bsp; 然而这只是指灵界的各小界面而已，若想去魔界、yīn司界，光凭破碎虚空的能力则太薄弱了些。レレ
However, this only referred to the minor interfaces of the Spirit Realm. If one wanted to go to the Demon Realm or Yinshi Realm, relying solely on the ability to tear through the void would be too weak.
dà jiè miàn zhī jiān de fǎ zé zhī lì kě pà wú bǐ ， xiǎng yào chuān xíng ， lín xuān hái wèi yǒu zhè yàng de néng lì 。
大界面之间的法则之力可怕无比，想要穿行，林轩还未有这样的能力。
The power of the laws between major interfaces was terrifyingly immense. Lin Xuan had yet to develop such a capability if he wished to traverse them.
chú fēi yǒu cháo yī rì， tā jìn jiē dào dù jié hòu qī ， chéng wéi yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén ， bǎi huā xiān zi pì měi de qiáng zhě ， cái yǒu kě néng tú shǒu jiāng xū kōng sī pò 。
除非有朝一rì，他进阶到渡劫后期，成为与鼐龙真人，百花仙子媲美的强者，才有可能徒手将虚空撕破。
Unless he could advance to late-stage Tribulation Transcendence one day and become a powerhouse comparable to Sovereign Dragon True Man and Fairy Hundred Flowers, it would be possible for him to tear through the void with his bare hands.
dāng rán ， yě bú shì shuō ， lín xuān xiàn zài xiǎng qù yīn sī jiè jiù méi yǒu bàn fǎ le 。
当然，也不是说，林轩现在想去yīn司界就没有办法了。
Of course, this did not mean that Lin Xuan had no way of going to the Yinshi Realm now.
zhǐ bù guò xiāng duì ér yán ， yào má fán yī xiē ， xū jiè zhù wài lì 。
只不过相对而言，要麻烦一些，需借助外力。
It was just more troublesome, requiring external assistance. For instance, finding the nodes where major interfaces were connected. The interface power there would be weaker, and even Lin Xuan himself could tear through it at present.
bǐ rú shuō ， zhǎo dào gè dà jiè miàn xiàng lián de jié diǎn ， nà ér de jiè miàn zhī lì jiào ruò ， jí biàn xiàn zài de lín xuān yě néng jiāng qí sī pò ， zhè yàng jiù néng pò suì xū kōng le 。
比如说，找到各大界面相连的节点，那儿的界面之力较弱，即便现在的林轩也能将其撕破，这样就能破碎虚空了。
Indeed, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack but finally finding it without much effort.
zhēn shì tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù ， dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu 。
真是踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫。
With an understanding of the entire situation, even with his deep-seated composure, Lin Xuan couldn't help showing intense joy on his face.
liǎo jiě liǎo shì qíng de shǐ mò ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， liǎn shàng yì lù chū kuáng xǐ zhī sè。 . .
了解了事情的始末，即便以林轩的城府，脸上亦露出狂喜之sè。 . .
How could he not be happy? After enduring countless hardships, he had finally advanced to the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
tā néng bù gāo xìng me ， lì jīng qiān xīn wàn kǔ ， zhōng yú jìn jí chéng le dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù 。
他能不高兴么，历经千辛万苦，终于晋级成了渡劫级别的老怪物。
It was indeed a case of hard work paying off.
shuō kǔ jìn gān lái yě bù wèi guò 。
说苦尽甘来也不为过。
Lin Xuan's current strength, while he wouldn’t claim to conquer all with ease, allowed him to go anywhere in the world. Therefore, he wanted to investigate clues about Yue'er.
lín xuān xiàn zài de shí lì ， suī rán bù gǎn shuō zòng héng wú dí ， dàn yě tiān xià jǐn kě qù dé ， suǒ yǐ tā xiǎng yào dǎ tàn yuè ér de xiàn suǒ 。
林轩现在的实力，虽然不敢说纵横无敌，但也天下尽可去得，所以他想要打探月儿的线索。
A thousand years had passed since they last parted ways. He wondered if she was well now.
yī bié qiān nián ， bù zhī dào yuè ér xiàn zài guò dé hǎo me 。
一别千年，不知道月儿现在过得好么。
He missed her deeply.
