“ bù bì duō lǐ 。”
“不必多礼。”
"No need for such formalities."
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū dàn dàn de xiào yì ， yǔ zhū qiàn rú hán xuān le jǐ jù ， gù rén chóng féng ， tā xīn zhōng duō shǎo yě yǒu xiē huān xǐ 。
林轩嘴角边流露出淡淡的笑意，与朱倩如寒暄了几句，故人重逢，他心中多少也有些欢喜。
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a faint smile as he chatted with Zhu Qianru. The meeting of old acquaintances brought him some joy, but his expression turned grim when he looked at the several cultivators lying on the ground.
dàn zhuǎn guò tóu ， wàng xiàng nà jǐ míng pā zài dì shàng de xiū xiān zhě ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yòu chóng xīn yīn mái xià lái le 。
但转过头，望向那几名趴在地上的修仙者，脸上的表情又重新阴霾下来了。
These mere condensation core cultivators dared to be disrespectful toward him?
qū qū jǐ míng níng dān xiū shì ， yě gǎn duì zì jǐ wú lǐ 。
区区几名凝丹修士，也敢对自己无礼。
Although Lin Xuan did not seek revenge for every slight, he was certainly no magnanimous person. In the cultivation world, it was a matter of survival of the fittest. If they were blind enough to provoke his ire, then they would face severe consequences.
lín xuān de xìng gé ， suī tán bù shàng yá zì bì bào ， dàn yě jué bú shì xīn xiōng kāi kuò de liáng shàn zhě ， xiū xiān jiè běn lái jiù shì ruò ròu qiáng shí de ， tā men jì rán bù zhǎng yǎn zhū ， nà jiù bié guài zì jǐ zuò là shǒu wú qíng de rén wù 。
林轩的性格，虽谈不上睚眦必报，但也绝不是心胸开阔的良善者，修仙界本来就是弱肉强食的，他们既然不长眼珠，那就别怪自己做辣手无情的人物。
In this cutthroat world, one could never be too careful. Even his precious Moon had dared to tease them; Lin Xuan couldn't bear to let that slide.
rén zài jiāng hú piāo ， nǎ néng bù āi dāo ， xiǎng yào zài xiū xiān jiè huó dé xiāo yáo ， jiù yào jiāng zhāo zi fàng liàng 。
人在江湖飘，哪能不挨刀，想要在修仙界活得逍遥，就要将招子放亮。
"You may all go to hell."
lián zì jǐ de bǎo bèi yuè ér yě gǎn tiáo xì ， bù jiāng tā men chōu hún liàn pò ， lín xuān shì nán yǐ yàn xià zhè kǒu qì de 。
连自己的宝贝月儿也敢调戏，不将他们抽魂炼魄，林轩是难以咽下这口气的。
Ignoring the pleas of the young nobles, Lin Xuan waved his sleeves and a few sword lights shot out, blindingly bright as they struck their heads with force.
“ nǐ men kě yǐ qù sǐ le 。”
“你们可以去死了。”
"Senior, run for your life!"
bù lǐ huì jǐ míng wán kù zǐ dì de qiú ráo ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， jǐ lǚ jiàn guāng fēi lüè ér chū ， yào yǎn cì mù ， hěn hěn de pī xiàng le jǐ rén de tóu lú 。
不理会几名纨绔子弟的求饶，林轩袖袍一拂，几缕剑光飞掠而出，耀眼刺目，狠狠的劈向了几人的头颅。
Lü Wuyi led the way as several unlucky cultivators showed signs of shock. However, immobilized by the pressure from an advanced-stage婴灵, they could not move at all.
“ qián bèi táo mìng ！”
“前辈逃命！”
Blazing blood splattered.
yǐ lǚ wú yì wéi shǒu ， jǐ míng dǎo méi xiū shì de liǎn shàng ， wú bù lù chū jīng hài yù jué de shén sè ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā men gēn běn dòng tán bù dé ， yuán yīng hòu qī xiū shì de líng yā shí zài tài kě pà 。
以吕无义为首，几名倒霉修士的脸上，无不露出惊骇欲绝的神色，然而此时此刻，他们根本动弹不得，元婴后期修士的灵压实在太可怕。
The sword lights swirled around and struck their heads, leaving them unconscious.
yào yǎn de xuè huā 。
耀眼的血花。
"Enough!"
