yún yǐn zōng zǒng duò de dòng fǔ ， lín xuān zhǐ jīng hěn mǎn yì le 。 rú jīn kàn jiàn de zhè ge ， cóng gè fāng miàn de tiáo jiàn lái shuō ， hái yào gèng shèng yī chóu 。
云隐宗总舵的洞府，林轩只经很满意了。如今看见的这个，从各方面的条件来说，还要更胜一筹。
The cave府 of the Cloud Concealing Sect's main base left Lin Xuan quite satisfied. This place, from all aspects, seemed to be even better.
“ hǎo ， nǐ men zuò dé hěn hǎo ， dōu xīn kǔ le 。”
“好，你们做得很好，都辛苦了。”
"Good job, everyone. You've worked hard."
lín xuān liǎn shàng mǎn shì xīn wèi de xiào róng 。
林轩脸上满是欣慰的笑容。
Lin Xuan's face was filled with a content smile.
“ shī shū （ shī zǔ ） miù zàn le ， zhǎng bèi yǒu shì ， dì zǐ fú qí láo ， néng wèi zhǎng lǎo xiū shàn dòng fǔ ， nǎi shì dì zǐ róng xìng de 。”
“师叔（师祖）谬赞了，长辈有事，弟子服其劳，能为长老修缮洞府，乃是弟子荣幸的。”
"Senior uncle (senior ancestor) flatters me too much. It is the elders' business, and it is the disciple's duty to serve them. Being able to repair the cave府 for the elder is an honor for the disciple," said one of the cultivators respectfully.
cǐ shí ， lín xuān yǐ lái dào dòng fǔ wài ， tā de shēn qián ， hái gōng jìng de shù lì zhāo shù shí míng xiū xiān zhě ， yǒu nán yǒu nǚ ， xiū wèi jìng jiè yě shì bù yī 。
此时，林轩已来到洞府外，他的身前，还恭敬的竖立着数十名修仙者，有男有女，修为境界也是不一。
At this moment, Lin Xuan had already arrived outside the cave府. Before him stood dozens of cultivators, both male and female, with varying cultivation levels.
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， měi gè rén liǎn shàng dōu shì xǐ sè， zōng mén fēn fù de rèn wù ， yǐ jīng wán chéng le ， zhè cì huí qù ， yí dìng huì yǒu fēng fù de jiǎng lì 。
然而此时此刻，每个人脸上都是喜sè，宗门吩咐的任务，已经完成了，这次回去，一定会有丰富的奖励。
However, at that moment, everyone's faces were filled with joy. The task assigned by their sect was completed, and they would surely receive rich rewards upon returning.
yǒu yī xiē xīn sī huó fàn de jiā huo ， shèn zhì qiāo qiāo tái qǐ tóu lái ， miáo le yī yǎn lín xuān 。
有一些心思活泛的家伙，甚至悄悄抬起头来，瞄了一眼林轩。
Some more cunning individuals even secretly raised their heads to glance at Lin Xuan.
tīng shuō zhè wèi lín shī zǔ chū shǒu háo kuò ， yě xǔ xiàn zài ， dōu néng dé dào yī xiē hǎo chù 。
听说这位林师祖出手豪阔，也许现在，都能得到一些好处。
They heard that Senior Lin was generous in his spending, perhaps now they could benefit from it too.
ér lín xuān ， yě què rán méi yǒu ràng tā men shī wàng 。
而林轩，也确然没有让他们失望。
And indeed, Lin Xuan did not disappoint them.
xiù páo yī fú ， yí gè chǔ wù dài fēi lüè ér chū 。
袖袍一拂，一个储物袋飞掠而出。
With a wave of his sleeves, a storage bag flew out.
lái dào gōng sūn yù ér de shēn biān ， cǐ nǚ zì rán shì shùn shǒu jiē le guò lái 。
来到公孙玉儿的身边，此女自然是顺手接了过来。
Approaching Gong Sun Yuer, she naturally took it over with ease.
