Yang Dao was unable to react as he was embraced by his mother. After five minutes only did his mother loosen her arms and the young boy took a deep breath. He smiled as he looked at his mother and placed his arms around her neck. Then he placed his chin over her shoulder and said, "I missed you, mum."
Yue Ling rested her cheek against his and said in a soft voice, "I missed you too, my love."
Then Yang Dao greeted everyone and suddenly said, "Oh, yeah, I almost forgot, Athena has come over as well. She wanted to meet you all."
Yue Ling was surprised at first but then she smiled and said, "And you left her behind?"
"Why should she meet my mother before me?" said the boy as he hugged her again. Yang Dao did not say much to anyone but he missed the warmth of his mother's embrace. This embrace reminded him of how he met that lady called Feng Yun during the trial.
