410: Rumour 410: Rumour Editor: Exodus Tales  碧溪谷,刘极真最常坐的那块巨石上,换了个人.

Green Jade Valley.

Xie Lianzhen is sitting atop of the rock that Liu Jizhen sits at frequently.

“公子.”谢长晖从屋里捧来一盏热气腾腾的羊汤.这是惠先生开的食谱,给谷中三个没有修为的人补身.

“Young master.” Xie Zhanghui came out of the house with a bowl of piping hot mutton soup made by Doctor Hui for Liu Jizhen, Hui Niang and Ah Sheng as a supplement for their health.

现下刘极真不在谷中,安同尘也回去了,谢廉贞便和惠先生在巨石上对坐,谈论医道.

Currently, Liu Jizhen is not around, and An Tongchen has went back.

Leaving Xie Lianzhen and Doctor Hui to discuss about the art of medicine.

惠先生原本对陆明舒另外请人给刘极真看病的事颇有微词,待与谢廉贞谈过,不禁收起了轻慢之心,心服口服.

Initially, Doctor Hui isn’t pleased with Lu Mingshu’s decision of inviting another person, who isn’t a doctor to help him out in treating Liu Jizhen.

However, after a long conversation, Doctor Hui got to know Xie Lianzhen better and was convinced.

外界传闻,这位廉贞公子,仗着王妃撑腰,才能继任廉贞星君.实则身有腿疾,能力平平,不值一提.

Rumours about the Alioth star lord have been floating around the air, with comments saying that Xie Lianzhen is as if useless, crippled and has ability weaker than normal.

The only reason he could be the alioth star lord is because the queen had his back.

惠先生原本也是这么以为的,待见过这位廉贞公子,才知道传言不可信.

Doctor Hui once thought so, but now he has met him in person, Doctor Hui’s impression of Xie Lianzhen changed.

这位不但丰神俊朗,气质高华,而且学识渊博,才思敏捷.惠先生钻研医术数十年,别的不敢说,在医道上颇有自信,然而与廉贞公子一谈,方知天外有天——对方所言药理,自己闻所未闻,细细一究,还真是那么回事.

Not only he is extremely attractive and classy, he is knowledgeable too.

Doctor Hui has been in the sector for years, and he is confident of his knowledge in medicine.

After meeting Xie Lianzhen, than he realise that there’s so much he still had to learn—as a saying goes, the patient is the best doctor.

This phrase is extremely applicable to Xie Lianzhen.

“先生这药膳甚妙.”饮过羊汤,谢廉贞笑道,”药补不如食补,刘掌院身体亏空多年,温补方是上策.” “Sir, this soup is delicious and well cooked.” Xie Lianzhen took a sip of the soup and nodded.

“The ingredients are selected and used perfectly.

This is the best soup for Courtyard leader Liu to take care of his health.”   惠先生连连摆手:”普普通通,哪里及得上公子.” “The alioth star lord, you’re too kind.”   谢廉贞又问了些刘极真的情况,惠先生一一答了.他琢磨了一会儿,说道:”这么说,刘掌院的经脉已经逐渐恢复活力,可以着手修复了.” Xie Lianzhen than asked about Liu Jizhen’s condition lately and Doctor Hui answered all of his questions in detail.

Xie Lianzhen pondered and nodded.

“Since his meridians are getting healthier, we could start restoring it soon.”   惠先生一惊,忙问:”廉贞公子,经脉断裂,真的能修复?”  “Alioth star lord, can we really do so?

Restore one’s crippled meridian?” Doctor Hui look up in shock.

谢廉贞没给确切的答案,含糊地道:”总要试试.” Xie Lianzhen shrugged.

“Well, we could try.”   惠先生看他的眼神不同了,犹豫良久,厚着脸皮道:”若是公子不嫌弃,鄙人愿意给公子打个下手.” It took Doctor Hui a few moments to recover from his shock.

He stared at Xie Lianzhen for a few minutes before speaking up.

“If the alioth star lord do not mine, I hope to be able to assist the alioth star lord in this task.”   谢廉贞笑道:”有惠先生帮忙,在下求之不得.不过,我亦是受人所托,究竟要怎样,还要陆姑娘决定.” “I’m glad to Doctor Hui’s assistance.” Xie Lianzhen chuckled.

“But I am too being entrust in.

So Let’s see what miss Lu says about this.”   “这是当然,当然…” “Of course, of course.”   这时,地面突然摇动,隆隆之声从远处传来.

All of the sudden, the ground starts to rumble, and loud noises could be heard coming from far.

惠先生大惊:”这是怎么了?地龙翻身?” “What’s happening?

An earthquake?” Doctor Hui jumped up in panic.

