Phoenix Destiny-Chapter 394 - You are not a spirit realm

听得这话,陆明舒简直想为周妙如叫好.付明溪能叫得动周竟成,无非那几个理由,一是周家收养的那些孤儿,向来都是当成死士训练,已经有了盲从的心理.比如周如影,被周茵如害了前程,还被周妙如当成杀人工具,都没想过逃.二是周竟成本身性子老实,估计他也摸不准这背后是不是周妙如的示意——别说付明溪干得出这事,周妙如也干得出,只是她若动手,计划必然更加周详.

Lu Mingshu has a strong urge to give Zhou Miaoru a standing ovation upon hearing what she had said.

~Why would not Fu Mingxi be able to control Zhou Jingfang?

Please, all orphans adopted are trained to be dogs of the Zhou’s, loyal and follow all given orders.

Look at Zhou Ruying, her future is being destroyed by Zhou Yinru yet she still follows all orders obediently and was turned into a weapon to kill.

And Zhou Jingfang is an honest guy, of course, he would follow whatever instruction is given by his master!

With his character, he would not know who was the mastermind but following orders would be safer.

Lastly, my dearest stepmother, even you would be able to do the same thing!

Just that it would be a way more detailed and better plan.~

无论哪个理由,都是周家乱象丛生之故.可周妙如一张嘴,就把周家的锅,说成了寻常意义上的不合理.

It’s all obvious facts, but Zhou Miaoru is so good with her words that she could turn unresonable reasons into reasonable ones, that everyone buys it.

“哦…”陆明舒拖长声音,”那依掌门夫人所言,这事真相应当是怎样呢?”

“Oh….” Lu Mingshu hummed.

“So what do madame thinks about the whole situation?”

周妙如长叹一声,缓声说道:”明舒,我知道你因你爹休妻之事记恨于我,这也没什么,人之常情.即便你不认,我总还是你继母,岂会与你一个孩子计较?然而明溪毕竟是你妹妹,血脉相连,她不懂事闹着玩,你当姐姐的教训教训她也是应该,只是何必将这事闹上精义院?你如今有长老之名,她只是个融合境弟子,若真的坐实以下犯上,这可是要命的事啊!你…你就当看在她与你同父的份上,饶过她吧?”

Zhou Miaoru sighed and look down, as she’s hurt by Lu Mingshu’s words.

“Mingshu, I know how much you hate me due to your mother being divorced by your father.

I understand how you feel.

But no matter what, I’m still your stepmother even if you dislike it, and I’ll not take this to heart, as you are still a child after all.

However, Mingxi is your blood-related sister!

I have no comments if you give her a punishment.

She should be punished for being childish and it’s time for her to learn but I do not get why do you have to make the situation a grave one by bringing it up to the quintessence courtyard!

She’s just a harmonization realm disciple and the consequences she’ll receive would be heavier than you thought!

Mingshu, she’s just a child like you and do you really find the need to condemned her just for her childish intentions?

I hope you could think twice, my dear.”

陆明舒一脸淡然,看着周妙如演戏.

Lu Mingshu raised an eyebrow and watch Zhou Miaoru play victim.

不愧是传闻中温柔贤淑堪称贤妻楷模的掌门夫人,语气之诚恳,表情之哀婉,真是动之以情,晓之以理.明着是为付明溪求情,暗中却指陆明舒得理不饶人,借着一点小由头,便要把孩子之间的闹剧,闹成门派大事,借机要付明溪的命.

~Indeed the rumours were true.

A caring and gentle mother who treats everyone with her heart.~ Sincere, kind-hearted and a helpless mother who loves her child with all her heart, a perfect description for Zhou Miaoru in the eyes of others.

She seems to be pleading for Fu Mingxi, but trying to push the blame on Lu Mingshu, making the whole situation seems like child play and Lu Mingshu was just too petty.

如果自己不是当事人,看着周妙如这般作派,说不定真就信了.

If I wasn’t involved, I may believe in what Zhou Miaoru said.

Her acting is way too good.

