yě nán guài lín xuān huì gǎn jué chà yì ， yào zhī dào zhè yī cì ， kě bú shì zì jǐ yí gè rén miàn duì qiáng dí ， nài lóng zhēn rén yě zài nà lǐ 。,
也难怪林轩会感觉诧异，要知道这一次，可不是自己一个人面对强敌，鼐龙真人也在那里。,
It was no wonder Lin Xuan felt surprised. This time, it wasn't just him facing a powerful opponent; Neidong True Man was also there.
duì le ， hái yǒu nà zhǐ xiǎo hú lí 。
对了，还有那只小狐狸。
By the way, there was that little fox as well.
kě kāi dǎ le zhè me jiǔ ， nà liǎng rén què zhè me bú jiàn zōng jì 。
可开打了这么久，那两人却这么不见踪迹。
But after such a long battle, those two remained nowhere to be seen.
lín xuān chú le jīng qí hái shì jīng qí ， nán dào àn chù ， hái yǐn cáng zhe bié de qiáng dí ， jiāng cǐ èr rén gěi chán zhù ， suǒ yǐ tā men téng bù chū shǒu lái duì fù mò yǔ 。
林轩除了惊奇还是惊奇，难道暗处，还隐藏着别的强敌，将此二人给缠住，所以他们腾不出手来对付墨羽。
Lin Xuan was nothing but astonished. Could there be other formidable enemies lurking in the shadows, tying up these two so they couldn't spare their hands for Mo Yu?
zhè ge niàn tou zài nǎo hǎi zhōng zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān suí zhī huí guò tóu lú 。
这个念头在脑海中转过，林轩随之回过头颅。
This thought flashed through his mind before Lin Xuan turned around.
rán ér rù mù suǒ jí ， què qì dé tā chà diǎn yī kǒu lǎo xuè pēn le chū qù 。
然而入目所及，却气得他差点一口老血喷了出去。
However, what met his eyes almost made him spit out a mouthful of old blood.
nǎ lǐ yǒu shén me qiáng dí 。
哪里有什么强敌。
There were no formidable enemies at all. Neidong True Man was lounging there with an air of leisure.
nài lóng zhēn rén hào zhěng yǐ xiá de zài nà lǐ 。
鼐龙真人好整以暇的在那里。
Above the sky, a flying boat had appeared without him noticing it earlier. Actually, calling it a pleasure barge might be more fitting.
tiān kōng zhōng ， bù zhī hé shí ， duō chū le yī zhī fēi zhōu 。
天空中，不知何时，多出了一只飞舟。
This pleasure barge was extraordinarily luxurious; he had seen one like it before, made entirely from Nourishing Spirit Wood. It was already a remarkable treasure in itself.
bú duì ， jiǎng chéng huà fǎng huò xǔ yào gèng jiā de shì hé 。
不对，讲成画舫或许要更加的适合。
Several stunningly beautiful women were singing and dancing on the bow of the boat. But upon closer inspection, they turned out to be puppets, crafted with such high skill that they looked almost indistinguishable from real people.
cǐ huà fǎng huá lì dào jí chù ， zì jǐ yǐ qián yě jiàn guò ， tōng tǐ dōu shì yòng yǎng shén mù liàn zhì de 。
此画舫华丽到极处，自己以前也见过，通体都是用养神木炼制的。
Neidong True Man sat grandly at the bow, savoring fine fruits and wine while watching Lin Xuan's battle against Mo Yu. Beside him, the little fox with a missing arm was serving him drinks.
běn shēn biàn shì yī bù fán de bǎo wù 。
本身便是一不凡的宝物。
This… this was too infuriating.
chuán tóu shàng ， yǒu jǐ míng jué sè měi nǚ zài nà lǐ zài gē zài wǔ ， bù guò zǐ xì yī kàn ， yuán lái dōu shì kuǐ lěi zhī wù ， zhǐ bù guò liàn zhì de shǒu fǎ gāo míng yǐ jí ， kàn shàng qù yǔ zhēn rén jī hū shì wéi miào wéi xiào dì 。
船头上，有几名绝色美女在那里载歌载舞，不过仔细一看，原来都是傀儡之物，只不过炼制的手法高明以极，看上去与真人几乎是惟妙惟肖地。
Lin Xuan’s composure was good enough, but he couldn’t help cursing his sworn brother.