谢廉贞面色一沉,看向谢长晖.

Xie Lianzhen’s face dropped and look over at Xie Zhanghui.

谢长晖意会,匆匆而去.

Xie Zhanghui immediately understood and hurried out of the green jade valley.

不多时,柳林居的下仆赶来,对谢长晖说了几句话.

Not after long, the willow woods servant came over to look for Xie Zhanghui.

谢长晖回来禀报:”是琅华峰的动静,现下人心惶惶,说什么的都有.” “It’s from the White magnificent peak.

The sect is in a mess right now, and there are numerous sayings.”   “刘掌院呢?” “Where’s courtyard leader Liu?”   “去了春深峡.” “He went to the great spring canyon.”   谢廉贞点点头.春深峡就是元昔太上长老住的地方,也就是说,刘极真顺利按他说的做了.

Xie Lianzhen nodded.

The great spring canyon is where grand elder Yuan Xi lives at.

Which means that Liu Jizhen have followed Xie Lianzhen’s suggestion.

惠先生见他忙着,起身告退:”药房还在熬药,某先告退了.” Seeing that he is busy, Doctor Hui stood up to leave.

“I still have medicine left boiling in the kitchen, I’ll take my leave first.”   谢廉贞含笑:”有劳先生.” “Thank you Doctor Hui for your hard work.” Xie Lianzhen smiled and nodded.

惠先生一走,谢长晖迫不及待地问:”公子这是要舆论造势吗?这岂不是让陆姑娘骑虎难下,非得与周家你死我活?” As soon Doctor Hui left, Xie Zhanghui could no longer hold his curiosity.

“Young master, are you sure this is the right choice?

By doing so you will be forcing miss Lu to go against the Zhous and compete with them!”   谢廉贞接过他递来的润口茶,说道:”她回来九瑶宫,就已经注定与周家你死我活了.” Xie Lianzhen took over a cup of tea that Xie Zhanghui had brought with him and shook his head.

“She herself said that she wants to get this done with the Zhous immediately when she returns.”   谢长晖一愣.

Xie Zhanghui look at him in shocked.

“她一回来,就用手中秘法,将倒周势力团结在了一起.这是明明白白向周家举起屠刀啊!周家怎么能忍?” “She immediately used her secret method to gather all those who opposed Zhous immediately when she come back.

She’s obviously showing her stance, and why would the Zhous remian silent about this?”   “但是,”谢长晖皱着眉头,”周家根深叶茂,为何不选择一条稳妥的路,非要与她一决?这不是以己之短,攻敌之长吗?” “But the Zhou’s aren’t simple target too.

They have been around for ages.” Xie Zhanghui furrowed his eyebrows, unable to understand what’s going on Lu Mingshu’s mind.

“Why would they fight her and make more enemy instead?

That’s not very smart of them to do so.”   谢廉贞轻轻摇头:”不,恰恰相反,周家做出这个选择,我倒觉得那位掌门夫人并不是一无是处了.你觉得,陆姑娘最可怕的地方在哪里?” Xie Lianzhen smiled and shook his head.

“Nah, on the other hand, Madame Zhou did made a right choice.

What feature of Miss Lu do you dislike?”   谢长晖脱口而出:”她太锋利了.” “Sharp.” Xie Zhanghui blurt out.

这个评价让谢廉贞颇觉有趣:”锋利?” “Sharp?” Xie Lianzhen laughed.

“就是…像一把出鞘的剑,跟她玩手段,她不屑,讲道理,她不理.总之,很难搞.” “Erm…It’s feels like her motto would be something like “My way, right way.” You know?

She doesn’t care about your games, neither can be negotiated nicely with.

In short, hard to please.”   谢廉贞笑了起来:”你这么说挺有道理.没错,这是她的特点之一,更要命的就是,这么不讲道理的人,偏偏有着无尽的潜力.” “True.” Xie Lianzhen laughed.

“That’s something that makes her special.

And what makes it way more fatal is that she’s extremely talented.”   他搁下杯子,看着琅华峰的方向:”只是一个疏忽,就让她成长为今天的样子,再放纵十年,甚至三年五年,会怎么样?时间会给予她更强大的实力,而周家却会被她越甩越远.所以,周家看似根深叶茂,实则已经到了你死我活的阶段.如果不能将她在现阶段斩杀,周家就要面对她举起的屠刀.” He put his cup down and look over to the white magnificent peak.

“Just a careless mistake and she’s now the monster she is.

If they leave her as she is for an even longer period of time, what would happen then?

The stronger she grow, the more capable she would be of getting rid of the Zhous.

The Zhous may seem to be strong, but is actually crippling underneath.

