441: Wish come true 441: Wish come true Editor: Exodus Tales  镇海楼附近,一群公子小姐正在游船.

Near the Calming Sea house, a group of misses and gentleman is roaming around the sea.

他们不是来自名门就是出身世家,个个背景深厚,地位不凡.平日想见一个都不容易,这次机会难得,才能借着天海阁寿宴聚到一起.

All of them are either from an Aristocratic family or a famous sect.

They come from a strong background and all bore special status.

It is difficult to be able to meet each other on a normal basis.

Taking the chance of this celebration, they then got to gather together.

船头公子少侠们凑到一处,船舱里小姐姑娘们围着说话.

The guys all gathered onto the bow and the misses gathered in the cabin for small talks.

说着说着,话题难免扯到这次寿宴的真实目的上.

Of course, they would reach the topic on the real motive of the celebration.

“说起来,玉鼎峰贺寿的使者还没到吧?” “Oh, the Ancient Jade Summit’s representative have yet to arrive, am I right?”   “是呢,”另一位靠在窗边,懒洋洋地回,”也不知道来的是谁.” “Yeah,” The other miss that’s leaning onto the window ledge replied lazily.

“I wonder who would it be.”   先前那位掩唇一笑,促狭地道:”还能是谁?必然是那位白玉无瑕凌姑娘喽!” The other party giggle, before replying.

“Who would it be other than the flawless white jade, Miss Ling!”   听到这句话,不少人露出会心的微笑.

Hearing this, the group burst out into laughter.

玉鼎峰和天海阁正在议亲这回事,早就传得影影绰绰的,没有人尽皆知,也差不多了.

The news about the arranged marriage between the Ancient Jade Summit has already been everywhere, almost everyone in the world is aware.

“真是稀奇啊,我还当凌姑娘会成为玉鼎峰下任掌门呢,没想到…”未竟之语,含义丰富.

“Well, it’s indeed surprising.

I thought that Miss Ling would be the next sect leader, but….” She did not end of her sentence, leaving many words that contain ample meaning unsaid.

要说陆明舒在哪里名声好过凌无瑕,那肯定是在这些小姐中间.

To who is Lu Mingshu more likeable than Ling Wuxia?

It would no doubt be these misses.

又不是银子,谁能人见人爱?凌无瑕也不例外.外头那些公子们谈起她一脸向往,在这群小姐们中间,就不是这么回事了.

Ling Wuxia is not money, why would everyone love her?

The gentlemen outside are full of admiration when they speak about Ling Wuxia, but it is the misses who is talking about her, thus it is a different situation.

她们个个都是天之骄子人中龙凤,谁愿意一直被人拿来比较?还总是比输!凌无瑕成名早,在场的姑娘们几乎都在她的阴影里长大,但凡哪里做得不好,就会被人说不如凌无瑕,久而久之,不讨厌她都难.

Which of them is not the elites among them?

And which of them is willing to be continuously taken in comparison to someone?

And always on the losing end!

Ling Wuxia has gained fame since her early days, and all these misses grew up under the pressure of being compared to her.

Any mistake made, and they would be “praised” with comments, saying that they are nowhere near Ling Wuxia.

As time pass, the more they hated her.

相比起来,陆明舒那个”暴发户”容易接受多了.出身不够光彩,经历更是尴尬,对着她,随便就能找到优越感.而不像凌无瑕,无可挑剔,反而更加讨人厌.

In comparison to Ling Wuxia, Lu Mingshu that “aggressive girl” is more palatable to them.

She has an ordinary background and awkward biography.

They could find the traits of theirs that they surpass Lu Mingshu easily.

Unlike Ling Wuxia, who is always flawless, making them hate her.

“谁说不是?凌姑娘从来都不屑跟我们比的,现在再看,也没比我们好到哪里去吧?要我说,比薛姐姐差远了!薛家已经定了薛姐姐为家主继承人,将来就是一家之长,至于凌姑娘嘛,以后大概要叫寇夫人了吧?呵呵…” “Look, Miss Ling never view us as her opponent.

Now, she’s nowhere better than us!

Sister Xue is leading a better life than her!

The Xue family has officially stated that sister Xue would be their legal heir, and in the future, Sister Xue would be able to take the whole Xue family in her hands!

As for Miss Ling, she would only be madame Kou in the future…”   舱中响起一片低笑声.

Laughter rang through the cabin.

