Chapter 1096Jade Sword Manor(3)

"What do you think of our sect?" Tian Yanyu asked him once they were alone again.

"I like the scenery. It's completely different from the ones in Lower Heaven." He said with a smile.

"Lower Heaven…? You've been there?" Tian Yanyu showed a clear sign of surprise on her face.

"Yes. I was even a disciple at this sect for a while." 

"Then why don't you become a disciple here for a while as well?" Tian Yanyu suddenly asked.

"I'm not sure what I would do as a disciple here." He shook his head.

"Well, what did you do in your previous sect?"

"I become a disciple mostly for the experience. Though, I must admit that the experience I had was limited."

"I can't say for sure since I've never been to Lower Heaven, but I would imagine that things are vastly different up here. But what I know for sure is that you'll have more opportunities up here, since we have more resources in the upper heavens."

"..."

After pondering for a moment, Yuan spoke, "Give me some time to think about it."

He immediately didn't refuse her offer. It was true that he didn't truly experience much in the Dragon Essence Temple, and he was interested in what it was like to be a disciple in the Third Heaven.

Tian Yanyu's hands turned into fists underneath the table from trying to hold her excitement.

'He didn't refuse! There's still a chance!' She smiled inwardly.

Tian Yanyu continued to ask Yuan about his experience in the Lower Heaven until their food had arrived.

They would stop talking to focus on their food and enjoy the scenery at the same time. Even though it was nighttime, Comfort Peak was still as lively as ever. In fact, it seemed even busier compared to when they first arrived.

An hour later.

Tian Yanyu stared at Yuan with a baffled look on her face.

'We finished eating at the same time even though he had ten times the amount of food I ordered…' She swallowed nervously.

Tian Yanyu snapped out of her daze a moment later, and she spoke, "Do you wish to rest for the night, or do you want to continue the tour?"

"Are you tired? We can rest if you want."

"I am not tired at all. In fact, I probably won't be able to sleep for the next several days since I am still excited about what happened at the Lin Family."

Yuan smiled, "Then let's continue our tour."

"Okay."

Core Disciples like Tian Yanyu received special treatment, and one of her many privileges was free food, so they left the restaurant without needing to pay.

The two of them didn't immediately leave Comfort Peak and lingered around for many more hours.

"This is one of the most popular shops around here. You get to sip on spirit tea for free while relaxing on a Spirit Calming Formation. Want to try it?"

Tian Yanyu stopped in front of this large building that was crowded with people outside.

"Don't mind the queue. Core Disciples have their own rooms, so we can go straight inside if you wish."

"Sure." He nodded.

They entered the building a moment later and walked straight to the only empty reception desk there while every other desk was occupied with disciples.

"Welcome to the Jade Tea Shop, Disciple Tian." The worker there immediately greeted her.

"A room for two."

"Sure thing."

The worker handed her a small jade tablet a moment later without asking any questions.

After taking the tablet, she brought Yuan to one of the rooms on the top floor.

Upon using the jade tablet to open the room that had nothing but two chairs that looked like massage chairs, a table, and a wooden drawer, Tian Yanyu said, "Take a seat. And do you have any preference for your tea?"

"I don't."

"Alright."

She went to the drawer and picked out a bag of tea leaves before preparing it with the teapot on the table.

Meanwhile, Yuan sat in one of the chairs, and his body immediately sunk into it, almost as though it was made of water and he was being embraced by clouds at the same time.

Once the tea was prepared, Tian Yanyu poured two cups and handed one of them to Yuan.

"This tea is made from leaves produced by our own sect. It has a special property that makes you feel as though you're slowly ascending to heaven. After drinking it, lay down and close your eyes."

After drinking the cup of tea, Yuan laid back on the chair and closed his eyes.

He could immediately feel the effects of the tea, and sure enough, his body felt incredibly relaxed while his consciousness was slowly drifting away.

This tranquilizing effect lasted for about two hours before it dissipated.

"There are even stronger teas if you want something longer lasting." Tian Yanyu said to him.

"I'm satisfied with what I experienced." He smiled.

"Then let's continue looking around."

After wandering the Comfort Peak for many hours until they were satisfied, they returned to the training grounds.

By the time they arrived, it was almost noon. 

"Please go easy on me." Tian Yanyu said to him as she retrieved her sword.

"And don't go easy on me. Come at me as though you're trying to kill me." Yuan said with a confident smile on his face.

Knowing his prowess, Tian Yanyu did not hesitate to treat their spar as though it was a life or death match.

Once they were prepared, Tian Yanyu made the first move, using a movement technique to get behind Yuan while swinging her sword at his neck.

Woosh!

Her blade struck nothing but air after Yuan dodged it with his own movement technique.

The few disciples at the same training ground quickly took notice of their spar, and they all stopped their own training to spectate.

It looked like Tian Yanyu had the upper hand at first, but these disciples quickly realized that was not the case.

"T-This guy… Who is this guy she's sparring with?!"
