第96章 番外（四）大靖旧事

凤箫声动，玉壶光转,一夜鱼龙舞。
白天瑞喜欢喝酒,却很少会醉。
他吻住那双渴望许久的薄唇的那一刻,却无比的希望自己真的醉了。若是醉了，便看不见玄青眼神中的怜悯和慈悲，若是醉了，便不会知道玄青对自己并无一丝情谊。
Pushed aside as a matter of course, Bai Tianrui took a few steps back greedily staring at Xuan Qing. However, when he saw the look in Xuan Qing's eyes clearly, all of the desire in his heart turned into anger.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a child!!!" The angry shout sounded so powerless as Bai Tianrui watched Xuan Qing leave with wide eyes during the day.
The back of the monk was still as straight as when he came, moving gracefully with every gesture.
During the day, Rui watched Xuanqing walk away, standing alone in the alley for a long time. As night fell, the lights in Dajing gradually dimmed, and it fell into endless silence. He turned and stumbled away.
Sure, here's the translation with the original HTML tags preserved:```htmlThat night, Bai Tianrui didn't sleep at all. Whenever he closed his eyes, the soft touch of Xuanqing's lips appeared in his mind. He couldn't tell if it was his illusion, but he always felt a faint sandalwood fragrance on Xuanqing's lips.```
白天瑞苦笑着想，这或许就是魔障了吧。
按照往日的习惯，玄青离开之前会去宫里向白经纶辞行，所以白天瑞也没有太急。可谁知这一次白天瑞却不按常理出牌，等白天瑞到客栈时，竟是得知他已经离开了。
As he looked at Lin Rufei's innocent expression, Bai Tianrui cursed under his breath and turned to leave, his back revealing a hint of embarrassment. However, when he reached the city gate, the monk had already disappeared.
Xuanqing's whereabouts were lost, and once he left Dajing, it was impossible to find his trail. During the day, Bairui was filled with hatred and stood at the city gate cursing, disregarding the looks of surprise and fear from those around him.
"A monk may run away, but a temple cannot." Bai Tianrui gritted his teeth and almost crushed the sword in his hand.
In the following years, as Bai Tianrui had anticipated, he couldn't find any trace of Xuanqing at all.
Xuanqing, the monk, is unknown in the world, even if he had done something, it may not necessarily be known that it was him. To find his whereabouts is like searching for a needle in the sea.
However, Baitianrui is not in a hurry, he knows where Xuanqing will go.
Four years later, the Kunlun Sword Conference.
Holding the invitation card sent by Lin Rufei, Bai Tianrui arrived at Kunlun during the day.
By now, four years had passed since they last met. For ordinary people, four years might have been a long time, but for them, it was just a snap of the fingers.
在剑会上，白天瑞果然见到了玄青。
玄青笑意盈盈的同林家小公子说着什么，两人脸上都浮着温柔的神色，乍看起来格外相似，这种温柔不同于看遍万物的慈悲，带着真实的温度。
```htmlEven though Bai Tianrui refused to admit it during the day, he was indeed jealous. He tightly grasped the sword by his side, took slow steps forward, and walked to Xuan Qing's side.
Xuan Qing smiled and turned his head, just like the expression he had when they parted four years ago, gently calling him, "Young Master Bai." His tone and demeanor were impeccable, as if he had only seen an old friend he hadn't met in a long time.```
During the day, Bai Tianrui said, "Master Xuanqing, long time no see."
"Long time no see," Xuanqing responded in a gentle voice.
"I didn't expect Master Xuanqing to really come." Bai Tianrui narrowed his eyes in confusion, "It seems that Master Xuanqing has a really good relationship with Lin Gongzi."
"Lin Gongzi is my friend," Xuan Qing said. He half-lowered his neck, but did not notice that when he said the word "friend," the powerful Prince Jing in front of him suddenly contracted his pupils, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
```html“Friend?” Chewing on the word, Bai Tianrui laughed, “I see.” He turned and left.
