The winter night had arrived earlier than usual, and the night had also arrived earlier than usual.

When night fell, the warm jade had already lit up the room they lived in.

At this moment, Xu Chen held a book in his hands. Although he was reading, his thoughts were not on the book, but on the Dusk Incantation on the divine stone.

However, even after thinking hard for three whole days, he still couldn't think of anything. It was rather unfathomable.

Xu Chen understood that as long as he could solve all three of his problems, he would be able to try the Dusk Spell!

Just as Xu Chen was frowning in anxiety, a warm jade who had left the room for a while came in with a bowl of steaming hot soup.

"Young master, it's cold. I've made you a bowl of soup, drink some to protect you from the cold." Warm jade brought the soup in front of Xu Chen.

In the past, when they were in the Xu family, although there would be people who cooked for Xu Chen, warm jade would often be used to cook soup for him because his health wasn't good.

"It smells so good. It didn't smell like this before." As soon as he entered, Xu Chen smelled a fragrant scent.

"Today, some special materials have been added to this soup. It's something new, so it's a bit special." Warm Jade smiled and said, "Young Master, try it first."

Warm Jade had an exquisite oval face, and her eyebrows were faint. When she smiled, her eyes squinted into a beautiful crescent moon, making her look extremely beautiful.

"It must taste really good since it's so fragrant." Xu Chen said with a pleasant smile.

As he spoke, Xu Chen put down the book in his hand and took a sip.

"Delicious." Xu Chen carefully savored the taste and praised it. However, he soon frowned and said, "The taste seems a little different."

The soup was sweet to begin with, and was slightly sweet when one drank it. However, it would slowly become sweet, and the fragrance of the ginseng would permeate one layer after another, bringing endless aftertastes.

However, in this bowl of soup, Xu Chen felt that he had put in something else, such as a medicine, and a special kind of medicine at that.

Xu Chen was well versed in the Way of Medicine. Although he had never tasted medicine before, he had heard too much and had an instinctive reaction to medicine.

When he had taken his first sip, the faint medicinal scent had been masked by the fragrance of the soup, but he had still tasted it.

"You drugged me?" Xu Chen's expression was very indifferent. He was not angry, and his tone was even less angry. Instead, he used a very calm tone to ask this question.

Warm Jade didn't explain and instead lowered her head in guilt. However, a hint of sadness could be seen in her eyes.

Warm jade had never concealed anything from Xu Chen. Other than this matter, she could not say it, or perhaps she should not say it.

Xu Chen gazed deeply at the warm jade. Although he couldn't understand why this was so, he knew that the warm jade wouldn't maliciously poison him. It was because Xu Chen trusted her.

But he wanted an explanation, an excuse.

However, upon hearing Xu Chen's question, Jia Yu remained silent, causing the situation to turn somewhat stiff.

However, just as the two of them were in a stalemate, a black-clothed girl quietly walked out from behind her.

It was as if she had been separated from the warm jade body and appeared in front of Xu Chen.

Xu Chen realized that she looked exactly the same as the warm jade, but her expression was cold and resolute. The feeling she gave others was different than the warm jade, just like the shadow of a warm jade.

"Young Master, I told Warm Jade to drug you, but please forgive me. We just wanted to protect you." The black-clothed woman knelt on one knee in front of Xu Chen.

"You?" Xu Chen had always known that besides the warm jade around him, there was someone else hiding in the dark to protect her.

What Xu Chen did not expect was that the person hiding in the dark was exactly the same as that warm jade.

If it wasn't for the difference between the two of them, it would have been difficult for Xu Chen to tell who was who.

And now, the problem wasn't this, but how she appeared here.

Right now, the place where Xu Chen was staying had probably already been monitored. There were experts everywhere, and even flies couldn't get in. How did she get in?

"Young Master need not be suspicious, we have the Peerless Body. We can walk around freely and no one will notice us." The black-clothed young girl stood up and stood together with the warm jade. It was very difficult to distinguish them.

"No wonder you could come in." Xu Chen came to a realization.

The Peerless Body was truly a peerless physique. Although it was not comparable to the Divine Body, it was still more rare than Divine Bodies.

This was because only twin brothers or sisters would have a trillionth chance of having such a physique.

Moreover, with this kind of physique, even though the two of them had the Divine Veins, only one person could practice it. The cultivation realms of the two could only be practiced by that person who cultivated the Divine Veins.

Therefore, no matter how hard she tried, she was only at the ninth level of the Spirit Condensation Realm. This was because another person was cultivating, so the only thing she needed to do was wait for the Warm Jade to advance.

And the most obvious and terrifying aspect of the Peerless Body was that everything about them was related to each other, not just in terms of strength and cultivation level.

Memories, experiences, senses, consciousness, and everything else, including their bodies, were all connected.

