Chapter 2731: Flower Sect 2
Editor: Henyee Translations
The Heaven Emperor’s face twitched.
Thinking back to the past, when that person came to Flower Sect, it was as if she had come to her own backyard. She was so arrogant that people wanted to beat her up.
But now…
This person was afraid after being looked at twice.
The Heaven Emperor found this both infuriating and funny.
After all, the difference between before and after was too great.
However, when he sensed the person hiding behind him, the Heaven Emperor felt a surge of affection towards her.
He had always harbored tender feelings for her, contingent on whether she reciprocated them.
He gently took her hand. “Let’s depart. Fear not, you’re under the protection of my Sky Sect. No harm will befall you. If you find this bustling atmosphere discomforting, I’ll escort you to the tranquility of the Flower Sect’s abode.”
The Heaven Emperor spoke with reassurance.
Yet, as they conversed, Gu Chaoyan’s fear dissipated, replaced by a curious and delighted demeanor as she surveyed her surroundings.
It was evident that the Flower Sect, with its stark contrast to the austere Sky Sect, captivated her.
The Sky Sect was known for its solemnity, with scarce adornment of flowers.
In contrast, the Flower Sect exuded a different aura. Rare blooms adorned every corner, captivating the eye.
Visitors to the Flower Sect adhered to its rules, refraining from heedlessly plucking the flowers.
Part of this restraint stemmed from a sense of awe; these blossoms were captivating, yet potentially treacherous.
In the Flower Sect, anyone was eligible to pluck the flowers, as clearly stipulated in the documents, except for the Phoenix Flower, which bloomed only once every thousand years.
However, plucking the Phoenix Flower was not an opportunity open to all.
The majority of these rare blooms were harvested by descendants of the Flower Sect, with the plucker ascending to the position of Sect Leader.
This was the method by which the Flower Sect determined its leadership.
Yet, accidents were not uncommon. A millennium ago, an audacious woman plucked the flower, resulting in an extended tenure for the incumbent Sect Leader.
This time around, despite another potential mishap, the Flower Sect’s current leader spared no effort in extending an invitation to the Sky Sect’s Heaven Emperor.
After all, who wouldn’t desire a few extra years at the helm?
Upon the arrival of various sect members, discussions ensued among the leaders while others indulged in leisurely activities within the garden, where the Phoenix Flower resided.
The Heaven Emperor prepared to confer with the Flower Sect’s leader, while Gu Chaoyan eagerly ventured into the garden.
Slightly apprehensive, the Heaven Emperor contemplated arranging alternative accommodations should Gu Chaoyan feel unwell and wish to avoid interaction.
Before he could voice his concern, Gu Chaoyan grasped Lin Xue’s hand and bounded into the garden with excitement.
The Heaven Emperor’s expression twitched. What happened to her earlier apprehension?
Nonetheless, he hastened to catch up and inquired, “I’m about to discuss matters with the Flower Sect’s leader. What are your plans? Will you be staying here to play?”
Gu Chaoyan nodded earnestly, fully intending to revel in the garden’s delights.
With little choice, the Heaven Emperor departed, leaving Gu Chaoyan to her amusement.
However, he still addressed Huailan and the others with utmost seriousness, “Take good care of her and ensure her safety. Failure to do so will have dire consequences.”
“Yes,” the others replied promptly.
Knowing the Heaven Emperor’s reputation for keeping his word, they were naturally filled with trepidation.
The garden bustled with a plethora of flowers and people, some engaged in casual conversations while others mingled in social circles.
Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan immersed herself in studying the flowers, her expression earnest.
Unfamiliar faces surrounded her, and she remained oblivious to their identities.
Yet, many were aware of her association with the Heaven Emperor and couldn’t resist casting curious glances her way.
A few bold individuals approached, though they maintained a cautious distance, mindful of the formidable reputation accompanying the Heaven Emperor’s companion.
“Are you from the Sky Sect, brought here by the Heaven Emperor?” inquired a group of boys and girls, their tone frosty.
