ér lín xuān zài jīng yà de tóng shí ， zài chǎng de nà xiē dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， hé cháng bú shì xīn lǐ dí gū 。
而林轩在惊讶的同时，在场的那些渡劫期老怪物，何尝不是心里嘀咕。
While Lin Xuan was surprised, the old monsters of the劫雷 period (Thunderbolt Tribulation Stage) on the scene couldn't help but murmur to themselves.
néng ràng nài lóng zhēn rén qīn yíng de rén wù ， bù yòng xiǎng ， yě zhī dào kěn dìng fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， nǎ zhī dào shì dào lín tóu ， dài huí lái de jū rán shì liǎng gè fēn shén jí bié de xiǎo jiā huo 。
能让鼐龙真人亲迎的人物，不用想，也知道肯定非同小可，哪知道事到临头，带回来的居然是两个分神级别的小家伙。
The individuals who could make Daoist Nael Dragon personally greet them were undoubtedly not ordinary. Who would have thought that bringing back two separation spirit period (Divine Spirit Stage) youngsters was the result?
zhè yǔ dà jiā de yù qī ， xiāng chà wèi miǎn yǒu shí wàn bā qiān lǐ 。
这与大家的预期，相差未免有十万八千里。
This was far from what everyone had expected.
“ nà ge ……， wǒ méi kàn cuò ba ！” yī tóng yán hè fà de lǎo zhě qīng hū 。
“那个……，我没看错吧！”一童颜鹤发的老者轻呼。
"Hey, I didn’t see it wrong, did I!" exclaimed an old man with a youthful appearance and white hair.
“ zhǐ shì liǎng gè xiǎo bèi ， nài lóng zhè shì gàn má ， kāi wán xiào ma ？”
“只是两个小辈，鼐龙这是干嘛，开玩笑吗？”
"Just two juniors, why is Nael Dragon doing this? Is he joking around?"
“ jiù shì ， zhè zhǒng děng jí de xiǎo jiā huo ， qǐng lái cān jiā diǎn lǐ yǐ jīng yǒu xiē bù kào pǔ ， jū rán hái qīn zì yíng jiē ， zhè yě wèi miǎn tài ……”
“就是，这种等级的小家伙，请来参加典礼已经有些不靠谱，居然还亲自迎接，这也未免太……”
"Yes, such low-level figures being invited to attend the ceremony is already unreliable. Personally greeting them, that's too... unusual."
zài chǎng de xiū xiān zhě ， nǎ yí gè bú shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě de rén wù ， suí biàn tiāo yí gè chū lái ， nà dōu shì yī fāng bà zhǔ ， dà fēng dà làng jīng lì guò wú shù ， yuán běn shì bù yīng gāi zhè me chén bú zhù qì de 。
在场的修仙者，哪一个不是非同小可的人物，随便挑一个出来，那都是一方霸主，大风大浪经历过无数，原本是不应该这么沉不住气的。
Amongst the cultivators present, each was no ordinary figure. Picking any one of them would make them a dominant force in their region, having experienced countless storms and tribulations. They should not have been so flustered.
rán ér yǎn qián zhè shì ér ， shí zài shì zěn me shuō ne ， tā men lái de shí hòu ， dà bù fèn nài lóng zhēn rén yě zhǐ shì pài yī shì nǚ yǐn lù ， yuán běn yě méi huà shuō ， nài lóng zhēn rén de shí lì ， yuán běn jiù shèng tā men yī chóu 。
然而眼前这事儿，实在是怎么说呢，他们来的时候，大部分鼐龙真人也只是派一侍女引路，原本也没话说，鼐龙真人的实力，原本就胜他们一筹。
However, this matter before their eyes was truly perplexing. When they arrived, Nael Dragon usually only dispatched a maid to lead the way, which wasn't an issue since his strength was already superior to theirs.
