nà dòng xuán qī xiū shì bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de ， yào nián qīng xǔ duō ， jū rán shì yī wèi zhǐ yǒu shí qī bā suì de miào líng shào nǚ 。
那洞玄期修士比自己想象的，要年轻许多，居然是一位只有十七八岁的妙龄少女。
That Core Profound period cultivator was much younger than Lin Xuan had imagined, actually a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maiden.
yī tóu xiù fà rú pù bù bān wū hēi huī sǎ ， guā zi liǎn ， xiǎo yáo bí ， yóu qí shì nà duì yǎn jīng fèn wài de rě rén zhù yì ， gù pàn zhī jiān ， fǎng fú huì shuō huà yì bān 。
一头秀发如瀑布般乌黑挥洒，瓜子脸，小瑶鼻，尤其是那对眼睛分外的惹人注意，顾盼之间，仿佛会说话一般。
Her hair cascaded like a waterfall of black silk, her oval face and small nose stood out. But it was particularly the pair of eyes that caught everyone's attention; they seemed to speak when she looked around.
hǎo yī wèi qīng xiù kě rén de xiǎo měi nǚ 。
好一位清秀可人的小美女。
What a charming young beauty.
ràng lín xuān kàn dé liǎng yǎn fā zhí 。
让林轩看得两眼发直。
Lin Xuan stared at her with wide eyes.
bù guò ， bié wù huì ， lín xuān zhī suǒ yǐ rú cǐ ， kě bú shì yīn wèi cǐ nǚ de měi lì 。
不过，别误会，林轩之所以如此，可不是因为此女的美丽。
However, don't misunderstand—Lin Xuan wasn’t staring because of her beauty. Rather… he recognized her.
ér shì …… zì jǐ rèn shí 。
而是……自己认识。
To be precise, not only did he recognize her, but he knew them well.
zhèng què de shuō ， qǐ zhǐ shì rèn shí 。
正确的说，岂止是认识。
Lin Xuan was stunned for several seconds before exclaiming in surprise, "Yan'er, why are you here?"
lín xuān mǎn liǎn cuò è ， lèng le zú zú yǒu hǎo jǐ xī de gōng fu ， cái chà rán de kāi kǒu le ：“ yàn ér ， nǐ zěn me zài zhè lǐ ？”
林轩满脸错愕，愣了足足有好几息的功夫，才诧然的开口了：“雁儿，你怎么在这里？”
"Master... Master?"
“ shī …… shī fù ？”
“师……师傅？”
The beautiful maiden beside him was equally shocked, unable to believe what she saw.
yī páng ， nà měi lì shào nǚ tóng yàng shì cóng chēng mù jié shé ， jī hū bù xiāng xìn zì jǐ suǒ kàn dào de yí mù 。
一旁，那美丽少女同样是从瞠目结舌，几乎不相信自己所看到的一幕。
Such a coincidence was beyond imagination. Lin Xuan had never expected to meet his beloved disciple under such circumstances. He hadn't even prepared for it.
shí zài shì ， zhè yàng de qiǎo yù tài chāo hū xiǎng xiàng le 。
实在是，这样的巧遇太超乎想象了。
Before he could fully process this thought, another familiar voice rang out: "Sister, the two leaders have returned. Why are you still here? Did you encounter an enemy? I'll help."
suī shuō wú qiǎo bù chéng shū ， dàn lín xuān zuò mèng yě méi xiǎng dào ， huì zài zhè yàng de qíng xíng xià ， yù jiàn zì jǐ de ài tú 。
虽说无巧不成书，但林轩做梦也没想到，会在这样的情形下，遇见自己的爱徒。
A brilliant light appeared before her words were finished, revealing a beautiful maiden slightly younger than Shangguan Yan, with a face that bore some resemblance but was more rounded and infant-like.
yì diǎn sī xiǎng zhǔn bèi yě wú 。
一点思想准备也无。
Without turning around, Lin Xuan knew who it was. The Shangguan sisters were his first disciples; though they had been apart for thousands of years, he couldn't forget their appearance and demeanor.
zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， yòu yī shú xī de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ jiě jiě ， duì fāng de liǎng gè shǒu lǐng huí lái le ， nǐ zěn me hái zài zhè lǐ lèng zhe ， nán dào yù jiàn le qiáng dí ， wǒ lái bāng nǐ 。”
这个念头尚未转过，又一熟悉的声音传入耳朵：“姐姐，对方的两个首领回来了，你怎么还在这里愣着，难道遇见了强敌，我来帮你。”
When Lin Xuan went to the Netherworld to find Yue'er, he had asked his senior brothers and sisters to bring them back from a small interface, but various coincidences prevented it. His elder brother Long had mentioned this matter, and although Lin Xuan felt regret, he didn't say much. With so many matters on his plate, he could only put off the matter for now.
huà yīn wèi luò ， yòu yī dào yàn lì de jīng hóng fú xiàn ér chū ， guāng huá yī liǎn ， lù chū yī měi mào shào nǚ de róng yán ， bǐ shàng guān yàn hái yào shāo wēi nián qīng yì diǎn ， róng mào yě pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì ， bù guò yào gèng yuán rùn yī xiē ， liǎn dàn yǒu jǐ fēn yīng ér féi de yàng zi 。
话音未落，又一道艳丽的惊虹浮现而出，光华一敛，露出一美貌少女的容颜，比上官雁还要稍微年轻一点，容貌也颇有几分相似，不过要更圆润一些，脸蛋有几分婴儿肥的样子。
Lin Xuan planned to personally go to retrieve them after finding the Seven Treasures of Naraka.
bù yòng huí tóu ， lín xuān yě zhī dào shì shuí lái le 。
不用回头，林轩也知道是谁来了。
After all, they were his beloved disciples; how could he ignore them?
shàng guān jiě mèi ， kě shì zì jǐ zuì xiān shōu de liǎng gè tú ér ， suī shuō yī bié shù qiān zài ， dàn tā men de yīn róng xiào mào lín xuān yòu zěn me kě néng wàng huái 。
上官姐妹，可是自己最先收的两个徒儿，虽说一别数千载，但她们的音容笑貌林轩又怎么可能忘怀。
But before he could even leave, he met them here.
dāng chū ， lín xuān qù yīn sī dì fǔ xún zhǎo yuè ér ， céng bài tuō shī xiōng shī jiě qù xiǎo jiè miàn jiāng tā men xún huí lái ， zhǐ shì zhǒng zhǒng jī yuán qiǎo hé ， wèi néng chéng háng bà le 。
当初，林轩去阴司地府寻找月儿，曾拜托师兄师姐去小界面将她们寻回来，只是种种机缘巧合，未能成行罢了。
And in such circumstances.
cǐ shì 。 lóng shī xiōng yě céng tí qǐ guò ， lín xuān suī gǎn yí hàn ， què yě bù hǎo duō shuō ， zhǐ shì zì jǐ rú jīn shì qíng tài duō ， fēn shēn fá shù ， suǒ yǐ zhǐ néng jiāng zhè jiàn shì qíng zàn qiě yā hòu 。
此事。龙师兄也曾提起过，林轩虽感遗憾，却也不好多说，只是自己如今事情太多，分身乏术，所以只能将这件事情暂且押后。
Apart from being surprised, Lin Xuan was overjoyed. Whether this experience was extraordinary or not, meeting with two of his disciples brought him immense joy.
lín xuān dǎ suàn xún zhǎo dào xiū luó qī bǎo yǐ hòu ， jiù qīn zì qù jiē tā men de 。
林轩打算寻找到修罗七宝以后，就亲自去接她们的。
"Ying'er, why... you want to team up with Yan'er and defeat me, your master?"
bì jìng shì zì jǐ de ài tú ， nǎ yǒu kě néng duì tā men bù guǎn bù gù 。
毕竟是自己的爱徒，哪有可能对她们不管不顾。
Lin Xuan's mood was excellent as he joked around.
nǎ xiǎo de ， hái méi yǒu qù ， jiù xiān zài zhè lǐ yù jiàn le 。
哪晓得，还没有去，就先在这里遇见了。
Shangguan Ying stood there in shock, her large eyes wide open. She rubbed her eyes: "M-Master?"
