“ shī jiě ……” lǐ fán kàn zhe jí jiāng bèi jì zhǎng mén dān dú zhào huàn 、 shén sè mò míng de zhào shī jiě ， yù yán yòu zhǐ 。
“师姐……”李凡看着即将被季掌门单独召唤、神色莫名的赵师姐，欲言又止。
"Senior Sister..." Li Fan looked at Zhao Senior Sister, who was about to be summoned alone by Sect Master Ji and had a strange expression on her face. He hesitated to speak.
“ ń ? shī dì nǐ zěn me le ？” tā kàn le lǐ fán yī yǎn ， róu shēng dào ：“ nǐ wǒ tóng shēng gòng sǐ bǎi yú nián ， hái yǒu shén me shì bù néng hù xiāng tǎn yán de ma ？”
“嗯?师弟你怎么了？”她看了李凡一眼，柔声道：“你我同生共死百余年，还有什么是不能互相坦言的吗？”
"Um? Why are you looking so troubled, Junior Brother?" She glanced at him with a gentle voice: "We've shared life and death for over a hundred years; is there anything we can't share openly?"
“ méi shén me 。” lǐ fán sǎ tuō yī xiào ，“ shī jiě nǐ qiě qù ba 。 jì zhù ， wú lùn zuò shén me shì ， wǒ dū huì zhī chí nǐ de 。”
“没什么。”李凡洒脱一笑，“师姐你且去吧。记住，无论做什么事，我都会支持你的。”
"It's nothing," Li Fan said with a carefree smile. "Senior Sister, go ahead. Remember, no matter what you do, I will always support you."
zhào shī jiě wǎn ěr ér xiào ， zǒu rù le zōng mén dà diàn zhī zhōng 。
赵师姐莞尔而笑，走入了宗门大殿之中。
Zhao Senior Sister smiled slightly and walked into the main hall of the sect.
chén zhòng de dà mén hōng rán guān bì ， lǐ fán kàn zhe zhào shī jiě xiāo shī de bèi yǐng ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī páng rén bù yì chá jué de fù zá 。
沉重的大门轰然关闭，李凡看着赵师姐消失的背影，眼中闪过一丝旁人不易察觉的复杂。
The heavy door slammed shut. Li Fan watched Zhao Senior Sister disappear, his eyes flashing with a complexity that was hard for others to notice.
méi yǒu lǎo lǎo shí shí dāi zài dà diàn zhī wài děng hòu ， ér shì huí dào zì jǐ hé zhào shī jiě suǒ jū zhù de péng lái fēng shàng ， jiāng dòng fǔ zhōng yǒu jià zhí de dōng xī dōu sōu guā yī kōng 。
没有老老实实呆在大殿之外等候，而是回到自己和赵师姐所居住的蓬来峰上，将洞府中有价值的东西都搜刮一空。
Instead of waiting obediently outside the hall, he returned to Penglai Peak where he and Zhao Senior Sister lived, gathering all valuable items from their cave dwelling.
suí hòu zhuāng zuò xún shì de yàng zi ， lái dào hù zōng dà zhèn chū kǒu chù fù jìn 。
随后装作巡视的样子，来到护宗大阵出口处附近。
Then, pretending to patrol, he approached the exit of the protective sect array.
kàn shì hé xún cháng dì zǐ de biǎo xiàn méi yǒu shén me liǎng yàng ， shí zé lǐ fán yǐ jīng zuò hǎo le suí shí pǎo lù de zhǔn bèi 。
看似和寻常弟子的表现没有什么两样，实则李凡已经做好了随时跑路的准备。
His actions seemed no different from any ordinary disciple. However, Li Fan was already prepared to run at a moment's notice.
bú shì yīn wèi lǐ fán xiǎng yào bèi pàn dà dào zōng ， ér shì yīn wèi ……
不是因为李凡想要背叛大道宗，而是因为……
He wasn't betraying the Great Dao Sect; it was because...
