Ye Luoli: The tides rise and fall, the moon whispers softly.

As time passed day by day, while Shui Qingli locked herself in the Water Linglong Palace, studying the "Water Codex" day and night, the fairyland quietly began to change its peaceful state:

Fire Lord Huo Liaoye and Prince Jin Litong fought fiercely over who was the strongest war god in the fairy realm, causing widespread devastation. In the end, Prince Jin seemed to be defeated and disappeared without a trace.

Recently, a major event that could change the future of the Fairy Realm has been circulating: the much-anticipated ceremony for the change of leadership of the Lingxi Pavilion.

The Lingxi Pavilion is the most powerful organization in the entire fairy realm, composed of eight powerful pavilion masters, all of whom are at least Saint-level fairies.

The eight pavilion masters not only maintain the balance between the fairy realm and the human world, preventing the fairy realm from wantonly influencing the human world, but also protect the spiritual power that is enough to shake the fairy realm generation after generation.

【Fairyland, Ice Crystal River】

The usually quiet and deserted Ice Crystal River suddenly welcomed an uninvited guest today—

The newcomer had long black hair, with striking purplish-red bangs and sideburns. He had two pointed fox ears on his head, along with golden crescent moons adorned with chains, and wore a dazzling array of brightly colored classical clothing.

His amber eyes held a hint of languor, yet they couldn't conceal the scholarly air emanating from him.

"The magic of Ye Luoli, with its bold strokes and delicate colors, adorned with crimson embellishments! Yan Jue, the newly appointed master of ceremonies of the Lingxi Pavilion, is here to pay his respects!"

Yan Jue did not trespass on the Ice Crystal River, but instead presented a visiting card to Bing Lixue, the owner of the Ice Crystal River, according to the customs of the fairyland.

"I wonder what brings the Lingxi Pavilion's master of ceremonies to my Bingjingchuan?" Bing Lixue did not show herself, nor did she invite Yan Jue in.

"I have come here today for the Lingxi Pavilion's leadership election," Yan Jue said slowly, producing his folding fan.

"Wait a moment." After understanding Yan Jue's purpose, Bing Lixue decided to tell Shui Qingli about it first.

"Ye Luoli magic, ice flutters, like snow crystals! Ice and water melt together!"

Bing Lixue cast a spell, using her spiritual connection with Shui Qingli to contact Shui Qingli, who was far away at Jing Shui Lake.

"Little sister, is something the matter?"

Soon, Shui Qingli's voice came over.

"Brother, come to the Ice Crystal Palace immediately." Bing Lixue transmitted her voice, "Yan Jue, the master of ceremonies from the Lingxi Pavilion, just came to my place to discuss the Lingxi Pavilion's leadership election."

"Okay, I'll be right away."

Upon hearing the name "Yan Jue" mentioned by Bing Lixue, Shui Qingli couldn't help but think of her past life once again.

At that time, Shui Qingli was still helping Wang Mo without any limits. When he saw that Bing Lixue had become involved in the dispute between Lingxi Pavilion and Mutian Pavilion, he used his remaining rationality to do his best to prevent Bing Lixue from being in danger, and entrusted her to Yan Jue, hoping that he could take good care of her.

However, in the end, Yan Jue was unable to stop Bing Lixue, who was determined to save Shui Qingli. Instead, he watched helplessly as she disappeared due to the backlash of the magic and went berserk, almost losing her entire primordial spirit.

Shui Qingli's feelings towards Yan Jue were somewhat complicated. Although they were friends before, their identities had long destined them to stand on opposite sides, even to the point of being irreconcilable enemies.

Moreover, Shui Qingli didn't actually want her younger sister to fall in love with Yan Jue again, just like in her previous life. After all, whether it was to change the fate of the fairy realm or for something else, he was destined to return to Mutian Pavilion in the future.

He didn't want Bing Lixue to be caught in the middle, between Mutian Pavilion (Shui Qingli) and Lingxi Pavilion (Yan Jue).

As for Mutian Pavilion... Shui Qingli really didn't understand why she was so afraid of that place where he had stayed for so long in her previous life.

If it was because of fear of the King...

Whether it's the leader of the Sky Pavilion, the World King, or the other Dharma Aspects, they are simply a group of fairies whose strength far surpasses that of ordinary people.

The Fairyland's fear and rejection of them stemmed from their inability to accept the survival-of-the-fittest principle and their fear of the innate power to destroy civilization.

The Ten Dharma Aspects have known and lived together for a long time. Although there is a clear hierarchy, they have long since developed a bond that is very much like that of family. How could they possibly be afraid of each other?

As for the wound on his body, Shui Qingli only thought it was because he had angered the King of the World in his eagerness to escape the forbidden place, so he did not think about it in any other way.

But if it's about being afraid of your other side...

Shui Qingli clearly knew better than anyone that his destructive nature had existed since his birth. Whether the sea was calm or turbulent, both were him.

It's just that Shui Qingli usually has a sense of reason and doesn't like that side of herself.

So why was he so afraid of Mutian Pavilion?

Unable to understand this problem, Shui Qingli could only blame it all on being outmaneuvered by the natural order of the human world.

Note: At this time, Shui Shui did not remember the details between him and the King, and simply thought that they were boss and subordinate.
