440: Two of a kind 440: Two of a kind Editor: Exodus Tales  凌无瑕一直以为,装是一门技术,不是谁想装就能装的.天下间装腔作势的人多了,有谁像她一样,装得浑然天成,装得人见人夸,装得天下闻名?

Ling Wuxia always thinks that acting is a skill, and not everyone could do it well.

There are many who live their lives wearing a mask all day, but who could be like her?

Doing it so naturally, earning her praises and making her famous.

什么?这种行为太婊了?她乐意,管得着?

~What did you say?

This is too b***** [what words could I change it to?]?

As long as I’m happy, what can you do with me?~   至今为止,天下间只有两个人见过她的真面目.

Until now, there’s only two who have seen the real Ling Wuxia.

是的,就是陆明舒和周如影.

Yes, it is Lu Mingshu and Zhou Ruying.

周如影跟狄宗师跑了,以后会不会出现都难说,就当她不存在吧.另一个嘛,虽然她大概也许可能真是上天安排给自己的对手,但没什么机会见面,也可以当不存在.

Zhou Ruying has gone off with Grandmaster Qiu, so it’s unknown if she would ever appear again.

Thus to Ling Wuxia, she’s just non-existence.

As of Lu Mingshu, even though she’s most likely the opponent that god have sent her, the chance of meeting her is slim too, so Ling Wuxia pretend as if she’s non-existence too.

可是,她真的没想到,这世上居然有比她还能装的人!

However, what she last expect is to meet another person who could act better than her!

没错,就是眼前的廉贞公子!

Yes, it’s the Alioth Star-Lord who is right in front of her now!

同类的气息,一闻就闻出来了.这位乍一看,真是风度翩翩优雅贵气,无论容貌还是仪态都无懈可击,把外形还算俊朗的赵长川秒成了渣渣.

They are of the same kind, so she could tell it immediately once she met him.

At first sight, he the perfect guy.

There aren’t any flaws in him, the character or looks, and within no time, he made Zhao Zhangchuan who is good looking to a bad guy.

但她是什么人啊?以凌仙子装了二十多年的经验来看,这位廉贞公子身上,处处透着精心刻意.从座驾的选择到队列分布,从顶上的发饰,到衣料的绣纹,从嘴角上扬的弧度到行礼的角度,全都是事先算好的!

However, who is Ling Wuxia?

After being fairy Ling for more than twenty-years, she could tell how well prepared Xie Lianzhen is.

From his mounts to the line up of the vehicle, hairstyle to accessories, the material of clothes to embroidery, when to smile and when to bow, it’s all well planned!

比如她自己,选择用赤火四翼禽,是因为其火红威猛的外表,正好与自己清雅出尘的形象形成反差.身上衣饰一色全白,佩饰不是珍珠就是碧玉.为了不使相貌过于明艳,修容格外花了心思.

Taking herself for example.

Ling Wuxia chose the scarlet fire four-winged bird as her mount as it could show the contrast between her dressing, making her pure image stands out.

She’s in all white, paring with an accessory made with pearls of jade to bring out her innocent character.

She also does not do heavy makeups too.

谢廉贞呢?他倒是得天独厚,长了张倾倒众生的脸.正因为如此,青麒兽和车驾都以古朴厚重为主,压一压他的风流气度,不会显得过于轻佻.

What about Xie Lianzhen?

He’s born with a feminine look that threw everyone off their feet.

Thus he chose the Green Qiling and decorate his vehicle in a darker shade of colour, to make him look more reliable and manly.

呵呵呵呵,天底下居然有人敢跟她凌无瑕比谁能装?!

~Hahahaha, there is someone in the world that’s better in acting compared to me?~   更过分的是,这张嘴还特别能说,几句话下来,就把赵长川给忽悠了,又几句话,连陪她过来的郭师叔也露出了欣赏的表情.

~What’s worst is that he is extremely good at using his mouth to fool people!

Just a few words and he had left Zhao Zhangchuan in a daze, and another few which left Senior uncle Guo smiling happily!~   凌无瑕内心咆哮!假的,你们都睁开眼看看,他的温雅有礼都是假的!

~It’s all fake!

Open up your eyes!

It’s all an act!~ Ling Wuxia felt like she’s going to turn red in anger.

但她偏偏不能说,因为凌仙子的人设不是这样的!这个时候,她就应该端着一张清雅从容的脸,在旁边微笑就好!

