400: A must to get rid 400: A must to get rid Editor: Exodus Tales  周妙如没想到,自己会被逼到这一步.

Life is indeed unpredictable.

Never in Zhou Miaoru’s dream would she expect for the situation to escalate in this way…The situation she’s in right now.

当年把陆明舒丢去碧溪谷,她就没放在心上了.一个废了修为的师父,自身断了所有资源,就算柳林一脉偶尔的照拂,又能翻出什么风浪来?

Who would have thought that the Lu Mingshu who was thrown into the Green Jade valley and given care to a master who has nothing left could cause such a big hoo-ha?

~Even if the line of willow wood gave her their helping hand, how far could she get?~  她在春猎中表现出色,周妙如还是不以为意.

Back when she was younger, Lu Mingshu had an outstanding performance during the spring hunt.

However, to Zhou Miaoru, it isn’t worth her taking notice on it.

内息境能说明什么?靠着刘极真余下的那点财货,只能做到这个程度了吧?

~She’s only in her inner breath realm, what could she prove?

Liu Jizhen would not have enough resource for her to get further.

All he left would be depleted someday,~   直到她进入融合境.

After years, Lu Mingshu entered the harmonization realm.

早早进入内息境不算稀奇,九瑶宫不少正式弟子能做到.但十五岁融合境,就不可能仅仅靠运气了.

It’s not a big deal, as many Nine Jade Palace disciples have accomplished it too.

However, it shows that Lu Mingshu does indeed have the talent to do well.

看着陆明舒在天门之争中一鸣惊人,还将周茵如踩下来,周妙如知道,不能再放过这个小崽子了.

Soon, came the heavenly door competition, which made Zhou Miaoru realised that no, ~there’s no way I can leave this (censored) roaming around freely!~  所以她才费心思安排殷虹跟去麒麟会,想将这个祸患一次解决.

That’s why Yin Hong as a chaperone for this trip to Qilin festival, as to carry out Zhou Miaoru’s order to get rid of that jinx.

但她没料到,这丫头居然真的入了王妃的眼,明明没有订下婚约,还是肯为她撑腰.

Not only the plan was unsuccessful, but she also manages to catch the eye of the queen, who then supported her fully even though the marriage was not settled.

周妙如当机立断,派了周如影去北溟.

This put a big toll on Zhou Miaoru and she came up with a new plan.

To sent Zhou Ruying over to Beiming.

原以为,虽然损失了一个周如影,但能把她收拾掉,这个买卖很划得来.没想到,安逸了六年,她又回来了!

Years passed by and yet there was no news.

~At least Lu Mingshu is gone.

Losing Zhou Ruying is worth it~ But the peaceful days only last of six years.

这一次,她翅膀硬了,一回来就气势汹汹,目的昭然若揭.

And now she’s back, tougher than before.

Zhou Miaoru is not an idiot.

Lu Mingshu’s aim is clearly shown in her attitude.

一次次的打压,双方已经势不两立,周妙如心知,这事已无法善了.

Moreover, who would be able to take it down after numerous times of trying to force her power onto her?

It’s no doubt that the relationship between both parties is extremely bad, and there’s no way that Zhou Miaoru could do to make up the crack.

那个丫头以为她表现出强横的实力,就能吓退她吗?不可能的,她越强大,自己就越不能放过她!

~But who does she think I am?

I’m Zhou Miaoru.

I’ll not give up that easily and the more powerful you, Lu Mingshu gets, the more I’ll work harder to get rid of you!~  这次绝对不容许再出差错.

~This plan must be executed perfectly, and it must work.~   这丫头有些邪性.当初她以为一个周如影就足够收拾进入融合境没多久的陆明舒,结果失败了,还赔了一个周如影.这次如果按原计划行事,说不定又是赔了夫人又折兵的结果.

To Zhou Miaoru, Lu Mingshu is as if a devil spawned into the human world.

The expense she had paid to get rid of her is huge, yet she returned safe and sound, announcing that all Zhou Miaoru’s effort had gone down the drain.

说起来,得感谢她这次发难,不然,错过神女祭的机会,就再难遏制她了.

But thankfully, God is on her side.

Giving her another chance to get rid of Lu Mingshu, the deity’s festival.

到底太年轻,沉不住气.

The younger one is, the more impulse one is.

现下收拾她,并不容易.周妙如自身修为低,眼光还是有的.凭陆明舒那一剑,放在九瑶宫,已是顶尖之选.

It’s not easy to carry out her plan.

Zhou Miaoru may be of low cultivation, but that doesn’t restrict her intellectual.

