Raining Tea Pavilion was perhaps the biggest and most scenic location in the Southern Gate's Cleaners' Courtyard.

It was surrounded by evergreen trees that always bloomed even in the colder months, and it was so lavish that there was a fountain that stood beside it. It looked like the kind of place where youngsters would happily come to enjoy themselves after paying some good money.

If Hua Pan had been an ordinary guard captain, there was absolutely no way for him to obtain such a place for himself.

Even on the outside of the pavilion, there was quite a display of power and prestige going on. Some bulking cleaners that even the guards wouldn't mess with stood poised, barking at anyone that walked by.

They were obviously nothing more than ordinary henchmen, yet, since they were Hua Pan's henchmen, they had the capital to be arrogant.

After all, a tiger master wouldn't have dog pets. Each one of Hua Pan's trusted aides was a monster in their own right.

For being able to cultivate until where they were, they were undoubtedly above the common man. And this very fact made them arrogant, to the point where they would even murder people if they looked at them the wrong way.

And, as for what way constituted as the wrong way, that really depended on these mood of these goons. That was how tyrannous they were! It was no wonder that Hua La was scared of coming here.

”Lad, this really isn't the kind of place for us to be visiting…” Hua Pan urged, ”We should turn back now while we still have our lives. Just look at that fatty! He can probably rip our heads off in one bite. I still have things I want to do with my life!”

Hua Yan ignored him, and instead focused on Hua Ci. He had already noticed that she had been following them, but didn't say a word to her. In truth, he no longer had a use for her, so he thought that she would leave soon enough.

Looking at her though, it seemed as if she had no such thoughts. It appeared as if she was not really thinking as she walked. She was staring into the sky with a weird, dumb smile on her face.

”You,” Hua Yan called her, snapping her out of her daydreams, ”We're about to head in. My business with you is done. You can leave.”

Only now did Hua Ci realize that she had been following Hua Yan without a real purpose. Her job was to take him to Hua La. Now that she had done that, she no longer had a reason to stay behind.

Even though she couldn't fight, she would've almost followed Hua Yan into the Raining Tea Pavilion had he not reminded her.

It truly would have been disastrous if she just forgot herself and walked in. That would have been synonymous to asking for death and embarrassment.

Strangely though, she didn't feel like any of that would actually happen. After witnessing Hua Yan's display of tossing around Hua La all over the place, she didn't believe that anyone could get an upper hand on him.

Though she knew that it was silly of her to think this, since Hua La had no cultivation and was much easier to bully than people with cultivations, she didn't want to acknowledge it. She believed in her mind that if she walked in now, nothing would happen to her with Hua Yan around.

Nevertheless, she still respectively retreated off somewhere into the distance after hearing Hua Yan's reminder. It was obvious that he didn't want her to come in there. According to her, it was because he wanted to protect her from the events that would take place inside.
