“ dì di ， zěn me yàng ， nǐ kě yuàn yì yǔ jiě jiě qù mào yī mào xiǎn me ？” mèng rú yān de shēng yīn zhōu rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn yǐn yǐn hán zhe jǐ fēn qī dài zhī sè 。
“弟弟，怎么样，你可愿意与姐姐去冒一冒险么？”梦如嫣的声音舟入耳朵，里面隐隐含着几分期待之色。
"Brother, how about it? Would you be willing to take a risk with me?" Dream Ruyan's voice entered Zhou Yu's ears, carrying a hint of anticipation.
“ jiě ， chēng shuō xiào le ， rú cǐ hǎo de jī huì ， xiǎo dì qǐ huì cuò guò ， xiū luó zhī mén gù rán wēi xiǎn chóng chóng ， dàn yǔ tiān jié xiāng bǐ ， què yòu bù suàn shén me ， zhǐ shì hái yǒu jǐ jiàn shì qíng ， xiǎo dì yào qǐng jiào cái kě 。” lín xuān mù guāng shǎn shuò ， shén sè píng jìng de kāi kǒu le 。
“姐，称说笑了，如此好的机会，小弟岂会错过，修罗之门固然危险重重，但与天劫相比，却又不算什么，只是还有几件事情，小弟要请教才可。”林轩目光闪烁，神色平静的开口了。
Lin Xuan's gaze flickered as he calmly spoke, "Sister, this is just a joke. Such a good opportunity, I wouldn't miss it. Although the Path of Devouring Demons is dangerous, compared to facing the heavenly tribulation, it’s not that significant. However, there are still some matters I need to ask about."
“ zī shì tǐ dà ， nǐ yǒu shén me yí huò ， jǐn guǎn shuō ， zhǐ yào jiě jiě zhī dào de ， jiù bú huì yǐn mán shén me 。”
“兹事体大，你有什么疑惑，尽管说，只要姐姐知道的，就不会隐瞒什么。”
"Such an important matter, what do you doubt? Just speak up. If Sister knows, she won’t hide anything from you."
mèng rú yān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， měi mù zhōng shǎn guò yī sī zàn xǔ zhī sè 。
梦如嫣点了点头，美目中闪过一丝赞许之色。
Dream Ruyan nodded, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes.
yǒu dǎn yǒu shí ， guài bù dé lín xuān yī jiè sàn xiū ， què néng jìn jiē lí hé ， rú guǒ tā gāng gāng shén me yě bù shuō ， jiù yī kǒu dā yìng xià lái ， zì jǐ suī rán yě xīn zhōng huān xǐ ， dàn duì lín xuān de píng jià ， què huì shāo dǎ zhé kòu yī xiē 。
有胆有识，怪不得林轩一介散修，却能进阶离合，如果他刚刚什么也不说，就一口答应下来，自己虽然也心中欢喜，但对林轩的评价，却会稍打折扣一些。
Even if she was delighted, her evaluation of Lin Xuan would be slightly lower if he had not said anything and immediately agreed. After all, such a big matter should be clarified first; it wasn't just about whether they trusted each other as siblings but the right attitude before undertaking a major task.
bì jìng zhè me dà de shì qíng ， zǒng yào wèn qīng chǔ ， zhè bú shì jiě dì liǎ xìn bù xìn rèn de wèn tí ， ér shì zuò yī jiàn dà shì qián ， yīng gāi yǒu de tài dù 。
毕竟这么大的事情，总要问清楚，这不是姐弟俩信不信任的问题，而是做一件大事前，应该有的态度。
"Riches come from taking risks."
fù guì xiǎn zhōng qiú 。
富贵险中求。
If Ruyan lacked courage, she would have been destined to be mediocre. But simply being brave didn’t mean everything; one had to consider every detail for higher success rates.
