bǎi huā xiān zi wēi xiào zhe shuō ， yuán tā hái xiǎng zhe yào xǔ nuò gěi lín xuān shén me bào chóu ， bù guò rú jīn jì yǐ jié wèi jīn lán xiōng dì ， zài tán zhè xiē sú wù ， nà kě jiù zhēn de jiàn wài le 。
百花仙子微笑着说，原她还想着要许诺给林轩什么报酬，不过如今既已结为金兰兄弟，再谈这些俗物，那可就真的见外了。
Flower Fairy smiled gently. She had originally thought about offering Lin Xuan some reward, but now that they were sworn brothers, discussing such mundane matters would be out of place.
“ méi wèn tí ， xiǎo dì zì rán shì lè yì xiào láo ， jiù bù zhī èr jiě liàn dān de yuán liào kě yǒu còu qí ？”
“没问题，小弟自然是乐意效劳，就不知二姐炼丹的原料可有凑齐？”
"Of course not a problem. Younger brother naturally wishes to serve. I wonder if Elder Sister has gathered all the ingredients needed for alchemy?"
“ ń ， qí tā de jǐ wèi yuán liào ， dōu yǐ còu zú ， wéi yǒu tài yǐ xiān cǎo ， dà yuē hái xū qiān nián ， cái néng chéng shú ， yú jiě xiàn zài yě jiù zhè me yī shuō ， dào shí hòu ， zài qǐng sān dì nǐ dà xiǎn shēn shǒu 。”
“嗯，其他的几味原料，都已凑足，唯有太乙仙草，大约还需千年，才能成熟，愚姐现在也就这么一说，到时候，再请三弟你大显身手。”
"Mm, apart from a few other ingredients which are already in hand, the Taiyi Immortal Grass requires another thousand years before it can mature. I'm just saying this now; please come and show your prowess when the time comes."
bǎi huā xiān zi dòng tīng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， duì yú shì sú de fán rén lái shuō ， qiān nián de guāng yīn ， shì bù kě xiǎng xiàng de jiǔ yuǎn ， rán ér zài tā men zhè yàng de dà néng cún zài yǎn lǐ ， yě jiù shì dàn zhǐ yī huī jiān 。
百花仙子动听的声音传入耳朵，对于世俗的凡人来说，千年的光阴，是不可想象的久远，然而在他们这样的大能存在眼里，也就是弹指一挥间。
Flower Fairy's melodious voice entered Lin Xuan’s ears. To ordinary mortals, a thousand years was unimaginably long, but to them, such a span of time could pass in an instant.
yī cì dǎ zuò ， yī huí bì guān ， liú shì de guāng yīn ， jiù yǒu kě néng shì shù qiān nián ， suǒ yǐ zì rán yào zǎo zuò dǎ suàn 。
一次打坐，一回闭关，流逝的光阴，就有可能是数千年，所以自然要早做打算。
A single sitting or seclusion might see thousands of years go by, so they naturally had to make early plans.
rú jīn dé dào lín xuān kěn dìng dá fù ， tā de liǎn shàng ， yě liú lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè 。
如今得到林轩肯定答复，她的脸上，也流露出满意之色。
With Lin Xuan's affirmative response, satisfaction spread across her face. The three siblings and Qianqian Fairy then chatted about the strange tales from the cultivation world. With their vast knowledge, Lin Xuan listened with great interest, his mind becoming more lively.
suí hòu xiōng mèi sān rén ， zài jiā shàng qiān qiān xiān zi ， yì qǐ liáo qǐ le xiū xiān jiè de qí wén yì shì ， yǐ tā men jiàn shí guǎng bó ， lín xuān zì rán shì tīng dé dà gǎn xìng qù 。
随后兄妹三人，再加上芊芊仙子，一起聊起了修仙界的奇闻异事，以他们见识广博，林轩自然是听得大感兴趣。
This was precisely the best opportunity to inquire about ancient secrets he had been seeking.
xīn sī yě bù yóu de huó fàn qǐ lái le 。
心思也不由得活泛起来了。
While Qianqian Fairy wasn't mentioned, Naelong and Flower Fairy were both inheritors of ancient cultivators. From them, he might get the information he desired.
zì jǐ yì zhí xiǎng yào dǎ tīng shàng gǔ yǐn mì ， zhè bù jiù shì zuì hǎo de shí jī 。
自己一直想要打听上古隐秘，这不就是最好的时机。
Thus, Lin Xuan began to probe indirectly!