有人觉得快意,也有人感到不爽:”我看未必.玉鼎峰倒是想促成这桩婚事,可是看天海阁的态度,似乎还没决定.毕竟寇师兄是天海阁首席弟子,将来极有可能入主镇海楼,哪能随随便便定下亲事?” Some were delighted to see this happening, while some were not.

“I don’t think so.

The Ancient Jade summit may want this arranged marriage, but the Heavenly Sea Pavillion seems undecided.

Senior brother Kou is the best disciple of the Heavenly Sea Pavillion after all, and there is a high chance that he would be able to take charge of the Calming Sea House, why would they let him marry anyone?”   如同凌无瑕在男弟子心中的女神地位,寇威也是姑娘们心中的男神.与他并称的魏春秋,性子相对孤僻,相貌也不如他英俊.

Similarly to who Ling Wuxia is the male disciple’s goddess, Kou Wei is the prince charming of the female disciples.

Wei Chunqiu may be as good as him, but he is way quieter and not as handsome.

这桩婚事一传出来,在场的姑娘们就有不少深受打击的.男神不属于自己是一回事,属于别人就是另一回事了.这让她们对凌无瑕的厌恶又多了一个理由.

God knows how many girl’s hearts has shattered after the news of arranged marriage broke out?

It’s okay if the prince charming does not belong to you, but it isn’t okay if it belongs to another girl!

马上有人应和:”对呀!凌姑娘的亲事可不算顺利,她之前那桩,好像最后不了了之了?” “Yes!” Another person added on.

“Miss Ling’s marriage has never been successful.

Look at the previous one…”   “哪桩?”有反应慢的,一时没想起来.

“Previous?” Some that have a slower reaction is at a loss.

舱内又发出一阵笑声,之前那位姑娘道:”还能是哪桩?七真观那桩呀!说起来,那位的身份比寇师兄只高不低,奈何她嫌弃人家残疾又草包,结果…” Laughter rang through the cabin.

The Miss who brought up the topic answered.

“Which could it be?

The Seventh truth platform’s one!

He’s not any worst that senior brother Kou and even has a higher status than him!

But she once couldn’t see anything in him.

Look now….”   问话的人恍然大悟:”姐姐说的是廉贞公子呀!” “Ah, elder sister meant by Gentleman Lianzhen?” A person who asked the question finally got it.

“不然呢?玉鼎峰大概肠子都悔青了吧?以前看不上人家,现在廉贞公子不但腿疾好了,还顺利进入出神,她再想攀人家就不容易了.” “Duh.

The Ancient Jade Summit must be in deep regret now.

They see nothing in him back then.

Now, not only gentleman Lianzhen has recovered, he has broken through too.

It would not be easy for her to get his attention anymore.”   “可不是?要是当初没拒绝,凌姑娘又何必千里迢迢来攀寇师兄?” “I know right.

If she has not rejected it, why would Miss Ling have the need to come all the way here to visit senior brother Kou?”   姑娘们齐声笑了起来.她们说得投机,舱内气氛热烈,从当初王妃选亲,说到麒麟会,还意犹未尽.

The Misses all broke out into laughter.

It’s a lively atmosphere in the cabin, and the memory of the previous Qilin festival was still fresh in their minds.

“…真想看看凌姑娘这会儿见到廉贞公子会是什么样的表情.呵呵,当初嫌弃人家,现在该被人嫌弃了吧?” “…I really wish to see how Miss Ling would face gentleman Lianzhen later on.

Hehe.

She deems that his not good enough for her previously, now it should be the other way round!”   众小姐露出会意的微笑,恨不得亲眼一见,那个总以为自己是天下女子楷模的凌无瑕也有今天?

All of them laughed, hoping to witness the scene.

~The self-proclaimed role-model of all girls would be in this situation too, huh?”   说得正热闹,外头接送客人的海船过来了,一路被迎进前岛码头,那规格,明显比她们来时高多了.

Just then, the guest boat passed them, going into the dock.

It’s way grander than it was used to welcome them.

有人认识荆长老,说道:”咦,那是谁家来了?荆长老都亲自出迎了.” One of them could recognize elder Jing.

“Who is here?

Elder Jing has even gone to welcome him or her himself.” She blurted out.

众人在心里过了一遍,马上有了人选,暗暗提起了心.难道是凌无瑕?虽说她辈分不高,但眼下正和天海阁议亲,对她重视一些也是常理.

