"Master... Master?" Zhong Anan looked at Mu Guqing with disbelief on her face.
Mu Guqing smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's me!"
As soon as her words fell, Zhong Anan threw herself forward, hugging Mu Guqing and sobbing with joy.
"Master, I thought I'd never see you again. It's really wonderful that you could come back!"
Now, Mu Guqing's body resembled that of a little girl. Being held in Zhong Anan's arms made her look somewhat awkward, but she gently patted Zhong Anan's back.
"There, there! Don't be sad; I've returned, haven't I?"
At this moment, the members of the Taiyin Deity Clan also rushed over and knelt down, somewhat choked up as they shouted.
"Old Clan Leader!"
"Greetings, Clan Leader Mu!"
These shouts were all sincere and moving.
Mu Guqing slowly nodded, "Everyone, rise!"
With her words, a gentle mystic yin force lifted all the kneeling members of the Taiyin Clan.