jiàn guāng yī rào ， jǐ kē tóu lú jiù gǔn luò zài le dì shàng ， suí hòu lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， chōng zhe tā men de shī tǐ yī zhuā 。
剑光一绕，几颗头颅就滚落在了地上，随后林轩伸出手来，冲着他们的尸体一抓。
Kuai Yu looked displeased but waved her hand. Although she had spoken lightly just now, her heart was seething with anger. After all, killing on Jing Yue Island without considering the interests of the Sea Edge Pavilion showed a lack of respect for it.
bàn kōng *** xiàn le jǐ gè yīng ér quán tou dà xiǎo de guāng tuán 。
半空***现了几个婴儿拳头大小的光团。
Since they were only advanced-stage cultivators, she hadn't reacted immediately.
shuō guò yào chōu hún liàn pò lín xuān zì rán bú huì shí yán ， yòng mì shù jiāng yuán shén cóng tā men de shī tǐ lǐ bī le chū lái 。
说过要抽魂炼魄林轩自然不会食言，用秘术将元神从他们的尸体里逼了出来。
As an ancient monster who lived for hundreds of years, she always planned meticulously before acting. She would first assess their background and then decide how to proceed.
suí hòu lín xuān shēn shǒu yī pāi ， yī xiǎo qiǎo de yù píng fēi lüè chū lái 。
随后林轩伸手一拍，一小巧的玉瓶飞掠出来。
Although a few advanced-stage cultivators might not be worth much consideration for the Sea Edge Pavilion, with the current strange circumstances, she didn't want to unnecessarily make more enemies for her sect.
yī zhǐ yì diǎn ， dàn qīng sè de guāng xiá cóng píng kǒu fú xiàn ， jiāng jǐ rén de yuán shén shōu rù le lǐ miàn 。
一指一点，淡青色的光霞从瓶口浮现，将几人的元神收入了里面。
After all, advancing to an advanced-stage婴灵 was extremely rare among lone practitioners; there must be powerful sects backing them.
zuò wán zhè yī qiè hòu ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， ér qí yú de xiū xiān zhě ， zé quán dōu jìn ruò hán chán le 。
做完这一切后，林轩脸上露出满意之色，而其余的修仙者，则全都噤若寒蝉了。
Kuai Yu's thoughts ran along these lines as she slowly turned her head and scanned Lin Xuan. Her expression suddenly changed from anger to surprise.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yuǎn chù de tiān biān yòu chū xiàn le yī dào jīng rén de líng qì ， lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ， zhuǎn tóu wàng le guò qù ， yī dào hóng sè de dùn guāng yìng rù le yǎn lián lǐ 。
然而就在这时，远处的天边又出现了一道惊人的灵气，林轩眼睛微眯，转头望了过去，一道红色的遁光映入了眼帘里。
Her displeasure vanished, replaced by shock: "You… you?"
yǒu xiē shú 。
有些熟。
"Indeed, Senior Daoist Kuai, we meet again," Lin Xuan said with a smile.
ér qiě nà líng yā sì hū yě shì yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， lín xuān liǎn shàng bù yóu de lù chū le ruò yǒu suǒ sī de shén sè 。
而且那灵压似乎也是元婴后期的大修仙者，林轩脸上不由得露出了若有所思的神色。
"Haha, welcome, Senior Lin, to the Sea Edge Pavilion. Why didn't you say sooner? If I had known you were here, Lady would have led my sisters out to greet you personally." Kuai Yu curtsied, taking on the demeanor of a junior disciple.
“ nǎ wèi gāo rén jià lín wǒ tiān yá hǎi gé ， jī yuè rú zhè xiāng yǒu lǐ le 。”
“哪位高人驾临我天涯海阁，姬月如这厢有理了。”
The surrounding cultivators were left speechless by her actions.
qīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu nà hóng guāng yī liǎn ， xiàn chū yī měi mào de gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ lái 。
清冷的声音传入耳朵，随后那红光一敛，现出一美貌的宫装女子来。
"Brother, did I see right?"
nián líng yǐ bú shì hěn qīng ， què yī jiù yǒu zhe bù fán de fēng yùn 。
年龄已不是很轻，却依旧有着不凡的风韵。
"I'm starting to think there's something wrong with my eyes. Both of us are advanced-stage婴灵; by both reason and emotion, we should be equals. Why…?"
lín xuān biǎo qíng yī è ， zhè shì jiān de shì qíng hái zhēn shì yǒu xǔ duō qiǎo hé ， gù rén yí gè jiē zhe yí gè ， cǐ nǚ zài qiān yǐng zōng de shí hòu ， yě céng yǔ zì jǐ dǎ guò jiāo dào de 。
林轩表情一愕，这世间的事情还真是有许多巧合，故人一个接着一个，此女在千影宗的时候，也曾与自己打过交道的。
"It's true, Senior Daoist Kuai is acting so humbly. Could the other party be a master from one of the Seven Great Sects?" another person muttered.
