Chapter 96: Discord
顾云兰看着田乐瑶慢慢消散的身影和二老伤心的哭泣，一怔，如果前世的自己没有遇到轩辕应，不说连收尸的人也没有，恐怕都成了孤魂野鬼，飘荡于乱世。
Seeing Tian Leyao slowly disappearing and two elderly crying sadly, Gu Yunlan stared blankly. If she didn’t meet Xuanyuan Ying in the previous life, then setting aside the fact there wasn’t even anyone to take care of her corpse, then perhaps she would have become a lonely, wild ghost floating aimlessly in the chaotic world.
就这么一刻，她发现自己恨白琳珑将臣比恨杨锦还要恨，若不是他们，世间少了多少无辜的灵魂？为什么他们就不能像轩辕应一样？不说做好人，但至少不害人啊！
In this short period of time, she found herself hating Bai Linlong and Jiang Chen more than Yangjing. If it weren’t for them, wouldn’t this world be few innocent souls less? Why can’t they be like Xuanyuan Ying? Forget being a good person, but at least don’t harm others!
其实田乐瑶是幸运的，最起码，遇到了他们，她还有投胎的机会，最起码她在最后，看到了亲人。
That Tian Leyao is actually rather lucky. At least, she met them and had the chance to escape. At least, she saw her parents in the end.
不像她的惨死，如果不是轩辕应，呵呵，这一次，她不再因为实力不足畏惧和白琳珑将臣正面交锋了，她要先解决了白琳珑，再来面对将臣……
Unlike her own terrible death, if it weren’t for Xuanyuan Ying.. heh heh, this time she won’t be too weak to fight against Bai Linlong and Jiang Chen. She’ll first get rid of Bai Linlong, then face Jiang Chen…
回去时候，远远看去，顾城那边响起了烟花爆竹声，午夜已经到了。
When they returned, they could hear the fireworks booming above Gu City from far away. New Years dinner has started.
轩辕应无奈的背着顾云兰，有些嘀咕道，“你呀！明明怕黑怕鬼，偏偏喜欢装好人！”
Xuanyuan Ying carried Gu Yunlan on his back helplessly, saying somewhat sarcastically, “Look at you! Clearly you’re so afraid of the dark and ghosts, yet still insist on acting like a benefactor!”
“轩辕！”顾云兰轻声的抬起头，看着远处顾城的烟火，“新年快乐！”
“Xuanyuan!” Gu Yunlan lifted her head lightly to look at the Gu City fireworks far away, “Happy New Year!”
“真拿你没办法！”轩辕应无奈的摇头，“本来可以一下飞回去的，偏偏要走回去！怎么，这次不怕鬼了？”
“I really don’t know what to do with you!” Xuanyuan Ying shook his held helplessly, “We could have descended the mountain by flying, but you insisted on walking! What, you’re not afraid of ghosts anymore?”
“怕鬼＼怕！”顾云兰趴在他背上，情绪有些低落，“可是轩辕，刚刚看到田乐瑶那一幕，我想找出白琳珑！”
“Afraid!” Gu Yunlan laid on his back, her consciousness starting to drop, “But, Xuanyuan Ying, seeing Tian Leyao circumstances, I want to find Bai Linlong!”
“你对她起了情心？”轩辕应问道，轩辕应说的她就是田乐瑶。
“You feel sorry for her?” Xuanyuan Ying asked. ‘Her’ referred to Tian Leyao.
“没有！”顾云兰摇摇头，同情？说不上，她只是不想世间多几个孤魂野鬼，“只是不想死更多无辜的人，看到她们惨死，我就想到前世的自己，如果不是遇到你，我……”
“I do not!” Gu Yunlan shook her head, empathy? Who knows, perhaps she just didn’t want the world to have a few wild ghosts more, “I just don’t want any more innocent people to die. Seeing how tragically she died, it reminded me of myself in the last life. If it weren’t for meeting you, I’d…”
她停顿了一下，继续道，“我知道我心软，可是，我和白琳珑已经结下了梁子，对着干，是迟早的事！”
She stopped, but then continued, “I know my heart is soft, but Bai Linlong and I are beyond reconciliation. A bout like this is bound to happen sooner or later!
