442: Not a love triangle, but a square.

Editor: Exodus Tales  陆明舒额头青筋抽了抽:”说人话!” Lu Mingshu felt her head ponding.

“Speak like how humans do!”   看她耐心告罄的样子,谢廉贞立马乖乖回答:”我来贺寿啊!” Seeing her holding in her anger, Xie Lianzhen answered truly immediately.

“I’m here for the birthday celebration!”   “我是说,为什么是你来?”陆明舒一字一句.她真没想到,会在这里碰到谢廉贞,不管怎么说,他也是七星君之一,一出动,就代表了七真观.天海阁和玉鼎峰的亲事还没摆上台面,他亲自来,太郑重了.

“I mean, why are you even here?” Lu Mingshu said clearly.

Never she would have expected to see Xie Lianzhen here.

He’s one of the star-lords too, and if he’s here, it shows that he represents the whole Seventh Truth Platform.

The arranged marriage between the Ancient Jade Summit and Heavenly Sea platform is no yet to be confirmed, yet Xie Lianzhen is here personally, which there is no need to.

谢廉贞只给了一句话:”王妃让我来的.” “The Queen made me.” Xie Lianzhen replied truthfully.

好吧…

~Fine…..~   赵长川过来,招呼一句:”这位是陆姑娘吧?在下赵长川,幸会幸会.” Zhao Zhangchuan walked over, following Xie Lianzhen.

“This must be Miss Lu, am I right?

I am Zhao Zhangchuan, it’s my honour to meet you.”   陆明舒回礼.

Lu Mingshu bowed.

没等她说话,谢廉贞抢先道:”赵长老,我与陆姑娘说一会儿话,不妨事吧?” But before she could do a simple greeting, Xie Lianzhen turned to Zhao Zhangchuan with all smiles.

“Elder Zhao, can I speak to Miss Lu for a moment?

It would not affect you guys, right?”   “不妨不妨,”荆长老在后头出现,笑吟吟地接过话,”两位自便.” “Of course not.” Elder Jing came up, smiling at him.

“Please take your time.”   谢廉贞似乎有些不好意思,对他抱歉地笑了笑:”两位长老不必在此耽搁,留个小童与我引路便可.若有什么事需要配合的,只管吩咐我这护法.” Xie Lianzhen nodded, looking at the both of them apologetically.

“Elder Zhao and Elder Jing, you may take your leave first.

I will just need a servant here to lead me along.

If there’s anything you will need, my guardian could help out.”   荆长老连连答应,当即吩咐赵长川去安排,又回身招呼郭长老和凌无瑕.

Elder Jing agreed in all smiles and called Zhao Zhangchuan to do the necessary arrangements before he went back to Ling Wuxia and Elder Guo.

看到陆明舒出现的瞬间,凌无瑕心一揪,不由想起七年前的经历.

Seeing Lu Mingshu, Ling Wuxia felt her heart sank, as the memories from seven years ago replayed itself.

凌姑娘这一生,可说是事事顺遂.出身好,资历好,长相好,无往不利.要说她最不顺遂的,大概就两件事了.第一件,便是今天不得不放下身段,到天海阁来求联盟,甚至有可能要赔上婚姻.第二件,则是当初在玉阳山被陆明舒坑得满脸血的事.

Ling Wuxia always has a smooth sailing life.

She’s born into a good family, talented and good-looking.

Life has always gone her way.

If she were to name the most unlucky things that have ever happened to her.

Firstly, is right now.

Ling Wuxia has no choice but to pled the Heaven Sea Platform to join forces with them, and even sacrificing her marriage.

Secondly.

It’s the embarrassment that Lu Mingshu had brought to her back at the Jasper Sun Mountain.

第一件是为了门派大局,这也罢了.第二件,却是活生生的耻辱!

The first event is for her sect, she could take it down.

But the second one is embarrassing her!

她凌无瑕是什么人?古夏同期三大弟子,就算是齐名的魏春秋和寇威,也不见得比她强.偏偏她在玉阳山被坑得大败亏输,更丢人的是,一开始是她想坑人家,结果被反坑!

Who is she?

She’s Ling Wuxia, one of the top three disciples of Ancient China that even Kou Wei and Wei Chunqiu who is tied with her may not be as strong as her.

Yet she was being tricked at the Jasper Sun Mountain which leads to her loss.

What’s even embarrassing is that she wanted to trick Lu Mingshu but she was the one that got tricked instead!

