zhī qián shàng mén bài fǎng sī kōng yí de 「 hán wú yōu 」， zì rán jiù shì lǐ fán de fēn shēn le 。
之前上门拜访司空宜的「韩无忧」，自然就是李凡的分身了。
Previously, the "Han Wuyou" who visited Si Kong Yi's residence was naturally Li Fan's avatar.
pǒ fèi le yī fān gōng fu ， yòu shì yáng zhuāng yào guā fēn sì chéng gòng xiàn dù ， yòu shì chū shǒu wèi qí jiě jué tóng xiū gōng fǎ de xiū shì ， yòu shì chū móu huà cè 、 gòng tóng tàn suǒ yún shuǐ tiān gōng 。
颇费了一番功夫，又是佯装要瓜分四成贡献度，又是出手为其解决同修功法的修士，又是出谋划策、共同探索云水天宫。
After much effort, he pretended to want a 40% share of the contribution points, assisted in resolving fellow cultivators' issues with his own mystical techniques, and even offered strategic advice while exploring the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace together.
zuì zhōng de mù dì ， jiù shì wèi le zài tā de xīn zhōng zhí rù àn shì 。
最终的目的，就是为了在他的心中植入暗示。
The ultimate goal was to plant an implication in Si Kong Yi’s mind. Once he completed the first task for the Celestial Physician, Li Fan would then proactively offer a solution, triggering the delivery of the white jade statue.
ràng tā wán chéng tiān yī de dì yí gè rèn wù hòu ， zài zhǔ dòng kāi kǒu ， chù fā yùn sòng bái yù diāo xiàng de rèn wù 。
让他完成天医的第一个任务后，再主动开口，触发运送白玉雕像的任务。
From Si Kong Yi's recent往返 actions, it seemed that Li Fan's plan had succeeded. In this world, he intended to push against the Old Fisher and the Master in a confrontation with the Celestial Physician. However, all his scheming required someone to deliver the Celestial Physician’s statue into the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace.
cóng gāng gāng sī kōng yí zài dù wǎng fǎn yún shuǐ tiān gōng de xíng jìng lái kàn ， lǐ fán de suàn jì yīng gāi shì chéng gōng le 。
从刚刚司空宜再度往返云水天宫的行径来看，李凡的算计应该是成功了。
Only then would the Master sense the presence of the Celestial Physician within the palace and drive his cart across the sea. Given the perilous nature of this task, Li Fan could not possibly undertake it himself. The Celestial Physician's "Observation, Smelling, Inquiry, and Pulse-taking" techniques were indeed terrifying; even a prepared avatar might not be able to deceive him.
cǐ shì ， tā yù tuī dòng yú fù lǎo rén 、 fū zǐ ， hé tiān yī yī zhàn 。
此世，他欲推动渔父老人、夫子，和天医一战。
Since Si Kong Yi had previously submitted the Cloud Water Scroll and earned ten thousand contribution points, he naturally became the ideal candidate for this task. However, Li Fan was unsure if Si Kong Yi had also received the request from the Celestial Physician to transport the statue. This is why "Han Wuyou" made a visit.
dàn yī qiè de móu huà yǒu gè dà qián tí ， nà jiù shì xū yào yǒu rén jiāng tiān yī de diāo xiàng sòng jìn yún shuǐ tiān gōng zhī nèi 。
但一切的谋划有个大前提，那就是需要有人将天医的雕像送进云水天宫之内。
Even if Si Kong Yi or the Celestial Physician were suspicious of Han Wuyou's sudden appearance, his death in the enigmatic Cloud Water Heavenly Palace sealed the deal.
zhǐ yǒu zhè yàng ， fū zǐ cái huì gǎn yìng dào yún shuǐ tiān gōng nèi tiān yī de cún zài ， jià shǐ zhe niú chē 、 dù hǎi ér lái 。
只有这样，夫子才会感应到云水天宫内天医的存在，驾驶着牛车、渡海而来。
Li Fan believed that even the Celestial Physician would find it difficult to trace him due to the many layers of mystery within the palace. Furthermore, from the Celestial Physician’s perspective, Si Kong Yi was merely a greedy cultivator blinded by profit who sought support; he might not even consider investigating.
zhè me wēi xiǎn de rèn wù ， lǐ fán zì rán shì bù kě néng qīn zì chū mǎ de 。
这么危险的任务，李凡自然是不可能亲自出马的。
Overall, Li Fan's scheme was flawless and seamless, ensuring that no one would discover his plans. It was a perfect arrangement born out of multiple lifetimes of experience, information, and calculated strategy—something others could not replicate.
tiān yī de 「 wàng wén wèn qiè 」 sì shù ， zhe shí kě bù 。
天医的「望闻问切」四术，着实可怖。
Even the Celestial Physician, despite his strength, fell into Li Fan’s invisible web without realizing it. Although to a lesser extent, "arranging for a powerful entity like the Celestial Physician to act in accordance with one's preconceived direction" was significant enough.
