434: Change in situation 434: Change in situation Editor: Exodus Tales  “亲事?”谢廉贞想了想,”玉鼎峰和天海阁的亲事,还有值得您留神的?难道是凌无瑕和寇威?” “Marriage?” Xie Lianzhen caressed his chin.

“Who in the Ancient Jade Summit or the Heavenly Sea Pavillion is worth you taking note of?

Could it be Ling Wuxia and Kou Wei?”   当年的三大弟子,在麒麟会后,魏春秋和寇威先后进入出神.凌无瑕比他们资历浅,又打磨了三年,也是一举破关.

The top three disciples in Ancient China.

After the Qilin festival, Wei Chunqiu and Kou Wei broke through the spirit realm one after another.

Ling Wuxia who is less experienced compared to them spent three more years preparing herself and broke through successfully.

原本,这是件让人津津乐道的事.谁知年前,失踪多年的陆明舒和谢廉贞回归,齐齐进入出神,一下子抢了他们的风头.

It should be a piece of delightful news to many, but who would have expected that last year, the Lu Mingshu and Xie Lianzhen who have dissapered for years returned, and have broken through the spirit realm already.

这事很有意思.一边是古夏曾经公认融合境最强的三人,陆续破关,一如既往延续着他们的强大.而另一边的两个呢?

Interesting.

The top three harmonization realm cultivator who has been acknowledged by ancient China has broken through one by one, proving that their ability.

But what about Xie Lianzhen and Lu Mingshu?

陆明舒夺得新秀榜第一的时候,有多少人认为,她凭借的只是运气?运气可以一时,不能一世,不知道有多少人等着看她摔跟头——人总是不自觉依赖经验,无论名声,资历,陆明舒跟这三个人都没法比,大众当然认为,那三人比她强才是正理,他们盼着陆明舒输,并不是厌恶她,而是维护自己的判断——总之,不少人坚信,到了出神这个关卡,她定会被打回原形.

When Lu Mingshu topped the new ranking, she was deemed as being extremely lucky.

Luck can assist you for a short term, but not long term.

It’s unknown how many have been waiting for her to fall—Humans always rely on past experience.

In terms of fame and experience, Lu Mingshu is no match for any of the three.

Thus it has always been known to the crowd that the trio would be stronger than her.

Many waited for her failure not because they detest her, but to prove their stand—in conclusion, many believed that when Lu Mingshu reached the spirit realm, she’ll go back to how she was.

谢廉贞就更有趣了.身为七真观的廉贞星君,外人最习惯的称号却是廉贞公子.公子这两个字,说是敬称,可有时候用,未免意味深长.既暗指他靠着王妃才有今日,也认为他担不起星君之名,只差没明着说他是个草包.

And it’s even more interesting for Xie Lianzhen.

He is the Alioth star-lord of the seventh truth platform but there’s more who address him as Gentleman Lianzhen other than the alioth-star lord.

Gentleman may be a formal way to address someone out of respect, but it has a hidden meaning, that Xie Lianzhen is where he is only because of the queen, and he is not fit to crown the alioth star-lord.

Only that they did not openly call him useless.

就是这样两个人,突然抢了曾经的融合境三大弟子的风头,谁人能不关注?陆明舒被打回原形?你见过二十二岁的出神境吗?廉贞公子是草包?三十不到就入出神,比之魏春秋毫不逊色,何况他自小就有腿疾.

This two-person has ripped the stoplight off the trio, catching the whole ancient China eyes.

Lu Mingshu would go back to how she was?

Have you ever seen a twenty-two-year-old spirit realm?

Gentleman Lianzhen is useless?

He has broken through the spirit realm before his thirties, not any worse than Wei Chunqiu.

Moreover, he has physical disabilities since young.

要是再谈及当年王妃有意为谢廉贞求娶凌无瑕,结果凌无瑕为了避他连麒麟会都不来参加,这事的娱乐性就有十成十了.

If the event of the queen wanting to marry Ling Wuxia to Xie Lianzhen and Ling Wuxia did not even attend the Qilin festival to avoid him was brought up, it would be more than entertaining.

不过,身为当事人的谢廉贞,根本没当回事.当年是王妃想求娶,又不是他,干他何事?这会儿提起凌无瑕,毫不在意.

However, this doesn’t seem to bother Xie Lianzhen by a single bit.

It was the queen who wants to marry Ling Wuxia do him, he’s not the one who wished for it to happen, of course, it’s unrelated to him.

王妃叹了口气:”虽然还没有确切的消息,但应该有八成的把握.” “Even though it’s not confirmed, but eighty per cent the news is true.” The Queen sighed.