“ zhè lǐ miàn yǒu yī xiē bǎo wù ， jiù suàn zuò lín mǒu duì nǐ men de jiǎng lì hǎo le ， zhì yú jù tǐ gāi zěn me fēn pèi ， yě yóu nǐ lái zuò 。” lín xuān dàn dàn de shuō 。
“这里面有一些宝物，就算作林某对你们的奖励好了，至于具体该怎么分配，也由你来做。”林轩淡淡的说。
"Here are some treasures; consider this as the reward for you all," said Lin Xuan in a calm voice.
“ shì ， duō xiè shī shū 。”
“是，多谢师叔。”
"Yes, thank Senior uncle."
gōng sūn yù ér jǐn jǐn shì yòng mù guāng yī sǎo ， jiù bèi xià le yī tiào ， lǐ miàn bǎo wù zhī duō ， jià zhí zhī dà ， yuǎn chāo yù qī 。
公孙玉儿仅仅是用目光一扫，就被吓了一跳，里面宝物之多，价值之大，远超预期。
Gong Sun Yuer was startled just by scanning her gaze across the contents. The number and value of the treasures far exceeded expectations.
lín shī shū chū shǒu kuò chuò ， guǒ rán shì shèng míng wú xū ， bìng fēi kōng xué lái fēng dì 。
林师叔出手阔绰，果然是盛名无虚，并非空穴来风地。
Senior Lin's generosity truly lived up to its reputation—there was no doubt about it.
chú le xīn xǐ hái shì xīn xǐ ， yǔ qí tā dì zǐ yì qǐ ， duì lín xuān bài xiè bù yǐ 。
除了欣喜还是欣喜，与其他弟子一起，对林轩拜谢不已。
With nothing but joy, they thanked Lin Xuan together.
“ bù yòng duō lǐ 。
“不用多礼。
"None of that."
lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō le yī jù ， rán hòu biàn xiù páo yī fú ， zuò le yí gè sòng kè de dòng zuò ， nà xiē xiū shì zì rán méi yǒu bù zhī qù de dào lǐ ， lián máng gào cí 。
林轩微笑着说了一句，然后便袖袍一拂，做了一个送客的动作，那些修士自然没有不知趣的道理，连忙告辞。
Lin Xuan smiled slightly before waving his sleeves again in a gesture to bid them farewell. The cultivators naturally knew better than to be rude and quickly took their leave.
hěn kuài yī dào dào dùn guāng jiù xiāo shī zài tiān jì ， zhè ruò dà de chóng shān jùn lǐng lǐ ， jiù zhǐ shèng xià lín xuān yī rén ér yǐ ， wéi yǒu niǎo míng shòu hǒu ， bù shí huí dàng zài ěr jì 。
很快一道道遁光就消失在天际，这偌大的崇山峻岭里，就只剩下林轩一人而已，唯有鸟鸣兽吼，不时回荡在耳际。
Soon, streaks of light disappeared into the horizon, leaving only Lin Xuan alone amidst the vast mountains and valleys. Only the occasional bird calls and beast roars echoed around him.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， wǔ yán liù sè de zhèn qí fēi lüè ér chū zhèn pán yě yǒu shù gè 。
林轩袖袍一拂，五颜六sè的阵旗飞掠而出阵盘也有数个。
Lin Xuan waved his sleeves again, sending colorful array flags flying out along with several array disks.
suī rán yún yǐn zōng rú jīn de shí lì ， yǐ shì jīn fēi xī bǐ ， cǐ dì jù lí zǒng duò bù guò shí wàn lǐ ， gèng shì běn mén de shì lì fàn wéi wú yú ， àn lǐ ， bù kě néng yǒu rén lái luō hǔ xū 。
虽然云隐宗如今的实力，已是今非昔比，此地距离总舵不过十万里，更是本门的势力范围无虞，按理，不可能有人来捋虎须。
Though the Cloud Concealing Sect's current strength had surpassed what it once was, this place was no more than ten million miles from the main base and within their territory. There should be no reason for someone to dare provoke them.
dàn xiǎo xīn yī xiē ， zǒng bú huì yǒu dà cuò 。
但小心一些，总不会有大错。
But better safe than sorry.