kě xiàn zài dào hǎo ， lái liǎng gè xiǎo bèi ， nài lóng què qù zì yíng jiē le 。
可现在倒好，来两个小辈，鼐龙却去自迎接了。
Now, with two juniors, Nael Dragon personally went out to greet them.
ruò shì bù zhī dào hái hǎo ， zhè yī qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， nǐ ràng tā men de liǎn wǎng nǎ ér gē ， shuō qíng hé yǐ kān nà yě bù wèi guò 。
若是不知道还好，这一亲眼目睹，你让他们的脸往哪儿搁，说情何以堪那也不为过。
If they didn’t know better, this firsthand experience would make it hard for them to face others. It might even be considered too much of a joke.
yī shí jiān ， dǐ xià zhòng rén de mù guāng ， dōu jí zhōng zài liǎng rén de shēn shàng 。
一时间，底下众人的目光，都集中在两人的身上。
The gazes from the crowd quickly focused on Lin Xuan and Yun Ruo Yan.
jīng yà 、 máng rán 、 fèn nù 、 bù jiě ， shèn zhì hái yǒu jí dù ， bù yī ér zú ……，
惊讶、茫然、愤怒、不解，甚至还有嫉妒，不一而足……，
Surprise, confusion, anger, incomprehension—there were all sorts of emotions present…
zhè méi yǒu shén me xī qí zhī chù ， měi gè rén de xiǎng fǎ bù tóng ， nà mù guāng suǒ yùn hán de yì yì ， zì rán yě shì qiān chā wàn bié de ， nán yǐ yòng yī yàng de yán yǔ biǎo shù 。
这没有什么稀奇之处，每个人的想法不同，那目光所蕴含的意义，自然也是千差万别的，难以用一样的言语表述。
There was nothing unusual about this; everyone had different thoughts, so their gazes carried varying meanings that couldn't be expressed in a single word.
lín xuān hé yún ruò yán yě hěn kuài zhù yì dào ， nà gǎn jué zì rán shì bù tài hǎo ， cóng gǔ zhì jīn ， fàng yǎn sān jiè ， kǒng pà hái cóng lái méi yǒu yī míng fèn shén qī xiū xiān zhě yǐn qǐ zhè me duō dù jié qī lǎo guài wù de guān zhù 。
林轩和云若颜也很快注意到，那感觉自然是不太好，从古至今，放眼三界，恐怕还从来没有一名分神期修仙者引起这么多渡劫期老怪物的关注。
Lin Xuan and Yun Ruo Yan soon noticed the atmosphere. It wasn’t good at all. Throughout history, there had never been a separation spirit period (Divine Spirit Stage) cultivator who attracted this much attention from old monsters of the劫雷 period (Thunderbolt Tribulation Stage).
nà jù tǐ de gǎn jué
那具体的感觉
The feeling was akin to a gentle sheep being targeted by a pack of wolves.
zěn me shuō ne ， dà gài jiù xiàng yī zhī wēn shùn de mián yáng ， què bèi yī qún è láng gěi dīng zhù 。
怎么说呢，大概就像一只温顺的绵羊，却被一群恶狼给盯住。
At least that’s how Yun Ruo Yan felt right now.
zhì shǎo yún ruò yán cǐ kè xīn zhōng de gǎn shòu shì zhè yàng de 。
至少云若颜此刻心中的感受是这样的。
While those merely expressing surprise were understandable, some old monsters, in their astonishment, also revealed a hint of jealousy.
nà xiē jǐn jǐn shì chà yì jīng qí de hái hǎo shuō ， yǒu yī xiē dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， zài jīng è zhī yú ， yě liú lù chū jǐ fēn jí dù 。
那些仅仅是诧异惊奇的还好说，有一些渡劫期老怪物，在惊愕之余，也流露出几分嫉妒。
Yes, it was jealousy.
méi cuò jiù shì jí dù 。
没错就是嫉妒。
And this jealousy naturally came with some hostility.