rú mù méi yǒu dǎn shí ， nà jiù zhù dìng zhǐ néng yōng lù ， kě gǎn qù zuò ， bìng bù dài biǎo shén me ， hái yào jiāng xì jié kǎo lǜ qīng chǔ ， nà yàng chéng gōng lǜ cái néng gāo de 。
如慕没有胆识，那就注定只能庸碌，可敢去做，并不代表什么，还要将细节考虑清楚，那样成功率才能高的。
"I've heard that this time, the Sea Pavilion and the two sects clashed, and Lingyun Pavilion helped out. I imagine he has a good relationship with you. Why don't you team up? He's the top martial artist in the world," Lin Xuan's eyes sparkled as he spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
“ wǒ tīng shuō zhè cì tiān yá hǎi gé yǔ liǎng pài chōng tū ， tíng lóu céng chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， xiǎng bì tā yǔ jiě jiě guān xì bù cuò ， nà jiě wèi hé bù yǔ tā lián shǒu ， duì fāng kě shì rén jiè dì yī gāo shǒu ？” lín xuān yǎn zhōng jīng máng shǎn shuò ， yǔ qì zhōng dài zhe yī sī yí huò de kāi kǒu le 。
“我听说这次天涯海阁与两派冲突，亭楼曾出手相助，想必他与姐姐关系不错，那姐为何不与他联手，对方可是人界第一高手？”林轩眼中精芒闪烁，语气中带着一丝疑惑的开口了。
"Ahem," Lin Xuan was at a loss for words, but he didn’t show any signs of it on his face. "Sister, Ruyan Immortal didn't end up marrying Lingyun Pavilion, right? And his main wife position has been vacant until recently."
“ bú yào tí nǎ fù xīn bó xìng de jiā huo 。” mèng rú yān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī nù sè ， suī rán wàng tíng lóu zhè cì bāng le tiān yá hǎi gé ， dàn cǐ nǚ duì tā de hǎo gǎn yě méi yǒu zēng jiā xǔ duō ， zhèng yīng le nà jù sú yǔ ， bīng dòng sān chǐ ， fēi yī rì zhī hán de 。
“不要提哪负心薄幸的家伙。”梦如嫣眼中闪过一丝怒色，虽然望亭楼这次帮了天涯海阁，但此女对他的好感也没有增加许多，正应了那句俗语，冰冻三尺，非一日之寒的。
"That’s beside the point. In any case, Lingyun Pavilion is a man who likes women," Dream Ruyan turned her head and spoke with an icy voice.
“ fù xīn bó xìng ？” lín xuān yī dāi ， biǎo qíng dùn shí biàn dé yǒu xiē gǔ guài ：“ nán dào jiě jiě yǔ wàng tíng lóu zhī jiān ”
“负心薄幸？”林轩一呆，表情顿时变得有些古怪：“难道姐姐与望亭楼之间”
"Right, that's why I think my brother is right to be angry. He should have remained unmarried his whole life, always thinking of Ruyan Immortal," Lin Xuan quickly frowned and pretended to be indignant.
“ hú shuō ， xiǎo dì nǐ zài xìn kǒu kāi hé ， xiǎo xīn wǒ fān liǎn le 。” mèng rú yān yī shēng jiāo hē ， jiāng lín xuān xià dé yī duō suo 。
“胡说，小弟你再信口开河，小心我翻脸了。”梦如嫣一声娇喝，将林轩吓得一哆嗦。
"That’s right, you are a good little brother who understands things." Dream Ruyan finally smiled.
rú mù shì pǔ tōng de lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì hài pà shén me ， dàn yǎn qián zhī rén bù tóng ， lín xuān kě bù xiǎng yǔ jiě jiě dòng hé kuàng shì zhè yàng mò míng qí miào de lǐ yóu 。
如慕是普通的离合期修仙者，林轩自然不会害怕什么，但眼前之人不同，林轩可不想与姐姐动何况是这样莫名其妙的理由。
Lin Xuan chuckled nervously but inwardly disagreed strongly. He even felt some sympathy for the first martial artist in the Twelve States of Heaven Clouds.
“ jiě ， mí bié shēng qì ， xiǎo dì zhǐ shì hào qí ， mí yǔ wàng tíng lóu jiū jìng shén me guān xì ？”
“姐，弥别生气，小弟只是好奇，弥与望亭楼究竟什么关系？”
Who said all cultivators were selfish?