lín xuān xiǎng tā le 。
林轩想她了。
Recalling their journey up to the Spirit Realm together, during the ascension process, everything seemed fine, yet Yue'er inexplicably vanished.
yáo xiǎng dāng chū ， liǎng rén shì yì qǐ fēi shēng dào líng jiè lái de 。
遥想当初，两人是一起飞升到灵界来的。
Lin Xuan had searched for her tirelessly but found no trace of her.
fēi shēng de guò chéng zhōng ， míng míng yě méi yǒu chū chā cuò ， kě yuè ér què mò míng qí miào de bú jiàn le 。
飞升的过程中，明明也没有出差错，可月儿却莫名其妙的不见了。
Time in cultivation passed like a flash. A thousand years had gone by in an instant.
lín xuān yě céng jīng kǔ kǔ xún zhǎo guò 。
林轩也曾经苦苦寻找过。
His heart remained warm as he sought his beloved wife, but where was she?
kě gēn běn jiù méi yǒu yī sī yī háo de xiàn suǒ 。
可根本就没有一丝一毫的线索。
Previously, the vastness of the Spirit Realm made it understandable that they couldn’t meet easily.
xiū xiān wú suì yuè ， yī zhuǎn yǎn ， qiān nián de suì yuè jiù liú shì le 。
修仙无岁月，一转眼，千年的岁月就流逝了。
But now, although still at early-stage Tribulation Transcendence, his series of experiences were certainly earth-shaking. While fame reaching across the land might be too much to claim, he had gained considerable renown among high-ranking cultivators.
lín xuān xún zhǎo ài qī de xīn ， cóng lái jiù méi yǒu lěng guò ， kě tā huì zài nà lǐ ne ？
林轩寻找爱妻的心，从来就没有冷过，可她会在那里呢？
Moreover, this fame extended beyond Sovereign Dragon Realm; Lin Xuan believed that most high-ranking cultivators in hundreds of minor interfaces within the Spirit Realm had heard of his name.
yǐ qián bù shuō ， líng jiè miàn jī guǎng bó ， liǎng rén nán yǐ xiāng féng ， yě shì qíng lǐ zhī zhōng 。
以前不说，灵界面积广博，两人难以相逢，也是情理之中。
If Yue'er was also searching for clues about him, she wouldn’t have remained in the Mortal Realm.
kě xiàn zài bù tóng ， zì jǐ suī rán hái zhǐ shì dù jié chū qī ， dàn yī lián chuàn de jīng lì 。 jué duì shuō dé shàng shì jīng tiān dòng dì 。 shuō míng mǎn tiān xià yǒu xiē tài guò ， dàn zài gāo jiē xiū shì zhōng ， jué de shì míng qì bù xiǎo le 。
可现在不同，自己虽然还只是渡劫初期，但一连串的经历。绝对说得上是惊天动地。说名满天下有些太过，但在高阶修士中，觉得是名气不小了。
So, based on this, Lin Xuan could make a bold assumption: during their ascension, something he hadn't noticed must have happened. Yue'er didn’t come to the Spirit Realm with him at all.
ér qiě zhè míng qì ， jué bù jǐn jǐn jú xiàn yú nài lóng jiè de ， lín xuān xiāng xìn líng jiè shù bǎi gè xiǎo jiè miàn ， jué dà bù fèn gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě ， huò duō huò shǎo dōu tīng shuō guò zì jǐ de wēi míng le 。
而且这名气，绝不仅仅局限于鼐龙界的，林轩相信灵界数百个小界面，绝大部分高阶修仙者，或多或少都听说过自己的威名了。
Where would the little girl be?
yuè ér ruò yě zài xún zhǎo zì jǐ de xiàn suǒ 。 shēn zài líng jiè de tā bù kě néng méi yǒu bàn diǎn shōu huò 。
月儿若也在寻找自己的线索。身在灵界的她不可能没有半点收获。
Had she failed and stayed in the Mortal Realm?
nà me ， jī yú cǐ ， lín xuān kě yǐ zuò chū yí gè dà dǎn de jiǎ shè 。
那么，基于此，林轩可以做出一个大胆的假设。
If it were any other time, Lin Xuan might have had such doubts, but after advancing through the Profound Abyss stage, he once returned to the Mortal Realm by chance.
