离别多忧愁，上官雁的眼中，已浮现出浓浓的水汽，而上官翎则要坚强一些，但脸上也满是不舍与落寂。
Parting is sorrowful. In上官雁's eyes, a thick mist of emotion had already gathered, while 上官翎 was more resolute but also filled with reluctance and melancholy.
bù guò liǎng nǚ dōu hěn dǒng shì ， qiáng rěn zhe méi kū ， yīn wèi tā men xiǎo de ， nà yàng de huà shī zūn huì gèng nán guò 。
不过两女都很懂事，强忍着没哭，因为她们晓得，那样的话师尊会更难过。
However, both girls were very understanding and managed to hold back their tears. They knew that if they cried, it would make the master even sadder.
lín xuān wēi wēi tàn xī ， zhè yě shì bù dé yǐ ， tiān xià wú bù sàn de yàn xí ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， shēn qián dùn shí chū xiàn le yī dà duī de chǔ wù dài 。
林轩微微叹息，这也是不得已，天下无不散的宴席，伸出手来，在腰间一拍，身前顿时出现了一大堆的储物袋。
Lin Xuan sighed slightly. This was unavoidable; there's no such thing as a banquet without an end in this world. He reached out and patted his waist, instantly producing a pile of storage bags from thin air.
shì yī duī ， méi cuò ， lín xuān duì zì jǐ rén ， xiàng lái shì fēi cháng kāng kǎi de ， zì jǐ mǎ shàng jiù yào lí kāi cǐ chù ， dāng rán yào gěi liǎng gè tú dì hěn duō hǎo dōng xī le 。
是一堆，没错，林轩对自己人，向来是非常慷慨的，自己马上就要离开此处，当然要给两个徒弟很多好东西了。
It was indeed a pile. Lin Xuan was always generous with those he trusted. Since he would soon leave, it was only natural to give his two apprentices many valuable items.
ná qǐ shēn qián de yí gè ， lín xuān jiāng dài kǒu cháo xià ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yī shǎn ， dùn shí chū xiàn le yī duī de píng píng guàn guàn ， hái yǒu dà dà xiǎo xiǎo de yù hé ， yī kàn jià zhí jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
拿起身前的一个，林轩将袋口朝下，只见灵光一闪，顿时出现了一堆的瓶瓶罐罐，还有大大小小的玉盒，一看价值就非同小可。
He picked up one bag and turned it upside down. A flash of light appeared, revealing numerous bottles and jars, as well as various jade boxes. The value was beyond measure.
jí hòu yòu ná qǐ yí gè ， tóng yàng de bái guāng shǎn guò ， chū xiàn zài shēn qián de zé shì gè zhǒng gè yàng de fú lù yǔ fǎ bǎo le 。
集后又拿起一个，同样的白光闪过，出现在身前的则是各种各样的符箓与法宝了。
Another bag was taken out, and the same white light flashed, this time showing all sorts of talismans and magical treasures.
tóng yàng de chǔ wù xǐ yǒu qī bā gè zhī duō ， liǎng gè yā tou kàn dé chēng mù jié shé 。
同样的储物喜有七八个之多，两个丫头看得瞠目结舌。
There were several storage bags in total, leaving the two girls speechless with astonishment.
“ shī fù ， nín gàn má ná chū nà me duō ？” shàng guān yàn nà nà de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“师傅，您干嘛拿出那么多？”上官雁呐呐的声音传入耳朵。
"Master, why are you giving us so much?" 上官雁's voice trembled as it reached his ears.
“ shǎ yā tou ， dāng rán shì gěi * men de 。” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe kāi kǒu 。
“傻丫头，当然是给*们的。”林轩微笑着开口。
"A silly girl, of course for our benefit," Lin Xuan smiled.
“ gěi wǒ ？” shàng guān líng yě zhèn jīng le ， suī rán xiǎo de shī fù yí xiàng dà fāng ， dàn zuò mèng yě bù céng xiǎng ， huì dà fāng dào zhè ge chéng dù ， yǎn qián zhè xiē bǎo wù ， kǒng pà yǐ shì yī dòng xuán qī lǎo guài wù de quán bù shēn jiā le 。
“给我？”上官翎也震惊了，虽然晓得师傅一向大方，但做梦也不曾想，会大方到这个程度，眼前这些宝物，恐怕已是一洞玄期老怪物的全部身家了。
"To me?" 上官翎 was also stunned. Although she knew her master was generous, she never imagined he would be this generous. The treasures before them might well belong to a powerful Profound Yin cultivator.
