Chapter 2723: Amnesia 1

Editor: Henyee Translations

In her opinion, it was not a big deal.

She was just a maid.

Despite the stringent screening process to enter the Heavenly Palace, the Xing Sect boasted a considerable number of followers. With the Sect Leader’s influence, arranging for more individuals to gain entry was a trivial matter.

While the maid had enjoyed the protection of the Heaven Emperor in life, her death left her without such safeguard.

Finding a place to bury her remained a simple task amidst the chaos.

As the daughter of the Leader Sect of One Sect, Qi Yue had long enjoyed unhindered access to the Heavenly Palace. Over the years, her audacity knew no bounds—poisoning a maid barely elicited more than a scolding.

Qi Yue’s brazen admission left two pairs of eyes fixed upon her: one belonging to the Heaven Emperor, and the other to Little Green.

Was this woman responsible for the poison afflicting its owner? Little Green contemplated administering its own form of justice, perhaps a venomous bite to teach her a lesson.

Yet, before it could act, the Heaven Emperor’s voice cut through the tension. “Since you’re the one who poisoned me, there’s still some tea left in that cup. Drink it. While I won’t hold you accountable for the sake of the Leader Sect of One Sect, you must still face the consequences of your actions. If you’re willing to subject my maid to your poison, be prepared to suffer the same fate.”

With that, he waved his hand and someone immediately went to carry it out.

Before Qi Yue could react, she was already scared to death.

That poison was a poison without any mercy. It would kill you if you drank it.

He let her drink it just like that?

She, Qi Yue, actually had to pay the same price for a cheap life?

That was impossible!

The Leader Sect of One Sect walked over.

For the sake of the Leader Sect of One Sect, the executioner did not attack directly. Instead, he waited.

“Father, save me. She’s just a maidservant. How can she be worthy of me paying the price?” Qi Yue said excitedly. She felt that this shouldn’t be the case.

The Leader Sect of One Sect looked at Qi Yue in disappointment.

He walked up to her and asked in disappointment, “Why are you disobedient?”

“…”

“What did I tell you yesterday? Why didn’t you listen to your father and stay grounded in the house? Don’t step into the Heavenly Palace again.”

“…”

“The Heaven Emperor is not someone you can control. Don’t you understand?”

“…”

“So what if you’re my daughter? In the eyes of justice, everyone is equal. You’re no different from anyone else—you’re accountable for your actions just like anyone else.” The Leader Sect of One Sect struggled to find the right words.

Even if the Heaven Emperor wasn’t the epitome of virtue, Qi Yue had openly poisoned his maidservant. Allowing her to escape unpunished would undermine the Heaven Emperor’s authority.

The Leader Sect of One Sect wished for Qi Yue’s demise, yet certain sentiments couldn’t be openly expressed.

Ultimately, he sighed in resignation.

“I’m only informing you of your impending fate so that you understand the consequences of your actions. If by some miracle you survive this poison, know that as your father, I will still care for you.” With that, the Leader Sect of One Sect stepped aside.

Qi Yue’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Her own father wouldn’t save her?

The notion of her imminent demise left Qi Yue, daughter of the Leader Sect of One Sect, in disbelief.

Could she, the daughter of such an esteemed figure, meet her end like this?

“Father! Brother Heaven Emperor!” she cried out in desperation, but her pleas fell on deaf ears as the executioner, unmoved by her protests, administered the poison without hesitation.

Turning to the Heaven Emperor, the Leader Sect of One Sect sought permission. “Heaven Emperor, may I take her away?”

With a nod, the Heaven Emperor granted his consent.