ér nài lóng zhēn rén zé dà mú dà yàng de zuò zài chuán tóu ， yī biān pǐn cháng zhe měi jiǔ guā guǒ ， yī biān guān shǎng zhe zì jǐ yǔ mò yǔ de jué dòu 。
而鼐龙真人则大模大样的坐在船头，一边品尝着美酒瓜果，一边观赏着自己与墨羽的决斗。
Had they gone mad? Wasn't he fighting for their lives while he was here enjoying himself?
páng biān ， nà duàn le yī bì de xiǎo hú lí zhèng zài tì tā zhēn jiǔ 。
旁边，那断了一臂的小狐狸正在替他斟酒。
Although he knew Neidong wasn’t reliable, he never imagined it would be so outlandish.
zhè …… zhè yě tài qì rén le 。
这……这也太气人了。
They had promised to share both joys and sorrows when they became brothers, hadn't they?
lín xuān de hán yǎng gōng fu suàn shì bù cuò ， cǐ shí rěn bú zhù yě yào zhòu mà zì jǐ de jié bài dà gē 。
林轩的涵养功夫算是不错，此时忍不住也要咒骂自己的结拜大哥。
"Brother!" Lin Xuan's eyebrows twitched as he struggled not to slash Neidong with a sword. "Are you enjoying yourself while I'm fighting for our lives?"
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， zì jǐ zài zhè lǐ pīn sǐ pīn huó ， tā què zài nà lǐ wán huā qián yuè xià de bǎ xì me ？
有没有搞错，自己在这里拼死拼活，他却在那里玩花前月下的把戏么？
"Brother, your words are misplaced," Neidong True Man said without any shame. He popped a peanut into his mouth and looked smug. "I see potential in you; your progress has been rapid over the years. That's why I wanted to help you."
suī rán zhī dào nài lóng zuò shì bù kào pǔ ér ， dàn yě wàn wàn xiǎng bú dào ， jū rán lí pǔ dào zhè bān chéng dù 。
虽然知道鼐龙做事不靠谱儿，但也万万想不到，居然离谱到这般程度。
"Help me?"
dāng nián jié bài shí shuō hǎo de yǒu fú tóng xiǎng yǒu nán tóng dāng ne ？
当年结拜时说好的有福同享有难同当呢？
Lin Xuan’s retort came out through gritted teeth.
“ dà gē ！”
“大哥！”
"Yes, good mentors and friends are hard to come by, but a worthy opponent is equally precious," Neidong said with a grin. "Although Mo Yu might seem arrogant and boring, his strength is impressive. If I weren't your sworn brother, I wouldn’t have let this opportunity pass me by. I would have made him my test subject long ago."
lín xuān méi máo luàn tiào ， fèi le hǎo dà de yì lì cái méi yǒu yī jiàn cháo zhe nài lóng zhǎn luò ：“ nǐ zài nà lǐ xiāo sǎ kuài huó ， kàn zhe xiǎo dì zài zhè lǐ yǔ bié rén pīn mìng me ？”
林轩眉毛乱跳，费了好大的毅力才没有一剑朝着鼐龙斩落：“你在那里潇洒快活，看着小弟在这里与别人拼命么？”
"But as an elder brother, I can't compete with you," he continued. "So whatever benefits come from this, I’ll give them to you first. Heh, third brother, don’t thank me; it’s what a big brother should do."
“ xián dì cǐ yán chà yǐ ， wǒ kàn nǐ gǔ gé qīng qí ， zhè xiē nián jìn bù yě shì shén sù ， suǒ yǐ yǒu yì chéng quán nǐ 。” nài lóng zhēn rén liǎn shàng háo wú xiū kuì zhī yì 。 yǎng tóu chī le yī lì huā shēng mǐ ， yáng yáng dé yì 。
“贤弟此言差矣，我看你骨骼清奇，这些年进步也是神速，所以有意成全你。”鼐龙真人脸上毫无羞愧之意。仰头吃了一粒花生米，洋洋得意。
Neidong's sincere and kind expression made Lin Xuan want to spit in his face. He had never seen such an unscrupulous cultivator.
“ yǒu yì chéng quán wǒ ？”
“有意成全我？”
"So you’re thanking me for my sacrifice?"
lín xuān zhè jù fǎn wèn suàn shì cóng yá fèng lǐ bèng chū 。
林轩这具反问算是从牙缝里蹦出。
"Indeed, that makes sense," Neidong said. "But we don’t need to be so formal about gratitude. As your big brother, it’s only natural I should take care of you. You don’t have to thank me; in the future, think of me when you get good wine and beautiful women."
