The day after the incident at the Lin Family, Yuan left the Tian Family with Tian Suyin and Tian Yanyu.

"Are you sure you want to stay behind? What if the Lin Family attacks while we are away?" Tian Suyin looked at her husband with a worried expression.

"Stop being so paranoid. I have a good feeling the Lin Family won't bother us." He nodded with a calm smile.

Sometime later, they left the residence and went to the nearest city teleporter.

"Before we arrive at the sect, I want you to remember some rules." Tian Suyin said to Yuan after they exited the teleporter and made their way to the Jade Sword Sect.

"One, you will not wander the sect alone. Two, you will have someone with you at all times."

She turned to look at Tian Yanyu and continued, "Since you agreed to let him in the sect, he'll be your responsibility. Don't let him out of your sight."

"I know…"

Yuan couldn't help but smile, "Why do you have to make it sound like I have some ulterior motive for visiting your sect?"

"You don't?"

"I don't."

"I don't believe you." Tian Suyin snorted.

Yuan casually shrugged.

Once they arrived at the sect, Tian Suyin said to Tian Yanyu, "Don't forget about the upcoming event. There will be a briefing about it tomorrow."

"I know."

Tian Suyin went ahead into the sect and quickly disappeared from their sights.

"Let's get you checked into the sect as a guest first." Tian Yanyu said to Yuan.

"Okay."

Yuan proceeded to follow her into the sect.

Sometime later, they stopped above a large building.

"This is our administration building. Once we check you in, you'll be given a guest uniform. You'll have to wear this uniform for as long as you are within the sect." Tian Yanyu explained to him as they descended in front of the building.

The moment they entered the building, Yuan could feel multiple pairs of eyes staring in their direction.

"Disciple Yanyu! You're back in the sect, and you're okay!" An old man with short white hair rushed over when he noticed them.

"Hello, Elder Meng. Of course I am fine. Why wouldn't I be?" Tian Yanyu showed him a friendly smile.

"Why wouldn't you be?" Elder Meng looked at her with wide eyes.

"There's a rumor going around that the Lin Family has captured you and is holding you prisoner! Did that not happen?"

"I wouldn't be here if I was captured, now would I? I don't know where that rumor came from, but it's not true."

"That's relieving to hear. Then the rumor about your family starting a fight with the Lin Family is also false, right?"

"That's… true. However, it's already been settled."

"That doesn't sound assuring. However, now that you're back in the sect, even the Lin Family cannot touch you. We've warned you multiple times to not leave the sect, but alas…" Elder Meng shook his head.

He then shifted his gaze to the handsome young man standing behind her.

"Who's this young man? Your boyfriend?"

Tian Yanyu chuckled, "This is Xiao Yang, a guest in my family, and he's also our savior. I brought him here because he wanted to look at our sect."

"Xiao Yang, this is Elder Meng. He's a close friend of my mother, and he used to be my tutor even before I came to the sect."

Tian Yanyu introduced them to each other.

'She didn't deny it…' Elder Meng could only think about how Tian Yanyu had ignored his earlier comment calling Yuan her boyfriend, something she would usually deny on the spot and even get angry about it.

'Just who is this Xiao Yang? How interesting…' He smiled inwardly.

"Anyways, can you help him with the procedures?" Tian Yanyu asked a moment later.

"Sure thing. Follow me, Xiao Yang."

Yuan followed Elder Meng to one of the tables, where he would give some information about himself to the sect.

'P-Peak Spirit King?!' Elder Meng's jaw dropped to the floor when he saw Yuan's cultivation on the paper.

He turned to look at Yuan, and sure enough, the aura of a Spirit King was emanating from Yuan's body, but he couldn't tell the exact level.

'He's not even 20 years old, and he's already a peak Spirit King? Where did such a monster come from, and how come I have never heard of him until today?' Elder Meng's trembling hands began sweating as he learned more about Yuan. He was beginning to understand why Tian Yanyu seemed to treat him differently.

Sometime later, Elder Meng returned to Yuan with his new uniform.

The majority of the uniform was black with a golden sword around his chest area.

"Here is your guest uniform. Please wear this for as long as you're within the sect. This way, we know that you're a guest. We have a changing room right over there." Elder Meng pointed to the door at the end of the room.

"I understand."

Yuan immediately went to change his clothes.

"You gave him the honorable guest uniform? Even though you know nothing about him?" Tian Yanyu asked Elder Meng when she saw the black uniform in Yuan's hands.

"Regardless of their identity, if they're a peak Spirit King, they deserve no less." Elder Meng said in a serious voice.

"By the way, where did you find a genius like him?"

Tian Yanyu smiled and spoke, "Believe it or not, he's the one who found me. He appeared out of the blue one day and has been helping me and my family since then— he's like a gift from the Heavens."

Elder Meng raised his eyebrows at such a suspicious situation.

"Are you sure you can trust him?"

"Besides my family, he's the only person I trust unconditionally. I know it might sound crazy, but I really cannot sense any malice from him. No matter his reason for helping my family, I am grateful for it."

Yuan came out of the changing room a few minutes later, and when Tian Yanyu saw his new look, her face turned slightly rosy. Naturally, she was unaware of this and only felt a little warmer than usual.
