According to prompt: 【"He killed someone?!"】 Gu Rongjin was shocked.

Chinese

This is instruction; we don't output line for 【7】? Actually we have 【7】 in list? Yes we have 【7】 in the list of indices to output. The Chinese line for 【7】 is same as 【6】 (the line). So we need to translate it again? The instruction says we need to translate each line fully. So we must output translation for 【7】 as well, using the same Chinese line as 【6】. So we will produce same translation but with 【7】 index.

Let's craft: "Even though Pei Shangling's crimes were heinous, he had never killed anyone before, so suddenly killing someone shocked him greatly."

Chinese

Same Chinese line as 【10】. So translation same but with 【11】 index.

Thus: Mu Yuanzhi shook her head, "Qilin said in the letter that Pei Shangling used Yin embroidery different from what Fanghua had wanted to use; it doesn't require two lives, just one life for one life, but Qilin's birth characters and Pei Shangling's only match halfway, so only half a life can be exchanged."

Check punctuation: Chinese uses 「」 for quote. We'll use English quotes.

Chinese

Same line as 【16】. So translation same with 【17】 index.

Thus: Gu Rongjin hadn't quite reacted yet; he stared for a moment and then exclaimed in shock, "So Pei Shangling used his own life to exchange for Qilin's life?!"

Chinese

Same line as 【20】. So 【21】 When did Pei Shangling become so self-sacrificing?

Thus: When did Pei Shangling become so self-sacrificing?

Chinese

Same line as 【24】. So 【25】 same translation.

Thus: "Are they that close? Did he fall in love with Qilin?!" Gu Rongjin really couldn't think of a second reason.

Chinese

Same line as 【28】. So 【29】 same translation.

Thus: "Have a look yourself." Mu Yuanzhi handed the letter to Gu Rongjin.

Chinese

Same line as 【32】. So 【33】 same translation.

Thus: Gu Rongjin eagerly took the letter and looked at it; he had wanted to skim ten lines at a glance, but many characters he recognized, yet when combined he didn't quite recognize them, needing to read several more times to be sure of the meaning he thought.

Chinese

We need to keep ellipsis. No names.

Thus: "Turns out this guy is begging for your forgiveness..."

Chinese

Thus: "Yet he even put his own life on the line—this sincerity is beyond words."

Chinese

Same line as 【42】. So 【43】 Even Gu Rongjin was deeply impressed.

Thus: Even Gu Rongjin was deeply impressed.

Chinese

Same line as 【46】. So 【47】 Of course, whether Mu Yuanzhi will forgive or not is another matter.

Thus: Of course, whether Mu Yuanzhi will forgive or not is another matter.

Chinese

Same line as 【50】. So 【51】 Gu Rongjin returned the letter to Mu Yuanzhi.

Thus: Gu Rongjin returned the letter to Mu Yuanzhi.

Chinese

Same line as 【54】. So 【55】 Mu Yuanzhi clutched the letter, a solemn expression on her face.

Thus: Mu Yuanzhi clenched the letter, her face deep in thought.

Chinese

Same line as 【58】. So 【59】 same translation.

We need to keep meaning: "She had indeed witnessed Pei Shangling's frenzy before, but in her previous life it was for Pei Yunxi that she went mad toward her and Qilin."

Chinese

Thus: This time...

Chinese

Same line as 【64】. So 【65】 Gu Rongjin asked, "What are you going to do about Mu Yuanzhi?"

Thus: "What are you planning to do, Mu Yuanzhi?" Gu Rongjin asked.

Chinese

Same line as 【68】. So 【69】 Mu Yuanzhi pursed her lips and remained silent.

Thus: Mu Yuanzhi pressed her lips together, saying nothing.

Chinese

Same line as 【72】. So 【73】 same translation.

Thus: "Do you want to go to Juechen Valley to see him one last time? Although the journey is far, by the time you get there he might have kicked the bucket." Gu Rongjin said.

Chinese

Same line as 【76】. So 【77】 same translation.

Thus: Mu Yuanzhi opened the letter again; the meaning between the lines from Qilin likely also hoped she would go, otherwise he wouldn't have specially written her a letter.

Chinese

Same line as 【80】. So 【81】 same translation.

Thus: "Want to go, Mu Yuanzhi? Whether you go or not, I support you." Gu Rongjin said with a smile to Mu Yuanzhi.

Chinese

Same line as 【84】. So 【85】 same translation.

Thus: "Go ahead, anyway he saved Qilin's life; I previously told him that if he could save Qilin, our past grudges would be wiped clean, and since he's about to die, let's go see him." Mu Yuanzhi said.

Chinese

Same line as 【88】. So 【89】 same translation.

Thus: "Good! I'll try to get leave from His Majesty; worst case, I'll advance our two years' vacation!" Gu Rongjin said.

Chinese

Same line as 【92】. So 【93】 same translation.

Thus: Anyway, Jingcheng is now calm and peaceful; there's nothing for them to handle.

Chinese

Same line as 【96】. So 【97】 same translation.

Thus: Mu Yuanzhi raised an eyebrow: "Are you also coming with me?"

Chinese

Same line as 【100】. So 【101】 same translation.

Thus: "Of course, otherwise who would protect you?" Gu Rongjin thought Mu Yuanzhi asking this question was strange.

Chinese

Same line as 【104】. So 【105】 Whoever goes with his wife, he won't feel at ease!

Chinese

Same line as 【106】. So 【107】 same translation.

instruction, not needed.

Thus: "What about Xiao Tong and Xiao Mo? Leaving them in Jingcheng, are their parents not around?" Mu Yuanzhi felt a bit uneasy.

Chinese

Same line as 【112】. So 【113】 same translation.

