Chapter 2682: Sky Sect 8
Typically, individuals who sought refuge in the Xing Sect were those not held in high regard by other sects. The rest were generally acceptable. Some might carry certain motives from their previous sects, and recognizing this, the Sect Leader of Xing Sect opted to let them pursue other opportunities. They moved on to different sects, and perhaps those sects found value in having them.
However…
She was different.
She was the one that Sect Leader of Xing Sect did not want, let alone the other sects.
Wanting to go to other sects was simply fantasize.
This female official looked at her as if she was looking at a fool.
Gu Chaoyan looked a bit embarrassed. She did not seem to be lying, because no one wanted her, so she came to the Xing Sect.
Gu Chaoyan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
It seemed that she could only stay here.
“Our Sect Leader of Xing Sect doesn’t want it either. We really have no choice but to accept it, so don’t be so picky,” the female official continued to say impolitely.
Gu Chaoyan was caught between laughter and tears, but now she felt very awkward.
Even the Sect Leader of Xing Sect did not want her.
How bad was she?
Gu Chaoyan did not know what to say.
Without allowing Gu Chaoyan a chance to respond, the female official pressed on, stating, “Now that you’ve arrived at the Xing Sect, there’s no turning back. Bringing the Guidance Scroll to the Sky Sect implies your willingness to become a part of it. In these circumstances, your only option is to remain in the Sky Sect. You don’t have a choice.”
“…”
“Just work in the Xing Sect obediently. Perhaps you’ll have a chance to go to other sects in the future.”
She said this to almost everyone who came to Xing Sect.
However, this action was merely a means to settle these individuals.
In reality, very few who sought refuge in the Xing Sect had aspirations to join other sects. Only those with exceptional skills stood a chance.
While others might still harbor hope, the female official recognized that Gu Chaoyan’s prospects were slim. Despite this realization, she kept her thoughts unspoken, opting instead to stabilize Gu Chaoyan and encourage her to contribute effectively to the Xing Sect. The absence of mishaps was already considered a positive outcome, and the female official had tempered her expectations accordingly.
Gu Chaoyan nodded in apparent acceptance of her fate.
The female official felt a sense of relief and departed peacefully.
Sighing, Gu Chaoyan laid down on her bed.
How unfortunate.
In the second world, she had commanded as the formidable Clan Leader of the Demon Clan. Even if she didn’t hold the highest position, her influence was undeniable.
Upon arriving in this new place, she never anticipated not only facing disdain in various forms but also being assigned menial tasks like laundry and cooking.
If the First Elder and others from her previous world were aware of this, their disapproval would undoubtedly be palpable.
Yet, she found herself with no alternative but to acquiesce.
Anticipating her journey to the Sky Sect, where she would be in closer proximity to the Celestial Thearch, gave her a glimmer of hope. She believed things would improve, and the chance to meet him seemed more plausible.
This perspective brought a slight sense of comfort to Gu Chaoyan.
Waiting for tomorrow.
Early in the morning.
Guided by the female official, she found herself at the Xing Sect’s workplace, which was primarily divided into three distinct areas.
One section served as a training ground for maidservants, providing an opportunity for them to later attend to influential figures from various sects. However, those who could undergo such nurturing were typically handpicked and favored by the Sect Leader, with arrangements made soon after their sect entry.
Regrettably, Gu Chaoyan did not seem to be among those fortunate individuals chosen for maid service, evident from her assignment to cleaning duties.
Two areas still remained.
One was dedicated to culinary responsibilities.
The other was precisely where Gu Chaoyan found herself, immersed in the cleaning tasks.
