433: Marriage 433: Marriage Editor: Exodus Tales  这条件,听起来似乎很好,她几乎什么也不用保证,就能得到一个化物境的传承.

With the inheritance in exchange, the condition is actually worth it.

但陆明舒知道,做起来并不容易.

However, Lu Mingshu knows that it would not be an easy task.

“怎么,不敢吗?”元昔太上长老笑问.

“Why?

Do you not dare?” Grand elder Yuan Xi laughed.

“太上长老不必激将.”陆明舒淡淡道,”或许,这笔买卖很值得,但弟子怕夹缠不清.” “There’s no need to incite me, great grand elder.” Lu Mingshu said coldly.

“It may be worth it, but disciple do not like trouble.”   元昔看着她,目光幽深:”这么说,你要拒绝了?” “So you’re going to reject?” Yuan Xi look at her, sadness could be seen through her eyes.

“不.”她抬起头,”有所得就要有所舍,太上长老的传承,值得弟子费这个心.” “No.” Lu Mingshu looked up, since it’s a give and take, Grand Elder’s inheritance is worth Disciple to do so.”   元昔指着她,苦笑:”你这孩子,真是反骨!既然答应,老老实实说不就好了,非要来个转折.” Yuan Xi pointed at her and smiled bitterly.

“You’re such a weird girl, what’s there the need to keep others in suspense.”   她这时才露出真心的笑容:”抱歉,弟子就是这么别扭的人,总是不喜欢让别人太得意.” “I’m sorry.

Disciple has always acted in this way.

I can’t bear to see others getting please.” Lu Mingshu giggled.

“唉…”元昔想说什么,最后只是摇摇头,”罢了罢了.你们进来吧!” “Haish…” Yuan Xi wanted to say something more but decided not to in the end.

“Whatever, come in, the both of you!”   后面那句,并不是对她说的.

The last sentence is not meant for her.

稍一停顿,门再次被打开,秀姑姑和榕儿低着头进来,一副做错事的表情.尤其那个榕儿,时不时偷眼看她.

The door creaked opened slowly, Aunt Xiu and Rong-er walked in slowly, looking extremely guilty.

Especially Rong-er, stealing glances at Lu Mingshu constantly.

陆明舒忽然觉得有些好笑.这作派,倒像是元昔临终之前,将心爱的曾孙许配给她似的.

Lu Mingshu finds the scene funny.

~Why does it seem like Yuan Xi is marrying her precious granddaughter to me right before she passes on?~   “太师祖…” “Martial grandmother…”   “太上长老…” “Great grand elder…”   “方才的话,你们也听到了.”元昔老态龙钟的脸上,神情肃然.

“I believed you guys have heard what I said.” Grand elder Yuan Xi looked at them calmly.

“是.” “Yes.”   “此事老身自会通知掌门,你们二人做好准备.” “I’ll inform the sect leader personally, so be prepared.”   “太师祖!”榕儿叫了一声,跪到她身前,眼泪汪汪.

“Martial grandmother!” Rong-er wailed and kneeled down by her side.

“哭什么?”元昔沉声道,”你又不是不知道会有今日.” “Why are you crying?” Yuan Xi asked softly.

“Is not an unexpected event too.”   榕儿强忍着,到最后还是流下泪:”榕儿忍不住.” Rong-Er tried to take in her tears but to no avail.

Tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Rong-Er do not want it to happen.”   看着最后陪在自己身边的晚辈,元昔到底心软了,摸了摸她的头发:”太师祖已经将你托付给你陆师姐,以后万事都听她的,明白吗?” Looking at her disciple who spends her last days with her, Yuan Xi’s heart soften.

She sighed and caressed Rong-Er.

“Martial Grandmother has already passed you on to senior sister Lu.

Listen to her and be a good girl from now on, alright?”   “是.” “Yes.”   “别太伤心,总有这么一日的…” “It’s okay, the day would come eventually…”   凄哀的氛围中,陆明舒离开了春深峡.

In the sorrow atmosphere, Lu Mingshu left the Grand Spring Canyon.

数日后,元昔太上长老坐化,九瑶宫敲起了大钟.

After a few days, Grand Elder Yuan Xi went on.

The bell in the Nine Jade Palace rang ^to grief for her.^  又过了七日,那位秀姑姑和榕儿到了碧溪谷,站在陆明舒面前.

Seven days have passed, and Aunt Xiu and Rong-er is now at the Green Jade Valley, staring at Lu Mingshu.