“ shī fù yào lí kāi cǐ chù ， zěn me néng bù gěi chēng men yī xiē jiā dǐ ne ， suī shuō yù bù zuó bù chéng qì ，* men xiǎng yào chéng wéi liǎo bù qǐ de xiū xiān zhě ， jiù nán miǎn xū yào fēng yǔ mó lì ， dàn wèi shī duō gěi chēng men yī xiē hǎo chù ！ duì chèn men yǐ hòu de xiū liàn ， yě shì dà yǒu bì yì ， zhǐ bù guò wèi shī zǒu le ， jiù bù néng zài duì * men zhào fú ” xiū xiān jiè duō xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， ěr yú wǒ zhà de shì qíng gèng shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， chēng men yǐ hòu ， yí dìng yào zì jǐ xiǎo xīn le 。”
“师傅要离开此处，怎么能不给称们一些家底呢，虽说玉不琢不成器，*们想要成为了不起的修仙者，就难免需要风雨磨砺，但为师多给称们一些好处！对称们以后的修炼，也是大有裨益，只不过为师走了，就不能再对*们照拂”修仙界多腥风血雨，尔虞我诈的事情更数不胜数，称们以后，一定要自己小心了。”
"Since Master is leaving, how can I not give you some of my resources? Though jade unpolished cannot become a gem, for you to become great cultivators, you will inevitably face hardships and trials. But as your master, I should give you more benefits! This will greatly aid your cultivation in the future. However, since Master is leaving, he can no longer take care of you. The world of cultivation is full of danger and deceit. You must be careful from now on."
“ tú ér xiǎo de 。”
“徒儿晓得。”
"Disciple understands."
liǎng gè yā tou suī rán méi kū ， dàn yǎn zhōng yě yǒu jīng yíng de lèi huā shǎn guò ， guì xià ， chōng lín xuān kē tóu 。
两个丫头虽然没哭，但眼中也有晶莹的泪huā闪过，跪下，冲林轩磕头。
Though they didn't cry, tears still shone in their eyes as they knelt and bowed to Lin Xuan.
“ tú ér bù xiào ” bù néng cháng cháng shì fèng shī zūn zuǒ yòu ， yě qǐng shī fù hǎo hǎo bǎo zhòng ， tú ér yě xiāng xìn ， yǒu zhāo yī rì ， wǒ men yí dìng huì chóng féng 。” liǎng gè yā tou yì kǒu tóng shēng de kāi kǒu 。
“徒儿不孝”不能常常侍奉师尊左右，也请师傅好好保重，徒儿也相信，有朝一日，我们一定会重逢。”两个丫头异口同声的开口。
"I am an ungrateful disciple." I cannot always serve by your side, so please take good care of yourself. I believe we will meet again one day," the two girls said in unison.
“ ń 。”
“嗯。”
Lin Xuan nodded. He then reached out and took a jade cylinder from his storage bag, handing it to 上官翎.
lín xuān diǎn diǎn tóu ， suí hòu yòu shēn shǒu yī pāi ， qǔ chū le yī yù tóng jiǎn ， dì dào shàng guān líng de shǒu lǐ miàn 。
林轩点点头，随后又伸手一拍，取出了一玉瞳简，递到上官翎的手里面。
"What is this…", "Inside" are my accumulated cultivation insights over time. They should greatly benefit your future cultivation, but be cautious; never let them fall into the hands of other cultivators," Lin Xuan's soft voice echoed in their ears.
“ zhè shì ……”，”，“ zhè lǐ miàn ” shì wèi shī píng rì lǐ suǒ jī lěi de xiū liàn xīn dé ， duì chèn men yǐ hòu de xiū liàn yīng gāi huì dà yǒu bāng zhù ， dàn zhù yì ， zhè dōng xī ， qiān wàn bù néng luò rù qí tā xiū shì de shǒu lǐ 。” lín xuān wěi wǎn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“这是……”，”，“这里面”是为师平日里所积累的修炼心得，对称们以后的修炼应该会大有帮助，但注意，这东西，千万不能落入其他修士的手里。”林轩委婉的声音传入耳朵。
"Cultivation insights?"
