Phoenix Destiny-Chapter 444 - Listen to me

听着隔壁传来的声音,正在被陆明舒按着做题的元榕分心了:”师姐,隔壁怎么这么吵?”

Hearing the commotion, Yuan Rong who is doing math practices given by Lu Mingshu was distracted.

“Senior sister, why is it so noisy?”

正在翻看一本书的陆明舒淡淡答道:”就算天海阁和玉鼎峰顺利结亲,七真观仍然能稳占上风,你说他们想不想攀上廉贞星君?”

Lu Mingshu didn’t even look up from the book she’s reading.

“Even if Ling Wuxia and Kou Wei’s marriage is successful, they can try their luck with the Alioth Star-lord?”

元榕歪头想了想:”是因为秘法?那为什么没人上门来拜访我们呢?”

Yuan Rong pouted, deep in thought.

“Is it because of the Secret Techniques?

Then why is nobody visiting us?”

陆明舒扬了扬嘴角,低笑一声:”他们不敢啊!”

Lu Mingshu looked at her and chuckled.

“Because they dare not!”

元榕眨眨眼:”为什么不敢?我们又不吃人.”

“Why not?” Yuan Rong blinked her eyes.

“We won’t eat them up anyways.”

“不,”陆明舒瞟了她一眼,”不吃人的是你,我会吃人.”

“No.” Lu Mingshu shot a glance at her.

“You wouldn’t, but I would.”

“啊?”元榕被吓住了.一时没明白她这是字面上的意思,还是比喻.

“Ah?” Yuan Rong jumped out of her skin.

She is unsure if Lu Mingshu means what she said literally or it’s just a metaphor.

陆明舒懒得与她讲透,继续翻看书本,口中说道:”还不继续做题?今天没做满一百道,就不用吃饭了.”

Lu Mingshu turned back to her book.

Not wanting to explain it to Yuan Rong, she pointed at the questions that Yuan Rong was attempting.

“If you are not going to continue until it reaches a hundred question, then you will not get to eat today.”

“…哦.”元榕哭丧着脸.

“…..Oh.” Yuan Rong pouted.

她从小就精于算术,连太师祖都夸她.可遇到陆师姐,她的信心被打击得半点不剩了.也不知道这些题哪来的,字符奇奇怪怪,弄得她头昏脑胀.每次顺利解完题,还没得意一秒,就会被陆师姐扔出来的新题打败.她也问过,学算术有什么用,陆师姐只说,日后她自然会知晓.

She has always been good in math, even her martial grandmother always praised her about it.

But after meeting Senior sister Lu, she does not have any confidence left.

~Where did senior sister get all these questions?

These symbols look weird and give me a headache.

Every time after I have solved a question successfully, senior sister Lu would have a new question for me that I can’t do!~ Yuan Rong has once ask Lu Mingshu about this, but Lu Mingshu only told her she would know the benefits when she grows up.

元榕天生少根筋,弯弯绕绕的事她想不明白.不过她这人有个优点,那就是听话.以前太师祖说什么,她听什么,现在陆师姐说什么,她也听什么.

Yuan Rong is an innocent girl, [ it should be in a daze if tl directly but don’t make sense at the back] so she could understand if people beat around the bush.

However, her strength is that she follow instructions well.

In the past, she listens to Grand Elder Yuan Xi well, and now, she listens to Lu Mingshu well.

“嗨!”

“Hi!”

突然响起男人的声音,吓了元榕一跳.

A shout could be heard, causing Yuan Rong to jumped up.

她抬头四顾,却找不到人.奇怪,谁在说话?

She looked around to look for the person who’s making noise.

However, she couldn’t.

~That’s weird, who’s talking?~

却见陆师姐叹了口气,放下手中的书,看向墙头:”堂堂廉贞星君,这样扒在墙上,不好吧?”

Yuan Rong turned to Lu Mingshu, who sighed and turned to a wall.

“It’s not very nice for an Alioth Star-lord to stick onto the wall, I guess?”

元榕顺着她的视线看去,果然看到那位廉贞公子扒在墙头上,笑得一脸灿烂.

Yuan Rong followed where she looked and indeed, she saw the Alioth Star-Lord sticking onto the wall, smiling widely.

“…”这个廉贞公子真奇怪!

“….” ~This Alioth star lord is weird!~

这边说完,那边谢廉贞直接从墙头翻下来了,拍了拍蹭上的灰,从袖子里摸出把白玉扇,”唰”一下挥开.

