Su Jie didn't return to his former residence in the cave dwelling; instead, he arrived in front of a grand manor with four courtyards.
The mansion was quite imposing, with spacious grounds, intricately carved beams, and painted rafters adorned with various exotic flowers and rare herbs.
This was the residence assigned to Su Jie by the Sect after his promotion to inner disciple, a stark contrast to his narrow cave dwelling from before.
In front of the main gate, having been informed earlier, a dozen or so servants, maids, and chefs were waiting at the doorstep; as soon as Su Jie appeared, they all knelt down in unison.
"Greetings to Mr. Su."
They knelt on the ground without daring to move an inch until Su Jie spoke.
They now belonged to Su Jie's personal possessions, given to him along with the mansion; Su Jie could kill them on a whim without any repercussions.
"Rise, go prepare dinner. I will be hosting friends tonight."
Waving his hand, Su Jie walked into the mansion.