“ xiū liàn xīn dé ？”
“修炼心得？”
The two girls' faces lit up with joy. This was something that didn't appear on the market, yet its importance could not be underestimated—it was far more valuable than ordinary pills and magical treasures.
liǎng nǚ liǎn shàng liú lù chū dà xǐ zhī sè ， zhè dōng xī ， shì bú jiàn zhū yú fāng shì de ， dàn qí zhòng yào xìng ” jué duì bù bǐ pǔ tōng de dān yào ， fǎ bǎo xùn sè ， shèn zhì yào gèng shèng yī chóu 。
两女脸上流露出大喜之色，这东西，是不见诸于坊市的，但其重要性”绝对不比普通的丹药，法宝逊色，甚至要更胜一筹。
Listening to one person speak is better than reading for ten years. Without guidance, the arduous path of cultivation can make a huge difference. Sometimes, a single word from a high-ranking cultivator can save juniors countless detours, with the time saved often measured in decades or even centuries.
suǒ wèi tīng jūn yī xí huà ， shèng dú shí nián shū ， jiān sè de xiū xiān zhī lù ， yǒu méi yǒu rén zhǐ dǎo nà shì wán quán bù tóng de ， yǒu shí hòu ” gāo jiē xiū shì de yī jù huà ， jiù néng ràng wǎn bèi men shǎo zǒu xǔ duō wān lù ， ér zhè wān lù de shí jiān ， tōng cháng shì yǐ shù shí shèn zhì shàng bǎi nián lái jì suàn de 。
所谓听君一席话，胜读十年书，艰涩的修仙之路，有没有人指导那是完全不同的，有时候”高阶修士的一句话，就能让晚辈们少走许多弯路，而这弯路的时间，通常是以数十甚至上百年来计算的。
The benefits were obvious.
qí zhōng de hǎo chù ， kě xiǎng ér zhī 。
其中的好处，可想而知。
Cultivation insights were precisely what cultivators cherished most—teachers would often keep back some techniques for themselves, and even couples who shared cultivation wouldn't usually share them.
ér xiū liàn xīn dé ” qià qià shì xiū xiān zhě zuì wèi zhēn shì ， bié shuō shī tú shòu tú ， wǎng wǎng huì liú shàng yī shǒu ， jiù suàn shì shuāng xiū dào lǚ ， tōng cháng dōu shì bù gòng xiǎng dì 。
而修炼心得”恰恰是修仙者最为珍视，别说师徒授徒，往往会留上一手，就算是双修道侣，通常都是不共享地。
But Lin Xuan didn't do that; it was wrong to hoard such treasures. However, the two girls felt differently, filled with gratitude as they looked at him affectionately. Though their master had only taken them in as nominal disciples, his kindness was real. Few, if any, could enjoy such treatment even as direct disciples. The girls' gratitude and respect for Lin Xuan were evident.
rán ér lín xuān bú huì zhè me zuò ” bì zhǒu zì zhēn shì bú duì de ， bù guò liǎng gè yā tou xīn zhōng de gǎn shòu yòu bù yí yàng le ， chú le gǎn jī hái shì gǎn jī ， wàng xiàng lín xuān de mù guāng chōng mǎn le qīn jìn zhī yì ， suī shuō shī zūn dāng nián shōu zì jǐ liǎng gè ， shuō shì jì míng dì zǐ ， rán ér tā duì zì jǐ de hǎo ， nà què shì shí shí zài zài dì ， bié shuō jì míng le ， jiù suàn shì qīn chuán de rù shì dì zǐ ， yòu yǒu jǐ gè néng gòu xiǎng shòu dào zhè yàng de dài yù ， liǎng nǚ duì lín xuān de gǎn jī yǔ chóng jìng ， nà shì kě xiǎng ér zhī 。
然而林轩不会这么做”敝帚自珍是不对的，不过两个丫头心中的感受又不一样了，除了感激还是感激，望向林轩的目光充满了亲近之意，虽说师尊当年收自己两个，说是记名弟子，然而他对自己的好，那却是实实在在地，别说记名了，就算是亲传的入室弟子，又有几个能够享受到这样的待遇，两女对林轩的感激与崇敬，那是可想而知。
They silently vowed to repay their master when they achieved success in cultivation.
