420: Late 420: Late Editor: Exodus Tales  hey i just realise that i may typed deity’s festival wrongly as deity’s festive in one or two of the chaps so sorry!

瑶宫的弟子们最近习惯了,动不动就地动山摇的.琅华峰的动静传来,他们都很淡定,各自找根柱子抱着——九瑶山的建筑还是很牢靠的.

After the Deity’s festival, all the Nine Jade Palace disciples have gotten used to the tremors every now and then.

When the White Magnificent peak showed seismic events again, the disciples just grabbed a pole near them or hide in a building—The Nine Jade Palace buildings are firm.

等摇完了,才慢悠悠看过去,瞧瞧发生了什么事.

After the tremor, the disciples than step out to take a look.

“快看!琅华峰!”不知是谁喊了一声,声音激动.

“Look, the white magnificent peak!” Somebody shrieked.

不少人在心里嗤了一声,暗笑人家大惊小怪.

Many looked over at him with disdain.

~What’s new?~   但很快,抬头去看的人,无一例外被惊呆了.

But when they look over too, all of them were extremely shocked too.

只见原本云山雾罩的琅华峰上,突然多出了一截山峰,直直戳入云端,仿佛天都被捅破了.

An extra peak appeared on the White Magnificent Peak, standing tall as if it’s piercing through the sky.

这个…什么情况?只听说山突然塌的,没听说过突然长出来的.

~What’s…what’s going on?

Since when do mountains grow a peak?

I’ve only heard of the mountain peak collasping~   可是,不管他们揉多少遍眼睛,多出来的那截,仍在那里.总不会是集体出现幻觉吧?

All of them did a double-take but then newly grown peak still remains there.

~It can’t be that the whole sect got illusion at the same time?~   就在这时,天际横过一道剑光.

Suddenly, a sword light could be seen shooting across the sky.

“咦,那是谁?”有了那几日的经历,弟子们认出,这是某位师门长辈借剑飞遁的痕迹.

“Eh, who’s that?” After the few days tremor, the Nine Jade Palace disciple could tell that it’s the trace of an elder flying on his or her’s sword.”   “万禹太上长老,那是万禹太上长老啊!”认出剑光的弟子激动不已.

“Grand elder Wan Yu, that’s him!” A disciple who got recognize the sword light shouted excitedly.

上次万禹太上长老的剑光出现,还是两个月从琅华峰回来.有幸看过那一幕的无不津津乐道,没想到才两个月,又看到了.

The last time they saw the Grand Elder Wan Yu’s sword is two months ago when he returns from the White Magnificent peak.

Lucky individuals who get to witness that scene back then was more than delighted, and what’s even better is that they got to see it again after two months!

紧接着,光芒四起.有的踏剑光,有的驾坐骑,往常难得一见的出神境长老们,纷纷往琅华峰而去.

Soon, they could see many spirit realm elders, either riding on their mounts or their sword light, hurrying towards to white Magnificent peak.

“琅华峰又发生什么事了?”一头雾水的小弟子们纷纷猜测.

“What happened at the peak again?” The disciples all look at each other in confusion.

…

等结界全部消失,陆明舒站在天门云台上——以前这里是山顶,如今上面多了一截,成了山腰.

When the boundaries disperse, Lu Mingshu found herself standing at the heavenly door—-which used to be the peak, but is now the mountain waist.

不多时,万禹太上长老率先出现在云台.

Not after long, Grand elder Wan Yu is the first to appear.

“太上长老.”陆明舒面色自然,好像什么也没发生似的,对他行了一礼.

“Great grand elder.” Lu Mingshu stepped forward and bowed to him.

万禹太上长老淡淡一笑:”你无事吧?” “Are you okay?” Grand Elder Wan Yu asked, smiling thinly.

“多谢太上长老关心,弟子无事.” “Thank you, great grand elder, for the care.

Disciple is fine.”   万禹太上长老将她从头到脚扫了一遍,点点头:”你师父担心得很,无事就早些回去吧.” Grand Elder Wan Yu scanned her and nodded.

“Get back early.

Your master is very worried for you.”   她在神女遗迹里经历了什么,是否得到了神女遗物,这些事一概没问.

Surprisingly, Grand Elder Wan Yu did not ask anything about the goddess remnants.

