413: Gossips 413: Gossips Editor: Exodus Tales  剑爆形成的烟花,将陆明舒淹没了,她释出来的玄光,尽数被吞噬.

Within no time, Lu Mingshu is being drowned by the fireworks.

The mystic force she released is all being swallowed up.

祁掌院露出微笑.

A smile form on courtyard leader Qi’s face.

他知道,之前的磁爆弄不死陆明舒,现下的剑爆大概也弄不死她.不过,他的目的本来就不是要她死,而是得到她手中的东西.

Courtyard leader Qi is aware this explosion would not cause her death since the electromagnetic explosion did not kill her.

But Courtyard leader Qi never wanted her life to begin with.

All he wanted was the secrets she had.

然而,他还没笑完,就见烟花之中,突然腾起一道清光,直冲天际.

But the next second, a bright ray of light shot up to the sky.

清光如月,在半空一荡,剑爆形成的烟花,竟然就这样一扫而空.

As clear as the moonlight, the light swirl around the sky and the fireworks dissipated in the thin air in no time.

祁掌院的笑容停在脸上.

Courtyard leader Qi smile became stiff.

“只是这样,就太令我失望了.”陆明舒立在半空,烈风鼓荡起衣袖,神情漠然,”剑爆,不是只有你才会.” “That’s all?

Such a disappointment, senior uncle Qi.” Lu Mingshu floated in the air, looking down at Courtyard leader Qi in disdain.

“I thought senior uncle would be acquired with some unique skills.”   话音一落,便见一道剑气升起,如明月升空,堂堂正正,剑威煌煌,直击而去.空中响起尖锐的爆鸣声,一声接着一声,如爆竹般不绝于耳.

As soon Lu Mingshu finish her words, a sword energy rose into the air.

As if moon rising up to the sky, it shone so brilliantly that it nearly blinded everyone present.

The next second, a fist of orange flame could be seen punching out from the sky and sounds of continuous explosion could be heard.

祁掌院紧盯着这道剑气,瞳孔缩紧.他知道自己这个时候应该怎么应对,一为闪避,二为回击.但是,这剑气似慢实快,只一眨眼,就到了面前,那强大的压迫力,压得他几乎抽不出玄力来.

Courtyard leader Qi kept an eye on the sword energy and furrowed his eyebrows.

He already have plans in his mind.

To dodge or counter-attack.

However, the speed of the sword energy is like a lightning, and it’s right in front of his eyes within no time.

The put a huge pressure of Courtyard leader Qi and for a moment he was stunned, unsure of what to do next.

生死一瞬间,祁掌院终于将玄力抽出,剑气骤发,还击而去.

In the critical moment, Courtyard leader Qi exert all his mystic force and counter-attacked with his sword energy.

“轰——”他的剑气刚刚飞出,一触到陆明舒的剑气,就突然爆了开来.没有过多的技巧与心机,就是直来直往的剑爆,庞大的力量,如山岳般压下.

“Boom—-” As soon his sword energy came in contact with Lu Mingshu’s it exploded almost immediately.

“咔嚓!”祁掌院听到护体玄光破碎的声音,随即大力袭来,他飞跌了出去.

“Crack!” Courtyard leader Qi could hear his mystic light shield breaking apart, and he felt a strong force pushing him out.

…

在有心人的引领下,小道消息流传得飞快.半日不到,九麓州已经传遍了.

“听说了吗?那位刚刚回来的陆长老,被掌门夫人暗算,借着祭拜神女的机会,堵在琅华峰.” “Have you heard about the news of elder Lu being plotted against by the sect leader’s wife and she’s now being trapped in the white magnificent peak!”   “这事啊,听是听说了.不过好生奇怪,掌门夫人为什么要对付派中长老?”这位半信半疑.

“Ah, yeah.

But why would the sect leader’s wife plot against elder Lu?”   “哎呀!你忘了那位陆长老是什么身份?十五年前,有人来西川寻亲,这事你记得吗?” “Haish, do you not know who Elder Lu is?

