Chapter 2708 - 2709: Sky Sect 36
It was because the Sect Leader of Xing Sect was worried. He was worried that she wouldn’t be willing to go if he continued nagging. What should he do? He wouldn’t be able to answer to the Heaven Emperor, and the Heaven Emperor would definitely vent his anger on him.
He did not want to take the risk. He only wanted to be the Sect Leader of Xing Sect.
If he could not become the Sect Leader of Xing Sect, he would really be finished.
So he behaved himself and did not give Gu Chaoyan any chance to get angry.
He brought her to the clouds.
When she arrived at the clouds, Gu Chaoyan still felt a bit nervous. If she became a maid in the palace, she would no longer be in charge of the Xing Sect, but the clouds.
The rules here were strict, but it was not as good as in the Xing Sect.
Although the Sect Leader of Xing Sect was usually very naggy and prejudiced, he was an honest person.
He didn’t really do anything to hurt others.
But when it came to the clouds, Gu Chaoyan could not guarantee anything.
Therefore, he was more or less a little nervous.
“In the future, you’ll oversee matters in the Heaven Emperor Palace, attending to his daily life and sustenance. You’ll receive guidance, but I caution you against making errors. The Heavenly Palace has few inhabitants, and you’ll be solely responsible. No one will come to your aid, and any misstep will result in punishment,” the Sect Leader of Xing Sect warned.
Gu Chaoyan nodded.
She more or less knew about this.
She came here every day and found that there were very few people in the palace.
Gu Chaoyan started to learn from the people in charge.
The Heavenly Palace was not big, and there were many rules. There were a lot of things to do.
Gu Chaoyan did not finish learning until the sky turned dark.
After the lesson, Gu Chaoyan subconsciously followed the Sect Leader of Xing Sect home.
Just as he was about to depart the Heavenly Palace, he found himself halted.
“From now on, you will reside in the Heavenly Palace,” declared the Sect Leader of Xing Sect, leaving in haste, seemingly anxious to distance himself from any potential entanglements involving Gu Chaoyan.
Unaccustomed to this change, Gu Chaoyan felt a sense of confusion. She had grown accustomed to following the Sect Leader of Xing Sect, and without that guidance, she felt adrift.
The elderly maid accompanying her offered no additional information. She guided Gu Chaoyan to her designated resting place and promptly departed.
Surveying the opulent surroundings, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t shake the feeling that everything resembled a dream. Since her arrival at the Sky Sect, she had been navigating a series of unpredictable events, unsure of what each day would bring.
Contemplating when she would have the opportunity to engage with the Heaven Emperor and seek answers about her predicament, Gu Chaoyan succumbed to exhaustion and gradually drifted into slumber.
Unbeknownst to her, as she lay in peaceful sleep, a figure silently approached her bedside.
The Heaven Emperor, his gaze intense, observed her with a burning determination.
Little did Gu Chaoyan know, many aspects of her journey were aligning with the Heaven Emperor’s cunning plan.
However…
However, when he really saw her, everything was messed up again.
She was in the Heavenly Palace now. He had been too anxious.
He wondered if she would be able to face all this so soon.
Bathed in the moonlight, the Heaven Emperor’s hand tenderly brushed against Gu Chaoyan’s face. Her features, delicate and slightly furrowed in slumber, hinted at a subconscious unease within this unfamiliar celestial environment.
Sensing a presence, Gu Chaoyan instinctively extended her hand. Startled, the Heaven Emperor withdrew his touch, careful not to disturb her peace. Gu Chaoyan, still asleep, remained oblivious to the brief interruption.
The night unfolded at a languid pace, though for the Heaven Emperor, it felt remarkably short. A sense of urgency weighed on him—it seemed his departure was imminent.
Rushing back to his responsibilities, the Heaven Emperor returned, coinciding with Gu Chaoyan’s awakening.
