"Eternal Lotus Sect!" The two women simultaneously said in shock, freezing on the steps of the stairs.
Even if most of the people in Yellow Leaf City don't know the existence of sects, as mortals with considerably high status within the Yellow Leaf City, they were well aware of sects.
It was the place in which most immortals that pass by in the Yellow Leaf City come from, in other words, they knew that it was a haven for martial artists.
Tian Ye just tilted his head, "What's wrong? Why do you stop walking? We haven't reached the third floor yet."
The two women shook their heads, and Li Hua lightly laughed then said respectfully, "It's nothing, Lord Tian, it's just that the mention of sects are rare in these parts."
"That's right, my lord." Zhao Meng chimed.
Meanwhile, Tian Ye nonchalantly replied, "Is that so? Then save the shock for later, I'm hungry."
"Yes, Lord Tian." Li Hua calmed herself down and led the way to the third floor.
As they walked up the stairs, Tian Ye observed the first floor's decoration, and it was okay, but then when they reached the second floor, it became luxurious, then when they reached the third floor, it became extravagant.
He just chuckled at how cultivation worlds like to base the treatment of an individual based on his status… no, it should be that even his previous life, on earth was the same, it just wasn't visible in the public's eye because they thrive in gossip, and delusion about equality. It's just that in this case, in the cultivation world, with power ruling over all, it's more obvious.
There's no such thing as equality, no matter what world it was, the strong would thrive, whether in strength, in intelligence, or in wealth.
That's why there are people who stand at the peak, and there are people that stay at the bottom.
Li Hua then said, as they stepped off the stairs and into the ground of the third floor, "We've arrived, Lord Tian. Where would you like to be seated?"
"Hm…" Tian Ye scanned the surroundings, there were only 12 table sets within the third floor, when he was on the first floor, there were a total of 24, and on the second floor, there were a total of 18.
Since there were only 12 table sets, Tian Ye didn't have many choices, there were even a few people seated in 3 table sets, leaving only 9 table sets.
He directly chose to sit on one of the three table sets in the balcony, the one on the left. He never liked people standing behind him even if he could feel them so he sat on the seat, with the back facing the wall, or in this case, the wooden guardrail.
Li Hua, and Zhao Meng, stood on the side, waiting for Tian Ye to speak, but Tian Ye then waved his palm towards the front seats and said, "Help yourselves."
"Thank you, Lord Tian."
"Thank you, my lord."
The two women bowed and simultaneously replied respectfully before taking their seats.
Zhao Meng sat by the seat on the edge, near the guardrail, and Li Hua sat on the seat by the latter's side.
Tian Ye, seeing the chair on his side, put it in his spatial ring, since it was taking up too much space on his side, in his opinion.
Seeing the chair disappear, the two woman's mouth opened wide in shock momentarily, but Zhao Meng, who had gotten used to Tian Ye's mysterious ways, regained her composure relatively fast.
Li Hua as well, regained her composure fast, used to dealing with problems calmly.
"Lord Tian, that was…?" Li Hua asked in interest.
Zhao Meng was nervous about Li Hua's question.
'Ever since earlier, you ask too much! Owner Li! Even if you want to die, I don't want to die yet!'
Zhao Meng could only pray for Tian Ye to not get offended.
"Hm? Nothing special, it was a gift from the previous 2nd Elder. It's a spatial ring." Tian Ye replied casually then said with a slight frown, "I'd like the Dragon's Gate Elixir wine now, and food as well, I haven't eaten in 10+ years. I forgot the taste of food."
"10+ years?" Li Hua muttered in surprise but then stood up with a smile, "Of course, Lord Tian, I'll arrange it personally myself so you don't get disappointed."
Tian Ye nodded in satisfaction, and didn't even watch Li Hua leave and looked at the entire Yellow Leaf City from the balcony of the third floor.
With his vision as a 9th Layer Qi Refinement Realm, from the Moonlit Pavillion's corner, near the wall, he could see as far as the next wall in the distance of 5 kilometers, albeit blurrily.