qiān qiān xiān zi qiě bù tí ， nài lóng bǎi huā ， kě dōu shì chuán chéng zì shàng gǔ de xiū xiān zhě ， cóng tā men kǒu zhōng ， yīng gāi kě yǐ dé dào zì jǐ xiǎng yào de xiāo xī 。
芊芊仙子且不提，鼐龙百花，可都是传承自上古的修仙者，从他们口中，应该可以得到自己想要的消息。
He didn't directly ask because he trusted these two individuals. Instead, asking too openly would raise their suspicions.
yú shì lín xuān páng qiāo cè jī ！
于是林轩旁敲侧击！
"Why is Third Brother so concerned about Asura? Could there be a connection between him and King Asura?"
tā zhī suǒ yǐ méi yǒu zhí jiē kāi kǒu xiāng xún dào bú shì xìn liǎng rén bù guò 。
他之所以没有直接开口相询倒不是信两人不过。
Naelong was a man of his word, and Flower Fairy was an extraordinary woman from the ages. Since they were sworn brothers, neither would harm him regardless of what happened.
ér shì wèn dé tài míng xiǎn le ， róng yì yǐn qǐ liǎng rén de huái yí 。
而是问得太明显了，容易引起两人的怀疑。
However, while this was true, secrets could pose dangers with each additional person who knew them. Lin Xuan didn't want anyone to know about his relationship with Yue'er unless absolutely necessary, so he probed indirectly through casual conversation.
sān dì wèi hé nà me guān xīn ā xiū luó ？
三弟为何那么关心阿修罗？
Although it was more troublesome, the two showed no hostility towards him and revealed quite a bit of information.
nán dào tā yǔ ā xiū luó wáng yǒu shén me guān xì 。
难道他与阿修罗王有什么关系。
In ancient times, the Spirit Realm had conflicts with the Netherworld, engaging in fierce battles. It seemed related to True Immortals, but the exact reasons were unclear even to Naelong and Flower Fairy.
nài lóng shì yí nuò qiān jīn de hǎo hàn zi ， bǎi huā yě shì kuàng shì nán xún de qí nǚ zǐ ， jì rán yì jié jīn lán ， wú lùn rú hé ， liǎng rén dōu bú huì duì zì jǐ bù lì 。
鼐龙是一诺千金的好汉子，百花也是旷世难寻的奇女子，既然义结金兰，无论如何，两人都不会对自己不利。
Lin Xuan was left disappointed when he found that his elder brother and sister didn't know more details either. He reluctantly abandoned this line of inquiry.
bù guò huà shì rú cǐ ， dàn mì mì zhè zhǒng dōng xī 。 duō yí gè rén zhī xiǎo ， jiù duō yī fèn wēi xiǎn xiè lòu ， rú wú bì yào ， lín xuān bìng bù xiǎng ràng rén zhī xiǎo zì jǐ yǔ yuè ér jiān de guān xì ， suǒ yǐ zhǐ néng páng qiāo cè jī ， yú tán xiào jiān dǎ tàn zì jǐ xiǎng yào zhī dào de xiāo xī 。
不过话是如此，但秘密这种东西。多一个人知晓，就多一份危险泄漏，如无必要，林轩并不想让人知晓自己与月儿间的关系，所以只能旁敲侧击，于谈笑间打探自己想要知道的消息。
However, there was one matter he still wanted to ask about.
zhè yàng zuò ， suī rán má fán le yī xiē ， dàn liǎng rén duì lín xuān bìng wú jiè yì ， hái bié shuō 。 zhēn bèi tā dǎ tīng dào le bù shǎo xiāo xī 。
这样做，虽然麻烦了一些，但两人对林轩并无戒意，还别说。真被他打听到了不少消息。
"Big Brother, have you ever been to the Netherworld?" Lin Xuan asked drunkenly after a few drinks.
shàng gǔ zhī shí ， líng jiè yǔ yīn sī jiè jiāo wù ， dà dǎ chū shǒu ， sì hū shì yǔ zhēn xiān yǒu guān de ， bù guò jù tǐ yuán yīn rú hé 。 nài lóng yǔ bǎi huā xiān zi ， yě bù tài qīng chǔ 。
上古之时，灵界与阴司界交恶，大打出手，似乎是与真仙有关的，不过具体原因如何。鼐龙与百花仙子，也不太清楚。
Naelong naturally had visited the Netherworld before. "Why do you want to go there for a tour, Third Brother?"
