Chapter 2726: Amnesia 4

As they ascended into the clouds, Huailan assumed responsibility for them.

“Did the Sect Leader of Xing Sect send you two? Since you’re here, I’ll acquaint you with the protocols. However, you may first meet the master,” Huailan informed them.

The Heaven Emperor hadn’t provided specific instructions regarding Lady Chaoyan’s identity.

Although referred to as Lady Chaoyan, they could simply address her as Master.

Lin Xue accepted this arrangement with gratitude, acknowledging Lady Chaoyan’s assistance in her presence here.

Xiaoyun, however, sensed a discrepancy but couldn’t pinpoint its nature. There was an unsettling feeling lingering within her.

Perhaps it was Huailan who referred to her as ‘Master,’ not the ‘Heaven Emperor.’

Still.

The Heavenly Palace only had one master.

Xiaoyun naturally took it as a meeting with the Heaven Emperor.

Huailan led the way. They did not see the Celestial Thearch, but Gu Chaoyan.

“Chaoyan.” Lin Xue winked at her.

Gu Chaoyan was confused and did not respond.

“You will serve Lady Chaoyan from now on.” Huailan said.

“Ah?” Even Lin Xue was surprised.

Chaoyan was now the master of the Heavenly Palace?

“Lady Chaoyan was poisoned by the daughter of the Leader Sect of One Sect, and she is currently recovering. Due to her memory loss, you will be serving her until her recollection returns,” Huailan clarified.

Once Lady Chaoyan regained her memory, she would assert her independence.

Lin Xue swiftly grasped the reason for her dismissal—Lady Chaoyan’s amnesia left her oblivious to their past interactions.

Xiaoyun’s fists clenched, teeth gritted in frustration. What horrendous luck! Barely a few days into her maid service, she found herself thrust into a position of servitude to a mistress recovering from poison-induced memory loss.

The excitement of entering the Heavenly Palace dissipated instantly, overshadowed by this unfortunate turn of events.

Anger surged within her.

How could she willingly serve under these circumstances?

“Master, please return to your quarters,” Huailan instructed, leading them to Lady Chaoyan’s designated room.

Lady Chaoyan observed silently, her eyes wide with curiosity and confusion, though she refrained from questioning their actions.

Huailan bowed and went out.

Gu Chaoyan kept looking around with her eyes wide open.

Feeling bored, she simply began to throw the things on the couch.

By the time the Heaven Emperor arrived, everything on the couch had been thrown away.

The Heaven Emperor’s face twitched, but he wasn’t angry.

“Are you bored?” he asked seriously.

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

The Heaven Emperor gave it some serious thought.

Two days later, there was a banquet at the Flower Sect.

Originally, he wanted to go himself.

But Chaoyan had lost her memory, so he could take her to have some fun.

The Flower Sect was quite fun. There were also many beautiful flowers.

“I will take you there in two days.” The Heaven Emperor said with a smile.

Gu Chaoyan nodded obediently.

On Huailan’s side, the house had already been set up.

As soon as she arrived, she saw the Heavenly Palace in a mess.

“She’s feeling restless, so she tossed something onto the couch to entertain herself. Arrange for it to be tidied,” the Heaven Emperor instructed.

Huailan noted that Lin Xue and Xiaoyun seemed fine; it was only the disarrayed pillow that warranted attention. It was a small but significant deviation from the norm.

Such moments of humanity were rare within the Heavenly Palace.

Lin Xue and the others escorted Lady Chaoyan to her quarters while the Heavenly Palace underwent cleaning.

“Chaoyan, do you truly not remember me?” Lin Xue couldn’t resist asking.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head.

“I am Lin Xue.”

Gu Chaoyan smiled faintly.

“I’m Xiaoyun.”

Gu Chaoyan met her gaze briefly before looking away.

“I’m retiring for the night,” Gu Chaoyan declared solemnly, rising to leave.

“Where are you going? Your sleeping quarters are right here!”

“It’s not that.”