ér qiě hái shì zài zhè yàng de qíng xíng xià 。
而且还是在这样的情形下。
"It's me, I am. Why are the two of you here?" Lin Xuan laughed heartily.
chú le chà yì 。 hái shì chà yì ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān xiū xiān jīng yàn zhī qí ， zhè yàng de jīng lì ， yě shì wàn wàn bù céng xiǎng dào dì 。
除了诧异。还是诧异，即便以林轩修仙经验之奇，这样的经历，也是万万不曾想到地。
"Master!"
dàn hěn kuài ， jiù biàn wèi jīng xǐ 。
但很快，就变为惊喜。
Shangguan Xiang followed suit, confirming that she hadn't mistaken him. With a lively personality, she had forgotten the setting and hugged Lin Xuan, sobbing like a weeping willow.
guǎn tā zhè yàng de jīng lì ， chū bù chū qí ， néng gòu yǔ liǎng wèi tú ér xiāng yù ， jiù shì huān xǐ 。
管他这样的经历，出不出奇，能够与两位徒儿相遇，就是欢喜。
"Master, this is wonderful! I thought I would never see you again."
“ líng ér ， zěn me 。 nǐ xiǎng yào yǔ yàn ér lián shǒu ， dǎ bài wǒ zhè ge shī fù 。”
“翎儿，怎么。你想要与雁儿联手，打败我这个师傅。”
The little girl cried as she spoke.
lín xuān xīn qíng jí hǎo ， yě jiù kāi qǐ le wán xiào 。
林轩心情极好，也就开起了玩笑。
Such an outcome left the surrounding cultivators speechless. Especially those from the Hundred Grass Sect who had come to support their two ladies, all of them staring wide-eyed in disbelief.
shàng guān líng dāi zhù ， yī shuāng piào liàng de yǎn jīng dèng dé dà dà de 。
上官翎呆住，一双漂亮的眼睛瞪得大大的。
This boy isn't an enemy; why did Second Miss embrace him? And call him... master?
róu le róu yǎn ：“ shī …… shī fù ？”
揉了揉眼：“师……师傅？”
Was something wrong with their minds? Although the cultivation world was full of wonders, this was too unbelievable. Perhaps they were under some powerful illusion.
“ bù cuò 。 shì wǒ ， nǐ men liǎng gè yā tou ， zěn me huì zài cǐ chù ？” lín xuān hā hā dà xiào de shuō 。
“不错。是我，你们两个丫头，怎么会在此处？”林轩哈哈大笑的说。
Before he could process this thought, another astonishing scene unfolded: "Master!"
“ shī fù ！”
“师傅！”
Shangguan Yan also sobbed and hugged Lin Xuan, just like her sister.
xiāng fēng yì rán ， shàng guān líng què rèn zì jǐ méi yǒu rèn cuò 。 zhè yā tou de xìng gé yí xiàng huó pō ， gāo xìng zhī xià yǐ wàng le chǎng hé ， bù gù shēn biān hái yǒu shù yǐ qiān jì de xiū shì zhuō duì sī shā 。 hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， jiù xiàng lín xuān pū qù 。
香风亦然，上官翎确认自己没有认错。这丫头的性格一向活泼，高兴之下已忘了场合，不顾身边还有数以千计的修士捉对厮杀。浑身青芒一起，就像林轩扑去。
While Shangguan Ying's personality was more reserved, she still held deep respect for her master. Seeing him now filled her with such joy that words failed her; all she could do was cry into his embrace as tears streamed down her porcelain face.
pū zài le tā de huái lǐ ， kū dé shì lí huā dài yǔ 。
扑在了他的怀里，哭得是梨花带雨。
Lin Xuan's expression turned awkward but joyful. He had come here to help the Vexing Pavilion, but this unexpected turn of events left him flabbergasted.
