She doesn't even know who she is. All she knows is that Khitan raiders came to plunder, and an old nun rescued her. Her master named her Yang Peng. This female Daoist has quite the background: she is none other than the mother of Yang Qilang, the seventh son of the Yang family generals of the Great Song. When she learns that Yang Qilang was pierced by countless arrows and killed by the Khitans, she is so furious that she never returns to Bianjing. Having lost faith in the Great Song, she becomes a nun in the nearby mountains and takes charge of the Jade Radiance Sect, becoming its leader, the Holy Mother Huanglian, Lin Qing'er. She and her master have a rough idea of where they are, and know that Khitan raiders often come here to plunder. Yang Peng stays with her master for four years, until her master finally tells her to go out and make her way in the world.