ér zhè zhǒng jí dù ， huò duō huò shǎo ， zì rán yě huì yǒu yī xiē dí yì bāo hán zài lǐ tou 。
而这种嫉妒，或多或少，自然也会有一些敌意包含在里头。
Even at such an event, they couldn’t release their spiritual pressure. The feeling of being locked onto by a separation spirit period (Divine Spirit Stage) cultivator was not pleasant.
jí biàn zài zhè zhǒng chǎng hé ， bù biàn jiāng líng yā sàn fà ér chū ， dàn yī fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， bèi dù jié qī cún zài suǒ dìng de zī wèi ér ， nà yě bù hǎo guò 。
即便在这种场合，不便将灵压散发而出，但一分神期修仙者，被渡劫期存在锁定的滋味儿，那也不好过。
What was even more terrifying was that multiple old monsters were locking them down.
zuì kě pà de shì suǒ dìng tā men de ， hái bù zhǐ yí gè 。
最可怕的是锁定他们的，还不止一个。
Yun Ruo Yan trembled in fear as she thought through the situation. She realized why so many old monsters had such hostility towards them—it was all because Nael Dragon personally greeted them, drawing too much attention.
yún ruò yán shèn zhì hài pà dé hún shēn fā dǒu tā zài chà yì zhī yú ， shāo yī sī suǒ ， yě jiù míng bái wèi shén me nà me duō lǎo guài wù ， huì duì tā men yǒu dí yì le 。
云若颜甚至害怕得浑身发抖她在诧异之余，稍一思索，也就明白为什么那么多老怪物，会对他们有敌意了。
---
dōu shì nài lóng zhēn rén qīn yíng rě de huò ， zhè shí zài tài xī yǐn rén de mù guāng le 。
都是鼐龙真人亲迎惹的祸，这实在太吸引人的目光了。
Damn it!
gāi sǐ ！
该死！
She wanted to say that Nael Dragon personally greeting her had nothing to do with her; Lin Xuan was the main figure, and she just happened to be along for the ride. But after thinking about it, she didn’t dare speak up because she feared offending Lin Xuan.
tā hěn xiǎng shuō ， nài lóng zhēn rén qīn zì yíng jiē ， yǔ zì jǐ méi yǒu guān xì ， lín xuān cái shì zhèng zhǔ ér ， zì jǐ zhǐ bù guò shì pèng qiǎo tóng lù ， suǒ yǐ chéng mén shī huǒ bèi yāng jí chí yú le 。
她很想说，鼐龙真人亲自迎接，与自己没有关系，林轩才是正主儿，自己只不过是碰巧同路，所以城门失火被殃及池鱼了。
Little Lin wasn't someone to mess with. She had already seen his remarkable abilities on their journey, but now she realized that was only a fraction of what he could do.
rán ér nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， tā zuì zhōng hái shì méi yǒu kāi kǒu ， yīn wèi pà nà yàng shuō ， huì jiāng lín xuān gěi dé zuì le 。
然而脑海中念头转过，她最终还是没有开口，因为怕那样说，会将林轩给得罪了。
His strength was deep and unfathomable. Such formidable enemies should be avoided if possible.
lín xiǎo zi kě bù hǎo rě ， yī lù shàng yǐ jiàn shí le tā de bù fán zhī chù kě xiàn zài cái xiǎo de ， nà jǐn jǐn shì cāng hǎi yī sù 。
林小子可不好惹，一路上已见识了他的不凡之处可现在才晓得，那仅仅是沧海一粟。
So, the words she wanted to say remained unspoken.
zhè xiǎo zi de shí lì shēn bú jiàn dǐ ， zhè yàng de qiáng dí ， néng bù zhāo rě ， jǐn liàng shì bú yào zhāo rě dì 。
这小子的实力深不见底，这样的强敌，能不招惹，尽量是不要招惹地。
Speaking of which, they weren’t alone in this awkward situation. How was Lin Xuan handling it?
