lín xuān bìng méi yǒu quán lì yǐ fù ， bì jìng zài chǎng de chú le qín yán ， hái yǒu jiāng shì yáo xióng hé xuě míng mén zōng zhǔ fū fù ， dī diào shì lín xuān yí guàn de yuán zé 。
林轩并没有全力以赴，毕竟在场的除了秦研，还有姜氏姚雄和雪瞑门宗主夫妇，低调是林轩一贯的原则。
Lin Xuan did not exert his full strength. After all, besides Qin Yan, there were also the Qiang family's Yao Xiong and the couple from Snow Musing Sect present. Lin Xuan had always been a低调 person.
gāng gāng de bì huàn yōu huǒ yǐ jīng gòu yǐn rén zhǔ mù ， cǐ kè lín xuān xuǎn zé cáng zhuō ， jǐn jǐn shì jiāng qīng huǒ jiàn jì chū ， dàn nà wēi lì yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zhuó qín yán de fǎ bǎo yī gāng yī niè ， pèi hé dé shí fēn mò qì 。
刚刚的碧幻幽火已经够引人瞩目，此刻林轩选择藏拙，仅仅是将青火剑祭出，但那威力也非同小可，卓秦妍的法宝一刚一臬，配合得十分默契。
Just now, the Azure Illusionary Flame had already attracted enough attention. Now, Lin Xuan chose to play it safe by merely summoning out the Green Fire Sword. Although its power was not trivial, Qin Yan's treasure weapon clashed with it in perfect harmony.
měi rén rú yù ， jiù róng mào lái shuō ， lín xuān yuǎn yuǎn bù jí ， dàn tā jǔ shǒu tóu zú jiān ， zì yǒu yī gǔ piāo yì zhī qì ， liǎng rén bìng jiān ér lì ， láng cái nǚ mào ， jìng xiǎn de bān pèi wú bǐ 。
美人如玉，就容貌来说，林轩远远不及，但他举手投足间，自有一股飘逸之气，两人并肩而立，郎才女貌，竟显得般配无比。
A beauty like jade, Lin Xuan fell short in appearance compared to her. But his every move exuded a sense of elegance and grace. Side by side, they complemented each other perfectly, making them seem like the ideal couple.
shì yì shí yí ， bǎi nián guò qù ， liǎng rén zài cì lián shǒu yù dí 。
事易时移，百年过去，两人再次联手御敌。
With time passing, two hundred years had gone by, and they were once again working together to repel an enemy. Both had advanced to the Spirit婴 stage in cultivation, but their enemies were far more formidable than those from before.
xiū wèi dōu yǐ jìn jiē dào le yuán yīng qī ， dàn dí rén yě yǐ yuǎn fēi xī rì de huǒ líng zhǎng mén kě bǐ 。
修为都已进阶到了元婴期，但敌人也已远非昔日的火灵掌门可比。
The puppet was still at the late Spirit婴 stage, not a match for six people working together, but eliminating it would also be no easy task. Of course, if Lin Xuan had given his all, that would have been another matter entirely.
kuǐ lěi bì jìng shì yuán yīng hòu qī ， suī rán bú shì liù rén lián shǒu zhī dí ， dàn xiǎng yào jiāng qí miè shā yě bù róng yì ， dāng rán ， lín xuān ruò quán lì yǐ fù ， nà zì rán yòu lìng dāng bié lùn le 。
傀儡毕竟是元婴后期，虽然不是六人联手之敌，但想要将其灭杀也不容易，当然，林轩若全力以赴，那自然又另当别论了。
However, as time passed, their situation gradually improved. Eventually, they could defeat their enemies by persisting in this manner.
bù guò suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， xíng shì duì tā men yuè lái yuè yǒu lì ， zhè yàng yì zhí hào xià qù ， zuì zhōng yě shì néng gòu jī bài dí rén dì 。
不过随着时间的推移，形势对他们越来越有利，这样一直耗下去，最终也是能够击败敌人地。
Lin Xuan was not in a hurry. While he controlled the Green Fire Sword to attack, he kept an eye on the woman beside him.
lín xuān bù jí ， yī biān cāo zòng qīng huǒ jiàn gōng jī ， yī biān liú yì zhe shēn biān de nǚ zǐ 。
林轩不急，一边操纵青火剑攻击，一边留意着身边的女子。
The flush had yet to leave Qin Yan's face, and it seemed she noticed Lin Xuan staring at her. Her eyebrows slightly arched, and there was an indescribable mix of embarrassment and anger in her expression, but there was also a hint of joy.