bì jìng bù guǎn shì xiū xíng yě hǎo ， hái shì jì liàn bǎo wù yě bà zuì jì huì de ， dōu shì yǒu rén dǎ rǎo 。
毕竟不管是修行也好，还是祭炼宝物也罢最忌讳的，都是有人打扰。
After all, whether in cultivation or refining treasures, the most dreaded thing was interference.
lín xuān shú mén shú lù ， hěn kuài jiù jiāng zhèn pán zhèn qí ， quán bù bù zài le zhè shān gǔ lǐ 。
林轩熟门熟路，很快就将阵盘阵旗，全部布在了这山谷里。
Lin Xuan set up the array disks and flags quickly throughout the valley. With his resources, he could easily contain even a late-stage spirit cultivator for several hours.
yǐ tā de shēn jiā ， ná chū lái de zì rán shì jīng pǐn wú yú ， jiù suàn shì fēn shén hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， yě néng gòu kùn zhù yī liǎng gè shí chén dì 。
以他的身家，拿出来的自然是jīng品无虞，就算是分神后期的修仙者，也能够困住一两个时辰地。
Without further ado, Lin Xuan returned to the cave府.
suí hòu ， lín xuān yě bù dān gē ， zhí jiē huí le dòng fǔ 。
随后，林轩也不耽搁，直接回了洞府。
These past few months of rest had greatly relaxed both his body and mind. Now was the perfect time for cultivation.
zhè liǎng sān gè yuè de xiū xī ， lín xuān shēn xīn dōu yǐ dé dào le jí dà de fàng sōng láo yì jié hé ， rú jīn zhèng shì xiū xíng de zuì jiā shí kè 。
这两三个月的休息，林轩身心都已得到了极大的放松劳逸结合，如今正是修行的最佳时刻。
However, Lin Xuan did not plan on cultivating right away because he still had something else to do: integrate and fuse the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword with its other attributes.
bù guò lín xuān zàn shí ， què bìng bù dǎ suàn xiū xíng ， yīn wèi tā hái yǒu yī jiàn shì qíng yào zuò 。
不过林轩暂时，却并不打算修行，因为他还有一件事情要做。
With a wave of his sleeves, an jade cylinder flew out.
jiāng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn qí tā de shǔ xìng liàn huà róng hé 。
将九宫须臾剑其他的属xìng炼化融合。
Lin Xuan sank his spirit into the Moonlight Heaven Witch Technique, searching for clues on how to refine the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword.
xiù páo yī fú ， yí gè yù tóng jiǎn fēi lüè ér chū 。
袖袍一拂，一个玉瞳简飞掠而出。
The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was named so because it combined the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—with the three talents—ice, wind, and lightning—and one more illusory element.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí chén rù yú mò yuè tiān wū jué zhōng ， xún zhǎo dào liàn zhì jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de xiàn suǒ 。
林轩将神识沉入于墨月天巫诀中，寻找到炼制九宫须臾剑的线索。
Nine palaces activated, invincible under heaven.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， gù míng sī yì ， nǎi shì yǐ jīn mù shuǐ huǒ tǔ wǔ xíng shǔ xìng， wài jiā shàng bīng fēng léi sān cái shǔ xìng， yǐ jí zuì hòu yī zhǒng huàn shǔ xìng gòng tóng wán chéng dì 。
九宫须臾剑，顾名思义，乃是以金木水火土五行属xìng，外加上冰风雷三才属xìng，以及最后一种幻属xìng共同完成地。
Of course, this claim might be exaggerated, but sweeping through peers was undoubtedly true.
jiǔ gōng tóng qǐ ， tiān xià wú dí 。
九宫同启，天下无敌。
To Lin Xuan, it seemed somewhat redundant. He naturally did not dare provoke those who could cause him to undergo tribulation. But if it came down to peers, he could easily eliminate any attackers with his superior skills and had long been invincible in the same rank.
