396: The big fight 396: The big fight Editor: Exodus Tales  要说陆明舒对周妙如哪个举动最不理解,大概就是她打压柳林一脉了.

Zhou Miaoru’s actions frequently leave Lu Mingshu in awe at how stupid she can be, and it never fails to do so, especially now.

卓剑归只是受伤,并不是殒命.一个化物境,而且是一个最起码有百年好活的化物境,她不好好巴着,居然趁人家受伤打压,甚至施计害人家徒弟,脑子呢?

Zhou Jiangui is only injured, but he is still alive and kicking.

An assimilation realm cultivator could at least live up to a hundred years and yet she’s trying to suppress the line of willow woods while he is injured and plan against his disciple.

~Is she nuts?~  虽然她并不觉得周妙如有多聪明,但也没这么无脑.

~I have never expected for Zhou Miaoru to be a genius, but at least, not as brainless as this.~  以眼下九瑶宫的局面,除非付尚清及时进入化物境,否则,接下来百年,整个九瑶宫都要仰卓剑归的鼻息.就连谁当掌门,也不过是他一句话的事.

As of now, the only person who would have the final say of how this sect is going to function is no other than Zhuo Jiangui, even over the matter of who is going to the newly appointed sect leader.

难道说,周妙如有这个自信,付尚清一定能在卓剑归伤好之前进入化物境?或者,付明堂?

~Or is Zhou Miaoru confident that Fu Shangqing could break through the assimilation realm before Zhuo Jiangui recover?

Or Fu Mingtang, perhaps?~  这里头的曲折,只怕一时得不到答案了.不过,这对她来说,却是天大的好事.

~Nobody knows what Zhou Miaoru is up to, however, as of now, it is the most importantly beneficial to me.~  安同尘已经明确站队,与周家为敌,她也就多了一个能联手的对象.

An Tongchen has blatantly stated his stand, which is to go against the Zhou’s.

Which means that Lu Mingshu would have another person whom she will be able to join forces with.

“安师叔.”陆明舒行礼,”您的脸色好看多了.” “Senior uncle An.” Lu Mingshu greeted him.

“Is a senior uncle feeling better now?”  安同尘笑了笑,对她道:”多亏了你给的药,让我轻省不少.” “Yes.

Thanks to the medicine you gave me.

I’m currently feeling well.” An Tongchen smiled lightly and nodded.

师父修复经脉的药还没着落,陆明舒没敢用手中的冬夏石液,便从天轮里换了些疗伤药,给安同尘送去.再加上她给的转修秘法里有如何调养玄力之法,短短一个月,安同尘就觉得轻松多了.

Lu Mingshu has yet to get the cure for her master’s meridian, thus she dare not use the winter-summer stone liquid.

Instead, she exchanged some medications for An tongchen from the heavenly wheel and taught An Tongchen her news skills on improving cultivation, which helps improve An Tongchen’s health.

听他们二人对话,关系之亲近,已是明明白白.

The conversation between the two clearly shows An Tongchen stand.

看来柳林一脉决心护她了.

That the line of willow woods is going to stand up for her.

柳林,玉台,太府,金门,连同陆明舒原本所属的升阳一脉,人多势众,个个咄咄逼人.反观周妙如这方,她受修为所限,付尚清身为掌门总不好亲自下场撕,温掌院同样身份受限,只有一个祁掌院,气势上远远不如.

The line of willow woods, jade terrace, Tai Fu, golden door and even the line of Shengyang are now standing right at the Quintessence Courtyard, questioning courtyard leader Wen aggressively and insisting that Zhou Miaoru’s cultivation is too low to understand how serious the matter is.

And for Courtyard leader Wen, he only had support, Courtyard leader Qi.

Compared to the large group the other party has on their side, courtyard leader Wen is lacking in strength.

不过,周妙如经营这几年,又怎么会只有这几个助手呢?听说此事的出神境长老纷纷赶来.比如,周妙如的忠实拥扈,抚云一脉的殷虹,日照一脉的向长老,黎谷一脉的盛长老…

However, being the sect leader wife she was, why would she only have two supporters on her side?

Within no time, the line of fluffy cloud’s Yin Hong arrived, alongside with the line of Sunrise’s elder Xiang, line of dawn’s elder Sheng….

付明溪本来就已经惊吓过度,这阵势又把她吓傻了.

Fu Mingxi has yet not regained from the shock she gained from Lu Mingshu, and the crowd shocked her even more.

她事先怎么也料不到,自己只是气愤不过,想找陆明舒的麻烦,居然会变成九瑶宫上层的一场大撕.诸位长老,有她叫师叔的,也有她叫师祖的,根本不顾脸面,在精义院的大堂里吵成一团.

Never would she thought that just a childish plan of hers to teach Lu Mingshu a lesson would end up to be such a grave matter.

Her senior uncle, aunt and even martial grandparents have all gathered at the Quintessence Courtyard, quarrelling like kids as if they have forgotten about their position for a moment.

