章 86: Yao Meifeng's Desperate Flight (Part One)

For the two days immediately following the banquet, Wu Ling spent much of his time with his mother learning more about the Dark Half of the Bamboo Silk House.

"Since you've decided to invite Su Yao to tour the sect, there are some things that you should look out for during the recruitment process," Wu Ningli told her son over breakfast. While her own mentors in the sect would never have been as relaxed and informal as she was with her 'direct disciple', Wu Ningling had rapidly come to value the time she spent with Wu Ling discussing cultivation and the sect. 

For the past several years, while Wu Ling had always been a dedicated child working to care for her, the burden of doing so and the secrets he kept had increased the distance between mother and child. Now that he'd awakened and joined the sect, the two spent more time together each day than they had in years.
