bài xuān gé de fā zhǎn ， jiù gèng bù yòng tí 。
拜轩阁的发展，就更不用提。
The development of Blood Curse Document Pavilion was beyond mention.
suī shuō dāng nián yǒu zì jǐ zhào fú ， jìn rù xiū luó zhī mén qián yě ān pái le hòu lù ， dàn néng yǒu jīn rì de chéng gōng ， zhǔ yào hái shì kào jǐ gè yā tou ， zhè gēn shī fù lǐng jìn mén ， xiū xíng zài gè rén de dào lǐ ， nà shì yī yàng de 。
虽说当年有自己照拂，进入修罗之门前也安排了后路，但能有今日的成功，主要还是靠几个丫头，这跟师傅领进门，修行在各人的道理，那是一样的。
Though Lin Xuan had his own protection back then and had prepared a fallback plan before entering the Netherworld Gate, it was mainly due to several girls that he achieved today's success. This was akin to how a teacher could only lead one into the door of cultivation; the rest depended on individual effort.
hěn zhēng qì ， lín xuān xīn zhōng xīn wèi yǐ jí 。
很争气，林轩心中欣慰以极。
Lin Xuan felt extremely relieved in his heart. "Young Master, back then, you and Fairy Ruyan entered the Netherworld Gate together, but later there were no traces of you. I thought..."
“ shào yé ， dāng nián , nín bú shì yǔ rú yān xiān zi yì qǐ ， jìn rù le xiū luó zhī mén lǐ ， hòu lái jiù zōng jì quán wú ， xiǎo bì hái yǐ wéi ………
“少爷，当年,您不是与如嫣仙子一起，进入了修罗之门里，后来就踪迹全无，小婢还以为………
"Thought that I had perished?"
“ yǐ wéi wǒ yǔn luò ？”
“以为我陨落？”
"Not at all."
“ dāng rán bù zǒu le 。”
“当然不走了。”
Lu Ying'er shook her head, a look of anxiety on her face. "Young Master, you misunderstood. Your servant dares not think such disrespectful thoughts. In our sisters' eyes, Young Master is omnipotent; we just thought you ascended to the Spirit Realm..."
lù yíng ér yáo le yáo tóu ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī huáng jí zhī sè ：“ shào yé ， nín wù huì le ， xiǎo bì nǎ gǎn yǒu rú cǐ bù jìng de xīn lǐ ， zài wǒ jiě mèi yǎn lǐ ， shào yé shì wú suǒ bù néng dì ， wǒ men shì yǐ wéi nín fēi shēng dào le líng jiè qù ………
陆盈儿摇了摇头，脸上露出一丝惶急之色：“少爷，您误会了，小婢哪敢有如此不敬的心理，在我姐妹眼里，少爷是无所不能地，我们是以为您飞升到了灵界去………
"Enough, don't be in such a hurry. I was just joking with you."
“ hǎo le ， jí shén me ， wǒ shì yǔ nǐ kāi wán xiào de 。”
“好了，急什么，我是与你开玩笑的。”
Lin Xuan smiled slightly, his mood good. At that moment he entered the Netherworld Gate, Lin Xuan also thought they would never see each other again.
lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō ， tā xīn qíng bù cuò ， dāng chū jìn rù xiū luó zhī mén de yī kè ， lín xuān yě yǐ wéi tóng jǐ gè yā tou cóng cǐ shì yǒng bié le 。
林轩微笑着说，他心情不错，当初进入修罗之门的一刻，林轩也以为同几个丫头从此是永别了。
He didn’t expect to meet here one day, so telling jokes was perfectly normal.
méi xiǎng dào yǒu zhāo yī rì hái néng chóng féng ， gù ér shuō shuō xiào huà shì hěn zhèng cháng de 。
没想到有朝一日还能重逢，故而说说笑话是很正常的。
"Young Master, you are truly..."