“ wǒ yǔ nà jiā huo ， bā gān zi yě dǎ bù zhe ， zhǐ bù guò nà jiā huo ， chà yì diǎn chéng le wǒ de jiě fū ， dàn tā yě tài hào sè ”
“我与那家伙，八竿子也打不着，只不过那家伙，差一点成了我的姐夫，但他也太好色”
Indeed, there were exceptions. Lingyun Pavilion was an example of a man with true feelings and integrity.
rú yān xiān zi qì gǔ gǔ de kāi kǒu ， suí hòu yòu wēi wēi tàn xī ， huǎn huǎn xiàng lín xuān jiǎng chū le bā bǎi nián qián de nà duàn yǐn mì 。
如嫣仙子气鼓鼓的开口，随后又微微叹息，缓缓像林轩讲出了八百年前的那段隐秘。
His deep love for Ruyan Immortal didn’t need to be mentioned; he had been guarding the Sea Pavilion for eight hundred years. Unfortunately, Sister was too stubborn, turning a kind-hearted man into a lecher.
“ dì di ， nǐ píng píng lǐ ， wǒ jiě jiě shì sǐ zài le fēng liáng de shǒu lǐ ， tíng lóu yě yǐ jīng jìn lì ， zhè yì diǎn ， wǒ bù guài tā ， kě tíng lóu rú guǒ zhēn ài wǒ jiě jiě ， jiù yīng gāi zhōng shēn bù qǔ ， kě nà lǎo jiā huǒ ， tān huā hào sè ， méi duō jiǔ ， jiù xǐ xīn yàn jiù ， jiāng wǒ jiě jiě pāo zhū nǎo hòu ， shì qiè nà le yí gè yòu yí gè 。” mèng rú jiū hèn hèn de shuō 。
“弟弟，你评评理，我姐姐是死在了风良的手里，亭楼也已经尽力，这一点，我不怪他，可亭楼如果真爱我姐姐，就应该终身不娶，可那老家伙，贪花好色，没多久，就喜新厌旧，将我姐姐抛诸脑后，侍妾纳了一个又一个。”梦如鸠恨恨的说。
However, if Dream Ruyan hadn't harbored any ill will towards Lingyun Pavilion, would she invite him to enter the Path of Devouring Demons? After all, Lingyun Pavilion had been feared for over a thousand years in the Twelve States. Even with his great abilities, he couldn’t match the top martial artist in the world.
“ hāi hāi ” lín xuān què yǒu xiē wú yǔ le ， dāng rán biǎo miàn shàng ， què bù gǎn lù chū fēn háo yì sè ：“ jiě ， rú bīng xiān zi ， zuì zhōng hǎo xiàng méi yǒu jià gěi tíng lóu ba ， ér qiě tā zhèng shì yì zhí kōng xuán zhe ， bǎi nián hòu ， cái nà le dì yì míng nǚ zǐ ”
“咳咳”林轩却有些无语了，当然表面上，却不敢露出分毫异色：“姐，如冰仙子，最终好像没有嫁给亭楼吧，而且他正室一直空悬着，百年后，才纳了第一名女子”
Lin Xuan understood this clearly.
“ nà yòu rú hé ， zǒng zhī wàng tíng lóu jiù shì tān huā hào sè ， nán dào nǐ rèn wéi tā zhè me zuò shì duì le ？” rú yān xiān zi zhuǎn guò zhēn shǒu ， shēng yīn bīng hán de kāi kǒu 。
“那又如何，总之望亭楼就是贪花好色，难道你认为他这么做是对了？”如嫣仙子转过臻首，声音冰寒的开口。
"Then, do you know if other old monsters are aware of this teleportation array? If I'm not mistaken, it has a limit on the number of people it can transport. Will we face competitors?" Lin Xuan said with a serious expression.
“ jiě ， kàn mí shuō de ， xiǎo dì dāng rán rèn wéi wàng tíng lóu shì bú duì le ， tā yīng gāi zhōng shēn bù qǔ ， yì zhí sī niàn rú bīng xiān zi cái shì 。” lín xuān máng méi tou yí zhòu ， zhuāng chū yì fèn tián yīng de biǎo qíng kāi kǒu 。
“姐，看弥说的，小弟当然认为望亭楼是不对了，他应该终身不娶，一直思念如冰仙子才是。”林轩忙眉头一皱，装出义愤填膺的表情开口。
"Don't worry; Sister only learned about this secret by chance. No one else knows except you and me. However, in the Netherworld Realm..."
