zhèng què de shuō ， yīng gāi shì yī wèi dà rén wù de shǐ zhě ， běn shēn de xiū wèi bìng bù rú hé ， rán ér děng tā biǎo míng lái yì yǐ hòu ， fù zé jiē dài de dì zǐ què dà jīng shī sè， lián máng dài tā qù jiàn tài shàng zhǎng lǎo 。
正确的说，应该是一位大人物的使者，本身的修为并不如何，然而等他表明来意以后，负责接待的弟子却大惊失sè，连忙带他去见太上长老。
Correctly speaking, it was a messenger of a high-ranking figure. His own cultivation was not particularly impressive, but once he revealed his purpose, the disciple responsible for receiving guests was greatly alarmed and hurried him to meet the Supreme Elder.
rú jīn yún yǐn zōng zhǔ shì de shì lóng xìng shào nián ， lìng wài liǎng rén dōu zài bì guān 。
如今云隐宗主事的是龙姓少年，另外两人都在闭关。
Currently, the sect leader of Cloud Concealment Sect was a young man named Long. The other two were in seclusion.
hái yǒu yī wèi huà shì zhě ， zé shì gōng sūn yù ér le ， cǐ nǚ suī rán zhǐ shì dòng xuán jí bié de cún zài ， rán ér tā dài biǎo de ， què shì lín xuān 。
还有一位话事者，则是公孙玉儿了，此女虽然只是洞玄级别的存在，然而她代表的，却是林轩。
The head of affairs was Lady Gongbar Yu'er. Although she was only at the Cave Profound Realm, she represented Lin Xuan. Therefore, even during normal times, her opinions were highly valued by the young man with the surname Long. After seeing off the unexpected guest, he immediately summoned Lady Gongbar Yu'er for a meeting.
gù ér píng cháng zhī shí ， biàn shì lóng xìng shào nián ， duì tā de yì jiàn ， yě shí fēn zhòng shì ， sòng zǒu nà bù sù zhī kè yǐ hòu ， lì kè qǐng gōng sūn yù ér qián lái yì shì 。
故而平常之时，便是龙姓少年，对她的意见，也十分重视，送走那不速之客以后，立刻请公孙玉儿前来议事。
The discussion did not last long. In just a short while—less than a cup of tea—the two left the hall and went their separate ways. The young man with the surname Long headed to the cave dwelling of the silver-eyed maiden, while Lady Gongbar Yu'er went to her master's place of seclusion in Drifting Cloud Valley.
tǎo lùn méi duō jiǔ 。
讨论没多久。
This sacred land had long been well-maintained. Lin Xuan had spent over a decade diligently cultivating within the valley.
jǐn jǐn yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu yǐ hòu ， liǎng rén jiù lí kāi le dà diàn ， gè bēn dōng xī ér lái 。
仅仅一盏茶的功夫以后，两人就离开了大殿，各奔东西而来。
Lady Gongbar Yu'er's arrival surprised Lin Xuan; could it be that she encountered some difficulties during her cultivation? However, his guess was incorrect this time. Lady Gongbar Yu'er sought him out not because of stagnation in his cultivation.
lóng xìng shào nián qù yín tóng shào nǚ de dòng fǔ ， gōng sūn yù ér zé qù shī fù de bì guān zhī chù 。
龙姓少年去银瞳少女的洞府，公孙玉儿则去师傅的闭关之处。
In fact, with his guidance and the gifts he provided, Lady Gongbar Yu'er's progress had been rapid. Describing her improvement as "a thousand miles a day" would be an understatement. She came here because the messenger brought news that was too shocking to ignore.
yě jiù shì bǎi huā gǔ 。
也就是百花谷。
Although the messenger himself was only at the Core Formation Realm, his backing was formidable. He was none other than the envoy of Master Nailong.
cǐ líng dì zì rán zǎo yǐ xiū shàn hǎo le 。
此灵地自然早已修缮好了。
Yes, you did not misread it; it was indeed Master Nailong who sent him.
zhè shí duō nián ， lín xuān yì zhí zài shān gǔ nèi kè kǔ xiū liàn 。
这十多年，林轩一直在山谷内刻苦修炼。
The reason was simple: he came with a marriage invitation.