“ shī fù ， tài hǎo le ， wǒ hái yǐ wéi ， zài yě jiàn bú dào nǐ 。”
“师傅，太好了，我还以为，再也见不到你。”
Wait... wouldn't the sect with half the treasure map and currently clashing with the Vexing Pavilion be the Hundred Grass Sect?
xiǎo yā tou ， yī biān shuō ， yī biān wā wā de kū 。
小丫头，一边说，一边哇哇的哭。
This thought emerged in Lin Xuan's mind. Although it was just a guess, he found it increasingly plausible.
rú cǐ jié guǒ ， jiāng páng biān de xiū xiān zhě men kàn dé chēng mù jié shé 。
如此结果，将旁边的修仙者们看得瞠目结舌。
Otherwise, how could Shangguan sisters end up here?
yóu qí shì nà xiē gǎn lái zēng yuán liǎng wèi dà xiǎo jiě de bǎi cǎo mén xiū shì ， yí gè gè jiē dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， rú tóng zhuì rù wǔ lǐ yún wù 。
尤其是那些赶来增援两位大小姐的百草门修士，一个个皆瞪大了眼珠，如同坠入五里云雾。
For a moment, Lin Xuan felt both amused and surprised.
zhè xiǎo zi bú shì dí rén me ， èr xiǎo jiě zěn me què tóu huái sòng bào qǐ lái le ， hái jiào tā …… shī fù ？
这小子不是敌人么，二小姐怎么却投怀送抱起来了，还叫他……师傅？
It really was like the gods were playing a joke on him—strangers not recognizing each other in their own family.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， suī rán xiū xiān jiè guāng guài lù lí ， dàn zhè yě wèi miǎn tài bù kě sī yì 。
有没有搞错，虽然修仙界光怪陆离，但这也未免太不可思议。
Fortunately, fate had been kind to him. At this critical moment, he reunited with them.
hái shì shuō duì fāng shī zhǎn le shén me bù dé le de mì shù ， ràng zì jǐ zhè xiē rén ， chǎn shēng huàn jué le 。
还是说对方施展了什么不得了的秘术，让自己这些人，产生幻觉了。
Otherwise, if the Vexing Pavilion clashed with the Hundred Grass Sect, it would be a dilemma regardless of who won or lost. Lin Xuan would have been deeply disappointed.
zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， gèng jīng yà de yí mù chū xiàn le 。
这个念头尚未转过，更惊讶的一幕出现了。
Thankfully, they hadn't reached that point yet.
“ shī fù ！”
“师傅！”
Withdrawing now was still possible.
yòu shì yī shēng jīng hū ， shàng guān yàn yě kū dé lí huā dài yǔ ， xiàng lín xuān pū le guò qù 。
又是一声惊呼，上官雁也哭得梨花带雨，像林轩扑了过去。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
yǔ mèi mèi xiāng bǐ ， zhè yā tou de xìng gé què shí yào wěn zhòng yī xiē ， dàn shī fù de jìng zhòng sī niàn ， yòu hé cháng shǎo le bàn diǎn 。
与妹妹相比，这丫头的性格确实要稳重一些，但师傅的敬重思念，又何尝少了半点。
...
cǐ shí jiàn dào lín xuān ， yǐ huān xǐ dé lián huà dōu yào shuō bù chū lái 。
此时见到林轩，已欢喜得连话都要说不出来。
The entire process seemed complicated, but the meeting and recognition between Lin Xuan and his two disciples didn’t take long. However, as their leaders, this battle’s outcome had already garnered attention from many cultivators.