“ jiù shì ma ， zhè cái shì wǒ de hǎo dì di ， míng bái shì lǐ 。” mèng rú yān de qiào liǎn shàng ， zhōng yú lù chū le jǐ fēn xiào yì 。
“就是嘛，这才是我的好弟弟，明白事理。”梦如嫣的俏脸上，终于露出了几分笑意。
"Nevertheless, those big demons won’t bother going to the Spirit Realm."
lín xuān yě hēi hēi hēi de gān xiào qǐ lái ， rán ér nèi xīn shēn chù ， què shì dà dà de bù yǐ wéi rán 。
林轩也嘿嘿嘿的干笑起来，然而内心深处，却是大大的不以为然。
Lin Xuan nodded. The Netherworld Realm and the Spirit Realm were like oil and water. Demons wouldn't go there unless they wanted to die.
shèn zhì yǒu xiē tóng qíng zhè wèi tiān yún shí èr zhōu dì yī gāo shǒu 。
甚至有些同情这位天云十二州第一高手。
"But even without competitors, the teleportation array is deep within the Path of Devouring Demons, and we will face many dangers along the way," Dream Ruyan said openly.
shuí shuō xiū xiān zhě dōu zì sī zì lì zhī tú ？
谁说修仙者都自私自利之徒？
"I understand." Lin Xuan remained calm. "The last question: If my guess is correct, this teleportation array can tear through space but has a limit on the number of people."
fán shì jiē yǒu lì wài ， wàng tíng lóu jiù shì yǒu qíng yǒu yì de kǎi mó 。
凡事皆有例外，望亭楼就是有情有义的楷模。
"Of course, using it once requires at least ten thousand years of rest. Each time, only three people can be transported. Besides you and me, I plan to invite..."
tā duì rú bīng xiān zi de yī fān shēn qíng bú yòng shuō ， bā bǎi nián le dōu hái shǒu hù tiān yá hǎi gé ， kě xī jiě jiě tài guò zhí niù ， piān piān jiāng yī wèi yǒu qíng yǒu yì de nán zi shuō chéng hào sè zhī tú 。
他对如冰仙子的一番深情不用说，八百年了都还守护天涯海阁，可惜姐姐太过执拗，偏偏将一位有情有义的男子说成好色之徒。
"Haha, Sister, let's not rush. I already have my last choice," Dream Ruyan was interrupted before she could finish.
bù guò huàn jù huà shuō ， rú guǒ rú yān xiān zi duì tíng lóu méi yǒu zài hé ， huì bú huì yāo qǐng zì jǐ tóng chuǎng xiū luó zhī mén hái shì liǎng shuō 。
不过换句话说，如果如嫣仙子对亭楼没有再阂，会不会邀请自己同闯修罗之门还是两说。
"You have someone in mind?" Dream Ruyan was surprised. "You mean Yu Yu? Unfortunately, it won't work. Although Qilin is an advanced cultivator, the Path of Devouring Demons is too dangerous, especially the path to the teleportation array. It’s full of dangers for Separation Realm cultivators to even protect themselves."
bì jìng wàng tíng lóu wēi zhèn tiān yún shí èr zhōu dá qiān nián zhī jiǔ ， zì jǐ shén tōng zài chū zhòng ， yě jué dǎ bù guò rén jiè dì yī gāo shǒu 。
毕竟望亭楼威震天云十二州达千年之久，自己神通再出众，也绝打不过人界第一高手。
"I didn’t say Yu Yu," Lin Xuan sighed. He wanted to bring Yu Yu to the Spirit Realm but knew that the path of cultivation was fraught with difficulties and couldn't be taken lightly.
zhè diǎn zì zhī zhī míng lín xuān hái shì yǒu 。
这点自知之明林轩还是有。
"Then, are you thinking..."
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān xīn zhōng de yí wèn yě wèi zhī shì rán le 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩心中的疑问也为之释然了。
"Sister, have you forgotten about Yue'er?"
“ jiě ， nà zhè chuán sòng zhèn de xiāo xī ， qí tā lǎo guài wù qīng bù qīng chǔ ， rú guǒ wǒ méi yǒu liào cuò ， tā chuán sòng de rén shù yīng gāi shì yǒu xiàn zhì de ， wǒ men dào shí hòu huì bú huì chū xiàn jìng zhēng zhě ？” lín xuān shén sè lǐn rán de shuō 。
“姐，那这传送阵的消息，其他老怪物清不清楚，如果我没有料错，他传送的人数应该是有限制的，我们到时候会不会出现竞争者？”林轩神色凛然的说。
Yue'er, that little girl?