Sadly, she only could keep this to herself.

Because Fairy Ling could not act in this way!

What she should be doing now is to fake a smile, and watch the play.

她突然很怀念陆明舒,要是她的话,肯定当场就刺两句话,让对方不爽吧?

All of a sudden, she missed Lu Mingshu very much.

~If she’s here, she would have hit him down with sarcasm already.~   以前总讨厌她这个人不遵守规则,现在却特别羡慕.

Ling Wuxia used to hate her for not playing along with other’s acts, but now she envies her.

好悲哀,她居然有一天怀念起敌人…

~That’s so sad, never would I have thought that one day, I’ll miss my enemy….~  五人说完话,一起上了海船.

After a short conversation, they board the boat.

赵长川倒是想陪着,但凌无瑕借口自己晕船,把他打发走了.

Zhao Zhangchuan wanted to accompany them, but Ling Wuxia sent him off by saying that she was seasick.

一有独立空间,那位玉鼎峰的郭长老就道:”没想到廉贞公子,居然是这么个人,可惜过去被腿疾给拖累了.唉,当初我们不知内情,婉拒了那桩婚事,不然现在哪用得着这么麻烦.” Upon gaining space to themselves, Elder Guo came up to her.

“I didn’t expect that Gentlemen Linazhen would be such a person!

It’s such a pity that he was once being cumbered by his legs.

Haish, if we knew about this, we would have not rejected that marriage and I would have saved us a lot of trouble now.”   那桩婚事是哪桩,凌无瑕岂能听不出来.

Why would Ling Wuxia not know which marriage he is talking about?

当时玉鼎峰所有人都觉得,中州王妃的念想太可笑了.她凌无瑕是什么人?古夏融合境三大弟子之一,可说是天底下同年龄段最优秀的女子,那个瘸腿的草包公子怎么配得上?敢有这个念头,都是滑天下之大稽!

Back then, the whole Ancient Jade Summit was laughing at the Queen of Zhongzhou’s idea.

Who is Ling Wuxia?

One of the top three disciples in Ancient China, and the most excellent girl in her generation!

How would the paralyzed and useless star-lord be worthy of Ling Wuxia?

This was the biggest joke to the whole sect during that period of time.

现在好了,郭长老不过见了一面,居然就后悔起没答应那桩婚事.

~Great, Elder Guo has only met him once, yet he is regretting that the Ancient Jade Summit has rejected the marriage.~   这对凌无瑕来说,简直就是耻辱!都已经拒绝的婚事,回过头居然去夸对方,把她置于何地?但郭长老是自家长辈,她不能不给脸面.

To Ling Wuxia, this is shaming her!

Where did he put her?

Praising the part who had proposed a marriage that they have already rejected.

她扯了扯嘴角,笑得有些勉强:”当日是当日,廉贞公子腿疾能好,是他的机缘.如果当日答应了,未必就有今日.” She forced a smile and turned to Elder Guo.

“It’s fate that Gentleman Lianzhen is able to recover.

He might not be able to recover if we agreed to the marriage.”   “这么说倒也是.”郭长老点了点头,”唉,注定无缘,真是可惜.” “This is true.” Elder Guo nodded.

“It’s such a pity that you are not fated.”   凌无瑕一愣,怎么觉得这个话更不对了?好像她没这个福分似的…

Ling Wuxia blinked her eyes.

~Why does this sounds like I do not have the luck…~  还好漪澜说了一句:”郭师叔,当初的廉贞公子,本来就配不上凌师姐.就算现在,也不好说啊!凌师姐可是堂堂正正突破进入出神的,廉贞公子呢?谁知道他境界稳不稳?凌师姐以后要化物,洞虚,他要追不上,还不是一样配不起.” Luckily, Yilan took over the conversation.

“Senior uncle Guo, the Gentleman Lianzhen back then is not good enough for Senior sister.

Even now, it is hard to say.

Senior sister broke through the spirit realm with her ability, but who knows how did the Aloith Star-lord do it?

Is his realm even stable?

Senior sister is going to break through the assimilation real and even the void realm!

Who knows if he would be able to catch up with her then?”  郭长老想了想:”也是.”又道,”不过,咱们可不是为了婚配来的,这个你们记得吧?” Elder Guo thought about it for a moment.

“True.” He nodded.