dāng chū fēi shēng ， yí dìng shì chū le zì jǐ méi yǒu chá jué dào de biàn gù 。
当初飞升，一定是出了自己没有察觉到的变故。
That was when a major calamity struck the Mortal Realm, with ancient demons descending upon it.
yuè ér gēn běn jiù méi yǒu suí zì jǐ yì qǐ lái líng jiè de 。
月儿根本就没有随自己一起来灵界的。
Lin Xuan turned the tide of that battle and even severed a fragment of Ice Soul’s spirit essence, thus forming a karmic connection with her.
nà me ， xiǎo yā tou huì zài nǎ ér ne ？
那么，小丫头会在哪儿呢？
Lin Xuan had inquired from Ying'er and Liu Xin. Since his ascension, there was no trace of Yue'er appearing in the Mortal Realm.
fēi shēng shī bài ， yī jiù zhì liú yú rén jiè zhī zhōng ？
飞升失败，依旧滞留于人界之中？
In other words, although she might have made a mistake during her ascension, she definitely hadn’t stayed behind in the Mortal Realm.
ruò shì yǐ qián 。 lín xuān huò xǔ huì yǒu zhè yàng de yí huò ， dàn tā zài jìn jiē dòng xuán yǐ hòu ， céng jī yuán qiǎo hé ， chóng xīn huí dào guò rén jiè yī cì de 。
若是以前。林轩或许会有这样的疑惑，但他在进阶洞玄以后，曾机缘巧合，重新回到过人界一次的。
So, only two options remained: the Demon Realm or Yinshi Realm.
ér qiě qià hǎo shì rén jiè dà jié jiàng luò ， bǎi wàn gǔ mó lái dào rén jiè zhī zhōng 。
而且恰好是人界大劫降落，百万古魔来到人界之中。
He had been to the Demon Realm before.
lín xuān lì wǎn kuáng lán ， yě shì nà yī zhàn ， jiāng bīng pò de yī lǚ fēn shén zhǎn chú ， cóng ér yǔ tā jié xià yīn guǒ 。
林轩力挽狂澜，也是那一战，将冰魄的一缕分神斩除，从而与她结下因果。
At that time, he sought opportunities for tribulation spirit refinement but also looked into clues about Yue'er, finding nothing.
lín xuān céng xiàng yíng ér 。 liú xīn dǎ tīng guò 。 zì cóng zì jǐ fēi shēng yǐ hòu ， rén jiè jué duì méi yǒu chū xiàn yuè ér de fāng zōng 。
林轩曾像盈儿。刘芯打听过。自从自己飞升以后，人界绝对没有出现月儿的芳踪。
Although the Demon Realm was vast and not inferior to the Spirit Realm in size, from a logical standpoint, Lin Xuan felt that Yue'er’s chances of going there were slim.
huàn jù huà shuō 。 tā fēi shēng de shí hòu suī rán chū le chā cuò ， dàn yě jué méi yǒu zhì liú yú rén jiè de 。
换句话说。她飞升的时候虽然出了差错，但也绝没有滞留于人界的。
Everything has its cause and effect. If Yue'er had no connection with ancient demons, why would she ascend to the Demon Realm?
nà me jiù zhǐ shèng xià liǎng gè xuǎn zé ， mó jiè huò zhě shì yīn sī jiè le 。
那么就只剩下两个选择，魔界或者是yīn司界了。
This possibility seemed too small; it was negligible enough not to consider it.
mó jiè ， zì jǐ yě qù guò 。
魔界，自己也去过。
Thus, only one option remained: Yue'er had wandered into the Yinshi Realm.
nà shí hòu ， suī rán shì wèi le xún zhǎo jìn jiē fēn shén de jī yuán ， dàn tóng yàng liú yì dǎ tàn le yuè ér de xiàn suǒ ， yī jiù yī wú suǒ huò 。
那时候，虽然是为了寻找进阶分神的机缘，但同样留意打探了月儿的线索，依旧一无所获。
After all, her past life was significant—she was the ruler of the Yinshi Realm, Arhats.