“ shào yé ， nín zhēn shì ……。”
“少爷，您真是……。”
Lu Ying'er laughed and cried but dared not scold him. Lin Xuan treated his servants kindly, but she had to know when to be respectful. It wouldn't do to push himself on others. Hence, no matter what their personalities were in front of outsiders, they all obeyed him completely.
lù yíng ér kū xiào bù dé ， dàn yòu bù gǎn chēn guài shén me ， lín xuān dài xià rén qīn hòu ， dàn zì jǐ què yào dǒng lǐ shù ， dēng bí zi shàng liǎn shì bú duì de ， gù ér jǐ gè yā tou bù guǎn zài wài rén miàn qián shì shén me xìng gé ， duì zhe lín xuān de shí hòu ， què dōu kě yòng qiān yī bǎi shùn lái xíng róng 。
陆盈儿哭笑不得，但又不敢嗔怪什么，林轩待下人亲厚，但自己却要懂礼数，蹬鼻子上脸是不对的，故而几个丫头不管在外人面前是什么性格，对着林轩的时候，却都可用千依百顺来形容。
"Young Master, after you entered the Netherworld Gate, how did you disappear? And why have you suddenly appeared here now? Where did you go these years?" Liu Xin spoke up for her elder sister who was feeling awkward.
“ shào yé ， nín jìn rù xiū luó zhī mén hòu ， zěn me jiù bù zhī suǒ zōng ， rú jīn yòu tū rán chū xiàn zài cǐ chù ， zhè xiē nián ， nín jiū jìng dào nǎ lǐ qù le ？” jiàn dà jiě shòu jiǒng ， liú xīn cóng páng jiē kǒu le 。
“少爷，您进入修罗之门后，怎么就不知所踪，如今又突然出现在此处，这些年，您究竟到哪里去了？”见大姐受窘，刘芯从旁接口了。
"I indeed ascended to the Spirit Realm."
“ wǒ què rán shì fēi shēng dào líng jiè qù le 。”
“我确然是飞升到灵界去了。”
Lin Xuan sighed slightly and briefly explained his experience on Penglai Mountain. These girls were all his confidantes, so there was no need to hide anything from them.
lín xuān wēi wēi tàn xī ， yán jiǎn yì gāi de shuō chū liǎo dàng nián zài péng lái shān de jīng lì ， zhè jǐ gè yā tou dōu shì zì jǐ de xīn fù ， dào bù yòng yǐn mán tā men shén me 。
林轩微微叹息，言简意垓的说出了当年在蓬莱山的经历，这几个丫头都是自己的心腹，倒不用隐瞒她们什么。
The four girls listened in silence. Although they were now top-tier existences in the Mortal World, their strength still fell far short of breaking through the void and ascending to the Spirit Realm. Such a good thing was beyond their wildest dreams.
jǐ nǚ lèng lèng de tīng zhe ， suī rán rú jīn ， tā men zài rén jiè yě suàn shì dǐng jiē de cún zài le dàn jù lí pò suì xū kōng ， fēi shēng dào líng jiè de shí lì ， hái xiāng chà le shí wàn bā qiān lǐ ， zhè yàng de hǎo shì shì xiǎng yě bù gǎn xiǎng dì 。
几女愣愣的听着，虽然如今，她们在人界也算是顶阶的存在了但距离破碎虚空，飞升到灵界的实力，还相差了十万八千里，这样的好事是想也不敢想地。
"Does this mean that Miss Yue is separated from you halfway through your journey by teleportation?" Ye Ping'er's voice sounded somewhat shocked.
“ zhè me shuō shào yé shì tōng guò chuán sòng ， ér zài zhè tú zhōng yuè ér xiǎo jiě què yǔ nín fēn gé liǎng dì ， cóng cǐ bù zhī dào zài nǎ lǐ ？” yè píng ér yǒu xiē è rán de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ 。
“这么说少爷是通过传送，而在这途中月儿小姐却与您分隔两地，从此不知道在哪里？”叶瓶儿有些愕然的声音传入耳里。
"Yes," Lin Xuan said with a hint of melancholy on his face. "Back then, how could I have known that the Spirit Realm was composed of hundreds of fragmented small realms? Inter-realm teleportation is unpredictable, so I don't know where Miss Yue was teleported to."
