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

"The last two spots are ours!"

Huo Liaoye understood and rushed directly towards the black-clad fairy who had been standing silently in the corner, while Meng Yi went straight for Bing Lixue.

"its mine!"

Huo Liaoye rushed towards the black-clad fairy, and just as he was about to touch the cup in front of her, a determined smile appeared on his face.

"I'm sorry, Fire Lord, you'll be disappointed!" The black-clad fairy, who had been silent all along, stretched out her hand and used magic to suck the cup away from a distance.

"What? The cup has been sucked away!" Just as Huo Liaoye was about to succeed, the cup in front of him was sucked into the hands of the man in black.

"Who are you!" Huo Liaoye had never seen anyone with such power before, and for a moment he dared not make any rash moves.

The black-clad fairy, holding the cup, waved his scepter, and his black robe vanished, revealing his true form—

He had long, silver-gray princess-cut hair, and a pair of dark gray eyes hidden behind large silver-gray frames, as unfathomable as black holes. His skin was pale, and he was thin. He wore a dark black leather coat, with silver-patterned leather armor draped over his shoulders. Behind him was a long, dark red cloak, and the dark black cane he was leaning on was his magic staff.

This person is none other than the Imperial Prince Li Hui, who wields the power of dark matter.

"Prince Li Hui? He's here too?"

Yan Jue glanced at Li Hui, then at Shi Xi, and couldn't help but tease:

"You people usually seem so mysterious and aloof, but you're actually all very proactive."

"Because I have some research to do, and I want to figure out some things," Li Hui said indifferently.

"You yourself are the biggest mystery, and there are still things you can't figure out?" Shi Xi couldn't help but laugh and tease when he saw his old friend.

"I dare not claim to be a mystery, but I myself am not clear about the limits of my power." As Li Hui spoke, he cast a spell to summon a black hole and took the cup into it.

"No!" Huo Liaoye raised his hand, gathered the power of flames, and rushed over, trying to stop Li Hui from taking the cup.

"Fire Lord, let me send you on your way." Seeing Huo Liaoye rushing towards him, he turned his scepter and summoned a black hole to send Huo Liaoye inside.

"Where is this? Black hole space, lunar ruins?" Before Huo Liaoye could even regain his footing, he had already been transported to a very desolate place.

Huo Liaoye realized he had been ambushed and angrily said:

"How dare you mock me like this!"

As Li Hui used the black hole to bring the cup to another space, he also secured a spot.

--the other side--

"Ice Princess, hand over that cup of tea in your hand." Seeing Huo Liaoye go to find Li Hui, Meng Yi went straight to Bing Lixue.

To prevent Bing Lixue from drinking the tea, Mengyi deliberately threatened, "Otherwise, I can't guarantee your brother won't wake up."

Meng Yi's words were naturally meant to deceive Bing Lixue. She only wanted to obtain the position of Lingxi Pavilion Master, so there was no need for her to lure Shui Qingli into falling into the dream forever.

Moreover, if they become colleagues in the future, seeing each other all the time, it will be very difficult for her to do many things if she really wants to be ruthless.

However, she believed that given the bond between Bing Shui and her brother, Bing Lixue would never disregard Shui Qingli's safety, even if it was just a scam, Bing Lixue would certainly not dare to gamble.

As expected, upon hearing Meng Yi's words, Bing Lixue immediately gave up resisting. She withdrew her hands, which were about to cast a spell, and gave up the teacup, firmly protecting Shui Qingli behind her back.

"Fine, I'll protect my brother, so I won't participate in the selection for the Lingxi Pavilion Master. Princess Meng, I hope you keep your word. If you dare to harm my brother, I won't let you get away with it!"

In Bing Lixue's heart, neither the position of Lingxi Pavilion Master nor the responsibility of protecting the balance of the fairy realm could compare to Shui Qingli's safety.

As for becoming the head of the Lingxi Pavilion, Bing Lixue was not interested in it at all. She only participated in the selection because Shui Qingli wanted to become the head of the pavilion, so she came along with her.

Although she didn't want Mengyi to become the Pavilion Master, the current situation left her with no choice.

[LiLi's Words]

Lili made a change here, not having A Bing and Meng Yi fight. Lili always felt that Meng Yi, as a recurring villain in the side stories, didn't need to have so much martial virtue. Wouldn't it be easier to just use Shui Shui, who was controlled by the Nightmare Technique, to threaten A Bing?

Looking closely at Li Hui's character model, that's... a princess cut? ⊙▽⊙