gōng sūn yù ér de dào lái ， ràng lín xuān dà gǎn yǐ wài ， nán dào zhè yā tou xiū liàn yòu yù jiàn le shén me yí nán ？
公孙玉儿的到来，让林轩大感以外，难道这丫头修炼又遇见了什么疑难？
A wedding invitation.
bù guò lín xuān suī jī biàn bǎi chū ， zhè yī cì què cāi cè chū cuò 。
不过林轩虽机变百出，这一次却猜测出错。
It wasn't some trivial concubine ceremony but rather a genuine intention to marry a dual cultivation partner.
gōng sūn yù ér lái zhǎo tā ， kě bú shì yīn wèi xiū wèi tíng zhì bù qián 。
公孙玉儿来找他，可不是因为修为停滞不前。
When Lady Gongbar Yu'er explained the situation, Lin Xuan was equally surprised. Master Nailong was known as a playboy in the Three Realms, with countless beauties from all three realms having had fleeting relationships with him. However, he had few official concubines, let alone dual cultivation partners.
qià qià xiāng fǎn ， yīn wèi dé dào tā de zhǐ diǎn ， yòu yǒu zèng sòng de dān yào bǎo wù ， gōng sūn yù ér de xiū liàn hěn kuài ， yòng yī rì qiān lǐ lái xíng róng ， nà shì bù dài fēn háo kuā zhāng de 。
恰恰相反，因为得到他的指点，又有赠送的丹药宝物，公孙玉儿的修炼很快，用一rì千里来形容，那是不带分毫夸张的。
Who could it be that managed to win over even such an influential figure?
xiǎo yā tou zhī suǒ yǐ lái dào cǐ chù ， shì yīn wèi nà bù sù zhī kè dài lái de xiāo xī tài guò jīng shì hài sú 。
小丫头之所以来到此处，是因为那不速之客带来的消息太过惊世骇俗。
Lin Xuan's curiosity was burning like a wildfire. Unfortunately, Lady Gongbar Yu'er did not know that the invitation had already been delivered but that Master Nailong specifically instructed that only Lin Xuan could open it.
nà rén suī rán běn shēn zhǐ shì yī míng yuán yīng jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， rán ér tā bèi hòu de shì lì què ràng rén chēng mù 。
那人虽然本身只是一名元婴级别的修仙者，然而他背后的势力却让人瞠目。
Although Cloud Concealment Sect was no longer as formidable as before, who in this world of cultivators would dare treat Master Nailong with anything less than reverence?
cǐ rén jū rán shì nài lóng zhēn rén de shǐ zhě 。
此人居然是鼐龙真人的使者。
Moreover, Master Nailong was a late-stage Golden Immortal, his power incomprehensible. If there were any special restrictions on the invitation, they could not be ignored.
duì ， dà jiā méi yǒu kàn cuò 。
对，大家没有看错。
Therefore, despite their curiosity, Lady Gongbar Yu'er and the young man with the surname Long did not dare touch the invitation until Lin Xuan returned.
jiù shì nài lóng zhēn rén pài tā lái de 。
就是鼐龙真人派他来的。
"Ah, I see."
zhì yú yuán yóu dào yě jiǎn dān ， shuō shì lái gěi lín xuān sòng qǐng shù 。
至于缘由倒也简单，说是来给林轩送请束。
With a full understanding of the situation, Lin Xuan's curiosity was like an unstoppable flood. He even sped up his journey, finding Lady Gongbar Yu'er's light too slow. Wrapping her in a blue glow, he flew towards the hall at breakneck speed.
jié hūn de qǐng jiǎn 。
结婚的请柬。
Lin Xuan's speed was so fast that it seemed almost instantaneous—over ten thousand miles in the blink of an eye.
jù shuō nài lóng zhēn rén yào jǔ xíng shuāng xiū dà diǎn 。
据说鼐龙真人要举行双修大典。
He entered the hall and saw two familiar figures waiting inside: the silver-eyed maiden and the young man with the surname Long.
