这丫头，是琴心的徒儿，与自己亦算熟悉，然而在人界之时，给自己留下深刻印象的，仅仅是伶牙俐齿，在修行一道上，并无别样天赋，如今的修为，也不过洞玄而已，怎么可能看破自己的行迹？
This girl is Qinxin's disciple, and she’s somewhat familiar to me. However, during my time in the mortal world, what left a deep impression on me was merely her sharp tongue; she had no other special talents in cultivation. Her current cultivation level is only at the Profound Abyss stage—how could it be possible for her to discern my movements?
chú le chà yì hái shì chà yì 。.
除了诧异还是诧异。.
The astonishment continued.
sú huà shuō ， shì bié sān yuē dāng guā mù xiāng kàn ， gǔ rén chéng bù qī wǒ ， ruò shì méi yǒu liào cuò ， wǔ yún ér zhè xiē nián lái ， yě yí dìng yǒu bù dé le de qí yù 。
俗话说，士别三曰当刮目相看，古人诚不欺我，若是没有料错，武云儿这些年来，也一定有不得了的奇遇。
They say that one should look at people anew after three days apart, and the ancients did not deceive me. If I hadn't guessed wrongly, Wu Yun'er must have had some extraordinary experiences over these years.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān yě bù hǎo jì xù yǐn cáng xíng jì ， rú jīn tā yǐ jīng yìn zhèng le xīn zhōng de cāi cè ， gù yǒu chóng féng ， yuán běn jiù dǎ suàn chū lái jiàn miàn 。
心中如此想着，林轩也不好继续隐藏行迹，如今他已经印证了心中的猜测，故友重逢，原本就打算出来见面。
With this thought in mind, Lin Xuan found it hard to continue hiding his presence. He had already confirmed his suspicions; a long-lost friend was here, so he intended to meet them anyway. Even if Wu Yun'er revealed his whereabouts, it would just be an unexpected surprise, nothing to feel regretful about.
jí biàn bèi wǔ yún ér jiāng xíng zōng jiào pò ， yě bù guò shì yǒu xiē chū hū yì liào bà le ， bìng bú huì gǎn dào yǒu shén me ào nǎo bù tuǒ 。
即便被武云儿将行踪叫破，也不过是有些出乎意料罢了，并不会感到有什么懊恼不妥。
On the other side, Wu Yun'er's words drew everyone's attention.
zài shuō lìng yī biān ， wǔ yún ér de yī jù yán yǔ ， jiāng zài chǎng zhòng rén de mù guāng quán dōu xī yǐn le guò qù 。
再说另一边，武云儿的一句言语，将在场众人的目光全都吸引了过去。
Someone was surveying around?
jū rán yǒu rén huán shì zài cè ？
居然有人环视在侧？
Whizzing sounds entered his ears as several people raised their treasures.
sōu sōu zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǐ yǒu shù rén jì qǐ le zì jǐ de bǎo wù 。
嗖嗖之声传入耳朵，已有数人祭起了自己的宝物。
The current Baxuan Pavilion was in conflict with other sects, and they were at a disadvantage. It was no wonder they were on high alert.
rú jīn de bài xuān gé ， kě shì zhèng yǔ bié de zōng mén chōng tū ， ér qiě dí qiáng wǒ ruò ， yě jiù nán guài tā men zhè me cǎo mù jiē bīng le 。
如今的拜轩阁，可是正与别的宗门冲突，而且敌强我弱，也就难怪他们这么草木皆兵了。
In an instant, the air seemed to freeze.
yī shí jiān ， kōng qì dōu fǎng fú níng gù 。
一时间，空气都仿佛凝固。
Just when everyone hesitated, a sigh filled the air, carrying an indescribable joy. Then, a flash of green light appeared before their eyes—a cultivator materialized.
jiù zài rén rén yóu yí bù dìng de shí hòu ， yī tàn xī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què dài zhe shuō bù jìn de huān xǐ zhī sè ， suí hòu qīng guāng yī shǎn ， yī míng xiū shì fú xiàn yú yǎn lián 。
就在人人犹疑不定的时候，一叹息声传入耳朵，却带着说不尽的欢喜之色，随后青光一闪，一名修士浮现于眼帘。
He was in his early twenties, extremely young with no remarkable features; he looked like just another person thrown into a crowd and would be quickly forgotten.
bù guò èr shí chū tóu nián jì ， nián qīng yǐ jí ， wǔ guān yě méi yǒu shén me chū qí ， jiù shì zuì zuì pǔ tōng de nà zhǒng ， diū jìn rén duī lì kè huì bèi rén wàng jì 。
不过二十出头年纪，年轻以极，五官也没有什么出奇，就是最最普通的那种，丢进人堆立刻会被人忘记。
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile.