“ cān jiàn jī shī bó 。” zhū qiàn rú yíng yíng yī fú ， liǎn shàng lù chū gōng jìng yǐ jí de shén sè ， tā suī yóu qín yán yǐn rù tiān yá hǎi gé ， yě bài le yī wèi yuán yīng qī zhǎng lǎo zuò shī fù ， dàn yǔ hòu qī dà xiū shì xiāng bǐ ， dì wèi zì rán yuǎn yuǎn bù rú 。
“参见姬师伯。”朱倩如盈盈一拂，脸上露出恭敬以极的神色，她虽由秦妍引入天涯海阁，也拜了一位元婴期长老做师傅，但与后期大修士相比，地位自然远远不如。
"Rubbish! Even if it were a master from one of the Seven Great Sects, what difference would that make? As third senior at the Sea Edge Pavilion, my status isn't inferior to his. At most, I'd show some respect. Why is she acting so subservient unless…?"
zhì yú tā shēn hòu de jǐ míng zhù jī qī xiǎo xiū xiān zhě ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， gèng shì lián dà qì yě bù gǎn chū ， běn mén shī zǔ jí de rén wù ， gēn běn jiù bú shì tā men xiāng jiàn jiù néng jiàn dào de 。
至于她身后的几名筑基期小修仙者，此时此刻，更是连大气也不敢出，本门师祖级的人物，根本就不是她们相见就能见到的。
"How?" a nearby person asked anxiously.
“ bà le ！”
“罢了！”
"Unless the other party is an immortal from the Separation Stage, Senior Daoist Kuai's actions and demeanor make sense."
jī yuè rú bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， liǎn shàng què dài zhe yī sī fèn nù ， bié kàn tā gāng gāng shuō dé qīng sōng ， kě xīn lǐ què bù mǎn dào jí chù ， bì jìng zài jìng yuè dǎo shā rén ， jiù shì méi jiāng tiān yá hǎi gé fàng zài yǎn zhōng 。
姬月如摆了摆手，脸上却带着一丝愤怒，别看她刚刚说得轻松，可心里却不满到极处，毕竟在静月岛杀人，就是没将天涯海阁放在眼中。
…
zhǐ bù guò shì hòu qī xiū xiān zhě ， suǒ yǐ tā cái méi yǒu lì kè fā zuò 。
只不过是后期修仙者，所以她才没有立刻发作。
"Immortal from the Separation Stage?"
zuò wèi huó le jǐ bǎi suì de lǎo guài wù ， zuò shì qíng kěn dìng shì móu dìng ér hòu dòng de ， xiān kàn kàn duì fāng bèi jǐng rú hé ， rán hòu zài jué dìng gāi zěn me zuò 。
做为活了几百岁的老怪物，做事情肯定是谋定而后动的，先看看对方背景如何，然后再决定该怎么做。
The surrounding people fell silent; in the human world, that was truly standing at the pinnacle. The Sea Edge Pavilion was invincible on the outer sea, as even Fairy Yuyan had single-handedly fought her way to fame five hundred years ago.
suī rán shuō qū qū yī míng hòu qī xiū shì tiān yá hǎi gé hái bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， dàn rú jīn jú shì guǐ yì ， ruò wú bì yào ， tā yě bù xiǎng wèi běn mén duō shù qiáng dí 。
虽然说区区一名后期修士天涯海阁还不放在眼里，但如今局势诡异，若无必要，她也不想为本门多树强敌。
Was this ancient monster still concealing his true strength? If he were indeed an immortal from the Separation Stage, everyone's expressions turned more respectful.
bì jìng néng gòu jìn jiē dào yuán yīng hòu qī ， sàn xiū de kě néng xìng shì wēi hū qí wēi dì ， bèi hòu kěn dìng dū yǒu zhe pǒ wèi qiáng dà de zōng mén shì lì 。
毕竟能够进阶到元婴后期，散修的可能性是微乎其微地，背后肯定都有着颇为强大的宗门势力。
Although unexpected, Lin Xuan's composure remained unchanged. Calm as a mountain in front of a collapsing building, two centuries of ups and downs had honed his demeanor to the utmost stability.