耻辱,就算这件事没人知道,也是她毕生的耻辱!

Embarrassment!

Even if nobody knows about this, it’s something in her life that she’s dying to forget!

陆明舒失踪的时候,她就疑心,这家伙没死.能坑了她凌无瑕的,怎么可能那么弱?

When Lu Mingshu went missing, she’s somehow sure that she’s not dead.

~If she could trick me, she would not be that simple!~   果然,她回来了,还一举出神.

And indeed.

She’s back, and now in the spirit realm.

这让凌无瑕的耻辱又刷了一层.她还以为,就算融合境被陆明舒坑过,出神境她肯定比不过自己.然而…

This made Ling Wuxia felt like hiding inside a hole.

She thought that after losing to Lu Mingshu when she was in the harmonization realm, she’ll be better than Lu Mingshu when she has broken through the spirit realm.

But……

就如同那些名门小姐讨厌凌无瑕一样,凌无瑕也讨厌让自己处处感到憋屈的陆明舒!

Just like how the Misses from other Sects and Aristocratic Family hates her, Ling Wuxia felt the same way towards Lu Mingshu.

她猜到陆明舒会来天海阁,事先预演了许多面对她的情形.但在看到陆明舒的这一刻,血气直往脑袋冲,差点没忍住.

It’s no surprise to Ling Wuxia that Lu Mingshu would be at the Heavenly Sea Pavillion, thus she had already prepared herself for it.

But after seeing Lu Mingshu, her blood rushed to her head and she nearly could not control herself.

还好,她及时克制住了,稳了稳心神,举步向那两人走过去.

Luckily, she did.

She managed to calm herself down and walk towards the duo.

上次就算了,这次她一定要把场子找回来!

~Let bygones be bygones.

Now, I’ll have you to know who’s the master!~  “陆姑娘,好久不见.”凌无瑕端出自己最完美的笑容,出声招呼.

“Miss Lu, it’s been long.” Ling Wuxia smiled sweety.

陆明舒闻声转头,看到她,态度平平地点了点头:”哦,原来是凌姑娘.” Lu Mingshu turned around to see who is calling for her.

Seeing that it was Ling Wuxia, she nodded.

“Oh, Miss Ling is here.”   仅仅只是一句话,凌无瑕差点又没端住.后面那句就算了,前面那个”哦”是怎么回事?见到她就这反应?好歹也是彼此难得一见的对手好吗?!

Just a sentence yet Ling Wuxia barely could hold herself back.

~What do you mean by “Oh”?

We were once competitors and we rarely meet!~   “…陆姑娘,多年不见,别来无恙?” “…How is Miss Lu now?

Doing all well?”   “有劳费心,无灾无病.”陆明舒淡淡回道.

“I’m great and healthy.

Thank you for your concern.”   凌无瑕刚想回话,却见她定睛往自己身上看.

Ling Wuxia wanted to respond, but she realised Lu Mingshu was staring at her.

她心中一喜.怎么样,怎么样,果然我让你认真了吧?快,放马过来!

She tried to not show her glee.

~So?

I’m indeed worth your look, right?

Come at me now than!~   在她的期盼中,陆明舒启口了:”凌姑娘,今天风这么大,你又是纱裙又是披帛的,不怕被绊倒吗?” Under her anticipation, Lu Mingshu continued.

“Miss Ling, it’s so windy today.

Aren’t you afraid that you might trip on your veil or scraft?”   ???

!!!

凌无瑕瞪大眼,差点没控制住急冲上来的火气.呸!什么叫被绊倒?她好歹也是个出神境好吗?怎么可能被自己的衣衫绊倒?再说,这么穿当然就是因为风大,白衣飘飘的特别仙呀!懂不懂懂不懂啊?

Ling Wuxia’s eyes widen in shock as she nearly could not hold herself back.

~What do you mean by trip?

I am a spirit realm after all, how is that possible?

It’s because it’s windy that’s why this dress is suitable!

Having the white coloured dress floating in the air is beautiful!

Do you even have a fashion sense?~   凌无瑕分辨不出陆明舒说这话到底是故意的,还是无心的.她大部分时候,就是这么面无表情的,说话不分场合不看时候.反正就没按套路走过!

Ling Wuxia could not tell if Lu Mingshu was genuinely worried for her, or she’s just being sarcastic.

She’s always like this.

Emotionless and most of the time, speaking whatever that’s on her brain without any filter.