wéi yǒu bào zhe tā wū wū dà kū ， lèi shuǐ zì bái yù bān de liǎn páng huá luò 。
唯有抱着他呜呜大哭，泪水自白玉般的脸庞滑落。
Everyone wanted to see who would win. But what they got was an unexpected result that left them speechless.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng ， zé shì yī fù gān gà zhī sè ， tóng shí yě dà wèi huān xǐ ， zì jǐ lái dào zhè lǐ ， yuán běn shì wèi bài xuān gé jiě wéi de ， méi xiǎng dào ， què yǎn biàn chéng zhè zhǒng jié guǒ 。
林轩的脸上，则是一副尴尬之色，同时也大为欢喜，自己来到这里，原本是为拜轩阁解围的，没想到，却演变成这种结果。
All were stunned.
děng děng …… yōng yǒu lìng wài yí bàn cáng bǎo tú ， qiě zhèng yǔ bài xuān gé dà dǎ chū shǒu de ， bú huì jiù shì liǎng gè yā tou de zōng pài ， bǎi cǎo mén ba ？
等等……拥有另外一半藏宝图，且正与拜轩阁大打出手的，不会就是两个丫头的宗派，百草门吧？
The nearby cultivators paused first; although they hadn't fully understood the situation, most cultivators were smart enough to realize there must be a misunderstanding between their own people. Why continue fighting when both leaders shook hands?
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng ， áo chū yí gè niàn tou 。
林轩脑海中，熬出一个念头。
Thus, the sounds of combat gradually diminished as many retracted their treasures and the bright light began to fade.
suī rán jǐn jǐn shì cāi cè ， dàn què yuè xiǎng yuè jué de kào pǔ ér 。
虽然仅仅是猜测，但却越想越觉得靠谱儿。
From afar, Wu Yun'er and Liu Xin noticed something amiss. The two women flew over in a flash.
fǒu zé ， zěn me jiě shì shàng guān jiě mèi huì zài cǐ chù 。
否则，怎么解释上官姐妹会在此处。
No one stopped them; whether from the Vexing Pavilion or the Hundred Grass Sect, everyone was confused and eager for someone to clarify the situation quickly.
yī shí jiān ， lín xuān de biǎo qíng yǒu xiē kū xiào bù dé 。
一时间，林轩的表情有些哭笑不得。
Under such circumstances, they arrived almost instantly. Shangguan Ying and Shangguan Yan still clung to Lin Xuan, sobbing uncontrollably.
zhè hái zhēn shì dà shuǐ chōng le lóng wáng miào ， yī jiā rén bù rèn shí yī jiā rén le 。
这还真是大水冲了龙王庙，一家人不认识一家人了。
Such a result left them speechless, as if they had seen things wrong.
hǎo zài lǎo tiān yé dài zì jǐ bù báo 。
好在老天爷待自己不薄。
After a long while, one of them finally spoke: "Young Master, what... is happening?"
zài guān jiàn shí kè ràng zì jǐ yǔ tā men chóng jù le 。
在关键时刻让自己与她们重聚了。
"Young Master?"
fǒu zé bài xuān gé yǔ bǎi cǎo mén chōng tū ， shǒu xīn shǒu bèi dōu shì ròu ， bù lùn shuí shèng fù ， huò zhě liǎng bài jù shāng ， zì jǐ dōu fēi dà wèi jǔ sàng bù kě 。
否则拜轩阁与百草门冲突，手心手背都是肉，不论谁胜负，或者两败俱伤，自己都非大为沮丧不可。
Shangguan Yan turned around and saw the two Pavilion Masters. Her face showed surprise as well: "Master, you... recognize these two."
hǎo zài hái méi yǒu dào nà yī bù 。
好在还没有到那一步。
PS: Happy New Year on the second day of the Lunar New Year! Many friends are probably still sleeping in today; Rainy Dream started writing early again. I'm working hard, so please vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets!
That Core Profound period cultivator was much younger than Lin Xuan had imagined, actually a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maiden.
