Book 24 - Chapter 11 – Dividing the Color of Spring Evenly (2/2)
shi+ Feixuan suddenly stopped Naturally Xu Ziling also stopped iht displeasure in her voice, the former said, “I don’t knohat is your, this person’s brains made of? Why don’t you dare to walk side by side with Feixuan? There is no distinction of senior and junior between us; there is no distinction between master-servants even er pay you any attention?”
Book 24 Chapter 11 - Part 2
Jaya, Ysabel, DongBin, you are welcouess based on strong arguments (BTW, what’s FIL?) Sky, I don’t think that’s what Xu Ziling thought … Xiaohu, why did you assuht in thetoo
A hard to describe feeling appeared in Xu Ziling’s heart; perhaps it was because the relationshi+p between thee in shi+ Feixuan’s attitude toward him compared to when they first met Previously, she had never tried this kind of half tender-beyond-reach stare, half rebuking attitude and voice, in talking with hi was pleasantly surprised
Laughing aloud, Xu Ziling stepped forward to take his position on her left With a bit of losing-his-footwork feeling, he said, “It was just a ht that because of Miss shi+’s special status, youthe distance betweento show respect fro Miss’ outstanding, proper identity Ay! You ought to understand what I a to say”
shi+ Feixuan s side by side have to do withthe distance betweenback, how did you show respect fro the har offorward, her jade countenance returned to her still-water-without-any-ripple serene expression This ti-it-easy, walked by her side, quietly waiting for her to continue
After a good while, shi+ Feixuan spoke seriously, “shi+ Zhixuan left a copy of Immortal Print Method, his intention was for Xiuxin shi+bo to look at it It was related to the struggle between the deined Were it not for studying the scroll attentively, Xiuxin shi+bo could not possibly be giving up and departing this mortal life at the pri’s heart He said, “shi+ Zhixuan acco, no wonder Miss shi+ is unwilling to recognize him as her father”
And then he anxiously said, “Didn’t Miss shi+ just say that you examined the ‘I your esteemed shi+bo’s disastrous policy?”
“You can say that,” shi+ Feixuan nonchalantly replied, “Plus this is exactly shi+ Zhixuan’s intention in cozhai, it was a blatant drowning battle One day Feixuan ht suddenly walk away from this, but in every case, I cannot si to that, Xu Ziling did not kno to respond; worse yet, he did not kno to share her burden It was quite half a day later that he finally said, “Why did An Long want to obtain the Print Scroll? What benefit would that bring him?”
By this time they had reached the end of the forest, where there was a clearing next to the Luohan Hall shi+ Feixuan slowly turned around to face Xu Ziling Her voice was tranquil as she said, “Toward shi+ Zhixuan, An Long has soed for the last several decades All along he wishes that shi+ Zhixuan would unify the demonic schools To him, the former obstacle was Xiuxin shi+bo, and now the obstacle is Miss Qingxuan As for between Yang Xuyan and Hou Xibai, he chose the forht beco asked, “Yang Xuyan is that kind of person, why does Li shi+min still want to put him in such an important position?”
shi+ Feixuan replied, “Actually, it could be considered that Yang Xuyan is connected to the crown prince Li Jiancheng’sXuyan and Li Yuan’s close relationshi+p that he receives Li Yuan’s special favor Plus recently Yang Xuyan played a critical role in Dong Shuni beco Li Yuan’s concubine that his status is even more consolidated Unless Li shi+min wants to break off his relations with his father and elder brother, what can he do to this officer [orig chen, state official/subject in dynastic China] who, tiain, establishesXue Ju?”
Frowning, Xu Ziling said, “Previously, Miss shi+ has always been unwilling to talk about the demonic schools, but now suddenly you want to talk to no end; is there any particular reason behind it?”
shi+ Feixuan smiled and said, “Since we parted on the Great Ba Mountain, Feixuan had rushed to the secluded forest in the sxuan about this matter It was only then did I find out that just before his death, Lu Miaozi had sent a letter via pigeon post to Miss Qingxuan In his letter he wrote about h estees he ht be the only one in the world, the unusual talent who precisely must learn the Hua Jian, or perhaps Bu Tian’s demonic skills, who could also understand the ‘Immortal Print Scroll’ Hence the reason she decided to hand over the Print Scroll to you If you are unable to rush over in time, then she would destroy the Print Scroll in front of An Long and Yang Xuyan, so that once the main proble could not stop a burst of disappoint up in his heart Turned out the reason shi+ Feixuan treated him so favorably noas not because of her ied, but because of Lu Miaozi’s letter, or perhaps because shi+ Qingxuan trusted hi disappointed inwardly, the kind of feeling that was very unpleasant From this, he realized that quite possibly he had fallen in love with this siant-like-a-fairy beauty; otherwise, how could he be so dispirited?
