Chapter 136 Each Their Own Secrets
【Fairyland, Lingxi Pavilion】
Wang Mo borrowed the power of the Spirit Rhinoceros, and then a troublesome thing happened—
"With the blessing of the Spiritual Rhinoceros Power, this battle should be over soon." Yan Jue leaned against his own statue, lightly waving his fan, his gaze casually sweeping over the other seven statues: "Which Pavilion Master will go and retrieve the Spiritual Rhinoceros Power?"
“Of course Princess Ling should go.” Pang Zun pushed the responsibility to Hua Ling without hesitation: “After all, this human was brought by the Mother of Life, so she should handle the aftermath herself.”
"Princess Ling, what's your opinion?" Yan Jue thought Pang Zun's words made sense, so he turned to ask Hua Ling.
"No!" Before Hua Ling could speak, Shi Xi spoke up to refuse on her behalf.
After all, the only people who know that Hua Ling is trapped in the Flower Sea Tide and can't get out are Shui, the mastermind behind the scenes, Qing Li, Hua Ling, and Shi Xi, who has always wanted to rescue Hua Ling.
Shi Xi and Hua Ling both felt that this secret must not be discovered, otherwise, unscrupulous people might take advantage of the situation and make a big fuss, and Hua Ling's safety would be hard to guarantee.
Besides their close personal relationship, Hua Ling is, after all, the mother of life, and has a special status, so Shi Xi felt that protecting her safety was her duty.
"Oh?" Yan Jue was very surprised to hear Shi Xi's words.
Apart from Yan Jue and Shui Qingli, the other pavilion masters were also stunned. They didn't expect that Shi Xi, who was always indifferent to worldly affairs, would make such a firm decision for others.
“After all, Ling is the mother of life. If Mandora has any schemes against her, it would be a very dangerous situation,” Shi Xi said in a calm voice.
"Impossible, right? It's a consensus in the Fairy Realm that we can't harm the Mother of Life..." Yan Jue didn't expect Shi Xi to have this kind of thought.
"Are you questioning time?" Shi Xi said coldly.
"Uh...no," Yan Jue said, slightly embarrassed.
Although the stone statue had no expression, Yan Jue seemed to see Shi Xi's always calm and expressionless face through it.
Yan Jue pondered for a moment. Surely Shi Xi had foreseen what would happen in the future before saying those words? Could Mandora really be plotting against the Mother of Life?
Meanwhile, Shui Qingli, who was standing to the side, smiled without making a sound as she watched Shi Xi, who was pretending to be calm.
Is life truly like a play, where everything depends on acting skills?
"Since it's inconvenient for Princess Ling to go to the human world, then let me go instead." Seeing the several pavilion masters facing off, Shui Qingli casually suggested that she go and retrieve the power of the Spirit Rhinoceros.
"Shui Shui, you...?" Upon hearing this, Yan Jue was shocked once again.
First, Shi Xi inexplicably and suddenly stopped Hua Ling from retrieving the power of the Spirit Rhinoceros, and then Shui Qingli volunteered to retrieve the power of the Spirit Rhinoceros...
Whether it's Shi Xi or Shui Qingli, are they the kind of people who like to meddle in other people's business? When faced with troublesome matters, don't they always try to push the blame onto the emcee?
Yan Jue fell into deep thought. Why did these pavilion masters seem so strange today? Was he overthinking it?
Knowing nothing, Yan Jue fell into a peculiar state of self-doubt.
“In that case, I suggest that the Master of Ceremonies and the Water Prince go together to retrieve the power of the Spirit Rhinoceros,” said Poisonous Lady Du Xifei, who had been silent since the Spirit Rhinoceros Trial.
"Poisonous Lady, are you questioning my strength?" Shui Qingli said unhappily.
His displeasure did not stem from the disbelief of the other pavilion masters, but rather from the fact that if Yan Jue were to go along, his chances of obtaining the Lingxi Token would be virtually zero.
"That's not what I meant. It's just that the importance of the Spiritual Power goes without saying, and everyone here knows that."
Du Xifei knew that her words might cause Shui Qingli to misunderstand, but she still insisted on her opinion:
"Imagine if that human were to lose the battle due to improper use of the power, the two leaders going together could prevent others (especially Mandora) from coveting the power of the Spirit Rhinoceros."
“I agree,” Pang Zun echoed. “After all, the power of the Spirit Rhinoceros is related to the balance and stability between the human world and the immortal realm. I am also not at ease handing it over to humans like this.”
"Moreover, as the master of ceremonies, Yan Jue is the one who should protect the power of the Spirit Rhinoceros the most." Shi Xi agreed, since as long as the Spirit Princess wasn't sent, everything would be fine.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Yan Jue helplessly smoothed things over as usual: "It seems we can't avoid this trouble today. Shui Shui, let's go to the human world together later. At least we have to make sure that the power of the Spirit Rhinoceros doesn't fall into the hands of others."
"Whatever you want." Shui Qingli's voice was indifferent. Since things had come to this point, he didn't want to fight anymore, otherwise it would seem too deliberate.
