Chapter 2696: Sky Sect 22
Editor: Henyee Translations
Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Chaoyan and Lin Xue stopped running.
There was no one else around. They turned around to take a look, only to see that there was no one else behind Heaven. He was the only one who had caught up with them, panting heavily, as if he had been chasing them for a long time.
Gu Chaoyan and Lin Xue both let out a sigh of relief.
If they were caught, it would be over.
They might even be expelled from the Sky Sect.
Now that they hadn’t been caught, there was still a chance.
“Where’s that old man?” Lin Xue asked warily.
“He tried to catch up with us, insisting that Xing Sect members were disguised as Cangwu Sect. I promptly dismissed it, suggesting his age might be affecting his vision. After all, he was a part of our Cangwu Sect. I warned him not to provoke us, citing potential consequences. Unsurprisingly, he ceased his pursuit. Our Cangwu Sect holds a higher standing in the Sky Sect compared to Xing Sect, making him think twice before crossing us,” boasted the Heaven Emperor.
Regardless, the Sect Leader of Xing Sect chose not to pursue the matter any further.
He seemed quite confident in giving such an assurance.
It was just a pity that no one would know what he had done. Now, that old man from the Xing Sect had seen it.
Honestly…
He couldn’t do anything well, but he did a good job where he was not needed.
When the Heaven Emperor mentioned the Sect Leader of Xing Sect, he was still filled with resentment and dissatisfaction.
Lin Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
According to Heaven, they would have nothing to worry about today.
‘That’s a relief.’
Lin Xue approached, giving the Heaven Emperor a hearty pat on the back. “You’re truly loyal. Thanks to you holding the fort, we dodged a bullet today. Count on having plenty of roasted chicken in your future.”
The Heaven Emperor nonchalantly stepped away from Lin Xue, grinning foolishly as if he had just received the grandest reward.
Lin Xue seemed elated, unaffected by the Heaven Emperor’s reaction.
However, Gu Chaoyan…
Her expression turned sour, a hint of discontent evident.
The incident had concluded, and despite appearances, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right. She was aware of the Xing Sect Leader’s disdain for her, a sentiment he made quite clear. He must have recognized her and Lin Xue, raising doubts about his apparent oversight.
Now, just based on Heaven’s one-sided words, he actually believed that they were from the Cangwu Sect.
Something was already wrong when they were running just now.
How could it be so easy?
It did not seem like the style of the Sect Leader of Xing Sect.
“What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy that we escaped?” Lin Xue asked.
“No, I just think that it is too easy.” Gu Chaoyan forced a smile, still showing a suspicious look.
Lin Xue felt that she was thinking too much.
Not knowing where to start, she glanced at Heaven.
The Heaven Emperor felt a twinge of surprise. True to expectations, she wasn’t easily deceived.
Nevertheless, he gathered himself and offered an explanation, “With the chaotic crowd and your swift movement, it was easy to lose track. Plus, you were donned in our Cangwu Sect attire. The Sect Leader of Xing Sect’s uncertainty is quite understandable.”
