夫妻俩听了，哭笑不得。却也都松了口气，原来是虚惊一炀，自己吓自己，就算没有祖母这层关系，对方也根本就没有恶意。
The couple couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. However, they also breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be just a false alarm; they had scared themselves for nothing. Even without their grandmother's connection, the other party showed no malicious intent.
nà nán xiū shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān qīng qīng yī pāi ， zhǐ jiàn líng máng yī shǎn ， yī qīng cuì bì lǜ de yù tóng jiǎn jiù yǐ chū xiàn zài shēn qián 。
那男修伸出手来，在腰间轻轻一拍，只见灵芒一闪，一清脆碧绿的玉瞳简就已出现在身前。
The male cultivator reached into his waistband and gently tapped it. A flash of light appeared, and a clear green jade cylinder materialized before him.
bì gōng bì jìng de dì le guò qù 。
毕恭毕敬的递了过去。
He respectfully handed it over.
lín xuān zì rán bú huì kè qì ， shēn shǒu jiē guò ， suí hòu dī xià tou lú 。 jiāng shén shí chén rù 。
林轩自然不会客气，伸手接过，随后低下头颅。将神识沉入。
Lin Xuan naturally wasn't going to be polite; he took it with one hand and then lowered his head, sinking his spirit sense in.
，“ bù cuò ， zhèng shì lín mǒu xiǎng yào de hǎi tú 。”。
，“不错，正是林某想要的海图。”。
"Good, this is exactly what I wanted."
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， suí hòu mù guāng què zài liǎng rén shēn hòu de shào nián liǎn shàng tíng xià lái le 。
林轩脸上露出满意之色，随后目光却在两人身后的少年脸上停下来了。
A satisfied look appeared on Lin Xuan's face. Then his gaze stopped at the young man behind the two.
cǐ qù dà yuē shí wǔ liù suì nián jì ， liǎn shàng hái dài zhe jǐ fēn zhì qì ， rán ér xiū wèi què shì bù dī ， jù lí zhù jī jǐn shèng xià yī bù zhī yáo ér yǐ 。
此去大约十五六岁年纪，脸上还带着几分稚气，然而修为却是不低，距离筑基仅剩下一步之遥而已。
He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, still showing a bit of childishness, but his cultivation level was quite high; he was just one step away from Foundation Establishment.
jiù tā de nián jì ， yǐ jīng fēi cháng liǎo bù qǐ 。
就他的年纪，已经非常了不起。
For someone so young, that was already remarkable.
，“ tā shì nǐ liǎ de gǔ ròu ？，。 lín xuān shén sè dàn rán de kāi kǒu 。
，“他是你俩的骨肉？，。林轩神色淡然的开口。
"Is this your flesh and blood?" Lin Xuan said with a calm expression.
，“ bù cuò ， zhèng shì quǎn zi ……
，“不错，正是犬子……
"Yes, exactly my son...
，“ ń ， zī zhì hěn bú cuò …… lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū zàn xǔ zhī sè 。
，“嗯，资质很不错……林轩脸上露出赞许之色。
"Hmm, very goodqualifications..."
，“ xiè qián bèi kuā jiǎng ， quǎn zi líng gēn de yōu yì chéng dù ” què shí yuǎn fēi wǎn bèi kě bǐ ， wǒ yǔ zhuō jīng ， duì tā yí xiàng dōu shì jí yǐ hòu wàng de …… nà nán xiū liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn 〖 xīng 〗 fèn zhī sè ， zuò fù qīn de 。 nǎ yí gè ， yòu bù xī wàng ér zi bǐ zì jǐ gèng yǒu chū xī ne 。
，“谢前辈夸奖，犬子灵根的优异程度”确实远非晚辈可比，我与拙荆，对他一向都是即以厚望的……那男修脸上露出几分〖兴〗奋之色，做父亲的。哪一个，又不希望儿子比自己更有出息呢。
Lin Xuan's face showed approval. "Thank you for the compliment. The quality of his Spirit Root is indeed far beyond what I can match. My wife and I have always had high hopes for him..."
，“ zhè hái zi zī zhì shì hěn hǎo ， bù guò ruò shuō xiān dào zhī lù ， néng bǐ xián fū fù zǒu dé gèng yuǎn ， nà què wèi bì …… lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì 。 què shuō chū chū rén yì liào de yán yǔ 。
，“这孩子资质是很好，不过若说仙道之路，能比贤夫妇走得更远，那却未必……林轩叹了口气。却说出出人意料的言语。
"Two hundred years later..."
