"Mister, you mentioned that you'd traveled to the Jaded Garden multiple times, right? Do you know the families that live there such as the Wang Family? Can you tell us a little about that place as well?" Yuan asked the pilot as they traveled in the air.
"Of course. The Jaded Garden is a unique place that's home to the Six Spiritual Families, and the Wang Family is one of these families. The Six Spirit Families is an alliance of sorts between 6 separate powerful families, but not much is known about them, as they have only revealed themselves recently, quickly becoming powerhouses within the cultivation world."
"In fact, the Jaded Garden used to be a secluded area, but ever since cultivation became known to the world, they began opening their doors to outsiders, even taking some people in as disciples."
"Is this why you're traveling to that place?" Jean asked them.
"Something like that." Yuan nodded.
"Well, good luck. It won't be easy joining their faction.. From what I've heard, they have many cultivation geniuses that have already reached Spirit Warrior within their background, but I don't know whether that information is true or fake, and it's quite hard to believe that there are already people that have reached Spirit Warrior."
"Many Spirit Warriors…" Yuan mumbled.
If they'd known about cultivation for hundreds of years now, it wouldn't be weird if they had Spirit Warriors, and even Spirit Master was possible as they'd already proved to him.
In fact, it would be weird if they didn't.
About half an hour later, they arrived before a mountain valley that was enveloped in thick fog.
"Can you even navigate inside such a thick fog?" Meixiu asked when she saw the fog in the distance.
"Yes, it'll be fine. It's only foggy at the entrance and high altitudes which we must travel because of the tall mountains. Once we pass the mountain, we can start to descend into the valley where there isn't as much fog."
"As for the navigating through the fog, we have an autopilot system prepared just for this, allowing the helicopter to autopilot itself through the fog at a predetermined path," Jean explained to them.
"I see…" Meixiu nodded.
And just like he'd said, Jean made the helicopter go into autopiloting mode once they reached the fog.
After another half an hour, they could feel the helicopter descending towards the ground.
A few moments later, their helicopter emerged from the fog and entered a vast but clear plain in the middle of a mountain valley.
"We have safely entered the Jaded Garden. We will arrive at the landing site in 10 minutes." Jean said to them as he regained control over the helicopter.
Although he could've continued to let the helicopter fly on autopilot, he enjoyed controlling the helicopter personally.
Ten minutes later, the helicopter landed in a spacious land that had a couple of helicopters that belonged to others parked.
"Here's my phone number. Call me if you need anything." Jean handed Meixiu a business card that had his name and phone number.
"Also, I can only stay here for 30 days maximum before I have to return to the agency. If you stay longer than that but still wish to return with me, you'll have to purchase another ride with the agency including the waiting fee." Jean warned them.
"As for where I will stay…"
Jean pointed to a building a few hundred meters in the distance and said, "I will be there if you cannot call me for any reason."
"I understand." Meixiu nodded.
Before they left, Yuan asked Jean, "Mister, can I leave my wheelchair here in the helicopter?"
"Eh? I don't mind…" Jean nodded his head, but he was definitely taken by surprise by Yuan's question.
After all, why would someone who had to travel in a wheelchair leave it behind? Does he intend on letting the young lady carry him the whole time?
"Thanks." Yuan then stood up from the wheelchair without any effort before folding it and putting it inside the helicopter, leaving Jean dumbfounded.
"By the way, which direction do we go?" Meixiu then asked, as she couldn't see any cities or buildings beside the one Jean pointed to in the area.
"It's three miles that way." Jean pointed in a certain direction, and he continued, "Unfortunately, there are no taxi services in this area, so you'll have to walk there."
"That's fine. Let's go." Yuan said.
Meixiu and Yuan then quickly left the scene, and since they weren't in a hurry, they walked very slowly, quietly enjoying the environment and fresh air.
"I have never smelt such fresh air before," Yuan said after he took a few deep breaths.
"Yes, this place has very clean and high-quality air. Every single breath I take makes me feel cleaner inside." Meixiu agreed with him.
After walking for an hour, Meixiu could finally see some tall buildings in the distance.
"We're almost there," she said to Yuan since he couldn't see that far with his divine sense.
"Here you go." She then handed Yuan his black mask before wearing one herself.
A couple more minutes later, they arrived before a large gate where a few guards stood.
"Hmm?"
The guards quickly noticed their presence, and one of them said, "That person is wearing a black mask. Do you think he's the person Senior Wang warned us about? What was his name again?"
"His name is Yuan," said another.
They were clearly instructed to be on the lookout for a person wearing a mask.
Sometime later, Yuan and Meixiu finally arrived before these guards.
"Hello, is there a 'Yuan' amongst you two?" One of the guards asked them.
"That's right. I am Yuan." Yuan responded in a calm voice.
"I understand. Please wait for a minute. We have already sent someone to notify Senior Wang. She should be here shortly."
"Okay." Yuan nodded, and they proceeded to wait some more until the guard that left to find Senior Wang returned to the site with her beside him.
