Phoenix Destiny-Chapter 421 - Master and disciple

Xie Zhanghui is confident of Xie Lianzhen’s charm.

Back then, when the queen was picking a wife for him, many looked down on Xie Lianzhen.

But after the girls met him in real life, most were love stuck.

He was nothing but god’s creation!

何况,公子要对人上了心,绝对是千般体贴万般柔情,他就不信陆明舒扛得住!

When his master has fallen for someone, he’ll be extremely caring and show infinite fondness to her.

~I don’t believe Lu Mingshu would still feel nothing for the young master!~

谢长晖信心十足,这趟来九瑶宫,还以为,这位陆姑娘就算面上一本正经,心里肯定早就妥协了.

Xie Zhanghui was absolutely sure that this trip to the Nine Jade Palace symbolises that Miss Lu has already accepted him even though she says nothing.

但是…

But now…

就听她道:”你来晚了,所以可以回去了.”

“You’re too late, so you may leave now.”

声音不见一丝起伏.

Calm and as if it’s not her business.

谢长晖毫不遮掩地把惊讶放在了脸上.

Xie Lianzhen is unable to close his jaws.

这是…赶他们走?公子千辛万苦的,连年都不过,赶到西川来,才说了一句话,就被赶了?

~So she’s….asking us to leave?

So does that means that young master rushed all the way here, skipping his Chinese New Year just to hear you asking him to leave?~

谢长晖仿佛看到了公子碎成片片的”芳心”.

Xie Zhanghui swore that he could see Xie Lianzhen’s heart-shattering in pieces.

但,再一次出乎他的意料,公子毫不在意地撇撇嘴,嘟囔:”等了你这么久,就这么句话,可真是无情啊!”

However, once again to his surprise, his young master did not seem to mind at all.

Xie Lianzhen shrugged and whined.

“I waited for so long and all you did was to drive me home?

Cruel!”

“是啊,我就这么无情,你干嘛还巴巴地赶过来.”陆明舒说完,转头问惠娘,”师父呢?”

“Ya, that’s the best description for me.

I did not instruct you to hurry over too.” Lu Mingshu than turned to Hui Niang, ignoring Xie Lianzhen.

“Where’s master?”

惠娘的目光在他们两人之间来回,听到问话,忙道:”掌院在书房.”

Hui Niang glance back and forth the both of them.

Hearing Lu Mingshu, she pointed to the house.

“Courtyard leader is in the study room.”

陆明舒点点头,不再理会谢廉贞,直接进屋了.

Lu Mingshu nodded and walked into the house, acting as if Xie Lianzhen was invisible.

惠娘有些不好意思,对他道:”小姐累了,公子莫要在意.”

Hui Niang turns over to Xie Lianzhen and smiled apologetically.

“Miss is tired, I hope the alioth star-lord would not take her words to heart.

谢廉贞还是那样面带微笑:”我知道,无妨的.”说着,指了指刚刚烹好的茶,对谢长晖道,”给他们送过去,就说,这是药茶,对刘掌院的身体有好处.”

Xie Lianzhen plasters a smile on his face and shook his head.

“It’s okay, I understand.” He took a cup of tea and handed it to Xie Zhanghui.

“Send this over.

It’s herbal tea, good for courtyard leader Liu’s health.”

“是.”

“Noted.”

惠娘不禁心生好感,这位廉贞公子身份高贵,却对小姐百依百顺,真是难得.嗯,回头跟小姐说一说,这两个月他一直等在这里,还给掌院疗伤,半点架子也没有,对他的态度总该好点.

Watching Xie Zhanghui leave, Hui Niang smiled thinly.

~This alioth star-lord maybe a Nobel, but yet he’s treating miss like a princess.

Such a good man.

I should tell miss about how he waited for her right here for two months, and he also helped to take care of the courtyard leader’s health!

Miss should treat him better the next time.~

…

听到门外越来越近的脚步声,刘极真忍不住站了起来.