suǒ yǐ ， tā dào le zuǐ biān de yán yǔ ， zuì hòu yòu yàn le xià qù 。
所以，她到了嘴边的言语，最后又咽了下去。
Yun Ruo Yan couldn’t help but secretly turn her head and glance at Lin Dong beside her with the corner of her eye.
duì le ， xiàn zài chǔ yú zhè gān gà jìng dì de ， kě bù zhǐ zì jǐ yí gè ， lín xiǎo zi zuò wéi shǐ zuò yǒng zhě ， xiàn zài yòu zěn me yàng ne ？
对了，现在处于这尴尬境地的，可不止自己一个，林小子作为始作俑者，现在又怎么样呢？
What a shock! Lin Xuan didn't seem the least bit uncomfortable or uneasy; he was chatting amicably with Nael Dragon, his demeanor exuding great composure.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， ruò yán xiān zi rěn bú zhù qiāo qiāo zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， yòng yǎn jiǎo de yú guāng ， kàn le yī yǎn páng biān de lín dōng
脑海中念头转过，若颜仙子忍不住悄悄转过头颅，用眼角的余光，看了一眼旁边的林东
Yun Ruo Yan could only admire him.
zhè yī kàn ， què shì zhèn hàn dào jí chù ， lín xuān nǎ yǒu gǎn jué dào bàn fēn jú cù yǔ bù tuǒ ， zhèng mǎn miàn chūn fēng de yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén tán tiān shuō dì ， shén sè nà jiào yí gè cóng róng yǐ jí 。
这一看，却是震撼到极处，林轩哪有感觉到半分局促与不妥，正满面春风的与鼐龙真人谈天说地，神色那叫一个从容以极。
After all, she received just as much attention as he did. How could he not feel any discomfort being locked onto by so many old monsters of the劫雷 period (Thunderbolt Tribulation Stage)?
ruò yán xiān zi chú le pèi fú hái shì pèi fú 。
若颜仙子除了佩服还是佩服。
This was far from a separation spirit period (Divine Spirit Stage) cultivator's expected behavior. In Lin Xuan’s eyes, Nael Dragon wasn’t just mysterious; he was something more.
yào xiǎo de ， lín xuān cǐ kè shòu dào de guān zhù ， nà kě shì yì diǎn yě bù bǐ zì jǐ shǎo le 。
要晓得，林轩此刻受到的关注，那可是一点也不比自己少了。
Yun Ruo Yan didn't know that while Lin Xuan was chatting with Nael Dragon, his heart was filled with frustration.
bèi zhè me duō dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù suǒ dìng guān zhù ， tā jū rán méi yǒu gǎn jué dào rèn hé bù shì me ？
被这么多渡劫级别的老怪物锁定关注，他居然没有感觉到任何不适么？
Lin Xuan valued subtlety, but this attention from the old monsters of the劫雷 period (Thunderbolt Tribulation Stage) couldn't be ignored. He inwardly fumed.
zhè nǎ shì yī fēn shén qī xiū shì gāi yǒu de biǎo xiàn ， cǐ kè lín xuān zài tā de xīn mù zhōng ， qǐ shì yí gè mí zì néng gòu xíng róng 。
这哪是一分神期修士该有的表现，此刻林轩在他的心目中，岂是一个谜字能够形容。
With his intelligence and experience, he knew that all this attention stemmed from Nael Dragon personally greeting him.
yún ruò yán nǎ lǐ xiǎo de ， lín xuān cǐ kè shì yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén zài tán xiào fēng shēng méi cuò ， rán ér xīn zhōng de yù mèn ， yǔ tā xiāng bǐ ， què shì bú huì shǎo shàng bàn diǎn de 。
云若颜哪里晓得，林轩此刻是与鼐龙真人在谈笑风生没错，然而心中的郁闷，与她相比，却是不会少上半点的。
Judging by their demeanor, Nael Dragon might not have come out when they arrived.
dī diào shì lín xuān de yuán zé ， rán ér cǐ kè què yǐn qǐ zhè me duō dù jié qī lǎo guài wù de zài yì guān zhù ， lín xuān zěn me kě néng yì diǎn dōu bù zài hū 。
低调是林轩的原则，然而此刻却引起这么多渡劫期老怪物的在意关注，林轩怎么可能一点都不在乎。
How despicable of Nael Dragon to make her the center of attention!
