She also realized at this moment that this child should be an important character in the original novel.
With the surname Yang and a single spirit root, Lin Yan thought of someone. He was a genius figure in the demonic path, whose origins were unknown to anyone, as if he had appeared out of nowhere.
From the moment he appeared, he was already at the Nascent Soul stage. He had a great talent for demonic cultivation, progressing rapidly, and was the main antagonist for the male protagonist during his Nascent Soul stage.
This character had a significant role in the original novel, residing in the demonic path with cruel methods. No one knew his origins, and he cared not for anyone.
It was precisely because he had no weaknesses that the male protagonist had to expend considerable effort to deal with him.
Now, Yang Cong should no longer tread the path laid out in the original novel. With the company of his parents and having taken her as his master, even if he might be a generation below the male protagonist, his brilliance might overshadow that of the male protagonist.
After seeing that Master Yang's condition improved with the help of her spiritual energy, they set off. After all, Madam Yang had fled with her husband, and those people were still in pursuit.
Although Lin Yan did not take those people seriously, this was still a matter concerning their family. Lin Yan had already helped them a great deal, and they should not cause her further trouble.
Lin Yan took out the carriage she had bought earlier, then purchased another horse, seating them in the carriage.
After leaving the town where they had been in seclusion, Lin Yan took them away using her flying sword.
When Sect Leader He and the others arrived at the trial grounds, several sects were already present. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they also set up camp there.
Once the members of other sects arrived, they would begin to investigate the details of the trial grounds before discussing the matter of distribution.
Sect Leader He had already obtained all the information about this trial ground from Lin Yan, but Lin Yan had not fully explored it either, so the Lingxiao Sword Sect held no particular advantage.
Everyone was on the same starting line, and it all depended on who had the stronger means.
Lin Yan spent several days escorting the Yang family to the outskirts of the sect and then rented a small courtyard for them in the town at the foot of the mountain.
"Madam Yang, please stay here for the time being. This place is far from where you used to live, and your enemies' reach cannot extend this far.
Many of the residents here cultivate, but their spirit root talent is poor, so they are stuck at the Qi Refining stage. However, your strength is not weak, and you should be able to protect yourselves.
My master has gone out on business. When she returns, I will formally accept Cong'er into the sect. During this period, let Cong'er stay with you and enjoy some family time." Lin Yan was very thoughtful, especially after knowing Cong'er's fate.
She could not imagine how such a sensible and filial child could have ended up as described in the original novel, nor dared to contemplate how much suffering he must have endured.
"Fairy Wangshu, I... I truly don't know how to thank you!" Madam Yang's voice was choked with emotion.
"I will be Cong'er's master in the future. For a teacher, I am like a father for life. You are Cong'er's mother, so we are practically family now. Please, don't be so formal."
"Your... Fairy Wangshu's great kindness is something we, husband and wife, will never forget!" Madam Yang was extremely moved and wanted to bow, but Lin Yan stopped her.
"Rest well. Master Yang will recover soon." Lin Yan patted Madam Yang's hand and then left the courtyard she had rented for their family.
"Cong'er, you must be filial to your master from now on." Madam Yang said, stroking her son's hair with emotion.
"Yes, Cong'er will be filial to Master, and also to Daddy and Mommy!" Cong'er nodded earnestly.
"Let's go, we'll go see if Daddy has woken up." She pulled her child along.
She had once thought she would never see her son again. Now that their family was reunited, she cherished the current life deeply.