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān dài zhe xiào yì 。
林轩的嘴角边带着笑意。
Wu Yun'er and Liu Xin were struck by lightning, their faces filled with disbelief.
wǔ yún ér yǔ liú xīn zé rú zāo léi jī ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì bù kě sī yì 。
武云儿与刘芯则如遭雷击，脸上满是不可思议。
After thousands of years apart, how could they not miss Lin Xuan?
yī bié shù qiān zài ， tā men rú hé huì bù xiǎng niàn lín xuān 。
一别数千载，她们如何会不想念林轩。
Back then, the two girls had unexpected good fortune; they ascended to the Spirit Realm. However, Baxuan Pavilion couldn't go with them. The current Baxuan Pavilion was what they had rebuilt, using the same name out of profound nostalgia for Lin Xuan.
dāng nián ， èr nǚ suī yǒu qí yù ， yì wài fēi shēng dào le líng jiè qù ， dàn bài xuān gé zì rán bù kě néng yì qǐ ， rú jīn de bài xuān gé ， shì tā men chóng xīn chuàng lì 。
当年，二女虽有奇遇，意外飞升到了灵界去，但拜轩阁自然不可能一起，如今的拜轩阁，是她们重新创立。
At night, they often dreamed of reuniting with him.
yī jiù yòng zhè ge míng zì ， kě jiàn duì lín xuān shì huái niàn yǐ jí 。
依旧用这个名字，可见对林轩是怀念以极。
Unfortunately, it was just a dream.
wǔ yè mèng huí ， yě cháng cháng mèng dào yǔ tā tuán jù 。
午夜梦回，也常常梦到与他团聚。
The Spirit Realm was vast, with hundreds of small interfaces. Most of these small interfaces were much larger than the mortal world.
kě xī ， jǐn jǐn shì zuò mèng ér yǐ 。
可惜，仅仅是做梦而已。
Finding each other here would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
líng jiè miàn jī guǎng bó ， guāng shì xiǎo jiè miàn jiù yǒu shù bǎi zhī duō 。
灵界面积广博，光是小界面就有数百之多。
Both girls knew that they would never see Lin Xuan again in this life.
qiě jué dà bù fèn xiǎo jiè miàn de miàn jī ， dōu yào yuǎn bǐ rén jiè guǎng kuò 。
且绝大部分小界面的面积，都要远比人界广阔。
Yet, they continued to build Baxuan Pavilion, even though it was across the vast expanse of the heavens. It was a form ofentrust (reliance).
zài zhè lǐ xiǎng yào yǔ shào yé chóng féng ， jiǎn zhí yǔ dà hǎi lāo zhēn chà bu duō 。
在这里想要与少爷重逢，简直与大海捞针差不多。
However, now, had heaven opened its eyes?
liǎng nǚ xīn zhōng qīng chǔ ， jīn shēng shì zhù dìng wú fǎ yǔ lín xuān zài jiàn de 。
两女心中清楚，今生是注定无法与林轩再见的。
Heaven be praised! The master was sent here!
rán ér tā men yī jiù qiè ér bù shě de chuàng jiàn le bài xuān gé ， nǎ pà tiān gè yī fāng ， zhè yě suàn shì yī zhǒng jì tuō 。
然而她们依旧锲而不舍的创建了拜轩阁，哪怕天各一方，这也算是一种寄托。
The overwhelming joy left them speechless. They couldn't believe their own eyes and feared that they might have seen wrong or it was just a dream.
rán ér cǐ kè ， shì lǎo tiān yé kāi yǎn le me ？
然而此刻，是老天爷开眼了么？
Only when Lin Xuan's intoxicating smile appeared did he say, "How is it, two girls? Just a thousand years apart, you can’t recognize me?"
tiān kě lián jiàn ， jū rán jiāng shào yé sòng dào le cǐ chù 。
天可怜见，居然将少爷送到了此处。
"Master."
tài guò yì wài de xìng fú ， ràng liǎng nǚ bù gǎn xiāng xìn zì jǐ de yǎn zhū 。
太过意外的幸福，让两女不敢相信自己的眼珠。
The two finally confirmed that they hadn't mistaken him for someone else and weren't in a dream.
