这时，蓝忘机似乎还嫌这一掌不够表达他的愤怒，又推了温宁一掌，直把他推出几丈之外。 Just then, as if Lan Wangji thought his smack didn’t properly convey his anger, he shoved Wen Ning several meters away. 他很不高兴地冲温宁道：“走开。” “Go away,” he snapped at Wen Ning, upset.

魏无羡心头一酥，趴到他耳边，小声叫道：“蓝二哥哥。” Wei Wuxian’s heart went soft, and he leaned down beside his ear, whispering, “Lan-er-gege.”

“给你。都给你。” “For you. All for you.”

他道：“忘机兄。” “Wangji-xiong,” he said. 蓝忘机岿然不动。 Lan Wangji was unmoved. 魏无羡道：“忘机。” “Wangji,” Wei Wuxian said. 听若未闻。 Still nothing. 魏无羡：“蓝忘机。” “Lan Wangji.” 魏无羡：“蓝湛！” “Lan Zhan!”

蓝景仪嘴里的一只鸡翅掉了下来。落进碗里, 酱汁四溅，溅脏了他的胸口。 A chicken wing fell out of Lan Jingyi’s mouth. It landed into his bowl, splattering sauce everywhere, getting all over the front of his robes.

“我在。” “I’m here.”

忽然，江澄侧目道：“你叫谁？” “Who’s name did you just call out?” Jiang Cheng said suddenly, eyes narrowed.

“温宁是一把刀，一把让他们害怕的刀，但也是一把他们用来作为攻击你的借口的刀。我们去了，你没了这把刀，他们，也就没有借口了。这事儿，也许就完了。” “Wen Ning is a knife—a knife they are afraid of, a knife they are using as an excuse to attack you. Once we go, once you no longer have this knife, they won’t have any excuses anymore. This whole ordeal—it might just end.”

魏无羡自言自语道：“奇也怪哉。这么闷的一个人，怎么能总是让我这么开心呢？” “How odd,” Wei Wuxian said to himself. “How can such a stuffy person always bring me so much joy?”

忽然，蓝忘机道：“痛苦吗。” “Was it painful?” Lan Wangji suddenly asked. 温宁：“什么？” “What?” Wen Ning said. 蓝忘机道：“剖丹，痛苦吗。” “The core excision. Was it painful?” Lan Wangji said. 温宁道：“如果我说不痛苦，蓝公子你也不会信吧。” “Even if I said it wasn’t, you wouldn’t believe me, would you, Lan-gongzi,” Wen Ning said.

“兄长，我，想带一人回云深不知处。” “Brother, I… want to bring someone back to the Hidden Cloud Depths.” 蓝曦臣讶然道：“带人回云深不知处？” “Bring someone back?” Lan Xichen asked, surprised.

“不许吹给他听。” “You’re not allowed to play it for him.” 魏无羡揶揄道：“你怎么这么霸道呀。” “How come you’re being so bossy?” Wei Wuxian teased. 蓝忘机不高兴地重复道：“不许吹给他听！” “You’re not allowed to play it for him!” Lan Wangji repeated, upset.

温宁双膝跪地，五指深深插入土地之中，抓起了一把漆黑的泥土，握在手心，低声道：“……姐姐。” Wen Ning kneeled down, both knees on the ground. He dug his fingers deep into the soil, brought up a fistful of black earth, and quietly said, “…Jiejie.”

魏无羡不再挖下去了。 Wei Wuxian stopped digging. 他退后几步，耳中嘈杂声如潮水般汹涌而放肆。 He took a few steps back. The cacophony in his ears crashed over him like a tidal wave, unforgiving. 他几乎能确定了。这整座石堡厚厚的墙壁里，全都填满了人的尸骨。 He was pretty much certain of it now. The thick walls of the fortress were filled with human remains.

“蓝湛，今晚的事，对不起啊。” “Lan Zhan, about what happened tonight—I’m sorry.” 沉默一阵，蓝忘机低声道：“你不必对我说这个词。” There was a moment of silence. Then, Lan Wangji quietly said, “There is no need for you to say those words to me.”

唯有愤怒，才能把他心中其他的情绪压下去。 Only in his rage could he bury the other emotions in his heart.

“好疼啊……含光君你喝醉了之后真没礼貌。” “It hurts so bad… Hanguang-jun, you don’t have any manners when you’re drunk.” 蓝忘机眼也不抬，道：“自作自受。” Without even looking up, Lan Wangji said, “You get what you deserve.”

“让他哭。哭累了，拖进去。” “Let him cry. When he tires, drag him inside.”

魏无羡道：“什么样的？嗯，含光君这样的，我就很喜欢。” “What type?” Wei Wuxian asked. “Well, I really like men like Hanguang-jun.”

[…] 金光瑶道：“他怎么能不听我的呢？魏公子你也不想想，他的性命可悬在我手里啊。” “How can he disobey me?” Jin Guangyao said. “Just think about it, Wei-gongzi—his life is in my hands.”

没有人会被永远奉在神坛之上，传说也仅仅只是传说而已。 No one is put on a pedestal forever—and legends are merely legends, nothing more.

“魏无羡死了。大快人心！” “Wei Wuxian is dead. Justice has prevailed!”