Liu Jizhen stood up immediately hearing footsteps approaching the study room.

“叩…”门刚刚被敲响,他就猛地打开了.

“Knock…” As soon as he heard a knock on his door, he pulled the door open immediately.

师徒俩就这样隔着门相对站着,彼此都带着激动,又有些局促.

The master and the disciple stood at the door, staring at each other.

Both filled with anxiousness and agitated.

正好这时,谢长晖的茶送到了,还说了一句:”公子说了,这是药茶,对刘掌院有好处,两位慢用.”

Just at the same time, Xie Zhanghui is here with the cup of tea.

“Young master say that this herbal tea is good for courtyard leader’s health.

Please enjoy.”

“多谢了.”谢长晖这一打岔,陆明舒恢复过来,上前扶住刘极真,”师父,您坐.”

“Thank you so much.” Xie Zhanghui brought Lu Mingshu back to reality and held Liu Jizhen to the seat.

”

“好,好.”刘极真由她扶着,发现自己说不出别的话,只一个劲地点头.

“Okay, Good.” Liu Jizhen nodded furiously.

He realised that he couldn’t bring himself to say anymore, except to nod his head.

师徒俩和往常一样坐下,陆明舒倒了药茶给他:”徒儿不在的这些日子,师父身体如何?”

Like any other day, the master and disciple both sat at the table.

Lu Mingshu poured the tea that Xie Zhanghui sent for Liu Jizhen.

“When I’m not around, how is master doing?”

刘极真笑道:”好多了.”这话出自真心.惠先生已经调养多日,谢廉贞过来,又带了七真观的秘药.这二十多年,他的身体从来没有这般好过.经脉滋润不少,偶尔甚至会有种错觉,也许还能恢复.

“Great.” Liu Jizhen smiled.

After Doctor Hui working on his health and with Xie Lianzhen bringing along with the unique medicines of the seventh truth platform, his health has improved drastically and his meridians felt healthy as if they were no longer paralysed.

“你没事吧?可遇到了危险?有没有受伤?”

“Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

How was the competition?”

“徒儿没事.”陆明舒答道,”而且剑术又有精进.”

“Disciple is fine.” Lu Mingshu answered.

“And my skills show improvement too.”

“真的?”

“Really?”

“真的.”

“Yeah.”

刘极真终于放下提着多日的心:”这就好,这就好.”

Finally, Liu Jizhen could put down the burden on his shoulder.

He held Lu Mingshu’s hand tightly in his.

“Great, that’s good.”

师徒俩的眼眶都有些湿了,半晌,陆明舒轻声道:”师父,对不起.”

Both of them looked at each other with teary eyes.

After some time, Lu Mingshu than spoke up.

“I’m sorry, master.”

“为何要说对不起?”

“Why do you say so?”

“我先前顶撞师父了,还一意孤行,让您担心.”

“I was rude previously and did not listen to you, making you worry for me so much.”

刘极真露出笑来:”该说对不起的是为师.明舒,你做到了,你用事实告诉我,师父错了,你才是对的.”

“I should be the one who is sorry.” Liu Jizhen smiled and shook his head.

“You proved to me with your actions that you’re right, Mingshu.”

陆明舒却没有喜色,低声道:”不,师父并没有错.如果我不是另有倚仗,明知道人家有陷阱,还这样冲过去,根本就是自己找死.可师父并不知道这些,阻止我才是对的.”

However, Lu Mingshu shook his head.

“No, the master was right.

If not that I have something to rely on, I’ll be dead by now.

Master was right for stopping me, you did not know that I have reliance and you were just worried for me.”

如果没有天轮,如果不是她已经转为剑修,神女祭这个陷阱,她这样跳进去就是找寻死路.谁能猜到,她的剑术已经超过了本界的概念呢?别说刘极真,就算万禹太上长老都猜不到.

If not for the heavenly wheel and if she has not changed her way of cultivating, she would be sure dead by now.

