Invited to the Palace

Pupula visibly froze at his attack, seemingly not expecting him to strike so suddenly.

After the attack, Pupula asked gently, "Are you the newly born Fairy King?" Sen Lijiu nodded without denying it.

Pupula said softly, "Then please come with me to the palace so we can test your attribute." Sen Lijiu said little. He simply extended his spiritual sense to survey the area, then vanished once he had determined the direction. Seeing this, the remaining three did not hesitate either, speeding toward the palace.

A short while later, when they reached the palace, Sen Lijiu was already lounging in a white-and-gold armchair, his tone utterly casual. "So slow~"

His long, silver-white hair fell beside his ears, and his pale fingers brushed over the armrest. The white-and-gold chair lent an even more divine air to the already exceptionally beautiful Sen Lijiu. Flecks of golden light surrounded him, as though he were the true master of this palace.

The three newcomers were spellbound by this beautiful sight. It took them quite some time to remember what they had come to do.

Edwin's expression remained unchanged, but the faint redness at the tips of his ears betrayed how unsettled he felt.

Whatever the three were thinking, all Sen Lijiu saw was them standing there staring at him, which was very rude. As for what was on their minds? He had no intention of caring. He only concerned himself with his family's affairs and had no energy to spare for anyone else. So Sen Lijiu asked impatiently, "How much longer are you going to stand there? When does the test start?"

Pupula was the first to recover and spoke softly. "There's no need to rush. We'll get everything ready for you right away. Edwin and Dai Weiwei will take you to the Glory Flower shortly to test your attribute."

Seeing the confusion on Sen Lijiu's face, Edwin spoke up, which was rare for him.

"The Glory Flower is extremely important. Not only can it test attributes, but it can also give attributes to Fairy Kings who have none."

"What's more, it can choose who becomes a Fairy King, deciding at birth who will become one."

"Of course, that also includes those who become Fairy Kings through their own cultivation."

"You'll learn the rest when you see the Glory Flower."

"In addition, the Glory Flower can test whether someone has the potential to become a Fairy King."

"The Glory Flower can also decide matters both great and small in the Flower Fairy Kingdom."

Pupula and Dai Weiwei were puzzled. They had never heard him say so much before, but they did not dwell on it.

Pupula, the Flower Goddess, told the two of them to take Sen Lijiu to the Glory Flower.

On the way, Edwin felt irritated for no apparent reason. Even looking at Dai Weiwei made him uncomfortable, as though he did not want her to come along with them.

He deliberately sped up and flew ahead. Sen Lijiu naturally had no trouble keeping up, but Dai Weiwei was not so fortunate. She was already no match for Edwin and was soon left behind, gradually disappearing from sight...

Even after flying for so long, Sen Lijiu had not noticed that they were missing a person—or rather, a flower fairy. Even if he had noticed, he would not have cared. After all, they barely knew one another, so it was perfectly normal for him not to concern himself with a stranger.

When they passed the Ancient Spirit Fairy Clan along the way, Edwin actually began telling Sen Lijiu about it.

This considerably improved Sen Lijiu's impression of this "thoughtful flower fairy."

Edwin was famously aloof. He ignored everyone, and even with Pupula, he exchanged only a few brief words. He was almost never this warm. Unfortunately, Dai Weiwei was not there to see it, or her jaw would surely have dropped. (Note: At this point, the Ancient Spirit Fairy Clan had not yet fallen into decline, so Edwin had nothing he needed to ask of Pupula. He was only seeking a better future while also remaining undercover at her side.)