jī yuè rú xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， huǎn huǎn zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， mù guāng zài lín xuān liǎn shàng sǎo guò ， qiào liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què yī xià zi biàn dé gǔ guài qǐ lái le 。
姬月如心中如此想着，缓缓转过头颅，目光在林轩脸上扫过，俏脸上的表情却一下子变得古怪起来了。
He looked at the beautiful woman before him with respect and smiled: "Lady Kuai Yu, there's no need for such formalities. I'm also an advanced-stage婴灵; this title of senior is beyond me."
bù mǎn xiāo shī ， zhuǎn ér bèi jīng yà suǒ dài tì ：“ shì ， shì …… nǐ ？”
不满消失，转而被惊讶所代替：“是，是……你？”
"Haha, Senior Lin, you flatter me. Your powers can't be gauged by your stage. Even compared to the Separation Stage, you're not inferior. Considering your relationship with Aunt Yuyan, it's only fitting," Kuai Yu said with a smile.
“ bù cuò ， jī dào yǒu ， wǒ men yòu jiàn miàn le 。” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“不错，姬道友，我们又见面了。”林轩微笑着说。
Lin Xuan frowned at her ambiguous words. Whether intentional or unintentional, she had made things complicated. Moon pouted, while the other cultivators were visibly frightened.
“ hē hē ， huān yíng lín qián bèi guāng lín tiān yá hǎi gé ， nín zěn me bù zǎo shuō ， dài zài zhè jìng yuè dǎo zuò shén me ， ruò zhī dào nín jià guāng lín ， qiè shēn yí dìng dài lǐng zhū wèi shī jiě men qīn zì chū yíng 。” jī yuè rú yíng yíng yī fú ， jìng yǐ wǎn bèi zì jū qǐ lái le 。
“呵呵，欢迎林前辈光临天涯海阁，您怎么不早说，待在这静月岛做什么，若知道您驾光临，妾身一定带领诸位师姐们亲自出迎。”姬月如盈盈一福，竟以晚辈自居起来了。
Famous Fairy Yuyan was notorious in the Blood Sea; this Cloud Province's top female cultivator had single-handedly killed thousands of others within a short time.
tā bǎi chū zhè yàng de zī tài ， zhōu wéi de xiū xiān zhě wú bù mù dèng kǒu dāi 。
她摆出这样的姿态，周围的修仙者无不目瞪口呆。
In the outer sea, few knew of Wuting Tower, but mentioning Fairy Yuyan would make everyone from the灵动期 to the advanced-stage婴灵 aware. Even in remote places, no one dared to speak disrespectfully about her name.
“ dà gē ， wǒ méi kàn cuò ba ！”
“大哥，我没看错吧！”
Better safe than sorry; if Fairy Yuyan found out someone was speaking ill of her behind her back, the consequences were unimaginable.
“ wǒ yě huái yí zì jǐ de yǎn jīng chū wèn tí le ， jī xiān zi tóng yàng shì yuán yīng hòu qī ， yǔ duì fāng jìng jiè xiāng tóng ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， dōu yīng píng bèi lùn jiāo ， zěn me ……”
“我也怀疑自己的眼睛出问题了，姬仙子同样是元婴后期，与对方境界相同，于情于理，都应平辈论交，怎么……”
On Jing Yue Island, they had heard her gossip. If Lady Yuyan was angered and wanted to kill them for it…
“ bù cuò ， jī zhǎng lǎo rú cǐ dī méi shùn mù ， nán dào duì fāng shì qī dà shì lì bié de mén pài de zōng zhǔ ？” lìng yī rén nán nán de kāi kǒu le 。
“不错，姬长老如此低眉顺目，难道对方是七大势力别的门派的宗主？”另一人喃喃的开口了。
Thinking this, the onlookers groaned inwardly. Fortunately, Lin Xuan's voice cut through their thoughts: "So, Senior Kuai Yu knows about my bond with Aunt Yuyan?"
“ hú shuō ， jiù suàn shì qī dà shì lì de zōng zhǔ yòu rú hé ， tiān yá hǎi gé sān zhǎng lǎo de shēn fèn nán dào huì chà le ， zuì duō lüè biǎo gōng jìng ér yǐ ， zěn me huì rú cǐ dī shēng xià qì ， chú fēi ……”
“胡说，就算是七大势力的宗主又如何，天涯海阁三长老的身份难道会差了，最多略表恭敬而已，怎么会如此低声下气，除非……”
"Of course. I met her recently and heard of your fame from her mouth. It would please Aunt very much to see you here," Kuai Yu said with a charming smile.
