Capítulo 2697: Sky Sect 23

"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.

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.