jū rán lián dà gē èr jiě dōu bù liǎo jiě gè zhōng xiáng qíng ， lín xuān yù mèn zhī yú ， yě zhǐ hǎo jiāng zhè ge wèn tí fàng qì 。
居然连大哥二姐都不了解个中详情，林轩郁闷之余，也只好将这个问题放弃。
At their level, advancing further was difficult, so cultivation experts of this rank preferred traveling between realms rather than seclusion, hoping to find opportunities that might help them break through.
bù guò tā hái yǒu yī jiàn shì qíng ， xiǎng yào qǐng jiào liǎng rén 。
不过他还有一件事情，想要请教两人。
"That's right. However, the Netherworld is different from the Spirit Realm. I can tear through the void, but it’s hard for me to reach that realm without finding a spatial node, which requires luck. Do you have any leads?" Lin Xuan said without hesitation.
“ dà gē ， yīn sī dì fǔ ， nǐ kě qù guò ？” lín xuān zài jiǔ hān ěr rè zhī yú 。 zuì xūn xūn de kāi kǒu le 。
“大哥，阴司地府，你可去过？”林轩在酒酣耳热之余。醉醺醺的开口了。
"Breaking through the void alone isn't enough; if there's a treasure, you can still do so," Naelong boasted confidently.
“ yīn sī jiè ， wèi xiōng zì rán qù guò ， zěn me ， sān dì nǐ yě xiǎng qù nà ér yóu lì yī fān me ？” nài lóng yī biān hē jiǔ 。 yī biān bù yǐ wéi yì de shuō 。
“阴司界，为兄自然去过，怎么，三弟你也想去那儿游历一番么？”鼐龙一边喝酒。一边不以为意的说。
"What kind of treasure?"
shí lì dào le tā men zhè ge děng jí ， xiǎng yào zài jìn yí bù yǒu hěn dà de nán dù ， suǒ yǐ dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， zuì xǐ huān zuò de shì qíng bú shì bì guān 。 ér shì zài sān jiè zhī zhōng ， sì chù yóu lì 。 xún zhǎo jī yuán ， kàn yǒu méi yǒu yùn qì néng gòu tū pò 。
实力到了他们这个等级，想要再进一步有很大的难度，所以渡劫级别的修仙者，最喜欢做的事情不是闭关。而是在三界之中，四处游历。寻找机缘，看有没有运气能够突破。
Lin Xuan was delighted to hear this. He knew much, but compared to Naelong, he was far from equal in knowledge.
“ bù cuò ， rán ér yīn sī dì fǔ ， yǔ líng jiè bù tóng ， xiǎo dì suī néng pò suì xū kōng ， dàn yě nán yǐ dào nà ge jiè miàn qù de ， chú fēi xún dào kōng jiān jié diǎn ， kě nà xū yào jī yuán qiǎo hé ， bù zhī dào dà gē yǔ èr jiě ， kě yǒu shén me xiàn suǒ ？” lín xuān háo bú jiàn wài de shuō 。
“不错，然而阴司地府，与灵界不同，小弟虽能破碎虚空，但也难以到那个界面去的，除非寻到空间节点，可那需要机缘巧合，不知道大哥与二姐，可有什么线索？”林轩毫不见外的说。
"The Netherworld Disk allows one to easily tear through the void and enter the Netherworld."
“ xiǎng yào qù yīn sī dì fǔ ， dān kào pò suì xū kōng què shí yǒu bù xiǎo de nán dù ， bù guò shuí shuō yí dìng yào xún zhǎo dào kōng jiān jié diǎn le ， ruò yǒu bǎo wù ， yī yàng kě yǐ zuò dào de 。” nài lóng zhēn rén dà yán bù cán de shuō 。
“想要去阴司地府，单靠破碎虚空确实有不小的难度，不过谁说一定要寻找到空间节点了，若有宝物，一样可以做到的。”鼐龙真人大言不惭的说。
Flower Fairy, who had remained silent until now, spoke up. She extended her hand, tapped her waist, and a piece of treasure flew out of her storage bracelet before reaching Lin Xuan.
“ bǎo wù ， shén me bǎo wù ？”
“宝物，什么宝物？”
It was roughly the size of a palm with countless intricate patterns carved on its surface; clearly not an ordinary item.
lín xuān tīng le dà wèi huān xǐ ， zhè yì diǎn ， tā hái zhēn bù xiǎo de ， lín xuān jiàn shí suī guǎng ， rán ér bǐ qǐ nài lóng zhēn rén ， chà le zì rán bù zhǐ yī chóu de 。
林轩听了大为欢喜，这一点，他还真不晓得，林轩见识虽广，然而比起鼐龙真人，差了自然不止一筹的。
"Is this the Netherworld Disk?"