“ bù cuò 。” lín xuān shuō dào zhè lǐ ， liǎn shàng yě fú xiàn chū yī sī wǎng chàng zhī yì ：“ dāng chū wǒ yòu nǎ lǐ xiǎo de ， líng jiè jū rán shì yóu shù bǎi gè zhī lí pò suì de xiǎo jiè miàn ， gòng tóng zǔ chéng de ， ér gé jiè chuán sòng ， gèng shì guǐ yì mò cè ， gù ér wǒ yě bù xiǎo de yuè ér bèi chuán dào nǎ lǐ qù le
“不错。”林轩说到这里，脸上也浮现出一丝惘怅之意：“当初我又哪里晓得，灵界居然是由数百个支离破碎的小界面，共同组成的，而隔界传送，更是诡异莫测，故而我也不晓得月儿被传到哪里去了
"But it doesn’t matter."
“ bù guò méi guān xì 。”
“不过没关系。”
Lin Xuan changed the subject and looked resolute in his eyes. "Even if we are temporarily separated, I will find her no matter how far I have to go."
shuō dào cǐ chù ， lín xuān què huà fēng yī zhuǎn ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò jiān dìng zhī sè ：“ zàn shí fēn kāi le yòu rú hé ， jiù suàn shì shàng tiān rù dì ， zǒng yǒu yī tiān ， wǒ yě huì jiāng yuè ér gěi xún huí lái de 。”
说到此处，林轩却话锋一转，眼中闪过坚定之色：“暂时分开了又如何，就算是上天入地，总有一天，我也会将月儿给寻回来的。”
"Indeed, your servant knows. With Young Master's ability, he can definitely succeed."
“ ń nú bì xiǎo de ， yǐ shào yé de néng nài ， yí dìng néng chéng gōng 。”
“嗯奴婢晓得，以少爷的能耐，一定能成功。”
Lu Ying'er smiled and interjected but sighed inwardly. Young Master was truly deeply attached to Miss Yue. If she could even get a tenth or a thousandth of his affection, she would be willing to die with a smile in her afterlife.
lù yíng ér wēi xiào zhe jiē kǒu ， rán ér xīn lǐ què shì tàn le kǒu qì ， shào yé duì yuè ér xiǎo jiě zhēn shì qíng shēn yì zhòng yǐ jí ， rú guǒ zì jǐ néng gòu dé dào bǎi fēn zhī yī ， bù nǎ pà shì qiān fēn zhī yī de lián xī ， yě wàn sǐ dū huì hán xiào jiǔ quán dì 。
陆盈儿微笑着接口，然而心里却是叹了口气，少爷对月儿小姐真是情深意重以极，如果自己能够得到百分之一，不哪怕是千分之一的怜惜，也万死都会含笑九泉地。
Of course, these thoughts were just for her own comfort. One should be content with what one has. With Young Master's protection, they had made it through the perilous times and received aid when needed; there was no reason to feel unsatisfied. Pride goes before a fall.
dāng rán zhè fān huà yě jiù xīn zhōng xiǎng xiǎng bà le ， rén guì zhī zú ， néng yǒu jīn rì ， dōu shì shào yé zhào fú , zài wēi nàn zhī jì ， néng dé dào yuán zhù ， gèng shì lǎo tiān yé chuí lián de yuán gù ， hái yǒu shén me bù mǎn zú ， rén xīn bù zú shé tūn xiàng kě shì huì zāo shòu tiān qiǎn de 。
当然这番话也就心中想想罢了，人贵知足，能有今日，都是少爷照拂,在危难之际，能得到援助，更是老天爷垂怜的缘故，还有什么不满足，人心不足蛇吞象可是会遭受天谴的。
Actually, she didn’t have many desires. As long as she could stay by Young Master’s side, doing small chores for him like making his bed and fetching water, she would be content and grateful to heaven.
qí shí ， tā de xiǎng fǎ bù duō ， zhǐ yào néng bàn zài shào yé shēn cè ， wèi tā pū chuáng dié bèi ， pēng chá dào shuǐ , zì jǐ jiù píng ān xǐ lè ， gǎn xiè shàng cāng le 。
其实，她的想法不多，只要能伴在少爷身侧，为他铺床叠被，烹茶倒水,自己就平安喜乐，感谢上苍了。
But...
