bsp; “ duō xiè qián bèi dà ēn dà dé ， zhè yī cì ， ruò bú shì qián bèi lì wǎn kuáng lán ， yè jiā kě jiù wàn jié bù fù ……”
bsp; “多谢前辈大恩大德，这一次，若不是前辈力挽狂澜，叶家可就万劫不复……”
"Thank you so much for your great kindness. If not for your efforts, the Ye family would have been utterly destroyed this time..."
yè jiā de dà tīng zhōng ， bīn zhǔ chóng xīn luò zuò ， yè hóng xuě gǎn jī de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
叶家的大厅中，宾主重新落座，叶虹雪感激的声音传入耳朵。
In the grand hall of the Ye family, the guests and hosts took their seats again as Ye Hongxue's grateful voice reached his ears.
“ xiān zi hé bì kè qì ， jǔ shǒu zhī láo ér yǐ ， lín mǒu yǔ yè jiā pǒ yǒu yuān yuán ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， yòu qǐ huì yǒu jiàn sǐ bù jiù zhī lǐ ， shuō xiè zì kě jiù tài jiàn wài le xiē 。”
“仙子何必客气，举手之劳而已，林某与叶家颇有渊源，于情于理，又岂会有见死不救之理，说谢字可就太见外了些。”
"Princess, there's no need to be polite. It was a mere gesture on my part. I have quite some connection with your family, so it would be unreasonable for me not to help in such a situation. Saying thank you is too much."
“ qián bèi yán zhī yǒu lǐ ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， nín de dà ēn ， yè shì dì zǐ ， yǒng yuǎn yě bú huì wàng jì 。”
“前辈言之有理，但不管如何，您的大恩，叶氏弟子，永远也不会忘记。”
"The elder has spoken wisely. Regardless of the circumstances, we will never forget your great kindness."
gōng zhuāng měi fù yī jiù shì mǎn liǎn gǎn jī ， gōng jìng de biǎo qíng fā zì fèi fǔ ， méi yǒu bàn diǎn zuò jiǎ zhī yì 。
宫装美妇依旧是满脸感激，恭敬的表情发自肺腑，没有半点作假之意。
The woman dressed in court attire still wore a grateful expression that came from her heart and showed no signs of pretense.
shuāng fāng yòu hǎo yī fān kè qì ， ér suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， tā tǐ nèi de fǎ lì yě zhú jiàn huī fù ， zhè zì rán shì lín xuān cì xià líng dān miào yào de yuán gù 。
双方又好一番客气，而随着时间的推移，她体内的法力也逐渐恢复，这自然是林轩赐下灵丹妙药的缘故。
After another round of polite exchanges, she gradually recovered her mana as time passed. This was due to Lin Xuan's gift of medicinal pills and elixirs.
qū qū yī dào yù wài tiān mó de mó niàn ér yǐ ， qí shǒu duàn zài pǔ tōng xiū shì yǎn zhōng gù rán liǎo de ， lìng zhòng rén shù shǒu wú cè ， dàn duì lín xuān lái shuō ， què bù zhí yī tí ， xiǎng yào pò jiě ， bìng méi yǒu tài dà de nán dù 。
区区一道域外天魔的魔念而已，其手段在普通修士眼中固然了得，令众人束手无策，但对林轩来说，却不值一提，想要破解，并没有太大的难度。
A mere demon's mental influence might have been formidable to ordinary cultivators, leaving everyone at a loss, but for Lin Xuan, it was nothing significant. He managed to break the spell with ease using just some medicinal pills.
xiē xǔ líng dān ， zú yǐ jiě dú ， hěn qīng sōng jiù ràng yè jiā xiū shì huī fù rú chū 。
些许灵丹，足以解毒，很轻松就让叶家修士恢复如初。
A thousand years had passed since then, and Ye Hongxue was no longer what she used to be. As the head of the Ye family, she had reached the Profound Origin realm.
yī huǎng qiān nián guò qù ， yè hóng xuě jīn fēi xī bǐ ， zuò wèi yè jiā jiā zhǔ ， tā yǐ shì dòng xuán jí bié de cún zài le 。
一晃千年过去，叶虹雪今非昔比，做为叶家家主，她已是洞玄级别的存在了。
With her mana recovered, she naturally released her divine sense over Lin Xuan, but it revealed nothing about his true strength.
