“ ā xiū luó wáng què shí méi yǒu dé dào xiāo xī 。&{}.{}.}”
“阿修罗王确实没有得到消息。&{}.{}.}”
"Surely, the Asura King did not receive any news."
yǔ tóng xiān zi tàn le kǒu qì ：“ chéng rú nǐ men suǒ shuō ， zhǐ bāo bú zhù huǒ ， zhè jiàn shì qíng ， zǎo jiù chuán dào yīn sī dì fǔ qù le 。”
雨桐仙子叹了口气：“诚如你们所说，纸包不住火，这件事情，早就传到阴司地府去了。”
Rain桐 Fairy sighed: "As you said, a secret cannot be kept in a paper bag. This matter has long spread to the Netherworld."
“ nà ……” lín xuān yuè tīng yuè shì mí huò ， yuè ér qián shì nǎi shì yīn sī zhī zhǔ ， nán dào hái yǒu rén gǎn jiāng tā méng zài gǔ lǐ me ？
“那……”林轩越听越是迷惑，月儿前世乃是阴司之主，难道还有人敢将她蒙在鼓里么？
"That...?" Lin Xuan grew increasingly puzzled as he listened. Moon's previous life was the ruler of the Netherworld; could anyone dare to keep her in the dark?
yī niàn zhì cǐ ， tā liǎn shàng zì rán lù chū jǐ fēn gǔ guài de shén qì 。
一念至此，他脸上自然露出几分古怪的神气。
With this thought, a peculiar expression appeared on his face.
“ dào yǒu xiǎng cuò le ， shì qíng bìng méi yǒu nà me fán fù ， ā xiū luó wáng zhī suǒ yǐ méi yǒu dé dào xiàn suǒ ， shì yīn wèi tā zhèng zài bì shēng sǐ guān lái zhe 。”
“道友想错了，事情并没有那么繁复，阿修罗王之所以没有得到线索，是因为她正在闭生死关来着。”
"Friend, you are mistaken. The matter is not as complicated as you think. That's because Asura King is currently closing the Life and Death Gate."
lín xuān yī kǒu líng chá pēn chū ， nài lóng děng rén liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yě mǎn shì cuò è ， dōu shuō cōng míng fǎn bèi cōng míng wù ， zhè yī cì ， què shí shì zì jǐ zhè xiē rén jiāng shì qíng xiǎng xiàng dé tài guò lí pǔ 。
林轩一口灵茶喷出，鼐龙等人脸上的表情也满是错愕，都说聪明反被聪明误，这一次，确实是自己这些人将事情想象得太过离谱。
Lin Xuan spat out a sip of spirit tea, while the others' expressions were filled with shock. It was said that cleverness backfires; indeed, they had overcomplicated this matter.
bì shēng sǐ guān ， zuò wèi xiū xiān zhě ， lín xuān dāng rán zhī dào nà yì wèi zhe shén me 。
闭生死关，做为修仙者，林轩当然知道那意味着什么。
Closing the Life and Death Gate meant something significant to cultivators like Lin Xuan. Unlike ordinary seclusion, success would bring immense rewards but could not be disturbed under any circumstances. The transformation of the world and the passage of time made closing such a gate seem mundane. Outside chaos raged, yet Asura King remained oblivious.
nà yǔ pǔ tōng de bì guān bù tóng ， yí dàn chéng gōng ， jiāng yǒu tiān dà de shōu huò ， dàn yě wàn wàn dǎ rǎo bù dé 。
那与普通的闭关不同，一旦成功，将有天大的收获，但也万万打扰不得。
This explanation was easy enough to think of, but due to Rain桐 Fairy's recounting of ancient secrets being too convoluted, they had been misled into thinking there were hidden plots when the simplest truth was overlooked.
cāng hǎi sāng tián ， shì shì biàn qiān ， bì shēng sǐ guān de dà néng ， yě shì zuò děng xián 。
沧海桑田，世事变迁，闭生死关的大能，也视做等闲。
Cleverness backfired.
guài shuō bù dé wài miàn chǎo dé tiān fān dì fù ， ā xiū luó wáng què shén me yě bù xiǎo de 。
怪说不得外面吵得天翻地覆，阿修罗王却什么也不晓得。
All three felt somewhat helpless and amused.
zhè ge lǐ yóu yuán běn shì hěn róng yì xiǎng dào de 。
这个理由原本是很容易想到的。
"Ah..."