…

“惠娘,我来帮你吧!” “Hui Niang, let me help you!”   “不用不用,这些事都是做惯的,元姑娘自便就好.” “No need, this is my daily chores, just take a rest, Miss Yuan.”   “叫我榕儿就好啦!” “You can just call me Rong-er!”   “这不好…” “But it is…”   “元师妹!”陆明舒的声音,打断了元榕和惠娘的争让.

“Junior sister Yuan!” Lu Mingshu called out for Yuan Rong, cutting her and Hui Niang’s bicker.

元榕放下那边的事,忐忑地走到她的面前:”陆师姐.” Yuan Rong placed the things on her hand down carefully and went to Lu Mingshu.

“Senior sister Lu.”   她原是弃婴,因元昔喜欢这个晚辈,就让她从了自己的姓.

She’s an orphan.

Because Yuan Xi liked her a lot, she took after Yuan Xi’s surname.

陆明舒点点头,淡声道:”你做自己的事就好,惠娘那边不用你帮忙.” Lu Mingshu nodded.

“Just mind your own business, Hui Niang does not need your help.”   元榕咬了咬唇:”对不起,是师妹多事了…” Yuan Rong bit her lips.

“I’m sorry, junior sister is too busybody…”   “我没有嫌弃你,”陆明舒继续道,”既然让你进了碧溪谷,那就是接受你了,你不用这么不安.你的不安,会影响修炼,反倒增添我的麻烦.” “I’m not chiding you.” Lu Mingshu said.

“Since you are here, it shows that we have already accepted you.

Just feel comfortable right here.

If you aren’t comfortable, it will affect your cultivating and bring more trouble to me.”   元榕动了动嘴角:”…对不起.” Yuan Rong pouted.

“….I’m sorry.”   “…”陆明舒不想再说了,抽了本剑谱给她,”今天开始,每天练五百遍.” “….” Lu Mingshu did not want to explain further.

She took out a book for her.

“From today on, practice this every day for five-hundred times per day.”   元榕瞪大眼:”五百遍?” “Five hundred times?” Yuan Rong looked at her with wide eyes.

她点头:”怎么,做不到?” Lu Mingshu nodded.

“Why?

Can’t you do it?”   元榕马上道:”做得到!师姐放心,我绝不偷懒.” Yuan Rong ^immediately shook her head^ “Of course I could!

Be at ease senior sister, I would not be lazy.”   “那就去吧.” “Than get going.”   “是.” “Yes!”   五百遍,她就没心思乱想了吧?

~Five hundred times, she would not have the time to imagine things.~   陆明舒从来没有教过弟子,也不想把事情扔给已经很忙碌的师父,索性就用了最简单的办法——让元榕没时间胡思乱想.她才十五岁,正是冲击融合境的关键时刻,也是学习状态最好的时候,这时候不多下苦功,还等什么时候?

Lu Mingshu never had a disciple, and she does not wish burden her master more.

Thus she chooses to do it the simple way——let her focus on training.

She’s only fifteen, and it’s the prime time for her to break through the spirit realm.

If she does not train now, when would she?

于是,碧溪谷每个人都很忙碌.

Thus everyone in the Green Jade Valley is caught up with their own duties.

刘极真忙着捡回实力,整顿门派;陆明舒忙着修炼,教元榕;元榕忙着每天练剑.

Liu Jizhen is busy with getting his stamina back and tidying the sect up, while Lu Mingshu is busy with practising and teaching Yuan Rong while Yuan Rong is busy practising.

惠娘和阿生是全力支持的后勤,另外,秀姑姑的到来,接过了让他们无所适从的对外交际,倒是轻松不少.

Hui Niang and Ah Sheng focused on the work in Green Jade Valley.

The arrival of Aunt Xiu took over the job of having to communicate with the other world, making their lives simpler.

一片平和中,时间继续向前.

The green jade valley remains peaceful while time fly forward at a fast pace.

…

此时的天运城,谢廉贞走进紫宸宫.

Tianyun City.

Xie Lianzhen entered the imperial apartment of amethyst  “母亲.” “Mother.”   正在忙碌的王妃抬手让他等等,待批完所有奏折,才松了口气.

The queen did not even look up from her work.

She held up a hand, signalling for Xie Lianzhen to hold on.

After some time, she finally got all her work done.

The Queen than heaved a sigh of relief.

“最近事儿多,真是忙死了.”王妃抱怨.

“There’s so much to do these days, I’m so busy.” The Queen complained.

谢廉贞笑道:”让别人做不就是了?说到底,是您自己不放心,才会多的.” Xie Lianzhen laughed.