“ nǐ fàng xīn ， zhè ge mì mì ， shì jiě jiě zài yí gè jí ǒu rán de jī huì xià cái zhī xiǎo de ， chú le nǐ wǒ ， jué duì zài méi yǒu rén qīng chǔ ， dàn yīn sī jiè nà biān jiù bù hǎo xīn ．．．”
“你放心，这个秘密，是姐姐在一个极偶然的机会下才知晓的，除了你我，绝对再没有人清楚，但阴司界那边就不好心．．．”
"You can’t say such things," Lin Xuan said with a hint of sarcasm. "Don’t you remember, a man should look at his friend anew after three days apart?"
“ bù guò nǐ fàng xīn hǎo le ， nà xiē dà yāo guǐ shì bú huì xiǎng qù líng jiè de 。”
“不过你放心好了，那些大妖鬼是不会想去灵界的。”
He then patted his waist, and a beautiful girl appeared before him.
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， yōu míng dì fǔ yǔ líng jiè shì tóng shuǐ huǒ ， dà yāo guǐ chú fēi huó nì le ， fǒu zé qù nà lǐ zhǎo sǐ me ？
林轩点了点头，幽冥地府与灵界势同水火，大妖鬼除非活腻了，否则去那里找死么？
"Immortal Ruyan, Yue'er has a gift." The girl bowed gracefully, but her entire body exuded an astonishing aura.
“ bù guò suī rán méi yǒu jìng zhēng zhě ， dàn chuán sòng zhèn wèi yú xiū luó zhī mén shēn chù ， yī lù shàng hái bù zhī jīng lì duō shǎo jiān nán xiǎn zǔ ， wēi xiǎn tóng yàng shì bù xiǎo de 。” mèng rú yān kāi chéng bù gōng de shuō 。
“不过虽然没有竞争者，但传送阵位于修罗之门深处，一路上还不知经历多少艰难险阻，危险同样是不小的。”梦如嫣开诚布公的说。
As a Separation Realm cultivator, Dream Ruyan couldn’t remain unmoved by such a display. But this time, she was stunned.
“ zhè wǒ xīn lǐ yǒu shù 。” lín xuān shén sè píng jìng de shuō ：“ zuì hòu yí gè wèn tí ， rú guǒ xiǎo dì suǒ liào méi cuò ， nà chuán sòng zhèn suī néng pò suì xū kōng ， dàn yīng gāi shì yǒu rén shù xiàn zhì de 。”
“这我心里有数。”林轩神色平静的说：“最后一个问题，如果小弟所料没错，那传送阵虽能破碎虚空，但应该是有人数限制的。”
Her gaze swept over Yue'er, and sure enough, she was a Separation Realm cultivator. This little girl must have advanced as well.
“ zhè shì dāng rán ， shǐ yòng yī cì zhì shǎo yào xiē xī wàn nián ， ér qiě měi huí zhǐ néng chuán sòng sān rén ér yǐ ， chú le dì di ， wǒ hái zhǔn bèi yāo qǐng ”
“这是当然，使用一次至少要歇息万年，而且每回只能传送三人而已，除了弟弟，我还准备邀请”
Impossible. Although they were in the gathering spirit space for only a century, Lin Xuan had already advanced from an Incubus to a Separation Realm, setting a precedent that no one could match. For Yue'er to also advance to Separation Realm was too unbelievable.
“ hē hē ， jiě jiě qiě bù máng shuō ， zhè zuì hòu yí gè rén xuǎn wǒ yǐ jīng yǒu le 。” mèng rú yān huà yīn wèi luò ， què yǐ bèi lín qì jiāng huà dǎ duàn le 。
“呵呵，姐姐且不忙说，这最后一个人选我已经有了。”梦如嫣话音未落，却已被林弃将话打断了。
Dream Ruyan would not believe it unless she saw it with her own eyes.
“ nǐ yǐ yǒu rén xuǎn ？” mèng rú yān yī dāi ， suí hòu měi mù zhōng lù chū jǐ fēn liǎo rán ：“ nǐ shì shuō yú yú ba ， kě xī tā bù xíng de ， kǒng què suī rán yě shì yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， dàn xiū luó zhī mén tài wēi xiǎn le ， yóu qí shì tōng wǎng chuán sòng zhèn de nà tiáo lù ， bù bù jīng jí ， lí hé qī xiū shì néng fǒu zì bǎo dōu shì wèn tí ， tā qù ”
“你已有人选？”梦如嫣一呆，随后美目中露出几分了然：“你是说娱娱吧，可惜她不行的，孔雀虽然也是元婴后期的大修仙者，但修罗之门太危险了，尤其是通往传送阵的那条路，步步荆棘，离合期修士能否自保都是问题，她去”
What secret did the master and servant share? It was impossible for them both to advance together without any hidden agenda.
