The night quickly passed. The next morning, Rean and Roan went to the Alchemist Guild to see Werxa. It was a good thing that they were seen doing it. Roan was an alchemist and just got 2nd place in the Alchemist Exam. As for Rean, he was his twin brother, after all. Why couldn't he tag along? That served as the perfect cover so that Werxa could bring them to see Huan.

"Alright, you two come with me."

​​

Werxa then guided them through a secret passage in the Alchemist Guild's building. Once they arrived outside, they already had different appearances.

Later on, Werxa used some obscure passages that brought the twins to a huge mansion's backyard. However, that backyard also had a few guards. Nonetheless, the guards looked at Werxa and simply ignored him, letting the group pass as if they were nothing more than air.

After some time, they entered a garden. That was the same garden Huan had talked with Old Worm just a day prior. As one could imagine, Huan was once again sitting at his table, drinking tea. Court sessions were usually held during the afternoon, so Huan had a lot of time to take with them.

Werxa then came forward and sat on a chair as well.

"You know, Huan? It's kinda hard to talk to you nowadays."

Huan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Werxa. If it was anyone else, it would have been quite disrespectful to do something like this. However, Werxa represented the Alchemist Guild Headquarters in the Sasamil Empire, so his status surely wasn't any lower than Huan.

"You talk as if you don't know the situation we're in. Anyway, I didn't agree to your request so that I could talk to you. Go away already. I want to have a private talk with these twins."

Werxa shook his head as he replied.

"I brought them here, so they're under my protection. What if you decide to do something to them?"

*Bang!*

"Do you think I would raise my hands against some kids?!"

Werxa laughed in response.

"Come on, come on! It was just a joke. Of course, you wouldn't do such a thing. Still, why leave me in the dark? I'm also curious to hear why you accepted this meeting."

Roan then came to Werxa's side before saying.

"In fact, I also asked for this opportunity to talk with Huan in private. Guild Leader, go outside. I'll meet you there once we finish."

Werxa looked at Roan with some concern. Still, he sighed in the end and warned Huan.

"I want to send this youngster to the next competition between the other nations of the world, so you better not do anything to him, okay?"

Roan told Rean about the offer he received, so they knew what Werxa was talking about.

Huan was losing his patience already.

"Just get the fuck out, will you?"

Werxa then got up and walked to the exit. Of course, he didn't leave the mansion. He only went to a place where Huan wouldn't complain if he was waiting.

Huan finally let a sigh of relief as he looked at the twins.

"So you two are the Dark and Light Element users. I heard in my reports that you two were born with some kind of spiritual link, is that right?"

It wasn't any secret that Rean and Roan could exchange their elements, so they simply nodded. Soon after, their hairs changed into a mix of white and dark as they manipulated both elements at the same time.

"Indeed, we were born this way. As to why it happened, we don't know. Still, it's a very convenient thing."

Huan nodded.

"I can understand why there are some people interested in you. Thanks to that, you became dual-element users way before entering the Foundation Establishment or Core Formation Realm. Even now, you don't need to worry about getting used to a second element. It is part of your constitution already. That means you can start getting used to a third element as if it was your second one."

Huan's Spiritual Sense entered the twins' bodies. Still, he couldn't help but become surprised by what he saw.

"What a sturdy foundation. Both your bones and organs are above those at your level as well. Really impressive. If I'm not wrong, ordinary Late-Stage Core Formation Realm cultivators shouldn't be much of an issue to you two, right?"

Rean and Roan nodded. Well, if they go all out and work together, they could even fight Core and Soul Fusion Realm experts at the initial stage.

Huan looked at the two for a while longer before finally mentally admitting.

'No wonder he took a liking to you two. Could it be that you two are somehow related to that prophecy?'

Huan quickly came back to himself as he said.

"Very well, I got what I wanted already. Go ahead, what do you want to talk with me about?"

Roan was the first one to respond.

"We know that our Dalamu Sect has become one of the triggers for the war after we developed the Communication System. That being said, I would like to hear your opinion about what will happen in the fight for the throne. At the very least, how long you think it will take for the emperor to make a decision."

Huan was surprised to hear that. However, he also knew of the communication system and the repercussions it brought up. He just didn't expect that these two young boys would bring this kind of issue up. After all, a sect would try to keep this kind of situation out of the ears of such young geniuses like them.

"Why should I tell you about the Imperial Family? This would be seen as an act of betrayal, you know?"

Rean shook his head in response.

"There is no need to be afraid. I'm marrying Qia, a direct descendant of the Imperial Bloodline. I'm not considered an outsider anymore. It's just that getting this kind of information from someone else would be too biased."

Huan pondered for a bit before laughing.

"It seems like you came well prepared for this chat, huh? Very well, let me tell you what I think."

Rean and Roan were taken aback by that. They didn't really expect Huan to accept that easily. Well, it was still a good thing, so they didn't complain.