suí zhāo fǎ lì huī fù ， zì rán ér rán de jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， zài lín xuān shēn shàng sǎo guò ， què gēn běn kàn bù chū qí shēn qiǎn rú hé 。
随着法力恢复，自然而然的将神识放出，在林轩身上扫过，却根本看不出其深浅如何。
How could this be?
zhè zěn me kě néng ne ？
这怎么可能呢？
Was it possible that Elder Lin has already advanced to the Intermediate Spirit Stage or beyond?
nán dào shuō ， lín qián bèi yǐ shì fēn shén zhōng qī yǐ shàng de xiū xiān zhě 。
难道说，林前辈已是分神中期以上的修仙者。
Just a thousand years! His cultivation speed was truly terrifying.
zhè cái qū qū qiān yú zài ér yǐ ， qí xiū liàn sù dù jū rán rú cǐ kě bù 。
这才区区千余载而已，其修炼速度居然如此可怖。
Ye Hongxue was in awe. He had managed to advance to the Profound Origin realm by sheer chance, having obtained an ancient cultivator's legacy during one of his outings. Otherwise, he would never have been able to break through the barrier from Separation to Profound Origin. The later stages of cultivation were increasingly difficult, and Lin Xuan's speed was simply unbelievable.
yè hóng xuě chú le pèi fú hái shì pèi fú 。
叶虹雪除了佩服还是佩服。
"By the way, where are Ying'er and Xuan'er?"
yào zhī dào tā néng gòu jìn jiē dào dòng xuán qī ， yě shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， zài yī cì wài chū de shí hòu ， yì wài dé dào le gǔ xiū shì de yī bō 。
要知道他能够进阶到洞玄期，也是机缘巧合，在一次外出的时候，意外得到了古修士的衣钵。
Lin Xuan paid no attention to her expression, as his nature did not incline him to guess what she might be thinking. He came here for a specific reason: to find those two girls. He asked straightforwardly.
fǒu zé jué bù kě néng jiāng lí hé dào dòng xuán qī de píng jǐng tū pò 。
否则绝不可能将离合到洞玄期的瓶颈突破。
"They aren't in the family."
ér xiū xiān yuè dào hòu miàn yuè shì jiān sè ， lín qián bèi de xiū liàn sù dù ， wèi miǎn yě tài bù kě sī yì le 。
而修仙越到后面越是艰涩，林前辈的修炼速度，未免也太不可思议了。
"What do you mean they're not in the family?"
“ duì le ， yǐng ér yǔ xuán ér zài hé chù ？”
“对了，颖儿与璇儿在何处？”
"Yes, they went out on a journey of exploration."
jiāng duì fāng de biǎo qíng kàn zài yǎn lǐ ， dàn yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé ， zì rán wú yì qù cāi cè duì fāng zài xiǎng shén me ， tā zhè cì qiān lǐ bēn bō 。 yuán běn jiù shì lái zhǎo liǎng gè yā tou 。 zhí jié liǎo dàng de kāi kǒu 。
将对方的表情看在眼里，但以林轩的xìng格，自然无意去猜测对方在想什么，他这次千里奔波。原本就是来找两个丫头。直截了当的开口。
"Is that so coincidental?"
“ yǐng ér yǔ xuán ér bìng bù zài zú zhōng 。”
“颖儿与璇儿并不在族中。”
Lin Xuan was taken aback but wasn't overly surprised. The Ye family had suffered a great calamity recently, and these two girls had been missing for some time. They wouldn’t just disappear like this.
“ shén me ， bù zài zú zhōng ？”
“什么，不在族中？”
"Indeed, they aren't here."
“ ń ， tā men wài chū yóu lì qù 。”
“嗯，她们外出游历去。”
This confirmed his suspicions, but it brought about complications. He still wanted to find clues about Yue'er, but he didn't have much time to waste here.
“ zhè me qiǎo ？”
“这么巧？”
After a moment's thought, Lin Xuan spoke up: "Do you know any way to contact the two girls and get them to return?"
lín xuān yī dāi ， dàn yě bù suàn tài guò yì wài ， zhè cì yè jiā dà huò ， liǎng gè yā tou què yì zhí zōng jì quán wú ， yǐ tā men de xìng gé 。 yīng gāi shì bú huì rú cǐ de 。
林轩一呆，但也不算太过意外，这次叶家大祸，两个丫头却一直踪迹全无，以她们的xìng格。应该是不会如此的。
"Um..."
