xiōng mèi liǎ de xíng shì hěn bù lì ， dú gū móu suī rán jiē xià le guài yú dà bàn de gōng jī ， dàn xiǎng ràng mèi mèi tuō shēn táo zǒu yī jiù shì chī rén shuō mèng ér yǐ 。
兄妹俩的形势很不利，独孤谋虽然接下了怪鱼大半的攻击，但想让妹妹脱身逃走依旧是痴人说梦而已。
The siblings were in a precarious situation. Although Solitary Plot had managed to fend off most of the monster fish's attacks, his sister's escape was still nothing but a pipe dream.
tòng hū shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dú gū móu wèi le gěi mèi mèi zuò yǎn hù ， yī shí shī shǒu ， zuǒ jiān bèi shuǐ jiàn shè zhōng ， suī bú shì zhì mìng zhī chù ， dàn yī jiù xuè liú rú zhù 。
痛呼声传入耳朵，独孤谋为了给妹妹做掩护，一时失手，左肩被水箭射中，虽不是致命之处，但依旧血流如注。
A cry of pain echoed as Solitary Plot, in an attempt to shield his sister, lost his grip and was hit by a water arrow in his left shoulder. Although it wasn't a fatal wound, blood flowed freely from the injury.
“ dà gē ！”
“大哥！”
"S Brother!"
shào nǚ yòu jīng yòu nù ， dàn tā bù guò zhù jī qī xiū xiān zhě ， gèng jiā de dǐ dǎng bú zhù 。
少女又惊又怒，但她不过筑基期修仙者，更加的抵挡不住。
The young woman was both alarmed and angry. However, being only at the Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation, she couldn’t withstand any more attacks.
yǎn kàn xiōng mèi liǎ jiù yào zàng shēn yú fù ， yī shēng yōu yōu de tàn xī chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shù zhàng yuǎn chù líng guāng shǎn shuò ， yī róng mào pǔ tōng de shào nián guǐ yì de zài bàn kōng zhōng fú xiàn ér chū 。
眼看兄妹俩就要葬身鱼腹，一声幽幽的叹息传入耳朵，数丈远处灵光闪烁，一容貌普通的少年诡异的在半空中浮现而出。
As Solitary Plot and his sister were about to be devoured by the monster fish, a faint sigh entered their ears. A few dozen feet away, a flicker of light appeared as an unremarkable-looking young man materialized in mid-air.
suī shuō xiū xiān jiè rén qíng lěng mò ， dàn jiàn sǐ bù jiù zhè yàng de shì qíng lín xuān hái zuò bù chū ， guān jiàn shì zhè duì xiōng mèi qíng shēn yì zhòng ， ràng lín xuān yě bù yóu de dòng le jǐ fēn cè yǐn zhī xīn lái le 。
虽说修仙界人情冷漠，但见死不救这样的事情林轩还做不出，关键是这对兄妹情深意重，让林轩也不由得动了几分恻隐之心来了。
Though the world of cultivation was often cold-hearted, Lin Xuan couldn’t bear to see people die without helping them. The deep bond between siblings moved him deeply.
biàn qǐ cāng chǔ ， dú gū móu xiōng mèi yuán běn yǐ bèi bī dào jué chù ， lín xuān de xiàn shēn ， zé ràng tā men kàn dào yī sī shēng cún de xī wàng lái le 。
变起仓储，独孤谋兄妹原本已被逼到绝处，林轩的现身，则让他们看到一丝生存的希望来了。
"Thank you for your assistance," Solitary Plot said, bowing respectfully towards Lin Xuan. His sister, with her clear and expressive eyes, also bowed in gratitude.
