Chapter 473: The Maid Xiao Keke
The maid Xiao Keke.
The morning sun had just risen, casting a golden glow over the courtyard.
Xiao Keke was busy sweeping the fallen leaves.
Her movements were light and nimble, like a dancing butterfly.
A gentle breeze blew, rustling her simple, pale-green dress.
She paused, wiping the light sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.
A sigh escaped her lips.
Life in the Profound Heaven Sect was not as easy as outsiders imagined.
Every day, she had to wake up before dawn to fetch water, sweep the grounds, and tend to the medicinal herbs in the garden.
If she were even a moment late, the senior disciples would surely scold her.
She looked up at the towering peaks of the sect, her eyes filled with longing.
She, too, dreamed of one day stepping onto the path of cultivation.
But she was merely a maid with no spiritual roots, destined to serve others for the rest of her life.
Suddenly, a loud boom echoed from the direction of the main hall, shaking the very ground beneath her feet.
Dust billowed into the air, and she instinctively covered her face with her sleeves.
The mysterious man's gaze swept over the crowd, his eyes cold and indifferent.
She felt a surge of panic.
Figures in white robes began to rush toward the hall, their expressions grave and hurried.
Xiao Keke dropped her broom and hid behind a large stone pillar, watching the chaos unfold with wide, fearful eyes.
She saw the Sect Master himself, his face pale, leading a group of elders toward the source of the disturbance.
The air grew heavy with a strange, oppressive pressure.
She could barely breathe, her heart pounding against her ribs like a trapped bird.
Was this the end of the Profound Heaven Sect?
She trembled uncontrollably.
She had to hide.
She turned and ran toward the servant quarters, her mind a blur of terror and confusion.
Behind her, the sounds of battle intensified, accompanied by the crackling of lightning and the clash of steel.
She did not dare to look back.
She only prayed for safety.