dōu zài xīn zhōng àn àn fā shì ， lái rì xiū liàn yǒu chéng ， yí gè yào hǎo hǎo bào dá bēi zūn 。
都在心中暗暗发誓，来日修炼有成，一个要好好报答卑尊。
After dealing with the two girls, Lin Xuan turned his attention to 上官暮雨, giving her some pills and treasures as well. While not as generous as what he gave his apprentices, it was still very generous. He then handed three storage bags to this woman one by one.
liǎng gè yā tou de shì qíng chǔ lǐ wán bì ， lín xuān yòu jiāng mù guāng zhuǎn xiàng shàng guān mù yǔ ， tóng yàng gěi le tā yī xiē dān yào bǎo wù ， suī rán wú fǎ yǔ zì jǐ de liǎng gè tú ér xiāng bǐ ， dàn yě shì fēi cháng dà fāng dì ， suí hòu lín xuān yī lián jiāng sān gè chǔ wù dài ， ná dào cǐ nǚ de miàn qián 。
两个丫头的事情处理完毕，林轩又将目光转向上官幕雨，同样给了她一些丹药宝物，虽然无法与自己的两个徒儿相比，但也是非常大方地，随后林轩一连将三个储物袋，拿到此女的面前。
"Senior Lin, you've already given us too much. I cannot accept without merit," 上官暮雨 shook her head. She knew when to be modest.
“ lín qián bèi ， nín gěi de dōng xī yǐ jīng tài duō le ， wú gōng bù shòu lù ， qiè shēn bú shì tān dé wú yàn zhī tú 。” shàng guān mù yǔ yáo le yáo shǒu ， cǐ nǚ dǎo shì hěn dǒng de jìn tuì de 。
“林前辈，您给的东西已经太多了，无功不受禄，妾身不是贪得无厌之徒。”上官幕雨摇了摇手，此女倒是很懂得进退的。
"Do not rush to refuse. First, take a look inside the storage bags and decide later," Lin Xuan's smiling voice echoed in their ears. The old demon Shaya had collected many more puppet treasures than he imagined, so he didn't take them all out at once. These three storage bags contained only half of what was available. Given the scale of Bai Cao Sect, this was already sufficient; giving any more would be a waste.
“ chēng xiān bú yào máng zhe tuī cí ， xiān kàn kàn chǔ wù dài zhōng shì shén me dōng xī zài zuò jué dìng bù chí 。” lín xuān wēi xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shā yáng lǎo mó shōu jí de kuǐ lěi bǎo wù ， bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào duō shàng xǔ duō ， gù ér tā gēn běn jiù méi yǒu quán bù ná chū ， zhè sān gè chǔ wù dài zhōng suǒ zhuāng de ， jǐn jǐn shì yī xiǎo bàn ， yǐ bǎi cǎo mén de guī mó ， yǐ jīng shì wán quán zú gòu le ， gěi dé zài duō ， yě méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， chún cuì zhǐ yǒu làng fèi yī tú 。
“称先不要忙着推辞，先看看储物袋中是什么东西再做决定不迟。”林轩微笑的声音传入耳朵，煞阳老魔收集的傀儡宝物，比自己想象的还要多上许多，故而他根本就没有全部拿出，这三个储物袋中所装的，仅仅是一小半，以百草门的规模，已经是完全足够了，给得再多，也没有用处，纯粹只有浪费一途。
Lin Xuan's words left 上官暮雨 slightly surprised. She looked confused as she reached out with her delicate hand and grabbed one of the storage bags.
lín xuān de huà ， ràng shàng guān mù yǔ lüè gǎn jīng è ， cǐ nǚ yǎn zhōng dài zhe yī sī mí hū ， shēn chū yù 、 shǒu ， yí gè chǔ wù dài jiù fēi dào le zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
林轩的话，让上官暮雨略感惊愕，此女眼中带着一丝迷糊，伸出玉、手，一个储物袋就飞到了掌心之中。
She lowered her head and delved into it with her divine sense. Soon, a look of shock appeared on her face: "This is… Subsequently, she shook her hand, and various puppets appeared before her eyes, each only a few inches tall but exquisitely crafted. The audience recognized the quality; these puppets were clearly high-level, most at the Core Formation stage, with some even rivaling the Separation Realm.