“ guǒ rán bù zài me ？”
“果然不在么？”
The woman in court attire showed signs of difficulty on her face. Although they had left some means of communication, finding them within a short period would be challenging given that their destination was unknown.
zhè jiù yìn zhèng le zì jǐ de cāi cè ， zhǐ shì rú cǐ yī lái ， kě jiù yǒu xiē má fán 。
这就印证了自己的猜测，只是如此一来，可就有些麻烦。
Just then, a commotion caught their attention.
zì jǐ hái xiǎng yào xún zhǎo yuè ér de xiàn suǒ ， kě méi yǒu tài duō de shí jiān yì zhí zài zhè lǐ dān gē 。
自己还想要寻找月儿的线索，可没有太多的时间一直在这里耽搁。
Ye Hongxue's delicate brows rose as she looked surprised. The family disciples wouldn’t dare disturb them while they were talking. Could there be an external threat?
lüè yī chén yín ， lín xuān kāi kǒu le ：“ dào yǒu kě yǒu fāng fǎ ， lián xì dào liǎng gè yā tou 。 ràng tā men jǐn zǎo huí lái me 。”
略一沉吟，林轩开口了：“道友可有方法，联系到两个丫头。让他们尽早回来么。”
Her face showed anger at the thought of outsiders mistreating her family. "Please wait here for a moment. I'll see what’s happening."
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
As Ye Hongxue spoke, a young maiden in blue robes burst into the hall.
gōng zhuāng měi fù liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī wéi nán zhī sè， liǎng nǚ wài chū yóu lì ， què yě bìng méi yǒu shuō yào qù nǎ lǐ ， suī rán yě liú xià le yī xiē lián luò fāng shì ， dàn duǎn shí jiān nèi xiǎng yào zhǎo dào bìng bù róng yì 。
宫装美妇脸上露出一丝为难之sè，两女外出游历，却也并没有说要去哪里，虽然也留下了一些联络方式，但短时间内想要找到并不容易。
"Anger? What's the rush? Speak calmly," the woman in court attire said angrily.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yī zhèn xuān huá shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
然而就在这时，一阵喧哗声传入耳朵。
"Yes!"
yè hóng xuě xiù méi wēi tiāo ， liǎn shàng bù yóu de lù chū jǐ fēn è rán zhī sè。
叶虹雪秀眉微挑，脸上不由得露出几分愕然之sè。
The maiden curtsied and was filled with joy: "Master, Miss Ying and Miss Xuan have returned."
zì jǐ yǔ lín qián bèi zài zhè lǐ jiāo tán ， zú nèi de dì zǐ kěn dìng bù gǎn dǎ rǎo 。 tū rán chū xiàn de biàn gù 。 nán bù chéng yòu yǒu wài dí rù qīn me ？
自己与林前辈在这里交谈，族内的弟子肯定不敢打扰。突然出现的变故。难不成又有外敌入侵么？
"What?"
yī niàn zhì cǐ ， tā de liǎn shàng bù yóu de lù chū jǐ fēn nù qì 。 zhēn jiāng yè jiā dàng chéng le ruǎn shì zi ， shéi dōu kě yǐ lái qī fù 。
一念至此，她的脸上不由得露出几分怒气。真将叶家当成了软柿子，谁都可以来欺负。
Ye Hongxue was shocked. Lin Xuan, on the other hand, was overjoyed.
“ qián bèi qǐng shāo zuò ， qiè shēn qù kàn kàn fā shēng le shén me 。”
“前辈请稍坐，妾身去看看发生了什么。”
It really couldn’t be more coincidental; the two girls had just returned to the family at this moment.
yè hóng xuě rú cǐ zhè bān de shuō ， yōu yǎ de zhàn qǐ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， dào zhēn xiǎn lù chū jǐ fēn yī pài zōng zhǔ de qì dù 。
叶虹雪如此这般的说，优雅的站起，此时此刻，倒真显露出几分一派宗主的气度。
After a brief thought, Lin Xuan understood. It wasn't coincidence but that they knew of their family's troubles and came back to help.
rán ér huà yīn wèi luò ，“ pēng ” de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì yī qīng yī shì nǚ ， cóng dà mén kǒu chuǎng rù 。
然而话音未落，“嘭”的一声传入耳朵，却是一青衣侍女，从大门口闯入。
"Quickly bring them in."
gōng zhuāng měi fù bù yóu de dà nù ：“ huāng shén me ， yǒu shén me huà màn màn shuō ， huāng huāng zhāng zhāng de chéng hé tǐ tǒng ？”
宫装美妇不由得大怒：“慌什么，有什么话慢慢说，慌慌张张的成何体统？”
Lin Xuan ordered without hesitation.