“Girls, you must remember what you are here for.”   语气颇有警告之意,大概是怕她们两个姑娘,被谢廉贞的皮相给迷惑了?

He’s reminding them, maybe he’s afraid that the two of them would be attracted to Xie Lianzhen?

凌无瑕扯了扯嘴角:”这是自然,郭师叔放心.” Ling Wuxia plastered a smile.

“Of course, be at ease, senior uncle Guo.”   另一边,谢长晖也问:”公子,原来这位就是凌姑娘啊,传闻倒是不假,果然风采非凡.” On the other hand, Xie Zhanghui is also talking about Ling Wuxia to his young master.

“Young master, that’s Miss Ling?

Indeed as gorgeous at the rumours.”   谢廉贞懒懒地靠在窗边:”哦?你觉得她不错,要不也向玉鼎峰提个亲?说不定他们觉得你比寇威合适,更想跟七真观结亲呢!” Xie Lianzhen leaned onto the window ledge lazily.

“Oh, so you think that she’s pretty?

Why not proposed an marriage to the Ancient Jade Summit?

They might find you better than Kou Wei and agree to it!”   谢长晖吓了一跳,连忙摆手:”我随便说说,公子别当真.” Xie Zhanghui immediately waved his hands.

“I’m just saying, do not take it seriously, young master.”   “呵呵!” “Hehe!”   谢长晖觑了他一眼,又道:”说是这么说,可我觉得,比陆姑娘还是差了点.” Xie Zhanghui took a glance at him at started slowly.

“It’s to be said in this manner, but I think Miss Lu is still better.”   谢廉贞眉毛往上扬了扬,以谢长晖二十多年的经验来看,他这是心情好,于是继续说下去:”这位凌姑娘,别的都还好,就是太刻意了!看看陆姑娘多自然啊.要说凌姑娘的长相,根本不是这一挂的,她偏要往这方面打扮…” Xie Lianzhen raised an eyebrow.

With Xie Zhanghui’s twenty years of experience, he knew that his young master is pleased.

“Miss Ling is nice, but she’s too deliberate!

Look at miss Lu, she’s being herself.

Even though Miss Ling is pretty, but her face and the way she dresses is different…”  “这你就说对了.”谢廉贞伸出手指摇了摇,”我一见她就不喜欢,知道为什么吗?” “That’s right.” XIe Lianzhen smiled.

“Do you know why I dislike her the moment I see her?”   “为什么?” “Why?”   “装!”谢廉贞撇撇嘴,”论装的功力,也敢跟本公子比,真是不自量力!” “Her acting!” Xie Lianzhen pouted.

“Who do she thinks she is?

Competition her acting skills with me!”   谢长晖嘴角一抽,敢情您老人家是觉得,要装只能自己装是吧?这个理由可真是…呵呵呵呵!

Xie Zhanghui couldn’t hold his laughter.

~Old man, you think that you are the best actor, am I right?

This reason is….Hahahaha~   “这位凌姑娘,不同凡响啊!”谢廉贞从袖子里摸出一把折扇.这扇子白玉为骨,玲珑剔透,正好衬他这身打扮.这是他特意为此行准备的,还不到派上用场的时候.

“And this Miss Ling is different!” Xie Lianzhen fished out a fan from his pocket.

It’s made of white jade, totally flawless and suits his clothes well.

It’s a fan that he had specially prepared for this trip.

“她的本性,根本不是表面看到的这样.我估摸着,能有这样的功力,定是从小装到大,说不准连玉鼎峰都没人知道她的真面目.为什么要装成个与世无争的仙子模样?喜欢装的人,肯定会把自己装成和本性相反的样子,可见这位凌姑娘内心其实热情如火,啧啧!”这句”热情如火”颇有讽刺的意思.

“Her character is not what others deems to be.

Since she’s so good at it, she must have been acting like who she is since she was young.

Who knows if anybody in the Ancient Jade Summit knew how she was?

Why must she package herself like a fairy?

Someone who likes to act always acts in the opposite of how they really are.

So she must be an enthusiastic and loud girl!” Xie Lianzhen said with a bit of sarcasm.

谢长晖嘴角抽得更厉害了.那么您呢?和本性相反,是不是说明您的本性…

Xie Zhanghui can’t hold back his laughter.

~What about you?

Opposite from how one they really are, do you mean that you are actually..~