“ hái qǐng dào yǒu yuán shǒu ， dà ēn dà dé ， yú xiōng mèi yí dìng huì bào dá nǐ de 。” nán zi chēng mù dà hē ， shén shí zài lín xuān shēn shàng sǎo guò ， fā xiàn tā shì “ níng dān zhōng qī ” de xiū xiān zhě ， liǎn shàng bù yóu de lù chū dà xǐ guò wàng zhī sè 。
“还请道友援手，大恩大德，愚兄妹一定会报答你的。”男子瞠目大喝，神识在林轩身上扫过，发现他是“凝丹中期”的修仙者，脸上不由得露出大喜过望之色。
In the vast ocean, countless beasts roamed, and a single moment of carelessness could lead to one's demise. Once devoured by a monster, there was no chance for reincarnation; it was as if one’s soul had scattered into nothingness.
zhì yú nà guài yú yāo zú ， tóng líng dà de shuāng yǎn zhōng zé yǒu hóng guāng shǎn guò ， zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， yī dào ér bì cū de shuǐ jiàn chōng lín xuān pēn tǔ ér chū 。
至于那怪鱼妖族，铜铃大的双眼中则有红光闪过，张开血盆大口，一道儿臂粗的水箭冲林轩喷吐而出。
Generally, cultivators below the Incarnation Stage traveled in groups, but Solitary Plot and his sister originally had four or five companions with them. Unfortunately, they encountered a hurricane and thunderstorm at sea—extremely dangerous weather even for those at the Condensation Core stage. The center of such storms was lethal to anyone.
wēi lì kàn shàng qù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， bù guò lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān què liú lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè 。
威力看上去非同小可，不过林轩的嘴角边却流露出一丝讥嘲之色。
To avoid it, they lost contact with their companions and were forced to travel alone, leading to this dire situation.
“ bù zhī sǐ huó ！”
“不知死活！”
Fortunately, they met Lin Xuan. While his abilities weren’t weak, he was only at the Condensation Core mid-stage, yet he dared to traverse the vast sea alone—his courage impressed Solitary Plot.
huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yī bǐng xiān jiàn fēi lüè ér chū ， qīng guāng shǎn shuò ， yǐ jiāng nà shuǐ jiàn pī wèi liǎng bàn le 。
话音未落，林轩袖袍一拂，一柄仙剑飞掠而出，青光闪烁，已将那水箭劈为两半了。
"May I ask your name? This is my sister, Solitary Dream," Solitary Plot said, bowing again. "We are both scattered cultivators from Cloud State's outer seas and wish to travel to Island of Penglai. Do you happen to be heading in the same direction?"
qù shì bù xiē ， jì xù hěn hěn de jī xiàng nà guài yú 。
去势不歇，继续狠狠的击像那怪鱼。
Lin Xuan smiled lightly as he rubbed his forehead. "Indeed."
lín xuān wú yì xiǎn lù shí lì ， gù ér yě jiù méi yǒu shǐ yòng léi tíng shǒu duàn miè dí 。
林轩无意显露实力，故而也就没有使用雷霆手段灭敌。
"Excellent! Would you consider traveling with us? It would help if we encountered anything," Solitary Plot said eagerly.
bù guò jí biàn rú hé ， yě ràng yī páng de xiōng mèi dà xǐ guò wàng ， jiàn guài yú bèi lín xuān chán zhù ， liǎng rén yě háo bù yóu yù de shén tōng qí chū ， tòng dǎ luò shuǐ gǒu zǒng shì shū fú 。
不过即便如何，也让一旁的兄妹大喜过望，见怪鱼被林轩缠住，两人也毫不犹豫的神通齐出，痛打落水狗总是舒服。
"Of course, I wouldn’t refuse such a kind offer."
hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， líng guāng sì shè ， zhuǎn yǎn guò qù le yuē bàn zhǎn chá de fū ， hǎi miàn shàng bào kāi yī tuán xuè wù ， nà guài yú zhōng yú bèi zhǎn xià le tóu lú 。
轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵，灵光四射，转眼过去了约半盏茶的夫，海面上爆开一团血雾，那怪鱼终于被斩下了头颅。
The journey was no longer monotonous for Lin Xuan; the company of two companions made it more bearable. He could also learn about the customs and culture of Cloud State's outer seas.
sōu ……
嗖……
As they traveled together, Solitary Plot continued to chat with Lin Xuan: "You are not from our outer sea?"
yī fěn hóng sè de xiá guāng cóng cán shī zhōng fēi chū 。
一粉红色的霞光从残尸中飞出。
"Not at all," Lin Xuan admitted. "I am from the inland region of Cloud State."