cǐ nǚ dī xià qín shǒu ， jiāng shén shí chén rù ， hěn kuài qiào liǎn shàng jiù lù chū le jīng róng ：“ zhè shì chuān suí hòu cǐ nǚ shǒu yī dǒu ， bái guāng shǎn guò ， gè zhǒng gè yàng de kuǐ lěi yìng rù dào yǎn lián zhōng ， gāo jǐn yǒu shù cùn zuǒ yòu ， jīng zhì xiǎo qiǎo ， rán ér zài chǎng zhī rén ， jiē shí huò ， yǎn qián de kuǐ lěi suī rán xíng tài gè yì ， dà xiǎo yě shì bù yí ， dàn míng xiǎn fēi cháng gāo jí ， dà bù fèn dōu shì yuán yīng jí bié de ， hái yǒu yī bù fèn de wēi lì ， kān bǐ lí hé 。
此女低下螓首，将神识沉入，很快俏脸上就露出了惊容：“这是川随后此女手一抖，白光闪过，各种各样的傀儡映入到眼帘中，高仅有数寸左右，精致小巧，然而在场之人，皆识货，眼前的傀儡虽然形态各异，大小也是不宜，但明显非常高级，大部分都是元婴级别的，还有一部分的威力，堪比离合。
"The strength of Bai Cao Sect has increased significantly from before, but for Donghai, it remains weak. To preserve its legacy, the sect leader must work hard. These puppets should help greatly. With these items, self-preservation should not be a problem."
“ bǎi cǎo mén de shí lì ， suī rán bǐ yǐ qián ， zēng jiā le xǔ duō ， dàn jiù dōng hǎi lái shuō ， yī jiù hěn ruò ， xiǎng yào chuán chéng zì bǎo ， xū yào mén zhǔ duō duō cāo láo ， ér zhè xiē kuǐ lěi ， xiāng xìn kě yǐ zhù chēng yī bì zhī lì ， yǒu le zhè xiē dōng xī ， zì bǎo yīng gāi méi yǒu wèn tí 。”
“百草门的实力，虽然比以前，增加了许多，但就东海来说，依旧很弱，想要传承自保，需要门主多多操劳，而这些傀儡，相信可以助称一臂之力，有了这些东西，自保应该没有问题。”
上官暮雨 was deeply grateful and stood up to bow to Lin Xuan.
shàng guān mù yǔ yě bù yóu de dà wèi gǎn jī ， lí zuò ér qǐ ， duì zhe lín xuān yíng yíng bài le xià qù 。
上官幕雨也不由得大为感激，离座而起，对着林轩盈盈拜了下去。
"Thank you, senior for your great kindness. For considering our sect so thoroughly, I, on behalf of the disciples, bow here. If given the chance in the future, no matter how dangerous or difficult it may be, we will never hesitate."
“ duō xiè qián bèi dà ēn dà dé ， wèi běn mén kǎo lǜ zhōu xiáng dào rú cǐ chéng dù ， qiè shēn dài běn mén dì zǐ ， zài zhè lǐ gěi qián bèi kē tóu ， rú guǒ yǒu zhāo yī rì ， běn mén yǒu jī huì bào dá qián bèi ， bù lùn dāo shān yóu guō ， yí dìng wàn sǐ bù cí de 。”
“多谢前辈大恩大德，为本门考虑周详到如此程度，妾身代本门弟子，在这里给前辈磕头，如果有朝一日，本门有机会报答前辈，不论刀山油锅，一定万死不辞的。”
"The sect leader is too kind," Lin Xuan waved his hand and said indifferently. He didn't spend a single coin to obtain these puppets, and it felt good to help others.