，“ wèi hé ？”
，“为何？”
"It will depend on his own destiny."
fū fù liǎ dà jīng shī sè ， yě nán guài tā liǎ jǐn zhāng ， yǐ lín xuān de shēn fèn ， ruò méi yǒu bǎ wò ， shì bú huì wú dì fàng shǐ de 。
夫妇俩大惊失色，也难怪他俩紧张，以林轩的身份，若没有把握，是不会无的放矢的。
Though Lin Xuan wanted to help all the way, he couldn't send a cultivator off without a purpose. After helping with the Foundation Establishment and Condensation Core materials, he decided it was time to return to Black Wind Island.
，“ zhè xiǎo dào yǒu de tǐ zhì yǒu wèn tí 。”。 lín xuān méi yǒu yǐn mán zhī yì ， yī yǎn jiù kàn chū le duì fāng shēn shàng de yǐn jí 。
，“这小道友的体质有问题。”。林轩没有隐瞒之意，一眼就看出了对方身上的隐疾。
With that in mind, Lin Xuan walked out of the market district. But just as he turned a corner, a familiar figure caught his eye.
liǎng rén liǎn shàng què lù chū bàn xìn bàn yí zhī sè ， bì jìng ér zi píng rì lǐ xiū xíng ， bìng méi yǒu shén me bù tuǒ 。
两人脸上却露出半信半疑之色，毕竟儿子平日里修行，并没有什么不妥。
"Is she?"
bù guò yǔ zhàng fū bù tóng ” nà míng jiào yuè huá de fù rén zài jīng yí guò hòu ， què fǎng fú xiǎng qǐ le shén me ：，“ nán dào rú qiè shēn de zǔ mǔ ” zhè hái zi yě shēn huái jié mài zhī tǐ ？，。
不过与丈夫不同”那名叫月华的妇人在惊疑过后，却仿佛想起了什么：，“难道如妾身的祖母”这孩子也身怀截脉之体？，。
At first, Lin Xuan thought he had mistaken or misidentified someone. However, upon closer inspection, it was indeed Fairy Red Leaf.
，“ jié mài zhī tǐ ？…… nà nán xiū yī è ， suí hòu fǎn ér sōng le kǒu qì ：，“ ruò shì rú cǐ ， huā xiē cái huò ， yīng gāi hái shì kě yǐ zhì yù de ……
，“截脉之体？……那男修一愕，随后反而松了口气：，“若是如此，花些财货，应该还是可以治愈的……
Although they hadn't seen each other for over four hundred years, Lin Xuan still remembered her appearance clearly.
zhè suī rán shì yī zhǒng hěn nán chán de tǐ zhì ， bù guò líng jiè zī yuán bì jìng fēng fù ” xiāng yìn de ， zhì yù wán jí de jī huì yě jiù yào dà dé duō 。
这虽然是一种很难缠的体质，不过灵界资源毕竟丰富”相印的，治愈顽疾的机会也就要大得多。
A moment of hesitation flashed across his face. Should he go up and introduce himself?
，“ bú shì jié mài zhī tǐ …… lín xuān què yáo le yáo tóu ：“ jù tǐ shì shén me ， lín mǒu yě bù hǎo shuō ……
，“不是截脉之体……林轩却摇了摇头：“具体是什么，林某也不好说……
In the end, Lin Xuan shook his head. Although they had once sworn brotherhood in name, she called him "big brother," it was just a formality. In reality, both parties knew that their alliance was purely for mutual benefit.
tīng jiàn lín xuān de yán yǔ ， fū fù liǎ de xīn dōu diē dào le gǔ dǐ ， lián shén tōng guǎng dà de lín qián bèi dōu bù qīng chǔ ， tā men liǎng gè xiǎo xiǎo de níng dān qī xiū shì ” yòu néng rú hé 。
听见林轩的言语，夫妇俩的心都跌到了谷底，连神通广大的林前辈都不清楚，他们两个小小的凝丹期修士”又能如何。
Back then, when Lin Xuan first arrived in the Spirit Realm, he needed a place to stay and was desperate for one. As for Fairy Red Leaf?
