Chapter 2702: Sky Sect 28
Editor:Â Henyee Translations
What else could Gu Chaoyan say? She could only nod and acknowledge the Sect Leader of Xing Sect.
After all, he was the Sect Leader of Xing Sect. Whatever he said, he would do.
She followed.
The Heaven Emperor was different from the others.
Within the Xing Sect, garments were meticulously managed based on hierarchical divisions. The residents of the celestial realms had dedicated caretakers for their clothing needs, as did the members of other sects, each operating in separate spheres.
However, the Heaven Emperorâs attire was an exceptionâit stood alone in its exclusive pool.
âWhile you can seek Lin Xueâs assistance for routine matters, only you have the authority to send it to the clouds,â instructed the Sect Leader of Xing Sect.
In theory, only one individual held the responsibility for the Heaven Emperorâs clothing, initially shouldered by Xiaoyun.
Xiaoyun had proven herself more than capable of handling such responsibilities.
However, harboring concerns about Gu Chaoyanâs perceived incompetence, the Sect Leader sought Lin Xueâs aid, hoping to avert any potential mishaps. Beyond personal worries, the Sect Leader aimed to shield the Xing Sect from blame, a scenario he vehemently wished to avoid.
The Xing Sect had long occupied a lower status within the Sky Sect hierarchy. Avoiding unnecessary ventures became a fundamental strategy for maintaining the Sect Leaderâs standing in the eyes of the Sky Sect.
If something went wrong in the clouds, he would not be able to cover it up.
âRemember, you must be very, very careful. Nothing must go wrong. Neither you nor I have the ability to bear it,â the Sect Leader of Xing Sect said in a rare serious tone.
Gu Chaoyan suddenly got distracted.
The Sect Leader of Xing Sect didnât seem to be lying. He didnât seem to want anything to happen to her.
Wasnât that what heâd set her up to do? To make her go wrong?
Gu Chaoyan suddenly got confused.
Amid her uncertainty, the Sect Leader of Xing Sect swiftly moved forward with the next phase.
âWeâre heading to the clouds now. Memorize the designated routeâno aimless wandering. Whether itâs the clouds or other sects, nonchalant strolls are off-limits. Stick to your path, and all will be well,â the Sect Leader emphasized, handing Gu Chaoyan an authority token with limited significance. âThis token grants access to specific areas. Donât dwell on it too much.â
Gu Chaoyan nodded, sensing an underlying caution from the Sect Leader, as if he anticipated potential missteps.
Despite her discontent, Gu Chaoyan chose to remain silent and followed their lead.
The route proved straightforward, a predetermined path barring any casual detours.
Upon reaching the clouds, the Sect Leader escorted her directly to the Heaven Emperorâs palace. Specific garments awaited, exclusively reserved for the Heaven Emperorâs use. No interaction with the Heaven Emperor was required; her sole duty was to place the clothes in their designated location.
Then her mission was complete, and she went straight down the mountain.
The Sect Leader of Xing Sect was afraid that she would do something wrong. He reminded her repeatedly, afraid that something would go wrong in the future.
Gu Chaoyan felt helpless.
The matter was so simple that she would not make a mistake on a business trip.
The Sect Leader of Xing Sect also treated her like a fool.
âTomorrow, you will come alone. You must be careful and not make any mistakes, understand?â The Sect Leader of Xing Sect continued to nag.
Gu Chaoyan nodded helplessly.
Upon her return, Gu Chaoyan carried a substantial load of clothing with her. A brief survey of her surroundings yielded no sight of the Heaven Emperor.
A touch of melancholy settled within her. It seemed that the opportunity to encounter the Heaven Emperor during this assignment eluded her grasp.