“ rú hé ？” páng biān yī rén xīn jí de fā wèn le 。
“如何？”旁边一人心急的发问了。
"Hmm." Lin Xuan nodded, maintaining his composure. The other cultivators breathed a sigh of relief around him.
“ chú fēi ， duì fāng shì chuán shuō zhōng de lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， jī zhǎng lǎo de chēng hū yǔ biǎo qíng cái shuō dé tōng 。”
“除非，对方是传说中的离合期修仙者，姬长老的称呼与表情才说得通。”
Bonded by gold thread, it was their misunderstanding. However, considering that this person could bond with the top female cultivator in Cloud Province, his powers were undoubtedly formidable.
……
……
Although none had seen Fairy Yuyan, everyone knew that the Sea Edge Pavilion's senior elder was incredibly proud. If Lin Xuan didn't possess extraordinary abilities, how could she have taken a liking to him?
“ lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ？”
“离合期修仙者？”
Lin Xuan became the center of attention as he spoke: "Lady Kuai Yu…"
zhōu wéi de rén quán bù chén mò ， jiù rén jiè lái shuō ， nà yǐ jīng shì zhēn zhèng zhàn zài le diān fēng ， tiān yá hǎi gé zài wài hǎi wú rén gǎn rě ， jiù shì wǔ bǎi nián qián rú yān xiān zi yǐ yī rén zhī lì ， shī zhǎn jīng rén shén tōng dǎ chū lái de 。
周围的人全部沉默，就人界来说，那已经是真正站在了巅峰，天涯海阁在外海无人敢惹，就是五百年前如嫣仙子以一人之力，施展惊人神通打出来的。
"Please command me," Kuai Yu said respectfully.
nán dào yǎn qián zhè lǎo guài wù yī jiù zài yǐn cáng xiū wèi me ， qí shí tā shì chuán shuō zhōng de lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， xiǎng dào cǐ chù ， zhōu wéi rén de biǎo qíng dōu biàn dé gèng jiā jìng wèi qǐ lái le 。
难道眼前这老怪物依旧在隐藏修为么，其实他是传说中的离合期修仙者，想到此处，周围人的表情都变得更加敬畏起来了。
"I came here with something important to discuss with Aunt Yuyan. Now that my presence is known, please guide me," Lin Xuan said calmly.
zhè zhǒng chǎng miàn ， zhè zhǒng xiào guǒ ， suī rán yǒu xiē yì wài ， bù guò yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yī jiù shì fēn háo yì sè bù lù 。
这种场面，这种效果，虽然有些意外，不过以林轩的城府，依旧是分毫异色不露。
"Understood."
tài shān bēng yú qián ér bù biàn sè ， liǎng bǎi nián de fēng fēng yǔ yǔ ， zǎo yǐ jiāng lín xuān de qì dù mó liàn dé chén wěn yǐ jí 。
泰山崩于前而不变色，两百年的风风雨雨，早已将林轩的气度磨练得沉稳以极。
Kuai Yu nodded and was prepared to comply. However, just then, a weak voice called out: "P… Pioneers, can you wait for a moment?"
tā kàn le yī yǎn qián miàn shén sè gōng jìng de měi fù ， wēi xiào zhe kāi kǒu le ：“ yuè rú xiān zi hé xū kè qì ， lín mǒu yě bù guò yuán yīng hòu qī ， yǔ dào yǒu tóng jí ， zhè yī shēng qián bèi ， wǒ kě dāng bù qǐ 。”
他看了一眼前面神色恭敬的美妇，微笑着开口了：“月如仙子何需客气，林某也不过元婴后期，与道友同级，这一声前辈，我可当不起。”
In the face of two advanced-stage cultivators, everyone fell silent. Li Zhilan's heart raced as if it were about to leap from her chest.