zài shān xià de bǎi nián jiān ， lǐ fán ǒu rán jiān fā xiàn ， zhào shī jiě zài àn zhōng sōu jí nà xiē gǎn rǎn 【 xiān wēn 】 de xiū shì 、 shèn zhì fán rén de xuè yè 。
在山下的百年间，李凡偶然间发现，赵师姐在暗中搜集那些感染【仙瘟】的修士、甚至凡人的血液。
Over the past hundred years in the mountains, Li Fan had discovered that Zhao Senior Sister secretly collected blood samples from those infected with the [Immortal Pestilence] and even ordinary people. Although she only took one drop each time and her actions were very discreet, how could he, who lived with her day and night, not notice?
suī rán měi cì zhǐ qǔ yī dī ， dòng zuò yě jí wéi yǐn mì 。
虽然每次只取一滴，动作也极为隐秘。
Initially, after taking a blood sample, Zhao Senior Sister would fall ill for days.
dàn shì yòu zěn me néng táo guò lǐ fán zhè zhāo xī xiāng chǔ zhī rén de yǎn jīng ？
但是又怎么能逃过李凡这朝夕相处之人的眼睛？
Thanks to Li Fan's meticulous care and the protective effects of his elixirs, she managed to recover. When Li Fan asked about it, she jokingly said that she wanted to try reversing the [Immortal Pestilence] and directly attain immortality.
zuì chū de shí hòu ， měi cì qǔ xuè dī yàng běn zhī hòu ， zhào shī jiě dū huì dà bìng yī cháng 。
最初的时候，每次取血滴样本之后，赵师姐都会大病一场。
Li Fan didn't believe her, but he knew Zhao Senior Sister well enough to know that once she made up her mind, even his century-long companion couldn't persuade her otherwise. So, he simply told her to prioritize her health.
kào zhe lǐ fán de xī xīn zhào liào ， yǐ jí chōng zú de dān yào hù tǐ ， tā zhè cái ān rán tǐng le guò lái 。
靠着李凡的悉心照料，以及充足的丹药护体，她这才安然挺了过来。
Later, it seemed like she had listened to Li Fan's advice and gradually stopped collecting blood samples. The intervals between her illnesses became shorter, and the symptoms were milder each time.
lǐ fán xún wèn tā yuán yīn ， shī jiě què zhǐ shì kāi wán xiào de shuō ， zì jǐ yě xiǎng cháng shì nì zhuǎn 【 xiān wēn 】 zhī lǐ 、 zhí jiē zhèng dào zhǎng shēng 。
李凡询问她原因，师姐却只是开玩笑的说，自己也想尝试逆转【仙瘟】之理、直接证道长生。
But Li Fan knew that everything was a facade.
lǐ fán zì shì bù xìn 。
李凡自是不信。
Zhao Senior Sister hadn't given up on her mad behavior; instead, she might have found some method to isolate the effects of the [Immortal Pestilence]...
bù guò zhī dào zhào shī jiě de xìng zi ， yí dàn tā jué dìng de shì qíng ， jiù suàn shì tā zhè wèi xiāng bàn bǎi nián de dào lǚ ， yě quàn bù huí lái 。
不过知道赵师姐的性子，一旦她决定的事情，就算是他这位相伴百年的道侣，也劝不回来。
Though they had been together for so many years,
suǒ xìng yě bù quàn zǔ ， zhǐ shì duì tā shuō le jù “ shēn tǐ wèi zhòng ”。
索性也不劝阻，只是对她说了句“身体为重”。
Zhao Senior Sister's cultivation had grown increasingly profound. Li Fan could no longer see through her from time to time as various auras emanated from her.
hòu lái ， tā sì hū zhēn de tīng qǔ le lǐ fán de jiàn yì ， màn màn tíng zhǐ sōu jí le xuè yè yàng běn 。
后来，她似乎真的听取了李凡的建议，慢慢停止搜集了血液样本。
Even though he was sure Zhao Senior Sister had no intention to harm him, Li Fan still felt an inexplicable sense of danger.
shēng bìng de jiàn gé yuè lái yuè duǎn ， měi cì gǎn rǎn de zhèng zhuàng yě yuè lái yuè qīng 。
生病的间隔越来越短，每次感染的症状也越来越轻。
Though Zhao Senior Sister didn't say anything, Li Fan guessed that she was gathering so much blood infused with the [Immortal Pestilence] for one reason: to deal with Sect Master Ji Changxi of the Great Dao Sect. Over a hundred years of deliberate suppression had pushed her to the brink of hatred towards this sect master.
dàn lǐ fán zhī dào ， yī qiè dōu shì jiǎ xiàng 。
但李凡知道，一切都是假象。
The saying "I will not rest until I have destroyed my enemy" applied here.
zhào shī jiě gēn běn méi yǒu fàng qì tā zhè fēng kuáng de xíng wéi 。
赵师姐根本没有放弃她这疯狂的行为。
Li Fan believed that the mad Zhao Senior Sister might indeed do such a heinous act.