“Then let others do the work?

There’s a lot of work just because you are paranoid.”   王妃嗔怪地瞪了他一眼:”你这张嘴!” “Watch your words!” The queen chided.

“难道不是吗?”谢廉贞摊手,”当初您就没这么忙.” “But that’s the facts!” Xie Lianzhen shrugged.

“You weren’t that busy before then.”  他说的是逸郡王叛乱前.

Xie Lianzhen meant by before the King of Yijun’s rebel.

“以前是母亲太自信了.”王妃道,”总觉得她们有野心是好事,更能驾驭她们,谁知道就出了个叛徒.” “Mother was too confident back then.” The queen said.

“I always thought that them being ambitious is a good thing, so I could control them better but who knows that I’ve bred a rat?”   “那也不能因噎废食啊!”谢廉贞满不在乎,”再说了,她们玩心机,玩得过您吗?有丁青青那个例子,别人还敢作妖?” “But you can’t give up the whole forest just because of a spoilt tree!” Xie Lianzhen replied.

“Moreover, none of them is better than you in terms of mind games.

With Ding Qingqing as an example, why would the others dare to act on you?”   “话是这么说…” “It makes sense, but…..”   “不然呢?实力放着就是镇压用的,您干嘛要想着以德服人?” “But?

That’s how we should make use of our power, do control others.

Or what do you want to do with it?

Charity?”   王妃竟然被他的话堵住了,瞪着他,好半天才道:”你啊!还好以后继位的不是你.” The queen could not find any words to retort.

“I’m speechless!

Luckily you are not the one who is going to pack over this position.” She glared at him.

谢廉贞无所谓地笑:”对呀,反正我不是王族,张口就来,也不用负责.” Xie Lianzhen laughed and shrugged.

“Yeah.

I’m not a royal anyway.

I can just say whatever I want and not be responsible for it.”   王妃又好气又好笑:”可不许这么教你弟弟,要是教坏了,看母亲不扒了你的皮!” His actions made the Queen laughed.

“This is something you should not teach your younger brother.

If you start teaching him this kind of things, mother would skin you alive!”   谢廉贞摊手一笑.

Xie Lianzhen laughed.

“唉!”看着这个儿子,王妃是既头疼,又骄傲.没了先前的沉郁,眼下的他,出色得让她骄傲.到现在,七真观再也没人敢说,他不够资格做廉贞星君了.除了魏春秋,谁还比得上他?何况,在王妃眼里,魏春秋也是比不上自家儿子的.

“Haish.” Looking at her son, the queen do not know how to feel.

She’s proud of him, yet having a headache.

The Xie Lianzhen now is no longer depressed, and outstanding.

Now, nobody in the seventh truth platform dared to say he is not fit to be the alioth star-lord.

Expect for Wei Chunqiu, there is no one who could be his competitor.

And of course, to the queen, her son is the best.

只是,他本性一暴露,王妃发现这个儿子,不知道像了谁!在他眼里,竟是全无是非道义,都说人命贵重,他却完全不当回事.就像她之前说的,幸好以后继位的不会是他,不然,还不得是个暴君?真是怪了,她可不这样,他父亲也不这样,自家师父更是心怀慈悲,这孩子到底怎么养成这性子的?

But when he show is true self, the queen is extremely confused.

~Who did he take on?

In his eyes, no value take hold.

Life is precious, but in his eyes, it is nothing.~ Just like what the queen have said, luckily he is not the next king, or he would just be a tyrant!

~I’m not like this, neither his father is.

Moreover, my master is the kindest person I have ever seen?

Who did this child take on?~   王妃越想越怜.只觉得儿子吃了许多苦,心性才会扭曲至此,倒多了几分怜爱.

After some thoughts, the queen got more pitiful.

~He must have been through a lot that’s why he is now who he is.

I should shower him with more love~   “母亲,您唤我来什么事?”又听谢廉贞问.

“Mother, why did you call me over?” Xie Lianzhen cut her thoughts.

王妃回神,笑道:”有件事,母亲想想,还是叫你来商议一下.” The Queen shook her head and smiled.

“There’s something that mother want to discuss with you.”  “哦?” “Hmm?”   王妃顿了顿,说道:”有消息传来,玉鼎峰使者去了天海阁,议了一桩亲事.” The Queen paused for a moment.

“There is a piece of news that the Ancient Jade Sumit sent someone over to the Heavenly Sea Pavillion with marriage proposal in hand.”