“ wǒ bú shì shuō yú yú 。” lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， tā dāng rán xiǎng dài yú yú dào líng jiè qù ， bù guò xiū xiān zhī lù ， biàn bù kǎn kē ， yòu qǐ shì kě yǐ suí xīn suǒ yù ér xíng de 。
“我不是说娱娱。”林轩叹了口气，他当然想带娱娱到灵界去，不过修仙之路，遍布坎柯，又岂是可以随心所欲而行的。
Dream Ruyan’s doubts dissipated as she smiled, "Yue'er joining us is more secure than my other choice. This way, our chances of success are higher."
ràng yú yú qù ， duì tā yǒu hài wú gài 。
让娱娱去，对她有害无盖。
"I didn’t expect Yue'er to also reach the Separation Realm. Congratulations!"
“ nà nǐ shì xīn ．．．”
“那你是心．．．”
"Did Sister agree?"
“ jiě jiě ， nán dào mí jiāng yuè ér wàng le ？”
“姐姐，难道弥将月儿忘了？”
"Of course. It's better not to let good things go to waste. If you have the qualifications to join us in this adventure, why wouldn't I invite you?" Dream Ruyan smiled.
yuè ér ， nà xiǎo yā tou ？”
月儿，那小丫头？”
"Thank you." Lin Xuan bowed.
“ jiě ， huà kě bù néng zhè yàng shuō ， nán dào mí méi yǒu tīng guò ， shì bié sān rì ， dāng guā mù xiāng kàn me ？” lín xuān yǔ dài tiáo kǎn de kāi kǒu le 。
“姐，话可不能这样说，难道弥没有听过，士别三日，当刮目相看么？”林轩语带调侃的开口了。
"Enough with that flattery. We are siblings; we don’t need such formalities," Dream Ruyan rolled her eyes.
suí hòu zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， xiāng fēng yì rán ， yī wèi měi mào rú huā de shào nǚ chū xiàn zài le miàn qián 。
随后在腰间一拍，香风亦然，一位美貌如花的少女出现在了面前。
"But there’s one more thing I want to discuss with you. If you agree, it will be beneficial for both of us, but what do you think?"
“ rú yān jiě jiě ， yuè ér yǒu lǐ 。” shào nǚ yíng yíng yī fú ， rán ér hún shēn shàng xià ． què yǒu jīng rén de qì shì mí sàn ér chū 。
“如嫣姐姐，月儿有礼。”少女盈盈一福，然而浑身上下．却有惊人的气势弥散而出。
"Sister, let me know."
zuò wèi lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， mèng rú yān suī bù néng shuō tài shān bēng yú qián ér bù biàn sè ， dàn fàng yǎn tiān xià ， néng gòu ràng tā dòng róng de shì qíng yě bù duō 。
做为离合期修仙者，梦如嫣虽不能说泰山崩于前而不变色，但放眼天下，能够让她动容的事情也不多。
"Are you interested in joining my Sea Pavilion?" Dream Ruyan's expression turned serious.
kě cǐ shí cǐ kè ， cǐ nǚ què jīng dāi le 。
可此时此刻，此女却惊呆了。
"What? Joining the Sea Pavilion?" Lin Xuan was taken aback. "Sister, are you joking? According to what I know, the Sea Pavilion has a long history dating back to ancient times. But for millions of years, it never accepted male disciples. It’s said that this rule was set by the founder."
mù guāng zài yuè ér shēn shàng sǎo guò ， méi cuò ， què shí shì lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， zhè xiǎo yā tou ， nán dào yě jìn jí le 。
目光在月儿身上扫过，没错，确实是离合期修仙者，这小丫头，难道也晋级了。
"Your words are correct, but rules can change with time. There is no unchangeable rule in this world. Our sect doesn’t accept males because most men are lecherous and greedy," Dream Ruyan coughed.
