温掌院的主意很正,陆明舒来势汹汹,他又不清楚内情,先把这事拖着,等弄清楚里头有什么弯弯绕绕,再想个办法收拾不迟.

Courtyard leader Wen is smart.

Facing a Lu Mingshu who’s determined to sue Fu Mingxi yet he is unaware of the details, he decided to postpone it as long as he could, so as to understand the whole situation before he takes action.

说不准,掌门和夫人直接帮他收拾了,自己还省事了.

~And who knows maybe the sect leader and madame would help me to settle it before I need to do anything?~

可陆明舒决心先闹一场,怎么会任由他拖着?她勾唇一笑,道:”等?我怎么知道任由他们回了周家,这事会不会不了了之?”

But Lu Mingshu do not seem to buy this.

Determined to create a chaos, her face fell immediately and she increased her volume.

“Wait?” She shrieked.

“Wait for them to be sent back to the Zhou family and everything would be fine?”

这话非常不客气,只差明白地说,谁不知道你温掌院是周家的人,让你把他们送回周家,这事还能有结果?

This sentence is equivalent to just saying.

“Who in the world do not know that courtyard leader Wen you are part of the Zhous?

Sending them back is as if not doing anything!”

道理是这么个道理,可有些话,当面说出来,就撕人脸皮了.

It’s true and obvious.

However, it’s a well known fact to leave unsaid.

温掌院从没见过这样上来就撕的,一时间卡住了.片刻后,才恢复过来:”陆师侄这话怎么说的?我们精义院做事,有规章可循,哪能不了了之?”

Courtyard leader Wen had never met someone as rude as Lu Mingshu.

He got so angry that he was at a loss of words for a few moments.

Courtyard leader took in a deep breath and calm himself down before looking back at Lu Mingshu sternly.

“Junior niece Lu, please mind your words.

We, the quintencess courtyard is fair and justice.

We will take justice for things that we should.”

“是吗?可师侄被人害多了,心里怕呀!毕竟上次来精义院,可是被三堂会审了呢!”

“Oh is that so?

But junior niece is always being planned against, I’m afraid!

What’s more, I’m being sent for joint hearing too!”

“…”温掌院脸色有点不自然.她说的上次是哪次,他清楚得很.堂堂掌门,精义院掌院,那样去对付一个内息境小辈,着实有些欺负人了.他和周茵如不同,坐在这个位置上,还是要脸皮的.

“….” Courtyard leader Wen tried his best to keep his cool.

Of course he is aware of which situation Lu Mingshu is referring to.

A sect leader and courtyard leader bullying a junior at her inner breath realm is really unfair.

But he’s different from Zhou yinru, he cares about his reputation.

“陆师侄,上次也是有人提出告诉,精义院不过依例而行.”

“Junior niece Lu, you were sued against back then.

We are just carrying out our duties.”

陆明舒等的就是这句话:”既然审我的时候可以依例而行,为何我提出告诉,就要拖了?”温掌院刚要张口,立马被她截断,”他们二人,性命无忧,只要药师施些手法,便可醒来,并不影响对质,何需再等?”眯起眼,审视地看着他,”莫非温掌院要等什么人发指令不成?”

“Oh, so you can interrogate me immediately but not them?” Courtyard leader Wen opened his mouth to retort, but was cut off by Lu Mingshu.

“Relax, they would not die.

The doctor can make them wake up within sometime, so I don’t see the need to wait unless….” Lu Mingshu snicked and pointed at him.

“You’re being told to not to do the joint hearing them?”

就像温掌院之前说的,九瑶宫各院行事皆有规章可循,无需通禀掌门.因此,陆明舒要求直接办理,他这边开审,并没有违反规章的地方.

Like what courtyard leader Wen mentioned, the quintencess courtyard is fair and justice.

And there is a rule in the Nine Jaded Palace, stating that each courtyard could carry out the actions they should without informing the sect leader.

So there isn’t any reason for him to reject Lu Mingshu’s request.

话都被堵到这个份上了,温掌院要是还不直接开审,未免要落人口实了.

Courtyard leader have never thought that he would be put into this situation ever in his life.

~If I do not start with the joint hearing, I’m going to be a liar.~

他看了看药师,药师知趣,起身禀道:”回温掌院,付小姐身上伤口虽多,却都是轻伤,只是惊吓过度,才会昏迷.至于周长老,他的伤势颇重,不过,并无性命之忧.”

