Chapter 2727: Amnesia 5
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Chaoyan’s eyes held a resolute gaze, rejecting the notion that this was her designated sleeping quarters.
Xiaoyun’s brow furrowed in confusion. The servant had informed her that this was where Gu Chaoyan would reside in the future, not here or there.
Had she somehow become daft after her memory loss?
Xiaoyun firmly guided her back. “This is it. Rest well and don’t cause any trouble.”
Deep within Xiaoyun’s subconscious, despite her current role as Gu Chaoyan’s attendant, they had both originated from the Xing Sect. In her mind, Gu Chaoyan wasn’t even superior to her in the sect.
So, how could she genuinely regard her as her superior? She merely viewed caring for her as a duty.
Gu Chaoyan winced in discomfort.
Unable to tolerate it any longer, Lin Xue intervened. She shoved Xiaoyun aside and focused on Gu Chaoyan. “Chaoyan, where are you headed?”
Gu Chaoyan solemnly gestured towards the chambers of the Heavenly Emperor.
Lin Xue quickly grasped that she intended to return to her previous resting place.
In Lin Xue’s reasoning, if Gu Chaoyan had been there before, why couldn’t she go there again? Besides, since the Heavenly Emperor hadn’t forbidden her from staying in the celestial palace, there shouldn’t be any issue.
If she wished to go, then let her.
Xiaoyun promptly intervened, halting their movements. “What do you think you’re doing? Stay here. This is where the Heavenly Emperor resides.”
Even if she understood that Gu Chaoyan was allowed to go there, Xiaoyun would not permit it.
End of scene.
So, she was intent on heading to the Heavenly Emperor’s chambers? If she made a habit of staying there, what if the Heavenly Emperor took a liking to her?
What did that have to do with anyone else?
He had worked hard to gain access to the Heavenly Emperor’s palace, yet he hadn’t even caught the Celestial Thearch’s attention. How could he allow someone else to surpass him?
Of course, Xiaoyun was not inclined to let that happen. That’s why she exerted every effort to hinder them.
Lin Xue’s expression soured. “Xiaoyun, our duty is to serve her. We don’t have the authority to dictate her actions. Just follow her lead. Why are you trying to control Master’s decisions?”
“…”
“If you persist in this behavior, don’t blame me for reporting it.”
“…”
“Don’t forget what Huailan warned you about.”
With Lin Xue’s warning, Xiaoyun dared not protest further.
Indeed, the elderly female official from the Heavenly Palace had emphasized that their role was to maintain the household and serve their master. They had no authority.
Despite feeling somewhat disadvantaged, Xiaoyun reluctantly spoke, “If you let her have her way, trouble will arise sooner or later. This is the Heavenly Palace, not just any place. Be cautious not to offend the Heavenly Emperor.”
Lin Xue brushed off her concern.
If the Heavenly Emperor wasn’t pleased, Gu Chaoyan wouldn’t have the opportunity to remain here, regardless of her actions.
Now, she just wouldn’t.
She took Gu Chaoyan with her.
Xiaoyun followed up immediately.
Since she couldn’t stop him, she had to go. In any case, she couldn’t let go of any opportunity to let the Heaven Emperor see her!
Xiaoyun followed him excitedly.
When Gu Chaoyan arrived with her men, no one dared to stop her.
He permitted her entry.
Gu Chaoyan located the bed and promptly drifted off to sleep, paying no mind to Lin Xue and Xiaoyun.
Similarly, he quickly succumbed to slumber.
Lin Xue and Xiaoyun exchanged worried glances.
After contemplating for a moment, Lin Xue opted to remain stationed nearby.
Meanwhile, Xiaoyun also lingered, though her gaze flitted nervously in all directions.
With the Heavenly Emperor absent, the area remained deserted and void of occupants.
Upon the eventual arrival of the Heavenly Emperor, they had been waiting for quite some time.
The Heavenly Emperor was surprised. “Why is she here?”
Xiaoyun hastened to explain, “I tried my best to dissuade her, but she was adamant about sleeping here.”
