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

【Fairyland, Lingxi Pavilion】

Before they knew it, it was time to select the head of Lingxi Pavilion. Early in the morning, many fairies arrived at the outer hall of Lingxi Pavilion.

They stood in small groups, whispering about the upcoming selection of the Pavilion Master:

"This election of the Lingxi Pavilion is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity to make a name for ourselves in the fairy realm!" a little fairy said with a slightly excited voice.

“Yes, yes,” the other fairies echoed.

"If we join, and have the support of the Lingxi Pavilion, that would be..." Another fairy thought even deeper and couldn't help but feel excited.

But his excitement didn't last long before his companion poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "What a pity, I'm afraid the competition will be fierce. I heard that several Saint-level fairies have come."

"Saint-level fairies are indeed terrifying. Thinking back to the battle between the Fire Lord and the Golden Prince a while ago, I still feel lingering fear."

"What happened to them afterward?" the gossipy fairy couldn't help but ask.

"The specifics are unclear, but I heard that Prince Jin seems to have disappeared..."

……

Unlike these little fairies, the powerful Saint-level fairies sat casually on the rest seats in the corner of the hall, observing their surroundings without making a sound.

Yan Jue was sitting in his seat in the main hall, leisurely pouring tea and sipping it alone, waiting for the election to begin.

He could sense that there were quite a few Saint-level fairies here for the selection today, so it seemed like it would be a very fierce competition.

After a long while, Yan Jue, seeing that the time was almost up, put down his teacup, leaped to the center of the hall, and said:

"Dear candidates, the time has come. Let's begin today's selection process as soon as possible."

"I am unworthy, but I have been appointed as the master of ceremonies for this session by the members of the previous Lingxi Pavilion."

As he spoke, Yan Jue bowed slightly to the crowd and continued his introduction:

"The Lingxi Pavilion has been protecting the power of the Lingxi and maintaining the balance for a long time."

"Gentlemen, who among you is fortunate enough to become a Pavilion Master of the Lingxi Pavilion alongside me, and together safeguard the power of the Lingxi?"

"There are still seven Lingxi Pavilion Masters remaining, and the positions are waiting to be filled."

Yan Jue's voice attracted everyone's attention. They all held their breath and silently prepared for the final selection.

Yan Jue looked around and nodded in satisfaction. Then he waved his fan and cast a spell to summon seven exquisite teacups, which were held aloft by his immortal power and floated quietly in the air.

"The magic of Ye Luoli, the spirit of the spirit, is endless! A cup of clear tea is poured in."

Yan Jue waved his fan again, and several streams of light green water fell into the seven teacups respectively:

"Let's decide in the simplest way: only those who can drink Lingxi Pavilion tea by their own ability can become the Pavilion Master."

"Anyone who can accept seven cups of tea, regardless of their background, is the head of the Lingxi Pavilion."

After the introductions, Yan Jue deliberately used his magical powers to scatter the teacups, sparking a scramble among the fairies:

"Tea is served, everyone please accept it!"

Upon seeing the teacup fly towards them, the fairies quickly began to scramble for it—

"its mine!"

"mine!"

At that moment, a fairy wearing a large black cloak stretched out her hand, and the pocket watch in her hand lit up:

"Yeloli magic, the long river of time, stop!"

As she cast her spell, a massive time magic circle formed, and within its embrace, everyone and the seven teacups were completely frozen in place.

Her long robe fell away, revealing the fairy's true face—

She had long, silver-grey hair, wore a magnificent crystal crown, and two thin braids cascaded naturally down her front. Her face was stunningly beautiful, with purple eyes adorned with bright glitter, and a sparkling diamond nose stud that added to her nobility and mystery.

She wore a dazzling blue-purple gown, as radiant as the starry sky, adorned with intricate patterns and sparkling gems that suited her identity as a time fairy and showcased her beauty and wisdom.

She is the Time Princess, Shi Xi, famous throughout the fairyland.

Seeing that everyone was frozen in time by her spell, Shi Xi leisurely walked to the teacup closest to her:

"This cup of still tea is mine now."

Shi Xi elegantly sipped her tea, and at the same time, her photo appeared in the mirror on the wall behind her, which had previously been empty.

Shi Xi then dispelled the time-stopping spell:

"Yeloli magic, four seasons, twenty-four hours, the long river of time, flow!"

Time flowed again, and everyone was free to move around. However, seeing the missing teacups in the room and Shi Xi's image on the wall, Yan Jue immediately understood:

"It seems that Shi Xi used a clever trick."

The others gradually realized what was happening, and some said indignantly:

"They actually took advantage of our unpreparedness and used a clever trick to steal it! That's not fair!"

"Time is fair to everyone." Hearing the accusations, Shi Xi didn't care. He pointed his pocket watch at the person and said, "If you're not satisfied, you can wait until the final leader is decided, and then I'll turn back time and start all over again."

"Huh? Then this will never end?" The fairy, who was just indignant, realized Shi Xi's power and didn't dare to say anything more.