suī shuō mó jiè miàn jī guǎng bó ， bǐ zhī líng jiè yì bù xùn sè， dàn cóng cháng lǐ fēn xī ， lín xuān yě jué de yuè ér qù mó jiè de xī wàng shí zài tài xiǎo le 。
虽说魔界面积广博，比之灵界亦不逊sè，但从常理分析，林轩也觉得月儿去魔界的希望实在太小了。
Arhat King was a prodigy with unmatched talent and strength surpassing even true immortals. Although she had to reincarnate due to certain circumstances, she left behind many legacies.
fán shì yǒu yīn jiù yǒu guǒ ， dào guò lái yě yī yàng de ， yuè ér yǔ gǔ mó méi yǒu shén me qiān chě ， hǎo duān duān de zhè me huì fēi shēng qù mó jiè ne ？
凡事有因就有果，倒过来也一样的，月儿与古魔没有什么牵扯，好端端的这么会飞升去魔界呢？
As Yue'er’s reincarnation, her arrival in the Yinshi Realm during ascension seemed reasonable; it fit logically.
zhè kě néng xìng tài xiǎo le ， bù shuō yì diǎn méi yǒu ， dàn hū lüè bù jì yě méi yǒu shén me cuò 。
这可能xìng太小了，不说一点没有，但忽略不计也没有什么错。
Lin Xuan had long considered all possible scenarios. To reunite with Yue'er, he naturally needed to search for her in the Yinshi Realm.
yú shì ， jiù zhǐ shèng xià yī zhǒng kě néng le 。
于是，就只剩下一种可能了。
However, talking was easy, but actually doing so presented significant challenges. Although he had advanced to Tribulation Transcendence stage, he still lacked the ability to tear through the space between major interfaces.
yuè ér liú luò dào yīn sī jiè le 。
月儿流落到yīn司界了。
Thus, finding a node became the only option.
yào zhī dào ， zhè yā tou de qián shì ， kě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lái shì yīn sī zhī zhǔ ， ā xiū luó 。
要知道，这丫头的前世，可是非同小可，来是yīn司之主，阿修罗。
Lin Xuan had already instructed his disciples to secretly search for it.
ā xiū luó wáng jīng cái jué yàn ， shí lì gèng shèng zhēn xiān ， suī rán yīn wèi mǒu xiē yuán gù ， bù dé bù zhuǎn shì tóu tāi le ， dàn yī jiù liú xià le zhū duō hòu zhe 。
阿修罗王惊才绝艳，实力更胜真仙，虽然因为某些缘故，不得不转世投胎了，但依旧留下了诸多后着。
He didn’t want to draw too much attention so as not to fall into others’ traps. He was now a prominent figure, and searching for Yue'er was of utmost importance; Lin Xuan didn’t want any enemies to spot any weaknesses that could be exploited.
yuè ér zuò wèi tā de zhuǎn shì ， zài fēi shēng de shí hòu lái dào yīn sī ， cóng dào lǐ lái shuō ， sì hū jīng dé qǐ tuī cè ， kě yǐ shuō shì hé qíng hé lǐ de 。
月儿做为她的转世，在飞升的时候来到yīn司，从道理来说，似乎经得起推测，可以说是合情合理的。
Although he searched carefully, the Cloud Conceal Sect had changed significantly since then, ranking first among forces in the Sovereign Dragon Realm.
zhè zhōng jiān de gè zhǒng kě néng xìng， lín xuān zǎo yǐ xiǎng qīng chǔ ， tā xiǎng yào yǔ yuè ér chóng féng ， zì rán zhǐ yǒu qù yīn sī jiè xún zhǎo tā de fāng zōng 。
这中间的各种可能xìng，林轩早已想清楚，他想要与月儿重逢，自然只有去yīn司界寻找她的芳踪。
With his ancestor’s edict, his disciples dared not slack off. However, after so many years, there was still no good news.
kě shuō shuō róng yì ， zhēn yào zuò ， què miàn lín zhe hěn dà de nán tí ， zì jǐ suī rán yǐ jīng jìn jiē dù qī ， què yī jiù méi yǒu pò kāi liǎng dà jiè miàn kōng jiān fǎ zé de néng lì 。
可说说容易，真要做，却面临着很大的难题，自己虽然已经进阶渡期，却依旧没有破开两大界面空间法则的能力。
Space nodes were rare and sometimes even vanished on their own. The vastness of the Spirit Realm made finding them exceedingly difficult.
