Wu Yun doesn't even have the opportunity to digest that he's going to Ling Yan's former sect, because he spends the entire journey gripping Wan Mi's slippery feathers and trying to hold on for dear life.
Wan Mi seems to delight in making aerial displays of skill as she swoops and dives next to the rocky outcroppings that dot the landscape, only to nose back up just before impact. It makes Wu Yun's short life flash before his eyes, but Wan Mi revels in it and lets out a loud caw every time she executes a particularly impressive maneuver.
"Stop that! Just fly in a straight line!" he shouts, trying to make himself heard over the turbulence of the wind rushing past them.
Wan Mi gives no sign of having heard him, and continues to display her flying prowess, until they approach a mountain, its peak hidden behind the clouds, and she is forced to reduce her speed to prepare for landing.
