Elena had to go to the inner sect to meet with Cao Ruyan. All the outer sect elders had their accommodation in the inner sect. The disciple who was in charge of guarding the gates to the inner sect stopped Elena as she was only an outer sect disciple and only allowed her in when she showed him the special imprint that Cao Ruyan had sent with the message.
Cao Ruyan lived in a small but beautiful villa. She was a very strong elder of the sect but she did not like to take on much responsibility for managing the sect. That was the only reason why she was working in the outer sect. The only thing she liked to do was to teach good female seedlings and to see them all grown up.
As soon as Elena came close to the villa, she heard a mental message to enter the property and then to come to the garden. Currently it was afternoon time and Elena saw that Cao Ruyan was leisurely enjoying tea in the garden.
