Outer Courtyard (71)
"Hmm that's not a bad idea" Ruvan murmured while nodding his head. This would not only shorten things quite a bit but also help him establish a name among the disciples after all reputation was very important within the Sects.
"However, I do not recommend that you do it immediately…"
"Remember that you are here to avoid attracting the attention of Davos and his men…"
"First take the opportunity to familiarize yourself a little with life within the Sect"
"Isn't that almost impossible being your new personal disciple now?" Ruvan said with a wry smile. He was sure that from now on he would be on the lips of everyone within the Sect after all Jena almost never accepted disciples.
"Hahaha I know but the point is to avoid attracting more attention than necessary"
"It would be good for you to learn a little about the internal workings of the Sect and especially its internal politics. Remember that core disciples are influential figures within the Sect. Many Elders and disciples sought to gain the favor of the core disciples after all they would become central figures within the Sect.
"Also, remember that I need you to help me clear the courtyards of the disciples controlled by Clayton and his henchmen"
"Currently the Outer Courtyard is a complete mess and I need you to fix it…"
"I understand…" A grimace appeared on Ruvan's face after all, although it wouldn't be that long, he would still have a considerable way to go.
"Don't be discouraged…"
"There are many beautiful girls in the outer courtyard… I'm sure you yourself will prolong your stay there," Jena said with a smile.
The Outer Court is where the vast majority of the Sect's disciples were. If there was an ideal place to hunt women, this was undoubtedly the right one.
"Well, with all this ready, it's time for you to go to sleep…"
"Tomorrow I will assign someone to help you familiarize yourself with the Sect" Jena said as she motioned for him to leave.
"What's going on?" Jena asked with her eyebrow raised when she saw that Ruvan had not left yet.
"I can't give my fiancée a taste."
"Go away if you don't want me to rip off your penis and put it up your ass."
"Hahaha it's a shame that the Sect Master does not accept even a joke" Ruvan said with a fake smile as he left the pergola.
"This way, sir," said a young maid as she guided him towards the guest patio.
"Hahahaha you shameless fucking little bastard," Jena muttered with a strange smile on her face. It had been a long time since someone had dared to speak like that to the legendary 'Enchantress'.

Next morning
Ruvan woke up refreshed after sleeping like a bear. No one came to bother him all morning so he took the opportunity to sleep for a while longer before finally getting up.
The little maid named Anny was waiting for him outside along with a delicious breakfast which he did not hesitate to devour.
'I could get used to a life like this...'
'The only thing I was missing was a girl to keep me company...' Ruvan thought to himself as he evaluated the girl standing in front of him who kept giving him curious and at the same time embarrassed glances.
Anny was an adorable looking girl who had a small but slender body. Ruvan would no doubt devour her but he didn't want to anger Jena by touching one of her slaves after all there were some masters who were quite overprotective of their slaves.
Ruvan was the same so he decided to respect and leave the little girl intact.
Finally after eating, Ruvan finally left Jena's personal residence where there was already a person waiting for him to give him his tour of the Sect. To Ruvan's surprise, the person Jena had assigned him was none other than Elder Yurie.
"Elder Yurie… It's nice to see you again," Ruvan said with a smile as he greeted the flexible woman standing in front of him.
"I see you took your time ehh" Elder Yurie said with a raised vein on her small forehead, after all she had been waiting for Ruvan to come out for almost two hours.
"I'm sorry… No one informed me that you were here," Ruvan said with an embarrassed look. In fact, they had warned him but he cared little about this as he dedicated himself to enjoying his breakfast in a calm manner.
"Well that doesn't matter now… We've already wasted enough time… Let's go" Yurie said as she pointed the way.
She and Ruvan quickly descended the mountain path where Jena's residence was located. In just over twenty minutes they were back in the outer courtyard.
"I'm surprised they assigned you as my guide," Ruvan said with a smile as he tried to break the awkward silence between the two. It was evident that Yurie was not the best conversationalist.
"Actually, I asked for it…" Yurie said in a low voice.
"Oh really? It seems that the heavens bless me to have Elder Yurie as my personal guide" Ruvan said with a flirtatious smile.
"Hmph… Consider it as a way to return the favor," Yurie said haughtily. Ruvan was not stupid to not realize that this was this woman's facade to hide her shyness so he decided to play along.
"I certainly saved a million lives in my previous life to be worthy of such a privilege~"
"I'm going to hit you, you know?"
"Pfft Hahahaha" "Hahahaha" They both ended up laughing as they walked through the busy streets of the outer courtyard.
"The truth is that it surprises me that being the personal disciple of the Sect Master, you are still a member of the outer court…" Yurie said with a curious look.
"My Master wants me to first familiarize myself with the environment within the Sect"
"And still I am on the seventh stage…" said Ruvan with a smile.
Yurie could do nothing but smile awkwardly after all the young man in front of her had defeated the person who had incapacitated her.
Looking the awkward expression on Yurie's face, Ruvan quickly change the topic.
"And good? What's good about the Outer Courtyard?"
"Mmm actually in my humble opinion it is the happiest courtyard in the entire Sect. Not only because it is the most populated but also because it is the one that organizes the most activities," said Yurie with a smile. It was evident that she really liked her life in the Outer Courtyard.
"First I'm going to show you the most important places…"
"I'm also going to take you to register your spirit beast so that you can take it with you without problems" She said to Ruvan
The tour lasted almost three hours after all, the Outer Court was quite large.
'The outer courtyard is at least twice the size of the Yellow City…' Ruvan thought to himself in an impressed manner.
The Outer Courtyard not only had the residences of the disciples but also its own commercial districts and restaurants intended for the entertainment of the disciples and Elders who lived there. Other types of facilities such as cultivation towers and combat arenas only added to the multiple facilities and facilities that could be found within the Outer Courtyard.
'Mmm interesting... This sect seems to mix the architecture of the eastern continents with some aspects of the central continents'
'In that sense he is similar to Marxus'
"And this will be your residence," Yurie said with a smile as she hands him a set of keys. Currently they were both standing outside a nice large-sized house.
The house consisted of two levels in which there were all the comforts that a disciple could need for his daily stay. Ruvan couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised after all; this entire place was much better than he expected.
"You got lucky…"
"This residential area is quite coveted in the outer courtyard due to its tranquility and distance from the center," Yurie said with a smile.
"May I know why I have been so lucky?" Ruvan asked doubtfully. The possibility that it was because of the Sect Master's disciple crossed his mind several times.
'It's not what you're thinking...' Yurie said as if she could read Ruvan's mind.
"Disciples with special physiques like yours receive a higher monthly allocation of contribution points as well as their own private residence…"
"In short, we are the lucky kids" Yurie said with a smile, after all she had also received the same privileges when she was a disciple.
"Mmm that makes sense," Ruvan said as he examined the streets full of leafy trees and decorated gardens. It was certainly a pretty cozy place to live. His house was also quite good, it even had a small cultivation room.
"Well... Now that we're done with everything"
"How about I invite you to dinner?" Yurie said with an embarrassed look after all she had never invited a guy to eat before.
"Sure… It will be a pleasure"
"Don't be confused... I'm simply doing this out of my duty as your guide"
"Yes~Yes~ sure"
"Have they ever told you that you are hateful?"
"Sometimes"
"…"
