Chapter 2701: Sky Sect 27
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Chaoyan gazed at Lin Xue, contemplating the words Xiaoyun had uttered. It was evident that Xiaoyun spoke out of discontent, driven by her own opinions. However, Gu Chaoyan found a certain logic in what she had said.
As Xiaoyun pointed out, managing the attire of the Heaven Emperor was no small feat. The task required precision, and only those who successfully passed the assessment in the Xing Sect were deemed qualified.
Yet, Gu Chaoyan, who had barely spent a few days in the Xing Sect, suddenly found herself thrust into the responsibility of overseeing the Heaven Emperor’s clothing. It seemed inevitable that mistakes would occur, and once they did, the consequences would be irreversible. She would undoubtedly have to bear the brunt of her own missteps.
Adding to the complexity, the sect master of Xing Sect harbored a strong dislike towards her, even going so far as to wish for her removal from the sect.
Considering all these factors, a thought crossed Gu Chaoyan’s mind—did the Sect Leader of Xing Sect intentionally orchestrate this situation?
“It seems like the Sect Leader wants to put the Heaven Emperor’s clothing in my hands, knowing that any misstep could lead to my punishment and expulsion from the sect,” Gu Chaoyan speculated.
Lin Xue attempted to offer words of comfort but found herself at a loss, realizing there was little she could dispute. Their situation had reached a point where they were pushed to the back of the mountain, with little room for anything else.
It seemed natural for the Sect Leader of Xing Sect to want them to leave.
Therefore, her guess was very likely to be like this.
Although it was a little dangerous.
But Lin Xue felt that it was a good thing.
“Chaoyan, have you considered how challenging it would be for us to encounter the Heaven Emperor without this opening? The current situation may be perilous, but the prospects of wealth and prestige are within reach. Perhaps, this is our moment,” Lin Xue expressed, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
Despite spending numerous years in the Xing Sect, Lin Xue had never stumbled upon such a promising opportunity. What more could one ask for?
Gu Chaoyan nodded in agreement.
Lin Xue’s perspective struck a chord with her.
Her purpose in joining the Sky Sect differed from that of others. She aspired to meet the Heaven Emperor and pose some pressing questions to him.
If she could seize this chance to encounter the Heaven Emperor and address her inquiries, whether her future lay in the Sky Sect became inconsequential. Her sole focus was gaining the knowledge she sought.
Eagerly, she hoped for the opportunity to arise sooner rather than later.
Gu Chaoyan reflected inwardly, contemplating her own thoughts.
“What about you? Whose presence are you eager to secure?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.
“A person in the clouds. I still don’t know who he is, but after you go, I will have a chance to find him,” Lin Xue said with a smile.
In her eyes was the light of hope.
Gu Chaoyan nodded, wondering how she could help Lin Xue.
When she returned to the bed, Gu Chaoyan was still thinking about what to do next.
The following morning…
Gu Chaoyan did not dare to delay any further.
She went straight to the Sect Leader of Xing Sect and waited to start her new mission.
The Sect Leader of Xing Sect dared not linger; his authority did not afford him such liberties.
Unaware of Gu Chaoyan’s perception of his intentions, the Sect Leader found himself grappling with his own troubles.
Why had the Heaven Emperor chosen Gu Chaoyan? If she excelled in her duties, it could potentially propel her beyond the standing of the Sect Leader himself. The prospect of being surpassed by someone like her left the Sect Leader deeply unsettled.
He regarded Gu Chaoyan with a complex expression.
“Let me guide you through the process of familiarizing yourself with the care of the Heaven Emperor’s garments first. We’ll proceed to the celestial realms later,” he stated, his tone carrying a mixture of obligation and reluctance.