yú shì ， xún zhǎo jié diǎn jiù chéng le wéi yī de xuǎn zé 。
于是，寻找节点就成了唯一的选择。
Lin Xuan had been troubled by this for a long time.
lín xuān yǐ fēn fù běn mén dì zǐ àn zhōng qù zuò 。
林轩已吩咐本门弟子暗中去做。
Unexpectedly, he found himself here, making his luck truly remarkable.
tā méi yǒu dà zhāng qí gǔ ， yǐ miǎn luò jìn yǒu xīn rén de yǎn zhōng ， zì jǐ rú jīn shì shù dà zhāo fēng ， xún zhǎo yuè ér gèng shì zhòng zhōng zhī zhòng ， lín xuān kě bù xiǎng bèi dí rén kàn chū shén me pò zhàn yǐ lì yòng 。
他没有大张旗鼓，以免落进有心人的眼中，自己如今是树大招风，寻找月儿更是重中之重，林轩可不想被敌人看出什么破绽以利用。
"Are you saying that there is a hidden space node here?" Lin Xuan’s voice revealed a hint of excitement despite his composure.
suī rán shì xiǎo xīn xún zhǎo ， rán ér yún yǐn zōng jīn fēi xī bǐ ， nǎi shì nài lóng jiè pái míng dì yī de shì lì 。
虽然是小心寻找，然而云隐宗今非昔比，乃是鼐龙界排名第一的势力。
He was also puzzled; a thousand years ago, when he sought refuge from misfortune, he had lived here for some time and found no unusual places. This meant the path to the Yinshi Realm must have formed later.
lín xuān zhè wèi lǎo zǔ chuán xià fǎ yù ， xià miàn de dì zǐ gǎn bù yòng lì ， rán ér zhè me jiǔ de suì yuè guò qù ， yī jiù méi yǒu shén me hǎo xiāo xī 。
林轩这位老祖传下法谕，下面的弟子敢不用力，然而这么久的岁月过去，依旧没有什么好消息。
Could it be that the Ye family abandoned their main base due to this reason? Yes, such an explanation was plausible.
kōng jiān jié diǎn ， yuán běn jiù shù liàng bù duō ， yǒu de shèn zhì huì zì jǐ yǐn méi ， líng jiè miàn jī guǎng bó ， xiǎng yào zhǎo dào ， nǎ ér shì nà me róng yì de 。
空间节点，原本就数量不多，有的甚至会自己隐没，灵界面积广博，想要找到，哪儿是那么容易的。
If there were a node leading to the Yinshi Realm here, coincidentally, powerful demons or ghosts might visit this place. The Fugui Sect, being a sect of the ghost path, wouldn’t fear them; for them, it could be a great opportunity.
lín xuān wèi zhè ge wèn tí ， yě shì fán nǎo hǎo jiǔ le 。
林轩为这个问题，也是烦恼好久了。
However, the Ye family was different; they had no connection with the ghost path. If a powerful demon appeared at their main base, that would bring more harm than good.
méi xiǎng dào què yì wài zài zhè lǐ xiāng féng ， tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù ， dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu ， zì jǐ de yùn qì ， dàng zhēn bù sú 。
没想到却意外在这里相逢，踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫，自己的运气，当真不俗。
Thus, out of necessity, they left.
“ nǐ shì shuō ， zhè ér yǒu yí gè yǐn bì de kōng jiān jié diǎn me ？” yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， shēng yīn dōu tòu chū jǐ fēn jī dòng zhī sè。
“你是说，这儿有一个隐蔽的空间节点么？”以林轩的城府，声音都透出几分激动之sè。
Lin Xuan, being an exceptionally intelligent cultivator, quickly understood the entire situation. Now, all he needed to do was verify his hypothesis.
xīn zhōng yì yǒu xiē yí huò ， qiān nián yǐ qián ， zì jǐ bì huò ， yě céng jīng zài zhè lǐ zhù guò yī duàn shí jiān ， bìng méi yǒu fā xiàn yǒu qí yì zhī chù ， zhè me shuō ， tōng wǎng yīn sī jiè de kōng jiān jié diǎn ， shì suí hòu cái xíng chéng de 。
心中亦有些疑惑，千年以前，自己避祸，也曾经在这里住过一段时间，并没有发现有奇异之处，这么说，通往yīn司界的空间节点，是随后才形成的。
"Can you take me to see this space node leading to the Yinshi Realm?"