She could tell how powerful Lu Mingshu have turned out to be in a short span of six years just by her attack previously in the quintessence courtyard and is currently one of the best in the Nine Jade Palace.

付尚清,安同尘等人未必不如她,毕竟那日是她先发制人,别人却是仓促相应.但,仅凭一剑,同时化解三人攻击,她的实力就不是普通的出神境能压下的了 The situation that day may not necessary meant that Fu Shangqing, An Tongchen, and the rest is not as good as her since Lu Mingshu was the attacker.

But still, if she could break the defence of three spirit realm, not any spirit realm would be able to take her down easily.

周如影的例子在前,周妙如以为,自己再怎么谨慎也不为过.把她的实力在预估的基础上,再提三成,越慎重越好.

With Zhou Ruying set as an example, Zhou Miaoru is smart to overestimate her by at least three times this time round to make sure that it works.

She also took this plan way serious than the previous plan she had.

所以,她必须调动起所有的力量,力求一次性把那丫头捏死,抹除后患!

Now, all she has to do is to gather the strength to take down the kid within one try!

祁掌院被她说动了:”夫人想怎么做?” “So what do madame thinks?” Courtyard leader Qi smiled at Zhou Miaoru, after being convinced.

周妙如勾起嘴角:”判断实力,我不如诸位.你们以为,要怎么才能铲除这个祸患?” “Ah, my ability is not comparable to all present.

So I rather hear from all of you.

How do you think we should do this?” Zhou Miaoru plastered a smile on her face and turned it all present.

众长老皆沉默了.

All the elders remained silence.

那一剑,他们大部分人都看到了.想要铲除,谈何容易?

Most present have witnessed the scene and are all aware of the difficulty of taking down Lu Mingshu.

“夫人,”温掌院斟酌着说道,”只凭一剑,实在不好判断.若是不能一次解决,后患无穷.” “Madame,” Courtyard leader Wen paused, weighing his words before continuing.

“It is hard for us to access her ability with just that attack.

And if this fails, the after-effects would be endless.”   动了刀兵,那可就是翻脸成仇了.以那个丫头的脾气,还会维持表面的和平吗?被付明溪暗算一次,就要闹得整个门派都惊动,真动了手,只怕她会直接杀上门吧?

If they choose to act on Lu Mingshu, they would be making clear the stand that they are her enemy.

~And with that kid’s temper, there’s a high chance she would hold on to grudges and who knows how insane she could get?

Seeing the chaos she created out of that incident with Fu Mingxi.~   他们都是有家有业的人,这后果万万不能承受,若要做,就得一次做绝,不能给她留半点生机.

None of them present are carefree.

They have their families to care for too.

The consequences brought along with failing the plan is too huge of a price for the elders present here to pay for.

~If we were to do so, we will make sure it succeeds and nothing else.~   “所以,才要诸位集思广益.”周妙如眼神一飘,压低声音,”诸位想想,她手中有多少好东西.蒯信据说得了她的秘法,一举突破.近日来,为了给刘极真调养身体,大把大把的钱财往外砸,早就超过了她身为长老的那点供奉.你们说,这六年,她到底有何遭遇?说不准得了某家秘传…” “Just the reason why I called for this meeting.” Zhou Miaoru looked around and lowered her volume.

“Think about the benefits.

There have been rumours about how Kuai Xin was able to break through his bottleneck within a short period after learning her secret.

And are all present aware of how much she spent on Liu Jizhen’s health recently?

That’s way more than the resource we provide each elder in the sect.

Look, what may she have gone through within these six years?

How much more treasure does she have?…..”   众人的神色变得微妙起来.陆明舒这次回来,根本没有遮掩过自己的豪阔.对这六年的经历只字不提,拿出的东西却一样比一样稀罕,谁会没注意到呢?

This sparked the curiosity of most present.

Indeed, all have noticed how sumptuous Lu Mingshu had become, yet she said not a single word about her life the past six years.

~What would she have met?~   最让人眼红的,当然是蒯信得到的那份秘法了.不止蒯信一举破关,谭语冰和邵正阳似乎也有突破的迹象.这可不是融合境,而是出神境!谁家没有几个卡在瓶颈破不了关的师兄弟?得了这份秘法,分脉实力定会大大提升,自己说不定也能更进一层…

But the one that caught the most attention was Kuai Xin, who have been said to get his hands on her secret and successfully break through the spirit realm in no time.

Even Tan Yubing and Shao Zhengyang seems to be improving greatly and showed signs of breaking through the spirit realm!

They were the ones who were stuck in a bottleneck and yet Lu Mingshu’s secret seem to be a great help to them.

