General Cao's residence was a stark contrast to the grandeur and opulence often associated with the high-ranking officials of the Pace Setter Academy. Located on the outskirts of the academy grounds, it was a secluded area surrounded by tall, ancient trees that seemed to stand as silent guardians of the property. The residence was built into a rocky hillside, blending seamlessly with the natural environment.
As Kaelen and General Cao appeared at the entrance, the first thing Kaelen noticed was the simplicity of the place. The stone path leading to the main building was lined with meticulously trimmed shrubs and small lanterns that gave off a soft, warm glow. The building itself was a modest structure made of dark wood and stone, with a sloped roof covered in moss, giving it an earthy, almost rustic charm.