“多谢陆姑娘关心,怎么会发生这种事呢?”凌无瑕一脸关心,”倒是你看着脸色不大好,莫非有事?” “Thank you Miss Lu for your concern, but I don’t think it would happen.

Look at you, are you alright, you seem tired.” [combined.] Ling Wuxia asked, looking worried.

“没什么.”陆明舒随口道,”刚刚跟人吵了一架而已.” “Nothing much.” Lu Mingshu shrugged, “I just fought with somebody.”   嗯?凌无瑕本来只是随便问问,没想到她的回答居然是实锤,顿时有了兴趣:”哦?是谁这么不知趣,惹陆姑娘生气?” ~Hmm?~ Ling Wuxia didn’t mean to ask about this, but who knows that Lu Mingshu would reply to her truthfully.

She perked up her ears and smiled.

“Oh?

Who is being such an annoyance to you?”   “还能是谁?不就是你正在…”陆明舒给了个眼神让她自己体会,”那位!” “Who else could it be?

Your…” Lu Mingshu gave her a look.

“That!”   “…”  什么叫嘴贱,凌无瑕算是知道了.但这事不怪她呀,如果换成旁人,她问这个问题,肯定会糊弄过去,哪会答得这么实在?

Now, Ling Wuxia finally understood what does the drop a clanger really means.

But she could not be blamed!

If it’s others, who would have not lied about it?

好嘛,之前与她议亲的那位,看到陆明舒就喜笑颜开地追过来,现在与她议亲的这位,刚刚跟她吵架了?总觉得这里头信息太多,没见听到的人都露出意味深长的表情了吗?

~Oh, so now, the one that previously has an arranged marriage with if now going after her happily, while the one she is having an arranged marriage now just fought with her?

Can’t Lu Mingshu see that those watching the show is now staring at them weirdly?~   “陆姑娘…” “Miss Lu…”   陆明舒截断她的话:”凌姑娘远道而来,这样拉着你说话实在不像样.姑娘且去休息吧,时间多得很,想必我们有的是机会慢慢叙旧.” “Miss Ling must have been tired after the trip, It is not a good idea to make you chat with me now.

Get some rest, Miss Ling, we can have a longer chat after this.”   “…”  说话间,那边又一艘小船到了,元榕从船上下来,一边往这边跑来,一边叫道:”陆师姐,师姐你别生气呀!” Just then, a small boat arrived on the island.

Yuan Rong rushed down the boat, running towards Lu Mingshu in a hurry.

“Senior sister Lu, Senior sister, please calm down!”   陆明舒面无表情,回身拽了她就走.

Lu Mingshu pulled her away emotionlessly.

“哎,明舒!”谢廉贞想追,幸好被谢长晖及时拉住了.

“Eh, Mingshu!” XieLianzhen wanted to go after her but was pulled back by Xie Lianzhen.

公子这是作甚啊!没见这么多双眼睛盯着吗?

~Are you an idiot?

Can’t you see the number of eyes staring at you?~   主角之一就这么跑了,这出戏当然看不下去了.

With that, the main character is gone, and there is nothing left to see.

但是,短短的一幕戏,几句话,其中的意味,足够众人翻来覆去地琢磨了.

It may be just a short scene, but it is enough to make the crowd ponder.

游船上,有位姑娘露出幸灾乐祸的表情:”看来凌姑娘这趟,说不定又会被截胡啊!呵呵!” A miss on the boat smiled happily.

“It seems like Miss Ling’s trip is not worth it!”   意思是,她也有今天!

~She would have a day like this, huh?~   “是呀!凌姑娘的心情大概不太好吧?我们最近还是不要去打扰她了.” “Yeah, Miss Ling must be feeling bad, right?

We should refrain from bothering her these days.”   “说的是…” “Yes…..”   有心人则深思.陆明舒与寇威翻脸了?这是不是代表着,天海阁没有别的路好走?要是这样,他们和玉鼎峰结盟的可能性很高呢!

However, there are other guesses too~Kou Wei and Lu Mingshu has fallen out?

Does that means that the Heavenly Sea Pavillion has no other choice but to join force with the Ancient Jade Summit.~   至于七真观,看廉贞公子的样子,与九瑶宫关系不同寻常,很难再有变数.

~As for the Seventh Truth platform, the Alioth star-lord seems to be close to the Nine Jade Palace, which is already a fact.~  唔,有意思.四个人,四角关系,正好可以看出四派之间的错综复杂…

~Interesting.

Four of them, four different sects.

Now let’s see how complicated they could get….~