既然太上长老不提,陆明舒也不多话:”是.” Since he did not ask about it, Lu Mingshu did not bother to say anything more.

“Yes.”   简单对答两句,万禹太上长老就这样踏着剑气离开了.好像他过来琅华峰,只是关心她是否无恙似的.

With that, Grand Elder Wan Yu bid her goodbye and left with his sword light.

As if he’s just here to check on her condition.

陆明舒看着他的背影,勾了勾嘴角.到底是太上长老,行为处事,自有风范.在此之前,他并不关心陆明舒将来会有多高的成就,反正自己行将就木,只要后辈能有十几年安稳便可.

Looking at his back view, the corner of Lu Mingshu’s mouth hook up.

~Indeed is the Grand Elder.

He has the ways of dealing with stuff.~ Before this, how well Lu Mingshu would be doing not matter to him.

All he cares is that his offsprings would have a good life since he’s going to the heavens soon.

如今他发现,陆明舒的实力强横到扫平一切,周家根本不是障碍了,便很干脆地把先前的打算全部抛开.既不示好,也不市恩,恰当地摆出一个长辈该有的态度.

Now that he realises that Lu Mingshu is so powerful that even the Zhou’s could not stop him, he happily put aside all his plans to help the Nine Jade Palace maintain and just play a role as what an elder would.

这是深知陆明舒性格,只要自己站在恰当的位置上,就不会有清算的遗祸.

This shows that he knows Lu Mingshu well and decide to mind his own business, and let his offsprings settle what they should themselves.

万禹太上长老离开,宇文师等人随即赶到.

When the Grand Elder Wan Yu left, Yu-Wen shi and the rest hurried over.

神女祭结束后,这些长老们都没有离开,就在九瑶山上等着,看她什么时候出来.

After the Deity’s festival, the elders did not leave.

All of them waited on the Nine Jade Mountain patiently, urgent to see when she’s coming out.

现在到了验收的时候了.

The time for the results is out.

关系亲近的,看到她安全回转,无不欣喜.疏远的,顺便来试探她的态度.

Those who are close were on cloud nine, upon seeing that she’s all fine.

While those who aren’t are trying to test her attitude towards them.

神女祭血流成河,不但震慑了整个九瑶宫,而且整个古夏都被震动了.

Having to turn the deity’s festival into a bloody festival is something that not only shocked the whole Nine Jade Palace but caused an uproar in ancient china.

就像周妙如想的那样,古夏这千余年来,还从来没有发生过这样的事,简直骇人听闻.

Like what Zhou Miaoru have thought.

This is the first time ever that such incident happens in the ancient China, and it sends chills down everyone’s spine.

若是没有一点铺垫,陆明舒冷血残酷的名声,大概已经传遍古夏了.

If not for Xie Lianzhen, Lu Mingshu would most probably be known as a cold-blooded animal by now.

幸而谢廉贞事先有所预料,早早把消息放出去.既然是周家先动的手,她反击就不是品性的问题了.

Thankfully Xie Lianzhen came out with the idea to spread rumours about the Zhou’s putting her in a difficult position.

So now, it seems like Lu Mingshu is doing all this for her defence.

不过,将同门长老屠杀至此,她这凶名算是传出去了.一个女孩子,年纪轻轻的,居然下得了这样的狠手,谁人不惊?

But having a young girl slaughtering her elders without hesitation is enough to ruin her name.

他人尚且如此,更不用说九瑶宫内部.宇文师这样的老油条都被镇住了,明知周家已经覆灭,陆明舒一日没出来,他就一日不敢擅作主张,到现在都没动手清算.

Not only the outsiders, even Yu-Wen Shi and the other elders in the Nine Jade Palace all feared her now.

Even though the knew that the zhou’s are doomed, as long as Lu Mingshu have yet to return, there’s nobody who dared to act as they wish.

He do not even dare to find the Zhou’s for revenge now.

可以说,现在的九瑶宫,上至长老,下至弟子,都在看陆明舒的眼色,就怕这个杀星动了杀念.

It could be said that now, the whole Nine Jade Palace fears Lu Mingshu.

No matter who they are, they feared that she’s go insane and start her killing spree.

建派数百年,九瑶宫历史上从来没人有这样的风光——太上长老都没有.