“难道你就不怕她和紫罗兰也有牵连？”到时候她就该如何处置？轩辕应此刻我些头疼。
“Are you not afraid that she and Zi Luolan are working together?” How would she act if this was true? Xuanyuan Ying could feel a headache starting.
轩辕应这一问，顾云兰顿住了，她怕么？她怕，怕所有的一切都和紫罗兰有关，怕她是幕后黑手之一，可是若是没有关呢？她不想失去前世唯一帮她的朋友。
Gu Yunlan paused at Xunyuan Ying’s question, is she afraid? She is afraid; afraid of everything to do with Zi Luolan; afraid that she was actually the dark hand behind the curtains. However what if she isn’t? She doesn’t want to lose the only friend who helped her in the previous life.
“如果她根本不知情或是被白琳珑胁迫的呢？”顾云兰试图解释着，她的内心有些挣扎，不管怎么说，白琳珑还在紫家的事实是不争的事实。
“What if she wasn’t willing at all but was rather forced by Bai Linlon?” Gu Yunlan tested another theory. Her emotions were turbulent. No matter what, it was irrefutable that Bai Linlong resides in the Zi household.
“纯属于自我安慰！”轩辕应嗤之以鼻，他眉头皱起，“你能找到白琳珑又怎么样？证明了她们没关系又能怎么办？别忘了，你根本不是她的对手！”
“Those are all merely comforting words!” Xuanyuan Ying snorted. He wrinkled his brows, “So what if you can find Bai Linlong? So what if you find their relation? Don’t forget, you are not her opponent at all!”
“我知道我的实力不强，在她手底下过不了一招。”顾云兰糯糯的低着头，叹了口气，“我这么做，只是不想有一日，我们腹部受敌。”
“I know I’m weak, unable to last even a single blow.” Gu Yunlan lowered her head reluctantly, sighing, “If we keep going like this, I’m afraid we’d end up stabbed in the stomach one day.”
“我知道你不赞同。”顾云兰固执的看着他，“可是我想知道紫家究竟隐藏着什么，想知道罗兰和白琳珑究竟有没有关系，如果他们没关系。
“I know you agree.” Gu Yunlan looked at him with determination, “But I want to know what exactly the Zi Family is hiding. I want to know for sure that Luolan and Bai Linlong has no relations, if they truly don’t.”
“你还是在心软！如果有关系呢？你下的了手对付紫罗兰么？”轩辕应放下她，就着月光定定的看着她，一字一句道，“顾云兰，如果你狠不下心，我希望你不要去惹麻烦！”
“You’re still so soft! What if they do? You would start acting against Zi Luolan?” Xuayuan Ying let her down, looking unwaveringly at her under the moonlike. A word per sentence, he said, “Gu Yunlan, if you can’t make your resolve, I hope you won’t go looking for trouble!”
惹麻烦？他在嫌弃自己惹麻烦？顾云兰的心有那么一刻停歇，她忘记了，他们最初只是合作关系，如今她没有利用价值了么？
Looking for trouble? He’s criticizing her for looking for trouble? Gu Yunlan’s heart seemed to come to a rest. She had forgotten, their relation only started as an agreement. Does that mean she no longer has value?
轩辕应叹气的拉起她的手朝顾城走去，“你想多了，我们合作关系是在你的血液发生变化时就终止了，但是，我说扔下你不管，我不让你惹麻烦，只是不想你有危险，我能帮你的不多，计划赶不上变化，你的血液已经不适合我了，除非我们双修，我想恢复实力，依旧需要杀戮之气。”
Xuanyuan Ying sighed as he pulled on her hand, walking closer, “You’re thinking too much. Our agreement for exchanging blood ended once the change was complete. However, when I say toss you aside and forbid you from causing trouble, it’s only because I don’t want you to be in danger. There’s not much I can do to help you. The plans can’t keep up with how things are changing. Your blood is no longer suitable for me unless we dual cultivate. I want to recover my strength, and need slaughter qi to do so.”