lín xuān méi tóu wēi zhòu ， háo bù yóu yù de tái qǐ zuǒ shǒu ， qīng guāng yī shǎn ， nà fěn hóng sè de xiá guāng fǎng fú bèi shén me jìn gù ， lā huí dào le lín xuān de zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
林轩眉头微皱，毫不犹豫的抬起左手，青光一闪，那粉红色的霞光仿佛被什么禁锢，拉回到了林轩的掌心之中。
"Ah, then you came here for the matchmaking festival?" Solitary Plot asked with a chuckle.
shì yī lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de yuán zhū 。
是一龙眼大小的圆珠。
"A matchmaking festival? What is that?" Lin Xuan was surprised by this term.
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì nà shuāng tóu guài yú de yāo dān le 。
不用说，自然是那双头怪鱼的妖丹了。
"Are you not here for it?" The siblings were puzzled by his reaction.
zhè zhǒng děng jí de dōng xī ， lín xuān zì rán bù gǎn xìng qù ， dàn bài jiā shì bú duì dì ， suǒ yǐ huán shì shōu rù le chǔ wù dài lǐ 。
这种等级的东西，林轩自然不感兴趣，但败家是不对地，所以还是收入了储物袋里。
"No, I am visiting an old friend. Could you tell me more about this matchmaking festival?" Lin Xuan smiled but his mind raced with questions.
qiáng dí huà wèi le huī yān ， xiōng mèi liǎ zì rán dà sōng le yì kǒu qì ， gōng gōng jìng jìng de xiàng lín xuān fēi le guò qù 。
强敌化为了灰烟，兄妹俩自然大松了一口气，恭恭敬敬的向林轩飞了过去。
Solitary Plot explained, "Since you are from the inland region, you must be unaware that the Heavenly Faraway Pavilion has a long history dating back to ancient times. All its members are female cultivators with strict entry requirements—excellent spiritual roots and extraordinary beauty."
“ duō xiè dào yǒu xiāng zhù ， ruò fēi nǐ jí shí yuán shǒu ， yú xiōng mèi yǐ zàng shēn yú fù ， dà ēn dà dé ， wǒ men yí dìng huì bào dá nǐ de 。”
“多谢道友相助，若非你及时援手，愚兄妹已葬身鱼腹，大恩大德，我们一定会报答你的。”
"Really?" Lin Xuan was speechless. He had no idea why Qin Yan or Meng Ruyan would impose such rules on him.
dú gū móu chōng lín xuān bào le bào quán ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì gōng jìng zhī sè ， zhì yú nà miàn róng qīng xiù de shào nǚ ， yě chōng lín xuān liǎn rèn yī lǐ ， shuǐ wāng wāng de dà yǎn jīng zhōng ， xiě mǎn le gǎn jī 。
独孤谋冲林轩抱了抱拳，脸上满是恭敬之色，至于那面容清秀的少女，也冲林轩敛衽一礼，水汪汪的大眼睛中，写满了感激。
"Um, Solitary Brother, please continue," Lin Xuan swallowed hard and smiled awkwardly.
zhè máng máng dà hǎi zhōng ， yāo shòu wú shù ， shāo bù liú shén ， jiù huì zàng shēn yú fù ， ér yí dàn bèi guài wù chī le ， kě shì lián lún huí jī huì dōu méi yǒu 。
这茫茫大海中，妖兽无数，稍不留神，就会葬身鱼腹，而一旦被怪物吃了，可是连轮回机会都没有。
"Yes, male cultivators from the outer sea hope to find a partner there. The female disciples of Heavenly Faraway Pavilion are exceptional in every way, making them desirable partners for many."
xià chǎng bēi cǎn dào jí chù ， yǔ hún fēi pò sàn chà bu duō 。
下场悲惨到极处，与魂飞魄散差不多。
Lin Xuan nodded; he understood why such a desire existed.