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā zhèng duì nài lóng zhēn rén fù fěi bù yǐ 。
此时此刻，他正对鼐龙真人腹诽不已。
She had traveled a long way just to attend his wedding ceremony. How did she end up in such a predicament?
yǐ lín xuān de cōng míng yǐ jí jīng yàn fēng fù ， kàn jiàn yǎn qián zhè yí mù ， nǎ lǐ bù xiǎo de ， zhè suǒ yǒu de guān zhù ， dōu shì yīn wèi nài lóng zhēn rén qīn zì qián lái yíng jiē zì jǐ yǐn qǐ de 。
以林轩的聪明以及经验丰富，看见眼前这一幕，哪里不晓得，这所有的关注，都是因为鼐龙真人亲自前来迎接自己引起的。
When had she offended him?
kàn zhè jià shì ， nà xiē lǎo guài wù lái de shí hòu ， nài lóng zhēn rén wèi bì chū lái le 。
看这架势，那些老怪物来的时候，鼐龙真人未必出来了。
Lin Xuan was vexed but then realized that Nael Dragon might not have intended it.
kě wù ， nài lóng zhēn rén zhè me zuò ， bù děng yú shì gù yì ràng zì jǐ chéng wéi zhòng shǐ zhī dì me ？
可恶，鼐龙真人这么做，不等于是故意让自己成为众矢之的么？
After all, with his strength, if he really wanted to deal with her, there would be no need for any covert schemes.
zì jǐ xīn xīn kǔ kǔ ， yuè guò qiān shān wàn shuǐ lái cān jiā tā de hūn lǐ ， zěn me què luò de zhè me yí gè jié guǒ ？
自己辛辛苦苦，越过千山万水来参加他的婚礼，怎么却落得这么一个结果？
Sending out an avatar could easily eliminate her. After witnessing the power of Fairy Hundred Flowers, Lin Xuan had no doubts about this.
zì jǐ shén me shí hòu dé zuì tā le ？
自己什么时候得罪他了？
Therefore, Nael Dragon wasn’t intentionally plotting against him.
lín xuān jiǎo mèn bù yǐ 。
林轩角闷不已。
Because it wasn't necessary.
dàn zǐ xì yī xiǎng ， què yòu jué de nài lóng zhēn rén wèi bì shì gù yì 。
但仔细一想，却又觉得鼐龙真人未必是故意。
If his guess was correct, Nael Dragon likely valued him enough to come personally.
bì jìng yǐ tā de shí lì ， rú guǒ zhēn yào duì fù zì jǐ ， gēn běn méi yǒu bì yào wán shén me yīn móu guǐ jì 。
毕竟以他的实力，如果真要对付自己，根本没有必要玩什么阴谋诡计。
As for the consequences… Nael Dragon probably hadn’t considered them. At that level of strength, he didn’t need any reservations.
suí biàn pài yī huà shēn chū lái ， yě néng jiāng zì jǐ miè chú ， lín xuān zài jiàn shí bǎi huā xiān zi de qiáng dà hòu ， duì yú zhè yì diǎn ， háo wú huái yí 。
随便派一化身出来，也能将自己灭除，林轩在见识百花仙子的强大后，对于这一点，毫无怀疑。
Even if the sky fell, he could handle it. So, Nael Dragon had long been accustomed to acting on impulse.