dāng rán ， zhè ge shuō fǎ yǒu kuā dà qí cí ， dàn héng sǎo tóng jiē ， què jué duì bú shì chuī xū 。
当然，这个说法有夸大其词，但横扫同阶，却绝对不是吹嘘。
However, while this was true, if he truly managed to fully integrate all nine attributes, the true Nine Palaces Momentary Sword would be unleashed, and its power was beyond Lin Xuan's imagination.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， duì lín xuān ér yán ， sì hū yǒu diǎn jī lèi ， dù jié jí bié de cún zài ， lín xuān zì rán hái bù gǎn zhāo rě ， dàn jǐn jǐn shì tóng jiē xiū shì de huà ， lín xuān jiù suàn bèi shù rén wéi gōng ， yě néng gòu qīng sōng jiāng dí rén miè chú ， zǎo jiù tóng jiē wú dí le 。
表面上看，对林轩而言，似乎有点鸡肋，渡劫级别的存在，林轩自然还不敢招惹，但仅仅是同阶修士的话，林轩就算被数人围攻，也能够轻松将敌人灭除，早就同阶无敌了。
Perhaps it could withstand an early-stage tribulation cultivator without relying on any other treasures.
rán ér huà shì zhè yàng shuō méi cuò ， ruò zhēn néng jiāng jiǔ zhǒng shǔ xìng wán quán róng hé ， jiāng zhēn zhèng de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn jì liàn chū ， wēi lì yǒu duō dà ， lín xuān dōu bù gǎn chuǎi mó 。
然而话是这样说没错，若真能将九种属xìng完全融合，将真正的九宫须臾剑祭炼出，威力有多大，林轩都不敢揣摩。
In a nutshell, as long as he successfully refined this treasure,
kǒng pà bù jiè zhù bié de bǎo wù ， dān píng cǐ bǎo yě néng gòu yìng káng dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
恐怕不借助别的宝物，单凭此宝也能够硬扛渡劫初期的修仙者。
his strength would increase significantly. The complete version of the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword had always been something Lin Xuan yearned for.
huàn jù huà shuō ， zhǐ yào jiāng cǐ bǎo liàn zhì chéng gōng 。
换句话说，只要将此宝炼制成功。
To be honest, when the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring's quality was insufficient, Lin Xuan had hesitated over which treasure to choose.
zì jǐ de shí lì ， jiāng píng kōng zēng zhǎng xǔ duō ， gèng bú yào shuō wán zhěng bǎn de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， yuán běn jiù shì lín xuān mèng mèi yǐ qiú zhī wù 。
自己的实力，将凭空增长许多，更不要说完整版的九宫须臾剑，原本就是林轩梦寐以求之物。
The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was undoubtedly one of the most mysterious treasures he knew.
shuō shí huà ， dāng chū jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán pǐn zhì bù zú ， lín xuān zhǔn bèi chóng xīn liàn zhì běn mén bǎo wù ， jiū jìng xuǎn qǔ shén me ， yě shì jiū jié le hǎo jiǔ 。
说实话，当初九天明月环品质不足，林轩准备重新炼制本门宝物，究竟选取什么，也是纠结了好久。
However, the rare and precious materials required were too numerous. When Lin Xuan first saw the list, he was left speechless. He doubted whether he would ever have the chance to gather so many rare treasures in his lifetime.
jiù ná zhè jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn lái shuō ， gù rán shì zì jǐ suǒ zhī bǎo bèi zhōng zuì wèi xuán miào de yí gè 。
就拿这九宫须臾剑来说，固然是自己所知宝贝中最为玄妙的一个。
He had hesitated and wavered but ultimately chose the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword as his new命宝 (life treasure).
rán ér xiǎng yào liàn zhì chū wán zhěng bǎn de bǎo wù ， suǒ xū yào yòng dào de qí zhēn yě tài duō ， dāng chū lín xuān zhǐ shì kàn zhe qīng dān ， jiù bèi xià dé chēng mù jié shé ， zì wèn zhè yī bèi zi ， kǒng pà zhè yī bèi zi ， kǒng pà gēn běn méi yǒu jī huì còu qí nà me duō qí zhēn yì bǎo de 。
然而想要炼制出完整版的宝物，所需要用到的奇珍也太多，当初林轩只是看着清单，就被吓得瞠目结舌，自问这一辈子，恐怕这一辈子，恐怕根本没有机会凑齐那么多奇珍异宝的。
Such a choice seemed irrational to Lin Xuan himself. But regardless, that was how he decided.