kě …
可…
Lu Ying'er sighed deeply in her heart. This wish was impossible to fulfill. Not only was it unlikely that Young Master would remain in the Mortal World forever; the sparse qi here made it difficult for him to return to the Spirit Realm one day. At nine hundred years old, even with some cultivation techniques, she could live at most a century more. There was no time left to break through and enter the Separation stage. With her remaining lifespan so short, how could there be any chance of serving Young Master by fetching tea?
lù yíng ér xīn zhōng yōu yōu de tàn le kǒu qì ， zhè ge yuàn wàng shì bù kě néng shí xiàn dì ， qiě bù shuō shào yé bù kě néng yǒng yuǎn dài zài rén jiè ， zhè lǐ de líng qì tài guò xī bó ， yǒu zhāo yī rì ， tā hái shì huì chóng fǎn líng jiè qù de 。
陆盈儿心中幽幽的叹了口气，这个愿望是不可能实现地，且不说少爷不可能永远待在人界，这里的灵气太过稀薄，有朝一日，他还是会重返灵界去的。
The other girls also seemed lost in thought as the atmosphere turned somewhat silent.
ér zì jǐ yǐ jīng jiǔ bǎi yú suì nián jì ， jiù suàn xiū liàn yī xiē yǎng shēng zhī shù ， yě zuì duō bǎi yú nián hǎo huó ， zhè diǎn shí jiān ， gēn běn jiù bù kě néng jiāng jìng jiè tū pò ， mài rù lí hé ， yǎn kàn shòu yuán yǐ shì bù duō ， hái yǒu shén me jī huì wèi shào yé duān chá dào shuǐ ne ？
而自己已经九百余岁年纪，就算修炼一些养生之术，也最多百余年好活，这点时间，根本就不可能将境界突破，迈入离合，眼看寿元已是不多，还有什么机会为少爷端茶倒水呢？
"Ying'er, what’s wrong?"
ér qí tā jǐ nǚ yě bù zhī dào xiǎng dào le shén me ， yī shí jiān ， chǎng miàn jìng yǒu xiē chén mò 。
而其他几女也不知道想到了什么，一时间，场面竟有些沉默。
Lin Xuan spoke with a slight surprise. He didn’t know the reason behind it: "Did you get injured during the fight just now?"
“ yíng ér ， mí zěn me le ？”
“盈儿，弥怎么了？”
"Not at all," Lu Ying'er said with a smile. She was happy to see Young Master; she didn't want to share her worries. After all, no matter how powerful Young Master was, he couldn't make her enter the Separation stage in such a short time.
lín xuān lüè hán chà yì de kāi kǒu ， tā dāng rán bù xiǎo de shì qíng de yuán wěi shǐ mò ：“ nán dào gāng gāng zhàn dòu de shí hòu ， shòu shāng le ？”
林轩略含诧异的开口，他当然不晓得事情的原委始末：“难道刚刚战斗的时候，受伤了？”
Just as Lin Xuan wanted to say more, his brow furrowed. The girls' brows also furrowed as well. The reason was that there was suddenly a commotion outside.
“ bú shì ， xiǎo bì hěn hǎo , méi shì de 。”
“不是，小婢很好,没事的。”
Lu Ying'er couldn’t help getting angry. Didn’t she clearly tell everyone not to disturb them at this moment? Who dared be so bold?
lù yíng ér wēi xiào zhe shuō ， hǎo bù róng yì jiàn dào shào yé le ， tā kě bù xiǎng jiāng fán nǎo tǔ lù ， bì jìng shào yé běn shì zài liǎo de ， nán dào hái néng zài duǎn duǎn de shí jiān lǐ ， ràng zì jǐ jìn lí hé me ， xiǎng yě bù kě néng de 。
陆盈儿微笑着说，好不容易见到少爷了，她可不想将烦恼吐露，毕竟少爷本事再了得，难道还能在短短的时间里，让自己进离合么，想也不可能的。
Though the girl appeared gentle and compliant in front of Lin Xuan, she had her own opinions and decisiveness when dealing with outsiders. She wasn't afraid to make tough decisions.