suǒ yǐ ， nài lóng zhēn rén yīng gāi bú shì gù yì suàn jì zì jǐ 。
所以，鼐龙真人应该不是故意算计自己。
Lin Xuan’s intelligence was evident; his guess was close to the truth but not entirely accurate.
yīn wèi méi yǒu bì yào nà me zuò 。
因为没有必要那么做。
However, while Nael Dragon’s impulsive actions were fine for him, they left Lin Xuan in a dire situation.
ruò zì jǐ méi yǒu liào cuò ， tā duō bàn zhēn shì kàn zhòng zì jǐ ， suǒ yǐ cái qīn zì chū lái le 。
若自己没有料错，他多半真是看重自己，所以才亲自出来了。
The center of all attention!
zhì yú hòu guǒ ……， nài lóng duō bàn méi yǒu xiǎng guò ， bì jìng shí lì dào le tā nà ge děng jí ， zuò shì qíng nán dào hái xū yào yǒu shén me gù lǜ 。
至于后果……，鼐龙多半没有想过，毕竟实力到了他那个等级，做事情难道还需要有什么顾虑。
Normally, with his strength, he wouldn’t care about ordinary cultivators. But who were these opponents? Old monsters of the劫雷 period (Thunderbolt Tribulation Stage)! And there were more than just one or two; over a hundred were present.
jiù suàn tiān tā xià lái ， tā yě néng dǐng zhù ， suǒ yǐ ， nài lóng zhēn rén zǎo jiù xí guàn shuài xìng ér wèi le 。
就算天塌下来，他也能顶住，所以，鼐龙真人早就习惯率性而为了。
Lin Xuan’s current state was indeed a mix of wanting to weep but unable to do so.
lín xuān de cōng míng bú yòng shuō ， zhè fān cāi cè ， suī rán bù néng shuō wán quán zhōng le ， dàn yě fēi cháng jiē jìn zhēn xiàng le 。
林轩的聪明不用说，这番猜测，虽然不能说完全中了，但也非常接近真相了。
But what could he do now?
rán ér tā zhè yī shuài xìng ér wèi méi yǒu guān xì ， què jiāng zì jǐ hái dé gòu cǎn dì 。
然而他这一率性而为没有关系，却将自己还得够惨地。
Ask Nael Dragon to explain everything to everyone?
zhòng shǐ zhī dì ！
众矢之的！
Given Nael Dragon's personality, it wouldn’t be possible. Besides, they weren't very close, so how could he have any grounds to make such a request?
yuán běn yǐ lín xuān de shí lì ， ruò shì yì bān de xiū xiān zhě ， tā yě bù zài hū 。
原本以林轩的实力，若是一般的修仙者，他也不在乎。
That was unreliable.
kě duì fāng shì shén me ， dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ！
可对方是什么，渡劫期老怪物！
Even if he tried explaining, the others wouldn’t believe him.
ér qiě hái bú shì yí gè liǎng gè ， zài chǎng de ， zú yǒu bǎi rén zhī duō 。
而且还不是一个两个，在场的，足有百人之多。
What would Nael Dragon say?
lín xuān cǐ kè de xīn qíng ， shuō yù kū wú lèi ， nà shì yì diǎn yě méi yǒu cuò 。
林轩此刻的心情，说欲哭无泪，那是一点也没有错。
He might claim that their first meeting went well and they talked animatedly, which is why he personally greeted Lin Xuan for this dual cultivation ceremony.
While Lin Xuan was surprised, the old monsters of the劫雷 period (Thunderbolt Tribulation Stage) on the scene couldn't help but murmur to themselves.
The individuals who could make Daoist Nael Dragon personally greet them were undoubtedly not ordinary. Who would have thought that bringing back two separation spirit period (Divine Spirit Stage) youngsters was the result?
This was far from what everyone had expected.
"Hey, I didn’t see it wrong, did I!" exclaimed an old man with a youthful appearance and white hair.