zhè kě bú shì shén me nà qiè de diǎn lǐ ， ér shì zhēn zhēn zhèng zhèng dǎ suàn qǔ yī wèi shuāng xiū dào lǚ 。
这可不是什么纳妾的典礼，而是真真正正打算娶一位双修道侣。
The former’s light travel was slower than Lin Xuan, but her cave dwelling was closer to the sect, so she returned first. After a brief exchange, their conversation turned to the matter at hand. "Where is Master Long's invitation?"
tīng gōng sūn yù ér shuō míng yuán yóu ， lín xuān yě dà gǎn jīng è ， nài lóng zhēn rén bú shì sān jiè yǒu míng de huā huā gōng zi me ， tīng shuō yǔ tā yǒu guò lù shuǐ yīn yuán de sān jiè měi nǚ wú shù ， rán ér yǒu shì qiè míng fèn de bìng bù duō ， gèng bú yào shuō shuāng xiū dào lǚ le zhè me duō nián le ， nài lóng zhēn rén suī rán chù chù liú qíng ， dàn zhèng qī de míng fèn ， què yì zhí kòng quē zài nà lǐ 。
听公孙玉儿说明缘由，林轩也大感惊愕，鼐龙真人不是三界有名的花花公子么，听说与他有过露水姻缘的三界美女无数，然而有侍妾名分的并不多，更不要说双修道侣了这么多年了，鼐龙真人虽然处处留情，但正妻的名分，却一直空缺在那里。
"Here."
jiū jìng shì nà wèi měi nǚ ， néng gòu ràng nài lóng zhēn rén yě shōu ， xīn 。
究竟是那位美女，能够让鼐龙真人也收，心。
As he spoke, the young man handed over a large red wedding invitation. At first glance, it resembled a modern-day wedding invitation.
lín xuān chú le hào qí hái shì hào qí ， bā guà zhī hún xióng xióng rán qǐ 。
林轩除了好奇还是好奇，八卦之魂熊熊燃起。
However, upon closer inspection, its beauty was incomparable—ten thousand times more exquisite than any ordinary one. It was also an extraordinary treasure.
kě xī gōng sūn yù ér yě bù zhī ， nà qīng jiǎn suī rán yǐ jīng sòng dào le zhè lǐ ， dàn shǐ zhě zǒu zhī qián què yán míng ， shuō nài lóng zhēn rén qīn kǒu fēn fù ， zhè qǐng jiǎn zhǐ yǒu lín xuān cái néng dǎ kāi de 。
可惜公孙玉儿也不知，那清柬虽然已经送到了这里，但使者走之前却言明，说鼐龙真人亲口吩咐，这请柬只有林轩才能打开的。
Master Nailong was a late-stage Golden Immortal, capable of using divine trees for painting and possessing immense wealth. Even Lin Xuan could not match his resources.
yún yǐn zōng suī rán jīn fēi xī bǐ ， dàn cǐ jiè de xiū xiān zhě ， nǎ yī xià ）， yòu bú duì nài lóng zhēn rén fèng ruò shén míng ？
云隐宗虽然今非昔比，但此界的修仙者，哪一吓），又不对鼐龙真人奉若神明？
Such an invitation would naturally be grand. However, even Lin Xuan couldn't discern the material used to make it.
zài shuō ， nài lóng zhēn rén kě shì dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， shén tōng zhī qiáng ， kě yǐ shuō shì gāo shēn mò cè ， wàn yī nà qǐng jiǎn shàng yǒu shén me yě tè bié de jìn zhì shǒu jiǎo ne ？
再说，鼐龙真人可是渡劫后期的修仙者，神通之强，可以说是高深莫测，万一那请柬上有什么也特别的禁制手脚呢？
This wasn’t unusual; while Lin Xuan might seem incredibly powerful in the eyes of his seniors, compared to Master Nailong, he was on a completely different level—both in terms of cultivation and wealth.
gù ér gōng sūn yù ér yǔ lóng xìng shào nián suī rán xīn zhōng hào qí dàn zài lín xuān wèi huí lái zhī qián ， què jué duì bù gǎn dòng nà qǐng jiǎn 。
故而公孙玉儿与龙姓少年虽然心中好奇但在林轩未回来之前，却绝对不敢动那请柬。
Even now, before Master Nailong, Lin Xuan could only be considered an ant, at best a particularly strong one.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。”
“原来如此。”
This wasn’t self-deprecation; it was the true disparity between their powers.
