Chapter 2713: Serving the Heaven Emperor in a Bath 1

Then, she would not be able to go to the Chaotic Space to complete the mission.
However, her current level of cultivation left much to be desired. Within the Sky Sect, a misstep could lead to irreversible consequences, making a comeback unlikely.
Despite her newfound clarity of purpose, questions lingered in her mind.
Yet, her demeanor was not one to yield easily.
In the realm of cultivation, adaptation and continual advancement were imperative.
Lost in contemplation, Gu Chaoyan ventured into the Chaotic Space.
Perusing the mission book within its chaotic confines, she was met with the curious inquiry of the Chaotic Space itself, “Another mission, perhaps?”
Though unable to locate the Chaotic Space physically, Gu Chaoyan could sense its presence elsewhere within the realm.
With a dismissive eye-roll, she responded to the Chaotic Space.
Gu Chaoyan said calmly, “Are there any tasks that can improve your cultivation temporarily?”
The Chaotic Space did not respond for a long time.
When Gu Chaoyan was about to give up, it said, “Yes.”
“…”
“You should consider going to the mountains for training. While you may not see significant improvements, there could be valuable opportunities awaiting you. If you manage to capture some beasts or stumble upon fortuitous encounters, you’ll count yourself lucky,” the Chaotic Space conveyed eagerly to Gu Chaoyan.
Initially reluctant to venture outside the Sky Sect, Gu Chaoyan found herself with little choice but to acquiesce. The Chaotic Space’s enthusiasm couldn’t dispel her apprehension about the unknown dangers lurking within.
“I’ll give it a try,” Gu Chaoyan conceded, sensing an impending presence from outside the space. “Perhaps tomorrow.”
With that, she hastened her departure.
Meanwhile, the Chaotic Space beamed with satisfaction.
The newcomer was none other than the elderly attendant, Huailan.
Addressing Gu Chaoyan once more, her tone was noticeably softer, devoid of the previous harshness.
“In four hours’ time, you’re to report to the Heavenly Palace for duty,” Huailan instructed.
Typically, the Heaven Emperor would allocate tasks during his watch, allowing individuals to manage their own responsibilities at their leisure, often devoting spare moments to personal cultivation. However, the Heaven Emperor’s specific request for Gu Chaoyan’s attendance outside of her usual schedule was an unusual occurrence. Huailan had come to inform her, lest any misunderstanding arise.
“Okay.” Gu Chaoyan answered.
Fortunately, Gu Chaoyan hadn’t planned on training that day. If she decided to go, she reasoned, they were all residing under the same roof anyway.
Huailan refrained from scolding or issuing orders. The change in treatment from that person made her obligations clear; she need only concern herself with their needs.
With that understanding, Huailan swiftly departed.
Reflecting on the shift in dynamics, Gu Chaoyan gingerly touched her face. She wasn’t accustomed to this newfound freedom.
In the past, her duties came with a barrage of instructions. Now, with the sudden cessation of directives, she found herself at a loss.
Left with little else to occupy her time, she brewed a pot of tea and delved into her books once more.
When the appointed hour arrived, Gu Chaoyan made her way to the palace to attend to the Heaven Emperor.
Despite her burning curiosity, she dared not broach the subject with the aloof figure of the Heaven Emperor. The timing never seemed right, and her recent arrival at the Heavenly Palace left her uncertain of his receptiveness.
The last thing she needed was to incur his suspicion.
Upon arrival, she was guided to a different area. Drawing nearer, she realized it was the bathing chambers.