kě yīn wèi yǔ tóng xiān zi jiǎng shù de shàng gǔ yǐn mì tài lí qí qū zhé ， suǒ yǐ zì jǐ zhè xiē rén dōu bèi yǐn piān le sī lù ， zǒng shì xiǎng zhe yǒu shén me yīn móu ， què jiāng zhè zuì jiǎn dān de shì shí hū lüè diào le 。
可因为雨桐仙子讲述的上古隐秘太离奇曲折，所以自己这些人都被引偏了思路，总是想着有什么阴谋，却将这最简单的事实忽略掉了。
Lin Xuan rubbed his head, a touch of embarrassment on his face. "So what happened next? The Spirit Realm is not willing to let this go, nor are the True Immortals willing to let Huayu escape punishment. He's now severely injured, a pariah in the street, alone and friendless. Can he turn danger into safety?"
cōng míng fǎn bèi cōng míng wù 。
聪明反被聪明误。
"Turning danger into safety isn't that easy."
sān rén dōu yǒu xiē kū xiào bù dé 。
三人都有些哭笑不得。
Rain桐 Fairy continued her sigh: "But saying Huayu has become friendless is an exaggeration."
“ ké ……”
“咳……”
"Oh, he's now everyone's target, avoiding him like the plague. Besides Asura King, who else would dare help him? Could it be his friends in the Immortal Realm?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.
lín xuān mō le mō tóu lú ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī gān gà zhī sè ：“ nà jiē xià lái ， yòu fā shēng le shén me ， líng jiè bù yuàn yì shàn bà gān xiū ， nà xiē zhēn xiān gèng bù yuàn yì jiāng huà yǔ fàng guò ， tā rú jīn shēn shòu zhòng shāng ， yòu yǐ chéng wéi guò jiē de lǎo shǔ ， gū jiā guǎ rén ， néng gòu huà xiǎn wéi yí me ？”
林轩摸了摸头颅，脸上露出一丝尴尬之色：“那接下来，又发生了什么，灵界不愿意善罢甘休，那些真仙更不愿意将化羽放过，他如今身受重伤，又已成为过街的老鼠，孤家寡人，能够化险为夷么？”
"Immortal Realm friends... Hmph..." Rain桐 Fairy raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Huayu was once the strongest cultivator in the Immortal Realm. That's true. But he wasn't good at socializing, with only Tianxiang as his best friend. Yet, Tianxiang betrayed him. Where are Huayu's friends now?"
“ huà xiǎn wéi yí 。 nǎ ér yǒu nà me róng yì 。”
“化险为夷。哪儿有那么容易。”
"Who helped him?" Lin Xuan became even more curious.
yǔ tóng xiān zi jì xù tàn xī ：“ bù guò yào shuō huà yǔ chéng wéi le gū jiā guǎ rén yí gè ， què shì yán guò qí shí le 。”
雨桐仙子继续叹息：“不过要说化羽成为了孤家寡人一个，却是言过其实了。”
"This person you know quite well, and your relationship is rather close," Rain桐 Fairy raised her head, a smile playing on her lips.
“ ó ， tā rú jīn yǐ chéng le zhòng shǐ zhī dì ， dà jiā duǒ zhī wéi kǒng bù jí ， chú le ā xiū luó ， nán dào hái yǒu shuí gǎn duì tā tí gōng bāng zhù ， shì huà yǔ zhēn rén zài xiān jiè de péng yǒu me ？” lín xuān hào qí de shuō 。
“哦，他如今已成了众矢之的，大家躲之唯恐不及，除了阿修罗，难道还有谁敢对他提供帮助，是化羽真人在仙界的朋友么？”林轩好奇的说。
"I?"
“ xiān jiè de péng yǒu ， hēng ……” yǔ tóng xiān zi què xiù méi yī tiāo ， liǎn shàng lù chū le lěng xiào ：“ huà yǔ zhēn rén xī rì shì xiān jiè dì yī qiáng zhě ， zhè diǎn méi cuò 。 dàn tā què bìng bù shàn yǔ rén jiāo wǎng shén me ， zuì hǎo de péng yǒu ， zhǐ yǒu tián xiāng yí gè ， kě tián xiāng què jiāng tā bèi pàn le ， huà yǔ nǎ ér hái yǒu qīn péng hǎo yǒu ne ？”
“仙界的朋友，哼……”雨桐仙子却秀眉一挑，脸上露出了冷笑：“化羽真人昔日是仙界第一强者，这点没错。但他却并不擅与人交往什么，最好的朋友，只有田襄一个，可田襄却将他背叛了，化羽哪儿还有亲朋好友呢？”
Lin Xuan was shocked, feeling a bit guilty. Could the other party have already seen through his connection with Asura King?
