Watching Yan Laoguai and the others leave, Ziyan felt a bit puzzled. They hadn't arranged a separate residence for Ling Yuxuan?
Logically, people in ancient times held more feudal beliefs. Since she and Ling Young Master were not yet married, they should have chosen another yard for him according to common practice.
However, from the looks of it, it seemed that the Leader's private life was something they were unwilling to interfere with, or perhaps there was another reason?
This was actually good; it saved a lot of trouble.
If she didn't have this Monster by her side, it wasn't that she couldn't accomplish anything. Rather, in this situation, she would undoubtedly feel lonely and even helpless.
Thinking of this, Ziyan suddenly realized: Yan Laoguai must be worried about her coming to this unfamiliar territory alone, and it was natural for her to feel lonely and lost.
Combining this with the various thoughtful things they had done for her earlier, a faint warmth gradually rose in Ziyan's heart.
Hopefully, she wasn't mistaken. As long as they truly accepted her as the New Sect Leader, she would definitely strive to create more miracles for Heavenly Pivot Sect and establish a prosperous era belonging to Heavenly Pivot Sect.
"Master, would you like to go upstairs to check your room with Gu Young Master?" Just as Ziyan was lost in thought, a maid beside her tentatively asked.
"Uh? Oh, my room with Gu Young Master?" Ziyan reflected carefully and felt somewhat surprised.
The maid who spoke earlier was quite perceptive; she realized that her first statement was too ambiguous and could easily lead to misunderstandings.
So she quickly explained, "It's my fault. I was a bit too nervous earlier and didn't clarify things with you. Elder Yan instructed that since you just returned to Headquarters, you might feel insecure in an unfamiliar environment. Therefore, they arranged for you and Ling Gongzi to stay on the same floor but in different rooms."
"Why didn't you say so clearly? You startled me." Ziyan pouted at the already somewhat anxious maid.
"Yes, I know I was wrong. Please punish me," the maid said as she knelt down on the ground.
"Oh come on, that's enough. Get up and lead the way. I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again."
Feeling quite speechless, Ziyan was impatient and immediately pardoned her while urging her to lead the way ahead.
Because at this moment, she just wanted to quickly visit the layout of her room with the boy she loved, and had no time to fuss over a maid.
Soon, Ziyan and Ling Young Master followed several maids up to the second floor.
First, they entered her own room, which was decorated as luxuriously and beautifully as a princess's chamber in a palace.
Almost all the wooden items were crafted from precious redwood.
The room was a suite, divided by an arched door frame and some exquisite wood carvings. There was no door, only a beaded curtain made of Red Coral.
Through the curtain, one could faintly see a very large redwood bed against the wall at the northernmost part of the room, which was also exquisitely carved.
To the left of the bed was a large redwood wardrobe of the same color. The floor was covered with a large carpet that had a hint of exotic style.
Looking back towards the front hall, about ten feet from the door on the left side stood a long redwood Imperial Couch, while to the right, about twenty feet away from the door, there was a set of redwood tables and chairs.
Approximately fifty feet to the right was a redwood vanity table. To the right of the vanity stood a redwood washstand, which even had three basins—two for washing faces and one for feet—made of redwood. At first glance, it seemed like there was bright light in the room; however, that was not the case since there were no lights in either the inner or outer rooms.
Upon closer inspection, Ziyan noticed that in both the inner and outer rooms, there was a large Night Pearl placed in the center of the ceiling.
Ziyan felt like she might faint; in the Twenty-First World, a Night Pearl was an incredibly rare treasure worth an astronomical price.
Even if someone could afford such an exorbitant price, it didn't guarantee they could find an authentic one. It truly could be said to be priceless!
Yet since arriving in this world, she had already seen several large and even super-sized Night Pearls multiple times.
It seemed that in this place, wealthy individuals or royal nobles each had quite a few Night Pearls stored away.
Facing all these luxurious items in her room, although Ziyan had been mentally prepared, she still found herself momentarily stunned by their extravagance.
This was indeed the luxurious lifestyle of a Leader in this era; she truly felt like a lucky person!
I hope this kind of luck can accompany me for the rest of my life! Ziyan couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Is the layout of the room to your satisfaction, my lord? If you have any other requests, please feel free to let me know," the maid who had previously teased her approached and asked again.
"Um, let's leave it like this for now. If I think of anything else I need, I'll let you know," Ziyan replied.
Ziyan looked at the maid, noticing that she was a couple of years older than herself, with a fairly delicate face and a slender figure.
Although she spoke somewhat clumsily, overall, she was the type that Ziyan found pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, her intuition told her that this girl didn't have too many schemes or tricks up her sleeve.