“ hē hē ， lín qián bèi kè qì le ， nín de shén tōng qǐ néng yǐ jìng jiè chuǎi mó ， jí biàn bǐ zhī lí hé yě bù xùn sè ， hé kuàng nín yǔ rú yān shī shū yòu shì nà yàng de guān xì ， zhè yī shēng qián bèi nín zì rán dāng dé qǐ 。” jī yuè rú qīng xiào zhe kāi kǒu le 。
“呵呵，林前辈客气了，您的神通岂能以境界揣摩，即便比之离合也不逊色，何况您与如嫣师叔又是那样的关系，这一声前辈您自然当得起。”姬月如轻笑着开口了。
After all, she was only at the灵动期; in the eyes of these experts, she was insignificant like an ant.
lín xuān tīng le méi tou yí zhòu ， duì fāng yě bù zhī yǒu xīn hái shì wú yì ， jiāng huà shuō dé ài mèi yǐ jí ， páng biān de yuè ér juē qǐ le xiǎo zuǐ ， zhì yú zhōu wéi de qí tā xiū xiān zhě ， zé yí gè gè xià dé liǎn sè fā bái 。
林轩听了眉头一皱，对方也不知有心还是无意，将话说得暧昧以极，旁边的月儿噘起了小嘴，至于周围的其他修仙者，则一个个吓得脸色发白。
Although Lin Xuan appeared amiable, high-stage cultivators could be unpredictable. If she spoke out of turn and provoked their displeasure, she would face dire consequences.
mèng rú yān de wēi míng yú shī shān xuè hǎi ， zhè wèi yún zhōu dì yī nǚ xiū ， céng yǐ yī rén zhī lì ， zài duǎn duǎn de shí jiān lǐ ， miè shā le shǔ yǐ wàn jì de xiū shì 。
梦如嫣的威名于尸山血海，这位云州第一女修，曾以一人之力，在短短的时间里，灭杀了数以万计的修士。
However, this opportunity couldn't be missed. Kuai Yu, wasn't that her mother's teacher?
zài wài hǎi ， tí qǐ wàng tíng lóu ， zhī dào de kǒng pà méi yǒu jǐ gè ， dàn yī shuō mèng rú yān ， cóng líng dòng qī dào yuán yīng qī ， nǎ yí gè huì bù xiǎo de ， jiù suàn zài piān pì yǐ jí de dì fāng tí dào tā de míng zì ， yě méi yǒu rén gǎn yòng bù jìng de yán yǔ 。
在外海，提起望亭楼，知道的恐怕没有几个，但一说梦如嫣，从灵动期到元婴期，哪一个会不晓得，就算在偏僻以极的地方提到她的名字，也没有人敢用不敬的言语。
After enduring countless hardships to reach the Sea Edge Pavilion, it was both a dream come true and an attempt to fulfill her mother's wishes.
bù pà yī wàn ， jiù pà wàn yī ， rú guǒ bèi mèng rú yān zhī dào yǒu rén bèi hòu shuō tā de huài huà ， nà jié guǒ rú hé ， rén rén xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， kěn dìng shì wàn jié bù fù 。
不怕一万，就怕万一，如果被梦如嫣知道有人背后说她的坏话，那结果如何，人人心中有数，肯定是万劫不复。
Even if there were dangers, she had to take the risk; such opportunities were rare and might never come again.
ér zài jìng yuè dǎo ， jū rán tīng dào tā de bā guà le ， wàn yī nà wèi rú yān xiān zi xīn zhōng xiū nù ， xiǎng yào shā rén miè kǒu ……
而在静月岛，居然听到她的八卦了，万一那位如嫣仙子心中羞怒，想要杀人灭口……
Determination flashed in Li Zhilan's eyes. Despite her low cultivation level, her mind was remarkably resilient—much like Lin Xuan from long ago.
xiǎng dào cǐ chù ， páng guān de xiū xiān zhě àn àn jiào kǔ ， hǎo zài lín xuān de shēng yīn jí shí chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ zhào zhè me shuō ， jī shī zhí shì zhī dào wǒ yǔ rú yān jiě jiě yì jié jīn lán de shì ？”
想到此处，旁观的修仙者暗暗叫苦，好在林轩的声音及时传入耳朵：“照这么说，姬师侄是知道我与如嫣姐姐义结金兰的事？”
"Oh, I almost forgot about you." Lin Xuan turned his head with a smile.
“ zì rán xiǎo de ， wǎn bèi bù jiǔ qián hái méng shī shū zhào jiàn guò ， cóng tā de kǒu lǐ ， gèng shì tīng shuō le qián bèi de wēi míng ， nín lái dào tiān yá hǎi gé ， shī shū tā lǎo rén jiā yí dìng fēi cháng gāo xìng 。” jī yuè rú qiǎo xiào qiàn xī de kāi kǒu le 。
“自然晓得，晚辈不久前还蒙师叔召见过，从她的口里，更是听说了前辈的威名，您来到天涯海阁，师叔她老人家一定非常高兴。”姬月如巧笑倩兮的开口了。
"Senior, do you recognize this young Daoist?" Kuai Yu looked surprised as she asked.
