A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 44 Mother and Daughter Reunited
Even if the hair is messy, even if the clothes are ragged, even if the body is thin.

When Caitlin really saw the thin figure standing on the road ahead, she still recognized the little troublemaker of Winterfell at a glance.

Tears instantly blurred Caitlin's eyes like a fountain, and she lifted her skirt almost immediately, wanting to run to the poor child.

But before she could make any movement, her blurry vision flickered slightly, and a small body had already thrown herself into her arms.

Caitlin was taken aback, and before she had time to think about whether it was Alicia who was fast or her eyes were dazzled, a cry full of longing and grievance completely crushed all her distracting thoughts.

"Mother."

Arya flung herself into Caitlin's arms, rubbing her head greedily against her soft chest.

"They killed my father, and they said he was a traitor. They lied! Father could never be a traitor. He has such a good relationship with King Robert! And Sansa..."

Listening to Arya's grievance and resentment in her arms, Caitlin's heart was full of love and sadness.

"My poor Arya, it's all right, it's all right... We will avenge your father's revenge, and we will rescue your sister..."

Catelyn spoke softly, stroking Arya's newly-growthed hair tenderly.

Arya was still babbling, and Catelyn just listened quietly.

Looking at the warm scene of the mother and daughter getting together, the corners of Lin Yi's mouth under the mask slightly raised.

Traveling northward for two months, he saw a lot of devastation caused by the war, coupled with the influence of the power of ghosts and gods in his left hand, it was inevitable that Lin Yi would feel a little violent and numb in his heart.

But seeing such a scene at this moment, the warmth of family affection and the beauty of humanity are once again displayed in front of Lin Yi, an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment wells up in his heart, and the trace of violent distractions lingering in his mind gradually dissipates.

To be able to see such a scene, what's the point of running around for a few months?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi looked at Caitlin and Arya quietly with those dark eyes, not interrupting their reunion.

Brienne's eyes also softened, and a smile could not help but hang on a face full of freckles.

Unlike Caitlin, Brienne saw all of Arya's movements, so when she saw the astonishing speed, Brienne was so shocked that she almost drew her sword.

But seeing the scene in front of her, no matter how hard her heart was, it turned into soft fingers. No one knew better than her, the female guard who accompanied her day and night, how much Caitlin missed her children.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Brienne will forget what happened just now.

After Renly's death, the female knight from Tarth never let go of any possible crisis.

"I'm very sorry, ma'am, but please allow me to interrupt."

Brienne's voice sounded apologetic, and Arya looked up from Catelyn's arms.

"So high!"

Arya looked at the tall figure in iron armor in surprise, and she could tell that it was a woman.

How could there be such a tall woman, much taller than the teacher!

"Ma'am, can I ask the second lady a few questions?"

Brienne tried to sound as non-hostile as possible.

"what is the problem?"

Caitlin asked subconsciously, but she immediately understood what Brienne meant, and then tightly hugged Arya in her arms with a hint of anger in her tone.

"I know what you are worried about, but there is no doubt that this is my Arya! No one can imitate Arya, and I am willing to vouch for her with my life!"

He Wen on the side also reacted.

He frowned slightly, and his eyes were on Arya, and he also saw Arya's speed.

As the leader of a cavalry, He Wen knows that speed is power, and being able to burst out with such speed in a short distance represents not only a flexible body, but also an amazing explosive power that should not be possessed by such a short body.

Hearing the conversation between Brienne and her mother, Arya's more sensitive mind instantly figured out everything, and she felt a little ashamed.

She had already discussed with the teacher, first concealing the identity of the teacher related to wizards and kingslayers, and then asking her brother Robb to send a guide to take him to the Great Wall by virtue of her identity as a swordsmanship teacher and savior.

Try to make this process smooth and gentle without too many twists and turns.

But when she saw Caitlin's face that was deeply etched in her memory, Arya still couldn't hold back, and rushed into her arms desperately.

But no matter what, it's done.

Arya quickly took her mother's hand, turned her head and pointed at Lin Yi behind her.

"Mother, I want to introduce someone to you."

Caitlin naturally would not forget the person who brought Arya to the army to block the way, but she did not ask aloud, but looked at Arya tenderly, waiting for her introduction.

After this ordeal, her tolerance for the children was raised to the point of excess.

Arya took her mother to Lin Yi.

For a swordsman, this is a very dangerous distance.

Brienne became more and more vigilant, and her palm was already pressed on the hilt of the sword at her waist.

He Wen also waved his hand secretly, and the troops behind him quietly formed an encirclement circle.

Caitlin noticed this too, but she didn't care because she didn't think anyone would be so demented as to shoot her here.

Arya cared even less, because she knew these people were no threat to her teacher.

She took her mother's hand and introduced it in an intimate tone.

"Yi Lin is my swordsmanship teacher and my savior. He brought me from King's Landing to Riverrun."

"Sword master?"

Caitlin was slightly taken aback, with a hint of surprise in her tone.

"Isn't your fencing master the Braavosi swordsman your father found for you?"

Her tone paused slightly, regretting her choice of words, and she focused her eyes on Arya, for fear that her words would bring back Arya's sad memories again.

But what she didn't expect was that Arya just nodded slightly.

"Syrio is a good swordsman, he taught me a lot, but so is Teacher Yi, and he was my choice!"

Then, under Caitlin's surprised eyes, Arya took Lin Yi's hand again, and introduced herself to him with a smile on her face.

"Teacher, this is my mother. Although my mother often makes me do things I don't like to do, she is a very good person and a very good mother."

Caitlin was a little surprised. Arya's kind words meant that this swordsman held a very high position in her heart, not even inferior to her, which made her feel a little apprehensive.

"Good morning, dear Lady Stark."

Lin Yi smiled and bowed.

"Hello, Mr. Yi..."

Caitlin also saluted.

Although Caitlin didn't feel that the man in front of her was qualified to be equal to her, she didn't want to hurt her child's heart.

Since Arya thought he was important, he must be.

And this wandering swordsman brought back his daughter after all, even if he doesn't have a title, he will definitely be the guest of Winterfell.

Seeing that the two seemed to get along very well, Arya couldn't help but look happy.

"My Arya." Caitlin gently stroked Arya's head, "It seems that after that, many stories happened to you, and I don't know you anymore..."

Arya quickly hugged Caitlin's arms and said softly.

"In the past few days, I will tell you one by one what happened on the road, but now, Teacher Yi's story is more important than mine."

With that said, Arya looked at Lin Yi, and Caitlin and the others also looked at Lin Yi.

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Yi gently pulled down his black mask, revealing a handsome face that was completely different from those of Westeros.

"Mrs. Stark, please allow me to introduce myself again. I am a swordsman from the Far East. This trip is to go outside the Great Wall and explore the reason for the recovery of magic."

"Magic recovery?"

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Caitlin's pupils shrank, and then she turned her head and looked at Brienne.

When she turned around again, Caitlin's eyes became more serious.

"Mr. Yi, please enter Riverrun City with me. The Stark family will definitely repay your kindness to my daughter."