yì bān lái shuō ， yuán yīng qī yǐ xià de xiū shì dū huì jié bàn gǎn lù ， tā men xiōng mèi liǎng gè ， yuán běn yě hái yǒu sì wǔ míng tóng bàn de ， zhǐ kě xī zhōng tú de shí hòu ， yù jiàn le jù fēng léi bào ， nà shì hǎi shàng dú yǒu de è liè tiān qì ， jí biàn shì níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě ， ruò bèi juǎn rù zhōng xīn zhī chù ， yī yàng shì bì sǐ wú yí de 。
一般来说，元婴期以下的修士都会结伴赶路，他们兄妹两个，原本也还有四五名同伴的，只可惜中途的时候，遇见了飓风雷暴，那是海上独有的恶劣天气，即便是凝丹期修仙者，若被卷入中心之处，一样是必死无疑的。
A beautiful and talented woman with a powerful family background—what could be better? Male cultivators would naturally flock to such opportunities.
wèi le duǒ bì ， tā men hé tóng bàn shī qù le lián xì ， bù dé bù liǎng rén gǎn lù ， fǒu zé yě bú huì bèi zhè shuāng tóu guài yú ， bī dào rú cǐ láng bèi de jìng dì 。
为了躲避，他们和同伴失去了联系，不得不两人赶路，否则也不会被这双头怪鱼，逼到如此狼狈的境地。
"Is that so?" Lin Xuan asked with a smile.
xìng hǎo yǔ lín xuān xiāng yù ， kě zhè wèi dào yǒu shén tōng suī rán bù ruò ， dàn bì jìng yě zhǐ shì níng dān zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， jū rán yī rén gǎn zài máng máng dà hǎi zhōng gǎn lù ， dǎn qì zhe shí ràng rén pèi fú 。
幸好与林轩相遇，可这位道友神通虽然不弱，但毕竟也只是凝丹中期的修仙者，居然一人敢在茫茫大海中赶路，胆气着实让人佩服。
Solitary Plot blushed, scratching his head. "Haha, I am just a scattered cultivator. My parents passed away early, and I rely on my sister for survival in this world. Now that I’m older, I want to start a family and settle down."
mò fēi tā yě shì yù jiàn le fēng bào huò zhě yāo zú ， yīn ér yǔ tóng bàn zǒu sàn le ？
莫非他也是遇见了风暴或者妖族，因而与同伴走散了？
The outer sea was harsher than the inland region; fewer spiritual veins meant more monster fish. If he were an Incarnation Stage cultivator, he could accumulate valuable materials by killing sea beasts. But his low cultivation level made him destitute.
dú gū móu rú cǐ zhè bān de xiǎng zhe ， liǎn shàng lù chū chéng kěn wú bǐ de shén sè ， bào quán chōng zhe lín xuān kāi kǒu le ：“ zài xià dú gū móu ， zhè shì shě mèi dú gū mèng ， wǒ men liǎ dōu shì zhè yún zhōu wài hǎi de sàn xiū ， rú jīn yào qù yíng zhōu dǎo ， kàn dào yǒu fēi dùn de fāng xiàng ， bù zhī dào mù dì dì shì fǒu yǔ wǒ men shì tóng yī gè dì fāng ？”
独孤谋如此这般的想着，脸上露出诚恳无比的神色，抱拳冲着林轩开口了：“在下独孤谋，这是舍妹独孤梦，我们俩都是这云州外海的散修，如今要去瀛洲岛，看道友飞遁的方向，不知道目的地是否与我们是同一个地方？”
His own progress and his sister’s hopes for condensation were bleak without a breakthrough in cultivation.
“ bù cuò 。” lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn qīng xiào zhī sè ， suǒ wèi de yíng zhōu dǎo ， jiù shì tiān yá hǎi gé suǒ zài de zǒng duò ， jù lí zhè lǐ yǐ jīng bù yuǎn le 。
“不错。”林轩以手抚额，脸上露出几分轻笑之色，所谓的瀛洲岛，就是天涯海阁所在的总舵，距离这里已经不远了。
The harsh reality of the cultivation world was that scattered cultivators needed great perseverance, opportunities, or wisdom to rise above their circumstances.