hài pà shì zì jǐ kàn cuò ， huò zhě jǐn jǐn shì huáng liáng měi mèng bà le 。
害怕是自己看错，或者仅仅是黄粱美梦罢了。
Liu Xin stepped forward, her trembling body unable to control itself. Tears slid down her fair face.
zhí dào lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū lìng rén mí zuì de xiào róng ， tā suī rán bù shuài ， dàn cǐ kè què yǒu yī gǔ yáng guāng de wèi dào mí sàn ér chū ：“ zěn me ， liǎng gè yā tou ， cái qū qū qiān zài bú jiàn ， jiù rèn bù dé wǒ ？”
直到林轩脸上露出令人迷醉的笑容，他虽然不帅，但此刻却有一股阳光的味道弥散而出：“怎么，两个丫头，才区区千载不见，就认不得我？”
"Is it really you, Master?"
“ shào yé 。”
“少爷。”
She softly called out, afraid of making a mistake and shattering the beautiful illusion.
liǎng nǚ zhōng yú kěn dìng zì jǐ bú shì rèn cuò ， yě bìng fēi zài mèng lǐ 。
两女终于肯定自己不是认错，也并非在梦里。
"It's me," Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Xin'er, I didn’t expect to meet you again. I’m truly... delighted."
liú xīn tà qián yī bù ， jiāo qū yǐ bù shòu kòng zhì de chàn dǒu qǐ lái le ， jīng yíng de lèi shuǐ zì bái yù bān de liǎn páng shàng huá luò 。
刘芯踏前一步，娇躯已不受控制的颤抖起来了，晶莹的泪水自白玉般的脸庞上滑落。
The word "delighted" seemed to ignite all of Liu Xin’s sorrows and emotions. Her centuries-long yearning was realized in this moment; she couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears, throwing herself into Lin Xuan's arms.
“ shào yé ， zhēn de shì nǐ me ？”
“少爷，真的是你么？”
"Master, it is you, really you."
tā qīng qīng hū huàn le yī shēng ， fǎng fú shēng pà zì jǐ rèn cuò ， měi mèng huàn miè diào le 。
她轻轻呼唤了一声，仿佛生怕自己认错，美梦幻灭掉了。
"Yes, it's me."
“ shì wǒ 。” lín xuān xiào le ：“ xīn ér ， wǒ yě méi xiǎng dào hái néng yǔ nǐ men xiāng jù ， wǒ zhēn de hěn …… huān xǐ 。”
“是我。”林轩笑了：“芯儿，我也没想到还能与你们相聚，我真的很……欢喜。”
The girl's excitement left Lin Xuan somewhat startled, but he was touched by Xin'er’s genuine emotions. It was just a hug, yet Lin Xuan wrapped his arms around the young woman: "Silly girl, don't cry. With me here, there's no need to worry about Baxuan Pavilion."
yī jù “ huān xǐ ”， fǎng fú jiāng liú xīn suǒ yǒu de wěi qū ， suǒ yǒu de qíng gǎn ， quán bù diǎn rán ， jǐ bǎi nián de qǐ pàn ， zài zhè yī kè shí xiàn ， tā zài yě rěn nài bú zhù ， fàng shēng dà kū ， pū dào le lín xuān de huái lǐ 。
一句“欢喜”，仿佛将刘芯所有的委屈，所有的情感，全部点燃，几百年的企盼，在这一刻实现，她再也忍耐不住，放声大哭，扑到了林轩的怀里。
"Senior."
“ shào yé ， shì nǐ ， zhēn de shì nǐ 。”
“少爷，是你，真的是你。”
...
“ bù cuò ， shì wǒ 。”
“不错，是我。”
Compared to Liu Xin, Wu Yun'er appeared more reserved, but her joy and excitement were evident. Her true feelings were not exaggerated at all.
zhè yā tou rú cǐ jī dòng ， ràng lín xuān yě yǒu xiē cuò è ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， xīn ér rú cǐ zhēn qíng liú lù ， zǒng ràng tā yǒu xiē gǎn dòng de 。
这丫头如此激动，让林轩也有些错愕，但不管如何，芯儿如此真情流露，总让他有些感动的。
The other cultivators of Baxuan Pavilion were dumbfounded.
bù guò shì yí gè yōng bào ér yǐ ， lín xuān shēn shǒu huán zhù shào nǚ de jiāo qū ：“ shǎ yā tou ， bié kū ， yǒu wǒ zài ， bié dān xīn bài xuān gé suǒ yù jiàn de má fán 。”
不过是一个拥抱而已，林轩伸手环住少女的娇躯：“傻丫头，别哭，有我在，别担心拜轩阁所遇见的麻烦。”
This Baxuan Pavilion was different from the previous one; it had been established after their ascension to the Spirit Realm.
