"Never mind, we have plenty of time. With your talent, you will surely catch up to me one day."
“ méi guān xì ， lái rì fāng cháng ， yǐ qín xīn nǐ de zī zhì ， yǒu zhāo yī rì ， yí dìng kě yǐ zhuī shàng wǒ 。”
“没关系，来日方长，以琴心你的资质，有朝一日，一定可以追上我。”
Lin Xuan sighed, saying words that he himself did not entirely believe, but it was a kind lie. After all, his wife's mood was low, and he should at least try to comfort her.
lín xuān tàn xī ， shuō zhe zì jǐ yě bù xìn de yán yǔ ， dàn què shì shàn yì de huǎng yán ， bì jìng lǎo pó qíng xù dī luò ， zěn me ， zì jǐ dōu yīng gāi kuān wèi yī xià de 。
林轩叹息，说着自己也不信的言语，但却是善意的谎言，毕竟老婆情绪低落，怎么，自己都应该宽慰一下的。
"Alright, I was just teasing," said Ouyang Qinxin.
“ hǎo le ， rén jiā yě zhǐ shì shuō shuō 。”
“好了，人家也只是说说。”
How could she not know that Lin Xuan had good intentions? Actually, the pursuit of cultivation meant very little to her. As long as she remained by her husband's side forever, she felt content.
ōu yáng qín xīn rú hé bù xiǎo de lín xuān shì yī piàn hǎo yì ne ？
欧阳琴心如何不晓得林轩是一片好意呢？
Previously, she had pursued immortality on the path of cultivation, but now that she was married, her mindset had changed. She only wished to be with him for eternity, not aspiring after immortals.
qí shí xiū wèi shén me de ， tā yě bú shì hěn zài hū ， zhǐ yào yǒng yuǎn liú zài fū jūn shēn cè ， xīn zhōng jiù hěn mǎn zú 。
其实修为什么的，她也不是很在乎，只要永远留在夫君身侧，心中就很满足。
"Ahem..."
yǐ qián zǒu shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， shì wèi le zhuī xún cháng shēng ， rú jīn jià le rén yǐ hòu ， xīn tài què shì bù tóng ， zhǐ xiàn yuān yāng bù xiàn xiān ， dàn yuàn néng gòu xiāng bàn nǐ dào yǒng yuǎn 。
以前走上修仙之路，是为了追寻长生，如今嫁了人以后，心态却是不同，只羡鸳鸯不羡仙，但愿能够相伴你到永远。
The two were lost in their affection when the silver-eyed maiden beside them could no longer bear to watch. She gently coughed, and Lin Xuan and Ouyang Qinxin paused. They quickly realized that they should not be talking about such matters here, as several disciples could still be seen fighting the remaining域外天魔.
” hāi hāi ……”
”咳咳……”
Moreover, a few apprentices were watching from nearby.
liǎng rén qíng yì chán mián ， yín tóng shào nǚ zài yī páng què yǒu xiē kàn bù guò yǎn ， fǔ zuǐ qīng ké ， lín xuān yǔ ōu yáng qín xīn yī dāi ， suí jí fǎn yìng guò lái ， zhè lǐ kě bù shì hé tán qíng shuō ài ， jiù zài bù yuǎn zhī chù ， hái kě yǐ kàn jiàn fǎ bǎo fēi wǔ …… zhòng dì zǐ zhèng zài zhuī shā ， jiǎo xìng cún huó de yù wài tiān mó 。
两人情意缠绵，银瞳少女在一旁却有些看不过眼，抚嘴轻咳，林轩与欧阳琴心一呆，随即反应过来，这里可不适合谈情说爱，就在不远之处，还可以看见法宝飞舞……众弟子正在追杀，侥幸存活的域外天魔。
Seeing Lin Xuan turn his head, the girls hastily put on serious expressions and bowed to him: "Disciples bowing to Master."
ér qiě jǐ gè tú ér yě zài yī páng kàn zhe 。
而且几个徒儿也在一旁看着。
"Indeed. You all did well; you are very brave. Let's return to the main hall first," said Lin Xuan, scratching his nose and putting aside his embarrassment. He adopted a stern teacher-like demeanor.
jiàn lín xuān huí guò tóu lú ， jǐ gè yā tou máng shōu qǐ yī liǎn de xī xiào zhī sè ， biàn dé yī běn zhèng jīng le ， chōng lín xuān dào le yī shēng wàn fú ：“ tú ér cān jiàn shī fù 。”
见林轩回过头颅，几个丫头忙收起一脸的嬉笑之色，变得一本正经了，冲林轩道了一声万福：“徒儿参见师傅。”
"Yes, Master," they replied in unison.