tā yóu yù guò ， yě páng huáng guò ， dàn zuì zhōng ， guǐ shǐ shén chāi de ， hái shì xuǎn zé jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， zuò wéi zì jǐ xīn de běn mìng bǎo wù 。
他犹豫过，也彷徨过，但最终，鬼使神差的，还是选择九宫须臾剑，作为自己新的本命宝物。
Perhaps it was subconscious, because his ultimate goal was always to become stronger.
zhè yàng de xuǎn zé ， lín xuān zì jǐ dōu jué de bù kě sī yì ， tài bù lǐ zhì le xiē ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， tā jiù shì zhè yàng xuǎn le 。
这样的选择，林轩自己都觉得不可思议，太不理智了些，但不管如何，他就是这样选了。
Even if he knew there were challenges ahead, he could not back down; he wanted to be the strongest cultivator and thus chose the best命宝 for himself.
huò xǔ shì qián yì shí ràng tā zhè me zuò ， yīn wèi lín xuān zuì zhōng de mù biāo ， qí shí shì yào biàn dé gèng qiáng de 。
或许是潜意识让他这么做，因为林轩最终的目标，其实是要变得更强的。
So even though Lin Xuan guessed he might not gather all the materials needed for the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword, he still made that choice resolutely.
nǎ pà zhī dào qián miàn yǒu jiān nán xiǎn zǔ ， dàn yě bù néng tuì suō ， yào zuò jiù zuò zuì qiáng de xiū xiān zhě ， liàn zhì de běn mìng bǎo wù ， zì rán yě yào zuì hǎo de 。
哪怕知道前面有艰难险阻，但也不能退缩，要做就做最强的修仙者，炼制的本命宝物，自然也要最好的。
Over these thousands of years, Lin Xuan had endured countless hardships. But finally, his choice proved correct. Whether by chance or sheer luck, he managed to gather all the necessary materials for refining the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword.
suǒ yǐ ， jí biàn lín xuān cāi cè ， zì jǐ yě xǔ wú fǎ jiāng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn xū yào de cái liào còu zú ， dàn tā zuì hòu ， què hái shì zhè yàng yì wú fǎn gù 。
所以，即便林轩猜测，自己也许无法将九宫须臾剑需要的材料凑足，但他最后，却还是这样义无返顾。
In the training room now, Lin Xuan's composure was almost beyond control with excitement.
zhè jǐ qiān nián ， lín xuān zì jǐ dōu bù zhī dào chī le duō shǎo kǔ ， dàn zhōng yú ， shí jiàn zhèng míng tā de xuǎn zé bìng méi yǒu cuò ， bù guǎn shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， hái shì chún shǔ yùn qì bù cuò ， tā jiāng liàn zhì jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de cái liào ， wán quán còu zú 。
这几千年，林轩自己都不知道吃了多少苦，但终于，实践证明他的选择并没有错，不管是机缘巧合，还是纯属运气不错，他将炼制九宫须臾剑的材料，完全凑足。
The power of the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword as a user, Lin Xuan knew it well!
cǐ kè zài liàn gōng fáng zhōng ， yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yě yǒu xiē jī dòng dào bù néng zì yǐ de chéng dù 。
此刻在练功房中，以林轩的城府，也有些激动到不能自已的程度。
With just three attributes already so formidable, how much more powerful would it be if he truly succeeded in fusing all nine?
