Chapter 2678: Sky Sect 4

However, here, there seemed to be no way to ascend further.
Gu Chaoyan felt a surge of embarrassment, contemplating the prospect of starting anew.
As she took a brief respite, laughter reached her ears. Two individuals covered their mouths, casting disdainful looks her way.
Standing there, Gu Chaoyan noticed the arrival of others.
In response, a smile crept onto her face.
Despite the arduous climb she had just completed, now she found herself subjected to mockery. It seemed her turn to witness others making a spectacle of themselves had arrived.
Gu Chaoyan, in a surprisingly good mood, observed those below.
She anticipated the arrival of the individual who would inevitably have to undergo the same struggle.
However…
Just as Gu Chaoyan eagerly awaited the unfolding spectacle, a man casually ascended with an air of ease. Underneath him, it appeared as if there were stairs, facilitating his leisurely ascent.
Why hadn’t she noticed him down there earlier?
She could…
Climb!
Gu Chaoyan’s expression darkened.
The two individuals who had mocked her continued to smile, remarking, “You chose the most foolish method to enter the Sky Sect. It’s quite rare for someone like you to be granted a Guidance Scroll by the Sky Sect, for reasons unknown.”
She continued her ascent.
It was an unheard-of and unprecedented sight!
After uttering their mocking remarks, they found it even more amusing and departed, maintaining their smiles.
Gu Chaoyan’s countenance darkened.
What in the world was this?
In the midst of her inner turmoil, the individual she had been waiting for effortlessly reached the top.
Alright…
What had taken her a day, he accomplished in mere moments.
Thankfully, the audience for this spectacle was limited. Otherwise, her reputation might truly suffer.
Curious, Gu Chaoyan approached the man, asking, “Did you just receive the Guidance Scroll and come to the Sky Sect? We seem to be on a similar journey.”
Desiring to establish a connection in this unfamiliar environment, she hoped to familiarize herself with the Sky Sect through him.
“Mm,” he responded, continuing to stride forward.
Gu Chaoyan had no choice but to follow.
Abruptly, he halted at a particular spot, and Gu Chaoyan mirrored his actions.
As she was about to speak, a green-clad girl approached, addressing the man beside her, “Come with me.”
He complied.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chaoyan trailed behind.
However, after taking only a couple of steps, she was halted. “Let him go. You don’t need to follow.”
What?
Gu Chaoyan stood there in bewilderment.
She had just arrived at the Sky Sect.
So was this person.
Why was he taken away first, leaving her here alone?
What was going on here?
“Why?” Gu Chaoyan was not convinced.
“Our Sect Leader isn’t interested in you, so there’s no need for you to follow us. Just wait here. Perhaps other Sect Leaders might take an interest in you,” the woman in green added, offering a bit more explanation.
Gu Chaoyan grasped the situation.
It seemed the green-robed woman’s Sect Leader had selected the man, leaving her without any takers at the moment. Was she supposed to linger aimlessly?
She couldn’t help feeling frustrated. Didn’t they realize how capable she was?
With a dejected sigh, Gu Chaoyan took a seat.
The two individuals who had passed by earlier continued on another path, their smiles growing wider as they saw her.
“Wait, don’t leave!” Gu Chaoyan halted them. The continuous mockery fueled her anger.
“What’s happening in your Sky Sect? Why lure them here with the Guidance Scroll and then ignore them? What kind of Sky Sect is this?” Gu Chaoyan fumed. It was ridiculous!
The two men stopped in front of Gu Chaoyan.
