Chapter 2706: Sky Sect 32

Editor: Henyee Translations

The Sect Leader of Xing Sect was completely stunned by the Heaven Emperor’s words.

He instructed Xiaoyun to continue managing the Heaven Emperor’s wardrobe, a duty originally designated for Gu Chaoyan. However, Gu Chaoyan had been appointed by the Heaven Emperor himself for this task.

The Sect Leader of Xing Sect found himself bewildered by the sudden turn of events. Puzzled, he looked at the Heaven Emperor and questioned, “What should we do with Gu Chaoyan? Should we send her back to the back mountain?”

With no alternative plan in mind, the Sect Leader couldn’t fathom any other resolution. Gu Chaoyan had not committed any wrongdoing; it was Xiaoyun’s desire to take on the responsibility. Consequently, if Xiaoyun were to assume the role, Gu Chaoyan would have no place within the Xing Sect. The only plausible option seemed to be sending her back to the back mountain.

The Heaven Emperor, incensed by the Sect Leader’s apparent lack of understanding, cast a cold gaze. He was profoundly displeased.

To the Heaven Emperor, it seemed unfathomable that Gu Chaoyan would be relegated to the back of the mountain. He couldn’t comprehend the Sect Leader’s decision.

Expressing his frustration, the Heaven Emperor stopped just short of outright admonishing the Sect Leader. Instead, he commanded, “Arrange for her to serve as a maid in my palace.”

“Huh?” The Sect Leader of Xing Sect was taken aback.

Assign Gu Chaoyan to the Heaven Emperor Palace?

Concerned about her recent performance and fearing potential issues, the Sect Leader hesitated. “But she’s only been handling the clothes for a short time, and her performance isn’t stellar. Directly placing her in your palace might not be suitable. It could lead to complications, and I worry she might cause trouble!”

Since ancient times, there had never been such a precedent.

Those who went to the Heaven Emperor’s place as maidservants had to go through countless trials and tribulations before they could be arranged there.

There was no such thing. She had only entered the sect for a short period of time and had caused quite a bit of trouble. She hadn’t even done much work before she was sent directly to the Heaven Emperor.

He was worried, really worried.

He wanted to stop that.

The Heaven Emperor frowned. “Is the Sky Sect yours or mine?”

The Sect Leader of Xing Sect was shocked and hurriedly replied, “It’s yours, Heaven Emperor.”

The Heaven Emperor’s fury escalated as he retorted, “Then why are you spouting so much nonsense? Are my words worthless?”

The Sect Leader of Xing Sect, cautious not to offend his superior, quickly denied any disregard for the Heaven Emperor’s words. “No,” he stammered, “I just don’t think there’s any precedent for this. I’m concerned that she won’t excel in the role and might cause trouble for you, Heaven Emperor.”

The Sect Leader’s thoughts were straightforward, but the Heaven Emperor was unswayed by them. In his eyes, only his perspective held weight. Responding brusquely, he declared, “I’ll arrange it now.”

Only then did the Heaven Emperor’s anger begin to dissipate. Waving his hand dismissively, he signaled for the Sect Leader to leave, expressing a clear desire to end the conversation.

Once the Sect Leader of Xing Sect exited, the Heaven Emperor felt a slight relief. He harbored a deep dislike for the Sect Leader, finding fault in his approach to handling matters and interactions with others.

But…

Even if he didn’t like it, it was fine.

He was indeed suitable to be the Sect Leader of Xing Sect.

He was very honest. He did what he had to do and followed the rules. That was why nothing went wrong.

Although they were just some people in charge of miscellaneous matters, if they were sneaky, they might cause trouble.

Therefore…

No matter how angry he was, he had never considered really replacing this Sect Leader of Xing Sect.

As he thought about this…

The Heaven Emperor’s mood improved significantly.

Another thing that made him happy was Gu Chaoyan’s matter.

When he became a maid in the palace in the future, he would be able to see her with his own eyes.

It was much better than sneaking around now.

But…

She had met Heaven before.

How to deal with this matter was a problem.
