It was because the Sect Leader of Xing Sect was worried. He was worried that she wouldn't be willing to go if he continued nagging. What should he do? He wouldn't be able to answer to the Heaven Emperor, and the Heaven Emperor would definitely vent his anger on him.
He did not want to take the risk. He only wanted to be the Sect Leader of Xing Sect.
If he could not become the Sect Leader of Xing Sect, he would really be finished.
So he behaved himself and did not give Gu Chaoyan any chance to get angry.
He brought her to the clouds.
When she arrived at the clouds, Gu Chaoyan still felt a bit nervous. If she became a maid in the palace, she would no longer be in charge of the Xing Sect, but the clouds.
The rules here were strict, but it was not as good as in the Xing Sect.
Although the Sect Leader of Xing Sect was usually very naggy and prejudiced, he was an honest person.
He didn't really do anything to hurt others.