ér tā zhī suǒ yǐ kàn shàng qù méi yǒu le yì cháng ， sì hū shì yīn wèi tā zhǎng wò le mǒu zhǒng kě yǐ gé jué 【 xiān wēn 】 yǐng xiǎng de bàn fǎ ……
而她之所以看上去没有了异常，似乎是因为她掌握了某种可以隔绝【仙瘟】影响的办法……
Just moments ago, when she entered the main hall, there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes. It wasn't his imagination.
zhè xiē nián ， suī rán yì zhí dài zài tóng chù 。
这些年，虽然一直待在同处。
"Sect Master Ji Changxi has been practicing for over six hundred years and possesses profound powers and techniques beyond comprehension. But he is not yet in the realm of immortality."
dàn zhào shī jiě de xiū wèi rì yì gāo shēn ， yǐ jīng chéng zhǎng dào lǐ fán dōu kàn bù tòu de dì bù le 。
但赵师姐的修为日益高深，已经成长到李凡都看不透的地步了。
"Considering Senior Sister Zhao's talents and actual combat strength, along with the aid of the [Immortal Pestilence], she might have a chance to succeed."
bù shí cóng tā shēn shàng bù jīng yì jiān sàn fà chū de zhǒng zhǒng qì xī ， ràng lǐ fán gǎn dào àn zì xīn jīng 。
不时从她身上不经意间散发出的种种气息，让李凡感到暗自心惊。
"But even if it’s just a narrow victory? Killing Sect Master Ji Changxi will still leave ten other Dao practitioners. Even two Longevity Heaven Emperors who remain hidden could be present as well."
jí biàn kě yǐ kěn dìng ， zhào shī jiě méi yǒu shāng hài zì jǐ de yì si 。 dàn lǐ fán réng rán huì xīn zhōng gǎn dào wú yóu lái de wēi jī gǎn 。
即便可以肯定，赵师姐没有伤害自己的意思。但李凡仍然会心中感到无由来的危机感。
"Could we possibly kill them all?"
suī rán zhào shī jiě bù shuō ， dàn lǐ fán yě néng cāi dào 。 tā sōu jí rú cǐ duō yùn hán 【 xiān wēn 】 zhī lì de xuè yè ， kǒng pà jiù shì wèi le duì fù dà dào zōng de zhǎng mén jì zhǎng xī 。
虽然赵师姐不说，但李凡也能猜到。她搜集如此多蕴含【仙瘟】之力的血液，恐怕就是为了对付大道宗的掌门季长夕。
Li Fan was at a loss, wondering why Zhao Senior Sister had made such a decision.
bǎi nián de kè yì dǎ yā ， yǐ jīng ràng zhào shī jiě duì zhè wèi zhǎng mén de bù mǎn ， dá dào jí xiàn 。
百年的刻意打压，已经让赵师姐对这位掌门的不满，达到极限。
Regardless of the outcome, it would become known throughout the entire sect. Not only would she face an attack from everyone in the sect, but his own senior sister's companion, Li Fan, wouldn't be spared either.
suǒ wèi “ zǔ wǒ dào tú ， bù sǐ bù xiū ”。
所谓“阻我道途，不死不休”。
Thus, he prepared to run as soon as possible. He just hoped for some miracle that might change everything.
lǐ fán xiāng xìn ， fēng kuáng de zhào shī jiě bú shì bù kě néng zuò chū zhè zhǒng dà nì bù dào de shì qíng lái 。
李凡相信，疯狂的赵师姐不是不可能做出这种大逆不道的事情来。
Time passed slowly.
bù jiǔ qián tā tà rù zōng mén dà diàn zhōng ， yǎn shén zhōng shǎn guò de nà sī shā yì ， yě jué bú shì lǐ fán de cuò jué 。
不久前她踏入宗门大殿中，眼神中闪过的那丝杀意，也绝不是李凡的错觉。
Since Sect Master Ji had given orders that no one could disturb him and Daozi with important matters, the main hall remained closed.
