Chapter 2710: Sky Sect 37
Editor: Henyee Translations
She opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar environment before her.
Although this house was not big, she lived here alone, so the environment was not bad.
In Lin Xue’s absence, Gu Chaoyan found it difficult to sleep well. A persistent feeling of someone’s presence lingered in the room, even though the likelihood of an actual intruder was slim. Unfazed, she dismissed it, but a complex unease settled within her.
After mustering herself, Gu Chaoyan prepared for her maid duties and ventured out, marking the beginning of her encounters with the Heaven Emperor.
Nervousness gripped her as she contemplated the impending meeting. Questions loomed in her mind, and the uncertainty only intensified her unease.
Entering the Heaven Emperor’s Palace with lowered eyes, Gu Chaoyan was met with a hushed instruction from the maid who had previously guided her. “Why are you so late? Go serve the Heaven Emperor his meal.”
She offered a shy smile, aware that she wasn’t tardy; in fact, she had followed the time set by her instructor. Unbeknownst to her, the Heaven Emperor had spent the night in her room, prompting him to rise early for breakfast.
That was why the situation was like this.
Of course, the Heaven Emperor wouldn’t know such details.
Gu Chaoyan looked around. Apart from the maid, there was no one else in the court. The Heaven Emperor was sitting there alone, waiting for someone to serve him.
Gu Chaoyan got bolder and sized up the Heaven Emperor.
Gu Chaoyan was slightly disappointed when she saw the Heaven Emperor. She had wanted to see if the Heaven Emperor looked the same as Huaijin, but the Heaven Emperor was wearing a silver mask, so she could not see his real face.
He sat upright. It was unknown if there was any expression on his face, but he really did not move.
Gu Chaoyan found him very familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
Gu Chaoyan’s task was very simple.
She was responsible for putting whatever the Heaven Emperor wanted into his bowl.
Still.
Gu Chaoyan had no idea what the Heaven Emperor liked.
She chose whatever she could see.
The Heaven Emperor wasn’t picky, and he ate just like that.
He ate very slowly, very slowly.
Gu Chaoyan, on the other hand, stood there quietly with other maids supervising her. Gu Chaoyan did not dare to do anything reckless.
For some reason, the Heaven Emperor took two hours to finish his breakfast.
Gu Chaoyan felt very tired. This job was even more tiring than washing clothes.
Two hours later, the Heaven Emperor slowly rose to his feet.
He didn’t eat much. He just ate slowly.
People who cultivated needed very little food.
Gu Chaoyan heaved a long sigh.
The Heaven Emperor didn’t say anything, but the maid spoke. “The Heaven Emperor needs to sleep for a while. Stay by his side and watch over him. Remember not to let anyone disturb him.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded.
Then she started to drive the wagon to that direction.
The Heaven Emperor did not say anything, but lay down to rest. Gu Chaoyan had to wait on him.
There was no specific need for her to do anything. She just waited at the side.
Gu Chaoyan looked at the mask that he still had not taken off. The Celestial Thearch was a very cold man. He had not said a word for so long.
She wondered when she would have the chance to talk to him, so she could ask him about Huaijin.
Meanwhile, the Heaven Emperor had already fallen asleep.