lín xuān suī rán méi yǒu wéi rén fù mǔ ， bù guò zhè fān xīn qíng hái shì kě yǐ tǐ huì de ” shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， jiāng yí gè xiǎo qiǎo bái jìng de yù píng qǔ le chū lái ：“ zhè hái zi de tǐ zhì yǒu xiē tè shū 。 bù guò shì fú shì huò yě hěn nán shuō qīng chǔ ， hǎo dǎi lín mǒu yǔ nǐ men zǔ shàng yě yǒu yī xiē yuān yuán ， bù hǎo xiù shǒu páng guān ， zhè píng jìng líng dān nǐ men hǎo hǎo shōu zhe ， zhì shǎo liǎng bǎi nián nèi ” kě yǐ bǎo tā xìng mìng wú yú ……
林轩虽然没有为人父母，不过这番心情还是可以体会的”伸出手来，在腰间一拍，将一个小巧白净的玉瓶取了出来：“这孩子的体质有些特殊。不过是福是祸也很难说清楚，好歹林某与你们祖上也有一些渊源，不好袖手旁观，这瓶净灵丹你们好好收着，至少两百年内”可以保他性命无虞……
She was nominally the ruler of an island but faced internal strife and external threats. If she made a wrong move, it could lead to her death or even worse.
，“ nà liǎng bǎi nián hòu …………
，“那两百年后…………
Under these circumstances, their alliance seemed like a perfect match. Their brother-sister relationship was similar to a family's strategic marriage in ancient times—without any emotional foundation between them.
，“ zhè jiù yào kàn tā zì jǐ de zào huà le ……
，“这就要看他自己的造化了……
Seeing her again now would only bring back memories. Why go up and introduce himself?
suī shuō bāng rén bāng dào dǐ ， sòng fú sòng dào xī ， zì jǐ yǔ tā men de xiān zǔ yě yǒu yī xiē guān xì ， bù guò lín xuān bì jìng yǒu zì jǐ de shì qíng xū yào chǔ lǐ ， yǔ zhè liǎng gè rén ， yě fēi qīn fēi gù ， zuò dào zhè yī bù ” yě suàn shì rén zhì yì jìn le 。
虽说帮人帮到底，送佛送到西，自己与他们的先祖也有一些关系，不过林轩毕竟有自己的事情需要处理，与这两个人，也非亲非故，做到这一步”也算是仁至义尽了。
Of course, Lin Xuan wasn't heartless. Deep down, he was happy to see Fairy Red Leaf safe and sound after escaping the Poison Dragon Demon Sovereign. Now that she had broken through her bottleneck and become a Separation Stage cultivator, he hoped for her long-term safety.
lín xuān bù dǎ suàn zài zhè lǐ ， shōu le hǎi tú ， jiù hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， fēi xiàng le yuǎn chù de tiān jì 。 liú xià zhè duì fū qī kǔ xiào bù yǐ 。
林轩不打算在这里，收了海图，就浑身青芒大起，飞向了远处的天际。留下这对夫妻苦笑不已。
He didn't need to disturb her current life. With this thought, Lin Xuan turned around to leave.
sān tiān yǐ hòu ” yī yì hǎi dǎo chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
三天以后”一弈海岛出现在了视线里。
Fairy Red Leaf was completely unaware of everything. Even though Lin Xuan used disguise techniques, it would be difficult for her to recognize him even if they met face-to-face.
zhè shì mó dào zōng pài shā yáng zōng de zǒng duò 。
这是魔道宗派煞阳宗的总舵。
This small encounter brought a bit of surprise but remained calm. However, just as Lin Xuan prepared to leave, something unexpected happened.
shā yáng zōng ， zài zhè hùn luàn hǎi yù ， yě shì dǐng dǐng dà míng de zōng mén zhī yī ” suī rán wú fǎ yǔ jiǔ xiān gōng xiāng bǐ ， dàn yě shì bù róng rén qīng rǔ dì 。
煞阳宗，在这混乱海域，也是鼎鼎大名的宗门之一”虽然无法与九仙宫相比，但也是不容人轻辱地。
It seemed too coincidental, but there's an old saying: "No coincidence without reason." This was how Lin Xuan's journey had been; he kept running into people and events related to him.
qí guī mó zàn qiě bù tí ” gāi pài de tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， shā yáng zhēn rén nǎi shì dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， cóng zhè yì diǎn ， jiù zhī dào gāi pài de shí lì rú hé 。
其规模暂且不提”该派的太上长老，煞阳真人乃是洞玄期修仙者，从这一点，就知道该派的实力如何。
Just as he turned to leave, a commotion caught his ear. It sounded like Fairy Red Leaf's sharp rebuke.