“ nà shì shuí bāng zhù tā de ？” lín xuān yuè fā hào qí le 。
“那是谁帮助他的？”林轩越发好奇了。
Had Moon's identity been exposed?
“ cǐ rén yào shuō ， lín dào yǒu yě xiāng shí ， ér qiě hái yǔ dào yǒu guān xì fěi qiǎn de yàng zi 。” yǔ tóng xiān zi tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng què lù chū sì xiào fēi xiào zhī sè 。
“此人要说，林道友也相识，而且还与道友关系匪浅的样子。”雨桐仙子抬起头颅，脸上却露出似笑非笑之色。
Lin Xuan became highly vigilant. Although they were now allies, this was his most important secret.
“ wǒ ？”
“我？”
Emotionally and logically, Lin Xuan couldn't help caring about it.
lín xuān dà gǎn cuò è ， jīng yà zhī yú 。 yě bù yóu de yī zhèn xīn xū ， nán dào duì fāng yǐ jīng kàn chuān le zì jǐ yǔ ā xiū luó wáng de guān xì 。
林轩大感错愕，惊讶之余。也不由得一阵心虚，难道对方已经看穿了自己与阿修罗王的关系。
"Is the Fairy saying..." Lin Xuan tried to probe: "Could you mean my brother?"
mò fēi yuè ér de shēn fèn yǐ jīng bào lù ？
莫非月儿的身份已经暴露？
By the way, we got some news from the game company. The mobile game *Hundred Refinements to Immortality* is in its final stages of debugging and should be available soon for all friends.
lín xuān xīn zhōng bù yóu de dà wèi jǐng tì le 。
林轩心中不由得大为警惕了。
"It's not Naelong," Rain桐 Fairy shook her head.
suī shuō xiàn zài dà jiā shì yǒu fēi dí ， dàn zhè què shì zì jǐ zuì zhòng yào de mì mì 。
虽说现在大家是友非敌，但这却是自己最重要的秘密。
"Not him? Then who could it be? I don't know many ancient immortals," Lin Xuan hesitated.
yú qíng yú lǐ ， lín xuān dōu bù kě néng bù zài yì 。
于情于理，林轩都不可能不在意。
"Really? That might not be the case."
“ xiān zi shì shuō ……” lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī shì tàn zhī sè ：“ gāi bú huì shì zhǐ wǒ dà gē ？”
“仙子是说……”林轩脸上露出一丝试探之色：“该不会是指我大哥？”
Rain桐 Fairy smiled: "Cloud Fairy, I think you should be familiar with Lin Daoist."
shuō jiàn shì 。 cóng yóu xì gōng sī dé dào xiāo xī ， bǎi liàn chéng xiān de shǒu yóu yǐ jìn rù zuì hòu de tiáo shì ， xiāng xìn hěn kuài jiù néng yǔ gè wèi dào yǒu jiàn miàn le 。
说件事。从游戏公司得到消息，百炼成仙的手游已进入最后的调试，相信很快就能与各位道友见面了。
"What. Qin Yan, are you saying she...?"
“ dāng rán bú shì nài lóng 。” yǔ tóng xiān zi yáo le yáo tóu 。
“当然不是鼐龙。”雨桐仙子摇了摇头。
A myriad of emotions swirled in Lin Xuan's heart as he heard this.
“ bú shì ， nà huì shì nǎ ge 。 wǒ rèn shí de shàng gǔ dà néng kě bù duō 。” lín xuān chí yí zhe shuō 。
“不是，那会是哪个。我认识的上古大能可不多。”林轩迟疑着说。
"Indeed, it is this woman," Rain桐 Fairy said with a smile on her face.
“ shì me ， nà kě bù yí dìng de 。”
“是么，那可不一定的。”
"Her origins are extraordinary; she is the elder sister of Heavenly Flying Demon Ancestor and the leader of the域外天魔."
yǔ tóng xiān zi wēi xiào zhe kāi kǒu le ：“ yún zhōng xiān zi ， wǒ xiǎng lín dào yǒu nǐ yīng gāi bìng bù mò shēng de 。”
雨桐仙子微笑着开口了：“云中仙子，我想林道友你应该并不陌生的。”
"But the域外天魔 invasion of the Three Realms failed. Why would Cloud Fairy still be here?" Lin Xuan found this increasingly strange as he listened.
