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

"Can the Mirror of the Past, which can see all the past events, not the past of its owner?" Shui Qingli murmured to herself, lost in thought.

It was obvious that Shui Qingli had misunderstood Qianqian's guilty conscience, but this did relieve Qianqian.

Since she couldn't tell Shui Qingli the truth anyway, it was best if he misunderstood, so that she wouldn't have to find an excuse to avoid being suspected.

"Water Prince, just as a doctor cannot heal himself, some things can only be resolved by the one who tied the knot." She said with a straight face, "If you want to know about your forgotten past, you'll have to find a solution yourself."

"I understand." Shui Qingli nodded and stopped thinking about it.

Some things really do just fall into place eventually.

[I forgot to mention, Prince Water, if you wish to use the [Mirror of Past Lives], you only need to summon it using magic.]

"Okay, I'll give it a try. Ye Luoli Magic, Mirror of the Past!"

A flash of azure light disappeared in an instant, and a mirror with an azure carved frame suddenly appeared, silently floating in front of him, emitting a faint glow.

Unlike normal mirrors, this mirror has silver-gray lenses and cannot reflect images.

So even though it's called "Mirror of Past Lives," it actually doesn't have much to do with mirrors.

"This is... [The Mirror of Past Lives]?" Shui Qingli reached out and touched the smooth mirror surface, where ripples spread across the silver-gray surface.

"Yes, Prince of Water, when Princess Time tried to use time to investigate your release of the Fire Lord, I used this to block her spell and that's how I didn't expose myself," Qianqian said proudly.

Without her, I really don't know how this great undertaking of rebirth and changing the fate of the fairy realm would have been able to proceed smoothly (* / ? ＼ *)!

Now I am giving you the [Mirror of Past Lives]. You can use it to cast spells to hide your past that you don't want others to know, and you can also use the [Mirror of Past Lives] to see the past of other people.

"Understood." Shui Qingli didn't want others to know his secret, so he immediately cast a spell, trying to use the Mirror of the Past to hide his past: "Ye Luoli Magic, Mirror of the Past, Hide the Past!"

The [Mirror of Past Lives] emitted a dazzling light, and then Shui Qingli was surprised to find that a seemingly invisible barrier had appeared around her.

"This barrier can evade all detection, even the Time Princess's time magic," Qianqian explained to Shui Qingli.

"That's for the best, so that Shi Xi, who has the ability to perceive time, doesn't know too much," Shui Qingli thought to herself.

……

[A fairyland, a wasteland.]

Hua Ling and Shi Xi arrived together in this desolate wilderness, a place rarely visited by humans, within the fairyland.

After Shui Qingli released Huo Liaoye, Shi Xi, sensing that the seal had been broken, immediately rushed to the Fire Rainbow Desert while sending a message to Hua Ling.

It turned out to be a step too late.

Huo Liaoye inexplicably broke through the seal of time and then disappeared without a trace.

Shi Xi used time magic to foresee that Huo Liaoye had come to this wasteland, but no matter how she and Hua Ling used their immortal power to search, they could not find any trace of Huo Liaoye.

"Did he still get away?" Hua Ling said helplessly, "These ancient fairies with natural abilities really come and go without a trace. It's so troublesome."

"We were a step too late. We don't know who helped the Fire Lord break through the seal." Shi Xi was also a little surprised.

"Can't your time magic reveal who's behind this?" Hua Ling asked in surprise.

“No.” Shi Xi sighed softly, “I tried time magic before, but what happened during that time seems to have been hidden by a powerful force, and even I couldn’t detect it.”

"Anyone who can shield themselves from the detection of time magic must be extraordinary. I just hope they're not a bad person." Hua Ling sighed helplessly.

"Should we continue tracking the Fire Lord?"

“Since we can’t catch him, there’s no need to waste any more time.” Shi Xi put away the Time Staff and said to Hua Ling, “The Fire Lord’s Fire Eyes have been taken away, so his strength should be greatly reduced. There’s no need to worry too much.”

“Alright, if he continues to wreak havoc, we’ll settle all old scores with him then.” Hua Ling agreed with Shi Xi’s suggestion: “In that case, I’ll head back to Hua Hai Chao first.”

“Okay, I’m going back to the fourth hour to continue sorting through the river of time,” Shi Xi said. “Contact me again if anything comes up.”

"Ah."

After saying goodbye to Shi Xi, Hua Ling returned directly to her own Flower Sea Tide, unaware of what awaited her...