“ ń ， nǐ men zuò dé bù cuò ， dōu hěn yǒng gǎn ， zhè yàng ， wǒ men xiān huí zǒng duò 。”
“嗯，你们做得不错，都很勇敢，这样，我们先回总舵。”
The girls had no objections, so everyone used their light travel techniques to head towards the distant battle.
lín xuān mō le mō bí zi ， yā xià xīn zhōng de gān gà zhī sè ， yī fù yán shī mú yàng de kāi kǒu le 。
林轩摸了摸鼻子，压下心中的尴尬之色，一副严师模样的开口了。
Although not all域外天魔 were defeated, those left behind were easy targets for the many disciples. They easily cleared them one by one.
“ shì 。”
“是。”
Such minor matters did not require his attention as a Supreme Elder.
jǐ nǚ zì rán bú huì yǒu yì yì ， yú shì zhòng rén dùn guāng yì qǐ ， cháo zhe yuǎn chù jī shè ér qù 。
几女自然不会有异议，于是众人遁光一起，朝着远处激射而去。
...
yù wài tiān mó suī rán méi yǒu quán bù yǔn luò ， dàn shèng xià de ， yǐ shì bù nán duì fù ， zhòng dì zǐ zhàng zhe rén duō ， hěn róng yì jiù néng jiāng tā men yī yī qīng chú 。
域外天魔虽然没有全部陨落，但剩下的，已是不难对付，众弟子仗着人多，很容易就能将他们一一清除。
Soon, they returned to a grand building.
xiē xǔ xiǎo shì ， zì rán bù yòng zì jǐ zhè wèi tài shàng zhǎng lǎo cāo xīn le 。
些许小事，自然不用自己这位太上长老操心了。
Though Cloud Concealment Sect had suffered a major defeat, Lin Xuan's swift return meant that only the outer regions were affected, and the core of the sect remained intact. Everything was in order.
……
……
However, most of the remaining cultivators there were weak and anxiously awaited news. Hence, they cheered upon seeing Lin Xuan and his companions return.
hěn kuài huí dào le yī zuò huī hóng de jiàn zhù 。
很快回到了一座恢宏的建筑。
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
yún yǐn zōng gāng gāng suī dà bài kuī shū ， dàn yóu yú lín xuān hěn kuài jiù gǎn le huí lái ， suǒ yǐ duì fāng sì lüè de dì diǎn ， zhǐ yào shì jí zhōng zài biān yuán ， zōng mén shēn chù ， jī hū méi yǒu shòu dào rèn hé pò huài 。
云隐宗刚刚虽大败亏输，但由于林轩很快就赶了回来，所以对方肆掠的地点，只要是集中在边缘，宗门深处，几乎没有受到任何破坏。
Lin Xuan and company comforted them briefly before entering the grand hall.
yī qiè yī jiù jǐng jǐng yǒu tiáo 。
一切依旧井井有条。
They took their seats at the main position, where attendants served them wine and fruit: "Junior Brother Lin, this time, it was all thanks to you. Otherwise, our sect's main hall would be in chaos..."
bù guò liú shǒu de xiū xiān zhě ， dà duō shí lì hěn ruò ， zài nà lǐ tǎn tè de děng dài zhe jié guǒ 。
不过留守的修仙者，大多实力很弱，在那里忐忑的等待着结果。
The silver-eyed maiden bowed to Lin Xuan and thanked him earnestly.
gù ér zài kàn jiàn lín xuān děng rén guī lái hòu dōu fā chū yī zhèn huān hū 。
故而在看见林轩等人归来后都发出一阵欢呼。
Lin Xuan hurriedly raised his hand to stop her: "Senior Sister, please rise. You are saying too much. As a cultivator of Cloud Concealment Sect, it is my duty to contribute to the sect. There's no need for gratitude."
rén rén dà sōng le yì kǒu qì 。
人人大松了一口气。
"No, I truly mean it," said Senior Sister. "Without Junior Brother Lin, how could our sect have achieved such success? Here, there is something I wish to request."
lín xuān děng rén ān fǔ le jǐ jù ， suí hòu lái dào nà huī hóng de dà diàn lǐ 。
林轩等人安抚了几句，随后来到那恢宏的大殿里。
"Senior Sister, please speak your mind."
