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

"Peacock, how could you..." Xin Ling looked at the blue peacock in disbelief. She finally understood why Bai Guangying was so angry.

In the fairy realm, even those with the same attributes will have their own unique magic, so each fairy will protect their magic very carefully.

Of course, this excludes those with mirror-like constitutions like Mandora and Blue Peacock. Apart from mirror magic, they don't have their own spells, but they happen to have a bug-like spell like Mirror Image, so they always try to steal other people's spells to enhance themselves.

This is also why the fairies all hate Mandora.

Of course, if the news that the Blue Peacock also has a mirror-like constitution were to spread, then there would likely be two fairies who would be disliked.

"I was born with a mirror-like constitution, it's not like I wanted to have this ability," the blue peacock said stubbornly. "I just wanted to use your magic, is that really such a huge mistake?"

"You do have a mirror constitution," Bing Lixue said coldly, "but instead of thinking about how to improve your own strength, you're always thinking about stealing other people's spells. Isn't that wrong?"

“Our magic isn’t something we’re born with; it’s the result of our own diligent practice.” Shui Qingli thought about how much time she had wasted, yet she still hadn’t fully mastered the “Water Codex,” and she really couldn’t understand this kind of behavior that only wanted to gain without effort.

Stealing other people's spells is certainly the simplest way to increase one's strength, but how can one master other people's spells with just a mirror spell?

"Peacock, how could you secretly steal someone else's magic?" Seeing that things hadn't gotten out of hand yet, Xinling immediately made up her mind and scolded Blue Peacock: "Quickly return the magic you mirrored!"

Xin Ling knew that if she hadn't been the one to criticize Lan Kongque, things would have been difficult to resolve today, and she also wanted to completely extricate herself from the matter.

“Fairy Xinling…” Blue Peacock looked at Xinling in shock, thinking that Xinling would understand her.

Seeing that Xinling and Mandora were about to engage in a great battle, but there were too few fairies who had sided with Xinling, and most of them were little fairies, who had almost no chance of winning against Mandora.

She secretly used the Mirror Image spell, partly out of personal motives, but wasn't the main reason she wanted to help Xinling fight against Mandora?

"Ye Luoli Magic, Light Trace Century, Spell Recall!" Bai Guangying didn't want to waste any more words with Lan Kongque and directly forcibly recalled the spells that Lan Kongque had copied.

As she cast her spell, the shadow magic of the Blue Peacock Mirror was drawn away from her, transforming into a small, purplish-black ball of magical light that landed in Bai Guangying's hand.

However, she hadn't figured out how to deal with the mirrored spell yet, so she put it away for the time being.

"Ye Luoli Magic, Frosty Ice, Like Snow Crystals! Book of Destiny!" Bing Lixue cast a spell, and a blue Book of Destiny fell into her hand under the guidance of fairy power. She opened the Book of Destiny and retrieved the ice and snow magic within.

After this incident, Bing Lixue dared not store her magic in the Floating Cloud Tower anymore, otherwise she would never know if it would be stolen by someone else one day.

Seeing Bing Lixue's wary expression, Xin Ling could only smile wryly.

Ultimately, it was her fault as the gatekeeper that made her unqualified, and because Blue Peacock followed her, she was also suspected.

"Although the spell has been retrieved, you can't just let this go!" Bing Lixue raised her hand and continued casting a spell on Lan Kongque's frozen hand: "Ye Luoli Magic, Frosty Floating, Like Snow Crystals, Freezing to the Freeze!"

"What..." Before Blue Peacock could speak, she was frozen by Bing Lixue's magic.

"Ice Princess, please don't hurt the peacock!" Xin Ling, who was almost hit by Bing Lixue's magic, realized that every Saint-level fairy was terrifying, and even Bing Lixue, who was rumored to be weakening, was not someone to be trifled with.

"I'm just freezing her for seven days. The spell will naturally dissipate after that time," Bing Lixue said calmly.

"Since Sister Bing has already punished the thief for me, I will no longer hold this matter against her." Bai Guangying retracted her Blade of Light.

"Now that it's resolved, let's go," Bing Lixue suggested, then looked at Shui Qingli, who seemed to be deep in thought: "Brother?"

"Yes, I'm here..." Shui Qingli came back to her senses: "Then let's leave. Xinling, take care of yourself!"

Before leaving Fuyun Tower, Shui Qingli glanced at the densely packed bookshelves and frowned slightly.

As soon as Shui Qingli entered the Floating Cloud Tower, she sensed two forbidden forces, but she was too busy with the Blue Peacock stealing the magic to investigate further.

Now that I think about it, one of those two forbidden powers must be Xingchen, the ninth-order magician who was ambushed and imprisoned, while the other, which was somewhat intermittent but extremely powerful... what could it be?
