The Speaker stood on the high platform, officially opening the meeting and the topic. The entire meeting proceeded very smoothly, and the proposal to activate the Fountain of Life was passed unanimously, with no opposing votes.
As expected, this Fairy Council was merely a formality; it was primarily to inform all Fairy Clans that the Fountain of Life would be reactivated and the Holy Oak would regain vitality. This was a crucial moment tied to the fate of the Fairy Clans, and there was no possibility for anyone to oppose it.
However, just as the meeting was about to conclude, a Lake Fairy stood up. The Speaker looked at this Lake Fairy: "Helena, do you have something to say?"
"Speaker, I have no objections to the activation of the Fountain of Life and the awakening of the Holy Oak. However, I would like to ask if our actions are safe?" Helena, dressed in a white robe, had a refreshing appearance that exuded a natural charm.
The Speaker asked Helena, "What concerns do you have?"
Helena turned to Bai Yujing seated below: "As everyone knows, this ritual is being conducted by these humans below us. The most critical point is that one of these humans possesses divine qualities; only he can activate the Fountain of Life with his closeness to the world and his authority. No one knows whether he will seize control over the Sky Kingdom or the Fountain of Life during the ceremony!"
"Speaker, we Fairy Clans are not subordinates or playthings of any individual, so we absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen!"
Helena's statement immediately sparked discussions among all the council members present. Everyone echoed, "Yes, we absolutely cannot allow this to happen!"
"Humans cannot be trusted; they are greedy beings!"
"Think about the wars they have instigated; their history is a history of warfare!"
Helena's sharp gaze fell on Bai Yujing, noticing that he remained calm and indifferent. She turned to the Speaker and said, "Therefore, I believe our actions carry safety risks!"
The Speaker nodded in agreement and then looked at Bai Yujing: "While I agree with your concerns, I must also ask for Mr. Bai Yujing's opinion."
"Mr. Bai Yujing, do you have anything to say?"
Bai Yujing stood up and walked to the front: "I have a very good plan that can ensure absolute safety and allow all Fairy Clans to set aside their concerns!"
Helena looked at Bai Yujing skeptically: "Human, tell us your method!"
Bai Yujing shouted loudly, "If we do not activate the Fountain of Life, there will be no safety hazards, and we won't have to fear human greed. What's wrong with maintaining the status quo? At least it's safe, right? Humans and the Fairy Clan can coexist peacefully. Thank you all for your hospitality; Fairy Island is a magical and beautiful place. Tomorrow, we humans will return to our world. By the way, I will also leave the Holy Oak staff behind; no humans will come here again!"
Huckman laughed heartily, stood up, and applauded, "What a foolproof idea! Wonderful, brilliant thought!"
Bai Yujing's words instantly silenced the entire theater. Helena's face darkened as she didn't know how to argue back. Bai Yujing and the others could simply walk away, but Fairy Island could not do without the Fountain of Life. The Lake Fairy Clan was already dwindling, and after some time, when the Lake Fairy Clan in this area perished, both the Fairy Clan and the entire Sky Kingdom would truly be finished.
Loran stood up and said to Bai Yujing, "Mr. Bai Yujing, that's not what we mean!"
Bai Yujing nodded, "I understand. However, I believe there is nothing wrong with my statement. We traveled a long way here with the wishes of Lake Fairy Lily. Lake Fairy Lily once vowed to find a way to activate the Fountain of Life. We are here to help you, yet we are treated this way. The so-called Fairy Clan's love for peace and good virtues seems to me nothing more than self-praise!"
"We are not asking for anything. We who extend a helping hand to you are treated this way by the Fairy Clan that has accepted human assistance. Think about it; what position do you have? What reason do you have to doubt us?"
Bai Yujing's remarks made everyone present, including several Lake Fairies, blush as they didn't know how to explain themselves. In this world, Bai Yujing noticed Shen Fei standing up: "He is lying!"
Bai Yujing's expression darkened. At this moment, he had basically convinced the Fairy Clan present, but if one of his own kind stood up to accuse him and doubt him, that was different. Indeed, internal issues were far greater than external hazards.
Because there were Lake Fairies present, even without knowing Lilliputian Language, communication was not an issue. Shen Fei's accusation drew everyone's attention: "He is not as noble as he claims; he came here with ulterior motives!"
Helena asked, "What motives?"
Shen Fei immediately replied decisively, "His initial motive was the Fountain of Life; he is not that selfless. He has been planning for this operation for a long time. Although I don't know if he has other motives, what I want to tell everyone is that this person is untrustworthy!"
Shen Fei then began recounting Bai Yujing's background and experiences without embellishing but omitting certain details while discussing incidents involving Bai Yujing in Neon and Antarctica to prove that Bai Yujing was a ruthless executioner!
"A person whose hands are stained with the blood of his kind, someone with ulterior motives and filled with ambition—if you trust him, think about what kind of situation will arise!"
Shen Fei also stepped onto the stage and passionately began his performance. Although the Lake Fairies present could detect Shen Fei's thoughts and whether he was lying or not, it must be said that Shen Fei's tactic was clever; he did not lie but merely overlooked part of the truth—and indeed Bai Yujing had done all those things.
Everyone looked at Bai Yujing, and a wave of uproar surged through the theater: "A liar, we can't trust him!"
"We absolutely cannot trust someone like this!"
"We cannot entrust our future to such a person!"
Shen Fei laughed triumphantly. In his view, Bai Yujing was bound to fail this time, and once he convinced the Fairy Clan, all subsequent plans would be under the control of Bivis and himself!
However, at that moment, Bai Yujing shouted, "In that case, I request a thought examination!"
Bai Yujing had interacted with the Merfolk and Zhu Wei and was very clear about the abilities of spirits. Unlike Bivis and Shen Fei, who had little understanding, the distrust from the Fairy Clan and Lake Fairy stemmed from their inability to observe Bai Yujing's thoughts or understand his intentions.
The Speaker raised her hand, and the noise in the theater immediately quieted down. She looked at Bai Yujing: "You request a thought examination? This involves consciousness connection and is only applicable among Lake Fairies; it may cause harm to ordinary people!"
Bai Yujing nodded: "I understand. However, I have one requirement: the examiner must keep some of my privacy confidential!"
The Speaker nodded: "No problem. Your willingness to make such a request suggests you may indeed come with good intentions. Who among you is willing to conduct the examination..."
"I'll do it!" Helena stepped forward. Previously, he had been the most vocal opponent of Bai Yujing, so it was fitting for him to conduct the examination now!
The sudden turn of events caught Shen Fei and Bivis off guard. They had been confident of victory but were now swayed by a mere thought examination. They did not understand the life forms and special abilities of these Lake Fairies at all. Even Bivis only had a superficial understanding, which could not compare to Bai Yujing's frequent dealings with Exotic Creatures!