“这么快么？”顾云兰一愣，他又要掀起战乱么，那又有多少人颠肺流离？
“This quickly?” Gu Yunlan hesitated; he wanted to trigger a war? Then how many people people will lose their home and life?
“战争不是我挑起的，我们无权改变历史的走向，我也不会去改变，你的血液帮不了我，我需要杀戮之气，最后为的也是我们，你别忘了我们有共同的一个敌人！”轩辕应眉头皱起，为什么她就认定一定是他掀起战争的？
“I wasn’t the one started the war, there’s no way we can change the course of history, neither with I try. Your blood can’t help me so I need slaughter qi. In the end it’s for our sake, don’t forget we have the same enemy!” Xuanyuan Ying creased his brow, why is she so sure he was the one who caused the war?
“我，我没有怪你……”顾云兰有些支吾，她只是心底抱怨了两句而已。
“I, I wasn’t blaming you…” Gu Yunlan was a bit hesitant, she only complained two phrases in her heart.
“战争不是我想发动就发动的，其实年前军阀之乱就已经爆发了，只不过被我把消息强制性的压住了，否则都兵临城下了，城里的百姓能不慌么？”轩辕应叹了口气，那些日子，他忙坏了，又是照顾井里的她，又是往军营跑。
“War isn’t something I can start just because I want to. The war a year ago was actually already in motion, I only suppressed the news of it by mandatory order, otherwise all the soldiers would be sent down. How can the city citizens not panic then?” Xuanyuan Ying sighed. He was ridiculously busy back then, he had to run between taking care of her and the army barracks.
“对不起！”顾云兰心下愣住了，苦笑着，这么大的事情，他居然没有告诉自己。
“I’m sorry!” Gu Yunlan froze, smiling bitterly. He didn’t even tell her something as huge as this.
若是大帅之位父亲没有辞去，此刻的她，遇上战争，也许尸骨无存了吧？她居然还怨他掀起战争，他护住了一方百姓的安危。
If her father’s position as a Marshal wasn’t passed on, then in her current condition, wouldn’t a war may as well leave her without even a corpse? Yet she still complained about him starting a war when he really protected the people from danger.
“我要的不是你的对不起！”轩辕应停住脚，定定的看着她，柔声道，“从来都不是，最初救你也只是被你的恨意和体质吸引，现在哪怕你对于我来说，毫无作用，但至少能陪着我度过今后漫长的岁月……”
“What I want isn’t your apology!” Xuanyuan Ying halted his steps, looking at her fixedly and said softly, “I never did, I saved you back then because I was attracted to your hate and physique. I’m afraid right now, you are of no use to me. But at least you could accompany me throughout the slow, long days…
轩辕应最后的声音很低，似乎在自言自语，他的语气顿了顿，最后叹息道，“我只是不想你再次吃亏，如果她们真的联手，你根本不是她对手，这段时间，我很忙，只能晚上赶回来，你懂我的意思么？”
Xuanyuan Ying’s voice was very low, almost as if he was talking to himself. He stopped talking for a bit, but then took a breath to say, “I just don’t want you to be wronged again. If they are really working together, you’re not a match for them at all. I’ll be very busy these days and can only come back at night. Do you understand what I mean?”
“嗯！” 顾云兰抿抿嘴，点点头，心里却再次惊呆了，有些理解不了他话里的意思。
“En!” GU Yunlan pursed her lips, nodding. Her heart was once again jolted, there were some things he said that she didn’t quite understand.
“别想太多，哪怕你想找到她，也需要一段时间，”轩辕应看着她发愣安慰道，只是她依旧愁眉不展，他眉头皱起，问道，“你还有什么想不通？”
“Don’t think too much. Even if you wanted to find her, it’d take a while.” Xuanyuan Ying comforted, seeing her blank expression. But her eyebrows still wouldn’t relax. He creased his brows, asking, “Is there anything else you don’t get?”
顾云兰眸子闪了闪，犹豫了片刻问道，“漫长的岁月？是什么意思？”
Gu Yunlan’s pupils shifted, pondering for a moment before asking, “‘Long, slow days’? What does that mean?”