She’s the one that’s here to look for her father fifteen years ago!”   “天天有人来西川寻亲,这谁记得!” “There are so many people coming over to Xichuan in search of their family daily, who would remember the details?”   “当然是对方身份不凡才会记忆深刻啊!他们来寻亲的对象是掌门,付掌门!” “But it’s special!

She came here to look for Sect leader Fu!”   “啊!我想起来了,你是说付掌门的前妻啊…” “Oh, do you mean the sect leader’s ex-wife?”   “不然呢?这位陆长老,就是付掌门前妻生的女儿啊!” “Duh!

Elder Lu is her daughter!”   “我了个去,原来是这样!我记得当年有传过,付掌门的前妻嫌贫爱富,把他逐出家门,后来见他出头,又来投亲…” “Oh my god, so it’s this!

There have been rumours back then saying that the sect leader’s ex-wife divorces him because he was poor, and came to look for him when he’s doing better…”   “哎呦,你见过来投亲自己一头撞死的吗?再说,看看周家这几年的作为,你还信他们的!” “If that was true, why would she kill her self?

Look at how the Zhous treat elder Lu these years, do you really believe those rumours?”   “唔,咱们又不是当事人,哪能知道真相…” “It’s all baseless rumours, and I’m not elder Lu, to begin with…”   “嘿!反正我是不信的.听说那位陆长老,进了九瑶宫一直被打压…” “Whatever, I really do not believe that the Zhou’s are any good…”   陆明舒在天门之争中一举胜出,然后又在麒麟会上夺得魁首,关于她的事迹,早就耳熟能详.当年来寻亲之事,表面上还是周家宣扬的版本,暗地里小道消息早就传开了.只是因为周家势力庞大,没有形成规模,好些人将信将疑.

After Lu Mingshu received an outstanding result in the heavenly door competition and Qilin festival, almost everyone in the Nine Jade Palace is familiar with Lu Mingshu’s story.

On the surface, it seems the sect is familiar with Zhou’s version story.

However, the truth has already been spread across the sect, just that the Zhou’s were powerful thus not many believed in it.

而今天,就像是大爆发似的,几乎人人都在谈论——毕竟方才琅华峰的动静,每个人都感觉到了.

And today, as if the electromagnetic explosion, everyone in the sect is talking about the rumours, as the happenings on the white magnificent peak really made many afraid for their lives.

不知道怎么的,风向突然就变了.消息先从下院传出,然后酒楼茶馆,几乎都传遍了.

It’s unknown what caused the rumours to spread like wildfire, from the lower house, than to the teahouse and the story is now everywhere.

九麓州不小,除了九瑶宫弟子的家眷,还有不少慕名投靠来的,更有各玄门,世家的眼线,早就形成了一个规模不小的城镇.这话一传出去,很快引起了一场风暴.整个九麓州,几乎都在谈论这件事,好像不谈就落伍似的.

The Jiulv province is not a small place.

Not only is it home to the families of Nine Jade Palace disciples, but it also houses the spies from other sects, aristocratic families and people who are here to seek teachings thus it has long turned into a small town.

In no time, the whole Jiulv province is talking this matter.

“…原来是这样,陆长老安全归来,而且进入了出神境,所以掌门夫人坐不住了?” “…So it’s because elder Lu has broken through and returned safely thus the sect leader’s wife couldn’t take it anymore?”   “不不不,应该先从掌门大小姐暗算陆长老开始.哦,对了,说起来,陆长老才是真正的掌门大小姐呢!不过,周家肯定是不认的啦!” “No, it all started when elder miss Fu tried to Assassin elder Lu.

Oh, by the way, Elder Lu should be the elder miss of the Nine Jade Palace, but this is something the Zhous would never admit.”   付明溪才被送走不久,虽有周家压制,这消息还是有不少人知道的,只是之前没有人敢放到明面上说.借着这个机会,整个过程公之于众,满足了许多人的好奇心.

After Fu Mingxi has been sent away, even with Zhous keeping the news under control, it’s still well known to many, but no one dared to speak of it.

And today, they could finally feed their curiosity.