Hearing Lu Mingshu, Xie Lianzhen immediately came out of the wall and dusted the dust of him.

He took out his white jade fan and fanned himself.

“我让你进了吗?”陆明舒问.

“Since when did I invited you in?” Lu Mingshu asked.

谢廉贞道:”你说扒墙上不好嘛!”

“You said that it’s not very nice for me to stick onto the wall!”

陆明舒不想和他争,盯着他的扇子看了几眼.

Lu Mingshu couldn’t be bothered to bicker with him, but the fan Xie Lianzhen had caught her attention.

谢廉贞当即凑上去:”好看吧?是不是特别衬我?有没有觉得帅呆了?”

Realising that she was staring at it, Xie Lianzhen leaned forward.

“Is it nice?

Suits me right?

I’m very handsome with it, right?”

“…”她问,”访客那么多,你不回去?”

“…There are so many visitors, aren’t you going to go back?” Lu Mingshu asked.

[combined.]

谢廉贞满不在乎挥了挥扇子:”我是廉贞星君,又不是知客,留长晖见人,已经很客气了.”

Xie Lianzhen shrugged and fan himself.

“I’m the Alioth star-lord, they are not people I know anyway.

It’s already very polite to leave Zhanghui there.”

“呵呵!”真会摆架子.

“Hehe!”

不过也有道理.七真观的宗主,岂是想见就能见的?就像天海阁的十大岛主,有谁亲自出来迎客了吗?犯不着.

But it makes sense.

How could anyone meet the Seventh Truth Platform’s clan leader as they wish?

Just like the top ten islands master in Heavenly Sea Pavillion.

They are not out to greet the guest too.

There’s no need for them to take such trouble.

东拉西扯了一番,谢廉贞终于忍不住说到正题:”你去见寇威了?”

After a few more words, Xie Lianzhen finally spoke his mind.

“You’ve met Kou Wei?”

“嗯.”陆明舒继续低头看书.

“Hmm.” Lu Mingshu did not even look up from her book.

“跟他吵架了?”

“You argued with him?”

“嗯.”

“Yeah.”

“你们为什么会吵架?”

“Why though?”

陆明舒抬起头,见他虎视眈眈的样子:”这个没必要告诉你吧?”

Lu Mingshu looked up, meeting his eyes, which were staring at her intensely.

“I don’t see the need to tell you.”

谢廉贞立马堆出笑来:”我只是随便问问,好奇嘛!”

Xie Lianzhen immediately plastered a smile of his face.

“I’m just curious!”

“哦.”

“Oh.”

过了一会儿,他又问:”你跟寇威交情很好?”

After some time, he continued.

“You are close to Kou Wei?”

“一般.”

“Normal friends.”

“麒麟会的时候,你常跟他在一起,对吧?”

“You hang out with him a lot during the Qilin festival, is that so?”

“嗯.”

“Yes.”

“他找你说什么了?”

“Why did he look for you?”

得,话题又绕回来了.

Back to the same topic again.

陆明舒叹了口气,放弃继续看书.

Lu Mingshu sighed and put down her book.

转头一看,元榕正瞪着眼睛看他们,便起身:”跟我进来.”

She looked over to Yuan Rong who’s staring at them weirdly.

“Come with me.”

“好咧!”谢廉贞欢快地跟进去了.

“Sure!” Xie Lianzhen said with all smiles.

关门,关窗,然后布下隔绝法阵,她问:”七真观到底想要一个什么结果?”

She locked the doors and windows.

Lu Mingshu even cast a spell so nobody can enter.

“What do the Seventh truth platform want from this?”

谢廉贞眨了眨眼.

Xie Lianzhen blinked.

陆明舒继续道:”是想独霸古夏,还是号令群雄?”

“Having Ancient China to yourselves or building a strong army?” Lu Mingshu asked seriously.

她问得认真,谢廉贞不得不正经起来:”有区别吗?”

Being questioned, Xie Lianzhen can’t help but be more serious.

“Is there a difference?”

“当然有.独霸古夏,把别人的腿打折了就行,你会飞你自然最厉害.号令群雄,那就给大家都安上翅膀,你是最强的那个,别人唯你马首是瞻.”

“Of course.

Having Ancient China to your self is like breaking everyone’s leg.

You’re the strongest because you are the only one who is left that could fly.