“ bù cuò ， yào zhī dào liáng shī yì yǒu nán dé ， hǎo de duì shǒu ， yī yàng shì zhēn guì yǐ jí de ， zhè jiào mò yǔ de bèn dàn suī rán zì dà wú liáo ， dàn shí lì yě pǒ yǒu kě quān kě diǎn zhī chù ， ruò nǐ bú shì wǒ de jié bài xiōng dì ， zhè me hǎo de jī huì ， dà gē wǒ qǐ huì qīng yì ràng nǐ 。 zǎo jiù ràng tā zuò le wǒ zì jǐ de shì dāo shí 。”
“不错，要知道良师益友难得，好的对手，一样是珍贵以极的，这叫墨羽的笨蛋虽然自大无聊，但实力也颇有可圈可点之处，若你不是我的结拜兄弟，这么好的机会，大哥我岂会轻易让你。早就让他做了我自己的试刀石。”
Lin Xuan was speechless but wasn't truly angry.
“ dàn wéi rén xiōng zhǎng ma ， zǒng bù néng yǔ xiǎo dì zhēng de ， suǒ yǐ yǒu shén me hǎo chù ， wǒ dōu xiān ràng gěi nǐ ， hēi ， sān dì ， nǐ bù yòng gǎn jī wǒ ， zhè dōu shì dà gē wǒ yīng gāi zuò 。”
“但为人兄长嘛，总不能与小弟争的，所以有什么好处，我都先让给你，嘿，三弟，你不用感激我，这都是大哥我应该做。”
He understood Neidong's nature well enough. If he weren't his sworn brother, Neidong wouldn't have offered to leave with him after the Peach Banquet, despite being a target for everyone’s arrows at that time.
nài lóng zhēn rén yī fù zhēn chéng shàn liáng de shén sè ， qì dé lín xuān dōu xiǎng yào jiāng tuò mò xīng zi pēn tā yī liǎn le 。 jiàn guò wú chǐ de xiū xiān zhě ， méi jiàn guò shuí wú chǐ dào zhè bān chéng dù 。
鼐龙真人一副真诚善良的神色，气得林轩都想要将唾沫星子喷他一脸了。见过无耻的修仙者，没见过谁无耻到这般程度。
Neidong taking such risks showed how much he valued their bond.
“ zhè me shuō dà gē ， xiǎo dì wǒ hái yào gǎn xiè nǐ de rěn tòng gē ài le ？”
“这么说大哥，小弟我还要感谢你的忍痛割爱了？”
But right now… sigh, he could only blame Neidong's outlandish behavior. Although Neidong's words were outrageous, they weren't entirely without merit. A worthy opponent was indeed invaluable to a cultivator; in evenly matched battles, one could gain deeper insights into their abilities. And perhaps there would be breakthroughs during life-and-death struggles.
“ ń ， dào lǐ shì zhè yàng méi cuò 。 bù guò wǒ men xiōng dì shuō shén me xiè bù xiè kě jiù sú le ， zuò dà gē de nǎ néng bù zhào gù xiǎo xiōng dì ne ， nǐ bù yòng gǎn jī wǒ ， yǐ hòu yǒu shén me měi jiǔ měi nǚ yě duō xiǎng xiǎng nǐ dà gē 。”
“嗯，道理是这样没错。不过我们兄弟说什么谢不谢可就俗了，做大哥的哪能不照顾小兄弟呢，你不用感激我，以后有什么美酒美女也多想想你大哥。”
But if Neidong only acted out of pure kindness… he was too lazy!
lín xuān wú yǔ 。 dàn shuō shí huà yě méi yǒu zhēn de shēng qì 。
林轩无语。但说实话也没有真的生气。
Lazy to fight, maybe he thought Lin Xuan alone against Mo Yu was enough to handle the situation.
nài lóng de xìng zi tā hái shì hěn liǎo jiě dì ， ruò zhēn bù ná zì jǐ dāng xiōng dì ， dāng nián pán táo huì jié shù 。 yě bú huì zhǔ dòng tí chū ， yǔ zì jǐ yì qǐ lí kāi le 。
鼐龙的性子他还是很了解地，若真不拿自己当兄弟，当年蟠桃会结束。也不会主动提出，与自己一起离开了。
Watching and waiting was far more enjoyable than engaging in battle.
yào zhī dào ， nà shí ， zì jǐ kě shì zhòng shǐ zhī dì ， nài lóng zhè me zuò ， yào mào bù shǎo fēng xiǎn dì 。
要知道，那时，自己可是众矢之的，鼐龙这么做，要冒不少风险地。
Let third brother deal with it.