liǎo jiě liǎo shì qíng de shǐ mò ， lín xuān de hào qí xīn yě rú hóng shuǐ měng shòu bān shì bù kě dǎng le ， shèn zhì lái bù jí yǐ xún cháng sù dù gǎn lù ， xián gōng sūn yù ér de dùn guāng tài màn le ， hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ jiāng cǐ nǚ yī guǒ ， suí hòu jiù xiàng tiān jì fēi qù le 。 mǎo
了解了事情的始末，林轩的好奇心也如洪水猛兽般势不可挡了，甚至来不及以寻常速度赶路，嫌公孙玉儿的遁光太慢了，浑身青芒一起将此女一裹，随后就像天际飞去了。冇
Since the invitation was addressed to him, Lin Xuan naturally didn't hesitate. He released his divine sense and checked for any issues before injecting magical energy into the invitation.
lín xuān dùn sù quán kāi ， nà qǐ zhǐ shì fēng chí diàn chè ， jiǎn zhí yǔ shùn yí yě xiāng chà fǎng fú ， shí duō wàn lǐ ， qǐng kè jiù dào le 。
林轩遁速全开，那岂止是风驰电掣，简直与瞬移也相差仿佛，十多万里，顷刻就到了。
As he did so, very pleasant and festive music played. With the music, the large red wedding invitation finally opened.
yī lù méi yǒu dān gē ， zhí bēn dà diàn ér lái 。
一路没有耽搁，直奔大殿而来。
Several lines of elegant and powerful text appeared. "On February 1st, Master Nailong will hold a dual cultivation ceremony with Fairy Qianqian. We invite our dear friend Lin Xuan to grace us with your presence."
yī jìn qù ， jiù kàn jiàn liǎng gè shú xī de shēn yǐng děng zài lǐ miàn 。
一进去，就看见两个熟悉的身影等在里面。
"Foe," this term was particularly inappropriate.
yín tóng shào nǚ yǔ lóng xìng shào nián 。
银瞳少女与龙姓少年。
The expressions on the faces of the silver-eyed maiden, the young man with the surname Long, and Lady Gongbar Yu'er all changed dramatically.
qián zhě de dùn guāng sù dù bù jí lín xuān dàn dòng fǔ jiù zài zōng mén nèi bù ， bǐ lín xuān jìn dé duō ， gù ér hái xiān huí lái 。
前者的遁光速度不及林轩但洞府就在宗门内部，比林轩近得多，故而还先回来。
Originally, peeping from the side would have been impolite. But Master Nailong actually sent an invitation to Lin Xuan—what a scandal! The three couldn't resist their curiosity.
lüè lüè hán xuān le jǐ jù ， jǐ rén de huà yǔ ， jiù zhuǎn xiàng le zhèng tí 。“ lóng shī xiōng nà qǐng shù zài nǎ jiǎ ？”
略略寒暄了几句，几人的话语，就转向了正题。“龙师兄那请束在哪甲？”
Seeing the term "dear friend," they were truly shocked. When did Junior Apprentice Brother (Master) become acquainted with Master Nailong and start calling him by such terms?
“ zhè lǐ 。”
“这里。”
Amidst shock after shock, the three were left speechless.
lóng xìng shào nián yī biān shuō ， yī biān jiāng yī dà hóng xǐ tiě dì le guò lái zhà yī kàn ， yǔ shí shàng de qǐng shù ， hái zhēn yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì 。
龙姓少年一边说，一边将一大红喜帖递了过来乍一看，与时尚的请束，还真有几分相似。
"Junior Apprentice Brother Lin, you…" The silver-eyed maiden sucked in a breath, hesitated, then stopped.
rán ér yě zhǐ shì xíng sì ， zǐ xì yī qiáo ， cǐ wù yào jīng měi yī wàn bèi dōu bù zhǐ ， ér qiě běn shēn jiù shì yī jiàn yì bǎo 。
然而也只是形似，仔细一瞧，此物要jīng美一万倍都不止，而且本身就是一件异宝。
Despite knowing that Junior Apprentice Brother was extraordinary, they had never imagined he would be so deep and mysterious as to call Master Nailong by such terms. He was a top-tier figure in the Three Realms, not inferior to the three Loose Immortals or the three Demon Kings.
