Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The ascendant group was made up of the people from different regions Earth. The natives were considered n.o.bler than the ascendants, so they were more politically powerful in different sectors of the Celestial Kingdom. Most of the officers ranked four and above were the natives. The ascendants were regarded as socially inferior. The ascendants would only be appointed as officers ranked four and below. Most of the servants, gardeners, and soldiers were the ascendants due to their inferiority.
Princess Ya was the foster daughter of the Emperor Immortal. He doted on her like she was his own daughter. She was here because her residence was short of staff. She had to visit often to handpick the servants.
Long Siye was selected not long ago due to his handsome appearance and extraordinary ability. He often said nothing, as if in a trance, so the army was not interested in him. After his memory had been completely erased, he seemed more dumbfounded than usual. People like him would only be a.s.signed with rough work.
Princess Ya thought that becoming a cleaner was a waste of his good looks, so she requested for him to become her hostler and personal carriage stool. Whenever she had to step down from the carriage, she would step on his back like a stool while he kneeled on the ground.
Long Siye was not a keen learner, so Princess Ya’s servant, Jing Er, would often scold him to teach him some manners. From Ming Lang’s statement and Jing Er’s occasional opinions, Gu Xijiu finally understood the context. She said nothing and stared fixedly at Long Siye instead.
Their eyes met, but the way he looked at him was different; it was as if she was looking at a stranger. From his eyes, she could tell that he was equally curious and concerned about her.
Gu Xijiu heaved a sigh and disregarded Princess Ya completely, who had been waiting for an apology. “Instructor Long, do you recognize me?” She asked.
Bewildered, Long Siye shook his head. His memory had been completely erased.
“Are you willing to stay with her and become her hostler?” Gu Xijiu gave him a fixed, stern look. The audience was surprised, for the only thing that she was concerned about after knowing the truth was his compliance.
The servant, Jing Er, remarked sarcastically, “Our princess has chosen him because of his honest and presentable looks. At least she did not feel an antipathy against his clumsiness. It should be an honor to him. He should regard it as a compliment. Do you know about the ascendants that were in the same batch as him? Some are gardeners. Some are cleaners. They have all been a.s.signed to places that are not favorable for their spiritual power.”
“Jing Er, shut up!” Princess Ya suddenly interrupted her.
Jing Er was shocked, for she knew that she had said something that angered her master. Her voice was rather loud, so the recent ascendants in blue and green robes were dumbfounded. They had not had their memory erased yet.
On Earth, these people were the real movers and shakers, all with enormous capabilities. They had always thought about heaven as a place for them to live a happy afterlife. They thought they would be able to travel around freely without a care about the world.
On the contrary to their hopes, they were here to become servants. It was no wonder that their memory had to be erased in order to prevent them from acting against their orders. These people stood gazing at one another, unsure of what to do. Intuitively, they took a few steps backward.
The man in white had to comfort them. “Everyone, there is no room for being overly concerned. All of you here are great talents. I am sure the heaven will appreciate all of your contributions.”