“你想,付大小姐这是要陆长老的命啊,但凡有点脾气的,哪能忍?这仇已经结下了,掌门夫人一不做二不休,干脆趁着陆长老刚刚进入出神,就发难了.” “Of course Elder Lu and the Zhous are arch enemies now!

Who would be able to tolerate if when somebody tried to take your life!

Since they are already on bad terms, than why would the sect leader wife not take this chance, the Deity’s festival to get rid of her?”   “这也太…陆长老可是麒麟会新秀榜的榜首,又二十二岁进入出神,这等天纵之才,要是死在自己人手里,岂不是…” “But…Elder Lu ranks first in Qilin’s festival’s New Ranking, and she’s only twenty-two years old, yet she has already broken through!

Such a rare talent!

It would be such a pity if she died in the Zhou’s hands…”   “谁说不是呢?看周家这行事,我倒是相信了当年那位陆夫人所言,自家出神境长老都要弄死,周家还有什么做不出?” “Why would the Zhou’s not do that?

Now, I believe what madame Lu said back then.”   “这倒也是…” “True…”   “还有付掌门,嘿!之前还说他是天纵奇才,修为进步快我承认,但有其他本事吗?当掌门也十几年了,没看到啊!” “Hey, what about the sect leader?

Didn’t they once said he’s a natural martial artist?

But what can he do other than breaking through fast?

We haven’t seen anything from him after the ten years he has taken over the position!”   “怎么没有?至少吃软饭的本事不差!” “What do you mean by that?

He is good in relying on his wife too!”   “嘿嘿!” “LOL!”   “哈哈!” “Hahah!”   凑在一起笑完了,又发表意见:”希望陆长老能活着出来,二十二岁的出神境呢!我们九瑶宫好久没风光过了.” “I hope Elder Lu could survive thought.

She’ll bring glory to our sect.”   “倒也是.某些人坏事干多了,也该倒霉了.” “True.

And those with malicious intentions get their retribution.”   …

周妙如起先并不重视,等到消息传到她耳中,已经来不及了.

Zhou Miaoru initially did not care about the rumours.

But when she did, what’s done is already done.”   “怎么回事?”她震怒不已,”这些话都是哪里传出来的?” “What’s all this about!” Zhou Miaoru blew her top.

“Who did they hear it from?”  姚大娘叹了口气:”夫人,下院的掌院张鲲,是刘极真的师叔,那丫头却是要唤他一句师叔祖的.” “Madame, the courtyard leader of the lower house, Zhang Kun.” Stewardess Yao sighed.

“That girl address him as senior grand uncle.”   周妙如气得七窍生烟:”可恶!早知道,当年就该夺了他下院掌院之职!当初他摆出一副置身事外的样子,我还当他识相.” Zhou Miaoru gritted her teeth, face red in anger.

“He should just go to hell!

I should have taken that position away from him!

That useless guy!”   姚大娘心想,这有什么办法呢?周家再厉害,也不可能将所有职位都握在手里.

~But there’s no choice.

No matter how powerful the Zhou’s are, is impossible for them to take up all the positions.~ Stewardess Yao sighed.

“夫人,现下我们该怎么办?” “Madame, so what should we do now?”   周妙如再也端不住温柔贤淑的嘴脸,来来回回一圈一圈地绕:”派人辟谣?恐怕用处不大了,对方早有准备.不管?这也不成…” Zhou Miaoru couldn’t care less about her image.

She pace up and down the room, clenching her fist.

“Sent people down to stop the rumours?

No, they may have prepared to tackle that…Ignore it?

No it won’t work too…”   思来想去,周妙如只能下令,派人尽力压制风言风语.哼!那个死丫头死在里面,谣言能有什么用?周家已掌了实权,岂是几句谣言就能动摇的?

After some thoughts, Zhou Miaoru could only sent people down to control the rumours.

~Hmmp!

What could the rumours do when she had already died?

The zhou’s is strong enough to withstand such stupid rumours!~  她看向琅华峰,面沉如水.那么大的动静,那个丫头应该死了吧?可是,怎么人还没出来?

She look over to the White Magnificent Peak and sighed heavily.

~She should have been dead, but why are they not coming out?~
