Chapter 2703: Sky Sect 29

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Chaoyan was feeling very melancholic, because she found that this task was very difficult and she could not see the Heaven Emperor at all. She had no idea that a pair of eyes were staring at her from a distance.

These eyes were the Heaven Emperor’s eyes.

There was a hint of excitement on his face, but his eyes were filled with anticipation.

In the future, after she was in charge of this task, he would be able to see her every day. Moreover, his clothes would be completely washed by her.

In the past, he had never dared to think about such a thing.

He was proud of Yan Su, even in front of the Heaven Emperor. There had never been a Heaven Emperor like him in her world. All she had was to defeat him.

Now, it was probably what he really wanted in the past.

Now, it was so easy for her to appear in front of him.

As Gu Chaoyan turned around, a subconscious inkling told her that someone had been observing her.

The Heaven Emperor swiftly averted his gaze upon realizing he had been caught.

Carefully scanning her surroundings, Gu Chaoyan found no onlookers. In the realm of clouds, solitude prevailed, leaving her puzzled by her own suspicions. Why would anyone be scrutinizing her in this secluded space?

Observing her surveying the area, the Sect Leader of Xing Sect reproached, “Focus on your task here; there’s no need to wander with your eyes. Complete your duty and leave. This is the clouds, not a place for idle curiosity.”

Though dissatisfied, Gu Chaoyan withheld her words. As the Sect Leader, she held a subordinate role, and in this realm, she was bound to follow the orders of others, unlike in the Demon Clan where she enjoyed a different status.

Could she still talk back?

She left with a helpless expression.

Behind them, the Heaven Emperor seethed with anger at the unfolding scene.

The Sect Leader of Xing Sect, normally beyond reproach, found himself the target of the Heaven Emperor’s uncharacteristic outburst.

It appeared that the Sect Leader had been enjoying a bit too much comfort lately, a notion the Heaven Emperor vowed to address. Internalizing his discontent, he resolved to settle scores with the Sect Leader of Xing Sect.

Unaware of the brewing storm, the Sect Leader continued his scolding of Gu Chaoyan, descending the mountain with a palpable fear that her actions might bring trouble upon him.

Reluctantly, Gu Chaoyan acquiesced to the situation.

The Heaven Emperor, now questioning his decision to appoint the Sect Leader, lamented the lack of foresight. The Sect Leader’s apparent incompetence left the Heaven Emperor regretting his choice, wondering how someone so ill-equipped could hold the position of Sect Leader.

Reflecting on the situation, the Heaven Emperor contemplated how, if not for his age and inactivity, he wouldn’t have bestowed the position upon such an inept leader.

Gu Chaoyan found herself handpicked for this task by the Heaven Emperor, raising suspicions about potential ulterior motives owing to their acquaintance.

While other sect masters might discreetly handle such matters, the Sect Leader of Xing Sect seemed oblivious to this subtlety. His constant worry hinted at a fear that Gu Chaoyan might inadvertently cause trouble for him.

In the vast expanse of the Sky Sect, the Sect Leader of Xing Sect appeared to be the least astute, a realization that led to self-contempt for his disdain towards others’ perceived stupidity.

The Heaven Emperor, vexed by these thoughts, resolved to cease dwelling on the matter.

The ensuing days passed quietly, with the Heaven Emperor avoiding encounters with the Sect Leader of Xing Sect. Gu Chaoyan, however, became a constant presence, improving the Heaven Emperor’s mood.

Yet, from Gu Chaoyan’s perspective, the job was isolating. A solitary endeavor, she seldom encountered others even when navigating the celestial realms.

However…