The group did a quick guess and eyed the boat angrily.

~Could it be Ling Wuxia?

She may not have a high status, but considering the arranged marriage, it’s common sense that they would treat her better.~  真是讨厌!这个家伙,存在的意义就是让她们不快吗?

~She’s such an unpleasant person!

Is she alive just to make everyone unhappy?~  不多时,果然看到凌无瑕标志性的白衣出现在迎客的海船上,船头的公子们都骚动了.

Indeed, the gentlemen at the bow are all acting like fangirls upon seeing Ling Wuxia on the guest boat.

可惜舱内气氛沉闷,姑娘们一言不发.

On the other hand, the cabin is oddly quiet.

正沉默着,忽有人叫道:”那又是谁?” “Who is that?” Somebody shouted.

Breaking the silence.

海船上又出现一位年轻公子,相貌风采,见之难忘.

There’s a gentleman on the boat.

He’s so handsome that one could not forget about him upon seeing him.

有眼尖的看到对方身上的服饰,低呼:”七真观?难道是…廉贞公子?” An observant one saw the accessories on him and yelled.

“Seventh truth platform!

It is, Gentleman Lianzhen?”   没想到之前还在臆想中的情形,就这么出现在众人面前,姑娘们面面相觑.

None of them would expect that the scene they have been waiting for will unfold right in front of them.

The group stared at each other silently.

这是凌无瑕和廉贞公子正好碰到一处,同时来了天海阁?

~So Ling wuxia and Gentleman Lianzhen arrived at the heavenly Sea Pavillion at the same time?

~  他们怎么相处得很和谐的样子?不应该相看两相厌吗?也对,一个代表玉鼎峰,一个代表七真观,再讨厌也得维持表面的礼貌.

~But why do they look like they are best friends?

Don’t they hate each other?

Ah right.

The representative of both of their sects.

They should maintain peace and manner no matter how much they hate each other.~  哎呀,这时候真希望来个人打破这虚假的和平.哦,对了,要是九瑶宫那位陆姑娘在就好了,一定会是一幕好戏!

~Aiya!

If there is someone who came to tear off their mask, it would be fun.

Oh yeah, If Miss Lu from the Nine Jade Palace is here, then it would be a great show!~  念头刚起,又有人注意到天边掠来一道剑光,眨眼到了面前,落在前岛上.

Just as they have thought about it, a sword light could be seen flashing though the sky, landing on the dock.

“咦,那是…” “Eh, that’s….”   有去过麒麟会的定睛一看,惊了:”陆明舒,那是九瑶宫的陆明舒!” One of them who has attended the Qilin festival shrieked.

“It’s Lu Mingshu!

The Nine Jade Palace one!”   今天什么日子啊?处处心想事成,刚刚还想让凌无瑕见见廉贞公子,他们俩就同时出现了.现下想让陆明舒出来踩个脸,陆明舒也出现了.

~What on earth?

All their wishes have just come true!

They hoped to see Ling Wuxia meeting Gentleman Lianzhen, and yet they appeared together.

When they hoped for Lu Mingshu to juice up the scene, she arrived too!~  一时间,船舱内不管讨不讨厌凌无瑕的,都饶有兴趣地看向前岛.

Currently, the whole boat’s eyes in on the dock, nonetheless how they felt about Ling Wuxia.

上届麒麟会的事,谁不知道?这三个人会面,会是怎样一出好戏呢?

Who is unaware of what happened the Previous Qilin festival?

What would happen that now the three of them met each other?

岛上,陆明舒一落下来,便想往回走,不料被人叫住了:”明舒!” As soon as Lu Mingshu landed, she wanted to make her way back immediately.

Unfortunately, someone called out to her.

她一怔,回头看到谢廉贞兴冲冲地向自己走来.

She was in a shock and look back, to see Xie Lianzhen walking towards her excitedly.

“真是巧,我一到你就出现了.”谢廉贞笑眯眯,”可见我们就是有缘分.” “Such fate.

I saw you once I arrived.” Xie Lianzhen said with all smiles.

“We are indeed fated.”  “…”陆明舒问,”你怎么在这?” “….Why are you even here?” Lu Mingshu asked.

[combined.]   “你在这,我当然在了.”谢廉贞笑出一脸桃花.

“Since you are here, of course I must be too!” He said, looking like he’s on cloud nine.