But who would have guessed that she would be so skilful, that her skills are the acme of this world?

Not only her master, but the grand elder also may not have guessed it too.

刘极真还是那样笑着:”不用替为师说话.你做出那样的决定,当然有你的理由,为师不应该不相信你的判断.何况,这些日子为师进行了反思,你说的一点也没错,失去修为太久,我已经失去了曾经的勇气.武者,就该迎难而上,贪图安逸,不应该是我们的信条.”

“It’s okay.” Liu Jizhen smiled.

“I should have trust your decision, and trust that you know what you are doing.

You are right, I have reflected and yes, I have indeed lost my courage from the past.

As martial artist, we should fight to improve and not just wished for peace.”

陆明舒松了口气.她已经拿到了修复经脉的药,怕就怕师父失去修为太久,已经无法拾回曾经的意气风发.若是如此,就算他恢复修为,将来也难有进步了.现下师父自己有此觉悟,一旦康复,就能很快调适好心情,重新成为那个武道天才.

Lu Mingshu heaved a sigh of relief.

She was still worried that her master would not believe that she would be able to restore his meridians and is unable to let her try.

Since he has shown a change in mindset, he would be willing to do so and once again become the talent he was.

“你也累了,早些去休息吧.周家的事,不用自己操劳,现在门派里有的是人为你办事,你要学会用人.你做出这么惊天动地的事,已是凶名远扬,这是好事也是坏事,自己心里要有数.”

“You must be tired.

Get a good rest.

There’s no need to worry about the Zhou’s.

There are people who will work for you willingly in the sect, so you must learn to make use of the help well.

Remember, your actions have already been well known, it’s both beneficial and detrimental too.

Always be aware of your decisions.”

陆明舒点头:”师父说的是.”心中更喜,师父说自己进行了反思,并不是敷衍,就连对待门派事务的态度,也有了转变.以前的师父,可不会教她这些.

Lu Mingshu nodded.

“Yes, master.” She’s unable to hide her happiness.

Her master never cares about what happens in the sect, neither teach her about taking control of situations.

But since he is doing so now, it shows that he has really reflected on Lu Mingshu’s words.

见她欲言又止,刘极真又问:”怎么,还有什么事吗?”

Seeing her still standing right there, Liu Jizhen raised an eyebrow.

“Yes?”

陆明舒看着他.过了年,师父就五十整了,眉宇和头发已经染上了浅浅的白霜,虽然样貌并不显老,却有了沧桑的意味.

Lu Mingshu stared at him.

After this year, her master would be fifty.

He may not look old, but his silver-white eyebrows and hair make like he’s ageing.

二十六岁废了修为,整整二十四年,他从绝望到颓废,从颓废到适应,曾经的武道天才,慢慢转变成今天这个和气的长者.这心理路程,实不足为外人道,非亲历者,无法体会他的痛苦与挣扎.

He lost his cultivation when he was twenty-six, and for the past twenty-four years, he has been living in despair, and slowly accepting the fact.

No other one is able to understand how tough the journey must be for him, which shapes him into whoever he is now, a kind elder.

而现在,他有希望回到曾经的世界里,也不知道能不能把持住.

He still wishes that he could become who he is once again, but what are the chances?

“师父,有件事,徒儿要告诉你.”

“Master, disciple has something important to tell you.”

刘极真含笑:”什么事非要急着现在说?”

“What is it so urgent that you have to say it now?” Liu Jizhen chuckled.

他并不觉得陆明舒会说出什么重要的事.对他来说,现在最重要的就是她的平安,看到她归来,他已经满足了.

In fact, he isn’t anticipating in what Lu Mingshu is going to tell him.

As long as she’s alive and kicking, nothing matters to him more than that.

然而,紧接着听到她说:”师父,徒儿找到了灵药,可以治您的经脉.”

“Master, disciple have found a medicine that could restore your meridians.” That’s the next thing Liu Jizhen heard.
