Elder Meng whistled after seeing Yuan in their guest uniform.

"Not bad, young man. But you would look even cooler in our official uniform. How about joining our sect? With your cultivation, you would immediately become a Core Disciple or even a high-ranking sect elder if you wish."

Yuan smiled at his offer and said, "Thank you for the offer, but I don't plan on staying in this world for too long."

"This world…? Are you going to challenge the Stairway to Heaven soon?"

"Something like that." He nodded.

"I see. What a pity."

"..." Tian Yanyu looked at Yuan with a perplexed expression on her face after hearing this.

'We've just met, yet he's already leaving…?' She sighed inwardly.

"Come on, I will show you around the sect." She said to him a moment later.

"Alright."

Yuan left the building with Tian Yanyu the next moment, and she would proceed to give him a tour around the Jade Sword Manor.

Unlike the sects within the Lower Heavens, the sects within the Third Heaven are so vast that flying is required if one wanted to travel around, as most sects are split into hundreds if not thousands of smaller platforms that usually floated above the ground to save space.

"This is one of our training grounds. Our Jade Sword Manor has a total of 20 training grounds. Half of them are available to the Outer Court and Inner Court disciples while the other half are for Core Disciples and Elders."

Their first stop was a training ground meant for Core Disciples.

Due to their naturally low numbers, the training ground appeared to be empty at first with only a few disciples training on it, but their sword techniques were so flashy and powerful that if there were more disciples training there, they could accidentally hurt each other.

Of course, there were defensive formations to lower the risk of disciples injuring each other, but incidents still happen from time to time.

After watching the disciples for a few moments, Tian Yanyu suddenly spoke, "Xiao Yang, want to spar with me for a bit?"

Yuan looked at her with raised eyebrows, questioning her intentions.

"Even though I have seen you fight from afar, I still cannot fully grasp your prowess. Perhaps if I exchanged swords with you personally, I might understand you a little better."

Yuan smiled and said, "Sure, but let's do it later. I want to see more of this sect for now."

"Okay." Tian Yanyu was in no rush to spar with him, so she didn't mind waiting a little.

They left the training grounds to look at the other places.

"This is one of our medicine gardens. We have around 100 of them. Unless you want to get attacked by the guards, don't get too close to it. Only those with official orders are allowed to step foot on these grounds. Of course, these aren't our most valuable treasures. Those are hidden somewhere within the sect."

The medicine garden before them was filled with all sorts of plants that stretched to the horizons, and a few moments after their arrival, Yuan could sense someone watching them from afar.

They didn't linger and proceeded to the next area shortly after.

Over the several hours, Tian Yanyu would bring Yuan to many different spots within the Jade Sword Manor, but even after spending so many hours, they were not even halfway finished with the tour.

Seeing how it was starting to get dark, Tian Yanyu suggested they take a break and eat some food.

"Sounds great." Yuan nodded.

Sometime later, they arrived at the Comfort Peak, a place designated for disciples to relax.

"This is Comfort Peak, where disciples go to relax or have fun when they're feeling tired or simply need to release some stress. If you seek entertainment, you will find most of them here. The best restaurants in the sect could be found here. What do you feel like eating today?" Tian Yanyu asked him.

"I will let you decide. I'm not a picky eater and I enjoy almost everything."

"Alright. Then I will bring you to my favorite store."

As Tian Yanyu led Yuan through the Comfort Peak, the disciples around them would stop whatever they were doing to stare at them.

"I-Is that Senior apprentice-sister Tian Yanyu?"

"There's only one person in this sect with her beauty. It's definitely Fairy Tian."

"I thought she was being held captive by the Lin Family after starting a fight with them?"

"Who's that young man beside her? He's even wearing the honorary guest uniform."

"I cannot sense his cultivation. Is he a mortal?"

The disciples mistook Yuan as a mortal since they were too weak to sense his cultivation.

Eventually, they arrived at their destination.

"Jade Pavilion…" Yuan read the large sign above the restaurant's door in a mumbling voice.

When they entered, a handsome middle-aged man approached them, "Welcome back to the Jade Pavilion, Disciple Tian. We've missed your presence dearly."

"It's been a while, Li Ming."

As a regular of this restaurant, Tian Yanyu knew the names of every worker there, and this included even the janitors.

"Is my regular spot available?"

"Of course. It is always available for you, Disciple Tian."

"I will need another chair since I have a guest with me today."

"Very well. Please, follow me."

They followed Li Ming to a room on the highest floor.

The interior of the room was small and shaped like a rectangle, but it had more than enough room for two people. However, the best part of this room was not the interior but the view it provided, as the guests were able to see pretty much the entire place through the balcony.

Once they were seated, Li Ming handed them a menu and patiently waited for them to order.

Tian Yanyu ordered two dishes while Yuan ordered ten times that amount, which raised eyebrows, but Li Ming didn't say anything and left to prepare their order.