~If I got the secret on my hands, does it means that I will be able to improve at such a great extent too….?~  安同尘亲自去了一趟碧溪谷.

An Tongcheng had paid a visit to the Green Jade Valley.

“神女祭的日期定了,就在除夕.” “The date for the Deity’s festival have been set.

It will be on Chinese new year eve.”   陆明舒皱了皱眉:”这么快?” “That’s fast.” Lu Mingshu furrowed her eyebrows.

安同尘点头:”神女遗迹里,异相频频闪现,差不多到时候了.”见她有为难之色,问了一句,”怎么,有难处吗?” “Yeah, scenes have start to show in the goddess remains, so it’s about time.” Seeing her already being deep in thought, An Tongchen tapped on her shoulders to get her attention.

“Is there something wrong?”   “我在等一个人.”陆明舒说,”离除夕只有三天了,只怕赶不及在神女祭之前见到他.” “I’m waiting for someone, and I am afraid I would not be able to meet him before the deity’s festival.”   “很重要?” “Is it very important?”   “很重要.” “Very.”   如果谢廉贞不能及时赶到,她错过这次机会,再想治好师父的伤,就没那么容易了.

~If I miss the chance to see Xie Lianzhen now, it would be tough to cure master.~  “必须在十天之内见到他.”她说.

“I need to meet him within these ten days.” She bit her lips.

安同尘没有细问,只道:”那还是有机会的.三天后进神女遗迹,如果你顺利闯进去,上祭一般需要一到三天,出来时正好赶上.” “Then it should be fine.

If you manage to win this competition, it will take at most three days before its ends.”   “这样吗?”陆明舒想了想,”那倒还好.” “Is that so?” Lu Mingshu nodded.

“Luckily.”   只要谢廉贞及时赶到,问题就不大了.

~As long as Xie Lianzhen reach on time, everything would be fine.~  安同尘又道:”你这次显露了实力,着实冲动了.只怕争夺上祭名额时,他们会动手脚.” “Anyway, you were too impulse this time round.

I’m afraid they’ll try to get you during the festival.” An Tongcheng looks at her worriedly.

陆明舒轻蔑一笑:”就算我没有显露实力,他们也会动手脚吧?” “Even if I did not proceed with my actions the other day, they will still do the same, won’t they?” Lu Mingshu snicked.

“话是这么说,可那样的话,他们心存轻视,你不是好收拾得多?” “But they will continue to underestimate you, and it’s beneficial to you.

It will be easier to tackle them.”   陆明舒却摇头:”我就是要让他们重视.如此,我才好借题发挥,将他们连根拔起!” “That’s even better.” Lu Mingshu smiled thinly.

“So they could spend more on me for me to destroy all at once!”   “…”安同尘好半天才叹道,”刘师兄怎么就教出你这么个徒弟来?他昔年最是稳重,你倒好…

An Tongcheng stared at her blankly.

He shook his head and sigh.

“I can’t believe that you’re senior brother Liu’s disciple.

He was nothing but reserved and yet….”   陆明舒笑笑,转了话题:”安师叔,高骧呢?可有信来?” Lu Mingshu smiled and shook her head.

” Senior uncle An, how is Gao Xiang?

Have he sent any letter back?”   “他啊,说是去海外见识一番,回来最起码也要半年后吧…” “Yeah, he says he would be travelling, at least a half of year before he returns.”   离去前,安同尘与刘极真坐在通天阁前的大石上,沐浴着夕阳的余晖.

An Tongchen went to have a chat with Liu Jizhen before he left.

They sat at the heavenly ascension Pavillion to watch the sunset.

“刘师兄,你真的不必担心她,她知道自己在做什么.” “Senior brother Liu, you do not need to worry about her.

I am sure she knows what she’s doing.

”  刘极真看着落山的夕阳:”我希望她是对的,用行动证明,她比我这个师父强多了.可是,就算只有万分之一失败的可能,我也怕她遇上那万分之一.” Liu Ji Zhen looks at the sunset and sigh.

“I hope what she’s doing is right.

Use her action to prove that she’s way capable than her master here.

I am just afraid that she fails, you know?

Even if it’s only 0.1% of her failing, I am still afraid that it would happen.”   安同尘理解他的心情:”我懂,但是我们做长辈的,不能因为有失败的可能,就不让她去做.” “I understand.” An Tongcheng, who similarly have a disciple understand how Liu Jizhen feels.

“However, we couldn’t stop them from trying just because of our worries.”   “是啊…”刘极真不知道是落寞还是欣慰.

“Yeah….” Liu Jizhen looked down.

Unknown in disappointment or relief that his disciple have grown up.