xuě zhōng sòng tàn ， zú jiàn tā hěn kàn zhòng jié yì zhī qíng 。
雪中送炭，足见他很看重结义之情。
After his anger subsided, this explanation made sense. Neidong had no malicious intent, and he wouldn’t abandon him if there were real dangers. But that didn't make Lin Xuan any happier.
zhǐ shì yǎn qián me …… āi ， zhǐ néng yòng xíng shì chū rén yì biǎo lái zuò tuī tuō 。
只是眼前么……唉，只能用行事出人意表来做推脱。
Lin Xuan was a strong cultivator who liked to control everything himself. Meeting such an unreliable elder brother who acted on whims and broke the rules left him feeling like he was being led by the nose.
nài lóng zhè fān huà suī rán lí pǔ ， dàn zǐ xì xiǎng xiǎng ， yě bìng fēi zhēn de dào lǐ quán wú ， hǎo de duì shǒu duì yú xiū xiān zhě lái shuō ， què shí yǒu mò dà yòng chǔ ， zài shì jūn lì dí de jué zhàn zhōng duì shén tōng néng yǒu gèng tòu chè de lǐng wù ， shēng sǐ yī xiàn zhōng ， shuō bù dìng hái néng yǒu suǒ tū pò 。
鼐龙这番话虽然离谱，但仔细想想，也并非真的道理全无，好的对手对于修仙者来说，确实有莫大用处，在势均力敌的决战中对神通能有更透彻的领悟，生死一线中，说不定还能有所突破。
He might as well be playing with them, but at least Neidong wasn’t malicious. Otherwise, Lin Xuan would have been dead long ago.
zhè ge dào lǐ méi cuò ， dàn ruò yī wèi nài lóng zhēn rén chún cuì hǎo xīn jiù tài tiān zhēn le 。
这个道理没错，但若一味鼐龙真人纯粹好心就太天真了。
Cleverness in simplicity!
zhè jiā huo shuō chuān le jiù yí gè zì …… lǎn ！
这家伙说穿了就一个字……懒！
His elder brother appeared carefree on the surface, but his intelligence and strength truly impressed him. Even Rain桐 Fairy couldn't match him; among scattered immortals and demon kings, few could compare to Neidong True Man’s abilities.
lǎn de dòng shǒu ， huò xǔ zài tā kàn lái ， yǎn qián de mò yǔ ， lín xuān yí gè rén ， yǐ jīng zú yǐ yìng fù 。
懒得动手，或许在他看来，眼前的墨羽，林轩一个人，已经足以应付。
In that moment, Lin Xuan had a sudden realization, while Mo Yu was left speechless by Neidong's actions.
yǔ qí èr dǎ yī ， bù rú xiù shǒu páng gù 。
与其二打一，不如袖手旁顾。
Was this guy an idiot? How could he be drinking wine in the face of such powerful enemies?
hē jiǔ guān shǎng ， duō me xiāo yáo kuài huó 。
喝酒观赏，多么逍遥快活。
Didn't he fear being picked off one by one?
má fán jiù ràng sān dì qù jiě jué hǎo le 。
麻烦就让三弟去解决好了。
Mo Yu was no ordinary cultivator; he had lived for countless years. But seeing someone so bizarre was truly unprecedented.
lín xuān zài qì nǎo guò hòu ， zhè yī jié ， yě jiù hěn róng yì xiǎng qīng chǔ 。
林轩在气恼过后，这一节，也就很容易想清楚。
Despite his astonishment, Mo Yu felt relieved.
dà gē shì méi yǒu è yì de 。
大哥是没有恶意的。
These two lowly beings weren’t as weak as they seemed. On the contrary, both were exceptionally formidable.
ér qiě zì jǐ yǒu wēi xiǎn tā yě bú huì zhēn de bù guǎn bù gù 。
而且自己有危险他也不会真的不管不顾。
Lin Xuan was already struggling to keep up with one of them. If there were two… he didn't want to admit it, but the truth couldn't be denied; he might not withstand their combined efforts.
dàn huà shì zhè yàng méi cuò ， lín xuān xīn zhōng ， hái shì bù shuǎng yǐ jí 。
但话是这样没错，林轩心中，还是不爽以极。
Their actions were so outlandish that despite feeling slighted, they also gave him an opportunity to pick them off one by one.