陆明舒淡淡道:”原来是妹妹跟我闹着玩啊!见我欲去寻找地灵精,提前一步去秘地,在秘地埋伏数天,精心喂出一只服了特殊药物的箭猪,然后设计让我激怒镇守珍兽,令我成为一个化物境珍兽的目标.这些,都是闹着玩啊!”语气平淡,却说不出意味.

“So sister thinks that this is just a child play?” Lu Mingshu replied calmly.

“Planning to assassinate me while I was picking up earth spirits at the secret place by hiding there for a few days and feeding a miniature spiked pig drug to set up on me to get targeted by an assimilation realm beast!

So these are just childish child play, as you say?”

周妙如笑容不变:”你不是没事吗?她不过融合境,而你已经出神了,她再闹,也伤不到你,是不是?”

“Aren’t you all fine now?” Zhou Miaoru smiled at Lu Mingshu.

“She’s just a harmonization realm and what can she do to you?

You’re a spirit realm, all her games are useless on you, as you can see.”

陆明舒点点头:”她是伤不到我.”没等周妙如接话,立刻续道,”那是因为她眼界太低,以为我初入出神,这个简陋的陷阱,再加周竟成,就足够对付.”

“Of course they are all useless on me.” Lu Mingshu nodded.

Before Zhou Miaoru could continue, Lu Mingshu shook her head.

“It is just all because she’s dumb, for thinking that I am an easy spirit realm who could be taken down with just a simple trap and Zhou Jingfang.”

周妙如的表情变得有些微妙:”你是说…”

“Do you mean that….” Zhou Miaoru raised an eyebrow slightly, but it wasn’t obvious.

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

“倘若我真的只有初入出神的实力,那么现在躺在这里的,就是我了.”她点了点奄奄一息的周竟成,”掌门夫人还以为,这只是闹着玩吗?”

“If I was just a plain spirit realm, then this would be me.” She pointed to Zhou Jingfang who was lying down on the floor at his last gasp.

“Do madame still think that this is a child play?”

门外围观的弟子们,态度也变得微妙起来.周竟成堂堂一个出神境长老被伤成这样,是事实,但陆明舒言语中透露出来的自傲又让人觉得…

This attracts the attention of the crowd outside the courtyard.

Zhou Jingfang is indeed seriously injured, yet what Lu Mingshu arrogant speech make others…

“明舒,”周妙如心思电转,”我知道你讨厌你妹妹,但这事反过来说,你能完好无损站在这里,不就是因为她没有做绝吗?你丝毫不见伤势,她却浑身是伤,竟成师弟更是性命垂危.倘若那只珍兽真是冲着你去的,这岂不是很奇怪?想是她及时收手,才会反噬…”

“Mingshu,” Zhou Miaoru sighed.

“I know you hate your sister, but look, you are still fine.

How will that be so if Mingxi is out for your life?

In fact, she’s the one injured here, and junior brother Jingfang life is danger.

Isn’t it weird that the beast goes for you while you are the one who isn’t injured?

She would have realised things were going out of hand and…”

“哈!”她话没说完,就被陆明舒的一声耻笑打断了,她睨着周妙如,轻蔑道,”我第一次见到有人把成事不足败事有余说得这么清新脱俗.”

“Hah!” Lu Mingshu snickered and shook her head.

She stood up and smiled sweetly at her stepmother.

“This is indeed an eye-opener for me.

I have never seen anyone who could push the blame away this fast.”

“你…”饶是周妙如表面功夫修炼得炉火纯青,听到这句话,不免为之色变.

“You…..” No matter how good at hiding her expression, Zhou Miaoru’s face fell immediately.

没等她说什么,紧接着陆明舒又是一句:”付明溪做的事会造成多严重的后果,想来掌门夫人不会明白,毕竟您只有融合境,怎么能明白出神境的真实情况呢?”

“But I do not blame you for it, madame.

I guess that how heavy the consequences would be for Fu Mingxi’s action is something that you can’t tell.

Since you’re just a harmonization realm.”

