The humble abode he had initially prepared for her remained uninhabited. Unable to find rest there, she sought solace in his company.

Ever since she fell victim to poisoning, she found herself often seeking refuge in his presence.

During this period, the Sky Sect’s celestial physician attended to her needs.

For now, staying with him seemed the best option.

He gently laid her on the bed, a soft smile gracing his lips as he observed her peaceful slumber.

The burden of her lost memories seemed to ease her troubled mind.

In the past, whether awake or asleep, his countenance bore a perpetual furrowed brow, an air of defiance and vigilance. With her memory lost, those feelings of unease and watchfulness dissipated.

He pondered whether this change was for better or worse.

The celestial physician had mentioned her body’s natural ability to purge the poison. However, the potency of this particular toxin left remnants in her brain, hindering her memory. As the poison slowly dissipated, her recollections would likely return.

The period of memory loss would be fleeting.

Thus, the Heaven Emperor harbored little concern.

For now, her happiness during this interlude mattered most.

When her memories resurfaced, he’d offer answers if she sought them.

In the Heavenly Palace, one slumbered peacefully while the other kept watch.

Meanwhile, Huailan had reached the Xing Sect.

The Heaven Emperor, preferring not to encounter the Sect Leader personally, arranged for her to handle the matter.

Upon seeing her, the Sect Leader of Xing Sect greeted her with utmost courtesy.

Huailan wasted no time, promptly issuing instructions to the Sect Leader of Xing Sect, “Prepare two individuals to accompany Gu Chaoyan to the Heavenly Palace as per the Heaven Emperor’s request.”

“Two? Why the sudden need for additional personnel?” The Sect Leader of Xing Sect voiced his surprise.

Huailan’s expression soured.

No wonder the Heaven Emperor held such disdain for this individual.

Truly lacking in intelligence.

Thankfully, the Heaven Emperor wasn’t known for his leniency. Otherwise, the Xing Sect’s leader would have been replaced long ago.

“It’s imperative to select individuals familiar with Gu Chaoyan, those who have had the most interactions with her,” Huailan dismissed the Sect Leader’s query.

Though the Heaven Emperor hadn’t provided explicit instructions, those chosen to serve in the Heavenly Palace were known for their astuteness. With just a single directive from the Heaven Emperor, they were expected to proceed efficiently.

The Sect Leader found himself in a quandary.

What significance lay in familiarity?

“She’s only acquainted with one person. Lin Xue, albeit simple-minded. Her inclusion in the retinue could pose…” The Sect Leader hesitated, seeking clarification.

“Sect Leader, your role is to obey the Heaven Emperor’s commands, not question them,” Huailan retorted, her frustration palpable.

Interacting with such an individual proved exasperating.

Among the Sky Sect, intellect was prized, ensuring tasks unfolded seamlessly. How could they anticipate such incompetence?

“Yes, understood,” the Sect Leader hastily acquiesced, wary of any delay.

With that, Huailan departed without further ado.

In haste, she set about arranging for Lin Xue’s inclusion. Additionally, there was another matter to attend to—Xiaoyun.

Both tasks were swiftly accomplished.

Xiaoyun required no discussion.

Lin Xue, however, proved more troublesome. He summoned her, subjecting her to two hours of relentless admonishment before releasing her.

The pair could proceed directly to the Heavenly Palace without the Sect Leader of Xing Sect’s escort. The Celestial Thearch harbored disdain for the Sect Leader, making their presence unnecessary.

Given Xiaoyun and Lin Xue’s strained relationship, silence reigned between them as they made their way.