bù kě néng ， suī rán shēn chù jù líng kōng jiān zhī zhōng ， dàn bù guò qū qū bǎi nián ér yǐ ， lín xuān néng cóng yuán yīng mài rù lí hé ， yǐ shì qián wú gǔ rén ， hòu wú lái zhě ， yuè ér xiǎo yā tou yě tóng yàng jìn jiē lí hé ， jiǎn zhí tài guò lìng rén bù kě sī yì le 。
不可能，虽然身处聚灵空间之中，但不过区区百年而已，林轩能从元婴迈入离合，已是前无古人，后无来者，月儿小丫头也同样进阶离合，简直太过令人不可思议了。
Lin Xuan choked on his tea as he heard her. He understood what she meant, but was he really a good person?
rú mù bú shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， bù lùn shuí shí zì jǐ shuō ， mèng rú yān dōu jué bú huì xiāng xìn de 。
如慕不是亲眼目睹，不论谁时自己说，梦如嫣都觉不会相信的。
A look of helplessness crossed Lin Xuan's face. He knew himself well; he wasn’t bad, but it was hard to call him good... This sounded like mockery.
zhè zhǔ pú zhī jiān ， jiū jìng yǐn cáng zhe shén me mì mì ， fǒu zé jué bù kě néng liǎng rén yì qǐ jìn jí 。
这主仆之间，究竟隐藏着什么秘密，否则绝不可能两人一起晋级。
"Regardless of our brotherhood, if not for your great efforts in the Battle of Penglai Island a hundred years ago, even with Lingyun Pavilion’s help, we would still be uncertain about the outcome. You have done us a favor, so I invite you to join now. What do you think?" Dream Ruyan raised her head, her face filled with hope.
"Brother, how about it? Would you be willing to take a risk with me?" Dream Ruyan's voice entered Zhou Yu's ears, carrying a hint of anticipation.
Lin Xuan's gaze flickered as he calmly spoke, "Sister, this is just a joke. Such a good opportunity, I wouldn't miss it. Although the Path of Devouring Demons is dangerous, compared to facing the heavenly tribulation, it’s not that significant. However, there are still some matters I need to ask about."
"Such an important matter, what do you doubt? Just speak up. If Sister knows, she won’t hide anything from you."
Dream Ruyan nodded, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes.
Even if she was delighted, her evaluation of Lin Xuan would be slightly lower if he had not said anything and immediately agreed. After all, such a big matter should be clarified first; it wasn't just about whether they trusted each other as siblings but the right attitude before undertaking a major task.
"Riches come from taking risks."
If Ruyan lacked courage, she would have been destined to be mediocre. But simply being brave didn’t mean everything; one had to consider every detail for higher success rates.
"I've heard that this time, the Sea Pavilion and the two sects clashed, and Lingyun Pavilion helped out. I imagine he has a good relationship with you. Why don't you team up? He's the top martial artist in the world," Lin Xuan's eyes sparkled as he spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
"Ahem," Lin Xuan was at a loss for words, but he didn’t show any signs of it on his face. "Sister, Ruyan Immortal didn't end up marrying Lingyun Pavilion, right? And his main wife position has been vacant until recently."
"That’s beside the point. In any case, Lingyun Pavilion is a man who likes women," Dream Ruyan turned her head and spoke with an icy voice.
"Right, that's why I think my brother is right to be angry. He should have remained unmarried his whole life, always thinking of Ruyan Immortal," Lin Xuan quickly frowned and pretended to be indignant.
"That’s right, you are a good little brother who understands things." Dream Ruyan finally smiled.
Lin Xuan chuckled nervously but inwardly disagreed strongly. He even felt some sympathy for the first martial artist in the Twelve States of Heaven Clouds.
Who said all cultivators were selfish?
Indeed, there were exceptions. Lingyun Pavilion was an example of a man with true feelings and integrity.
His deep love for Ruyan Immortal didn’t need to be mentioned; he had been guarding the Sea Pavilion for eight hundred years. Unfortunately, Sister was too stubborn, turning a kind-hearted man into a lecher.
However, if Dream Ruyan hadn't harbored any ill will towards Lingyun Pavilion, would she invite him to enter the Path of Devouring Demons? After all, Lingyun Pavilion had been feared for over a thousand years in the Twelve States. Even with his great abilities, he couldn’t match the top martial artist in the world.