“…”周妙如从来没有受过这样的耻辱,这明摆着是说,你不过是个融合境,没资格在这里叽叽歪歪.资质不好,是周妙如心里最大的痛,如果她资质够好,何至于今日只能当个掌门夫人?何至于二十年来辛苦支撑?都说打人别打脸,偏偏这个小贱种,就喜欢往人痛处踩!

“…” Zhou Miaoru have never been criticized that hard before.

Who wouldn’t know that what Lu Mingshu actually meant was that “A harmonization realm like you should just shut up.

Who gives you the right to make so much noise?” This is indeed Zhou Miaoru’s biggest regret.

If she had better body construction, why would she not want to break through and only be a sect leader’s wife?

Why would she tolerate for the past twenty years?

~I have tried my best to not things look very ugly for this bitch yet she’s doing this?~

“那依你所见,该当如何?”周妙如几乎是从齿缝间迸出这几个字,好不容易才端住了这张温柔贤淑的脸.

“If that’s the case, that what do Mingshu thinks that should be done?” Zhou Miaoru quickly regains her cool and stood at the side, as polite as ever.

“自然是让出神境来说话了.”陆明舒转头看向堂上的温掌院,”温掌院,你说是不是?”

“This should be heard from a spirit realm’s perspective.

“Lu Mingshu turned to courtyard leader Wen.

“Courtyard leader Wen, how do you think about this?”

“陆师侄说的也有道理.”温掌院略一思忖,张口道,”付小姐所做之事,听起来确实严重,不过…”

“Junior niece Lu is not wrong.” Courtyard leader Wen answered after some time.

“What Miss Fu did sounds grave, however…”

陆明舒又抬手了,她道:”温掌院身为主判,再来做辅证不好吧?至于掌门,与我们双方都有纠葛,理应避嫌.”

Lu Mingshu shook her head and smiled thinly.

“As a judge, I think it’s unfair if I let courtyard leader speak up for me.

And as for the sect leader, I suggest that he keep quiet since in order to avoid rumours and so, being that he has bad blood with me.”

温掌院目光闪了闪:”那依陆师侄所言,需要另外找证人了?”

“So do Junior niece Lu thinks that we should look for another witness?”

“不错.”她淡声道,”我九瑶宫出神境,也有那么二十来个,除掉出门的,有事的,应该有那么三五个愿意来做辅证吧?”

“Right.” Lu Mingshu sat back to her seat.

“The sect is not small, and we have more than twenty elders.

Leaving out those who aren’t around or busy with their matters, I bet there is still enough left to give this a say.”

温掌院心中一动,暗想,到底是年纪小,太过轻狂了,她以为同是出神境,那些人就会为她作证吗?既然这是她亲口说的话,那就顺了她的意,正好也让她无话可说.

Courtyard leader Wen stared at Lu Mingshu weirdly.

~What on earth does this girl thinks she’s doing?

What’s so mighty about being a spirit realm?

Who would stand up for her?

But whatever, since this is what she wants, then let her get a taste of her own medicine.~

然而,没等温掌院发话,就听外面传来声音:”陆师侄说的是,居然有弟子以下犯上,暗算本门出神境,若不严肃处理,日后九瑶宫还有规矩法度吗?”

Before courtyard leader Wen could give permission, a voice rang across the courtyard.

“What junior niece Lu means is that we should settle this matter well as to keep our rules in place, am I right?”

一听这声音,温掌院就觉得不妙,周妙如的脸色亦是一变.

Zhou Miaoru and Courtyard leader Wen’s face fell immediately upon hearing this familiar voice.

众人朝门口看着,就见众弟子如潮水分开,几名出神境长老,踏进大堂来.

The crowd outside could be seen giving way to a few people.

为首之人,正是宇文师!

And the first person to step inside the courtyard is no other than Yu Wen Shi!

这丫头,居然这么快就跟宇文师勾结到一块了?还有这几人,又是怎么回事?下院掌院张鲲,这倒罢了,他也是升阳一脉的.可还有金门一脉,太府一脉…

This girl, that’s fast?

And wait, who are the others along with him?

The lower house courtyard leader Zhang Kun, and who else?

The line of golden door, line or Taifu…What on earth?
