After Jiang Baiqiu came out of the pavilion, the other three Heavenly Abode experts that had besieged the Xu Family all retreated out of the Xu Family's sphere of influence.

Without any warning, the forces of the Northern Lands that were besieging the Xu family along with the four Heaven Palaces were caught off guard.

They did not even understand why the four Heavenly Palaces wanted to retreat. The Xu family would be annihilated if they took another step forward.

Without the four Heaven Palaces leading the way, these forces that were adding insult to injury would be afraid to face the Xu family, even if it was the Xu family that was on the verge of death!

This was because this was the Xu family that was known as the Little Heaven Manor of the Northern Lands. Its reputation was widespread, and its power in the Northern Lands was only second to the Four Heavenly Realms!

In an instant, after the four Heaven Palaces retreated, many forces of the Northern Lands also retreated.

Even if some powers were unwilling to give up, they could not change anything in the face of such a flood of ebbing tide.

The Xu family's disciples who were surrounded by the Xu family were also quite confused about the retreat of the four Heavenly Palaces and the other powers.

Regardless of whether it was the experts of the Xu family or the young disciples of the Xu family, more than half of them had died.

The four Heaven Palaces were truly just one step away from the final step, and the Little Heaven Manor's Xu family would become the history of the past.

Xu Fusheng stood beside Xu Liyang, his face extremely pale. Clearly, he was injured.

He and Xu Liyang watched the large forces retreat like a receding tide.

"Father, will there be any conspiracy behind the departure of the four Heaven Palaces?" Xu Fusheng asked.

"Probably not." Xu Liyang shook his head. With the current situation of the Xu family, he was very clear that if he took one more step, they would charge into the Xu family.

In addition, Xu Liyang had also been severely injured. The Xu family was not only him and Xu Fusheng, the rest of them were also at the end of their tether.

Thus, the Four Great Heavenly Palaces did not need any conspiracy. Their retreat could only mean one thing.

As for the reason, even Xu Liyang did not think of it at the moment.

"Father, the jade tablet I gave second brother a few hours ago shattered." Xu Fusheng frowned, "Will their departure have anything to do with second brother's death?"

"If Chen'er died, they would never retreat again." Xu Liyang pondered for a moment.

"What would make them retreat?" Xu Fusheng did not understand.

"What if Chen'er isn't dead?" Xu Liyang's eyes flashed with a profound light.

"If second brother is not dead, then there is no point in besieging our Xu family. Furthermore, there will be trouble!" Xu Fusheng was also aware of this problem.

If it was like his father had said, then Xu Chen wouldn't have received any news for half a year, and that jade tablet hadn't been damaged at all.

And now it had shattered at this crucial moment. If this was not a coincidence, then the only explanation was that Xu Chen was not dead.

"Father, should we bring Second Brother back to the Xu family?" Xu Fusheng began to worry even more about Xu Chen's situation.

If this was all because of Xu Chen helping the Xu family out from behind the scenes, it would be tantamount to exposing himself. The four Heavenly Palaces would definitely find him at all costs!

"No need." Xu Liyang took the jade token from Xu Fusheng and crushed it.

"Why?" Xu Fusheng was puzzled. This was his younger brother, his father's son. Was his father just going to let him go like this?

"The entire Eastern Xuan Continent knows that he is dead." Xu Liyang said somewhat sorrowfully.

Xu Fusheng frowned as he thought about it. He understood what his father meant.

Although Xu Liyang's words seemed to be wrong, the truth was that the four Heavenly Palaces had already taken action against the Xu family, and their goal had not been achieved.

At this moment, it was likely that the Four Great Heavenly Palaces would do their utmost to find Xu Chen, to the point of even paying any price!

As long as Xu Chen returned to the Xu family, the destruction of the Xu family would once again take place. There would be no retreat.

After all, the current situation was not the same as before. The four Heaven Palaces had changed from a covert layout to a public battle. There was no way to stop this!

"Next, the key question will be whether or not the four Heavenly Palaces will be able to find Chen'er." Xu Liyang said somewhat helplessly.

In fact, they now understood that Xu Chen was the most important person in solving the problem now that the situation had developed to this point.

The protagonist was currently in the tallest palace in the Southern Tang Imperial Capital.

Lin Yueting and Xu Chen stood by the window of the palace, overlooking the bustling capital.

It had to be said that this palace was truly high. One could see everything in the capital through the night.

The lights were dim in the rain, making people feel unreal.

Even after the war, the night was beautiful.

"Are we leaving this place?" Lin Yueting looked at the calm youth in front of her, unable to see through her more and more.

"Did you allow me to leave?" Xu Chen asked.

"Can I keep you?" Lin Yueting found his previous actions to be laughable.

This was a feeling that Lin Yueting had never felt before. Since she was a child, she had always thought that she had seen all sorts of people.

A hypocritical modest gentleman, a headstrong and intelligent person, a calm and treacherous person, and an astute and astute politician.

But now, they couldn't even compare to Xu Chen's calmness, because it made her feel that it was all fake.

On the other hand, Xu Chen's calmness made people feel that it was real. This made her very curious about the experience of this young man in front of her.

"You have a kind of infatuation within you." Lin Yueting looked at Xu Chen, revealing a complicated expression.

"You're the first person to say that to me, thank you." Xu Chen said humbly.

"I'm afraid you won't be coming back after you leave." Lin Yueting gazed at the sky as if she did not care in the slightest.

"I don't know. I think I'll be wandering around for a long time." Xu Chen was very clear about his current situation.

Hearing this, for a split-second, Lin Yueting discovered that in the deepest part of her heart, there was also a trace of sadness.

"I don't know why, but I also feel that this throne that I have always wanted will make me feel disgusted." Lin Yueting, who had always been haughty in the eyes of others, hadn't felt this strange in a long time.

"Then give it to the person you want." Xu Chen casually said.

"How about I give it to you?" The corners of Lin Yueting's mouth curled into a charming smile.

"I'm not suitable." Xu Chen knew his own limits. He knew exactly what he wanted.

"I will consider your proposal." Lin Yueting said in a somewhat serious tone.

"Where have you decided to go?" Lin Yueting asked.

"Beidou Academy." Xu Chen thought of Su Xiao Yue and the others. They shouldn't have waited for too long. They would have been worried.

"I think it's time for me to go, Your Majesty." Xu Chen bid farewell to Lin Yueting.

Lin Yueting, on the other hand, was stunned by his words. By the time she could react, Xu Chen was already out of the palace gates.

Standing within this enormous palace, even after Xu Chen left, Lin Yueting still felt a sense of loneliness. Perhaps this palace was too big and empty.

Lin Yueting stroked the scar on her abdomen, letting her feel a sense of relief.

Actually, with her strength, she could have completely erased the scar, but she didn't because she didn't want to.

After exiting the palace, Xu Chen held up his umbrella and disappeared into the night.

It was as if nothing had happened during the day. He had only gone to the palace to be a guest for the day.
