Everyone looked at Ye Yunjian, their eyes filled with shock.

Bai Yueling whispered to Ye Yunjian.

Bai Yueling: Miss, can you smell it clearly?

Ye Yunjian: Just remember it.

Bai Yueling hurriedly wrote it down.

Xuan Ye Official: Time's up. All Xuan Ye friends, please hand in your papers.

The servants came forward and collected everyone's papers. Bai Yueling anxiously clasped her hands together in prayer.

Bai Yueling: Amitabha, Amitabha, I must pass this time, I must pass.

After verifying the information, Xuan Yeguan walked to the center.

Genye-kan: Second round: Family, island nation Genkiko, young lady cleared.

Xuan Yeguan glanced at Ye Yunjian and threw another carrier pigeon out of the courtyard and released it.

Bai Yueling hugged Ye Yunjian with joy, her eyes brimming with tears.

Bai Yueling: Thank you, flowers.

Ye Yunjian looked at Shima Genkiko again, and at the same time, Shima Genkiko also looked at Ye Yunjian.

Hua Yingzi: It seems that the Bai family and this young lady are not as fallen and incompetent as the intelligence described. (Her eyes are firm)

(Touching the bracelet) Father, your daughter will surely bring the Mysterious Leaf Dragon Pearl back to the island nation. The battle for supremacy at Jinxiu is just around the corner.

Outside the Royal Palace - Daytime - King, Queen, Ministers, Eunuchs, Palace Maids, Guards

Several

A carrier pigeon flew in, and the old eunuch hurriedly took down the letter to check it, then looked at the king, queen, and ministers standing at the entrance of the main hall.

They ran off.

Old eunuch: Your Majesty, in the second round of the contest to identify Xuan Ye Fang, the relative has passed.

King Xuanxing: Good! It seems that this precious dragon pearl will still belong to my Xuanxing Kingdom.

Ministers: Good!

Xuanxing King: Who else has passed the second round of the competition?

Old eunuch: Island girl, Gen Akiko.

Xuanxing King: (frowning slightly) It's the Shimamura family again. And who is this young lady?

Old eunuch: This old servant dares not say.

Xuanxing King: (Thinking) Young Miss? (Realizing, shocked) The Bai family!

Scene 09, Inside the Lakeside Pavilion - Day - Ye Yunjian, Relatives, Dao Xuanqiuzi, Bai Yueling, Xuan Yeguan

Xuan Ye Daoist Master, guards, servants, and a number of commoners.

The servants carried in a table and placed it in the center of the pavilion, on which were placed the tools for burning black leaves.

Xuan Ye Official: Third Round of Competition: Battle of Xuan Ye. Following the theme of the Flower Queen announced at the beginning of the year, all Xuan Ye enthusiasts are requested to bring out their prepared Xuan Ye, and everyone will compete...

All opinions.

Xuan Ye Guan pointed his palm-leaf fan towards the entrance of the pavilion. The guards let them through, and the people came in and gathered around the pavilion.

Bai Yueling glanced at the people around the pavilion, feeling somewhat nervous, and silently prayed in her heart.

Bai Yueling: Father, please bless Hua'er from heaven.

Bai Yueling opened the bundle, only to find that Xuan Ye was missing, and began frantically searching for him.

Bai Yueling: Where did the black leaves made by Hua'er go? How could Hua'er's black leaves disappear?

Xuan Yeguan shook his head at Bai Yueling, then turned to bow to his relatives.

Xuan Ye Guan: Chief, please.

The relative took the guzheng and walked towards the altar, causing the onlookers to become excited. The relative sat on the altar, took out some black leaves, and burned them.

He began to play the zither, and everyone was captivated.

Genye-guan: Excellent, wonderful! It's perfect timing, with chrysanthemums in full bloom and black leaves in autumn.

Everyone: (in unison) Good.

After the music ends, relatives and friends should step down.

Shima Genkiko slowly walked to the table and sat down. She took out a piece of black leaf, burned it, and began to dance gracefully. She shook her bracelet, and the bells jingled...

The powder was released, and the people inhaled it and began to dance along.

Xuan Ye Guan: This Xuan Ye should only exist in heaven. This is the Xuan Ye of the peony, the king of flowers.

Everyone: (in unison) Good.

Relative: (in shock) Peonies bloom in spring, but it is autumn now. How is it possible that there are no spring flowers to attract them?