看得围观的弟子们目瞪口呆,大开眼界.

The disciples crowding outside of the courtyard were watching this scene with jaws wide open.

原来平时高高在上的长老们吵起架来,也没比他们这些小弟子好看多少啊…

~So these elders who we deemed well educated and elegant are actually no better than kids!~   这个说:”陆明舒空口无凭,两张嘴一碰,就要弟子以命相抵,哪有这个道理?以下犯上,谋害长老,何等罪名?岂可这般轻忽?没有真凭实据,断然不能定罪!” “Do Lu Mingshu even have evidence?

Wanting a disciple to pay with her life just because of something she said is outrageous!

Planned murder of one’s elder is a serious crime!

How could we testify something so serious without evidence!”   那个道:”这话说得有意思.出神境长老的供词都不足采信,反倒要信一个融合境弟子的?照这么说,随便来个融合境弟子,说殷师侄杀人害命,是不是也可以?” “Oh, so we should believe a harmonization realm disciple instead of a spirit realm elder’s statement?

So do you mean that is one day, there’s a harmonization realm disciple who comes and accuses Junior, Niece Yin of murder, we should believe the disciple?”   “你这是强词夺理!” “It’s all twisted words and forced logic!”   “你还不是牵强附会!” “Aren’t you doing the same too.”   那边又有人道:”非是不信陆明舒的供词,而是她的供词处处不合理!她说付明溪暗害于她,为何她一点伤都没有,反倒周长老性命垂危,付明溪满身血痕?

“Is not that we do not trust Lu Mingshu, but her statement makes no sense!

Why did Zhou Jingfang came back seriously injured and Fu Mingxi covered with blood when they are the one who has planned the murder?

Whereas the one being plotted against is totally fine?”   “付明溪没本事,暗算不成,难道还能当成证据?” “Because Fu Mingxi is incapable so she ended up getting injured herself!”  又吵了起来.

Another round of quarrelling.

这么个吵法,双方各执一词,又怎么吵得出结果?

With the elders bickering, how could they arrive at a conclusion?

这时,有人说:”合不合理,不如掰扯开来说.我们只知大概经过,却不知道细节.须知细节越详细,真相越是无所遁形.陆师侄要是有这个自信,那就当着我们的面,把所有细节通通说一遍,再由大家分辨,如何?” Suddenly, somebody cut them off.

“None of us have witnessed or is involved in the incident anyway.

All we know is the summary and not the detail.

So why not we have junior niece Lu to tell us the detail right now if she’s fine with it and we could decide on the results after this?

If we continue like this, there would be now ending.”   吵到现在,终于有个人说了具备可行性的提议,双方为之一静.

Finally, somebody suggested a useful suggestion, and both parties turn silent immediately.

提出这个建议的人,正是知真院祁掌院.

It’s courtyard leader Qi who came up with the idea.

他笑眯眯地看着众人:”看来,诸位师叔师兄,这是都同意了?” Seeing both parties stop, he took a look at the crowd and smiled.

“In that case, I take it as all senior uncles and brothers had agreed?”   温掌院首先点头:”祁师兄说的在理.一味争吵,吵不出结果,不如我们把经过掰扯开,由细节一一验证.” Courtyard leader Wen nodded.

“Senior brother Qi is right.

Let’s examine the details.

It would be better than just bickering.”   “好.”祁掌院拱了拱手,”若是诸位没意见,我来问一问陆师侄,如何?” “Okay.” Courtyard leader Qi bowed to the crowd.

“If there’s no objection, may I start questioning junior niece Lu my doubts?”   宇文师眼神一动,有心想阻止.他知道祁掌院心思细腻,阴起人来不着痕迹,让他问话,就怕陆明舒不知不觉进了他的坑.

Yu-Wen Shi wanted to prevent it from happening.

He knew what courtyard leader Qi is thinking about, and he is afraid that Lu Mingshu would fall into his trap.

不想他刚张口,陆明舒就一口应了:”好.” But before he could do anything to stop it, Lu Mingshu has already agreed to it.

[lu mingshu said “okay.” but idt its needed to not inside.]   “陆师侄.”宇文师低声唤.

“Junior niece Lu.” Yu-Wen shi hissed.

陆明舒淡淡道:”事无不可对人言,我既然前来精义院,当然做好了接受众人审视的准备.” “It’s not something that should not be said.

Since I’m here, then I’ve already prepared to face all the investigations.” Lu Mingshu replied calmly.

安同尘抚掌:”好!我辈行事,理应如此.藏藏掖掖,暗算于人,与蛇鼠何异?” An Tongchen clapped.

“Good!

This is how us, the elders should be like.

Being sneaky makes one no different from a snake.”   说着轻蔑一瞥,看得付明溪一抖.

He than glance over at Fu Mingxi in disdain, which makes her tremble.