lín xuān zhèng yù zài shuō ， suí hòu què méi tou yí zhòu ， jǐn jiē zhe ， lù yíng ér jǐ gè ， xiù méi yě fēn fēn zhòu qǐ lái le ， yuán yīn wú tā ， wài miàn jū rán chuán lái le yī zhèn xuān huá 。
林轩正欲再说，随后却眉头一皱，紧接着，陆盈儿几个，秀眉也纷纷皱起来了，原因无他，外面居然传来了一阵喧哗。
She seemed very assertive, but that was because of Young Master's protection; otherwise, as a woman, how could she rule Blood Curse Document Pavilion?
lù yíng ér bù yóu de dà nù ， zì jǐ bú shì shuō guò ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， shuí yě bù xǔ dǎ rǎo de me ， shì nǎ ge jiā huo ， zhè dǎn zi wèi miǎn yě tài dà le 。
陆盈儿不由得大怒，自己不是说过，此时此刻，谁也不许打扰的么，是哪个家伙，这胆子未免也太大了。
One should know the rules before one can achieve anything. As the head of a sect, if one wanted respect and reverence from subordinates, the most important thing was to enforce discipline and be fair in rewards and punishments.
bié kàn zhè yā tou zài lín xuān miàn qián wēn róu rú shuǐ ， lín xuān shuō shén me ， tā dōu zhǐ xiǎo de guāi guāi diǎn tóu ， dàn nà shì duì lín xuān , zài wài rén miàn qián ， lù yíng ér kě shì jí yǒu zhǔ jiàn ， shā fá jué duàn ， cóng bù huì shǒu ruǎn 。
别看这丫头在林轩面前温柔如水，林轩说什么，她都只晓得乖乖点头，但那是对林轩,在外人面前，陆盈儿可是极有主见，杀伐决断，从不会手软。
She had clearly given instructions, but someone ignored her words as if they were mere wind. How could Lu Ying'er not be angry? They didn't even consider her existence.
gěi rén de gǎn jué ， hěn qiáng shì ， ruò fēi rú cǐ , yǐ tā yī nǚ zǐ de shēn fèn ， yòu zěn me kě néng tǒng yù jìng xuān gé 。
给人的感觉，很强势，若非如此,以她一女子的身份，又怎么可能统御静轩阁。
Who dared to be so bold?
yào zhī dào gāi pài ， yǔ tiān yá hǎi gé bù tóng ， mén xià dì zǐ ， bìng fēi quán shì nǚ xiū ， ér shì yǔ pǔ tōng de xiū xiān mén pài gòu chéng shì yī yàng de 。
要知道该派，与天涯海阁不同，门下弟子，并非全是女修，而是与普通的修仙门派构成是一样的。
The thought made a hint of anger appear in the girl's eyes. But when she turned to Lin Xuan, her expression softened with apology and gentleness: "Young Master, I am sorry. I will go out right away to see what happened. Please stay here."
qiě bài xuān gé jīng guò shù bǎi nián de fā zhǎn ， hào chēng yún zhōu sān dà shì lì ， mén rén hé zhǐ shí wàn zhī duō ， ruò méi yǒu yí dìng de shǒu wàn ， rú hé tǒng yù nà me duō jié ào bù xùn de xiū xiān zhě 。
且拜轩阁经过数百年的发展，号称云州三大势力，门人何止十万之多，若没有一定的手腕，如何统御那么多桀骜不驯的修仙者。
"No need," Lin Xuan waved his hand dismissively. "Since you have nothing else to do, why not come along?"
sú huà shuō ， méi yǒu guī jǔ , bù chéng fāng yuán ， zuò wéi yī mén zhī zhǔ ， xiǎng yào dé dào shǔ xià de jìng wèi zūn zhòng ， zuì zhòng yào de yī tiáo ， jiù shì yào lìng xíng jìn zhǐ ， shǎng fá fēn míng 。
俗话说，没有规矩,不成方圆，作为一门之主，想要得到属下的敬畏尊重，最重要的一条，就是要令行禁止，赏罚分明。
"Alright..."
zì jǐ míng míng yǒu fēn fù ， duì fāng jū rán jiāng zì jǐ de huà dàng zuò le ěr biān fēng ， lù yíng ér rú hé bù nù ， duì fāng jiǎn zhí méi yǒu jiāng zì jǐ fàng zài yǎn zhōng 。
自己明明有吩咐，对方居然将自己的话当作了耳边风，陆盈儿如何不怒，对方简直没有将自己放在眼中。
Lu Ying'er didn't argue as she followed Young Master's instructions.