“咳咳！”轩辕应轻咳两声，扶正她的肩膀严肃的道，“我只说一遍，你听清楚了，本尊准许你跟着本尊了！就这意思！”
“Cough cough!” XUanyuan Ying slightly coughed twice. He held onto her shoulders and said solemnly, “I will only say this once, so you listen clearly. This senior will allow you to follow this senior! Just this meaning!”
“不是！哪怕我跟着你，也只有几十年啊！怎么漫长？”顾云兰依旧没有得要想要的答案，她问的不是这个。
“No wait! Even if I follow you, it’d only be for a few more decades! How would it be long and slow?” Gu Yunlan still didn’t get the answer she was looking for. That wasn’t what she was asking.
她这话一出口，轩辕应有些头疼的放下手，他心里有些遗憾又有些松口气，这丫头的注意力不在这上面，她居然纠结漫长的岁月了。
As she said this, Xuanyuan Ying put down his hands in a headache. His heart felt regretful yet felt as if he could release a breath. This girl wasn’t focused on that part, but rather confused about the ‘long and slow days.’
“你不知道自己修炼了？”轩辕应诧异的看着她，看到她点头，朝前走去继续道，“你修炼出了羽液，知道代表什么吗？从此以后，你就踏入了漫漫岁月的一族了！”
“You don’t know about your cultivation?” Xuanyuan Ying looked at her in surprise. Seeing her nod, he strided forward a few steps before continuing, “You cultivated the Yu Ye, you know what that means? From then on, you’ve entered the ranks of the long-lived!”
顾云兰跟着他走着，忽然恍然大悟，“你是说，我也长生不老了？”
Gu Yunlan followed his steps, suddenly came to a realization, “So you’re saying, I’ll also live long without again?”
轩辕应摇摇头，“也不是，只能说，你的寿命增长了！”
Xuanyuan shook his head, “Not exactly. I can only say that your lifespan has increased!”
顾云兰忽然眸子一转，问道，“那轩辕叔叔，你现在多大了？”
Gu Yunlan suddenly shifted her pupils, asking, “Then, Uncle Xuanyuan, how old are you now?”
轩辕应一把揽住她的脖子凑近到，小声的说，“你真想知道？我的年龄只告诉我夫人，你确定要知道么？我小声的告诉你！”
Xuanyuan Ying pulled her closer by the beck, saying with a quiet voice, “You want to know? I only tell my age to wife, you really want to now? I’ll tell you quietly!”
“咳咳！呃，那我还是不要知道得了。”顾云兰猛的推开他，轻咳两声，有些不自在的撇开脸，她终于明白他最初那句话的意思了，只是，她的心里有些乱，她好久没有考虑感情的问题了……
“Cough cough! Uh, then I’ll just not know.” Gu Yunlan pushed him away abruptly, coughing twice. She shifted her face away rather unnaturally; now she knows what his last words means. Only, her heart felt rather turbulent. She hasn’t even considered those feeling for a long time…
“别纠结了，逗你玩的！兵来将挡！愁什么！”轩辕应眸子深潋，她的反应，他就知道，她有些抗拒自己，只是，他不想强迫她，一切顺其自然吧！他看了眼天色道，“天快亮了，我们飞回去吧！”
“No need to confuse yourself, I was just joking! –! What are you worrying about!” Xuanyuan Ying’s pupils deepened. He anticipated her reaction, she’s not really willing. Only, he didn’t want to force her and preferred to wait for her acceptance! He glanced at the sky, “The sun is coming up, let’s fly back!”
回府洗个澡，小眯一会儿，天就亮了，顾云兰却畏在床上，不想起床，昨晚迷迷糊糊的被轩辕应送了回来，她的脑子到现在还是一片浆糊。
After going back to take a shower, take a short nap, the sky lightened. Gu Yunlan stayed stuck to her bed, unwilling to get up. Last night Xuanyuan Ying somehow sent her back, even now, her head felt like mushy paste.
军阀之乱还没结束，轩辕应帮不了自己，可是她不想等白琳珑的实力恢复，那时候，她更不是她对手，她不喜欢坐以待毙，她必须找到抑制白琳珑的东西，对了！点点！
The military mess hadn’t ended yet so Xuanyuan Ying can’t help her. However she didn’t want to wait until Bai Linlong regained her strength. By then, she’d be even less of an opponent. Neither did she like to sit around idly, she must find something that can suppress Bai Linlong, oh right! Diandian!