“ yīn sī pán ， zhǐ xū yào yǒu le cǐ wù ， zì rán jiù néng qīng yì pò suì xū kōng ， qián wǎng yīn sī dì fǔ 。” yì zhí méi yǒu shuō huà de bǎi huā xiān zi kāi kǒu le 。
“阴司盘，只需要有了此物，自然就能轻易破碎虚空，前往阴司地府。”一直没有说话的百花仙子开口了。
Lin Xuan's face lit up. He had been searching for it without success, and now he had found it so easily. His problem was solved in a single conversation with his elder brother and sister.
yī biān hái shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， líng guāng yī shǎn ， yī jiàn bǎo bèi fēi chū le tā de chǔ wù dài ， lái dào lín xuān de miàn qián 。
一边还伸出手来，在腰间一拍，灵光一闪，一件宝贝飞出了她的储物袋，来到林轩的面前。
"Thank you, Elder Sister."
yǔ bā zhǎng dà xiǎo xiāng chà fǎng fú ， biǎo miàn diāo kè de wén zhèn nà gèng shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， yī kàn jiù bú shì fán wù 。
与巴掌大小相差仿佛，表面雕刻的纹阵那更是数不胜数，一看就不是凡物。
Lin Xuan happily accepted the treasure. Flower Fairy clearly intended to give him this Netherworld Disk as a gift.
“ zhè jiù shì yīn sī pán me ？”
“这就是阴司盘么？”
Knowing its value, Lin Xuan didn't hesitate to accept it. While he had initially considered it as a favor from his powerful allies, after their pleasant conversation and mutual understanding, Lin Xuan sincerely recognized them as family.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū dà xǐ guò wàng zhī sè ， zhè hái zhēn shì tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu ， zì jǐ de yī zhuāng nán tí ， zài tán xiào jiān ， jiù bèi dà gē èr jiě gěi jiě jué le 。
林轩脸上露出大喜过望之色，这还真是踏破铁鞋无觅处得来全不费工夫，自己的一桩难题，在谈笑间，就被大哥二姐给解决了。
A man of his word, he would remain steadfast until death!
“ duō xiè èr jiě 。”
“多谢二姐。”
...
lín xuān xǐ zī zī de shōu hǎo bǎo wù ， bǎi huā xiān zi rú cǐ zuò ， xiǎn rán shì yǒu yì sòng yǔ tā yí gè yīn sī pán de 。
林轩喜滋滋的收好宝物，百花仙子如此做，显然是有意送与他一个阴司盘的。
There was no such thing as an eternal banquet.
suī rán zhī dào cǐ wù guì zhòng ， dàn lín xuān yě bú kè qì 。
虽然知道此物贵重，但林轩也不客气。
After another hour or so of lively discussion, Lin Xuan bid farewell to his brother.
ruò shuō xiān qián jié bài ， duō shǎo hái yǒu yī fān dà shù dǐ xià hǎo chéng liáng de xīn lǐ ， nà zhè yī fān jiǔ yàn hē xià lái ， shuāng fāng yán tán shèn huān ， yì qì xiāng tóu zhī xià ， lín xuān yě jiù zhēn xīn rèn le zhè mén qīn qī 。
若说先前结拜，多少还有一番大树底下好乘凉的心里，那这一番酒宴喝下来，双方言谈甚欢，意气相投之下，林轩也就真心认了这门亲戚。
He couldn't leave Qinyin alone in the room while he enjoyed himself here.
dà zhàng fū yí nuò qiān jīn ， zhì sǐ bù yú ！
大丈夫一诺千金，至死不渝！
"Master."
……
……
Seeing Lin Xuan return, Qinyin's joy was evident. Her worries were gone.
tiān xià wú bù sàn de yàn xí 。
天下无不散的宴席。
Lin Xuan briefly mentioned his findings. Upon learning that Lin Xuan had sworn brotherhood with Flower Fairy, Qinyin was equally surprised and pleased.
yòu rè nào le yí gè duō shí chén ， lín xuān xiàng xiōng zhǎng gào cí 。
又热闹了一个多时辰，林轩像兄长告辞。
"But you've also found the Netherworld Disk. So, you're going to look for Yue'er’s whereabouts. You’re certain she's in the Netherworld?"
tā zài zhè lǐ hē jiǔ hē dé rè nào ， zǒng bù néng liú qín xīn yí gè rén zài fáng lǐ 。
他在这里喝酒喝得热闹，总不能留琴心一个人在房里。
"I can’t say I’m one hundred percent sure, but since there are no signs of her in the Spirit or Demon Realms, I believe it has a good chance," Lin Xuan said with concern on his face when mentioning Yue'er.