“ shī bó 。”
“师伯。”
As for Lin Xuan, they hadn't seen him before.
……
……
But saying that they didn’t know each other would be inaccurate. His portrait hung in the pavilion, and two of its leaders had a deep connection with him—one was once his maidservant, while the other called him senior.
yǔ liú xīn xiāng bǐ ， wǔ yún ér jiù xiǎn de jīn chí le xǔ duō ， dàn liǎn shàng de huān xǐ yǔ jī dòng yī jiù shì míng xiǎn dào le jí chù ， shuō zhēn qíng liú lù ， nà shì yì diǎn dōu méi yǒu kuā zhāng zhī chù 。
与刘芯相比，武云儿就显得矜持了许多，但脸上的欢喜与激动依旧是明显到了极处，说真情流露，那是一点都没有夸张之处。
These secrets were unknown to low-ranking disciples, but this time, all the reinforcements accompanying the two leaders were elite warriors without doubt.
zhì yú bài xuān gé qí tā de xiū xiān zhě ， yí gè gè ， zé chēng mù jié shé 。
至于拜轩阁其他的修仙者，一个个，则瞠目结舌。
The reason behind it was well-known.
cǐ bài xuān gé fēi bǐ bài xuān gé ， nǎi shì liǎng nǚ fēi shēng dào líng jiè yǐ hòu ， cái màn màn chuàng lì de 。
此拜轩阁非彼拜轩阁，乃是两女飞升到灵界以后，才慢慢创立的。
Seeing Lin Xuan's gaze, one cultivator suddenly had a sudden realization and knelt before him, performing a grand bow: "Subordinate pays respects to the Young Master. Congratulations on reuniting with the two leaders; this is a joyous occasion."
zhì yú lín xuān ， tā men zì rán shì bù céng jiàn guò 。
至于林轩，他们自然是不曾见过。
Other cultivators were stunned, then followed suit, their heads bowing like garlic cloves. Although it was somewhat exaggerated, such courtesy was not frowned upon.
dàn shuō sù bù xiāng shí ， què yě bù tuǒ 。
但说素不相识，却也不妥。
Some even secretly released their divine sense to check Lin Xuan's cultivation level but were shocked upon seeing his profound and unfathomable presence; they couldn't discern his cultivation stage at all—could he be a spirit realm cultivator?
yào zhī dào bài xuān gé zhōng ， kě shì gōng zhe tā de huà xiàng ， ér liǎng wèi gé zhǔ ， yǔ tā de yuān yuán yě shì bù qiǎn ， yí gè céng shì qí shì nǚ ， zhì yú lìng wài yí gè ， zé chēng hū tā wèi shī bó 。
要知道拜轩阁中，可是供着他的画像，而两位阁主，与他的渊源也是不浅，一个曾是其侍女，至于另外一个，则称呼他为师伯。
Before this thought could fully form, someone suddenly exclaimed in shock: "Senior, did I see wrong? You’ve already become an existence of great power who has passed the Tribulation?"
zhè xiē mì mì ， dī jiē dì zǐ huò xǔ bù xiǎo de ， dàn zhè yī cì ， gēn suí liǎng wèi gé zhǔ qián lái jiē yīng de ， quán dōu shì jīng ruì méi cuò 。
这些秘密，低阶弟子或许不晓得，但这一次，跟随两位阁主前来接应的，全都是精锐没错。
Wu Yun'er's face was filled with astonishment and disbelief.
gè zhōng yuán yóu ， zì rán shì ěr shú néng xiáng de 。
个中缘由，自然是耳熟能详的。
Her cultivation level was only at the Profound Abyss stage, but she had extraordinary good fortune; she cultivated a special talent that allowed her to discern others' movements and their cultivation levels without being bound by their realm.