Since she had never liked women who were overly scheming, she decided to take her on as her personal maid.
In the past, she wasn't used to or willing to accept someone serving her closely, but now that she was the Leader of such a large organization, it was only reasonable and for the sake of the Heavenly Pivot Sect's reputation to have one or two personal maids.
With this in mind, Ziyan smiled at the maid and asked, "I would like you to be my personal maid from now on. Would you be willing?"
"Uh?" The maid looked incredulous and overwhelmed.
After a moment of stunned silence, she quickly knelt on the ground again and excitedly declared, "Thank you, my lord. I will definitely follow you faithfully from now on. If I go against this vow, I will meet a terrible end."
Uh? The maid's solemn vow surprised Ziyan. She hadn't expected this maid to make such a serious declaration as if she were receiving a grand honor from Long En.
"Alright, alright, get up! From now on, I will be watching your actions. Just don't let me down!" Ziyan reached out and pulled the maid up.
"Thank you, my lord. Thank you. I will not betray your trust," the maid reiterated after being pulled up by Ziyan.
"Um, but after all this time, I still don't know your name. Please introduce yourself," Ziyan suddenly remembered something important as she looked at the maid in front of her.
"Uh-uh-uh, my name is Yang Xiaodie. I am 20 years old this year and my hometown is Yang Family Village, Wu County, Chu County. Due to the large number of people in my family and our difficult livelihood, I sold myself to Heavenly Pivot Sect."
“Yang Xiaodie?” Ziyan exclaimed, somewhat puzzled by the familiar name.
In the next moment, Ziyan remembered that a girl named Yang Xiaodie had been taken in by her family's shop two years ago.
However, over the past few years, she had been busy with her own matters and had paid little attention to her. Now that Yang Xiaodie was almost fifteen years old.
Isn't it true? The Han People culture of having the same names is truly everywhere!
Ziyan couldn't help but chuckle softly, then instructed, “Yang Xiaodie, please lead us to Ling Gongzi's room for a visit.”
“Okay, please follow me, my lord,” Yang Xiaodie immediately turned and headed towards the room on the east side.
It was close; the room arranged for Ling Yuxuan by Yan Laoguai was just separated by a middle hall from Ziyan's room on the west side.
While Ziyan and her companions were still lingering to view the rooms on the second floor, they saw two groups of people coming up from the middle hall corridor. They were carrying two large bathing tubs, followed by two more groups of people each holding steaming clean bathwater.
Thus, Ziyan glanced at her own Demonically Charming Man, blinking her bright eyes at him, then waved her hand to indicate that everyone should return to their rooms to bathe and change.
Naturally, the Demonically Charming Man understood and nodded back at her, also waving his hand in acknowledgment.
After a flurry of activity, Ziyan enjoyed a particularly refreshing and comfortable bath with the attentive service of two maids.
Feeling much lighter and more relaxed, she couldn't help but secretly complain about how nice it was to have someone waiting on her.
After finishing her bath and opening the large redwood wardrobe, she discovered it was already filled with colorful dresses made from the finest fabrics of this era.
After carefully selecting, Ziyan finally chose a simple and flowing dress in a goose yellow color.
Then she had Yang Xiaodie style her hair into a hairstyle typical of capable women of this era.
Next, she stood in front of a large bronze mirror, checking herself from left to right and even spinning around a few times. She was quite satisfied with her new look.
After finishing, he strode purposefully towards Ling Young Master's room.
However, as soon as he reached the corridor, he noticed a certain elegantly dressed young nobleman in white had already been waiting for him in the hallway.
Upon seeing Ziyan arrive, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in both of their eyes almost simultaneously.
From that moment on, Ziyan knew that he and Ling Yuxuan no longer needed to dress plainly and simply as they had in the past.
In the past, to avoid drawing too much attention, Ziyan and a certain Demonically Charming Man always dressed in an intentionally low-key manner. Sometimes, they were so understated that they nearly lost their original appearance.
Now, whether for himself or for the Heavenly Pivot Sect, he could no longer afford to be low-key in terms of image, temperament, and presence.
The two of them held hands and walked down the stairs side by side, only to find Yan Laoguai and Lu Yuan seemingly waiting there for quite some time.
They then led Ziyan and Ling Young Master through several Yards and a garden until they arrived at the Headquarters's Ancestral Hall.
This was a worship process for the new sect leader. It had been carried out for hundreds of years but had been stagnant for two hundred years.
For the past two hundred years, the Twin Dragon Jade Pendant had not appeared, so the Heavenly Pivot Sect had not appointed a new sect leader, and naturally, this ceremony had not continued.