shì nǎ ge dǎn dà bāo tiān de jiā huo ！
是哪个胆大包天的家伙！
Lin Xuan stood up and the four girls followed him like shadows. They walked out of the hall toward the outside.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， shì shào nǚ de yǎn zhōng ， fú xiàn chū yī sī lì qì ， dàn zhuǎn tóu duì zhe lín xuān de shí hòu ， què shì wēn róu yǔ qiàn yì ：“ shào yé ， duì bù qǐ ， nú bì zhè jiù chū qù ， kàn kàn jiū jìng fā shēng le shén me ， hái qǐng nín ， zài zhè ér shāo zuò 。”
想到这里，是少女的眼中，浮现出一丝戾气，但转头对着林轩的时候，却是温柔与歉意：“少爷，对不起，奴婢这就出去，看看究竟发生了什么，还请您，在这儿稍坐。”
Soon they reached the door. Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of light and flew down, with the four girls following closely behind.
“ bù yòng le ， zuǒ yòu shì xián zhe ， hé bù yì qǐ chū qù kàn kàn rú hé 。” lín xuān bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， bù zài yì de shuō 。
“不用了，左右是闲着，何不一起出去看看如何。”林轩摆了摆手，不在意的说。
Outside Ling珑 Tower, several cultivators gathered.
“ xiān ”
“先”
Among them were three people dressed in the attire of enforcers, facing off against two cultivators, one male and one female. The man was around thirty years old, wearing a scholar’s robe, exuding an air of a bookish person.
lín xuān jì rán rú cǐ fēn fù ， lù yíng ér nǎ lǐ huì fǎn bó ， dāng jí shì gōng jìng bù rú cóng mìng le 。
林轩既然如此吩咐，陆盈儿哪里会反驳，当即是恭敬不如从命了。
PS: Soul Daoist Helan Mountain donated 10,000起点 coins again. The soul lord is too generous; I am very grateful to Soul Lord Phantasm Rain. Thank you for your support and encouragement. I will definitely work harder and not disappoint your trust and motivation!
yú shì lín xuān zhèn yī ér qǐ ， sì gè yā tou zé zài hòu miàn yì bù yì qū ， cù yōng zhe tā ， xiàng dà diàn wài zǒu qù 。
于是林轩振衣而起，四个丫头则在后面亦步亦趋，簇拥着他，像大殿外走去。
This was the first update of the day. Today would have a 9,000-word burst. The competition for monthly votes in the Immortal侠 category is always intense.

(To be continued) If you like this work, welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets; your support is my greatest motivation.
The development of Blood Curse Document Pavilion was beyond mention.
Though Lin Xuan had his own protection back then and had prepared a fallback plan before entering the Netherworld Gate, it was mainly due to several girls that he achieved today's success. This was akin to how a teacher could only lead one into the door of cultivation; the rest depended on individual effort.
Lin Xuan felt extremely relieved in his heart. "Young Master, back then, you and Fairy Ruyan entered the Netherworld Gate together, but later there were no traces of you. I thought..."
"Thought that I had perished?"
"Not at all."
Lu Ying'er shook her head, a look of anxiety on her face. "Young Master, you misunderstood. Your servant dares not think such disrespectful thoughts. In our sisters' eyes, Young Master is omnipotent; we just thought you ascended to the Spirit Realm..."
"Enough, don't be in such a hurry. I was just joking with you."
Lin Xuan smiled slightly, his mood good. At that moment he entered the Netherworld Gate, Lin Xuan also thought they would never see each other again.
He didn’t expect to meet here one day, so telling jokes was perfectly normal.
"Young Master, you are truly..."
Lu Ying'er laughed and cried but dared not scold him. Lin Xuan treated his servants kindly, but she had to know when to be respectful. It wouldn't do to push himself on others. Hence, no matter what their personalities were in front of outsiders, they all obeyed him completely.
"Young Master, after you entered the Netherworld Gate, how did you disappear? And why have you suddenly appeared here now? Where did you go these years?" Liu Xin spoke up for her elder sister who was feeling awkward.