谢廉贞动了动手指,笑了:”这事有意思.都说凌无瑕有可能成为玉鼎峰第一任女掌门,而寇威身为天海阁灵均岛正传嫡系,也不可能入赘吧?给他们议亲?玉鼎峰想干什么?” Xie Lianzhen snapped his fingers.

He then laughed.

“Interesting.

Ling Wuxia has a high chance of being the first female sect leader of the Ancient Jade Summit and being the direct descendants of the Heavenly Sea pavilion’s Spirit Jun island there’s no way he would marry into the Ancient Jade Summit.

What is the Ancient Jade Summit planning to do?”   “无非有二.”王妃公事公办的口吻,”其一,凌无瑕放弃成为下一任掌门.其二,玉鼎峰有求于天海阁,议亲是为结盟.” “What other reasons would there be?” The queen replied.

“Is either Ling Wuxia has given up on being the next sect leader, or the Ancient Jade Summit need the Heavenly Sea pavilion’s help and is using the marriage as joining an alliance.”   “哟,”谢廉贞眼中闪过精光,”他们反应还真快.” “Wow,” Xie Lianzhen eyes lit up.

“Fast, aren’t they?”   王妃笑道:”其实,与七真观议亲,才是最合适的.不过…”她看着眼前的儿子,充满骄傲,”谁叫他们先前有眼无珠?再来议亲,就是自取其辱了.” The Queen chuckled.

“Actually, the best plan would be to come for the Seventh truth platform.

But…” The queen looked at her son proudly.

“It’s their loss for being ignorant.

If they do so, they would be shaming themselves.”   “母亲,这么想可不对,你儿子再好,人家也不一定想嫁是不是?”谢廉贞的话说得很通情达理,可惜语气听着就不是那么回事了.

“Mother, this may not be the case.

No matter how good your son is, the other party may not want to be my wife!” An understanding sentence paired with an arrogant tone.

王妃被他逗得极欢悦,戳着他道:”你啊,刻薄!”接着说,”现下不知道多少眼睛盯着,九瑶宫大力推行秘法,七真观这半年亦有不少人突破,哪里瞒得过有心人的眼睛?他们这是急了,不然,就算结盟,也用不着凌无瑕和寇威亲自出马.” Hearing him, the queen grinned from ear to ear.

She jabbed him lightly.

“You’re so mean!

[combined the sentence] Do you know how many are eyeing the Nine Jade Palace’s secret techniques?

Look at the number of people we had breaking through, we would not be able to escape their eyes for sure.

They must be panicking that they have gotten Ling Wuxia and Kou Wei out.”   九瑶宫偏居一隅,神女祭过后又闭山休养生息,是以陆明舒并不知道,仅仅半年时间,她和谢廉贞的归来,引得整个古夏都动荡了.

The Nine Jade Palace is located in an isolated area, and after the Deity’s festival, Lu Mingshu has stayed in the Green Jade Valley and nowhere else, thus Lu Mingshu is unaware of this piece of news.

Within half a year, she and Xie Lianzhen’s return have left the whole ancient china in shock.

从西川回去不久,谢长晖一举突破出神.

Returning from the trip to Xichuan, Xie Zhanghui have broken through.

这倒没什么,谢长晖是七真观第五宗的护法,地位仅次于宗主,也是个能拿上台面的人物.但谢长晖之后,第五宗那些卡在瓶颈多年的弟子,陆续进入出神,就奇了.

It’s nothing surprising, Xie Zhanghui is the guardian of the fifth clan afterall.

He’s position is only inferior to the clan leader and he is someone who the sect would put out, thus it did not attract much attention.

But after Xie Zhanghui, many fifth clan’s disciples who has been stuck for years started to breakthrough too, and it is unexpected.

按七真观的惯例,这些弟子出神之后,多数会选择四处游历,与各地高手较技,一来二去,名声岂有不传开的?

Following the Seventh truth platform tradition, most disciple would travel around after breaking through, to compete with other elites in ancient china.

With this, the new spread out fast.

九瑶宫修剑,七真观亦修剑,这套大异于现世剑术的剑修之法,一出手便不同凡响,一路横扫,古夏焉能不震动?

Both Nine Jade Palace and Seventh Truth Platform uses sword as their weapon.

With skills that are out of their world, why would they not make the Ancient china’s jaw dropped?

本来就已经是天下三大派之一,七真观再得此秘法,以后还能遏制吗?若其势大到另两派也被压制,古夏格局就会大变.如此,玉鼎峰和天海阁岂能坐视?