qín yán liǎn shàng de hóng yùn shāng wèi tuì qù ， sì hū yě xiàn lín xuān zài tōu kàn zì jǐ ， xiù méi wēi tiāo ， liǎn shàng shuō bù chū shì xiū nǎo hái shì shēng qì ， dàn yǐn yǐn de yòu yǒu jǐ fēn huān xǐ 。
秦妍脸上的红晕殇未退去，似乎也现林轩在偷看自己，秀眉微挑，脸上说不出是羞恼还是生气，但隐隐的又有几分欢喜。
Lady of the Clouds did not show favoritism towards men, but for Lin Xuan, there were some differences. First, they had once been fellow students at Drifting Cloud Valley, sharing more than just camaraderie; it was a reminder of their shared past. Second, Lin Xuan had saved her twice.
yún zhōng xiān zi ， duì nán rén cóng bù jiā yǐ cí sè ， dàn duì lín xuān ， bì jìng shì yǒu xiē xǔ bù tóng 。
云中仙子，对男人从不加以辞色，但对林轩，毕竟是有些许不同。
Although Qin Yan was not a woman who would forget kindness, she was slightly angry about his earlier recklessness. Yet for some reason, she did not feel as upset as she should have been. She found herself confused by this feeling; if it had been another man touching her chest just now, even with the same intentions, she might have turned him down.
yī lái ， tā xiāng yù gù zhī ， liǎng rén céng yì qǐ bài rù piāo yún gǔ xué yì 。
一来，他乡遇故知，两人曾一起拜入飘云谷学艺。
Why did he seem so special?
nà bù jǐn jǐn shì tóng mén zhī yì ， hái yǒu duì guò qù měi hǎo de huí yì 。
那不仅仅是同门之谊，还有对过去美好的回忆。
Qin Yan was genuinely puzzled. There seemed to be some kind of connection between them, but their interactions were few and far between. It was too strange.
èr lái ， lín xuān yǐ liǎng cì jiù le zì jǐ 。
二来，林轩已两次救了自己。
Lady of the Clouds frowned as she pondered this.
qín yán bìng fēi wàng ēn fù yì de nǚ zǐ ， suī rán yǒu diǎn shēng qì lín xuān gāng gāng de mào shī ， dàn bù zhī wèi hé ， xīn zhōng bìng bù rú hé xiū nù ， lián zì jǐ dōu hěn qí guài zhè zhǒng gǎn jué ， gāng gāng ruò pèng dào xiōng bù de shì qí tā nán zi ， jiù suàn jiù mìng ēn rén shuō bù dìng tā yě fān liǎn le
秦妍并非忘恩负义的女子，虽然有点生气林轩刚刚的冒失，但不知为何，心中并不如何羞怒，连自己都很奇怪这种感觉，刚刚若碰到胸部的是其他男子，就算救命恩人说不定她也翻脸了
Disliking how they kept exchanging glances, Mo'er pouted higher until she finally lay down to sleep. But she couldn't fall asleep either.
wèi hé huì jué de cǐ rén tè bié ？
为何会觉得此人特别？
Sighing inwardly, the little girl vowed to work harder in her cultivation. Meanwhile, the puppet's situation grew more perilous. A flash of green light, Lin Xuan used his divine sword to strike fiercely. The puppet crossed its arms over its head as a defense.
qín yán xīn zhōng zhe shí bù jiě ， míng míng zhōng liǎng rén xiàng yǒu shén me lián xì shì de ， kě zài jì yì zhōng ， liǎng rén de jiāo jí yòu bù duō ， zhè shí zài tài qí guài le 。
秦妍心中着实不解，冥冥中两人像有什么联系似的，可在记忆中，两人的交集又不多，这实在太奇怪了。
However, other cultivators were watching hungrily nearby. The Qiang brothers clasped their left hands together in an ancient posture, and the surging spiritual energy from both of them surged out. Their right fists, each enlarged by several times, rained down on the puppet like hailstones.
yún zhōng xiān zi zhòu méi xiǎng zhe 。
云中仙子皱眉想着。
In terms of power, they could rival top-grade ancient treasures. Zhu Wuyun's couple did not sit idle either; after exchanging glances, they charged forward to beat a fallen foe.
kàn bù guàn liǎng rén “ méi lái yǎn qù ”， yuè ér zuǐ bā yuè juē yuè gāo ， zuì hòu gān cuì tǎng xià lái shuì dà jué ， yǎn bù jiàn ， xīn bù fán ， kě …… zěn me yě shuì bù zhe 。
看不惯两人“眉来眼去”，月儿嘴巴越噘越高，最后干脆躺下来睡大觉，眼不见，心不烦，可……怎么也睡不着。
The Nine Heavens Ice Fire Silk transformed into a ten-meter-long dragon. It was not a transformation technique; within the treasure, there was an imprisoned spirit of a Transformation stage jiangshi.