zài zhǔ wèi shàng luò zuò ， zì yǒu shì nǚ sòng shàng měi jiǔ guā guǒ ：“ lín shī dì ， zhè cì duō kuī le nǐ ， fǒu zé běn mén zǒng duò ， xiàn zài yǐ shì yī piàn xīng fēng xuè yǔ le ……”
在主位上落座，自有侍女送上美酒瓜果：“林师弟，这次多亏了你，否则本门总舵，现在已是一片腥风血雨了……”
"Now that you are the leader of the Immortal Alliance, it would be inappropriate for me to remain as the Supreme Elder of Cloud Concealment Sect. Therefore..."
yín tóng shào nǚ chōng lín xuān yī fú ， jū rán zhèng ér zhòng zhī de dào xiè qǐ lái le 。
银瞳少女冲林轩一福，居然郑而重之的道谢起来了。
Seeing Lin Xuan about to speak, the silver-eyed maiden waved her hand: "Junior Brother, let me finish. I understand that you do not enjoy handling sect affairs, but this title is merely a formality. If you are unwilling, I can take over these duties; however, it would be improper without your name."
lín xuān máng tái shǒu xū fú ：“ shī jiě qǐng qǐ ， nǐ zhè shì shuō nǎ lǐ huà lái ， lín mǒu jì rán shì yún yǐn zōng de xiū xiān zhě ， wèi běn mén chū lì ， nà shì fèn shǔ yīng dāng de ， hé lái dào xiè yī shuō ， shī jiě zhè yàng zuò ， kě zhēn de shì zhé shā xiǎo dì le 。”
林轩忙抬手虚扶：“师姐请起，你这是说哪里话来，林某既然是云隐宗的修仙者，为本门出力，那是份属应当的，何来道谢一说，师姐这样做，可真的是折杀小弟了。”
Lin Xuan sighed. Senior Sister had made her point clearly. Pushing further would be unreasonable.
“ bù ， yú jiě xiàng nǐ dào xiè ， nǎi shì zhēn xīn shí yì ， ruò méi yǒu lín shī dì nǐ ， yún yǐn zōng hé lái jīn rì de fēng guāng yǔ lì luò ， zài zhè lǐ ， wǒ yǒu yī shì xiāng qiú 。”
“不，愚姐像你道谢，乃是真心实意，若没有林师弟你，云隐宗何来今日的风光与利落，在这里，我有一事相求。”
It was just a title after all; why make things difficult for her?
“ shī jiě qǐng shuō 。”
“师姐请说。”
"Alright, if Senior Sister has said so, then this junior brother can only comply," Lin Xuan nodded reluctantly.
“ shī dì nǐ rú jīn ， yǐ shì xiān dào méng zhī zhǔ ， zài yóu wǒ zuò zhè yún yǐn zōng de dà zhǎng lǎo zhī wèi ， jiù yǒu xiē bù hé shì le ， suǒ yǐ ……”
“师弟你如今，已是仙道盟之主，再由我做这云隐宗的大长老之位，就有些不合适了，所以……”
"That's wonderful. I will announce it to the entire sect shortly. From now on, Junior Brother is Cloud Concealment Sect's Supreme Elder."
jiàn lín xuān yù kāi kǒu ， yín tóng shào nǚ xiān bǎi le bǎi shǒu ：“ shī dì qiě tīng wǒ shuō wán ， wǒ zhī dào yǐ nǐ de xìng gé ， bìng bù xǐ huān chǔ lǐ zōng mén shì wù ， méi guān xì ， zhè dà zhǎng lǎo zhǐ shì xū xián ， shī dì ruò shì bù yuàn ， zōng mén shì wù ， hái shì kě yǐ yóu wǒ dài láo ， zhǐ shì míng bù zhèng zé yán bù shùn ， yǐ shī dì rú jīn de gōng láo yǔ shēng wàng ， ruò zài bù dāng běn mén de dà zhǎng lǎo ， wǒ dān xīn ……”
见林轩欲开口，银瞳少女先摆了摆手：“师弟且听我说完，我知道以你的性格，并不喜欢处理宗门事务，没关系，这大长老只是虚衔，师弟若是不愿，宗门事务，还是可以由我代劳，只是名不正则言不顺，以师弟如今的功劳与声望，若再不当本门的大长老，我担心……”
The silver-eyed maiden was overjoyed. She had expected more persuasion from Lin Xuan but found his agreement unexpected and pleasing.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， shī jiě huà yǐ shuō dé qīng chǔ míng bái yǐ jí ， ruò zài tuī cí ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， dōu yǒu xiē shuō bù guò qù 。
林轩叹了口气，师姐话已说得清楚明白以极，若再推辞，于情于理，都有些说不过去。
With her goal achieved, she began chatting with him about his experiences at the Immortal Alliance Conference.
fǎn zhèng zhǐ shì yí gè xū míng ér yǐ ， hé bì ràng shī jiě jì xù wéi nán xià qù 。
反正只是一个虚名而已，何必让师姐继续为难下去。
Ouyang Qinxin's expression mirrored his. Women are naturally curious.
