Qingyin looked at the radiant fairy of light before her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She quickly greeted her, "So it's the fairy of light, Bai Guangying! Long time no see, don't you remember me? I'm Qingyin. Ah, that's right, we weren't very familiar with each other back in the fairy realm, so it's normal that you don't remember me. But you're still as beautiful as ever." A smile appeared on Qingyin's face, a smile tinged with bitterness.
"Hehe, so you're Qingyin. What happened to you?" Bai Guangying carefully examined the drastically changed Qingyin, a hint of doubt and sympathy flashing in her eyes. She recalled the kind and bright Qingyin she had met once before; back then, Qingyin was like a blooming flower, full of life and vitality, her blossoms vibrant and fragrant. Now, however, she was so haggard and dejected, like a flower ravaged by a storm, having lost its former luster. "What have you been through? How did you become like this?" Bai Guangying's voice was full of concern.
"Why I've become like this is all thanks to Fairy Xinling," Qingyin said, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes. Her voice grew low, like dark clouds obscuring the sun. "Before, some other fairies and I joined Fairy Xinling's camp to rebel against the Queen. We thought it was a righteous choice, but in the end, she abandoned us. She took the fairies she trusted and lived a very good life in the human world, while we rebels were all turned into stone statues or soulless phantom beasts by the Queen. I struggled in darkness for a long time before recently regaining my life. It's all Fairy Xinling's fault. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be like this." Tears welled up in Qingyin's eyes, memories of her painful past.
After listening, Bai Guangying was at a loss for words. She gently flapped her wings, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes—sympathy, helplessness, and感慨 (a feeling of mixed emotions). After a moment of silence, she silently flew back to Gao Taiming's side, her eyes dimming, like a brilliant star that had lost its light.
"Gao Taiming, are you also a Ye Luoli warrior?" Wen Qian asked casually, curious about his allegiance. Her eyes held a hint of expectation, hoping that Gao Taiming would stand on the same side as her. That expectation was like a ray of dawn in the darkness.
"Ye Luoli warriors? Oh, you mean Wang Mo, Chen Sisi, and their group? I'm quite different from them." Gao Taiming replied after frowning slightly and thinking for a moment, a lollipop dangling from his mouth.
Upon hearing his reply, Wenxi's eyes flashed with surprise, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly as she said happily, "Then you're on the Queen's side, just like me." After saying that, she took a few steps closer to Gao Taiming, each step filled with eagerness, as if she had found a like-minded partner.
"No, I'm free. I don't help either side. I just do things for fun," Gao Taiming said nonchalantly, reaching out to block Wen Qian from walking towards him.
"Then you can play by yourself. I have important things to do." Wen Qian curled her lip and rolled her eyes after hearing Gao Taiming's reply, not wanting to pay any more attention to this young master. She thought Gao Taiming's detached attitude was childish. She didn't have time to waste with him now. She had more important things to do, which was to save Shu Yan. She wanted to prove herself, and her determination was as hard as steel.
"Hey, you must know why Chen Sisi and the others didn't come to class today! Sigh, I can't bully them, school is so boring." Gao Taiming put his hands in his pockets, looking at Wen Qian with a bored expression, trying to get the answer from her. His handsome face had a childlike willfulness, as if bullying Chen Sisi and the others was his only fun at school, a willfulness like that of a spoiled child.
"Wait, you said you bullied them, but they went to Fairyland." Wen Qian's interest was piqued by Gao Taiming, and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips as she directly told him the answer. She thought that if Gao Taiming knew that Wang Mo and the others had gone to Fairyland, he might cause trouble, which would be even better. There was a hint of conspiracy hidden in that mischievous smile.
"Fairyland? What kind of place is that?" Gao Taiming asked, his eyes wide with curiosity. His previously languid gaze instantly brightened, like a kitten that had discovered a new toy, its eyes sparkling with excitement.
Bai Guangying crossed her arms and kindly told her master the answer: "That's where I was born! There are beautiful flowers, magical spells, and all sorts of interesting fairies there." Her eyes sparkled with nostalgia, as if she could already see the dreamlike scenery of the fairyland, a scene that unfolded before her eyes like a magnificent and colorful painting.
Gao Taiming's eyes immediately lit up with interest: "That seems quite interesting. What are they going to Fairyland for?" An excited smile appeared on his face, and he began to imagine the wonders of Fairyland in his mind. The imagination ran wild in his mind like a runaway horse.
"They seem to have found a way to wake Shuyan. I need to go help Shuyan too. I can't let them steal the spotlight." Wen Qian's eyes flashed with tenderness as she thought of Shuyan, but it was quickly replaced by determination. She clenched her fists tightly, as if declaring war on an unseen enemy. She would never allow Wang Mo and the others to take all the credit for saving Shuyan. Her determination was as firm as an unyielding mountain.
"Shu Yan?" Gao Taiming recalled the name Chen Sisi had been mentioning. "That piques my interest."
Suddenly, the mirror in Wenxi's hand emitted a dazzling light. Wenxi saw that the passage to the mirror space had been opened, and an excited smile appeared on her face, a smile like a blooming flower. Not wanting to waste any more time, she hurriedly chanted the spell: "Ye Luoli magic, mirror passage, take me to the fairyland!" A dazzling light emanated from the mirror passage that slowly appeared on the ground, the light as brilliant as the sun, illuminating everything around, the light like a beacon of hope.
Wenxi excitedly put the mirror away and walked eagerly toward the passage. Her steps were light and hurried, like a little bird returning to its nest. Before leaving, she didn't forget to say to Gao Taiming, "I'm leaving."
Gao Taiming looked at Bai Guangying beside him, raised his eyebrows, and asked with excitement in his eyes, "Want to join in the fun?"
Bai Guangying happily twirled in the air, her radiance becoming even more dazzling, like a brilliant star, and replied, "Great! I haven't been back to Fairyland for a long time. I really want to see if anything has changed there."
After Gao Taiming said "Let's go," he quickly caught up with Wen Qian and stopped her. "What's your name again? Something like Xi, right? Let's go together." His tone was casual, as if it were just a spur-of-the-moment decision, like picking up a pebble from the roadside.
Wenxi opened her mouth in surprise, a flash of anger in her eyes, then her face turned red with rage: "My name is Wenxi, what a nice name! You should remember my name, you rude guy!" She struggled hard, trying to break free from Gao Taiming's grasp, but Gao Taiming was too strong. She was like a trapped bird, being pulled step by step towards the passage, her struggles seeming somewhat futile.
Gao Taiming, Wen Qian, and their group went straight into the Queen's palace through the passage, where they happened to run into Jian Peng and his group, who were standing confidently in front of a mirror discussing how to enter the mirror space to save Shu Yan, Wang Mo, and Chen Sisi.