āi ， zì jǐ rú guǒ yǒu shēn tǐ gāi duō hǎo 。 xiǎo yā tou qiǎo rán tàn xī ， àn àn shì jiē xià lái de xiū liàn yí dìng hǎo hǎo nǔ lì 。 ér nà kuǐ lěi de xíng shì yǐ yuè wēi jí 。 qīng guāng yī shǎn ， lín xuān cāo zòng xiān jiàn hěn hěn de pī cì xià lái 。 kuǐ lěi shuāng shǒu jiāo chā ， dǎng zài tóu dǐng shàng miàn 。
唉，自己如果有身体该多好。小丫头悄然叹息，暗暗誓接下来的修炼一定好好努力。而那傀儡的形势已越危急。青光一闪，林轩操纵仙剑狠狠的劈刺下来。傀儡双手交叉，挡在头顶上面。
Although the puppet had been crafted from rare materials, its body surface was already scarred and battered. But it showed no fear, emitting spiritual light as it stubbornly withstood six old monsters at the Spirit婴 stage.
kě hái yǒu qí tā xiū xiān zhě hǔ shì zài páng biān ， jiāng shì shuāng xióng zuǒ shǒu hù wò ， zī shì gǔ piáo ， péng bó de líng lì cóng xiōng dì liǎng rén shēn shàng xiōng yǒng ér chū ， yòu shǒu zé gè zì zhǎng dà le bèi xǔ ， quán tou rú yǔ diǎn bān xiàng kuǐ lěi hōng qù 。
可还有其他修仙者虎视在旁边，姜氏双雄左手互握，姿势古朴，蓬勃的灵力从兄弟两人身上汹涌而出，右手则各自涨大了倍许，拳头如雨点般像傀儡轰去。
Lin Xuan's brows furrowed; something seemed off about this situation. There was a hint of intrigue.
lùn wēi lì ， zú yǐ yǔ dǐng jiān de gǔ bǎo xiāng bǐ 。 zhū wú yún fū fù yě méi yǒu xián zhe ， hù shì yī yǎn hòu ， yì qǐ chōng shàng qù tòng dǎ luò shuǐ gǒu 。
论威力，足以与顶尖的古宝相比。朱无云夫妇也没有闲着，互视一眼后，一起冲上去痛打落水狗。
Regardless of who was behind it, such a puppet was not merely a lifeless tool but would make choices based on the battle situation. With the current unfavorable circumstances, he could easily escape. Why did he choose to stay and fight?
ér nà jiǔ tiān bīng huǒ líng zé biàn huà chū le yī tiáo shí shé zhàng zhǎng de jiāo lóng ， bìng fēi huà xíng zhī shù ， zài cǐ bǎo nèi bù ， fēng yìn yǒu yī huà xíng qī jiāo hún de 。
而那九天冰火绫则变化出了一条十佘丈长的蛟龙，并非化形之术，在此宝内部，封印有一化形期蛟魂的。
His doubts caused Lin Xuan to shift his gaze away from Qin Yan's beauty. However, he would not be swayed by such allure; for some reason, a sense of unease lingered in his heart.
kuǐ lěi suī rán shì yóu zhēn xī cái liào liàn zhì ， dàn shēn tǐ biǎo miàn ， yǐ shāng hén bān bó ， kě tā sī háo bù zhī wèi jù wèi hé wù ， hún shēn líng guāng tūn tǔ ， yìng káng liù míng wú yīng qī lǎo guài wù 。
傀儡虽然是由珍稀材料炼制，但身体表面，已伤痕斑驳，可他丝毫不知畏惧为何物，浑身灵光吞吐，硬扛六名无婴期老怪物。
Lin Xuan released his divine consciousness... already surpassing those at the late Spirit婴 stage in strength. He felt that the spiritual energy emanating from the puppet was becoming increasingly wild and chaotic. Could it be...
lín xuān méi tóu wēi zhòu ， yǐn yǐn jué de cǐ shì yǒu xiē bú duì tóu 。 pǒ yǒu qī qiāo zhī chù 。
林轩眉头微皱，隐隐觉得此事有些不对头。颇有蹊跷之处。
Without further thought, Lin Xuan stretched out his monkey-like arms to embrace Qin Yan's slender waist. His body surged with spiritual energy as he moved gracefully, employing Nine Heavens Microstep.