“ shén me 。 qín yán ， nǐ shì shuō tā ……”
“什么。秦妍，你是说她……”
"It's not that she was stranded, but rather that she chose to stay," Rain桐 Fairy sighed.
lín xuān xīn zhōng ， yī shí jiān wǔ wèi chén zá 。
林轩心中，一时间五味陈杂。
"Choose to stay?" Lin Xuan was astonished.
“ bù cuò ， zhèng shì cǐ nǚ 。”
“不错，正是此女。”
"Yes, although Cloud Fairy is a域外天魔, compared to the desolate and harsh 天外魔域, she prefers the beauty and prosperity of the Spirit Realm. In fact, long before the域外天魔 were provoked by True Immortals to invade the Three Realms, she had already been traveling through them."
yǔ tóng xiān zi de liǎn shàng dài zhe yī sī xiào yì ：“ tā de lái lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， nǎi shì yù wài tiān mó de dà shǒu lǐng ， fēi tiān mó zǔ de qīn mèi mèi lái zhe 。”
雨桐仙子的脸上带着一丝笑意：“她的来历非同小可，乃是域外天魔的大首领，飞天魔祖的亲妹妹来着。”
"And during that time, she met Huayu and fell deeply in love with him..."
“ yù wài tiān mó rù qīn sān jiè bù yǐ jīng shī bài le ， nán dào yún zhōng xiān zi hái zhì liú zài zhè lǐ me ？” lín xuān yuè tīng yuè jué de lí qí le 。
“域外天魔入侵三界不已经失败了，难道云中仙子还滞留在这里么？”林轩越听越觉得离奇了。
"Love?" Lin Xuan's face showed a peculiar expression.
“ bìng fēi zhì liú ， ér shì tā zì jǐ yuàn yì 。” yǔ tóng xiān zi tàn le kǒu qì 。
“并非滞留，而是她自己愿意。”雨桐仙子叹了口气。
"Yes. At first, Qin Yan didn't know Huayu was a True Immortal, but they got along very well. Unfortunately, the goddess had feelings while Huayu did not. Cloud Fairy was hopelessly infatuated, but Huayu only saw her as his sister."
“ zì jǐ yuàn yì ？” lín xuān què shì chà yì wú bǐ 。
“自己愿意？”林轩却是诧异无比。
"Oh, is it that Cloud Fairy isn't beautiful enough or that she disapproves of her being a域外天魔?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.
“ bù cuò ， zhè wèi yún zhōng xiān zi suī shì yù wài tiān mó ， dàn bǐ qǐ qióng shān è shuǐ de tiān wài mó yù ， tā què gèng xǐ huān líng jiè de měi lì fù shù ， qí shí zǎo zài yù wài tiān mó shòu zhēn xiān tiǎo bō rù qīn sān jiè zhī qián ， tā jiù yǐ jīng zài sān jiè yóu lì le 。”
“不错，这位云中仙子虽是域外天魔，但比起穷山恶水的天外魔域，她却更喜欢灵界的美丽富庶，其实早在域外天魔受真仙挑拨入侵三界之前，她就已经在三界游历了。”
"Are you deliberately asking this, Daoist Lin? Qin Yan's beauty is not unknown to you. Although she doesn't match Asura King, she is still an unparalleled beauty. Disapproving of her as a域外天魔, do you think Huayu would be so superficial?" Rain桐 Fairy replied dismissively.
“ ér jiù shì nà shí hòu ， tā rèn shí le huà yǔ ， bìng qiě ài mù yǐ jí ……”
“而就是那时候，她认识了化羽，并且爱慕以极……”
"Then...?" Lin Xuan scratched his head.
“ ài mù ？” lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī gǔ guài zhī sè 。
“爱慕？”林轩脸上露出一丝古怪之色。
"Hmph, this needs no explanation. Huayu was foolish; he couldn't enjoy the fullness of life with someone else. He must have fallen in love with Asura King and thus rejected Cloud Fairy."
“ bù cuò ， qǐ chū ， qín yán bìng bù zhī dào huà yǔ nǎi shì zhēn xiān ， dàn liǎng rén xiāng chǔ ， què shì jí wéi yú kuài ， kě xī shén nǚ yǒu yì ， xiāng wáng wú xīn ， yún zhōng xiān zi gù rán zhuì rù qíng wǎng wú fǎ zì bá ， huà yǔ què zhǐ shì jiāng tā dàng zuò mèi mèi kàn dài 。”
“不错，起初，秦妍并不知道化羽乃是真仙，但两人相处，却是极为愉快，可惜神女有意，襄王无心，云中仙子固然坠入情网无法自拔，化羽却只是将她当做妹妹看待。”
A lazy voice came from Naelong Immortal: "What a wooden head. No wonder he was ambushed by Tianxiang, leaving him in such a predicament."