jiàn lín xuān de mù guāng cháo zhè biān sǎo guò ， bù zhī dào shì nǎ míng xiū xiān zhě ， tū rán fú zhì xīn líng le ， chōng zhe lín xuān guì le xià lái ， dà lǐ cān bài ：“ shǔ xià cān jiàn shǎo zhǔ ， gōng xǐ shǎo zhǔ yǔ liǎng wèi gé zhǔ tuán jù ， wàn qiān zhī xǐ 。”
见林轩的目光朝这边扫过，不知道是哪名修仙者，突然福至心灵了，冲着林轩跪了下来，大礼参拜：“属下参见少主，恭喜少主与两位阁主团聚，万千之喜。”
"Really? Master, you’ve truly passed the Tribulation?" Liu Xin asked with shock on her face. This was impossible—Master’s progress in such a short time was unprecedented, too fast for words.
qí tā xiū xiān zhě yī dāi ， suí hòu yě fēn fēn guì le xià lái ， kē tóu rú dǎo suàn ， suī rán zhè me zuò ， shāo wēi kuā zhāng le yì diǎn ， bù guò fǎn zhèng lǐ duō rén bù guài 。
其他修仙者一呆，随后也纷纷跪了下来，磕头如捣蒜，虽然这么做，稍微夸张了一点，不过反正礼多人不怪。
"Yes."
yě yǒu rén tōu tōu jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， xiǎng yào chá kàn lín xuān jìng jiè rú hé ， rán ér zhè yī kàn què shì dà jīng shī sè ， shēn bù kě cè ， gēn běn jiù chá tàn bú dào jìng jiè rú hé ， nán dào shì fēn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě 。
也有人偷偷将神识放出，想要查看林轩境界如何，然而这一看却是大惊失色，深不可测，根本就查探不到境界如何，难道是分神级别的修仙者。
Lin Xuan didn't need to hide anything from these two girls: "Over these years, I haven’t wasted my time; now, I’m at the middle stage of Tribulation Passer."
rán ér zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， què tū rán tīng jiàn le yī shēng jīng hū 。
然而这个念头尚未转过，却突然听见了一声惊呼。
Lin Xuan's words brought thunderous applause. The Baxuan Pavilion’s cultivators were surprised and delighted. Heaven had indeed been kind to them by sending such a powerful ally.
“ shī bó ， wǒ …… wǒ yǒu méi yǒu kàn cuò ， nǐ jū rán yǐ jīng shì dù jié jí bié de dà néng cún zài le ？”
“师伯，我……我有没有看错，你居然已经是渡劫级别的大能存在了？”
With his help, their minor crisis was trivial.
wǔ yún ér de liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng è ， dài zhe bù kě sī yì zhī sè 。
武云儿的脸上满是惊愕，带着不可思议之色。
"Pay respects to the senior!"
tā de xiū wèi suī rán bù guò dòng xuán chū qī ， rán ér què yǒu zhe liǎo bù qǐ de qí yù ， xiū liàn chéng le yī tè shū tiān fù ， bù jǐn néng jiāng xiū shì de xíng jì kàn pò ， xiū wèi rú hé ， zài tā yǎn zhōng yě yì qīng èr chǔ ， bú huì shòu jìng jiè de shù fù 。
她的修为虽然不过洞玄初期，然而却有着了不起的奇遇，修炼成了一特殊天赋，不仅能将修士的行迹看破，修为如何，在她眼中也一清二楚，不会受境界的束缚。
The Cloud Concealment Sect was vast with many powerful sects. Baxuan Pavilion was insignificant in comparison. The two leaders were only at the Profound Abyss stage; the rest of the disciples had even lower cultivation levels—Tribulation Passers were legendary figures for them, and they could hardly believe their eyes.
“ shén me ， shào yé ， nǐ zhēn yǐ jīng shì dù jié qī le ？”
“什么，少爷，你真已经是渡劫期了？”
In their ecstasy, they naturally revered Lin Xuan to the utmost!
liú xīn tīng le ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì cuò è ， zhè kě néng me ， duǎn duǎn de shù qiān zài ， shào yé jìn zhǎn jū rán rú cǐ xùn sù ， qián wú gǔ rén hòu wú lái zhě ， zhè yàng de xiū liàn sù dù ， wèi miǎn yě tài kuā zhāng le 。
刘芯听了，脸上满是错愕，这可能么，短短的数千载，少爷进展居然如此迅速，前无古人后无来者，这样的修炼速度，未免也太夸张了。
Postscript: Today, I invited my father-in-law and mother-in-law for a family dinner.