bù guǎn mù hòu zhǔ shǐ shì nǎ ge jiā huo ， zhè zhǒng děng jí de kuǐ lěi jué fēi sǐ wù ， huì gēn jù zhàn jú qíng kuàng zì dòng zuò chū xuǎn zé 。
不管幕后主使是哪个家伙，这种等级的傀儡绝非死物，会根据战局情况自动做出选择。
Caught in Lin Xuan's embrace, Qin Yan's face turned a deep red, and she was greatly angered. Although she felt something special towards him, she could not allow such liberties. Just as she tried to struggle, Lin Xuan's sharp command reached her ears.
rú jīn xíng shì bù miào ， tā wán quán kě yǐ táo zǒu ， wèi hé yào zài zhè lǐ yìng káng ？
如今形势不妙，他完全可以逃走，为何要在这里硬扛？
Her movements stopped abruptly; her body stiffened, and her beautiful eyes filled with confusion... Was he really saying what he said?
xīn zhōng yí huò ， lín xuān de mù guāng yě wán quán cóng qín yán shēn shàng nuó kāi le ， xiù sè kě cān 「 dàn lín xuān jué bú huì chén nì yú měi sè ， bù zhī wèi hé ， tā xīn zhōng yǒu yī zhǒng bù miào de gǎn jué 。
心中疑惑，林轩的目光也完全从秦妍身上挪开了，秀色可餐「但林轩绝不会沉溺于美色，不知为何，他心中有一种不妙的感觉。
Before the thought was fully formed, Qin Yan found herself several dozen meters away. Instant teleportation?
jiù xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū …… lùn qiáng ruò ， yǐ jīng shèng guò le yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě 。 yǐn yǐn de ， tā gǎn jué cóng kuǐ lěi tǐ nèi sàn chū lái de líng lì ， biàn dé yǒu xiē kuáng bào qǐ lái nán dào shuō yī yī yī yī ) yī
咎轩将神识放出……论强弱，已经胜过了元婴后期的修仙者。隐隐的，他感觉从傀儡体内散出来的灵力，变得有些狂暴起来难道说一一一一)一
Although it could not compare to her master’s spatial abilities, it seemed to outshine later-stage cultivators' shrinking techniques.
lín xuān bù jí duō xiǎng ， yuán bì qīng shū ， yǐ jiāng qín yán de xiān yāo lǎn zhù ， suí hòu hún shēn líng lì kuáng yǒng ， jiǎo bù qīng nuó ， shī zhǎn qǐ le jiǔ tiān wēi bù 。
林轩不及多想，猿臂轻舒，已将秦妍的纤腰揽住，随后浑身灵力狂涌，脚步轻挪，施展起了九天微步。
This younger brother Lin must be a mid-Spirit婴 cultivator?
yī xià bèi lín xuān bào zài huái zhōng ， qín yán mǎn liǎn yūn hóng ， tóng shí dà wèi xiū nǎo ， suī rán tā duì cǐ rén gǎn jué tè shū ， dàn yě bù kě néng rèn qí qīng bó ， zhèng yù zhēng zhá ， lín xuān de nà shēng duàn hē jiù chuán rù le ěr duǒ 。
一下被林轩抱在怀中，秦妍满脸晕红，同时大为羞恼，虽然她对此人感觉特殊，但也不可能任其轻薄，正欲挣扎，林轩的那声断喝就传入了耳朵。
Due to his excessive force, Qin Yan was almost tightly embraced by Lin Xuan, with her delicate face pressed against his chest.
dòng zuò yī xià zi tíng zhǐ le ， jiāo qū biàn dé jiāng yìng qǐ lái ， měi lì de dà yǎn jīng zhōng mǎn shì mí huò …… tā shuō de shì bú shì zhēn de ?
动作一下子停止了，娇躯变得僵硬起来，美丽的大眼睛中满是迷惑……他说的是不是真的?
It felt firm and broad...
zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn wán ， qín yán xiàn zì jǐ chū xiàn zài le shù shí zhàng kāi wài ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yuè jīng cǎi ， shùn yí ？
这个念头尚未转完，秦妍现自己出现在了数十丈开外，脸上的表情越精彩，瞬移？
Her peripheral vision also fell on Lin Xuan's face. To tell the truth, his appearance was extremely ordinary, easily lost in a crowd, but paired with his expression, Qin Yan found it comforting and safe.
suī rán yǔ ēn shī de kōng jiān shén tōng bù néng xiāng bǐ ， dàn bǐ qǐ hòu qī xiū shì de suō dì shù hái yào yóu shèng yī chóu de yàng zi 。
虽然与恩师的空间神通不能相比，但比起后期修士的缩地术还要尤胜一筹的样子。
What is wrong with me?
zhè wèi lín shī dì ， zhēn shì yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū shì ？
这位林师弟，真是元婴中期的修士？
Qin Yan suddenly regained her composure. Lin Xuan did not know that the girl in his arms had her thoughts swirling. Her body was surging with spiritual energy as she continuously used Nine Heavens Microstep to retreat several thousand meters away.