As he looked at the entire city, it was divided into 4 equal parts. So he then asked Zhao Meng, "Young Lady Zhao, is the Yellow Leaf City divided into 4 parts and each part is ruled by a great clan?"
Zhao Meng was a little surprised that Tian Ye had this knowledge but nodded, "Yes, my lord. But… How did you know? Isn't it your first time in Yellow Leaf…"
Before she could finish, she apologized profusely, "I apologize for prying, my lord!"
Tian Ye replied casually, "It's fine, it's true that I haven't been here before but the entire Yellow Leaf City within the 5 kilometers squared walls is divided into 4, couldn't it be any more obvious?"
Zhao Meng froze hearing his words, 'From here, Lord Tian can see within the area of 5 square kilometers even seeing the division of lands?!'
Tian Ye still didn't look at her as he inquired, "This place… the 1st district should be the Zhao Clan's territory is that correct?"
Zhao Meng got ahold of herself and enlightened, "Yes, my lord. It's indeed the Zhao Clan's territory, far up north from here, the 3rd district is the Xiong Clan's territory, next to it is the Fang Clan's territory, the 4th district and next to the Zhao Clan's territory is the 2nd district, the Duan Clan's territory."
"Hm…" Tian Ye replied without speaking further.
Meanwhile, he froze for a moment before channeling spiritual qi in his eyes with the excited thoughts, 'If channeling spiritual qi into the limbs strengthen its strength, my vision should be enhanced if I channeled spiritual qi into my eyes right?'
Soon, he implemented his thoughts and channeled spiritual qi into his eyes, and he stared at the blurry wall in the distance, it became so much nearer and clearer, like it was in front of his eyes.
His eyes couldn't help but have a tinge of excitement as his thoughts about spiritual qi succeeded, 'So it does increase vision? What about hearing?'
He took back the spiritual qi channeled into his eyes and focused them on his ears, and it directly increased his hearing ability.
With his hearing enhanced, he closed his eyes to get a better feel at spatial hearing.
Not long after he'd enhanced his hearing, he began to feel the surroundings, as if he saw them with his eyes, even those behind walls, he could see… to be precise, he could feel.
He also heard Li Hua's voice from inside the kitchen on the 1st floor, "You better make it as delicious as possible, got it! We have to please that individual better than you'd please the head of a great clan when they visit!"
He could also feel the expression of the chefs and servers' momentary shocked expression but then nodded solemnly saying, "Yes, Owner Li!"
They then began working efficiently.
He couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling Li Hua's placement of importance to him. 'This woman's intuition, isn't it quite strong? She hadn't seen me taking action personally, but is acting like this? Maybe she really did climb to this level of status herself without the help of ancestors.'
Seeing Tian Ye smile, Zhao Meng asked cautiously, "Is there something wrong, my lord?"
Tian Ye took back the spiritual qi that's being channeled to his ears then shook his head, "It's nothing but…"
"But…?" Zhao Meng asked in confusion, mixed with a little bit of nervousness.
Tian Ye then pointed at one of the three people within the third floor of the Moonlit Pavilion, towards a middle-aged man, his hair turning slightly white, but the demeanor he gave was that of a young and strong martial artist.
"That man has been staring at you for a while, do you know him?"
The middle-aged man frowned seeing Tian Ye point at him.
Tian Ye then frowned in return, "What's that man frowning about? Does he want to die?"
Zhao Meng then hurriedly said in worry, "My lord, please let him go, he doesn't know anything. If you don't mind, please let me go over and talk to him, that's my uncle, one my father's brother, Zhao Wei."
"Is that so? Then I'll let him off once, I'm a kind man after all." Tian Ye nodded to himself.
Meanwhile, Zhao Meng couldn't help but think in her heart, crying, 'A kind man? Killing the guard because he displeased you?'
While Zhao Meng was thinking this, Tian Ye waved his hand, looking at the Yellow Leaf City again, "You can go."
"Thank you, my lord." Zhao Meng bowed towards Tian Ye as she stood up, then went over to her uncle, Zhao Wei.