nán dào shuō ， yè jiā shì yīn wèi zhè ge yuán gù ， cái fàng qì le zǒng duò ， ń ， zhè yàng jiǎng ， yě shì shuō dé tōng de 。
难道说，叶家是因为这个缘故，才放弃了总舵，嗯，这样讲，也是说得通的。
"Um..."
zhè lǐ ruò yǒu tōng wǎng yīn sī jiè de jié diǎn ， jī yuán qiǎo hé xià ， yī xiē dà yāo guǐ huì lái cǐ chù ， fú guǐ mén yuán běn jiù shì guǐ dào zōng pài ， zì rán bù jù ， duì tā men lái shuō ， shèn zhì kě néng shì yī dà jī yuán 。
这里若有通往yīn司界的节点，机缘巧合下，一些大妖鬼会来此处，符鬼门原本就是鬼道宗派，自然不惧，对他们来说，甚至可能是一大机缘。
The elder’s expression turned hesitant as this item was undoubtedly crucial for their sect. It could even be considered a treasure of the sect. How could they casually show it to outsiders?
rán ér yè jiā bù tóng ， tā men yǔ guǐ dào bù zhān biān ， ruò yǒu dà yāo guǐ chū xiàn zài zǒng duò ， nà kě jiù shì huò fēi fú 。
然而叶家不同，他们与鬼道不沾边，若有大妖鬼出现在总舵，那可就是祸非福。
"You don’t want to show it, right?" Lin Xuan’s expression grew cold.
suǒ yǐ gāi pài wú nài zhī xià ， cái lí kāi le 。
所以该派无奈之下，才离开了。
"No, Senior, you are mistaken. If you wish to see it, I would beg for your grace; how dare we have any disrespectful thoughts?"
lín xuān shì hé děng cōng míng de xiū xiān zhě ， yī shùn jiān xiǎng míng bái liǎo shì qíng de shǐ mò ， rú jīn wéi yī yào zuò de ， jiù shì yàn zhèng zì jǐ de cāi cè 。
林轩是何等聪明的修仙者，一瞬间想明白了事情的始末，如今唯一要做的，就是验证自己的猜测。
PS: A little request for recommendation votes, thank you! The entire book.
However, this only referred to the minor interfaces of the Spirit Realm. If one wanted to go to the Demon Realm or Yinshi Realm, relying solely on the ability to tear through the void would be too weak.
The power of the laws between major interfaces was terrifyingly immense. Lin Xuan had yet to develop such a capability if he wished to traverse them.
Unless he could advance to late-stage Tribulation Transcendence one day and become a powerhouse comparable to Sovereign Dragon True Man and Fairy Hundred Flowers, it would be possible for him to tear through the void with his bare hands.
Of course, this did not mean that Lin Xuan had no way of going to the Yinshi Realm now.
It was just more troublesome, requiring external assistance. For instance, finding the nodes where major interfaces were connected. The interface power there would be weaker, and even Lin Xuan himself could tear through it at present.

He was also puzzled; a thousand years ago, when he sought refuge from misfortune, he had lived here for some time and found no unusual places. This meant the path to the Yinshi Realm must have formed later.
Could it be that the Ye family abandoned their main base due to this reason? Yes, such an explanation was plausible.
If there were a node leading to the Yinshi Realm here, coincidentally, powerful demons or ghosts might visit this place. The Fugui Sect, being a sect of the ghost path, wouldn’t fear them; for them, it could be a great opportunity.
However, the Ye family was different; they had no connection with the ghost path. If a powerful demon appeared at their main base, that would bring more harm than good.
Thus, out of necessity, they left.
Lin Xuan, being an exceptionally intelligent cultivator, quickly understood the entire situation. Now, all he needed to do was verify his hypothesis.
"Can you take me to see this space node leading to the Yinshi Realm?"
"Um..."
The elder’s expression turned hesitant as this item was undoubtedly crucial for their sect. It could even be considered a treasure of the sect. How could they casually show it to outsiders?
"You don’t want to show it, right?" Lin Xuan’s expression grew cold.
"No, Senior, you are mistaken. If you wish to see it, I would beg for your grace; how dare we have any disrespectful thoughts?"