jiù suàn zǎo yǒu jiè bèi de fēn shēn ， yě wèi bì néng mán guò tiān yī 。
就算早有戒备的分身，也未必能瞒过天医。
Li Fan felt the lingering shadows that had weighed on him for so long gradually dissipate as he exhaled his long-held gloom. "Even if your cultivation reaches the heavens, you still fall into my trap!"
yuán xiān shàng jiāo 【 yún shuǐ tú lù 】、 huò dé shí wàn gòng xiàn dù de sī kōng yí ， yě jiù shùn lǐ chéng zhāng de chéng wéi le rèn wù de zuì jiā rén xuǎn 。
原先上交【云水图箓】、获得十万贡献度的司空宜，也就顺理成章的成为了任务的最佳人选。
Despite his excitement over this small victory, Li Fan did not let it cloud his judgment. He understood that this success was based on having gathered enough possibilities.
dàn lǐ fán bù què dìng ， dāng shí sī kōng yí shì fǒu gēn zì jǐ yī yàng ， yě jiē dào le tiān yī bāng máng yùn shū diāo xiàng de yāo qiú 。
但李凡不确定，当时司空宜是否跟自己一样，也接到了天医帮忙运输雕像的要求。
---
wèi le què bǎo shì qíng zǒu xiàng yù dìng de guǐ dào ， zhè cái yǒu le 「 hán wú yōu 」 shàng mén zhè yí mù 。
为了确保事情走向预定的轨道，这才有了「韩无忧」上门这一幕。
The advantage had now run out, and he faced numerous unknowns, necessitating careful steps forward. "Better to give up than force the issue."
jí biàn sī kōng yí yì huò zhě tiān yī duì zhè mò míng chū xiàn de hán wú yōu yǒu suǒ huái yí ， dàn hán wú yōu yǐ rán shēn sǐ 。
即便司空宜亦或者天医对这莫名出现的韩无忧有所怀疑，但韩无忧已然身死。
"The Celestial Physician is in place. The next step is to inform the Old Fisher about the Sky Tyrant Sword's imprisonment within the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace when the Master appears 16 years from now."
hái shì sǐ zài le guǐ yì chóng chóng de yún shuǐ tiān gōng zhī nèi 。
还是死在了诡异重重的云水天宫之内。
"Another proxy will be needed for this task."
lǐ fán xiāng xìn ， nǎ pà shì tiān yī ， xiǎng yào zhuī chá ， kǒng pà yě bù néng rú yì 。
李凡相信，哪怕是天医，想要追查，恐怕也不能如意。
In an instant, Li Fan thought of a suitable candidate: "Han Yi..."
kuàng qiě ， zài tiān yī yǎn zhōng ， nà sī kōng yí zuì duō yě jiù shì gè bèi lì yì suǒ méng bì 、 xiǎng yào bào dà tuǐ de tān lán xiū shì ér yǐ 。
况且，在天医眼中，那司空宜最多也就是个被利益所蒙蔽、想要抱大腿的贪婪修士而已。
Li Fan sensed the Unformulated Killing Intent’s tracking. Over a year had passed since he last saw Han Yi, and he was still not back in the Xuanhuang Realm.
wèi bì huì qǐ tàn chá de xīn sī 。
未必会起探查的心思。
It seemed that his recent encounter had been fruitful. "No problem; I have him under my control."
zǒng de lái shuō ， lǐ fán de móu huà hún rán tiān chéng 、 bù lòu hén jì 。 yě duàn jué le zì jǐ bèi fā xiàn de kě néng 。
总的来说，李凡的谋划浑然天成、不漏痕迹。也断绝了自己被发现的可能。
Li Fan gazed at the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace towering above, then returned quietly to his thoughts.
kān chēng wán měi 。
堪称完美。
---
zhè shì zài lún huí jǐ shì 、 jīng lì le gè zhǒng kě néng 、 zhǎng wò le zhū duō xìn xī hòu ， cái néng wán chéng de suàn jì 。
这是在轮回几世、经历了各种可能、掌握了诸多信息后，才能完成的算计。
On Body-Island, Ye Feipeng felt elated recently. The Immortal Master who had disappeared after bringing them here suddenly reappeared and began inspecting the children's cultivation progress. Those who excelled were rewarded with spirit stones and medicinal pills, while those who lagged behind faced three days of battling an "Evil Puppet" without respite.
páng rén wú fǎ fù zhì 。
旁人无法复制。
The "Evil Puppet," as the children called it privately, was a seemingly simple puppet that proved far more challenging than expected.
