Yang Chan seemed to have had a very long dream. In the dream, her family was still living happily together. Her eldest brother was still practicing martial arts every day, while her second brother was idling around. When he had time, he would go and peek at his unmarried wife. She was naively doing needlework at home every day. Her life was very dull, but it was very comfortable.
However, this was just a dream. Yang Chan felt a warm current flowing into her body. Finally, she slowly opened her eyes.
She was still lying in the Yang family's courtyard. The sky was already a little dark. In front of her, a 30-year-old Taoist priest with a strange appearance was looking at Yang Chan with concern.
"Who…who are you?" Yang Chan felt her body regain strength. She quickly sat up and shrank back.
" Miss, don't worry..." The Taoist priest, Shen Gongbao, smiled and said," I am Shen Gongbao, a self-cultivator from Kunlun Mountain. I happened to pass by here today and saw the tragedy here. I came in to check and saw that you had fainted, so I saved you..."
Yang Chan's body trembled and she turned around. When she saw the corpses of her father, brother, and second brother, her eyes immediately turned red. She pounced forward and hugged the corpses of her father and brother, crying loudly.
Shen Gongbao did not stop Yang Chan. Instead, he looked at her greedily. The Age Hastening Palm had turned Yang Chan into a mature woman. She was worthy of her parents 'good genes. It could be said that she was pitiful. She was not inferior to the three sisters. She was the most beautiful girl in the world.
How could Shen Gongpao, an extremely promiscuous Demonic Priest, let go of such a beautiful woman?
" How could it be…The Yang family…How could the Yang family suffer such a disaster…" Yang Chan cried bitterly. It was like a pear blossom in spring. The Yang family had been doing good deeds in Guanjiang for so many years. Yang Chan really didn't understand why good people didn't have good rewards.
" Miss Yang, the dead are dying. I'm sorry for your loss..." Shen Gongbao sighed.
"Taoist priest, what…what is going on?”Yang Chan sobbed as she asked," Why…why did my parents and brother…be…by those people…those people…"
Shen Gongbao said," I have already figured it out. Your mother is Haotian, the younger sister of the Jade Emperor. She is called Fairy Yaoji. She descended to the mortal world to hunt down the evil Three-Headed Dragon. She met your father, Yang Tianyou, and married him. This is something that the Heavenly Law cannot allow. Therefore, the Jade Emperor sent a heavenly army to the mortal world to destroy your family and capture your mother. Now…I'm afraid she's in grave danger…"
" I see..." Yang Chan lowered her head and hesitated for a moment. Then, she suddenly knelt in front of Shen Gongbao and begged," Taoist priest, I know that you are powerful. I hope you can help my family and save my mother. I beg you..." After saying that, Yang Chan kowtowed to Shen Gongbao.
" Miss, this is too much for me..." Shen Gongbao hurriedly helped Yang Chan up and sighed." It's not that I don't want to help you... but... but my sect, Kunlun Mountain, has a special relationship with the Heavenly Court. If I help you... to be honest, I'll be going against the Heaven. Although I'm not afraid, I'll make things difficult for my sect..."
Yang Chan was the most innocent and kind-hearted. After hearing Shen Gongbao's words, she also felt that it was wrong to ask this Taoist priest to help her deal with the heavens. Even her mother, who was so powerful, had been captured. This Taoist priest did not seem to be as powerful as her mother. Moreover, he was not related to her family. How could she implicate others to stand up for her family?
However, she was a woman who had no one to rely on. She did not know any martial arts or spells. How could she save her mother?
……
The next day, Yang Chan, who knew that she had been forced to grow up by the age-hastening palm, was still grieving. With the help of Shen Gongbao, she buried her father and brother. Shen Gongbao sighed and said to Yang Chan,"Miss Yang, I'm sorry, I can't help you with anything. I'm currently staying in the Three Immortals Temple outside the city. If you need anything during this period, you can come to me…"
Yang Chan knelt in front of her father and brother's memorial tablets and silently cried. She nodded and said,"Got it, Taoist priest…"
After Shen Gongpao left, Yang Chan only knelt in front of her father and brother's graves while crying.
After an unknown period of time, a voice suddenly sounded,""Did Young Lady encounter any difficulties?”
Yang Chan was stunned for a moment. She turned around and saw a blind fortune-teller appear in front of her.
"Sir, are you…talking about me?”Yang Chan asked in confusion.
" Yes, I'm an iron-boned fortune-teller. I passed by here and heard you crying, so I came to ask you about it…" The fortune-teller said," I heard you crying miserably, so I can't bear to see you. If you have any difficulties, please tell me. Perhaps I can help you think of a way…"
Yang Chan wiped away her tears." Thank you for your kind intentions, Taoist Priest. However, it's my family's business. No one can resist it. I appreciate your kindness, Taoist Priest…"
" Miss, don't say that. Although I'm not good at it, I know a thing or two about divination. If you don't believe me, you can tell me your birth characters and wait for me to read them…"
Yang Chan hesitated for a moment when she heard the Taoist priest's words, but she still reported her birth characters.
Iron Bone Diviner calculated with his fingers and his expression changed drastically."I didn't expect…I didn't expect you to be the Jade Emperor's niece.”
Yang Chan was stunned when she saw that the Taoist priest had actually revealed her background. She immediately stood up and said," Taoist priest…how…how did you know…"
"Lady, I not only know that you are the niece of the Jade Emperor, but I also know that your mother married your mortal father without permission and violated the rules of heaven. Now, she has been captured by the Jade Emperor and brought back to the Heavenly Court. Your family has been destroyed.”
"Daoist…Daoist Priest is truly an immortal!”A naive girl like Yang Chan immediately believed that this Daoist was really an immortal. She immediately knelt down in front of him and said," Can you help me read my fortune? What happened to my mother after she was captured and brought back to the Heavenly Court?”
" Alright, let me do some divination..." The Iron-boned Divination God calculated and then pretended to say," I've figured it out. Your mother refused to admit her mistake in front of your uncle, the Jade Emperor. She was suppressed by your uncle at the foot of Peach Mountain and is now serving her sentence!”
"Ah!" When Yang Chan heard her mother's words, she almost fainted. With tears in her eyes, she said in a trembling voice," Can…can you please tell me how to save mother?"”