The smartest way right now would be getting rid of all potential danger, or they would be the dead one by then.”   “…”  谢廉贞把玩着腰上的玉坠:”我就是要舆论造势,把他们推到你死我活的境地.这样,她挥剑相向,把九瑶宫杀得血流成河,才不会被舆论绑架,成为施暴者.” Xie Lianzhen played with his jade pendant and smiled thinly.

“I’m going to make up a commotion, and push them to the edge.

So that when Lu Mingshu killed them all, she’ll be viewed as at victim who is forced to this state instead of a murderer.”   谢长晖无话可说,半晌才道:”公子你就这么相信,陆姑娘会是胜者?” After listening to Xie Lianzhen, Xie Zhanghui was left speechless.

He stared at him in silence for a few minutes.

“So young master believes that Miss Lu would be the winner?”   “当然.”谢廉贞理了理衣摆,从巨石下去,”走吧,我们可以出去等后续了.” “Of course.” He hummed and jumped down from the rock.

“Let’s go.

We can wait for the sequel now.”   …

琅华峰上,隆隆之声,许久才止住.

After an hour, the White Magnificent peak than regained peace.

宇文师不死心,拉起贺轩,往磁爆处赶去.

Yu-Wen shi paced his breathing before dragging He Xuan up the explosion site.

~I’m not giving up yet!~   磁爆过后,满目疮痍,那处出现了一个深坑,树木泥石,全部被清扫一空.

After the explosion, the site which was previously a forest is now bare, leaving only a huge pit.

宇文师看到,心都凉了.

Yu-Wen shi’s heart drop at the scene.

不会真死了吧?周家还没收拾掉呢!死掉几个周派长老,虽然削弱了他们的势力,但离倒下还太远.

~Did she really….Oh my god.

The Zhous are still fine!

Even though she had sent a few of Zhou’s elders to heaven, but they do have a huge army and that’s not enough to cause their downfall!~   完了完了,陆明舒一死,这计划半途而废.偏偏他们已经与周家翻脸,现下想停都不可能.玉台一脉号令不动太府一脉,想要胜出难度太大…

~Doomed.

Once she’s dead, the plan would have to stop.

And we have already fallen out with the Zhous, there ‘s no turning back for us!

We are unable to get the line of Taifu to work with us too…We are certainly in deep trouble…~   宇文师已经在考虑如何抽身的问题,忽然,被贺轩拉了一下:”师兄你看!” As Yu Wen shi is in deep thought, thinking about the next step he could take, He Xuan suddenly tugged on his clothes.

“Senior brother, look!”   贺轩的声音惊讶得都变调了.

He was so surprised that his voice broke.

宇文师抬头一瞧,也是一怔.

Yu Wen Shi look over in annoyance, and he could not believed what he is currently seeing.

磁爆过后,粉尘无数,待余波落定,深坑旁边有个人缓缓爬了起来.

After the explosion, the ashes are all around the air, making the site so hazy that they could not really open their eyes.

However, it’s no doubt that they saw something crawling out from the pit.

虽然衣裳染了风尘,但不难看出她是谁.

The figure is covered in dust, but it’s a familiar figure….

陆明舒!她还活着!

~Lu Mingshu!

She’s alive!~  宇文师先是一喜,再是担忧.可千万别半死不活,只剩半条命.

Yu-Wen shi squeaked in glee, but the thought of Lu Mingshu being seriously injured flashed across his mind and he went back to worrying.

~I hope she’s truly alright, and not almost dead.~  “陆师侄?” “Junior niece Lu?”   陆明舒撑起身,一挥衣袖,荡去身上的粉尘,看向宇文师,漫然道:”原来师叔在这.” Lu Mingshu helped herself up and dusted away the ashes on her before looking toward to Yu Wen shi.

“Greetings, senior uncle.” She said slowly.

看她抹去嘴边血迹,精神还算好的样子,宇文师松了口气:”师侄没事就好,真没想到,温世杰居然如此丧心病狂.” Seeing her wipe off the blood on the corners of her mouth and checking her injuries, Yu-Wen shi felt a wave of relief.

“I’m glad junior niece is all fine.

Wen Shijie is nuts!”   “呵呵,”陆明舒淡淡道,”算他聪明,活着未必就好.” “Hmm, he’s smart though.

Staying alive may not be a better choice.” Lu Mingshu said,as if none of it was her business.

不知为何,宇文师听着这句话,竟有些胆战心惊.

Her attitude made chills run down Yu-wen Shi’s spine.

“师侄打算怎么办?”他试探.

“So what does junior niece plan to do next?” He probed.

陆明舒勾唇一笑,扬了扬下巴:”何须我决定?这不就逼上门来了?” “Why are you asking me?” She smirked.

“Those that are making the decision have arrived.”
