"Seniors, this way, please."
Upon entering the pavilion, several graceful maids immediately came forward to welcome them, leading the way respectfully.
The three of them seemed to know the way, following the maid to a stone gate in the southwest corner of the pavilion before stopping.
The maid pushed open the stone gate and gestured for them to enter with a respectful hand.
The trio stepped inside. The stone gate closed automatically, blending seamlessly with the surrounding wall, leaving no trace of its existence.
Beyond the stone gate was a stone path leading deep underground.
The stone blocks were pure white, made of a common Spirit Jade. Lamps emitting a faint fluorescent glow hung high on both sides of the passage. At a glance, the path didn't feel narrow or oppressive at all; on the contrary, it was quite spacious and bright.