“ mén zhǔ yán zhòng le 。”
“门主言重了。”
After giving some final instructions, he left.
lín xuān bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， bù zài yì de shuō ， fǎn zhèng zhè xiē kuǐ lěi ， dōu shì yā zhà shā yáng lǎo mó suǒ de ， zì jǐ yòu méi yǒu huā fèi yī fēn yī háo de cái huò ， ér kāng bié rén zhī kǎi de gǎn jué ， zǒng shì fēi cháng bù cuò 。
林轩摆了摆手，不在意的说，反正这些傀儡，都是压榨煞阳老魔所得，自己又没有huā费一分一毫的财货，而慷别人之慨的感觉，总是非常不错。
For the next two weeks, Lin Xuan stayed on Black Wind Island without going anywhere else, while 上官翎 and 上官雁 accompanied their master, not engaging in cultivation but staying by his side. After all, soon Lin Xuan would leave Donghai, so they wanted to spend more time with him.
suí hòu lín xuān yòu duì sān nǚ zhǔ fù le jǐ jù ， jiù lí kāi le 。
随后林轩又对三女嘱咐了几句，就离开了。
I wish time could freeze at this moment. However, how long can two weeks last? Finally, Lin Xuan had to depart.
jiē xià lái de dà bàn gè yuè lǐ ， lín xuān nǎ ér dōu méi yǒu qù ， jiù dài zài hēi fēng dǎo ， ér shàng guān líng shàng guān yàn liǎng jiě mèi ， yě méi yǒu xiū liàn ， ér shì péi bàn zài shī fù de shēn biān 。
接下来的大半个月里，林轩哪儿都没有去，就待在黑风岛，而上官翎上官雁两姐妹，也没有修炼，而是陪伴在师傅的身边。
The girls were very reluctant and did their best to hold back their tears as they saw off their master together with their mother from Black Wind Island.
bì jìng zài yǒu bù jiǔ ， lín xuān jiù yào lí kāi dōng hǎi ， liǎng gè yā tou xīn zhōng bù shě ， dāng rán xiǎng yào duō péi yī péi shī fù 。
毕竟再有不久，林轩就要离开东海，两个丫头心中不舍，当然想要多陪一陪师傅。
Postscript: The Soul Daoist of Helan Mountain donated 10,000起点 coins. Thank you for the support, Master Soul, thank you. I will strive harder.

真希望时光能够定格在这一刻，然而半个月的时间能有多久呢，终于，林轩还是要离开了。
By the way… The monthly votes are not impressive enough; at this rate, there's no hope of winning the category vote. Rain Illusion respectfully requests support from all friends to send in transmission talismans… No, rather, please send in as many monthly votes as possible.

两女大为不舍，但也有办法，只能含着眼泪，与母亲一起，将林轩送出黑风岛去。
This month, I will strive harder, releasing a new chapter every two days. With my baby, this speed is quite fast. Please support me, all friends!
"Yes!"
Parting is sorrowful. In上官雁's eyes, a thick mist of emotion had already gathered, while 上官翎 was more resolute but also filled with reluctance and melancholy.
However, both girls were very understanding and managed to hold back their tears. They knew that if they cried, it would make the master even sadder.
Lin Xuan sighed slightly. This was unavoidable; there's no such thing as a banquet without an end in this world. He reached out and patted his waist, instantly producing a pile of storage bags from thin air.
It was indeed a pile. Lin Xuan was always generous with those he trusted. Since he would soon leave, it was only natural to give his two apprentices many valuable items.
He picked up one bag and turned it upside down. A flash of light appeared, revealing numerous bottles and jars, as well as various jade boxes. The value was beyond measure.
Another bag was taken out, and the same white light flashed, this time showing all sorts of talismans and magical treasures.
There were several storage bags in total, leaving the two girls speechless with astonishment.
"Master, why are you giving us so much?" 上官雁's voice trembled as it reached his ears.
"A silly girl, of course for our benefit," Lin Xuan smiled.
"To me?" 上官翎 was also stunned. Although she knew her master was generous, she never imagined he would be this generous. The treasures before them might well belong to a powerful Profound Yin cultivator.
"Since Master is leaving, how can I not give you some of my resources? Though jade unpolished cannot become a gem, for you to become great cultivators, you will inevitably face hardships and trials. But as your master, I should give you more benefits! This will greatly aid your cultivation in the future. However, since Master is leaving, he can no longer take care of you.

Lin Xuan nodded. He then reached out and took a jade cylinder from his storage bag, handing it to 上官翎.

By the way… The monthly votes are not impressive enough; at this rate, there's no hope of winning the category vote. Rain Illusion respectfully requests support from all friends to send in transmission talismans… No, rather, please send in as many monthly votes as possible.
This month, I will strive harder, releasing a new chapter every two days. With my baby, this speed is quite fast. Please support me, all friends!
