450: Coming soon 450: Coming soon Editor: Exodus Tales  寿宴还没举行,天海阁各处倒是炸了.

Even before the celebration took place, the Heavenly Sea Pavillion is already in a mess.

“她什么意思,啊?这什么意思?”飞泉岛上,一名青年满脸忿忿,急步走动,”拿个新秀榜第一,就以为自己古夏无敌了?别说她未必就是出神境最强,就当她是,化物境前辈呢?她当化物境前辈是什么?” “What does she means?

Ah?

What does she mean?” On the Fountain Fei island, a teenager paced up and down.

“Do she thinks that being the first in the Qilin’s festival new ranking symbolises being the best in Ancient China?

Not only she might not be the best in the spirit realm but does she remembers the existence of the assimilation realm elder?

What does she think they are?”   小厅中,另外坐了一男一女,男的托着茶杯,垂目不语,女的理着自己的绣花手帕,百无聊赖的样子.

In the courtyard, there’s another guy and girl.

The guy stared at the teacup he’s holding, remaining quiet.

While the girl continued her sowing lazily.

青年一回头,看到他们俩的样子,头发都要竖起来了.

When the teen turned back and saw what they were doing, he nearly bit their heads off.

“你们俩有没有在听?!” “Are you two even listening?!”   这对男女闲闲抬头,女的道:”有啊!花师弟你说完了吗?” Both of them looked up lazily.

“Yeah, are you done, Junior brother Hua?” The girl asked.

“你们——”青年一口气没上来,脸都憋红了.好不容易把这口气吞回去,对另一名男子道:”方师兄,你说!” “You guys—” The teen was so angry that he turned red.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down before turning to the guy.

“Senior Brother Fang, you talk about it!”   在他的虎视眈眈下,这位方师兄搁了茶杯,双手往袖子里一拢,道:”你想说她很嚣张?嗯,听到了.” Under his glare, Senior brother Fang placed in cup down and put his hands together in his sleeves.

“You are trying to say that she’s arrogant, right?

Yeah, I’ve heard it.”   “然后呢?”花师弟追问,”你就不表示点什么?” “So?” Junior brother Hua pressed.

“Nothing else to say?”   “要表示什么?”方师兄懒懒道,”你又不是不知道我的性子,有事你只管找大师兄去.” “What should I say?” Senior brother Fang laid back lazily.

“Is not like you do not know me well.

Go find Elder Senior brother regarding this matter.”   “呵呵,呵呵,”花师弟回以两声冷笑,”找他有用?” “Hehe, hehe.” Junior brother Hua sneered in reply.

“As if it’s useful.”   女子叹了口气:”花师弟,你对寇师兄成见太深了.” The girl sighed.

“Junior brother Hua, you just have something against Senior brother Kou.”   花师弟忿忿一挥手:”杜师姐你说这个话,没意思!总之,我跟他是两路人!” Junior brother Hua waved angrily.

“Senior sister Du’s words are boring!

In conclusion, we are just two different types of person!”   方杜二人闻言,各自伸手揉了揉额头,暗叹一口气.

After hearing him, Senior brother Fang and Senior sister Du rubbed their temples and sighed.

“行啦,”方师兄说道,”你就直说,你想教训她一顿吧!” “Okay, okay.” Senior brother Fang said.

“Just be frank that you want to give her a lesson!”   “对!”花师弟一口应下,”难道我说的不对吗?她在天海阁,说那种话,你们咽得下这口气?” “Yes!” Junior brother Hua answered immediately.

“Am I wrong?

You are fine with the words she said in the Heavenly Sea Pavillion?”   当然…咽不下.可是,他们没那么冲动.

~Of Course…not.

But none of them are rash.

“花师弟,”杜师姐认真地道,”你想,连戴师姐都败在她手下,就算我们咽不下这口气,又怎么样呢?贸然去挑战,再败于她手,成全的是她的名声.” “Junior Brother Hua,” Senior sister Du looked at him seriously.

“Even Senior sister Dai has been defeated by her, what can we do even if we are unhappy?

Challenging her now will just make us her stepping stone.”   “那你们就不管了吗?”花师弟怒声道,”方师兄,不要忘了,你在十大弟子排名第二,要不是你不爱出风头,第一都是你的,戴师姐比你可差远了!” “So you are not going to do anything about this?” Junior brother Hua shout at Senior brother Fang.