ér qiě yóu yú yòng lì guò měng ， qín yán jī hū shì bèi lín xuān jǐn jǐn de bào zài huái zhōng ， qiào liǎn zhèng hǎo tiē zhe lín xuān de xiōng pú 。
而且由于用力过猛，秦妍几乎是被林轩紧紧的抱在怀中，俏脸正好贴着林轩的胸脯。
The green-robed old man's expression turned grim, and he pursued them using a strange evasive technique, only slightly slower than Lin Xuan.
hěn jiān shí ， hěn kuān kuò 。
很坚实，很宽阔。
Lin Xuan's brows furrowed deeply; his expression grew more serious. The other Spirit婴 stage monsters also looked extremely displeased. Although they did not know if what Lin Xuan said was true or false, no one dared to test it, fleeing like frightened birds.
tā yǎn jiǎo de yú guāng ， yě luò zài le lín xuān de liǎn shàng ， shí huà shí shuō ， nà róng yán píng fán dào le jí chù ， shǔ yú diū jìn rén duī ， jiù zhàn bú dào de nà zhǒng ， kě pèi shàng tā de biǎo qíng ， qín yán què jué de shí fēn de ràng rén ān xīn 。
她眼角的余光，也落在了林轩的脸上，实话实说，那容颜平凡到了极处，属于丢进人堆，就战不到的那种，可配上他的表情，秦妍却觉得十分的让人安心。
Seeing the puppet following closely, Lin Xuan's face turned pale with anger and confusion. At this moment, he had no time for playing safe; his sleeves fluttered, releasing dozens of sword energy beams.
yǒu yī zhǒng wēn nuǎn ， ān quán de gǎn jué …… zì jǐ zhè shì zěn me le ？
有一种温暖，安全的感觉……自己这是怎么了？
They grew in size as they met the wind, each reaching several dozen meters long. Although not a treasure weapon, their power was formidable when used to full capacity by Lin Xuan. His goal was to block the enemy's advance.
qín yán sà rán qīng xǐng guò lái ， xī lín xuān kě bù zhī dào bèi tā bào zài huái zhōng de shào nǚ xīn sī zhèng qiān huí bǎi zhuǎn ， hún shēn líng lì kuáng shǎn ， jiǔ tiān wēi bù bù tíng de shī zhǎn chū lái 。
秦妍飒然清醒过来，西林轩可不知道被他抱在怀中的少女心思正千回百转，浑身灵力狂闪，九天微步不停的施展出来。
The dozens of sword energies surged like waves, attacking the opponent with great ferocity. However, the puppet had rich combat experience and seemed to have seen through Lin Xuan's intentions; its speed did not decrease but increased slightly more. The air crackled with friction sounds.
zhuǎn shùn zhī jiān ， jiù tuì chū le shù qiān zhàng yuǎn 。
转瞬之间，就退出了数千丈远。
And within his body, the spiritual energy became increasingly wild and chaotic, reaching a critical point before self-destruction.
ér nà qīng páo lǎo zhě liǎn shàng lì sè yī xiǎn ， shī zhǎn guǐ yì dùn shù zhuī le shàng lái ， jìng rán zhǐ bǐ lín xuān màn le yī xiàn 。
而那青袍老者脸上厉色一显，施展诡异遁术追了上来，竟然只比林轩慢了一线。
Damned it! It seems escape is impossible!
lín xuān méi yǔ jiān mǎn shì yīn mái ， shén sè yě wèi zhī níng zhòng le qǐ lái 。
林轩眉宇间满是阴霾，神色也为之凝重了起来。
Lin Xuan was both shocked and angry, feeling even more confused. A late Spirit婴 puppet was worth its weight in gold, but Qin Yan was only at the initial stage of cultivation. Which villainous figure had spent so much to risk everything?
Lin Xuan did not exert his full strength. After all, besides Qin Yan, there were also the Qiang family's Yao Xiong and the couple from Snow Musing Sect present. Lin Xuan had always been a低调 person.
Just now, the Azure Illusionary Flame had already attracted enough attention. Now, Lin Xuan chose to play it safe by merely summoning out the Green Fire Sword. Although its power was not trivial, Qin Yan's treasure weapon clashed with it in perfect harmony.

Qin Yan was genuinely puzzled. There seemed to be some kind of connection between them, but their interactions were few and far between. It was too strange.