Thinking to this point, Xu Ziling suppressed all disturbinghad happened, he said, “So that’s how it is If I had known earlier, Xiaodi did not need to rush over a thousand mountains and ten thousand rivers to come here”
Astounded, shi+ Feixuan said, “Not being able to take a peek at the Print Scroll, you don’t feel that it was a pity?”
Xu Ziling emotionally said, “Gains and losses, success and failure, how can we ? Besides, it is very likely that Mr Lu rong, or perhaps he overesti fire deviation is really not worth it If you want to study martial art, the five hundred revered statues in the Luohan Hall, none did not i fish in nature, none cannot be my master; ould have time to collate and examine critically the book created by demonic school, heretical people?”
shi+ Feixuan’s beautiful eyes were deeply fixed on hihts; she sighed and said, “Only now do Feixuan understand why Lu Dashi+ ad knew that all of this temple’s Luohan are crafted personally by Senior Monk kumarajiva [c 334-413, Buddhist monk and translator of Zen texts] of the Later Qin [of the Sixteen Kingdo asked, “Who is kue?”
shi+ Feixuan solemnly replied, “ku or Buddhist context] with great virtue and great wisdom, who passed on Buddhist doctrines to the Central Earth, who had extensive study of Mahayana Dharma and especially proficient in Prajna and the essence of emptiness Histhe arhat real about Dhar in the Central Earth, he i the Buddhist scripture at the Xiaoyao [lit free and unfettered] Garden in Chang’an I aht that unexpectedly someone is able to see the profound ned; not only that, this person is not a Buddhist disciple at all It is indeed unusual”
And then she cast hilance and said, “Fancy that you, this person, still think that Lu Miaozi rong in his judg the responsibility yourself?”
S to you, I nearly wanted to coh look Ay! Now this place no longer has any need of an idle person likefor me everywhere for Li shi+min’s sake It is really not suitable for Xiaodi to tarryto accompany you”
Even with shi+ Feixuan’s indifferent-to-fa character, she could not help knitting her pretty eyebrows and spoke in displeasure, “Why do you want to slip away so quickly? Could it be that you cannot see the suffering of the people everywhere? Even Bashu [Sichuan] – that can avoid the fire of war in the Central Plains and the changes in political circu winds, scudding clouds [idiom: turbulent tis, all along we have been in the situation where the Way is di; otherwise the world would not have turned chaotic like this Those with aht to work a bit for the people”
Xu Ziling’s rueful s, he said, “The one with a at all I wonder if Miss shi+’s expectation on h?”
shi+ Feixuan returned to her usual cal knohy I wanted to i away?”
Thinking deeply, Xu Ziling said, “Was it to see whether shi+ Zhixuan is i has received shi+ Zhixuan’s instruction, naturally he would not have been that scared”
Glowering at him, shi+ Feixuan said, “And you want to leave without blurting it out tosaid, “Turns out Miss shi+ also kno to tease people”
shi+ Feixuan let out a light sigh, and spoke gently, “You, this person, are so difficult to wait upon If Xu Xiong does not mind, would you allow Feixuan to be a setarian dishes? Miss Qingxuan still has so, Xu Ziling said, “Miss shi+ [Feixuan] does not need to waste your precious time for me; you only need to tell xuan], Xiaodi can always go on my own to find her”
It was as if shi+ Feixuan was able to see through him A barely discernible smile escaped from the corner of her cherry lips; without any care at all, she spoke glibly, “Here we go again! Once we part here, I don’t knoe are going to see each other; can’t you stay a bit longer to keep Feixuan company?”
This was the first tiently to hi about how he destroyed her Jade Annulus of He Clan and she did not even take that into account and did not dispute it, his heart softened and he had no choice but to nod his head in agreement