“Is it really a good idea to provoke him like that?” Lin Rufei seemed to have noticed something and asked hesitantly.```
玄青神情疑惑，仿佛不知道林如翡这话什么意思：“刺激？”
林如翡看着玄青脸上的迷惑不似作假，失笑道：“和尚可曾喜欢过什么人？”
Xuanqing said: "Monks only believe in the Buddha, how can they have desires."
"That's true," Lin Rufei said, "then the little prince must be suffering."
At the lively banquet, Lin Rufei, as the host, naturally drank a lot of alcohol. During the day, Bairi did not join in the fun and drank alone on the side.
It seemed that the drinks on Kunlun were different from those in the mortal world. After drinking a lot, he started to feel a bit drunk. Someone next to him laughed and asked if this young master had something bothering him, why was he sitting here drinking alone and ignoring Rui during the day.
直到酒席渐入尾声，某个坐在角落里的和尚，起身告辞。
白天瑞把手里的酒杯放下，也跟了出去。
两人走到外头，玄青察觉了他的动作，停下脚步，扭身看向他。四年时光，未曾在这位和尚的面容上留下分毫痕迹，他还是四年前的模样，还用四年前同样的目光看着他。
“玄青。”他没有叫他和尚，而是唤了他的名字。
玄青抬眸看着白天瑞。
“你四年前，为何不告而别？”白天瑞问他。
Xuan Qing smiled and said, "The monk has already sent a letter to the emperor. How can you say he left without telling anyone?"
Bai Tianrui gritted his teeth and said, "You sent a letter to my brother, what about me?"
Xuan Qing replied, "Master Bai."
Bai Tianrui: "Hmm?"
Xuan Qing said, "Do you like flowers?"
Bai Tianrui frowned at him and said, "What does it matter if I like them?"
Xuan Qing asked, "Have you ever planted any?"
Bai Tianrui pursed his lips and remained silent.
Xuanqing said, "The monk likes flowers but never goes to plant them."
Datian Rui understood Xuanqing's meaning and gritted his teeth, saying, "Is it just because flowers wither?"
Xuanqing smiled and replied, "No, it's because to the monk, flowers and grass are the same, whether they bloom or wither."
```htmlDuring the day, Bai Tianrui smirked bitterly: "So you liken me to a flower, meaning that whether it's a flower, grass, or even a roadside stone, in your eyes, they are all the same?"
"Yes." Xuan Qing's voice remained gentle, but Bai Tianrui, pierced by this simple word, shouted hoarsely, "What about Lin Rufei—what about Lin Rufei?"```
玄青奇怪的看着白天瑞。
白天瑞道：“他在你的眼里，也是一块石头？”
玄青道：“自然不是。”
白天瑞说：“那他是什么？”
Xuan Qing blinked and smiled, "He is…the ruler of the world."
Bai Tianrui's eyes turned bloodshot, "Xuan Qing, won't you give me a chance?"
Xuan Qing remained silent, quietly watching Bai Tianrui. Perhaps it was Bai Tianrui's desperate gaze that caused him to let out a low sigh, and he said, "Young Master Bai, why must you do this?"
白天瑞惨笑一声，转身便走，走时步履显得有些踉跄。
玄青静静的看着他，低头念了一声，阿弥陀佛。
这是两人之后一百多年间的最后一次相见，白天瑞离开了剑会，却没有回大靖，玄青也未曾再见过到。
```htmlOne day, Xuan Qing went to worship Bai Jingzhuang. Bai Jingzhuang had passed away for many years by then. Xuan Qing took advantage of the Qingming Festival and went to clean the tomb in the light rain.
Being an emperor, the tombstone was exceptionally clean, but Xuan Qing noticed a small white flower growing in the corner of the tombstone.```
As if possessed, Xuan Qing half crouched down and gently stroked the trembling little flower in the rain. He then lifted the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and held it above the flower.
"Xuan Qing," someone called out to him.
Xuan Qing looked up, but saw nothing.
Is it an illusion? Xuan Qing wondered if he had heard Bai Tianrui's voice.