“ ó ， yún zhōng xiān zi bù gòu piào liàng me ， hái shì xián qì tā shì yù wài tiān mó ？” lín xuān yǒu xiē hào qí de kāi kǒu le 。
“哦，云中仙子不够漂亮么，还是嫌弃她是域外天魔？”林轩有些好奇的开口了。
Lin Xuan and the others were speechless at this. There was no connection between being devoted and getting ambushed; Naelong Immortal's thoughts were beyond comprehension.
“ lín dào yǒu shì míng zhī gù wèn me ， qín yán róng mào rú hé nǐ yòu bú shì méi yǒu jiàn guò ， suī rán bù jí ā xiū luó ， dàn yě shì jué shì měi nǚ méi cuò ， zhì yú xián qì tā shì yù wài tiān mó ， nǐ jué de huà yǔ zhēn rén huì zhè me fū qiǎn me ？” yǔ tóng xiān zi bù yǐ wéi rán de kāi kǒu le 。
“林道友是明知故问么，秦妍容貌如何你又不是没有见过，虽然不及阿修罗，但也是绝世美女没错，至于嫌弃她是域外天魔，你觉得化羽真人会这么肤浅么？”雨桐仙子不以为然的开口了。
"What happened next? What did Huayu and Cloud Fairy do?"
“ nà ……” lín xuān náo le náo tóu lú ：“ nà yòu shì wèi le shén me ？”
“那……”林轩挠了挠头颅：“那又是为了什么？”
Lin Xuan showed curiosity on his face: "Could it be that Cloud Fairy harbored resentment out of love?"
“ hēng ， zhè hái yòng shuō ， nà huà yǔ zhēn rén shì gè shǎ guā ， bú huì xiǎng qí rén zhī fú ， yí dìng shì tā yǔ ā xiū luó wáng liǎng qíng xiāng yuè ， suǒ yǐ jiù bù dài jiàn yún zhōng xiān zi le 。”
“哼，这还用说，那化羽真人是个傻瓜，不会享齐人之福，一定是他与阿修罗王两情相悦，所以就不待见云中仙子了。”
"No, not exactly," Rain桐 Fairy shook her head. "Although Huayu didn't accept Cloud Fairy's feelings, he treated her well, always seeing her as a sister. How could Cloud Fairy bear to harm him?"
lǎn yáng yáng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì yī páng de nài lóng zhēn rén liǎn shàng lù chū bù yǐ wéi rán zhī sè ：“ zhēn shì gè yú mù nǎo dài ， nán guài huì bèi tián xiāng tōu xí ， jiāng zì jǐ nòng dào zhè me láng bèi de jìng dì 。”
懒洋洋的声音传入耳朵，却是一旁的鼐龙真人脸上露出不以为然之色：“真是个榆木脑袋，难怪会被田襄偷袭，将自己弄到这么狼狈的境地。”
"Even though the域外天魔 have retreated, Qin Yan still stays in the Spirit Realm. With her strength, she can remain safe if she doesn't draw attention. But because of Huayu's situation, the entire Spirit Realm and True Immortals are in turmoil. Qin Yan couldn't help but offer assistance due to her unbreakable feelings for Huayu."
lín xuān děng rén tīng dé yī zhèn wú yǔ ， zhè yòng qíng zhuān yī yǔ bèi tōu xí yǒu shén me guān xì ， nài lóng zhēn rén de sī wéi zhēn shì rén suǒ mò jí 。
林轩等人听得一阵无语，这用情专一与被偷袭有什么关系，鼐龙真人的思维真是人所莫及。
"However, this help only stirred up trouble; Qin Yan's identity was exposed. Although she is one of the strongest域外天魔, she can't face the wrath of the entire Spirit Realm and True Immortals alone. She had no choice but to flee with Huayu." (To be continued...)
"Surely, the Asura King did not receive any news."
Rain桐 Fairy sighed: "As you said, a secret cannot be kept in a paper bag. This matter has long spread to the Netherworld."
"That...?" Lin Xuan grew increasingly puzzled as he listened. Moon's previous life was the ruler of the Netherworld; could anyone dare to keep her in the dark?

"Turning danger into safety isn't that easy."