nǎ pà shì tiān yī zhè děng qiáng zhě ， yě zài háo wú suǒ jué de qíng kuàng xià ， luò rù le lǐ fán biān zhī de zhè zhāng wú xíng dà wǎng nèi 。
哪怕是天医这等强者，也在毫无所觉的情况下，落入了李凡编织的这张无形大网内。
Baron Sun, with his exceptional talent, was the first to challenge the puppet. Within half a year, he had advanced from a mere mortal to mid-Qi Condensation stage. His martial arts skills further enhanced his combat prowess.
suī rán chéng dù qīng wēi ， dàn 「 bù jú tuī dòng hé dào zhī shàng de qiáng zhě ， àn zhào zì jǐ suǒ yù xiǎng de fāng xiàng xíng dòng 」， zhè jiàn shì běn shēn jiù yì yì fēi fán 。
虽然程度轻微，但「布局推动合道之上的强者，按照自己所预想的方向行动」，这件事本身就意义非凡。
The children found him nearly invincible in normal sparring sessions. Driven by arrogance, Baron Sun challenged the Sky Yang Puppet publicly and was soundly defeated.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng de yīn yù yī sǎo ér kōng ， zhǐ jué cháng jiǔ yǐ lái yì zhí yā zài zì jǐ shēn shàng nà huī zhī bù qù de yīn yǐng ， zhōng yú zhú jiàn xiāo sàn 。
李凡心中的阴郁一扫而空，只觉长久以来一直压在自己身上那挥之不去的阴影，终于逐渐消散。
Following Li Fan's instructions, Sky Yang only aimed to incapacitate without causing fatal damage. The experience deeply taught Baron Sun about the treacherous nature of human hearts and how appearances can be deceiving.
「 rèn nǐ xiū wèi tōng tiān ， yě bú shì hái yào rù wǒ gòu zhōng ！」
「任你修为通天，也不是还要入我彀中！」
Sky Yang continuously provoked Baron Sun into attacks, but always failed at critical moments. Exhausted and unconscious from his relentless efforts, Baron Sun eventually broke through to late-Qi Condensation stage after seven days of seclusion.
xīn qíng jī dàng de tóng shí ， lǐ fán yě méi yǒu bèi yī shí de chéng guǒ suǒ chōng hūn tóu nǎo 。
心情激荡的同时，李凡也没有被一时的成果所冲昏头脑。
Overjoyed by this breakthrough, he challenged Sky Yang again. However, the outcome was the same—just a hair's breadth away!
tā shēn kè de míng bái ， zhè cì wēi xiǎo de shèng lì ， shì jiàn lì zài tā sōu jí le zú gòu duō de kě néng xìng de qián tí xià 。
他深刻的明白，这次微小的胜利，是建立在他搜集了足够多的可能性的前提下。
The children began to realize that the seemingly harmless puppet was deliberately mocking them. Angered and battered once more, Baron Sun fell unconscious.
ér jiē xià lái ， yōu shì yǐ jīng yòng jǐn 。
而接下来，优势已经用尽。
From then on, regardless of their cultivation levels, the children found the puppet only slightly stronger than themselves. Some were furious at Sky Yang’s perceived malice, while others recognized him as an ideal training partner and began frequenting his presence.
xū yào miàn duì de yòu shì zhǒng zhǒng wèi zhī ， gèng yào bù bù wéi yíng 、 xiǎo xīn jǐn shèn 。
需要面对的又是种种未知，更要步步为营、小心谨慎。
Ye Feipeng was among them. Although he did not wish to fight, being the sole practitioner of "Triple Method Cultivation," he could not allow himself to fall behind. Unfortunately, his average talent meant that he eventually fell in line with other opponents.
「 nìng kě fàng qì ， yě bù qiǎng qiú 。」
「宁可放弃，也不强求。」
Just as Ye Feipeng grew anxious, the Immortal Master appeared. While rewarding and punishing the children fairly, he offered special treatment to Ye Fei Peng. After assessing his progress and examining him thoroughly, the Immortal Master deemed "Stabilizing the Sea Divine Sword" unsuitable for him.
「 tiān yī yǐ jīng jiù wèi 。 xià yī bù ， jiù shì zài máo dìng 16 nián ， fū zǐ xiàn shì de shí hòu ， jiāng tiān shā jiàn bèi kùn yún shuǐ tiān gōng de shì qíng ， gào zhī yú fù lǎo rén le 。」
「天医已经就位。下一步，就是在锚定16年，夫子现世的时候，将天煞剑被困云水天宫的事情，告之渔父老人了。」
He stripped Ye Fei Peng of his cultivation and granted a new technique: "Ocean Roaming Dragon Skill."
Previously, the "Han Wuyou" who visited Si Kong Yi's residence was naturally Li Fan's avatar.
After much effort, he pretended to want a 40% share of the contribution points, assisted in resolving fellow cultivators' issues with his own mystical techniques, and even offered strategic advice while exploring the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace together.