“Senior brother Fang, do not forget.

You are ranked second.

If not that you dislike popularity, the first would be yours!

Senior sister Dai is lacking a lot compared to you!”   方师兄却摇了摇头:”你高看了,我未必就比寇师兄强.再说,戴师妹败得那么干脆利落,我完全没有把握.” Senior brother Fang shook his head.

“You have overestimated me.

I may not be stronger than Senior Brother Kou, and I am not confident, after seeing how badly junior sister Dai lose to her.”   “你一个不行,我们三个呢?” “If you can’t, could we three be able to do so?”   此言一出,杜师姐率先否决:”这不行,以三敌一,天海阁的名声还要不要了?” Senior sister Du immediately rejected his opinion upon hearing him.

“Nope.

Do we still want to keep Heavenly Sea Pavillion’s reputation if all three of us were to go against her together?”   花师弟却道:”谁说我们三个要同时上了?你们别忘了,我的秘技是什么…” “Who said we are going to do it in a three versus one way?

Did you forget what’s my secret stunt…” Junior Brother Hua retorted.

…

薛意回去后,越想越不对劲,又问许先生:”陆明舒到底想干什么?她这么直白地宣战,真是一个盟友也不想要了吗?” After Xue Yi and thought about it, something was still amiss.

She turned to Sir Xu.

“What do Lu Mingshu wants?

Challenging everyone openly?

Do she not want an Allie?”   在她看来,这做法简直蠢得无药可救.如果换成她是陆明舒,这时候来天海阁,定是不想让他们和玉鼎峰结盟.那就要分成两步走,一步,离间两派之间的信任,二步,拿出点东西,吊着他们.

In her eyes, Lu Mingshu is even worse than an idiot.

If she was Lu Mingshu, she would be trying her best to stop the arranged marriage between the Heavenly Sea Pavillion and the Ancient Jade Summit.

And there could be two ways she could take.

Break the trust between two parties or take something out to bribe them over.

可她呢?先是跟寇威翻脸,接着揍了戴静予.知不知道自己就在天海阁的地盘上?要是天海阁较真,不放她走,她的性命就交待了!她能胜过出神境,能胜过化物境吗?简直匪夷所思.

But what did she choose to do?

Quarrel with Kou Wei and injured Dai Jingyu.

~Do she know where she is?

The Heavenly Sea Pavillion’s area!

If the Heavenly Sea Pavillion decides to do something about this, she might have to pay it with her life!

She may be able to win over a spirit realm, but what about an assimilation realm?

What’s even in her brain?~   许先生道:”大小姐,你忘了,陆明舒是个什么样的人吗?” “Elder Miss,” Sir Xu replied.

“Have you forgotten how Lu Mingshu is?”   薛意皱着眉头,没有说话.

Xue Yi furrowed her eyebrows and said nothing.

“她本来就是一个不按牌理出牌的人,当初在麒麟会,就是那么干的.人人都觉得她不自量力,结果偏叫她做成了.所以,这回做出这样的事,一点也不奇怪.” “She’s somebody who always does illogical things.

And that’s how she acted during the Qilin festival too.

Everyone thought that she doesn’t know where she stands, but she has proved herself.

So it’s not surprising for her actions this time around.”   “但这事和当初不同.麒麟会不过争个名声,这事却涉及到古夏今后的格局,甚至三大派的生死存亡.” “But this is two different things!

The Qilin festival only affects her reputation, but this will affect the whole of Ancient China and even the survival of the top three sects!”   “不错.”许先生马上接下去,”所以,她要真的有事,七真观一定不会坐视不理.” “Yes.” Sir Xu continued immediately.

“So if something really takes place, the Seventh Truth Platform would not watch her die.”   薛意一默.

Xue Yi kept quiet.

许先生继续道:”依我所见,她极有可能是七真观放出来破局的人,用来试探天海阁的态度,打压他们的气焰,以便后续占到更多的优势.大小姐,恕属下直言,这是三大派之间的较量,陆明舒这么嚣张,定然会有人出头来打压她,只是这个人不会是我们.薛家太小了,经不起.” “From what I see, she might possibly be someone that the Seventh Truth Platform sents out to break the current situation, and to test how the Heavenly Sea Pavillion will react, pressure down on them and gain more advantages.

Elder Miss, I apologize for my words, but this is the competition between the top three sects.