lín xuān yě shì hěn qiáng shì de xiū xiān zhě ， xǐ huān wàn shì jiē yóu zì jǐ zhǎng wò ， rán ér pèng jiàn zhè me yī bù kào pǔ ér de dà gē ， xíng shì zǒng shì suí xīn suǒ yù ， chū pái yě bù àn cháng lǐ ， lín xuān gǎn jué jiù xiàng bèi tā qiān zhe bí zi 。
林轩也是很强势的修仙者，喜欢万事皆由自己掌握，然而碰见这么一不靠谱儿的大哥，行事总是随心所欲，出牌也不按常理，林轩感觉就像被他牵着鼻子。
Just then, Lin Xuan turned his head and met Mo Yu's gaze. Both of them had a cold murderous intent in their eyes.
shuō wán nòng yú gǔ zhǎng zhī shàng yě bù wèi guò ， xìng hǎo nài lóng shì zì jǐ de dà gē ， bìng wú è yì ， fǒu zé zì jǐ shuō bù dìng yǐ biàn chéng le yī jù shī tǐ 。
说玩弄于鼓掌之上也不为过，幸好鼐龙是自己的大哥，并无恶意，否则自己说不定已变成了一具尸体。
Lin Xuan was helpless after being toyed with by Neidong, but the current Mo Yu could easily play the role of a scapegoat.
dà zhì ruò yú ！
大智若愚！
Mo Yu, after a series of probing attacks and exchanges, had also put aside his contempt.
zì jǐ zhè wèi dà gē ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， shì wán shì bù gōng méi cuò ， dàn xīn zhì shí lì ， dàng zhēn lìng rén zhé fú ， yǔ tóng xiān zi bù gǎn shuō ， sàn xiān yāo wáng zhōng de qí tā rén wù ， yǔ tā xiāng bǐ ， kǒng pà gēn běn jiù yuǎn yuǎn bù jí 。
自己这位大哥，表面上看，是玩世不恭没错，但心智实力，当真令人折服，雨桐仙子不敢说，散仙妖王中的其他人物，与他相比，恐怕根本就远远不及。
He wanted to take advantage of Neidong's carelessness to eliminate Lin Xuan first.
lín xuān zài zhè yī kè yǒu le míng wù ， ér mò yǔ yě wèi nài lóng zhēn rén de jǔ dòng ， ér mù dèng kǒu dāi diào le 。
林轩在这一刻有了明悟，而墨羽也为鼐龙真人的举动，而目瞪口呆掉了。
Both seemed to sense each other’s intentions.
zhè jiā huo shì bái chī me ， miàn duì qiáng dí ， jū rán zài nà lǐ hē qǐ jiǔ lái le 。
这家伙是白痴么，面对强敌，居然在那里喝起酒来了。
A powerful gale arose.
nán dào tā jiù bù pà zì jǐ gè gè jī pò ？
难道他就不怕自己各个击破？
This wasn’t the aftermath of a magical battle; it was merely their mutual killing intent colliding, creating sharp gales.
mò yǔ zì tǎo yě shì huó liǎo wú shù suì yuè de xiū xiān zhě ， rán ér zhè me qí pā de jiā huo dàng zhēn bù céng jiàn guò 。
墨羽自讨也是活了无数岁月的修仙者，然而这么奇葩的家伙当真不曾见过。
Lin Xuan sighed. If his elder brother had helped him, he wouldn't have had such a hard time. But since Neidong chose to watch and wait, there was no point in feeling down.
dàn chà yì guī chà yì ， xīn zhōng qí shí yě shì pǒ wèi qìng xìng dì 。
但诧异归诧异，心中其实也是颇为庆幸地。
In the end, everything still depended on himself.
zhè liǎng gè xià jiè de lóu yǐ bìng fēi xiǎng xiàng de nà me ruò ， qià qià xiāng fǎn ， tā men dōu qiáng dé lí pǔ 。
这两个下界的蝼蚁并非想象的那么弱，恰恰相反，他们都强得离谱。
Lin Xuan reactivated the Nine Palace Mustard Sword in his hand. (To be continued...)
It was no wonder Lin Xuan felt surprised. This time, it wasn't just him facing a powerful opponent; Neidong True Man was also there.
By the way, there was that little fox as well.
But after such a long battle, those two remained nowhere to be seen.

This pleasure barge was extraordinarily luxurious; he had seen one like it before, made entirely from Nourishing Spirit Wood. It was already a remarkable treasure in itself.
Several stunningly beautiful women were singing and dancing on the bow of the boat. But upon closer inspection, they turned out to be puppets, crafted with such high skill that they looked almost indistinguishable from real people.
