Chapter 807 - 242: [Reward] (6400)
At that time, your rank here is higher than his."
Seeing Chen Yan’s indifferent expression, the steward laughed and said, "You actually don’t have to pay much attention to him. That person doesn’t often stay here; it’s said he likes wandering all over the mountain and might not come back even once in ten days or half a month.
This courtyard is practically exclusively enjoyed by your junior brother."
Chen Yan squinted and thought for a moment, nodded, and took the jade key from the steward’s hand, cupping his hands in thanks, "In that case, thanks to senior brother!"
The steward nodded and, not liking to linger, laughed as he said, "Junior brother, settle in here. If you need anything else, you can go to the Artifact Hall to collect it. It’s no trouble; you just need to let me know. If something else, you can also go to the Artifact Refining Hall and ask the steward elder for a note and fetch it from my place."
Chen Yan thanked him again and then watched as the steward departed.
Turning around to look at the courtyard, Chen Yan grinned slightly.
It’s alright; at least in the Celestial Demon Yin Yang Joyful Sect, I’ve got a place.

The Tomb Guardian’s residence in the west wing was still quiet; Chen Yan walked over to check it out. The room was empty, and the window was covered with condensation.
It seemed like no one had returned for quite some time.
That’s right, guarding the tomb probably doesn’t involve much except during Qingming Festival and the 15th of July.
Chen Yan walked out of the courtyard and stood in front of the gate.
The terrain of this place is actually higher than most regions of the Outer Sect.
Although it’s cut horizontally from a mountain, it’s not completely flat but has a slight curve. The southwestern edge is the highest point of the entire Outer Sect.
Hmm, perhaps back then when the Great Power used Supreme Mana to horizontally cut this mountain...
Was his eye a bit askew?
To cut out a slope?
However, what surprised Chen Yan was the view from this elevation at the gate, overlooking most of the Outer Sect territory!
Artifact Hall, Artifact Refining Hall, Alchemy Hall, Jing’an Hall, Scripture Tower, Practice Ground, Outer Academy, Lecture Hall...
One by one, the areas came into view.
Suddenly, Chen Yan’s eyes caught something.
He saw a region shrouded in mist, amidst many buildings and pavilions, as if adorned with patches of white mist.
It was the pond where Beautiful Glow Xiahua Demon resided!
From here, he could overlook and gaze upon that place.

Chen Yan returned to the courtyard, which was quite empty with no furnishings.
But in the corner, there was a row of flower pots, the plants mostly withered, even rotting beneath the moisture.
Occasionally, a pot or two was still alive, but in a twisted, half-dead, struggling state.
Chen Yan knew little about the Domain Realm’s plants—he had seen many names but hadn’t seen the real objects, so he didn’t recognize them when they were in front of him.
After a glance, he guessed that they were likely planted by the Tomb Guardian but not carefully tended to, and close to total extinction.
He turned back to his east wing and went to the practice room to take a look.
There was no Array for transporting Primordial Qi inside—the Saint sect was naturally rich in Primordial Qi, so there was no need for an Array to transport it.
However, the cushion on the ground had obviously rotten, so Chen Yan picked it up casually and tossed it outside, then pulled a pillow from the supplies in his Storage Jade Pendant and threw it on the ground.
After a thought, he spread a blanket.
He returned to the bedroom. The bed was made of stone, carved from bluestone.
This was quite unique!
In such a damp place, the bed carved from stone was cold, hard, and damp.
After living here for a few months, surely things like arthritis, internal dampness, and herniated discs would all start to appear.
He laid a latex mattress on top, covered with two sets of bedding, making it softer.
Chen Yan lay on it, let out a breath in his heart.
He started to ponder over his own matters.
The East Sea was captured; now it’s about his own fate—since that guy didn’t recognize his voice, he probably won’t associate him with Beautiful Glow Xiahua Demon.
Then he really has nothing to fear.
Chen Yan had no psychological burden regarding capturing the East Sea—that jerk was not a good person!
The only pity is, after capturing the East Sea, the storage equipment from the East Sea was also submitted—I couldn’t take that thing.
Thinking of the many good things on East Sea’s body!
Just the Substitute Puppet, he’s seen at least two! And the Spirit Sword he used isn’t ordinary, it even broke his Golden Light Technique.
Such a shame... the storage equipment couldn’t be kept.
Chen Yan lay on the bed for a while, after reviewing his experiences in the Celestial Demon Yin Yang Joyful Sect over the past few days, made his decision.
Tomorrow, go to Jing’an Hall to inquire, if the Gu Family isn’t planning to interrogate him, he’ll leave!
It’s time to go to the Southern Border.