There would surely be someone who would take down the arrogant Lu Mingshu, but it would not be us.

The Xue family is too small, is unable for us to tank this.” Sir Xu continued.

薛意马上道:”先生放心,我不会掺和进去的.” “Sir Xu may be at ease.

I would not do so.” Xue Yi replied immediately.

许先生笑着点点头:”属下自然相信大小姐.大小姐不妨看着,到了寿宴那天,好戏就会上场了.到时候,究竟是东风压倒西风,还是西风压倒东风,一切都有了答案.” Sir Xu smiled and nodded.

“Subordinate believes in Elder Miss.

Elder Miss, wait for the celebration, there would be an interesting show.

On that day, we would be able to tell if is the eastern wind that’s going to press down onto the western wind of the other way round.”   薛意缓缓点头:”先生说的是.” Xue Yi nodded.

“Sir is right.”   戴静予与陆明舒相斗之事,表面上就这么平平静静地过去了.

As of the fight between Dai Jingyu and Lu Mingshu seems to have ended on a peaceful note.

寇威代为致歉,天海阁的长辈们也没有出面,好像真的只是小辈之间的口角纷争似的.

With Kou Wei coming down to apologize personally and the Heavenly Sea Pavillion’s elders do not seem to be doing anything about it, it seems like it just a small argument between the youngsters.

其他人暗地里议论得热闹,但也不敢放到明面上——天海阁异常的沉默,总让人觉得,后面会有大招似的.只希望,自己别成为殃及的池鱼.

It’s a heated discussion in fact, but no one dared to say it out loud—the Heavenly Sea Pavillion is exceptionally quiet, making all feel that there might be a larger event coming up next.

~Hopefully I would not be dragged down the waters.~   时间一日一日过去,问海先生的寿宴,就这么到来了.

Time passed by fast, and soon, it’s Sir Wen Hai’s birthday celebration.

当日入夜,围绕镇海楼的海面上,搭起了连绵数里的木桥.

During night time, wooden bridges have been put up on the water bodies surrounding the Calming Sea House.

海中搭桥,本已奇特,何况一搭就是数里?远远看去,彩灯飘浮,璀璨连绵,仿佛天上星河落入海中,蔚为奇观.

It’s a rare sighting to see bridges being build on the sea, moreover, it takes up miles?

From far, the bright and colourful lanterns shone brightly in the dark, as if the milky way have fallen into the sea, it’s a rare sight.

众人啧啧称奇,有的较真去看,方知这些海桥,乃是由海中奇兽托着,浮在海面上.

The crowd enjoyed the scenery in awe, and some even took a closer look than realised that the bridges were actually being held up by water beast to make it look like it’s floating on water.

海兽托桥,倒不奇怪,难得的是,托得这样稳,仿佛真的踩在陆地上似的.人踏上去,足下叩着木桥,咚咚咚咚,别有意趣.

Having water beast to hold the bridge is nothing surprising, but what’s surprising is that it could be this stable, at is the bridges are built on the land.

When one step on it, they could hear hollow sounds, making it fun.

沿着木桥,还有海兽托着各色奇珍,顺着海水漂流.甚至中间那硕大的舞台,都是一只大龟驼着的.

Following the wooden bridge, they could see the rare water beast in different colours floating on the sea, following the flow of the sea.

Even the giant stage in the middle is held up by a gigantic turtle.

陆明舒顺着人流,在侍女的引路下,坐到安排好的位置上.

Lu Mingshu went with the crowd and with the servant girl guidance, she found her seat.

九瑶宫在诸多玄门中,顶多排在中流,因此她只得了一个不上不下的位置.

Among so many sects, the Nine Jade Palace is only considered a middle sect.

Thus she got a seat in the middle.

她倒没觉得怎样,反倒是元榕,嫌弃得不行:”天海阁也太小气了吧?这里离主座那么远,好意思安排给师姐您?他们是不是故意下脸啊?” She’s fine with it, but not Yuan Rong.

“The Heavenly Sea Pavillion is so petty!

This is so far from the stage, did they do it purposely?”   陆明舒却不废话,直接一坐.

Lu Mingshu said no more and plopped down onto the seat.

元榕问:”师姐,我们要不要反应下,争取个好一点的位置?这里看节目都不方便呢!” “Senior sister,” Yuan Rong called out.

“Should we say something and get a better seat?

We cannot even see the programmes properly here!”