“ shì ！”
“是！”
The woman in court attire naturally agreed. The maiden curtsied respectfully and left the hall.
nà qīng yī shì nǚ máng yíng yíng yī fú ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì xǐ sè：“ qǐ bǐng zōng zhǔ ， shì yǐng ér xiǎo jiě yǔ xuán ér xiǎo jiě huí lái le 。”
那青衣侍女忙盈盈一拂，脸上满是喜sè：“启禀宗主，是颖儿小姐与璇儿小姐回来了。”
In no time, laughter echoed as two young and beautiful maidens entered the grand hall.
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
One was tall with a graceful appearance, while the other had a charming smile that seemed ethereal.
rú cǐ jié guǒ ， ràng yè hóng xuě cuò è ， lín xuān què shì dà xǐ guò wàng le 。
如此结果，让叶虹雪错愕，林轩却是大喜过望了。
"Salutations, Master."
hái zhēn shì wú qiǎo bù chéng shū ， liǎng gè yā tou piān piān zài zhè shí hòu huí dào le jiā zú 。
还真是无巧不成书，两个丫头偏偏在这时候回到了家族。
"Salutations, Senior Auntie."
bù guò shāo yī sī suǒ ， lín xuān yě jiù wèi zhī shì rán le ， zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， duō bàn bú shì qiǎo hé ， ér shì liǎng nǚ dé zhī yè jiā yǒu nán ， huí lái xiāng zhù 。
不过稍一思索，林轩也就为之释然了，这样的结果，多半不是巧合，而是两女得知叶家有难，回来相助。
Both maidens curtsied in unison, their faces showing both surprise and joy. They must have heard about their family's rescue from other family members. Reuniting with Lin Xuan was an unexpected delight.
“ kuài ràng tā men jìn lái 。”
“快让她们进来。”
"Do not be so formal; rise up."
lín xuān yuè zǔ dài páo de fēn fù 。
林轩越俎代庖的吩咐。
Lin Xuan smiled as he scanned them. To his surprise, they had also reached the Profound Origin realm, similar to Ye Hongxue’s level. Their cultivation speed was much faster than what he had anticipated.
gōng zhuāng měi fù dāng rán bú huì yǒu yì yì ， qīng yī shào nǚ gōng jìng de tuì le chū qù 。
宫装美妇当然不会有异议，青衣少女恭敬的退了出去。
If his guess was correct, these two girls must have encountered some extraordinary opportunities over the years.
bù xiāo piàn kè ， qīng xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xiāng fēng yì rán ， liǎng wèi nián qīng měi mào de shào nǚ lái dào le dà tīng lǐ miàn 。
不消片刻，轻笑声传入耳朵，香风亦然，两位年轻美貌的少女来到了大厅里面。
While Lin Xuan sized up the maidens, Ye Ying and Zheng Xuan released their divine senses as well. They were deep and unfathomable. Then, a ring that Ye Ying wore suddenly glowed brightly.
zuǒ biān yí gè ， shēn cái gāo tiǎo ， róng yán xiù lì ， yòu biān yí gè ， qiǎo xiào qiàn xī ， hún shēn shàng xià ， dài zhe jǐ fēn kōng líng zhī qì 。
左边一个，身材高挑，容颜秀丽，右边一个，巧笑倩兮，浑身上下，带着几分空灵之气。
"What?"
“ cān jiàn shī fù 。”
“参见师傅。”
Ye Ying was taken aback before her expression changed wildly with disbelief: "Master, you... You have advanced to the Tribulation Transcendence realm."
“ gěi shī bó jiàn lǐ 。”
“给师伯见礼。”
Lin Xuan's name was famous across the land, but it wasn't known by everyone. The ring Ye Ying carried could detect a cultivator’s level, and seeing it made her gasp in shock.
liǎng nǚ yíng yíng yī fú ， dōu shì tóng yàng de dòng zuò ， liǎn shàng yǐ wú bàn fēn jǐn zhāng zhī yì ， dōu shì yòu jīng yòu xǐ 。
两女盈盈一拂，都是同样的动作，脸上已无半分紧张之意，都是又惊又喜。
"What? Senior Auntie is already at the Tribulation Transcendence stage! Sister Ying, are you sure?"
xiǎn rán ， cóng qí tā zú rén de kǒu zhōng ， tā men yǐ zhī dào yè jiā tuō xiǎn de jīng guò ， néng yǔ lín xuān chóng féng ， gèng shì yì wài zhī xǐ 。
显然，从其他族人的口中，她们已知道叶家脱险的经过，能与林轩重逢，更是意外之喜。
Zheng Xuan was equally stunned.
