Splendor and brilliance abound, with treasures of rarity everywhere.
Here's the translation:

Before I could observe the surroundings clearly, I came face to face with a figure who had just turned around.
She was a beautiful mermaid, tending to her room before Jiang Wang arrived. She stood close to a zither, carefully cleaning its dust with an exquisitely crafted jade brush.

At the sudden sound, he whirled around abruptly. He saw a stranger and with a trembling hand, he plucked at the strings of his instrument. At the same time, he opened his mouth as if to scream.
Jiang Wang hurried forward, stopping the trembling of the qin and silencing the sound with one hand, while covering her lips with the other.

He whispered, "Insolent! Be silent!"
The situation is tense.
Just moved locations, An Yi hadn't had time to establish contact with the environment before being spotted.
And this is in the Qingjiang Water Mansion. Once a strong water creature is alarmed, he wouldn't be able to escape even with several lives. So Jiang Wang's reaction was quite urgent. He immediately imprisoned the woman's Dao Yuan to prevent her from sounding the alarm.
The mermaid girl blinked her eyes, agreeing very obediently. Her long eyelashes were adorned with a few shimmering droplets that had suddenly formed from the surprise, gently falling as she blinked.
It's rather pitiful.
"Kill her, get rid of her quickly!" Jiang Yan was far more intense than Jiang Wang, directly shouting in the Tongtian Palace.
Jiang Wang turned a deaf ear, only looking at the mermaid woman and softly saying, “You promised, didn't you”
The woman blinked again.
"Jiang Wang then slowly loosened his grip: “I don’t want to hurt you. I only passed by here, and I won't cause any harm to Shui Fu. I'll be leaving right away. Just pretend you never saw me, okay”
The mermaid didn't speak, she just stared at him intently, so seriously that Jiang Wang felt bewildered. He couldn't help but wonder if he had been too harsh just now, scaring her silly.
But she only took a moment to look at him, then hesitated before saying, "Master"

The voice of "Master" awakened his memories.
Jiang Wang almost immediately remembered that back by the Qingjiang River, Bai Lian had asked him to do something as the second step in reshaping his moral compass: rescue the aquatic creatures who had been taken captive.

The woman rescued back then, wasn't she the one before me It seemed like... her name was Xiao Shuang.

Jiang Wang instinctively lowered his head to look at the seashell on her chest. Seeing her face flushed, all the way to her neck, he realized his rudeness: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
“It’s fine…” Bai Nü lowered her head, her voice barely a whisper.

She had always kept in her heart the image of the handsome young man she saw when she first woke up from her coma. Even after the destruction of Fenglin City, she secretly cried several times about it.

> Over the past year or so, Jiang Wang has gone through a lot. Her temperament has changed drastically; she is more resolute, more daring, and more confident than ever before, which is why she couldn't confirm it right away.

The joy of an unexpected reunion had washed away the fear.
At that moment, a coarse female voice rang out from outside: "Xiaoshuang, what clumsy things are you doing! That's the Grand Princess's room. If you damage anything, your skin will be peeled off!"
"Oops!" Xiaoshuang quickly replied, "I accidentally bumped the string. Nothing else happened!"
"Oh, for goodness' sake, open your eyes!" the loud, gruff voice grumbled and walked away.
Xiaoshuang stuck out her tongue and looked at Jiang Wang, whispering: "Grandma is actually very kind, she's reminding me! It's just that her voice is a bit loud..."
“Oh, I see.” Jiang Wang was somewhat absentminded.
He was discussing the way forward with Jiang Yan inside Tiangong.
"Master, you came to the Water Temple... is there something" Xiaofang asked softly. Then she shook her head: "If it's inconvenient, don't say anything."
She stole a glance at Jiang Wang: "I want to ask, is there anything I can do to help you."
"Have her take you to find Song Qingzhi, the little girl An An knows. You should remember her." Jiang Yan was scheming again: "She's Song Hengjiang's jewel in the crown; we can use her for self-protection."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Don't bring An'an into this," Jiang Wang replied coldly in the Tongtian Palace. "I wouldn't be so shameless as to use a little girl to blackmail Song Hengjiang."
Along the way, he had been very cooperative with Jiang Yan, almost obedient. This refusal, however, was a clear statement of his bottom line.
The girl he had rescued impulsively, he had almost forgotten. What was more vivid in his memory was the road where she escaped with the white lotus on her back, her courage and passion at that time, her life hanging by a thread.
As for Xiaoshuang's gratitude, Jiang Wang didn't have any expectations. There was a warm feeling in his heart.
After some thought, he spoke, "To be frank with you, I hid in the Water Ministry to avoid trouble. My enemies are hunting me down. When things have calmed down, I will quietly leave."
Xiaoshuang whispered, "This is the room of the late Princess Chang. Except for Shaojun who occasionally comes to sit for a while, no one else will come here usually. You can hide here. I can help you keep an eye on any news from outside."
Jiang Wang smiled warmly: "Thank you so much, you are really kind."
Xiao Shuang blushed again, twisted for a moment, and then said: "What's your enemy like I'll go see if they're still in Qingjiang. Shui Jun and Shao Jun are both at home, I'm not afraid."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
She apparently still didn't know about the standoff between Du Ruhui and Song Hengjiang in front of the Shui Fu.
"He is an old man with white hair." Jiang Wang did not refuse, only reminding him: "If you go to check the situation, be careful."
"I can... I'll go now."
Xiaoshuang spoke in a low voice, then turned and quietly left the room.
Hardly had she left before Jiang Wang followed close behind, intending to sneak out of Qingjiang Shui Fu.
“Why are you leaving” Jiang Yan clearly wasn’t happy with Jiang Wang’s decision. He scoffed in the Tongtian Palace, “Didn’t she tell you to hide here”
"Why say such cold comfort words"
Thousands of divine souls slithered in the depths of the Inner Palace, exploring the unknown, concealing their thoughts. Jiang Wang's main soul still remained in the Heavenly Palace, conversing with Jiang Yan: "The most important thing now is to escape."

He didn't exactly distrust Xiaofang, but he wouldn't entrust his safety to a trust that hadn't been deeply explored.
> Surviving is not an easy task; one must be extremely careful.
"Do you think, leaving the Water Mansion now, that you could escape" Jiang Yan asked again.
The current situation is that Du Ruhui and Song Hengjiang have entered the underwater demon cave. Jiang Wang was forced to, through the bronze mirror, escape to the Qingjiang Water Mansion. For some reason, Jiang Yan did not inform Zhuang Gaoxian that he was also present. However, just having Du Ruhui alone is enough to leave Jiang Wang helpless.
This is a good example.
“Then what do you suggest” Jiang Wang asked, her tone irritated.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!
But this kind of "bad temper" is mostly a cover-up.
Actually, he also agreed with Jiang Yan's judgment in his heart. Du Ruhui apparently had some way to track him down, and he might not have another Qingjiang Shui Fu to hide in.
Therefore, leaving Qingjiang Shui Fu is actually very dangerous, and staying in Qingjiang Shui Fu and waiting for Song Hengjiang to return is also equally dangerous.
"Because you're too weak, we didn't really have a choice... did we"
Jiang Yan said, "Return to the Demon Cave!"

This is a crazy idea.

Under the watchful eyes of one true man and two deities.
