391: Hoo Ha 391: Hoo Ha Editor: Exodus Tales  半个时辰后,陆明舒结束了问话,重新用催眠术让付明溪昏睡过去.

After half an hour, Lu Mingshu finally finished questioning Fu Mingxi, She used hypnotism to let Fu Mingxi fall asleep again.

她直起身,看着地上这两人若有所思.

She stood up to tidy her clothes and scanned the two-person lying on the floor.

付明溪不算什么,一个蠢货,连周茵如都比不上.但是,她透露出来的一些事就很有意思了.

To be honest, Fu Mingxi is an idiot.

Even Zhou Yinru is smarter than her, thus Lu Mingshu has never expected her to give some interesting answers.

But Lu Mingshu was wrong.

原来她和周妙如想到一块去了.

~No wonder she’s Zhou Miaoru’s flesh and blood.

They think alike, huh?~   神女祭.她想利用神女祭,一举夺下上祭的名额,证明自己的实力.然后让宇文师去玩心计,跟周家夺权.

Deity’s festival.

An even that Lu Mingshu intends to use as a stepping stone.

To prove her ability, let Yu Wen Shi do all the playing of mind games and successfully take down the Zhou’s.

没想到,周妙如会这么急,也想借着神女祭废了她.

~Wow, I see my stepmother could not wait anymore huh?

Using the deity’s festival as a chance to get rid of me.~   看来,她真的很忌惮自己.也对,二十二岁的出神境,是很吓人呢!

~I guess she must be very afraid of her stepdaughter.

Well, I am so powerful that even I am afraid of myself too!~   也好,周妙如不发难,她还得靠宇文师慢慢来,周妙如要发难,倒是给了她一个机会.

~Well, thank you very much, stepmother.

If you did not act, it will take Yu Wen Shi sometime.

Thank you for creating this opportunity for Yu Wen Shi to take action.~   至于现在么,她不介意先闹上一场.

~As of now….I do not mind putting up a show.~   “小呆!” “Little daze!”   “吁!”小呆从低空落下.

“Neigh!” Little daze descended from the sky.

“帮我驼这两个人回去.” “Help me get the two of them back.”   “噫!”有点嫌弃地撇开头.这两个人好脏,会弄脏它漂亮的皮毛!

“Eek!” Little daze looked away.

~One covered in blood and the other covered in mud?

It would dirty my gorgeous fur!~   “乖,回去让惠姨给你做竹笋包子吃.” “Come, I’ll get Hui Niang to make you asparagus buns when we get back.”   “希溜溜!”马上欢快起来了.

“Neigh!” Little daze immediately obeyed.

将两具”尸体”甩上马背,再把小布抱回来,牵着小呆出了秘地.

After placing the “corspe” on little daze, Lu Mingshu went to get little boo and went out of the secret place leading little daze.

守卫的珍兽之前被服了特殊药物的箭猪血刺激得发狂,这会儿精疲力尽,只睁眼看了看,又闭上继续休息了.

After being fed with special medications, the precious beast who is supposed to guard has no energy left.

It laid on the ground and opened it eyes to check when Lu Mingshu is walking out.

After making sure that there’s nothing bad happening, it went back to rest.

…

知真院内.

The truth courtyard.

“快快快,东西都抬到那边去.” “Move faster, and yeah, there.

That’s right.”   “人呢?把上品都挑出来,品质一点都不能马虎,知道吗?” “Hello?

Do your work!

What do you think you are doing?”  “Get the top quality ones out!

I only want to see the top tier quality stuff and nothing else, get it?” [split into two to make it sound nicer.]   掌事大声喝斥着,指令弟子们干活.

The in-charge yelled at the disciples while giving out instruction.

等掌事一走开,其中一个弟子便问:”林师兄,这是干什么?过年要发的资材,我们不都准备好了吗?” As soon as the in-charge left, the disciples start to talk among themselves.

“Senior brother Lin, why are we packing again?

We just finish preparing all they needed for the Chinese new year, didn’t we?”   那位林师兄是个老资格了,答道:”应该是为神女祭准备的.” The so-called senior brother Lin is one of the eldest here, so he knew more than most of them.

“These should be for the deity’s festival.”   “神女祭?”那师弟好奇极了,”什么时候呀?在哪?” “Deity’s festival?

When and where?”   “过年吧,”林师兄说,”至于在哪就知道了.不关我们普通弟子的事,只有出神境长老才能参加.听说连外头打杂的都是堂主呢!” “Chinese new year, I guess?

As for where is it, it is none of our business.

Only elders are allowed to participate in it.

I heard they even got a courtyard leader to complete the miscellaneous chores!”   两人有一搭没一搭地说着话.神女祭离他们普通弟子太远,里头到底什么内情,却是半点也不知道,顾名思义,大概跟过年祭祖是一样的吧?九瑶宫的立派之基神女踏云剑,就是祖师爷从神女遗迹里悟出来的,是该祭拜神女.

