Eleven massive, square towers surround the castle, they reach twice the height of the walls and are connected by lower, solid walls made of white stone.
Ornate windows are scattered thinly across the walls in an asymmetric pattern, along with overhanging crenelations for archers and artillery.

A huge gate with broad metal doors, a draw bridge and strong defenses. Guards stood tgere side by side equipped with swords and armors, on guard on whatever dangers are lurking.

Li Yuhan swiftly landed on the ground along with his diciple.after seeing them land, The guards that are standing in front of them immediately bowed their head as a sign of respect. Li Yuhan only gave them a nod and looked down at his diciple. Checking his condition.

"Peak Lord Wen, we guess that you are tired from travel. Please let this humble servant to show you the room." A woman beside them spoke with a soft tone also bowing her head.

"Do you want to take a rest first?" Li  Yuhan asked after seeing his diciple somewhat tired expression.

"If master wants to. Then this diciple will also take a rest."

Li Yuhan gave a 'mn' smiling, he looked at the female servant who was looking at them. "Then this lord shall trouble you. Please lead the way." With a swift movement she turned to her back and started  walking, making sure that the well known master is following her.

Walking in the path full of green bushes and red flowers, Li Yuhan gave a little sigh That not even his self knew it. Xu Lanyun noticed his shizun's sigh, feeling worried he quickly asked, "is something bothering you shizun?"

Li yuhan shook his head and remained silent. In his heart something makes him uneasy. It's weird but after that mysterious man appeared infront of him, he knew that something's going to happen.

They entered the room. It almost looks like a house with fourteen rooms and spacious area. Simple furnitures are neatly arranged and the fragrant jasmine smell of incense filled tge room. Li Yuhan sat down elegantly And relaxed his body. Being  inside this empty shell for many years, he already adopted the man's elegance and grace. If he's bored, he will casually pretend and act like the original Wen Yuan and would scold everyone which freak the hell out of Xu Lanyun and others. After that he will laugh and laugh until The warrior peak's lord go there and smack him.

He stared at his diciple who is smiling at his sword. 'what could this child must be thinking?'

Xu Lanyun sat down on his bed with legs crossed. Unsheathing the sword his master gave him, he smiled. He shall treasure this! his master gave it to him, he will never let it go dirty with the blood of those who are unworthy!

A knocked made their attention go towards the door. A voice came from the outside.

It was Wen Yunfan.

"Yuan-shidi, open the door."

Xu lanyun bolted out and hurriedly opened the door. There, Wen Yunfan, and the other peak lords are standing. Each of them have dark look on their faces and gritting their teeth, except ofcourse of Wen Yunfan and Wen Jieli.

"Shidi, this quarter is only reserved for peak lords and heads." Wen Jieli started the conversation with a slow manner. Clearly stating what he meant.

Wen Yanmei bursted out and entered the room pointing out all the simple funitures of the room. "Those damned cultivators! Do they have no shame?! It's clear that they are underestimating us!!"

"Mei-shimei, calm down." Wen Gouzhi reprimanded her.

Her furrowed burrows even got worse from what Wen Gouzhi said. placing her hand on the end of the table, cracks appeared on it and soon turned into dust.

"Why?! Are you siding those useless bunch of cultivators? Treating those who are lower than them like an ant?! I'll beat their diciples with mine and let's see who will have the last laugh!"

Wen Yanmei, is the master of spy peak and  second cousin of Wen Yuan. she grew up in a very tempestuous sorrounding when she was a child and was always causing fights and uproars in their sect even bacj when she was a child. At the age of twenty-five, she already surpassed her father and inherited the title of being a sect master. Now that she grew up into an adult she even became more furious, and sadistic towards others  occasionally having fights with Wen Yuan calling him such as scum, bastard and so on.

Even though she is good-looking nobody would want such a wife stronger than them ah!

Remaining a composed look, he put his hands on Xu Lanyun's shoulders.

"I shall lead you to your room." He said. "Rest for an hour and come see me at the garden. I'll teach you some techniques." He added. at first Xu Lanyun frowned. Thinking he can't lay beside his Shizun tonight. But soon smiled when his master said that he will teach something to him.

They stood up and went their way into the door. After a short while, they both disappeared away from the crowd.

The Peak lords stared at each other. Did Wen Yuan left because they are noisy?

Short silence filled the room before Wen Jieli spoke, folded fan hit his palm. "Ah! I forgot to say something to my shidi!" with a slight movement of his robe he olanned to leave. However Wen Yunfan held his wrist stopping him. "Sect masters are ordered to have a meeting now." Wen Jieli stopped his movement and looked at his wrist  nodding, "i see.."

Xu Lanyun entered their quarter. Li Yuhan felt a little pissed off with the area that the disciples are supposed to sleep. It was not in the novel! Although Yu Gong sect and their sect have bad relationship towards each other, they didn't give a place like this to them! Atleast according in the novel, it is spacious with a lot of rooms and with good furnitures.

But this- this is unreasonable!

There is only a total of twelve rooms and how many is their diciples? It's twenty-four! Even the girls are mixed with boys! And look at that bed! Are they going to fit there?!

What's with this treatment?! He felt like vomiting and didn't show any vague of emotion in his face except of annoyance.

Just wait, Yu Gong sect. when my diciple is powerful enough, he will trample this place!!!(might be killed before he saw it.)

"nothing. this is nothing. Just rest and do what i said."

Xu lAnyun nodded and proceeded to enter. A boy with the same age as him was standing there. Upon seeing him the boy smiled and also greeted Li Yuhan who was about to leave. Such a  proper and honest child. very different from his master. Who else could it be? Ofcourse it's Xuan Xhelan!

"Xu-shidi, would you mind if we share a room?"

Xu Lanyun Only nodded. This boy is honest and it so seems like he doesn't have any malicious motives upon approaching him. So what's the harm?

Li Yuhan returned to the quarter and locked his door. Better to relax himself and relieve his boredom. He took out his guqin fRom his spatial ring. Sitting in a Lotus position, he closed his eyes and lightly touched thea strings, strumming it continuously  producing a sweet melody that soothes the spirit of the other peak lords in the quarter.
