Chapter 2719: How Dare 3

Editor: Henyee Translations

Stupid!

He was simply stupid!

He was more than being stupid!

This time, the Heaven Emperor didn’t even want to talk to this idiot anymore. He directly kicked him out.

The humiliation felt by the Sect Leader of the Xing Sect was unprecedented. He grappled with confusion, unsure of the source of his disgrace. Was it the Celestial Thearch’s dissatisfaction with Gu Chaoyan, or was it directed at him personally?

In his bewildered state, he found himself at a loss.

Gu Chaoyan’s lack of intelligence seemed magnified by the circumstances, further confounding him.

Outside, Huailan felt compelled to offer a gentle reminder. “Sect Leader of the Xing Sect, this matter has surpassed your realm of influence. It exceeds the capabilities of your Xing Sect. Focus on managing the affairs within your own sect.”

Though Huailan held the position of a mere maid, within the Heavenly Palace, her authority was unquestionable.

Sect Leaders from lower-ranked sects, like the Xing Sect, were generally polite towards her, while those from higher-ranked sects also showed respect. However, in their eyes, she remained just a maid.

As the lowest-ranked sect in the Sky Sect, the Sect Leader of the Xing Sect displayed not only politeness but also a touch of deference towards the female attendants of the Heavenly Palace.

Grateful for Huailan’s reminder, the Sect Leader couldn’t shake his confusion. He wished to inquire further, but Huailan had already departed, leaving him to ponder his actions.

Had he overstepped his bounds by intervening?

And why had the Sect Leader’s daughter brought this matter to his attention?

He felt thoroughly perplexed.

Warnings circulated that meddling in Heavenly Palace affairs could lead to dire consequences, urging him to tread carefully.

Enlightened by the encounter, the Sect Leader retreated to his role as a humble follower.

After being reprimanded by the Celestial Thearch, the sect master hastily returned home to discipline Qi Yue. He forbade her from visiting the Heavenly Palace again and grounded her for a month.

“Father, why?” protested Qi Yue. “She’s just a lowly maid. What right does she have to dine with the Heaven Emperor?”

Feeling that the situation had become inappropriate, she felt compelled to intervene. Yet, somehow, she found herself bearing the blame.

The Leader Sect of One Sect gazed at his daughter, his expression fraught with complexity.

While his daughter might not have been an ideal match for the Heaven Emperor, if the latter was willing, he wouldn’t object.

In the past, the Heaven Emperor had never mentioned his daughter’s frequent visits, leading the Leader Sect to speculate about her significance to him. He entertained thoughts of her being special in the Heaven Emperor’s eyes, choosing to overlook her actions out of respect.

But today’s events had brought clarity.

It was all merely a matter of respect for him; his assumptions had been misplaced.

The Heaven Emperor’s anger towards Qi Yue wasn’t necessarily due to the maid. After all, what status did the Heaven Emperor hold? It was likely a matter of wounded dignity.

Regardless of the reason, Qi Yue needed to face reality and abandon her fantasies.

“Qi Yue, whatever happens in the Celestial Thearch’s palace, if he permits it, it’s acceptable. Neither you nor I have the authority to intervene. If you’re not summoned in the future, refrain from visiting the Heavenly Palace and stay at home. You’re not young anymore, and I’ll find a suitable match for you,” the Leader Sect of One Sect spoke with understanding.

“Why?!” protested Qi Yue, unable to comprehend her father’s decision.

She was just a maid—how could she be deemed more important than her?

The Leader Sect of One Sect instructed someone to keep an eye on her and ushered her away, a headache forming as he rubbed his temples.

Meanwhile, for Gu Chaoyan, it was a dreaded time of day.