“ jì zhǎng xī suī shuō yǐ jīng hé dào liù bǎi yú zài ， yī shēn shén tōng 、 miào fǎ shēn bù kě cè 。 dàn bì jìng hái bú shì cháng shēng jìng 。”
“季长夕虽说已经合道六百余载，一身神通、妙法深不可测。但毕竟还不是长生境。”
Li Fan gazed at the peak of the mountain from afar, feeling increasingly anxious.
“ yǐ zhào shī jiě zhǎn lù de tiān zī 、 hé shí jì zhàn lì lái kàn ， zài jiā shàng 【 xiān wēn 】 zhī zhù ， wèi bì méi yǒu shèng suàn 。”
“以赵师姐展露的天资、和实际战力来看，再加上【仙瘟】之助，未必没有胜算。”
Seven days later,
“ zhǐ shì xiǎn shèng yòu rú hé ？ shā le gè jì zhǎng xī ， hái yǒu shí jǐ gè hé dào zhǎng lǎo 。 shèn zhì hái yǒu nà liǎng wèi yǐn shì bù chū de cháng shēng tiān zūn yā zhèn 。”
“只是险胜又如何？杀了个季长夕，还有十几个合道长老。甚至还有那两位隐世不出的长生天尊压阵。”
The door to the main hall slowly opened. Li Fan's breath hitched.
“ nán bù chéng ， hái néng dōu bǎ tā men shā gān jìng bù chéng ？”
“难不成，还能都把他们杀干净不成？”
However, something far beyond his expectations happened.
lǐ fán bǎi sī bù dé qí jiě ， wèi shén me zhào shī jiě huì zuò chū rú cǐ jué dìng 。
李凡百思不得其解，为什么赵师姐会做出如此决定。
Sect Master Ji walked out first, followed by Zhao Senior Sister.
wú lùn chéng gōng yǔ fǒu ， dà dào zōng shàng xià dū huì rén jǐn jiē zhī 。
无论成功与否，大道宗上下都会人尽皆知。
They both emerged together.
dào shí hòu bù jǐn tā yào miàn duì quán zōng de wéi gōng ， lǐ fán zhè wèi zhào shī jiě de dào lǚ ， xiǎng bì yě bù néng xìng miǎn 。
到时候不仅她要面对全宗的围攻，李凡这位赵师姐的道侣，想必也不能幸免。
"Did they not fight to the death? Did I overestimate them?" Li Fan's eyes narrowed as he wondered.
yú shì wèi yǔ chóu móu de lǐ fán zǎo zǎo zuò hǎo le pǎo lù de zhǔn bèi 。
于是未雨绸缪的李凡早早做好了跑路的准备。
Not only did Zhao Senior Sister not engage in a life-or-death struggle, but their relationship seemed more harmonious than before. In fact, when she left, Sect Master Ji even patted her shoulder as encouragement.
zhì yú wèi shén me xiàn zài hái bù zǒu ， chún cuì shì qī pàn zhe ， kàn yǒu méi yǒu qí jì de fā shēng 。
至于为什么现在还不走，纯粹是期盼着，看有没有奇迹的发生。
Zhao Senior Sister accepted this gesture without any hesitation and showed no unusual expression on her face.
shí jiān yì diǎn diǎn guò qù 。
时间一点点过去。
Seeing this scene, Li Fan's heart trembled with many unanswered questions.
yóu yú jì zhǎng xī zhī qián xià le mìng lìng ， tā hé dào zi yǒu yào shì xiāng shāng ， rèn hé rén bù néng dǎ rǎo 。
由于季长夕之前下了命令，他和道子有要事相商，任何人不能打扰。
In the past, Zhao Senior Sister had always been very resistant to physical contact from others. Now...
suǒ yǐ zōng mén dà diàn yì zhí chǔ yú fēng bì zhuàng tài 。
所以宗门大殿一直处于封闭状态。
Feeling uneasy, numerous thoughts flashed through Li Fan's mind.
lǐ fán yuǎn yuǎn tiào wàng shān diān ， xīn zhōng yuè fā tǎn tè bù ān 。
李凡远远眺望山巅，心中越发忐忑不安。
But he didn't have time to think them through.