Thus: Last time bringing the children to Juechen Valley, they encountered such danger; this time she is unwilling to again bring along a child under four years old.

Chinese

Thus: "Don't forget my parents are also there; they just need to look after them."

Chinese

Thus: "Oh right, I really did forget..."

Chinese

Same line as 【120】. So 【121】 Gu Rongjin teased, "You've been dazed by Pei Shangling's matter."

Thus: "You've been dazed by the Pei Shangling affair." Gu Rongjin teased.

Chinese

Same line as 【124】. So 【125】 Mu Yuanzhi: "Indeed, I'm a bit dazed."

Thus: Mu Yuanzhi: "Indeed, I'm a bit dazed."

Chinese

Thus: She still hasn't recovered yet.

Chinese

Same line as 【130】. So 【131】 Gu Rongjin: "Since we've decided, no delay; you prepare at home, I'll go see His Majesty."

Chinese

Thus: "You go see His Majesty? Or would it be better for me to go see His Majesty?"

Chinese

Same line as 【134】. So 【135】 Gu Rongjin said with a laugh, "I'm thick-skinned, I can banter with His Majesty; you're just a little girl, so don't bother."

Thus: "I'm thick-skinned, I can wrangle with His Majesty; you, a young lady, better not." Gu Rongjin said with a smile.

Chinese

Same line as 【138】. So 【139】 same translation.

Thus: "You're already a mother of two and still a young lady." Mu Yuanzhi was obviously amused by Gu Rongjin's teasing, very happy.

Chinese

Same line as 【142】. So 【143】 same translation.

Thus: "What's wrong with being a mother of two? My wife is vibrant, beautiful as a flower in Jingcheng—no, she's the most beautiful woman in the world!" Gu Rongjin said proudly.

Chinese

Same line as 【146】. So 【147】 Mu Yuanzhi couldn't help but laugh, "Well said, a husband who practices the twenty-four filial piety."

Thus: Mu Yuanzhi couldn't help but laugh: "Well said, a husband who practices the twenty-four filial virtues."

Chinese

Thus: "This isn't just flattery; alright, I'm heading into the palace, see you later!"

Chinese

Thus: "Mm."

Chinese

Note (no Chinese)

Thus: About an hour later, Gu Rongjin returned; seeing Mu Yuanzhi still packing her luggage, his beaming face told her it had succeeded.

Chinese

Thus: "How did it go?"

Chinese

Note

Thus: "Of course no problem! His Majesty also had me bring some precious medicinal herbs for Pei Shangling, and he assigned a Marshal to accompany me, asking if I needed any other Imperial Physicians." Gu Rongjin said.

Chinese

Note

Chinese

Note

Thus: "I didn't ask about that; wouldn't it be good to have one more person?" One more person means Mu Yuanzhi gets an extra bit of safety.

Chinese

Note

Thus: "Indeed." Mu Yuanzhi nodded.

Chinese

Note

Thus: After they packed their luggage, they set out; outside, the Shamanic Physician was already sitting in the carriage waiting.

Chinese

Note

Thus: "I didn't expect it to be my turn to travel with the two of you this time; really delightful." The Shamanic Physician laughed.

Chinese

Note

Chinese

Note

Thus: "Yes, Young Master Jin has already told me." the Shamanic Physician said.

Chinese

Note

Thus: Mu Yuanzhi: "What does the Marshal think?"

Chinese

Note

Thus: Shamanic Physician: "Actually I only have a superficial understanding of Yin embroidery, but every cause has its effect, every mystery has its solution."

Chinese

Note

Thus: Mu Yuanzhi, seeing his mysterious smile, asked: "So you mean Pei Shangling might be savable?"

Chinese

Note

Thus: "It definitely exists; it's just a matter of knowing or not knowing." the Shamanic Physician said profundly.

Chinese

Note

Thus: Gu Rongjin teased: "You've said everything there is to say."

Chinese

Note

Thus: The Shamanic Physician giggled, offering no rebuttal.

The carriage proceeded at a steady speed, this time they took a new route, arriving at Juechen Valley several days faster than before.

"This place really has a strange blend of an otherworldly utopia and the jianghu atmosphere coexisting, yet it appears harmonious." The witch doctor sighed after getting off the carriage.

Gu Rongjin: "The jianghu is now calm and peaceful; Hanlu Village was wiped out in one sweep, so this place naturally regained a hint of that utopia's flavor."

"It's a pity I didn't come with you last time; it must have been a very enjoyable journey."

The one coming out to greet them was Yueyun; this time meeting, the little girl no longer had that previous overbearing feeling, instead bearing the poise of a senior sister, appearing very proper and generous.

She couldn't help but steal a few more glances at the witch doctor's strange attire.

Is this person, emanating a strange aura all over, really the witch doctor my master spoke of?

He really is like the ghosts and monsters in those pulp novels, looking at things with a dark, sinister gaze.

Is he a good person?

Such scrutinizing gazes are ordinary for the witch doctor, so he usually doesn't pay much attention.

"Senior Uncle and the two honored guests, please come; my master is waiting for you up in the valley." Yueyun this time calling Mu Yuanzhi master didn't seem as reluctant.

Mu Yuanzhi asked her: "How is your master? Is he really alright?"

The Qilin has a habit of reporting good news but not bad; Mu Yuanzhi felt a bit uneasy about that.

Yueyun: "As for Senior Uncle, the master is doing very well; these two fifteenths have had no relapse."

Mu Yuanzhi hearing this finally relaxed: "Then that's good."

I suppose Pei Shangling's method really works!

"Stop dawdling, let's hurry to the valley." Gu Rongjin urged.