Lin Xuan understood this clearly.
"Then, do you know if other old monsters are aware of this teleportation array? If I'm not mistaken, it has a limit on the number of people it can transport. Will we face competitors?" Lin Xuan said with a serious expression.
"Don't worry; Sister only learned about this secret by chance. No one else knows except you and me. However, in the Netherworld Realm..."
"Nevertheless, those big demons won’t bother going to the Spirit Realm."
Lin Xuan nodded. The Netherworld Realm and the Spirit Realm were like oil and water. Demons wouldn't go there unless they wanted to die.
"But even without competitors, the teleportation array is deep within the Path of Devouring Demons, and we will face many dangers along the way," Dream Ruyan said openly.
"I understand." Lin Xuan remained calm. "The last question: If my guess is correct, this teleportation array can tear through space but has a limit on the number of people."
"Of course, using it once requires at least ten thousand years of rest. Each time, only three people can be transported. Besides you and me, I plan to invite..."
"Haha, Sister, let's not rush. I already have my last choice," Dream Ruyan was interrupted before she could finish.
"You have someone in mind?" Dream Ruyan was surprised. "You mean Yu Yu? Unfortunately, it won't work. Although Qilin is an advanced cultivator, the Path of Devouring Demons is too dangerous, especially the path to the teleportation array. It’s full of dangers for Separation Realm cultivators to even protect themselves."
"I didn’t say Yu Yu," Lin Xuan sighed. He wanted to bring Yu Yu to the Spirit Realm but knew that the path of cultivation was fraught with difficulties and couldn't be taken lightly.
"Then, are you thinking..."
"Sister, have you forgotten about Yue'er?"
Yue'er, that little girl?
"You can’t say such things," Lin Xuan said with a hint of sarcasm. "Don’t you remember, a man should look at his friend anew after three days apart?"
He then patted his waist, and a beautiful girl appeared before him.
"Immortal Ruyan, Yue'er has a gift." The girl bowed gracefully, but her entire body exuded an astonishing aura.
As a Separation Realm cultivator, Dream Ruyan couldn’t remain unmoved by such a display. But this time, she was stunned.
Her gaze swept over Yue'er, and sure enough, she was a Separation Realm cultivator. This little girl must have advanced as well.
Impossible. Although they were in the gathering spirit space for only a century, Lin Xuan had already advanced from an Incubus to a Separation Realm, setting a precedent that no one could match. For Yue'er to also advance to Separation Realm was too unbelievable.
Dream Ruyan would not believe it unless she saw it with her own eyes.
What secret did the master and servant share? It was impossible for them both to advance together without any hidden agenda.
Dream Ruyan’s doubts dissipated as she smiled, "Yue'er joining us is more secure than my other choice. This way, our chances of success are higher."
"I didn’t expect Yue'er to also reach the Separation Realm. Congratulations!"
"Did Sister agree?"
"Of course. It's better not to let good things go to waste. If you have the qualifications to join us in this adventure, why wouldn't I invite you?" Dream Ruyan smiled.
"Thank you." Lin Xuan bowed.
"Enough with that flattery. We are siblings; we don’t need such formalities," Dream Ruyan rolled her eyes.
"But there’s one more thing I want to discuss with you. If you agree, it will be beneficial for both of us, but what do you think?"
"Sister, let me know."
"Are you interested in joining my Sea Pavilion?" Dream Ruyan's expression turned serious.
"What? Joining the Sea Pavilion?" Lin Xuan was taken aback. "Sister, are you joking? According to what I know, the Sea Pavilion has a long history dating back to ancient times. But for millions of years, it never accepted male disciples. It’s said that this rule was set by the founder."
"Your words are correct, but rules can change with time. There is no unchangeable rule in this world. Our sect doesn’t accept males because most men are lecherous and greedy," Dream Ruyan coughed.
Lin Xuan choked on his tea as he heard her. He understood what she meant, but was he really a good person?
A look of helplessness crossed Lin Xuan's face. He knew himself well; he wasn’t bad, but it was hard to call him good... This sounded like mockery.
"Regardless of our brotherhood, if not for your great efforts in the Battle of Penglai Island a hundred years ago, even with Lingyun Pavilion’s help, we would still be uncertain about the outcome. You have done us a favor, so I invite you to join now. What do you think?" Dream Ruyan raised her head, her face filled with hope.