Both of them chit-chatted while completing their task.

Deity’s festival is something that is irrelevant to normal disciples.

They have only heard about it, and know nothing about it.

~It should be like the Qingming festival, where we pay respect to our ancestors.

We learn the Goddess Cloud-treading Sword Technique in the Nine Jade Palace, which is said to be passed down from the deity to our forefather, so it is most likely a day where we pay respect to the deity?~   正说着闲话,忽听外头一阵喧闹,这师弟正想去问问发生什么事了,一抬头,忽见天空飞来一道身影,定睛一看,不由大吃一惊.

As they were chit-chatting, they could hear a commotion coming from outside.

The disciple was about to go ahead to find out what’s going on when he spotted something flying towards them.

He took a closer look let out a yelp in shock.

“林师兄,你看!” “Senior brother Lin, look!”   那林师兄抬头,却见天上飞来一匹神骏的天马,天马背上趴着两个血淋淋的人.还有一人长袖飘飘,踏着剑光飞在前头.

Senior brother Lin look up to see a pegasus flying towards their direction, ferrying two-person covered with blood on it, and there’s a woman leading it.

“这什么?发生什么事了?是有师叔在外面遇袭吗?” “What the heck is going on?

Did someone get assassinated outside or something?”   林师兄一看那天马,就道:”这是雪翼踏云驹,前头飞的那个定是碧溪谷的陆师姐.背上这两人却不知是谁?” “That’s a Snow Winged Cloud-Treading Horse, so the person leading would surely be senior sister Lu from the green jade valley.

As for who is on the back of the horse, I’m not sure.”   说话间,一人一马已经落了地,看位置,似是隔壁的精义院.

Within no time, they have landed, and looking from where they are, it should be the Quintessence Courtyard next to them.

“咦,他们去精义院干什么?不应该到我们知真院来求救吗?再不济,也是去庶务院让他们安排呀!” “Eh?

Why are they going there?

Shouldn’t they come here to ask for help?

Or go to the courtyard of affairs and let them settle it!”   两人百思不得其解,奈何手头有活,不得离开.

Senior brother Lin shrugged, pulling him away as the in-charge start to scream at them once again.

谁知过了一会儿,有同门奔走相告:”打起来了!听说碧溪谷的陆师姐把精义院拆了!” But nobody would have expected that the next minute their fellow disicple would walk in while shouting.

“A fight!

The green jade valley senior sister Lu is about to tear down the quintessence courtyard very soon!”   …

精义院如今掌事的,是温掌院.精义院掌管门规法度,其掌院是要职,周妙如哪会舍给别家?这位温掌院与周家关系颇近.

Courtyard leader Wen, the courtyard leader of quintessence courtyard.

And of course, he is in close relations with the Zhous.

温掌院今日心情正好,悠然在堂中饮茶.不想外头突然吵闹起来,没等他问话,陆明舒已领着小呆进了精义院的大堂.

It’s a good day for him.

A peaceful day without much duties, giving him time to relax and enjoy his afternoon tea.

However, the peace did not last long.”Hey!

What are you doing!” “Miss, you can’t just enter like this!” “What’s that?” Shoutings could be heard coming from outside out of a sudden and courtyard leader Wen stood up to have a look when Lu Mingshu came into his view, leading a snow winged cloud-treading horse along with her.

说起来,这大堂曾经来过,当初她还是个孩子,因在春猎中抢了付明堂的风头,被周茵如记恨,给她安了个罪名,想将她逐出九瑶宫.回想起来,那事真是可笑透顶,她那时才多大,不过一点小事,就闹到精义院来.

This brings courtyard leader Wen back to years ago, when Lu Mingshu was still a child.

Because she won Fu Mingtang in the spring hunt, Zhou Yinru tried to put blame on her and brought her here, insisting that Lu Mingshu committed a crime.

~That was such a joke.

How old was she back then anyway?

But wow, time passes so fast.

She’s now all grown up now.~  不过今天,她不是受审来的.

What’s different from years ago is that she isn’t here as a “criminal” now.

温掌院看到她,还没怎么样,就被小呆背上血淋淋的两个吓了一跳,”呼”地站了起来:”陆师侄,你这是干什么?精义院何等重地,你怎么能这么无礼?” Courtyard leader Wen plaster a smile to welcome her.

But as his eyes landed on the two bodies that are covered with blood on little daze’s back, he jumped out of his skin and started shouting at Lu Mingshu.

“Junior niece Lu, what are those?

The quintessence courtyard is a place with importance, how can you do such things?”  陆明舒往那一站,目光一扫:”温掌院,你问罪之前,是不是应该先看看这两个是什么人?” “Courtyard leader Wen, I think the main point here is to check who they are, huh?” Lu Mingshu raised an eyebrow and signal little daze to walk forward to let courtyard leader have a better look.

听她这么说,温掌院定睛看去.