And Building a strong army is that you give everyone a pair of wings, but you remain the strongest and everyone would be under your lead.”

“真难选择.”他一转话题,”你跟寇威就谈了这个?不欢而散了?”

“It’s a difficult choice.

So that’s what you and Kou Wei were arguing about?” Xie Lianzhen Changed the topic.

[combined.]

陆明舒不答,点了点桌子,提醒他:”先回答我的问题.”

Lu Mingshu did not reply.

She tapped the table, getting him back .”Answer me first.”

谢廉贞摊了摊手,老实答道:”我不清楚.”

Xie Lianzhen shrugged.

“I am not sure.” He answered truthfully.

她不由拧起眉:”你是廉贞星君,你说你不清楚?”

Lu Mingshu furrowed her eyebrows.

“You are the Alioth star-lord yet you are unsure?”

“我又不关心.”他理直气壮,”别人是断腿还是会飞,跟我有关系吗?”

“It’s not my problem.” He said, bemused.

“How does it matters to me if others break their leg or know how to fly?”

陆明舒伸手揉了揉额头.她就知道,这个家伙能正常才怪!

Lu Mingshu rubbed her temples.

~I knew it, he’s abnormal!~

“那好,我问你,你能代表王妃做决定吗?”

“Then okay.

I have a question for you.

Can you represent the Queen in decision making?”

“当然.”他答得毫不犹豫.

“Of course.” He said without hesitation.

“那这件事能听我的吗?”

“So can you follow my instruction on this matter?”

“当然.”仍然答得毫不犹豫.

“Yes.” Xie Lianzhen replied without hesitation once again.

好了,没疑问了.她说:”今天开始,你别再黏着我了.”

~Good.~ “From today onwards, stop sticking to me.” Lu Mingshu said.

“这不行.”拒绝得仍然毫不犹豫.

“Impossible.” Xie Lianzhen replied.

Again, without hesitation.

陆明舒额头青筋跳了跳.

Lu Mingshu felt that her head is going to burst.

谢廉贞补充:”对寇威来说,你是比凌无瑕更好的选择,要是我一不留神,你就跟他跑了怎么办?”

“To Kou Wei, you are a better choice than Ling Wuxia.

What if you choose to go to him when I am not paying attention?” Xie Lianzhen explained for himself.

陆明舒狠瞪了他一眼.

Lu Mingshu glared at him.

谢廉贞这次不退缩了:”除非你向我保证.”

“Unless you promise me.” Xie Lianzhen said, not wanting to let in.

她怎么可能做这样的保证?这不就是变相承诺了吗?

~If I do, wouldn’t it be promising myself to him?~

“你别闹.”陆明舒尽力让自己心平气和,”这件事很重要,关系到古夏的未来,一不小心,就是血流成河.”

“Don’t be stupid.” Lu Mingshu tried to calm herself down.

“This is very important and concerns the future of Ancient China.

If we are not careful, things may turn bad, and we will have a blood river.”

“我没闹啊!”他说,”反正流成河也跟我没关系.”

“I am not being stupid!” Xie Lianzhen retorted.

“It’s not my problem even there’s a blood river too.”

陆明舒突然想让别人看看.说她心狠手辣,说她凶残狂暴?这位廉贞星君才是吧?

Lu Mingshu suddenly hope everyone could see this scene.

~I’m ruthless?

Cruel?

Look at this Alioth star-lord!”

“那你就滚吧.”她说,走过去打开门.

“Than please get lost.” She said and went to open the door.

谢廉贞怎么可能乖乖地滚?看出她生气了,亦步亦趋地跟在后头:”哎,我就随便说说,你别生气.你想怎么样,说了我照办还不行吗?”

But why would Xie Lianzhen do so?

Seeing that she’s angry, he hurried after her.

“Hey, I’m spouting nonsense, please do not be angry.

I’ll do whatever you say, alright?”

陆明舒冷冷看着他.

Lu Mingshu glared at him.

“我保证!”

“I promise!”

瞪了他半晌,门终于再次关上了.

After a few moments, Lu Mingshu shut the door again.

“现在开始,你得听我的.不许闹脾气,也不许胡乱吃醋.要是做不到…”

“Than from now on, you will have to listen to me.

No throwing tantrums or getting jealous.

Or…”

“我就乖乖滚了.”

“I’ll get lost.”

“最好说到做到!”

“You better do as promised!”