ér zōng mén jiā zú de jù jū zhī suǒ ， yì bān lái shuō ， dāng rán yě shì yǒu fāng shì de 。
而宗门家族的聚居之所，一般来说，当然也是有坊市的。
Lin Xuan frowned and turned around. He was stunned to see that Fairy Red Leaf was surrounded by several cultivators in black armor, each holding long spears with expressions of intense hostility.
lín xuān dǎ suàn cóng zhè lǐ ， cǎi gòu bǎi cǎo mén suǒ xū 。
林轩打算从这里，采购百草门所需。
Lin Xuan felt a mix of shock and unease. The cultivation level of these warriors wasn't impressive, but they represented an intimidating force behind them—the main headquarters of theSaber Yang Sect.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， tā lái dào cǐ chù ， yǒu diǎn dà zhāng qí gǔ 。 tài zhāo yáo le ， kě sú huà shuō 。 zuì wēi xiǎn de dì fāng ， yě zuì ān quán 。
表面上看，他来到此处，有点大张旗鼓。太招摇了，可俗话说。最危险的地方，也最安全。
"Who are you to do this? Red Leaf has no grudge against your sect; she's just here to buy some items in your market district. Why..."
hé kuàng shì yì shí yí ， zú zú yí gè yuè de shí jiān guò qù ， àn zhào cháng lǐ 。 zì jǐ zǎo jiù yīng gāi táo dào tiān jì ， duì fāng jué xiǎng bú dào ， zì jǐ hái gǎn lái zhè lǐ 。
何况事易时移，足足一个月的时间过去，按照常理。自己早就应该逃到天际，对方绝想不到，自己还敢来这里。
Fairy Red Leaf frowned slightly. Although her expression remained calm, a hint of panic was evident in her eyes.
dāng rán ， huà shì zhè me shuō ， lín xuān hái shì shī zhǎn le yì róng zhī shù ， biàn chéng le yī xíng mào dōu bù tài qǐ yǎn de xiū xiān zhě 。
当然，话是这么说，林轩还是施展了易容之术，变成了一形貌都不太起眼的修仙者。
However, the warriors didn't say anything and simply stood their ground.
suí hòu lín xuān jìn rù fāng shì zhī zhōng 。
随后林轩进入坊市之中。
The scene was somewhat eerie.
jiào mài shēng cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， zhè lǐ de rè nào suī rán wú fǎ yǔ jiǔ xiān chéng xiāng bǐ ， dàn yī jiù jù jí le dà liàng de xiū shì 。
叫卖声此起彼伏，这里的热闹虽然无法与九仙城相比，但依旧聚集了大量的修士。
Fairy Red Leaf found herself in an awkward situation. With her current power as a Separation Stage cultivator, she could easily deal with just a dozen Condensation Core cultivators, but doing so here would mean no escape from the main headquarters of theSaber Yang Sect.
lín xuān bìng méi yǒu dān gē ， mù guāng zài fù jìn sǎo guò ， rán hòu jiù zǒu jìn le yī jiàn jiào zuò ，“ jì shì táng …… de yào pù 。
林轩并没有耽搁，目光在附近扫过，然后就走进了一件叫做，“济世堂……的药铺。
Her mind raced, and Fairy Red Leaf decided to wait and see what would happen. Perhaps they had mistaken her for someone else, she consoled herself.
yí gè shí chén yǐ hòu 。 lín xuān cóng yào diàn zhōng chū lái 。
一个时辰以后。林轩从药店中出来。
Although she knew this was unlikely, in such a situation, what could she do besides waiting?
tā de biǎo qíng xīn mǎn yì zú ， líng jiè zī yuán fēng fù ， yuán yīng qī yǐ xià de dān yào ， zhǐ yào yǒu jīng shí ， dōu kě yǐ gòu mǎi 。
他的表情心满意足，灵界资源丰富，元婴期以下的丹药，只要有晶石，都可以购买。
Fortunately, it didn't take long. A few breaths later, a long laugh echoed: "Stop! You young ones, why are you so unruly? The old ancestor sent you to invite our guest, and this is how you treat him?"
lín xuān kě shì dà zhǔ gù ， jī hū jiāng duì fāng zēng jìn zhù jī hái yǒu níng dān qī fǎ lì de dān yào quán dōu bān kōng le ， yóu yú jiāo yì liàng zú ， hái dǎ le gè bā zhé 。
林轩可是大主顾，几乎将对方增进筑基还有凝丹期法力的丹药全都搬空了，由于交易量足，还打了个八折。
Before the words were fully out of his mouth, a bright black light streaked from afar.
yī fāng yuàn mǎi ， yī fāng yuàn mài ， zhè chǎng jiāo yì ， yě suàn jiē dà huān xǐ 。
一方愿买，一方愿卖，这场交易，也算皆大欢喜。
！~！The chapter ends here.
The couple couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. However, they also breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be just a false alarm; they had scared themselves for nothing. Even without their grandmother's connection, the other party showed no malicious intent.
