Chapter 2700: Sky Sect 26

Editor: Henyee Translations

Even if it was for his own sake, he had to maintain this forced smile.

Upon Gu Chaoyan and Lin Xue’s entrance, they witnessed the Sect Leader of Xing Sect wearing a perplexed grin.

This Sect Leader harbored a strong disdain for them. His ideal scenario would be to expel them from the sect and ensure they were never within his sight. Today, his behavior was highly unusual—he was smiling at them. It seemed abnormal, leaving them puzzled about what could be wrong with him.

Gu Chaoyan and Lin Xue refrained from laughter. Instead, they cast cold gazes at the Sect Leader of Xing Sect, anticipating his revelation.

The Sect Leader of Xing Sect continued to smile awkwardly.

He addressed them, “I asked you to come because I have something to arrange for you.”

Gu Chaoyan and Lin Xue exchanged glances before directing confused looks at the Sect Leader of Xing Sect.

“Xiaoyun, who used to manage the Heaven Emperor’s attire, has been appointed as the Chief Female Official of the Xing Sect, overseeing all female officers in the sect. This leaves the position of overseeing the Heaven Emperor’s attire vacant. Gu Chaoyan, you will assume this role and be in charge of the Heaven Emperor’s clothing from now on.”

“…”

“And Lin Xue, you will assist Gu Chaoyan with the affairs of the Xing Sect on a daily basis while dedicating your remaining time to cultivation. I will find a suitable position for you soon.”

“…”

“Come to me early tomorrow, Gu Chaoyan, and I will teach you what to do.”

“…”

“Let’s head down now,” the Sect Leader of Xing Sect maintained a smile on his face, although his mood was still sour. He couldn’t fathom why the Heaven Emperor would favor such an individual and replace Xiaoyun from her position. It seemed utterly unreasonable to him, but he had no choice. Complying with the Heaven Emperor’s arrangements was non-negotiable.

Despite completing what was required, he harbored a strong dislike for these two and had no desire to keep them in his sight any longer.

Gu Chaoyan nodded, and both she and Lin Xue left.

Even as the two departed, an air of bewilderment lingered.

Had the Sect Leader of Xing Sect suddenly lost his discernment?

How could he entrust them with such a crucial responsibility?

The two returned inexplicably, and just as they were about to enter the house, they heard someone mockingly remark from the side, “Who stole my position back then? Turns out, it was you two all along?”

“…”

“You two fools. I doubt you have the lifespan to manage such a role. What status do the celestial realms hold? There, any error is met with severe consequences. Yet, you dare to take on such a task.” Xiaoyun sneered with a mocking expression.

Gu Chaoyan frowned.

The Sect Leader was the one who gave them the job, not they who asked for that.

Moreover, they had just found out about it and were just feeling puzzled when they were scolded.

Gu Chaoyan couldn’t endure it any longer. She was about to set things straight.

Lin Xue, however, held her back, subtly shaking her head to convey that there was no need for confrontation.

Reluctantly, Gu Chaoyan halted and returned home with Lin Xue.

Having just accepted the responsibility, engaging in an argument with Xiaoyun seemed unnecessary.

If they excelled in their new roles, wouldn’t Xiaoyun have reason to fear them in the future?

No need to spar at this moment.

Lin Xue maintained an optimistic outlook, but Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but harbor suspicions.

“What do you think the Sect Leader of Xing Sect is implying?”
