The Jade Dragon Pavilion was an unassuming yet renowned establishment nestled near the outskirts of the Heaven Secret Sect. From the outside, it appeared humble—a single-story building with faded green awnings, flanked by two ancient stone dragon statues that seemed to guard the entrance. Lanterns with swirling cloud patterns hung from the roof, casting a gentle, amber glow across the cobbled pathway. Inside, the air was fragrant with the aroma of rare teas, and the decor was simple yet elegant—lacquered wooden tables and benches, polished to a sheen, and delicate screens painted with scenes of mountains and rivers.
