Chapter 2708: Sky Sect 35

Editor: Henyee Translations

Despite his evident concern, the Sect Leader found himself obligated to entrust Gu Chaoyan with such a crucial responsibility. Perplexed, she couldn’t discern his true intentions. Was he scheming against her, employing this task as a means to an end?

Gu Chaoyan weighed the options. If she flawlessly managed the Heaven Emperor’s attire, she could transition to the role of a maidservant. However, any mishap could lead to dire consequences, possibly eternal damnation. Moreover, she couldn’t shake the fact that she was still a member of Xing Sect.

This perspective led Gu Chaoyan to question the Sect Leader’s motives. She couldn’t make sense of his actions unless he harbored some hidden agenda.

As these thoughts occupied her mind, the Sect Leader of Xing Sect continued his mutterings, oblivious to the turmoil within Gu Chaoyan.

Xiaoyun remained silent. The coveted job didn’t bring her joy, overshadowed by the tense atmosphere.

Gu Chaoyan, feeling the intensity of Xiaoyun’s glare, couldn’t help but sense a burning sensation on her left side. She believed herself to be innocent, blaming the Sect Leader for assigning the role. Why was he placing so much blame on her? It was as if she had the liberty to choose her own position—a choice she would likely not have made if given the chance to decide.

What was so good about being a maid? If she took a step too quickly, she would flash to her waist.

Gu Chaoyan, on the other hand, was getting impatient. She said straightforwardly, “Sect Leader, I got it. Nothing will go wrong.”

“Nothing will go wrong? There are many things that can go wrong with a person like you,” the Sect Leader of Xing Sect retorted bluntly.

Gu Chaoyan rolled her eyes. “Then why do you want me to be a maid in the Heaven Emperor’s Palace? Aren’t you worried that something might happen to me? I think that I should continue to take care of the clothes and find someone else to do the maid’s work.”

She didn’t want to go anyway.

The Sect Leader of Xing Sect was stunned.

This task was personally arranged by the Celestial Thearch, and it wasn’t him. He definitely wouldn’t be willing.

However, he definitely couldn’t say it directly.

It could only be him.

However, she was unwilling? That was impossible!

The Sect Leader of Xing Sect could no longer maintain composure. “This is non-negotiable. You are you,” he asserted firmly. “Rest well; I’ll escort you to the celestial court tomorrow.”

With these words, he swiftly departed, anxious that Gu Chaoyan might backtrack on the agreement and create complications.

Initially elated, Xiaoyun’s mood took a sharp downturn. The realization that there was no escaping this fate dampened her spirits.

Frustration prevented her from confronting the Sect Leader, so she directed her glare at Gu Chaoyan. “I don’t know what the Sect Leader sees in you, but relying on unconventional methods won’t get you far in the Sky Sect. Enjoy your pride now, but it won’t last. Sooner or later, you’ll stumble and face the consequences,” she warned with a venomous tone.

“…”

“I’m waiting to see that day,” Xiaoyun said with displeasure.

Gu Chaoyan was feeling helpless.

She knew this too.

However, she did not take the unorthodox path.

She was also inexplicably confused, okay?

Don’t think that just because she was willing, she wasn’t willing, okay?

Xiaoyun left fiercely.

Gu Chaoyan had no choice but to leave.

Lin Xue was still very happy when she told her the news, but Gu Chaoyan did not smile at all.

She felt that things were very strange, but she didn’t know why.

Feeling the weight of numerous uncertainties, Gu Chaoyan experienced a heightened sense of pressure. She couldn’t afford to let her guard down, fully aware of the challenges awaiting her. Employment in the Heaven Emperor’s palace was no laughing matter.

The night dragged on, with Gu Chaoyan foregoing sleep entirely.

With the arrival of dawn, she sought out the Sect Leader of Xing Sect.

However, the Sect Leader remained unusually silent that day, offering no further words.