Hearing her, courtyard leader wen went up to take a look at their faces.

咦,这男的不是周家那个…还有这女的…

~Eh?

He looks familiar…..oh!

The zhou family’s guy and this girl…..~  付大小姐!

~Elder miss Fu!~  认出付明溪,温掌院一迭声叫道:”来人,来人!快把付大小姐和这位长老解下来,药师呢?去知真院请药师!还有掌门和夫人,快去通报!” Courtyard leader Wen let out a yelp upon recognizing them.

“Sent someone here!

Now!

Get elder miss Fu and the elder down now!

Where is the doctor?

Sent the doctor here!

Go get the doctor from the truth courtyard, and inform the sect leader and madame right now!

Hurry up!

What are you still standing there for?

Go get the doctor!”  精义院一通忙乱.

Within no time, the quintessence courtyard is a mess.

看着付明溪和周竟成被解下来,在临时担架上躺好,药师也赶到了,温掌院抹了抹额上的汗,狐疑地看向陆明舒:”陆师侄,付小姐和周长老是怎么回事?他们怎么受的伤,怎么就叫你遇见了?” After ensuring that the doctor have arrived to check on Zhou Jingfang and Fu Mingxi, courtyard leader wen heave a sigh of relief and turn to Lu Mingshu in suspicion.

“Junior niece Lu, what has happened to elder miss Fu and elder Zhou?

Where did you find them?”  陆明舒将手中剑一抱,不答反问:”温掌院,难道不该先问一问,我为什么要送他们来精义院吗?” “Courtyard leader Wen, are you not going to ask when I sent them here first, instead of the other courtyards?” Lu Mingshu hugged her sword and look at courtyard leader Wen sternly.

哦,对!照理说,送知真院或庶务院都行,就没道理送精义院.

~Oh right!

Why would anyone sent a casualty here?

It does not make sense.~  “陆师侄,你有话就直说.他们两位伤成这样,咱们就别拐弯抹角了.” “Junior niece Lu, let’s not beat around the bush.

There is no time for that.”  “好,那就听温掌院的.”陆明舒垂目看着奄奄一息的付明溪和周竟成两人,寒声说道,”温掌院,我要向精义院提出告诉,主犯付明溪,从犯周竟成,得知我去寻找地灵精,特意提前一步进入秘地,设下陷阱,欲置我于死地!如此以下犯上,谋害同门之举,不严惩不足以正视听!还请温掌院不偏不倚,公正判决!” “Okay, then I’ll just cut the chase like what courtyard leader wen asked.” Lu Mingshu look over to the bodies and pointed at them.

“Courtyard leader Wen, I want to sue criminal Fu Mingxi and accomplice Zhou Jingfang for planning to assassinate me while I go over to the secret area to get the earth spirits!

I’m suing her planned murder and justice needs to be done!

I plead courtyard leader Wen to not be bias and fair!”  此言一出,周围的人都傻了,连救治付明溪和周竟成的药师都忘了继续治疗.

The everyone in the quintesse courtyard stop in their tracks and turned to Lu Mingshu in utter shock.

Even the doctor who is trying to rescue the two casualties stopped in his tracks.

温掌院也是愣了愣才反应过来.他能当上掌院,当然不会那么不济事.在心里琢磨了一下这事,迅速明白发生了什么事.

It took courtyard wen a few moments to understand her.

As a courtyard leader, acting smart and fast is no doubt a requirement in his job.

以他对付明溪的了解,这还真是付大小姐干得出来的事.或许是付尚清和周妙如的智商都给了付明堂,付明溪从小到大都是这么横冲直撞.

~Yeah, sounds like what elder miss Fu would do.~ maybe Fu Shangqing and Zhou Miaoru have passed on all the good traits to Fu Mingtang, thus Fu Mingxi have nothing good left to carry on.

可知道归知道,这事他也不能顺着陆明舒的意,动了付明溪,付尚清的脸往哪搁?周家的脸又往哪搁?更不用说,陆明舒身世尴尬,这要传出去,别人都要瞧九瑶宫的热闹了.

~But I couldn’t do as Lu Mingshu wants!

How could Fu Shangqing let this rest after Fu Mingxi is injured?

And if Fu Shangqing do not do anything about it, where is the Zhous going to stand in the sect in future?

Furthermore, Lu Mingshu’s background is somehow awkward, if this incident is spread out, we would all be a total joke to others.~  他略一思忖,就露出淡笑来:”陆师侄别急.付小姐和周长老伤成这样,这事一时没法说清楚.不如先等他们伤好一些,清醒过来,再一一对质,论个清1l楚明白,可好?” Courtyard leader Wen immediately plastered a smile on his face and nodded.

“Okay I got it.

But let’s be patient and wait for them to wake up before we do anything.

The both of them are still unconscious and seriously injured.

There is no way for me to interrogate them right now.

How do you think about it?”