“ hǎo ba ， shī jiě jì rán shuō dé qīng chǔ ， nà xiǎo dì yě zhǐ néng gōng jìng bù rú cóng mìng 。” lín xuān wú nài de diǎn le diǎn tóu lú 。
“好吧，师姐既然说得清楚，那小弟也只能恭敬不如从命。”林轩无奈的点了点头颅。
Lin Xuan did not hide anything, speaking freely.
“ rú cǐ shèn hǎo ， wǒ yī huì er ， jiù huì qù xiàng quán pài xuān bù ， cóng cǐ yǐ hòu ， shī dì jiù shì wǒ yún yǐn zōng ， dāng zhī wú kuì de dà zhǎng lǎo le 。”
“如此甚好，我一会儿，就会去像全派宣布，从此以后，师弟就是我云隐宗，当之无愧的大长老了。”
The girls listened intently; their journey to Eastern Prosperity Kingdom was indeed an exciting experience.
yín tóng shào nǚ dà xǐ ， yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé ， yuán běn yǐ wéi hái yào fèi yī fān kǒu shé ， méi xiǎng dào tā zhè me qīng yì jiù dā yìng le 。
银瞳少女大喜，以林轩的性格，原本以为还要费一番口舌，没想到他这么轻易就答应了。
After a brief chat, Lin Xuan excused himself and returned with Ouyang Qinxin to the cave dwelling.
mù dì jì yǐ dá dào ， cǐ nǚ xīn qíng zì shì jí hǎo ， yú shì kāi shǐ xián liáo ， xiàng lín xuān xún wèn cǐ qù cān jiā xiān méng dà huì de jīng guò 。
目的既已达到，此女心情自是极好，于是开始闲聊，像林轩询问此去参加仙盟大会的经过。
Warmth and the novelty of being apart for some time brought them joy.
yī páng qín xīn de biǎo qíng yě chà bu duō ， nǚ rén ma ， hào qí xīn dōu shì fēi cháng zhòng de 。
一旁琴心的表情也差不多，女人嘛，好奇心都是非常重的。
Over the next few days, Lin Xuan enjoyed his leisure. Although he had become the leader of the Immortal Alliance, fighting域外天魔 was not a quick process.
lín xuān yě bù yǐn mán ， zhī wú bù yán 。
林轩也不隐瞒，知无不言。
Time would be needed to prepare for reclaiming lost territories. Yet, despite this respite, Lin Xuan did not find it as enjoyable as expected. Cloud Concealment Sect was now safe, but where was Yue'er?
jǐ nǚ zì rán tīng dé jīn jīn yǒu wèi yǐ jí ， bì jìng cǐ qù dōng yù guó ， shì fēi cháng jīng cǎi de jīng lì 。
几女自然听得津津有味以极，毕竟此去东裕国，是非常精彩的经历。
Recalling his hundred-year delay while pursuing the precious snake and entering a mysterious space, he found her absence disconcerting.
jiù zhè yàng ， xián liáo le piàn kè ， lín xuān qǐ shēn gào cí ， yǔ ōu yáng qín xīn yì qǐ huí dào le dòng fǔ lǐ 。
就这样，闲聊了片刻，林轩起身告辞，与欧阳琴心一起回到了洞府里。
The world had changed since then; she could be in danger. With Yue'er's current strength and Butterfly by her side, it should not be difficult for her to break through the void to Dragon Realm. Yet, after so much time, there was still no news from her.
wēn chún qiě bù tí ， xiǎo bié shèng xīn hūn nǎi shì dà jiā dōu dǒng dì 。
温纯且不提，小别胜新婚乃是大家都懂地。
This was indeed strange.
jiē xià lái de shù rì ， lín xuān dào yě guò dé xiāo yáo kuài huó ， suī rán zuò shàng le xiān dào méng méng zhǔ ， dàn fǎn jī yù wài tiān mó ， bìng fēi yī zhāo yī xī 。
接下来的数日，林轩倒也过得逍遥快活，虽然做上了仙道盟盟主，但反击域外天魔，并非一朝一夕。
The only explanation was that she had encountered trouble.