“ rú cǐ tài hǎo le ， dào yǒu kě yuàn yì yǔ wǒ men jié bàn ér xíng me ， rú cǐ jí biàn yù jiàn shén me ， duō shǎo yě kě yǐ hù xiāng zhào yìng yī xià de 。” dú gū móu mǎn liǎn qī pàn zhī sè de kāi kǒu le 。
“如此太好了，道友可愿意与我们结伴而行么，如此即便遇见什么，多少也可以互相照应一下的。”独孤谋满脸期盼之色的开口了。
Fortunately, Heavenly Faraway Pavilion's matchmaking festival offered hope. If he could find a partner from the Condensation Core stage there, he would be able to establish his own family nearby according to the rules. Even with limited resources, the dowry provided by the pavilion was always generous.
“ ń ， dào yǒu jì yǒu rú cǐ měi yì ， lín mǒu qǐ yǒu bù yǔn zhī lǐ 。”
“嗯，道友既有如此美意，林某岂有不允之理。”
Lin Xuan sighed. "What about your sister? She can’t possibly go for matchmaking."
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū jǐ fēn xiào yì ， dà hǎi de jǐng sè suī rán bō lán zhuàng kuò ， dàn yí gè rén gǎn lù duō shǎo yě yǒu xiē fán le （ yuè ér zài tiān jī fǔ lǐ xiū liàn ， bù néng liáo tiān 。）， zhǎo rén rén péi péi yě bù cuò ， shùn biàn kě yǐ duō liǎo jiě yī xià zhè yún zhōu wài hǎi de fēng tǔ rén qíng shén me 。
林轩的嘴脚边露出几分笑意，大海的景色虽然波澜壮阔，但一个人赶路多少也有些烦了（月儿在天机府里修炼，不能聊天。），找人人陪陪也不错，顺便可以多了解一下这云州外海的风土人情什么。
"Ha ha, you jest. The Heavenly Faraway Pavilion is all female; my sister has no need for such a festival. I just want to see if she has any chance of joining the pavilion," Solitary Plot said.
jiàn lín xuān tóng yì ， xiōng mèi èr rén bù yóu de dà xǐ ， yì qǐ wān yāo shī lǐ ：“ nà jiē xià lái de lǚ chéng ， hái qǐng dào yǒu duō duō zhào yìng 。”
见林轩同意，兄妹二人不由得大喜，一起弯腰施礼：“那接下来的旅程，还请道友多多照应。”
"Joining the Heavenly Faraway Pavilion?"
“ hē hē ， xián xiōng mèi kè qì 。”
“呵呵，贤兄妹客气。”
"Yes, as they say, good things come in pairs. So, their matchmaking festival and disciple recruitment are usually held simultaneously every sixty years. This time, for some reason, it was moved up by three years."
lín xuān bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， yún dàn fēng qīng de shuō 。
林轩摆了摆手，云淡风清的说。
Lin Xuan remained silent but his mind raced with thoughts. If he guessed correctly, the early event might be related to the current situation in Cloud State.
wǎng shì rú mèng ， zhuǎn yǎn jiān ， zì jǐ yǐ shì rén jiè dǐng ér jiān ér de gāo shǒu ， biàn shì yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě yě bù fàng zài yǎn zhōng ， yǐ duō jiǔ méi yǒu yǔ zhè xiǎo xiū shì jiē chù ， dào ràng lín xuān huái niàn qǐ guò wǎng de shí guāng lái le 。
往事如梦，转眼间，自己已是人界顶儿尖儿的高手，便是元婴期修仙者也不放在眼中，已多久没有与这小修士接触，倒让林轩怀念起过往的时光来了。
***: I apologize; this is all I can write today. No, Huan Yu isn't slacking off; I’ll continue writing late into the night for tomorrow's chapter. My wife’s family will visit on New Year’s and her wedding, so there are many things to prepare. Please understand.
The siblings were in a precarious situation. Although Solitary Plot had managed to fend off most of the monster fish's attacks, his sister's escape was still nothing but a pipe dream.
"Ah!"
A cry of pain echoed as Solitary Plot, in an attempt to shield his sister, lost his grip and was hit by a water arrow in his left shoulder. Although it wasn't a fatal wound, blood flowed freely from the injury.