“ ń 。” lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， liǎn shàng bù dòng shēng sè ， ér zhōu wéi qí yú de xiū xiān zhě ， zé wú bù lù chū sōng le yì kǒu qì de shén sè 。
“嗯。”林轩点了点头，脸上不动声色，而周围其余的修仙者，则无不露出松了一口气的神色。
"Yes," Lin Xuan nodded. "I have an unfinished business with this girl. Originally, I planned to find a secluded place, but now it's unnecessary. After my transaction with her, please protect her safety."
yì jié jīn lán ， yuán lái shì zì jǐ zhè xiē rén xiǎng wāi ， bù guò huà yòu shuō huí lái ， yǎn qián zhī rén néng yǔ yún zhōu dì yī nǚ xiū jié bài ， yī shēn shén tōng ， kǒng pà zhēn de fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
义结金兰，原来是自己这些人想歪，不过话又说回来，眼前之人能与云州第一女修结拜，一身神通，恐怕真的非同小可。
"Haha, Senior, if you give me the command, I will certainly comply. If anyone dares to harm this young Daoist, they'll be making trouble for our sect," Kuai Yu said.

在场的人虽然没有见过梦如嫣，但传说那位天涯海阁太上长老的性格，乃是骄傲到极处，林轩若没有过人神通，怎么可能被她看中？
Phantom Rain: Do we still have any monthly passes? Ugh, I'm going crazy; I need to write tomorrow's chapter tonight too. 555, please give me some monthly passes!
"No need for such formalities."
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a faint smile as he chatted with Zhu Qianru. The meeting of old acquaintances brought him some joy, but his expression turned grim when he looked at the several cultivators lying on the ground.
These mere condensation core cultivators dared to be disrespectful toward him?
Although Lin Xuan did not seek revenge for every slight, he was certainly no magnanimous person. In the cultivation world, it was a matter of survival of the fittest. If they were blind enough to provoke his ire, then they would face severe consequences.
In this cutthroat world, one could never be too careful. Even his precious Moon had dared to tease them; Lin Xuan couldn't bear to let that slide.
"You may all go to hell."
Ignoring the pleas of the young nobles, Lin Xuan waved his sleeves and a few sword lights shot out, blindingly bright as they struck their heads with force.
"Senior, run for your life!"
Lü Wuyi led the way as several unlucky cultivators showed signs of shock. However, immobilized by the pressure from an advanced-stage婴灵, they could not move at all.
Blazing blood splattered.
The sword lights swirled around and struck their heads, leaving them unconscious.
"Enough!"
Kuai Yu looked displeased but waved her hand. Although she had spoken lightly just now, her heart was seething with anger. After all, killing on Jing Yue Island without considering the interests of the Sea Edge Pavilion showed a lack of respect for it.
Since they were only advanced-stage cultivators, she hadn't reacted immediately.
As an ancient monster who lived for hundreds of years, she always planned meticulously before acting. She would first assess their background and then decide how to proceed.
Although a few advanced-stage cultivators might not be worth much consideration for the Sea Edge Pavilion, with the current strange circumstances, she didn't want to unnecessarily make more enemies for her sect.
After all, advancing to an advanced-stage婴灵 was extremely rare among lone practitioners; there must be powerful sects backing them.
Kuai Yu's thoughts ran along these lines as she slowly turned her head and scanned Lin Xuan. Her expression suddenly changed from anger to surprise.
Her displeasure vanished, replaced by shock: "You… you?"
"Indeed, Senior Daoist Kuai, we meet again," Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"Haha, welcome, Senior Lin, to the Sea Edge Pavilion. Why didn't you say sooner? If I had known you were here, Lady would have led my sisters out to greet you personally." Kuai Yu curtsied, taking on the demeanor of a junior disciple.
The surrounding cultivators were left speechless by her actions.
"Brother, did I see right?"
"I'm starting to think there's something wrong with my eyes. Both of us are advanced-stage婴灵; by both reason and emotion, we should be equals. Why…?"
"It's true, Senior Daoist Kuai is acting so humbly. Could the other party be a master from one of the Seven Great Sects?" another person muttered.
"Rubbish! Even if it were a master from one of the Seven Great Sects, what difference would that make? As third senior at the Sea Edge Pavilion, my status isn't inferior to his. At most, I'd show some respect. Why is she acting so subservient unless…?"
