Chapter 2711: Sky Sect 38
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Chaoyan lingered on the sidelines for what felt like an eternity, noticing that the Heaven Emperor had already succumbed to sleep with no sign of stirring. Growing weary of her vigil, she finally settled onto a nearby stool within the room, pouring herself a cup of tea to ease her fatigue. Surprisingly, the tea proved to be delightful, a rare treat in a world consumed by the pursuit of Spirit Stones, Dharma artifacts, leaving little room for such simple pleasures.
Despite his slumber, the Heaven Emperor’s meticulous attention to detail was evident even in these seemingly insignificant matters, with the aroma of the tea filling the air.
With her duties to the Heaven Emperor temporarily on hold and unable to pursue her cultivation in this idle moment, Gu Chaoyan sought solace in a book, quietly immersing herself in its pages.
Hours passed by uneventfully until the tranquility was shattered by the arrival of the elderly attendant.
Startled, the old woman fixed Gu Chaoyan with a mix of apprehension and indignation, her voice trembling as she uttered, “How dare you!”
“…”
“You’re nothing but a mere maid! How dare you? How dare you stoop to such disgraceful behavior!”
For such an egregious transgression, immediate expulsion from the Sky Sect following severe punishment would be considered lenient.
But that wasn’t the end of it.
Simultaneously, the Heaven Emperor stirred from his slumber. Upon opening his eyes, his first mand, delivered with a menacing scowl, was a resounding, “Leave at once!”
Witnessing the Heaven Emperor’s fury, the elderly attendant’s concern grew palpable. Fixing a glare upon Gu Chaoyan, she thundered, “Begone from this place!”
Though Gu Chaoyan was the one at fault, as the overseer of the Heavenly Palace, any misstep by her subordinates would inevitably reflect poorly upon her. Thus, she now resembled a startled bird, fearful of the repercussions of any further misfortune.
At this moment, he was trying his best to save her.
Gu Chaoyan was about to leave.
She did not know why it had suddenly bee like this.
A displeased expression appeared on the Heaven Emperor’s face. “I’m telling you to scram.”
The old female official didn’t react at first, but when she did, she was stunned. Then, she turned to look at the Heaven Emperor.
“Hurry up and scram.” The Heaven Emperor was reborn.
The old female official was surprised.
Why was he telling her to get out?
She did not dare to question him and quickly went out, afraid that she would not be able to bear the consequences if she was late.
Seeing that the old lady had left, Gu Chaoyan did not dare to stay any longer, so she followed her out.
The Heaven Emperor frowned again. He didn’t ask her to leave, so why was she running?
“You e back.”
Gu Chaoyan was startled. She looked around and confirmed that no one else was there. Then she went back and said timidly, “Heaven Emperor, what can I do for you?”
The Heaven Emperor surveyed the situation.
She found herself rather content with the current situation.
Passing her days with books and tea was rather agreeable.
Despite her outward appearance of apprehension, it seemed to be an inherent trait, ingrained in her being. Subconsciously, she found solace and ease in her surroundings, a fact not lost on the Heaven Emperor, who seemed to appreciate this kind of tranquility.
With a nod of approval, he spoke, “Continue as you wish. In this palace, you are free to pursue your own interests. Whether it be drinking tea or delving into books, it is permitted.”
Gu Chaoyan was taken aback but quickly expressed her gratitude. “Thank you, Heaven Emperor.”
Satisfied, the Heaven Emperor nodded in acknowledgment.
As Gu Chaoyan observed him, now that the incident had passed, a realization dawned upon her.