Xuan Yeguan looked at his relative, who was slumped in a chair, with a worried expression on his face.

Xuan Ye Official: (OS) Everyone in Jinxiu cultivates and processes Xuan Ye, which is why Xuan Ye is famous both at home and abroad. This is all thanks to the national treasure, the Dragon Pearl. If...

If we lose to the island nation today and the Dragon Ball is taken away, the tens of thousands of people in Jinxiu may no longer be able to make a living.

Even after the dance, some people were still dancing.

Bai Yueling: (Dejectedly) The flowers have lost.

Bai Yueling got up to leave, but Ye Yunjian stopped her.

Ye Yunjian: Don't you want to win?

Everyone turned to look at Ye Yunjian.

Ye Yunjian: (To Xuan Ye Guan) Is there a time limit for this round of fighting Xuan Ye?

Xuan Ye Guan: None.

Ye Yunjian: Alright, please give me the time it takes for a stick of Xuan Ye to burn.

Ye Yunjian took out Bai Yueling's tools for making Xuan leaves and calmly began to make Xuan leaves.

Gen Ye-gwan: (OS) If this young lady can win, it will be a great blessing for Jinxiu!

Ye Yunjian took out the Mysterious Leaf Water from his person and dripped it into the Mysterious Leaf recipe. A moment later, Ye Yunjian finished the Mysterious Leaf recipe, and under everyone's watchful eyes,

He carried the prepared Xuan Ye (a type of herbal tea) to the table and burned it. Everyone savored it carefully, their expressions filled with shock.

Xuan Ye Guan: It refers to the plum blossom with dark leaves, the queen of flowers, and the eldest daughter wins.

The crowd surged forward, cheering. Surrounded by the crowd, Bai Yueling seemed bewildered, not quite understanding what was happening. To one side, Shimamura Hana...

He smiled and calmly left.

Genye-gwan picked up the carrier pigeon and released it outside the courtyard. Scene 10, Outside the Royal Palace Platform - Day - King, Queen, Ministers, Eunuchs, Palace Maids, Guards

Several

A carrier pigeon flew in, and the old eunuch hurriedly took down the letter to check it.

King Xuanxing: (To the old eunuch) Who won this final round of the competition?

The old eunuch looked terrified and hurriedly knelt on the ground. Everyone became anxious and began to speculate.

Minister: Could it be the leader?

Minister B: Could it be a woman from a foreign country?

Old eunuch: This old servant...

King Xuanxing: Speak quickly, I command you to speak.

Old eunuch: She is the eldest daughter of the Bai family.

Everyone was shocked. Scene 11, Royal City Market - Outside - Day - Ye Yunjian, Bai Yueling, A Cong, Xuan Yeguan, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Attendant

Wei, a number of common people

Guards and Xuan Yeguan led the way, while Ye Yunjian and Bai Yueling, adorned with large red flowers, rode their fine horses through the streets, enthusiastically waving to the people on either side.

They waved to each other. In the crowd, the second and third uncles stood on tiptoe to look around.

Third Uncle: Second Brother, who won first place?

Second Uncle was somewhat incredulous when he saw Ye Yunjian sitting on a fine horse.

Second Uncle: The one sitting on horseback is Jinliang! Am I seeing things?

Beside him, Ah Cong ate a candied hawthorn, looking at Ye Yunjian with a strange smile. Scene 12, Main Hall of the Li Mansion - Interior - Day - Old Madam, Ah Cong, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, and several servants

In the magnificent main hall of the royal palace, the matriarch, dressed in luxurious attire, sat on a grand chair, a dragon-headed cane exuding wealth and power, flanked by two other figures.

Seeing his second and third aunts, everyone's faces were serious. Ah Cong walked in.

Old lady: (tapping her cane) How is it?

Ah Cong: Grandma, the family has lost!

Everyone was shocked. Scene 13, Outside the Palace Gate - Night - Ye Yunjian, Xuan Yeguan, Bai Yueling, and several guards

Xuan Yeguan led Ye Yunjian and Bai Yueling to the palace gate, where a guard with a sword reached out to stop them.

Xuan Ye Guan took out the token, and the guards hurriedly bowed after checking it.

Chief Guard: Lord Genye. (To his subordinates) Open the door!

As the palace gates in front of them opened, the inner palace gates also opened, and Xuan Yeguan led Ye Yunjian and Bai Yueling inside.
