Chapter 2735: Flower Sect 6

She took it off and held it in her hand, waving the Phoenix Flower at Huailan excitedly.
The faces of the few people from the Flower Sect had already completely frozen.
The others couldn’t help but twitch.
Why was someone handling the revered Phoenix Flower with such carelessness, as if it were a common weed?
The significance of the Phoenix Flower couldn’t be overstated. Not only did it mark the position of the Flower Sect’s sect master, but it also held immense benefits for marrow purification and cultivation enhancement.
Ordinarily, one would handle it with the utmost reverence. How could they treat it so recklessly?
Upon her return, Gu Chaoyan tossed a rope to Huailan, requesting assistance to pull her ashore.
Once on solid ground, she handed the Phoenix Flower to Huailan and turned eagerly to the Flower Sect members, proclaiming, “You all agreed that if I successfully plucked this Phoenix Flower, I could freely claim any other flowers from the Flower Sect!”
The expressions on the Flower Sect members’ faces soured as if they had tasted something foul.
They never imagined she could accomplish such a feat, throwing their plans into disarray.
With this opportunity squandered, they’d have to wait another millennium for the next Phoenix Flower to bloom to vie for the Sect Leader position.
Considering the current Sect Leader’s advanced age, another thousand-year wait could be fatal.
If she dared to pluck it, fine, but how dare she covet the other flowers in the sect?
The lead woman brandished her sword, poised to confront Gu Chaoyan.
Just then, the Sect Leader’s attendants arrived. “Lady Chaoyan, Lady Hua Wu, the Sect Leader requests your presence.”
With the Sect Leader’s men present, Hua Wu abandoned any notion of attacking further. Provoking them would only result in her own humiliation.
Hua Wu found herself…
The group received an invitation.
Gu Chaoyan quickly spotted the Heaven Emperor among the gathering, accompanied by other individuals, likely leaders of various sects.
The Flower Sect Master greeted them with a smile.
“Lady Chaoyan, I’ve heard that you managed to pluck the Phoenix Flower, is that correct?” the Flower Sect Leader inquired kindly.
“It is indeed true,” Gu Chaoyan affirmed boldly, embodying a fearless demeanor.
“What about the other flowers?” the Flower Sect Leader queried, slightly puzzled. He had witnessed the plucking of the Phoenix Flower, but Gu Chaoyan held nothing in her hand.
At the mention of the flowers, Gu Chaoyan suddenly recalled something.
Approaching Huailan, she retrieved the flower from her.
Huailan held it out in her hand.
Gu Chaoyan confessed with embarrassment, “Sect Leader of the Flower Sect, I must apologize. When I set out, I hadn’t intended to pluck the Phoenix Flower, so I didn’t bring along the container for the flowers.”
The Flower Sect Leader chuckled heartily, while the expressions of the Flower Sect members turned sour, particularly Hua Wu, who appeared on the brink of fury.
Though Huailan spoke the truth, its implications were rather bitter. What did she mean by not intending to pluck it?
The Flower Sect Elders pondered silently.
Gu Chaoyan returned the flowers to Huailan with a harmless toss and turned earnestly to Dao Seeking, “The Flower Sect Leader mentioned a wager with me. If I successfully plucked the flower, I could claim the flowers. However, despite my success, she refused to honor the bet and threatened me with her sword. May I still take some flowers with me? Many of them are quite beautiful.”
Hua Wu was so angry that she vomited blood.
She was still not satisfied after obtaining the Phoenix Flower?
She still wanted to covet other flowers?
And if she said it here, where would she put herself?
Sure enough…