Originally, Ancient China is the world of the top three sects.

Now the seventh truth platform has gotten the secret techniques too.

If they became powerful enough to press down on the other two sects, china would have a big chance.

So why would the Ancient Jade Summit and Heavenly Sea Pavillion stay still and do nothing?

是以,这个消息,并不是太意外.无论是谢廉贞还是王妃,早就有所预料.

Thus the news is not a huge surprise to both Xie Lianzhen and the queen.

“母亲想叫我做什么?”谢廉贞把.玩着腰间的玉坠.

“So what do mother wants me to do?” Xie Lianzhen asked, fiddling around with his jade pendant.

要说七真观没有独大的野心,那是不可能的.就算七宗没有,王妃也有.所以,知道他们两派要结盟,他们肯定会有应对.

It’s impossible that the Seventh Truth Platform do not wish to take control of the whole ancient china in their hands.

Even if the seven clans do not have the means, the queen would have it too.

Thus they are going to come up with something to counter.

王妃伸手理了理他的衣襟:”下个月,就是问海先生一百五十岁的寿诞.” The Queen raised her hands to tidy Xie Lianzhen’s collar.

“It’s Sir Wen Hai’s hundred and fifty birthday celebration the next month.”   问海先生,原名寇海,天海阁灵均岛岛主,同时,也是寇威的曾祖.

Sir Wen Hai, born with the name of Kou Hai.

He is the Heavenly Sea Platform Spirit Jun island’s master as well as Kou Wei’s great-grandfather.

如同七真观分七宗,玉鼎峰划峰治,天海阁则是以岛为基.他们立足于东海,大小岛屿足有上百,其中最大的十座,岛主可入镇海楼决事.

Just like how the seventh truth is divided into seven clans, the Ancient Jade summit divides themselves according to peaks and Heavenly Sea platform uses island.

Being in the middle of the eastern sea which holds around a hundred islands, the biggest ten islands masters could enter the Calming Sea house to discuss matters.

这位问海先生,在天海阁诸岛主中,资历最深,名气最大,居于首席,便是掌门都不能忽视他的意见.他一百五十岁的寿诞,当然是大事.

Sir Wen Hair is the most experienced and well known among all the island masters.

Thus he was given the first seat, a position that even the Sect Leader would have to take his opinion into consideration.

“您想叫我去?”谢廉贞马上道.

“You’re going to sent me there?” Xie Lianzhen guessed it immediately.

王妃笑着点头:”这些年,你因腿疾在身,甚少外出,外人对你有诸多猜测,如今是时候让他们看看了.” The Queen nodded, smiling.

“These years, you have not gone out much due to your legs.

The others have many guesses about you, so it’s time to show them what you have.”   谢廉贞语气平平:”哦,看看啊!” “Oh, to show them!” Xie Lianzhen said in a monotone.

王妃毫不掩饰自己的骄傲:”我儿子这么优秀,凭什么让那些人说三道四?不让他们看看,不知道自己是井底之蛙.” The queen smiled proudly, unable to hide her pride.

“My son is so outstanding, how could I let them say all they want?

Prove to them that they are the frog in the well, and not you.”   “真的?” “Really?”   “当然.”王妃眼睛眨都不眨,又道,”你信不信,陆姑娘也会去?” “Yes.” The queen confirmed.

“Do you believe that Miss Lu would be going too?”   “…”不用王妃分析,谢廉贞自己也能猜出来原因.七真观招牌大,顶在前头,难道九瑶宫就少了试探的人?他们总是要出来面对的,与其让其他人出面,不如让陆明舒自己来,镇一镇心怀不轨之人.

“…” Xie Lianzhen knew why even without the queen’s analysis.

The Seventh Truth Platform is huge, and the Nine Jade Palace would surely have someone who is going to probe too.

It’s impossible to hide forever, and instead of doing so, why not let Lu Mingshu speak for herself, and scare those with malicious intentions off?”   “乖,去收拾东西吧,母亲这就给你准备贺礼去.” “Come on, go pack your stuff, mother would prepare the gifts for you right now.”   谢廉贞乖乖应了:”知道了.” “Alright.” Xie Lianzhen nodded   看着他离开,王妃露出意味深长的笑.

Looking at him leave, the Queen smiled.

这时,隔间转出一人,正是中州王:”傅惊涛把状告到你这里来了?这孩子,真是闹事的一把好手啊!

And within no time, the King of Zhongzhou appeared in the room.

“Fu Jingtao complained to you?

This child, indeed the best trouble maker.”