lái rì fāng cháng ， jiù suàn yào shōu fú shī dì ， yě shì yǒu dà liàng gōng zuò xū yào hǎo hǎo zhǔn bèi yī fān dì 。
来日方长，就算要收服失地，也是有大量工作需要好好准备一番地。
Lin Xuan wished he could fly to Yue'er's side but did not know where his beloved wife was.
nán dé qīng xián de rì zi ， dàn lín xuān què bìng méi yǒu xiǎng xiàng de nà me kuài huó ， yún yǐn zōng rú jīn yǐ zhuǎn wēi wéi ān le ， kě yuè ér yòu shēn zài hé chù ？
难得清闲的日子，但林轩却并没有想象的那么快活，云隐宗如今已转危为安了，可月儿又身在何处？
The spirit realm was vast with numerous interfaces. Even if he had the ability to traverse everything, finding her would be impossible.
dāng chū zhuī shā bǎo shé ， zì jǐ wù rù shén mì kōng jiān ， zhè yī dān gē jiù shì bǎi nián 。
当初追杀宝蛇，自己误入神秘空间，这一耽搁就是百年。
Waiting seemed to be the only option, though it was a difficult one. Describing it as an ordeal might be accurate, yet what else could he do?
chū lái hòu wù shì rén fēi ， yuè ér yǐ shì fāng zōng liǎo wú 。
出来后物是人非，月儿已是芳踪了无。
He could only hope for good fortune.
suī shuō xiǎo yā tou jīn fēi xī bǐ ， yě jìn jiē dào le dù jié qī ， yòu yǒu xiǎo dié péi zài shēn cè ， àn dào lǐ ， shì bù fáng shì de 。
虽说小丫头今非昔比，也进阶到了渡劫期，又有小蝶陪在身侧，按道理，是不妨事的。
Fortunately, his strength and close relationship with Yue'er meant that if anything happened to her, he would feel it in his heart.
dàn xiū xiān jiè de biàn huàn ， shuí yòu shuō dé qīng chǔ ， tè bié rú jīn nǎi shì fēi cháng shí kè ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， dào chù dōu shì yù wài tiān mó ， yuè ér bù zài shēn cè ， lín xuān yòu zěn me kě néng zhēn de fàng xīn ne ？
但修仙界的变幻，谁又说得清楚，特别如今乃是非常时刻，放眼望去，到处都是域外天魔，月儿不在身侧，林轩又怎么可能真的放心呢？
Still, this did not bring him peace. How could he find her?
guān jiàn shì ， yuè ér zhǎo bú dào zì jǐ ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， dōu yīng gāi huí yún yǐn zōng lái dǎ tàn yī xià xiāo xī ， yǐ tā yǔ xiǎo dié de shí lì ， pò kāi xū kōng ， dào nài lóng jiè bìng bù nán dì 。
关键是，月儿找不到自己，于情于理，都应该回云隐宗来打探一下消息，以她与小蝶的实力，破开虚空，到鼐龙界并不难地。
This question left Lin Xuan scratching his head. It was like a skilled cook struggling without ingredients.
kě zhè me jiǔ guò qù ， què yì zhí méi yǒu xiāo xī 。
可这么久过去，却一直没有消息。
The only choice seemed to be patient waiting.
zhè yì diǎn ， zhe shí lìng rén chà yì 。
这一点，着实令人诧异。
A dozen days later, an unexpected guest arrived at Cloud Concealment Sect.
"Never mind, we have plenty of time. With your talent, you will surely catch up to me one day."
Lin Xuan sighed, saying words that he himself did not entirely believe, but it was a kind lie. After all, his wife's mood was low, and he should at least try to comfort her.
"Alright, I was just teasing," said Ouyang Qinxin.
How could she not know that Lin Xuan had good intentions? Actually, the pursuit of cultivation meant very little to her. As long as she remained by her husband's side forever, she felt content.
Previously, she had pursued immortality on the path of cultivation, but now that she was married, her mindset had changed. She only wished to be with him for eternity, not aspiring after immortals.
"Ahem..."
The two were lost in their affection when the silver-eyed maiden beside them could no longer bear to watch. She gently coughed, and Lin Xuan and Ouyang Qinxin paused. They quickly realized that they should not be talking about such matters here, as several disciples could still be seen fighting the remaining域外天魔.