yào zhī dào ， nài lóng zhēn rén kě shì dù jié hòu qī de jué qiǎng rén wù ， néng gòu ná yǎng shén mù ， zuò huà xián ， shēn jiā jí biàn shì lín xuān ， yě wú fǎ wàng qí bèi xū 。
要知道，鼐龙真人可是渡劫后期的绝强人物，能够拿养神木，做画舷，身家即便是林轩，也无法望其背须。
"Haha, it was just a chance encounter," Lin Xuan said weakly.
tā yào jǔ xíng shuāng xiū dà diǎn ， zhè yàn qǐng bīn kè de qǐng jiǎn ， yòu zěn me kě néng hán chěn 。
他要举行双修大典，这宴请宾客的请柬，又怎么可能寒碜。
However, their faces betrayed disbelief. Both the silver-eyed maiden and the young man with the surname Long didn't believe what Master had said. Even Lady Gongbar Yu'er, who called him "Master," found his words hard to accept.
běn shēn jiù shì yī jiàn áng bǎo ， zhǐ shì lián lín xuān dōu kàn bù chū jiū jìng cǎi yòng de ， shì shén me cái liào 。
本身就是一件昂宝，只是连林轩都看不出究竟采用的，是什么材料。
Lin Xuan felt speechless; perhaps he was too unsuccessful as a person.
zhè bù xī qí ， bié kàn lín xuān zài shī xiōng shī jiě de yǎn lǐ ， nà shì qiáng dà wú bǐ ， dàn ruò shì yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén xiāng bǐ ， zé gēn běn bú shì yí gè céng miàn dì 。
这不稀奇，别看林轩在师兄师姐的眼里，那是强大无比，但若是与鼐龙真人相比，则根本不是一个层面地。
In truth, he hadn’t tried to conceal anything. He did indeed only have a brief encounter with Master Nailong.
bù lùn shì xiū wèi ， hái shì cái fù ， jiē rú cǐ 。
不论是修为，还是财富，皆如此。
The invitation was for the sake of festivity, and the terms were merely ceremonial. Lin Xuan, despite his considerable cultivation, couldn't identify the material used either.
nǎ pà shì rú jīn de tā ， zài nài lóng zhēn rén miàn qián ， yě zhǐ néng suàn lóu yǐ ， zuì duō bù guò ， shì bǐ jiào qiáng dà de lóu yǐ 。
哪怕是如今的他，在鼐龙真人面前，也只能算蝼蚁，最多不过，是比较强大的蝼蚁。
Actually, it wasn’t that he was trying to hide; compared to Master Nailong, he was on a completely different level—both in terms of cultivation and wealth.
zhè jué fēi wàng zì fēi bó， ér shì liǎng rén jiān ， shí lì zhēn mǎo shí de chā jù 。
这绝非妄自菲bó，而是两人间，实力真冇实的差距。
Even now, before Master Nailong, Lin Xuan could only be considered an ant, at best a particularly strong one.
jì rán yán míng qǐng de shì zì jǐ ， lín xuān dāng rán bú huì kè qì ， fàng chū shén shí ， lüè lüè chá tàn le yī xià méi yǒu bù tuǒ ， suí hòu lín xuān biàn wǎng lǐ miàn zhù rù fǎ lì le 。
既然言明请的是自己，林轩当然不会客气，放出神识，略略查探了一下没有不妥，随后林轩便往里面注入法力了。
This wasn't self-deprecation; it was the true disparity between their powers.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， fēi cháng yuè ěr qiě xǐ qìng de yīn yuè xiǎng qǐ ， bàn suí zhe nà yīn yuè ， dà hóng xǐ tiě zhōng yú dǎ kāi le 。
随着他的动作，非常悦耳且喜庆的音乐响起，伴随着那音乐，大红喜帖终于打开了。
After confirming that the invitation was for him, Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate to release his divine sense and check for any issues before injecting magical energy into it. As he did so, very pleasant and festive music played. With the music, the large red wedding invitation finally opened.
