Chapter 2697: Sky Sect 23

Editor: Henyee Translations

“It’s alright. Don’t overthink it. You’re in Cangwu Sect attire. If the Xing Sect Leader confronts you later, just deny it. Unless he catches you red-handed, he won’t have grounds for confrontation afterward,” reassured the Heaven Emperor, leaving room for caution rather than overconfidence.

This assurance eased Gu Chaoyan’s apprehensions.

She found the Heaven Emperor’s logic convincing.

Perhaps the Xing Sect Leader wouldn’t bother pursuing them further on such a hectic day.

If confronted later, as per the Heaven Emperor’s advice, they could simply deny it. No need to dwell on the matter now.

However, with this incident, continuing their shopping seemed unwise. Another encounter might not end as smoothly. freewebnσvel.cøm

Moreover, the Heaven Emperor had yet to make a public appearance.

Even if they did, the timing wasn’t right for confrontation on this eventful day.

After weighing the options, the two decided to cut their shopping short and return to the back mountain.

The Heaven Emperor chose not to accompany them.

Instead, he resumed his role as the Heaven Emperor, overseeing the situation.

The one feeling the most tension was the Xing Sect Leader.

He had clearly identified the Heaven Emperor with those two individuals, yet the Heaven Emperor silenced any mention of it. Seeing the imposing Heaven Emperor again, it felt as though the connection to those two had never existed.

Yet, it had transpired.

The Xing Sect Leader recalled the awkward instance when the Heaven Emperor insisted on the inclusion of that seemingly foolish woman into the Xing Sect.

So…

Was there a connection between the Heaven Emperor and her?

The Xing Sect Leader found himself at a loss for words.

Having been part of the Xing Sect for numerous years, this was an unprecedented scenario.

Faced with uncertainty, the Xing Sect Leader decided to act as though nothing unusual had occurred. He would fulfill his duties, turning a blind eye to the rest.

Having resolved this in his mind, the Xing Sect Leader felt a newfound sense of ease.

The banquet continued vibrantly.

This occasion marked the rare opportunity for many from different sects to encounter the elusive Heaven Emperor in the Sky Sect. It was considered a fortunate encounter for those in attendance.

The banquet ended.

The Heaven Emperor gestured for the Sect Leader of Xing Sect to stay behind.

The Sect Leader of Xing Sect was shocked.

He had originally wanted to pretend that nothing had happened.

From the looks of it, this was completely impossible.

The Heaven Emperor had taken the initiative to look for him.

The Sect Leader of Xing Sect frowned and left. He did not know what would happen.

However, he could still pretend that he hadn’t seen the Heaven Emperor today.

“Heaven Emperor.” The Sect Leader of Xing Sect bowed respectfully.

“There are some things that you’ve already seen. If you see them, just pretend that you didn’t see them. Otherwise…” the Heaven Emperor warned.

“Yes,” hastily replied the Sect Leader of Xing Sect. He wasn’t particularly adept, and being Sect Leader was already pushing his limits. Getting involved in more complicated matters wasn’t on his agenda.

The Heaven Emperor expressed satisfaction with a nod.

Then, he added with significance, “Who’s handling my attire in the Xing Sect now?”

“It’s Xiaoyun, the most reliable in the Xing Sect.” The Sect Leader of Xing Sect responded. Xiaoyun had a flawless track record.

“Change it,” the Heaven Emperor stated bluntly.

“Change?” The Sect Leader of Xing Sect was puzzled. “Currently, no one in the Xing Sect matches Xiaoyun’s competence. Who else could take on the role.”
