Chapter 2693: Sky Sect 19

Editor: Henyee Translations

They were quite unfamiliar with this person. His sect, name, and identity were all mysteries to them.

Even if he fed them lies, it wouldn’t be far-fetched.

The Sky Sect was vast, and they held a humble position in its hierarchy, making any grudges they might have against him inconsequential.

Observing his attire in simple green clothes, Lin Xue speculated he couldn’t belong to any prestigious sect. The idea that he possessed the abilities to secure them a place at the banquet seemed like a far-fetched fantasy.

The more Lin Xue pondered, the more convinced she became that they were being deceived.

Contrarily, Gu Chaoyan remained unfazed and unworried.

“Chaoyan, aren’t you concerned that we might be deceived?” Lin Xue inquired.

“Who would lie to us for a couple of roasted chickens? That’s impossible,” Gu Chaoyan replied confidently, dismissing any thoughts of deceit.

Lin Xue couldn’t help but think her friend was too trusting.

The Sky Sect was vast and housed individuals with varied motives.

Perhaps someone could indeed deceive them for a few roasted chickens.

“You trust people too easily,” Lin Xue sighed.

“Do I seem like someone who would lie? That would be disheartening.” The Heaven Emperor strolled over leisurely, holding some items in his hand.

As the words left his mouth, he tossed the items to Lin Xue and Gu Chaoyan.

“Put these on. They’re not easy to come by. Wearing these, sneaking in won’t be an issue. If you’re lucky, you might spot the person you’re looking for,” the Heaven Emperor advised calmly. Unbeknownst to Gu Chaoyan, the person she desired to see was right in front of her.

Over the past few days, he had a myriad of tasks to attend to.

The banquet wasn’t the only thing demanding the Sky Sect’s attention; the unsettled state of the Third World left no room for additional tasks.

Unexpectedly…

Despite his short time here, he found himself under suspicion. Apparently, they deemed him a skilled liar. If he had arrived a few steps later, he wondered if the duo would have scolded him to death.

The more the Heaven Emperor contemplated, the more disheartened he became.

Honestly…

Lin Xue and Gu Chaoyan, however, didn’t dwell on suspicions. They calmly donned the clothes, making adjustments for size differences. With this attire, they could indeed slip into the banquet unnoticed.

It turned out the young man wasn’t lying.

“It seems I misunderstood you. You’re quite trustworthy,” Lin Xue generously complimented, wearing a smile that suggested she was in a good mood.

“Of course. Can I afford to go back on my word?” If he were such a person, he wouldn’t hold the title of Heaven Emperor.

“What’s your name?” Lin Xue inquired.

The Heaven Emperor hesitated momentarily.

Revealing his real name would undoubtedly expose him.

In a spur-of-the-moment decision, he settled on one. After racking his brains, he finally came up with an answer. “Heaven. Just call me Heaven.”

“Heaven,” Lin Xue called out.

The Heaven Emperor forced a smile onto his face as he agreed.

If other people from the Sky Sect heard this, they would probably be scared to death.

A Heaven Emperor was being addressed as Heaven so casually.

Fortunately, there was no one here.