祁掌院面不改色,首先问道:”陆师侄,你之前说,你中计一掌杀了那只箭猪,箭猪之血溅到你身上,因此激怒了镇守珍兽,是不是?” Courtyard leader Qi ignored the conversation and started.

“Junior niece Lu, you said that they tricked you into killing a miniature spiked pig which caused you to the covered in blood and anger the precious beast?”   “是.” “Yes.”   祁掌院马上接下去:”这么说,你与珍兽缠斗了一会儿?” “So you fought the beast for some time?” Courtyard leader Qi continued.

“不错.” “Yes.”   “那周长老又是什么时候切入战局的?” “Than when did elder Zhou join the fight?”   “就在我与珍兽缠斗之时,他背后偷袭.” “When I was fighting the precious beast, he seized me from the back.”   祁掌院点点头:”那你是如何应对的呢?” Courtyard leader Qi nodded.

“So how did you counter?”   陆明舒淡淡道:”先是避开他的攻击.随后想到,极可能是身上的箭猪血有问题,因此将染了箭猪血的外袍撕下,抛了出去.” “I first dodge his attack.

But I soon realised that it may be because of the blood, so I ripped off the gown covered in blood and threw it out.”   “抛到何处?” “To?”   陆明舒露出淡笑:”周竟成身上.” “Onto Zhou Jingfang.” Lu Mingshu smiled thinly.

众人倒吸一口凉气.这是以其人之道还治其之身,她还真是够果决.

Chill ran down the crowd’s spine.

~This girl is something else!~   祁掌院不由收起了笑容,谨慎地问:”然后呢?” “And?” Courtyard leader Qi kept his smile and asked carefully.

“然后,珍兽就转移目标了.”陆明舒轻描淡写.

“And the precious beast changed its the target.” Lu Mingshu said as if it was not her business.

“…”祁掌院稳了稳,继续发问,”那付小姐又是如何受伤的?” “…” Courtyard leader Qi ponders for a moment before continuing.

“So how do you explain Miss fu’s injuries?”   “我把她抓出来,她吓得跑都跑不动,被他们动手的余波伤及.” “I got her out and she’s so shocked that she can’t even move, so she’s being injured by them in their fight.”   陆明舒说完,现场一时无人说话.

After Lu Mingshu finished her words, the crowd turned silent.

所以,这两人都是她弄伤的?她可真敢说啊!这般手段,就算是回击,也着实狠辣了些.

~So she hurt two people?

And she still dares to say!

Even though it’s to defend herself, this is too cruel!~   不过看她这样子,并不觉得自己狠辣有什么错.

But seeing how she is, there’s a high chance that she finds her action absolutely acceptable.

祁掌院轻轻吐出一口气,看着陆明舒的目光晦暗难言.

Courtyard leader Qi sighed and stared at Lu Mingshu, gloomily.

“这就有问题了.”他轻轻说.

“Than there’s something wrong.” He said softly.

“什么问题?”陆明舒气定神闲,却不知道这一刻,宇文师,郑冲,张鲲等人都用难以言喻的目光看着她,郑冲张口想帮她辩解,可又想不出理由来.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Mingshu replied calmly.

But unknown to her, Yu-Wen Shi, Zheng Chong and Zhang Kun are staring at her pitifully.

Zheng Chong even wanted to debate for her, but he does not have any reason.

什么问题?问题大了.她究竟知不知道自己在说什么?这个关键点被抓住,他们也无从替她辩解了.

~What’s wrong?

There’s something very wrong.

What on earth is she talking about?~ Courtyard leader Qi has caught the main point, and nobody could speak for Lu Mingshu now.

而殷虹等人更是看笑话一般,周妙如嘴边亦浮起一抹淡笑,松了口气.到底年纪小,编故事也不编得圆一点.

On the other hand, Yin Hong and the other elders who are siding the Zhou’s is waiting to watch Lu Mingshu make herself into a joke, and Zhou Miaoru could not hide her smile anymore.

She heaved a sigh of relief.

~Indeed still a kid.

If you want to lie, lie better.~   全程大概只有陆明舒自己,和安同尘两人镇定自如.

In the whole courtyard, only Lu Mingshu and An Tongchen are calm.

祁掌院道:”先与一只被激怒的化物境珍兽缠斗,随后应付一个出神境的偷袭,接着还要在二者夹击中想出关键所在,将染了箭猪血的外袍抛到周长老身上——陆师侄,你究竟知不知道自己在说什么?这样的情况,就算是郑师叔这样的积年出神境高手,也未必应付得来,更不用说毫发无损地脱身!” “Firstly, your fighting a beast in the assimilation realm, with a spirit realm who is seizing you simultaneously.

Yet you’re still able to figure out the problem with the blood and throw the gown at elder Zhou at the same time—Junior niece Lu, do you know what are you even saying?

Even senior uncle Zheng, an experienced spirit realm may not be able to do so or escape without the slightest injury!” Courtyard leader Qi said.