"How?" a nearby person asked anxiously.
"Unless the other party is an immortal from the Separation Stage, Senior Daoist Kuai's actions and demeanor make sense."
…
"Immortal from the Separation Stage?"
The surrounding people fell silent; in the human world, that was truly standing at the pinnacle. The Sea Edge Pavilion was invincible on the outer sea, as even Fairy Yuyan had single-handedly fought her way to fame five hundred years ago.
Was this ancient monster still concealing his true strength? If he were indeed an immortal from the Separation Stage, everyone's expressions turned more respectful.
Although unexpected, Lin Xuan's composure remained unchanged. Calm as a mountain in front of a collapsing building, two centuries of ups and downs had honed his demeanor to the utmost stability.
He looked at the beautiful woman before him with respect and smiled: "Lady Kuai Yu, there's no need for such formalities. I'm also an advanced-stage婴灵; this title of senior is beyond me."
"Haha, Senior Lin, you flatter me. Your powers can't be gauged by your stage. Even compared to the Separation Stage, you're not inferior. Considering your relationship with Aunt Yuyan, it's only fitting," Kuai Yu said with a smile.
Lin Xuan frowned at her ambiguous words. Whether intentional or unintentional, she had made things complicated. Moon pouted, while the other cultivators were visibly frightened.
Famous Fairy Yuyan was notorious in the Blood Sea; this Cloud Province's top female cultivator had single-handedly killed thousands of others within a short time.
In the outer sea, few knew of Wuting Tower, but mentioning Fairy Yuyan would make everyone from the灵动期 to the advanced-stage婴灵 aware. Even in remote places, no one dared to speak disrespectfully about her name.
Better safe than sorry; if Fairy Yuyan found out someone was speaking ill of her behind her back, the consequences were unimaginable.
On Jing Yue Island, they had heard her gossip. If Lady Yuyan was angered and wanted to kill them for it…
Thinking this, the onlookers groaned inwardly. Fortunately, Lin Xuan's voice cut through their thoughts: "So, Senior Kuai Yu knows about my bond with Aunt Yuyan?"
"Of course. I met her recently and heard of your fame from her mouth. It would please Aunt very much to see you here," Kuai Yu said with a charming smile.
"Hmm." Lin Xuan nodded, maintaining his composure. The other cultivators breathed a sigh of relief around him.
Bonded by gold thread, it was their misunderstanding. However, considering that this person could bond with the top female cultivator in Cloud Province, his powers were undoubtedly formidable.
Although none had seen Fairy Yuyan, everyone knew that the Sea Edge Pavilion's senior elder was incredibly proud. If Lin Xuan didn't possess extraordinary abilities, how could she have taken a liking to him?
Lin Xuan became the center of attention as he spoke: "Lady Kuai Yu…"
"Please command me," Kuai Yu said respectfully.
"I came here with something important to discuss with Aunt Yuyan. Now that my presence is known, please guide me," Lin Xuan said calmly.
"Understood."
Kuai Yu nodded and was prepared to comply. However, just then, a weak voice called out: "P… Pioneers, can you wait for a moment?"
In the face of two advanced-stage cultivators, everyone fell silent. Li Zhilan's heart raced as if it were about to leap from her chest.
After all, she was only at the灵动期; in the eyes of these experts, she was insignificant like an ant.
Although Lin Xuan appeared amiable, high-stage cultivators could be unpredictable. If she spoke out of turn and provoked their displeasure, she would face dire consequences.
However, this opportunity couldn't be missed. Kuai Yu, wasn't that her mother's teacher?
After enduring countless hardships to reach the Sea Edge Pavilion, it was both a dream come true and an attempt to fulfill her mother's wishes.
Even if there were dangers, she had to take the risk; such opportunities were rare and might never come again.
Determination flashed in Li Zhilan's eyes. Despite her low cultivation level, her mind was remarkably resilient—much like Lin Xuan from long ago.
"Oh, I almost forgot about you." Lin Xuan turned his head with a smile.
"Senior, do you recognize this young Daoist?" Kuai Yu looked surprised as she asked.
"Yes," Lin Xuan nodded. "I have an unfinished business with this girl. Originally, I planned to find a secluded place, but now it's unnecessary. After my transaction with her, please protect her safety."
"Haha, Senior, if you give me the command, I will certainly comply. If anyone dares to harm this young Daoist, they'll be making trouble for our sect," Kuai Yu said.