她差点忘记上次就是点点把白琳珑重伤的，点点还在茧中不知何时才能破茧而出，不知道梦梦有没有好办法？
She almost forgot that last time, it was Diandian that heavily injured Bai Linlong. Diandian was still in the cocoon, and she didn’t know when it’ll come out. Perhaps Mengmeng has a solution?
想到这里，她连忙爬起来，不再恋床，穿好里衣和中衣，看到繁琐的旗袍，她果断的放弃了，为什么就能有件她可以穿的衣服呢？欣儿要是不在，她怎么办呢？
Thinking of this, she immediately crawled up. No longer sticking to her bed, she put on her undergarments and middle clothing. Seeing the detailed qipao, she immediately gave up on it. Why didn’t she have any clothing she could put on on her own? If Xin’er wasn’t present, how would she survive?
“小姐！你醒了？新年好呀！”欣儿推门而进，看到顾云兰拿着衣服在那发呆，连忙走了过来，接过她手里的衣服帮她穿好。
“Young Miss! You’ve awoken? Happy New Year!” Xin’er pushed open the door and entered. Seeing Gu Yunlan holding the clothing blankly, she immediately walked over and took the clothing to help her wear it.
看到欣儿帮自己穿好衣服，她沉思片刻，道，“欣儿，你去跟梦梦说下，我们等下去藤衣阁逛逛！”
Seeing Xin’er helping her put it on, she fell into a deep thought, and said, “Cin’er, go tell Mengmeng we’re going to go to Vine Clothing Pavilion for a walk!”
“小姐！哪有大年初一逛街的，多不吉利！”欣儿推着她在梳妆台前坐了下来，边帮她梳头，边嘀咕道，“老古话说了，新年的第一天钱外出，这一年都赚不到钱！”
“Young Miss! Nobody wanders the streets on the first of a new year, how unlucky!” Xin’er pushed her to sit at the vanity. While helping her brush her hair, she chattered away, “According to superstitions, you should avoid spending money on the first day of the new year otherwise this entire year you won’t be able to get money!”
顾云兰白了她一眼，“小丫头片子，哪里来的那么多老古话！不用你去通知！等下，我直接去找她！”
Gu Yunlan gave her a look, “Little trickster, where all these superstitions come from! I don’t need informing her anymore! In a bit, I’ll go find her myself!”
“我去还不行么！”欣儿看到自家小姐发狠话，她连忙妥协。
“What’s wrong with me going!” Hearing her family’s Young Miss’s angry words, she immediately backed off.
等主仆四人出府时，已经日上三竿了，顾云兰和轩辕梦走在前面，欣儿和阿沐走在后面。
By the time the four people left the house, it was already late in the afternoon. Gu Yunlan and Xuanyuan Meng walked in the front, Xin’er and A’Mu walked behind them.
“梦梦！有没有东西可以让茧早点化出来的？”顾云兰凑近轩辕梦小声道。
“Mengmeng! Do you have anything that can help the cocoon break early?” Gu Yunlan leaned close to Xuanyuan Meng and whispered quietly.
“点点结茧子了？”轩辕梦好奇的看着她。
“Diandian is in a cocoon?” Xuanyuan Meng looked at her curiously.
“嗯！从紫家回来就已经结茧了！”顾云兰点点头，后来，她忘记告诉她了。
“Yes! It’s been a cocoon since we came back from the Zi Household!” Gu Yunlan nodded. She had forgotten to tell her afterwards.
“化茧这事怎么能急？你别心急！太急只会弄巧成拙！”轩辕梦有些不解的看着她，云兰这是受什么刺激了？平时很冷静的一个人，今天这是怎么了？
“How can you hurry the cocoon process? Don’t be in a rush! Rushing too much will only ruin the rare opportunity for success!” Xuanyuan Meng looked at her rather quizzically. What’s making Yunlan so anxious? Usually she’s an icy calm person, what happened today?