“ bù yòng duō lǐ ， dōu qǐ lái 。”
“不用多礼，都起来。”
Ye Hongxue had been shocked long ago. She had only guessed that Lin Xuan might have advanced to the Intermediate Spirit realm but never imagined he would be so remarkable.
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī xiào yì 。
林轩的嘴角边露出一丝笑意。
Tribulation? Wasn't this the final realm of cultivation?
shén shí sǎo guò ， yì wài de fā xiàn liǎng nǚ de xiū wèi ， yě dōu dào le dòng xuán jí ， yǔ yè hóng xuě xiāng chà fǎng fú ， zhè yàng de xiū liàn sù dù ， kě bǐ zì jǐ yuán xiān yù jì de ， yào kuài shàng xǔ duō 。
神识扫过，意外的发现两女的修为，也都到了洞玄级，与叶虹雪相差仿佛，这样的修炼速度，可比自己原先预计的，要快上许多。
Such a powerful old monster was rare in all three worlds, and Lin Xuan had reached such a level.
rú guǒ méi yǒu liào cuò ， liǎng gè yā tou zhè xiē nián ， duō bàn yě yǒu yī xiē qí yù le 。
如果没有料错，两个丫头这些年，多半也有一些奇遇了。
"Indeed, I managed to advance through sheer chance."
lín xuān zài dǎ liàng liǎng nǚ de tóng shí ， yè yǐng yǔ zhèng xuán tóng yàng jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， shēn bù kě cè ， suí hòu ， yè yǐng dài zhe de yī méi jiè zhǐ tū rán liàng qǐ lái le 。
林轩在打量两女的同时，叶颖与郑璇同样将神识放出，深不可测，随后，叶颖带着的一枚戒指突然亮起来了。
Lin Xuan smiled. There was no need to hide it.
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
"Master has truly advanced. Could you be the Elder Supreme of Cloud Concealment Sect? Your disciple always thought it was just another cultivator with the same name. Is that really you?"
yè yǐng xiān shì yī dāi ， suí hòu biǎo qíng kuáng biàn ， xiù měi de miàn róng shàng ， mǎn shì bù kě sī yì zhī sè：“ shī zūn ， nín …… nín yǐ jìn jiē dào dù jié qī le 。”
叶颖先是一呆，随后表情狂变，秀美的面容上，满是不可思议之sè：“师尊，您……您已进阶到渡劫期了。”
Ye Ying exclaimed in surprise, as Lin Xuan's reputation had been soaring. She and Zheng Xuan had heard some rumors during their travels but never imagined it would be their master.
lín xuān xiàn zài ， míng mǎn tiān xià ， dàn huà shì rú cǐ ， zhēn yào shuō dào rén jǐn jiē zhī de dì bù ， xiǎn rán shì bù kě néng de 。
林轩现在，名满天下，但话是如此，真要说到人尽皆知的地步，显然是不可能的。
PS: This chapter is not written well; my heart is very troubled today because my baby has a severe cough after returning from the hospital this morning. I'm still coughing, and I don't know if it's due to taking her out yesterday. The sound of my baby coughing really hurts, and I can't exaggerate about how much it hurts. Fellow cultivators who have experienced this should understand. I'll go back to the hospital tomorrow morning, but I'm not sure yet. So, I decided to write this chapter tonight. The whole story is complete.
"Thank you so much for your great kindness. If not for your efforts, the Ye family would have been utterly destroyed this time..."
In the grand hall of the Ye family, the guests and hosts took their seats again as Ye Hongxue's grateful voice reached his ears.
"Princess, there's no need to be polite. It was a mere gesture on my part. I have quite some connection with your family, so it would be unreasonable for me not to help in such a situation. Saying thank you is too much."
"The elder has spoken wisely. Regardless of the circumstances, we will never forget your great kindness."
The woman dressed in court attire still wore a grateful expression that came from her heart and showed no signs of pretense.
After another round of polite exchanges, she gradually recovered her mana as time passed. This was due to Lin Xuan's gift of medicinal pills and elixirs.