“Courtyard leader Wen, elder miss injuries are all minor injuries, however she have fainted due go shock.

And as for elder Zhou, he is seriously injured but will be able to survive through.”

这些陆明舒早就确认过了.这两人可以伤,但不可以丢命.他们并不是当初天门之争那个偷袭她的小弟子,可以随便杀了了事.

Lu Mingshu have did her homework before.

These two personals could be injured, but not killed.

It would bring her too much unwanted trouble.”

温掌院问:”能让他们醒过来吗?”

“Are you able to wake them up?”

“能.”

“Yes.”

温掌院略一思忖,道:”既然陆师侄如此要求,那就现场开审吧.来人,清理大堂.”

Courtyard leader Wen took in a deep breath and nodded.

“Since Junior niece Lu have requested, than let’s start the hearing.

Come here, Get the court cleaned up right now.”

琼玉宫内,周妙如刚刚送走几个人,一回头,就看到姚大娘匆匆而来.

“夫人!出事了!”

“Madame!

Something bad has happened!”

“什么事?”周妙如慢声应道,心中不以为然.神女祭迫在眉睫,其他事都算不上重要.

“Yes?” Zhou Miaoru did not even look up from her work.

Other than the Deity’s festival, nothing else is as important to her.

“是小姐,小姐她被陆,陆长老抓去了精义院,还受了伤,浑身都是血.”

“Elder miss, elder miss have been brought to the quinstence courtyard by elder Lu, and she is seriously injured!”

说起来,周妙如也有好几天没看到付明溪了,那丫头离山之前,说是心情不好,到九麓州散散心,她也就没放在心上.眼下突然听说这种事,周妙如怔了怔:”陆长老?你说的是碧溪谷那个?”

It’s been days since she saw Fu Mingxi.

A few days ago, Fu Mingxi told her that she’ll make a trip to the Jiulv [pinyin is jiulv] province to take a breather, so she did not pay much attention to it.

What she never expect was to receive this piece of news.

“Elder Lu?

The one from green jade valley?”

“是.”门派长老里,再没人姓陆了.

“Yes.” There is no other elder in the sect who have the surname of Lu.

“她把明溪抓去了精义院?”

“She brought Mingxi to the quintessence courtyard?”

“对.”

“Yeah.”

“明溪受了伤?”

“Why is Ming Xi injured?”

“是温掌院派人来通报的.”

“Courtyard leader Wen sent someone here to sent the message?”

“到底怎么回事?”

“What’s really going on?”

来报讯的人,听的是温掌院的命令,那时陆明舒还没提出告诉之事,因此姚大娘只知道这么多.

Courtyard leader’s Wen sent someone over to pass the message before Lu Mingshu could say anything, so that’s all stewardess Tao only knew.

说到这里,周家的耳报神急匆匆来了:”夫人!小姐出事了…”

“Madane!

I heard that miss is in trouble …” a shout could be heard from outside and soon, the Zhou family’s messenger could be seen dashing into the palace.

这位听了个全,把来龙去脉一说,周妙如的脸色一下子就沉了下来.

After hearing the story, Zhou Miaoru’s face fell as she felt her blood boil.

付明溪!几天没看住她,她就这么会惹祸了,跟自家那个不成器的妹妹简直一模一样!

~Fu Mingxi!

What the fuck is she doing?

Why do she only creates trouble like my useless younger sister.~

“走!去精义院.还有,通知掌门.”

“I’ll leave for the quintessence courtyard now.

Inform the sect leader about this.”

就算对这个女儿再失望,也不能让别人打了她的脸.

~No matter how much a disappointment she is, I’ll not let anyone get her.~

周妙如和付尚清一前一后赶至.

Zhou Miaoru and Fu Shangqing rushed over one after another.

他们两人到时,大堂已经收拾好了,周竟成身上盖了条薄巾,奄奄一息的样子.

When the both of them arrived, the courtyard have been tidied up, and Zhou Jingfang is being covered up with a white piece of cloth, as if he’s already dead.

付明溪被人带到内堂清理过了,这会儿已经清醒过来,缩在角落里,惊惧地看着陆明舒.

Fu Mingxi has already been taken away to clean up, and is crouching at the corner, trembling and looking at Lu Mingshu in fear.

温掌院自是坐在主位上,陆明舒就坐一旁,很闲适的模样.

