As they ascended into the clouds, Huailan assumed responsibility for them.
"Did the Sect Leader of Xing Sect send you two? Since you're here, I'll acquaint you with the protocols. However, you may first meet the master," Huailan informed them.
The Heaven Emperor hadn't provided specific instructions regarding Lady Chaoyan's identity.
Although referred to as Lady Chaoyan, they could simply address her as Master.
Lin Xue accepted this arrangement with gratitude, acknowledging Lady Chaoyan's assistance in her presence here.
Xiaoyun, however, sensed a discrepancy but couldn't pinpoint its nature. There was an unsettling feeling lingering within her.
Perhaps it was Huailan who referred to her as 'Master,' not the 'Heaven Emperor.'
Still.
The Heavenly Palace only had one master.
Xiaoyun naturally took it as a meeting with the Heaven Emperor.
Huailan led the way. They did not see the Celestial Thearch, but Gu Chaoyan.