Ever since the sect was established, she’s the first in the histroy, to make the whole sect fear of her.

众长老寒暄的寒暄,恭喜的恭喜,试探的试探.

She’s currently surrounded by elders who are here to check on her, congratulate her or test her attitude.

宇文师看出她不想应付,便提议让她先回去休息,一众长老连声应和.

Seeing that she’s not in the mood to deal with all of them, Yu-Wen Shi suggest that they should let her have a rest first, which all elders agree to.

陆明舒确实有些撑不住了,在玄女幻景中修炼,极其消耗精神力.她草草应付一番,便孤身回了碧溪谷,留下一众长老站在天门云台上看着她的背影.

In fact, Lu Mingshu really couldn’t take it anymore.

Training in the mystic lady’s imaginary swordsmanship word is mentally draining.

She greeted all of them and left for the Green Jade Valley within no time, leaving the group of elder on the mountain to watch her leave.

有人嗤笑一声,说道:”没想到啊,九瑶宫有朝一日,要看一个小女子的眼色.嘿嘿,说起来,我们可都是她的长辈呢!” “Haish who would have thought that one day, the Nine Jade Palace would have to live under the girl?

We are all her elder after all.” Someone sneered.

听出他语气中的不甘心,与这位还算亲近的长老接道:”实力为尊,谁叫我们这些长辈,都没人家强呢!” Hearing how unhappy he sounds, an elder shook his head.

“Ability speaks louder than anything else.

Who ask us, the elders to be nothing like her?”   不甘心又怎么样?打不过,只能乖乖认输喽!要说这位,比周家好应付多了,不搞算计,也不来阴的.而且,以她的天资,必然会全力冲击境界,这么一来,就没有太多精力干涉门派事务,他们的日子也松快点.

So what if one is unhappy?

What can you do when you are not her competition?

But what’s good is that it is easier to please her than the Zhou’s.

All she cares about is her cultivation and she doesn’t like mind games.

With her talent, she’ll surely focus and improving her cultivation and she would not have time to care about the sect anymore.

By then, they would be able to lead a good life.

众长老纷纷散去,不管高兴还是不快,都满心感慨.看琅华峰这动静,只怕这位得了神女传承,强者愈强,也不知道自己是不是有机会沾个光?

The elders start leaving one by one.

No matter how they feel about the situation, all can’t help to lament at the activity on the peak.

~Did she get the deity’s inheritance?

If that’s so the stronger would get stronger.

When would it be my turn?~   小呆展翅而飞,不过片刻就到了碧溪谷.

Little Daze flew high on the sky, and within no time, she has reached the green jade valley.

碧溪谷还和往日一样,安详静谧,只多了几个人.

Like the previous days, the green jade valley is peaceful and remains the same.

Just that there are a few more visitors.

“小姐!”她一落下,惠娘就冲过来,拉着她又哭又笑,”你没事吧?有没有受伤?怎么这么久才回来?” “Miss!” As soon as she landed, Hui Niang rushed over in tears.

“Are you alright?

How are you?

What took you so long?”   陆明舒好一阵安慰.

Lu Mingshu tried to calm her down.

和惠娘说完话,让小呆自个儿玩去,她慢步走回小院.

After speaking to Hui Niang, she let little daze off to play and she walked back to the courtyard.

短短两月,这座简陋的小院,就被收拾得认不出来了.院子墙角种了花草,廊下挂上了木制小偶,还有古拙雅致的桌椅…并没有太多的改动,只是稍加修整,添置了一些东西,就变得风雅意趣起来.

Within two months, the shabby courtyard has turned unrecognizable.

The flowers hanging on the wall, the wooden puppet on the side along with the old tables are still there…not much has been changed, just that it have been cleaned up and some decorations were added, making the courtyard look cleaner and not as dull as it was.

有位公子坐在院中烹茶,玉面乌发,笑如春风.

A handsome gentleman sat in the courtyard brewing tea.

He’s all smile.

他举了举杯中茶:”九瑶山的雪水清冽纯粹,正适合煮茶,先饮一杯?” He held up a cup and smiled.

“The water from the Nine JAde mountain is clear, and suitable for brewing tea.

Would you like some?”   陆明舒面无表情地走过去:”你来晚了.” “You’re late.” Lu Mingshu walked over and said coldly.