Courtyard leader Wen sat in the middle while Lu Mingshu sat at the side, looking more than relax.

“明溪!”

“Ming Xi!”

看到父母来了,付明溪像是找到了救兵,叫了一声”娘”,就向周妙如扑过去,紧紧地抱着她,一副深受惊吓的模样.

Seeing her parents, Fu Mingxi immediately let out a cry while scrambled to them.

She held onto Zhou Miaoru tightly, as if she has received a great shock.

陆明舒看着她们母女情深,一脸淡漠,起身随便拱了拱手:”见过掌门,夫人.”也不等他们发话,又坐回去了.

Lu Mingshu paid no attention to the “warm” reunion between the pair of mother and daughter as she stood up to greet Zhou Miaoru and Fu Shangqing before sitting back down in no time, ecen before the both of them fod answer.

倒是温掌院礼数周全,见完了礼,还将主位让出来.

On the other hand, courtyard leader Wen even offered his seat to Fu Shangqing.

付尚清不肯坐,最终又搬来一张椅子,坐得比温掌院略高一些.

But Fu Shangqing refused and got a chair on his own, sitting right behind courtyard leader Wen.

陆明舒一脸事不关己,看着这出戏.

Lu Mingshu sat by the side as if nothing here is related to her, and she’s just here for show.

温掌院只好自己站出来,对他们二人拱手道:”掌门,夫人,方才陆师侄带着周师弟与付小姐前来精义院,向我提出告诉,说是他们两位趁她寻找地灵精时,暗算于她.在陆师侄的强烈要求下,小弟打算即时开堂,审理此事.你们以为呢?”

Courtyard leader Wen cleared his throat and bowed towards Zhoy Miaoru and Fu Shangqing, before explaining the whole situation.

“Dear Sect leader and madame.

A few moments ago, Junior niece Lu brought in junior brother Zhou and elder miss Fu to our

Quintessence courtyard and sued them for assasination while she went to hunt for earth spirit.

Under junior niece Lu’s strong demand, junior brother decide to carry out the investigation right now.

May I ask for the sect leader’s permission?”

付尚清道:”温掌院做事合情合理,那就审吧.”

“Courtyard leader Wen is fair and justice, I give you permission to carry out the investigation.” Fu Shangqing nodded.

温掌院点点头:”那小弟就放肆了.”

“Pardon me, sect leader.”

他先看向陆明舒:”陆师侄,你方才说付小姐和周长老暗算于你,现在当着掌门与夫人,还有诸弟子的面,请你将事情说清楚,也好判个是非.”

Courtyard leader Wen turn to Lu Mingshu first.

“Junior niece Lu, previously, you mentioned that elder Miss Fu and elder Zhou tried to assassinate you.

Now, please make things clear in front of the sect leader and madame and the disciples so we would be able to investigate things with justice and fairly.”

陆明舒道:”诸位都知道,我新近出神,须布置住所,便去知真院要了个牌符,去瑶西寻找地灵精.谁知,就在我找到地灵精,打算回程的时候,突然有一只箭猪冲出来.我随手将之打杀了,却被溅了一身鲜血.秘地的守卫珍兽见状,突然发狂…”

“Ladies and gentleman, I have just broken through the spirit realm thus I wanted to upgrade where I live, the green Jade valley so I went to the truth courtyard to get a earth spirit.

But out of a sudden, a minatured spiked pig dash out of no where and came for me.

I killed it in panick, but was stained with blood and the precious beast guarding the area witness it and….”

简略地把事情说了一遍,她道:”经过就是如此,此事过程清楚,主犯付明溪也承认了.”

“This is the summary, and the culprit, Fu Mingxi has already admit.”

她说得甚是详细,在外围观的弟子听完,议论纷纷.

The disciples at the hearing all starts to gossip upon hearing this.

“那只珍兽是化物境珍兽?这…这计也太毒了吧?这是要人的命啊!”

“An assimilation realm beast?This…..Does she want her dead?”

“对啊,你看周长老就知道了,他这就是闪避不及,落下的伤.要是不知内情,恐怕连全尸都没有.”

“Look at elder Zhou, he failed to escape thus he is now seriously injured.

If he is totally unaware of what’s going on, we would not even be able to see his dead body!”

外面窃窃私语,声声传入堂中,听得周妙如脸色微变.

Hearing all the whispers, Zhou Miaoru face fell immediately, but it isn’t obvious.