They could appear anywhere around each other. This was also the most terrifying part of the Unparalleled Body.

This was also the reason why the black-clothed girl had never shown herself but knew every single move of the Sky Bearing Empire like the back of her hand.

This was also the reason why the black-clothed girl could quietly appear in the airtight Sky Bearing Empire.

"Why are you doing this?" When Xu Chen saw this young girl, he had already guessed a little, but he still had to ask.

"Patriarch, let us take you out of the Sky Bearing Empire." The black-robed maiden didn't hide anything.

This was within Xu Chen's expectations. He shook his head and said, "If I leave now, my time here will be meaningless."

"Also, the Sky Bearing Empire will immediately eliminate the Xu family from the East Xuan Continent. The consequences will be even worse than before, no one will be able to escape!" Xu Chen said with certainty.

Because Xu Chen had already gone to the Compendium Pavilion, the situation was no longer as simple as it was back then when they were fighting.

Once Xu Chen left, no one would be able to protect the Xu family. This was because this was the wrath of the four Heaven Palaces, because what Xu Chen saw was earth-shattering.

If Xu Chen did not leave, and the Sky Bearing Empire got what he wanted, Xu Chen was sure that the four Heavenly Palaces of the Northern Lands would be even more low-key than the Xu Family!

This also meant that the Xu family could take this opportunity to recover their Essence. No matter what happened in the future, it would at least give the Xu family a chance to catch their breath.

"Go back and tell my father not to think like that anymore. Since I've decided to come here, I've already prepared for the worst." Xu Chen said.

"Young master, our plan has already begun. You can't stop it. No one can." The girl in black shook her head.

As she spoke, she pulled out a black bottle from somewhere and took out a pill from within before swallowing it.

Xu Chen's worries were part of their plans, which was why they were here.

"Young master, don't worry and leave. Aside from us, no one from the Sky Bearing Empire will know that you have left!" The young girl said with certainty.

As soon as the black-clothed girl finished speaking, the pill she had taken seemed to have taken effect. Her face suddenly became distorted. She frowned, as if in pain.

Slowly, her eyebrows became denser and her facial features also started to change. Her eyes became smaller and more heroic.

Until she finally froze, this was only a split-second change.

"What do you all want to do?!" When Xu Chen saw that the young girl before him looked exactly the same as him, he already knew what they meant!

What the young girl had just consumed was a Face Preserving Pill. It would be able to change her appearance in the coming month!

"I'm already a dying man, what's the point of all this?" Xu Chen's expression changed, his already pale face becoming even paler.

"So, young master, please stay alive and sound after you leave, even if it is only for a short period of time." The girl who had turned into Xu Chen suddenly stepped forward.

"You all …" Before Xu Chen could finish his sentence, a fragrant aroma wafted into his nose. His eyes turned white as he fainted.

At the moment when Xu Chen was unconscious, he could faintly hear the girl say, "Please remember my name is Lan Tian."

The knockout drugs they gave Xu Chen were mixed together. If Xu Chen hadn't eaten the soup, he wouldn't have fainted. It was as if they hadn't fainted because of the smell.

Originally, they could have used a simple method to stun Xu Chen, but this could have been intentional.

Perhaps the young girl wearing black tights wanted Xu Chen to remember their names.

"The moon has tears in her eyes, and the sun is warm and the jade is filled with smoke."

This was the first time they had met, and perhaps the last time they had met, so their names were very important!

After Xu Chen fainted, Lan Tian immediately changed into Xu Chen's clothes. He then took out a black hexagonal box from his storage ring.

After Lan Tian opened the black hexagonal box, the box suddenly emitted a burst of light. Afterwards, Xu Chen disappeared from where he stood.

If one looked carefully, there was a very small formation pattern carved into the black hexagonal box.

"There's a divine force fluctuating!"

However, just as this was completed, the Duke of Li Qing, who was standing guard outside Xu Chen's room, noticed it.

When Marquis Li Qinghou rushed into the room, 'Xu Chen' was still standing there reading, and 'Warm Jade' was still standing there attending to him.

There was no movement in the room, and the divine force also disappeared without a trace.

"Can I help you?" Xu Chen frowned as he looked at Li Qinghou.

Li Qinghou's brows were locked together as he looked around the room. Although he didn't see anything abnormal, he felt that it was not good.

However, it was not good for him to search for them. After all, this place was heavily guarded and he was standing guard outside. Since Xu Chen and his servant were still here, he must have felt wrongly.

"Sorry to interrupt." Noticing nothing, Li Qinghou left the room again.

Of course, if Li Qinghou were to observe carefully, he would definitely discover that Xu Chen, who was sitting there, had a faintly discernible killing intent hidden in his calm eyes!