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de wēi lì yǒu duō dà ， zuò wéi shǐ yòng zhě ， lín xuān nà zì rán shì xīn zhī dù míng a ！
九宫须臾剑的威力有多大，作为使用者，林轩那自然是心知肚明啊！
Lin Xuan could not even assess its potential.
rú jīn guāng shì sān shǔ xìng de bǎo wù ， wēi lì jiù rú cǐ xī lì ， ruò shì yǒu cháo yī rì， zhēn chéng gōng róng hé ， nà huì yǒu duō qiáng dà ne ？
如今光是三属xìng的宝物，威力就如此犀利，若是有朝一rì，真成功融合，那会有多强大呢？
Perhaps, it wouldn't fall short of legendary treasures.
lín xuān dōu bù hǎo píng gū 。
林轩都不好评估。
Wasn't that outrageous?
yě xǔ ， bú huì bǐ chuán shuō zhōng de xiān tiān líng bǎo xùn sè。
也许，不会比传说中的先天灵宝逊sè。
After all, even late-stage tribulation cultivators might not possess such treasures.
tīng zhe shì bú shì hěn lí pǔ ？
听着是不是很离谱？
Legendary treasures were originally passed down from the True Immortal Realm. Although their names differed, in terms of power, they did not fall behind immortal palaces and rare treasures.
yào zhī dào ， jiù suàn shì dù jié hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， yě bù yí dìng yōng yǒu xiān tiān líng bǎo de 。
要知道，就算是渡劫后期的老怪物，也不一定拥有先天灵宝的。
There was even a theory that legendary treasures were essentially immortal palace rare treasures.
xiān tiān líng bǎo ， yuán běn jiù shì cóng zhēn xiān jiè liú chuán xià lái de bǎo wù ， suī rán jiào de míng zì bù tóng ， dàn ruò lùn wēi lì ， qí shí bìng bù bǐ xiān fǔ qí zhēn xùn sè。
先天灵宝，原本就是从真仙界流传下来的宝物，虽然叫的名字不同，但若论威力，其实并不比仙府奇珍逊sè。
Of course, this theory had yet to be confirmed and merely circulated among high-ranking cultivators as speculation.
shèn zhì yǒu yī zhǒng shuō fǎ ， xiān tiān líng bǎo ， qí shí jiù shì xiān fǔ qí zhēn de 。
甚至有一种说法，先天灵宝，其实就是仙府奇珍的。
But the thought of a treasure like the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword matching such power filled Lin Xuan with immense excitement.
dāng rán ， zhè zhǒng shuō fǎ ， bìng méi yǒu dé dào zhèng shí ， yán gé lái shuō ， jǐn jǐn shì liú chuán yú gāo jiē xiū shì zhōng de yī zhǒng tuī cè ér yǐ 。
当然，这种说法，并没有得到证实，严格来说，仅仅是流传于高阶修士中的一种推测而已。
Moreover, unlike legendary treasures, since it was his命宝, its power would grow in tandem with his strength. The more powerful he became, the stronger the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword would be, and it could grow along with him. From this perspective, the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword might even surpass legendary treasures.
The cave府 of the Cloud Concealing Sect's main base left Lin Xuan quite satisfied. This place, from all aspects, seemed to be even better.
"Good job, everyone. You've worked hard."
Lin Xuan's face was filled with a content smile.
"Senior uncle (senior ancestor) flatters me too much. It is the elders' business, and it is the disciple's duty to serve them. Being able to repair the cave府 for the elder is an honor for the disciple," said one of the cultivators respectfully.
At this moment, Lin Xuan had already arrived outside the cave府. Before him stood dozens of cultivators, both male and female, with varying cultivation levels.
However, at that moment, everyone's faces were filled with joy. The task assigned by their sect was completed, and they would surely receive rich rewards upon returning.
Some more cunning individuals even secretly raised their heads to glance at Lin Xuan.
They heard that Senior Lin was generous in his spending, perhaps now they could benefit from it too.
And indeed, Lin Xuan did not disappoint them.
With a wave of his sleeves, a storage bag flew out.
Approaching Gong Sun Yuer, she naturally took it over with ease.
"Here are some treasures; consider this as the reward for you all," said Lin Xuan in a calm voice.
"Yes, thank Senior uncle."
Gong Sun Yuer was startled just by scanning her gaze across the contents. The number and value of the treasures far exceeded expectations.
Senior Lin's generosity truly lived up to its reputation—there was no doubt about it.
With nothing but joy, they thanked Lin Xuan together.
"None of that."
Lin Xuan smiled slightly before waving his sleeves again in a gesture to bid them farewell. The cultivators naturally knew better than to be rude and quickly took their leave.