qī tiān zhī hòu 。
七天之后。
Li Fan first realized that there was something he hadn't done yet.
dà diàn mén fēi huǎn huǎn dòng kāi ， lǐ fán de hū xī dùn shí yī zhì 。
大殿门扉缓缓洞开，李凡的呼吸顿时一滞。
He rushed back to Penglai Peak and quickly restored all items in their original places before Zhao Senior Sister returned. She didn't notice anything amiss, as they had been away for a century.
rán ér ， dà dà chū hū tā yì liào zhī wài de shì qíng fā shēng le 。
然而，大大出乎他意料之外的事情发生了。
"Senior Sister, after being out for a hundred years, we've been busy with trivial matters; perhaps it's time for some intimacy." Li Fan tentatively invited her to practice dual cultivation.
jì zhǎng xī zài qián ， zhào shī jiě zài hòu 。
季长夕在前，赵师姐在后。
Zhao Senior Sister's eyes sparkled with nostalgia. She smiled and readily agreed.
liǎng rén yī tóng zǒu le chū lái 。
两人一同走了出来。
After an intimate session, Li Fan's doubts began to dissipate.
“ liǎng rén méi yǒu pīn gè nǐ sǐ wǒ huó ？ shì wǒ xiǎng duō le ？” xīn zhōng chà yì ， lǐ fán bù jīn wēi wēi mī qǐ le yǎn jīng 。
“两人没有拼个你死我活？是我想多了？”心中诧异，李凡不禁微微眯起了眼睛。
"What is the matter that Sect Master summoned you for?" Li Fan held Zhao Senior Sister's flawless body close, asking casually.
bù jǐn zhào shī jiě yú sǐ wǎng pò 、 pīn sǐ yī jī de shì qíng méi yǒu fā shēng ， liǎng rén de guān xì sì hū dōu bǐ zhī qián hé mù le bù shǎo 。
不仅赵师姐鱼死网破、拼死一击的事情没有发生，两人的关系似乎都比之前和睦了不少。
"He said he would pass on the position of sect master to me soon and asked me to prepare in advance," Zhao Senior Sister replied calmly, without any fluctuation.
shèn zhì zài zuì hòu tā lí kāi de shí hòu ， jì zhǎng xī hái pāi le pāi tā de jiān bǎng ， yǐ shì gǔ lì 。
甚至在最后她离开的时候，季长夕还拍了拍她的肩膀，以示鼓励。
It was as if she were inheriting a mere toy rather than the leading position of the Immortal Dao Sect. But this casual statement, which she seemed not to care about at all, struck Li Fan like a thunderbolt, making his mind go blank for a moment.
ér zhào shī jiě jū rán tǎn rán shòu zhī ， bìng qiě liǎn shàng yě méi yǒu sī háo yì sè 。
而赵师姐居然坦然受之，并且脸上也没有丝毫异色。
"What about the 'Slaughter Heaven Great Dao Scripture'?" Li Fan asked, still in a daze.
kàn jiàn zhè yí mù ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng dùn shí wēi zhèn ， chōng mǎn le zhū duō bù jiě 。
看见这一幕，李凡心中顿时微震，充满了诸多不解。
"Ha ha, as a sect master's exclusive cultivation technique, of course, it will be given back to me for practice," Zhao Senior Sister said with a smile. She leaned her head against Li Fan's chest and traced circles around his heart, enjoying the moment.
"Senior Sister..." Li Fan looked at Zhao Senior Sister, who was about to be summoned alone by Sect Master Ji and had a strange expression on her face. He hesitated to speak.
"Um? Why are you looking so troubled, Junior Brother?" She glanced at him with a gentle voice: "We've shared life and death for over a hundred years; is there anything we can't share openly?"
"It's nothing," Li Fan said with a carefree smile. "Senior Sister, go ahead. Remember, no matter what you do, I will always support you."
Zhao Senior Sister smiled slightly and walked into the main hall of the sect.
"Bang!"
The heavy door slammed shut. Li Fan watched Zhao Senior Sister disappear, his eyes flashing with a complexity that was hard for others to notice.
Instead of waiting obediently outside the hall, he returned to Penglai Peak where he and Zhao Senior Sister lived, gathering all valuable items from their cave dwelling.
