The residence of the Yu Family's second son was known as Wutong Garden, a name derived from the classical allusion, "a phoenix alights on the wutong tree."
In the beginning, many disciples from the great clans and noble families within Celestial Province spread the rumor that the Yu Family's second son had grand ambitions. They claimed he intended to support his elder brother, with the two working in harmony—a dragon and phoenix dancing in unison—to propel the family to new heights.
But as the second son's actual behavior gradually became known, people realized that was never the case at all. When he chose that name, he probably didn't have the slightest thought of "dragons and phoenixes sharing the sky." It was far more likely that "upending dragons and toppling phoenixes" was closer to the truth.