“ fū jūn 。”
“夫君。”
"Master, don't worry. Good people have good fortune. I trust Yue'er will be safe."
jiàn lín xuān huí lái ， ōu yáng qín xīn guǒ rán dà xǐ ， dān xīn jǐn qù 。
见林轩回来，欧阳琴心果然大喜，担心尽去。
"I hope so."
lín xuān jiǎn dān shuō le yī xià cǐ xíng de shōu huò ， dé zhī lín xuān yǔ le bǎi huā xiān zi yì jié jīn lán ， ōu yáng qín xīn tóng yàng shì chēng mù jié shé 。
林轩简单说了一下此行的收获，得知林轩与了百花仙子义结金兰，欧阳琴心同样是瞠目结舌。
...
bù guò tā zǎo yǐ jiàn shí guò zhàng fū de shì ， jīng yà guī jīng yà ， suí hòu qǔ ér dài zhī de zé shì huān xǐ 。
不过她早已见识过丈夫的事，惊讶归惊讶，随后取而代之的则是欢喜。
After leaving Tianyin Palace, Lin Xuan had planned to travel with Naelong for some time before parting ways. However, now that their relationship was different, and given that Naelong was his elder brother, Lin Xuan felt comfortable riding in the boat.
“ fū jūn hái xún dào le yīn sī pán ， zhè me shuō ， nǐ yào qù xún zhǎo yuè ér mèi mèi de zōng jì ， bù guò nǐ kěn dìng ， tā yí dìng zài yīn sī jiè lǐ 。”
“夫君还寻到了阴司盘，这么说，你要去寻找月儿妹妹的踪迹，不过你肯定，她一定在阴司界里。”
Since Naelong was also heading back to Naelong's realm, Lin Xuan decided to take a free ride.
“ bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de bǎ wò bù gǎn shuō ， dàn líng jiè mó jiè dōu wú yuè ér de zōng jì ， wǒ xiǎng yīn sī dì fǔ ， shì yǒu bù xiǎo kě néng xìng dì 。” shuō dào yuè ér ， lín xuān liǎn shàng fú xiàn chū jǐ fēn dān yōu zhī sè 。
“百分之百的把握不敢说，但灵界魔界都无玥儿的踪迹，我想阴司地府，是有不小可能性地。”说到月儿，林轩脸上浮现出几分担忧之色。
Of course, he didn't plan on taking Qinyin with him to the Netherworld; it would be too risky. He intended to send her back to Cloud Concealment Sect first before embarking on his search for Yue'er.
“ fū jūn bù yòng dān xīn ， jí rén zì yǒu tiān xiàng ， wǒ xiāng xìn yuè ér mèi mèi ， yí dìng píng ān wú shì 。”
“夫君不用担心，吉人自有天相，我相信月儿妹妹，一定平安无事。”
Although this would delay things, Lin Xuan wasn’t worried since good things take time. Besides, after so many years apart, he wanted to spend some quality time with Qinyin and enjoy family life.
“ dàn yuàn rú cǐ 。”
“但愿如此。”
Flower Fairy, with nothing else to do, decided to travel with them as well.
……
……
With these two by his side, they wouldn't encounter any trouble on their journey. The boat chose an appropriate location, tore through the void, and returned to Naelong's realm.
yuán ， lín xuān lí kāi tiān yīn gōng hòu ， dǎ suàn yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén tóng háng yī duàn lù tú zhī hòu ， jiù fēn dào yáng biāo de ， bù guò xiàn zài guān xì bù tóng ， duì fāng shì zì jǐ de dà gē ， lín xuān chéng zuò qǐ tā de huà fǎng ， yě jiù xīn ān lǐ dé 。
原，林轩离开天音宫后，打算与鼐龙真人同行一段路途之后，就分道扬镳的，不过现在关系不同，对方是自己的大哥，林轩乘坐起他的画舫，也就心安理得。
Since they had been traveling together for so long, Naelong decided to take Lin Xuan directly to Cloud Concealment Sect.
fǎn zhèng nài lóng yě zhǔn bèi huí nài lóng jiè ， lín xuān jiù zhǔn bèi dā shùn fēng chē 。
反正鼐龙也准备回鼐龙界，林轩就准备搭顺风车。

Flower Fairy smiled gently. She had originally thought about offering Lin Xuan some reward, but now that they were sworn brothers, discussing such mundane matters would be out of place.
