Phoenix Destiny-Chapter 445 - Refused, please come in

He would send his guardian out if it was someone who has relations with the Seventh Truth Platform.

If not, he would send assistance to do so.

But taking into account his status, it is perfectly fine.

Which of the ten island master in the Heavenly Sea Pavillion would meet a guest personally?

Xie Lianzhen is already being very polite to attend the celebration.

陆明舒则是最冷漠的一个.九瑶宫之事传遍古夏,她已是凶名远扬,没什么人敢上门拜访.偶有几个不怕死的想碰碰运气,结果吃了个闭门羹——根本没人搭理.

As for Lu Mingshu, she’s the most unbothered one.

The incident during the Deity’s festival is well-known to Ancient China, and not much dared to pay her a visit.

There are some daring ones who came to try their luck, but all they met was a door——There isn’t even anyone that greeted them.

于是,凌无瑕这边打得火热,谢廉贞架子摆得十足,陆明舒则冷冷清清.

Thus, Ling Wuxia’s guest house is the most lively one, Xie Lianzhen acted like how a Nobel would and Lu Mingshu’s guest house is the quietest.

但,利之所趋,再冷漠的态度,又怎么浇得熄那些火热的心?终于,有足够分量的人出马了.

However, due to the benefits associated with Lu Mingshu, it doesn’t matter how unbothered Lu Mingshu is, because the enthusiasm of others could not be put out easily.

Finally, they put up a group big enough to catch Lu Mingshu’s notice.

客院外,停了两拨人马.

There are two groups stopping outside the guest house currently.

初时,双方都以为对方拜访的是隔壁的谢廉贞,直到都在陆明舒门口停下,才意识到双方目标一致.

Initially, both parties thought that the other is here to pay Xie Lianzhen, who is right next to Lu Mingshu a visit.

But when both of them is standing outside Lu Mingshu’s door now, they then realised the other parties intention.

“戴姑娘?”其中一人不太确定地唤道.

“Miss Dai?” One of the party called out softly.

被叫破身份的,正是戴静予.她只带了两名侍女,站在陆明舒的客院外.

Miss Dai, indeed referred to Dai Jingyu.

She brought along two servant girls, and they are standing right outside Lu Mingshu’s guesthouse currently.

戴静予颇为尴尬,点了点头:”可是四象门的封长老?失礼了.”

Dai Jingyu looked slightly awkward and nodded.

“Elder Feng from the Four Elephant gate?”

四象门亦是东越的门派,论起规模,不比天海阁小,有弟子数千人,与东越王族关系密切.要说天海阁是东越第一派,那第二派不用考虑,就是四象门了.只不过,想跻身大派,不仅要规模大,还要高手多.四象门底蕴不够,不像天海阁人才辈出,而没有足够的高手,人数再多,也只能算是中等门派.

Four Elephant Gate is one of the sects in Dongyue.

It’s not smaller than the Heavenly Sea Pavillion, and houses more than a few thousands disciple.

They are close to the Royal family of Dongyue.

If they were to rank the sects, the Heavenly Sea Pavillion would be first and the Four Elephant Gate would come second.

However, in order to overtake one of the top three sects, not only they must have ample human resource, they must have talents.

Unlike the Heavenly Sea Pavillion, they do not have enough elites to be considered more than an average sect.

正因为如此,四象门对陆明舒手中的秘法十分迫切.要是有了这份秘法,正好解决了四象门最大的难题,说不准就能借着机会,一举成为大派,与三大派争锋.

Because of this, the Four Elephant Gate is dying to get Lu Mingshu’s secret technique.

With this secret technique, they would be able to solve Four Elephant Gate’s crisis and maybe use the chance to become one of the top three sects.

封长老也是观望好久了.也曾派弟子来过,奈何陆明舒闭门谢客,根本不见人.他思来想去,干脆豁出面子,亲自来一趟.

Elder Feng has been eyeing the secret technique for a long time.

He had even sent a disciple over to pay Lu Mingshu a visit but was only met with a door.

Elder Feng came out with many ideas, and end up deciding to leave his pride aside and come over personally.

没想到还没见到人,就先碰到了戴静予.

Who knows he would meet Dai Jingyu before her?

天海阁热爱搞十大,比如十大岛主,十大弟子.十大岛主不用说,地位超然,哪怕掌门也不能随便支使.而十大弟子,则由十大岛主门下决出,通常也是候选继任者.

The Heavenly Sea Pavillion is found of the top ten.

Top ten island master, Top ten disciple.

The Top ten island master is high status, a status that makes the sect leader listens to them.

While the top ten disciples are picked out by islands master, and mostly the next island master.

戴静予在十大弟子中排行第三,将来成为一方岛主的可能性很高,封长老哪会不认得?当下笑道:”真是巧了,戴姑娘也来见陆姑娘吗?”

Dai Jingyu ranks third among the top ten disciples and is most likely one of the next island masters, thus why would Elder Feng not know her?

He smiled and nodded his head.

“Such a coincidence, is Miss Dai here to meet Miss Lu?”

戴静予点点头.这位封长老,是四象门的年轻实干派,年纪比她大不了多少,论起来,也能说是同代人.

Dai Jingyu nodded.

This elder Feng is one of the youngest elders in the Four Elephant Gate.

They are in the same generation as they are about the same age.

封长老敏锐地看出她的尴尬,当即笑道:”陆姑娘实力非凡,戴姑娘想必是来向她讨教的?难怪两位年纪轻轻,名扬古夏,这等钻研精神,几人能及?”

Sensing her awkwardness, elder Feng chuckled softly.

“Miss Lu’s ability is extraordinary, so I guess Miss Dai must be here to learn from her?

No wonder Misses are so well known at such a young age!

This is such a spirit!”

被他这么一说,戴静予没那么尴尬了,笑了笑:”封长老难道不是?”

After hearing him, Dai Jingyu smiled thinly, not looking that awkward anymore.

“Same as Elder Feng.”

封长老笑道:”是,当然是.”

Elder Feng chuckled.

“Yesh, same.”

两人交换了一个心照不宣的眼神,封长老让了让,戴静予的侍女先过去敲门.

Both of them exchange a glance and elder Feng stepped back, letting Dai Jingyu go first.

Dai Jingyu’s servant girl went forward to knock on the door.

“谁呀?”里面传来一个稚嫩的声音.

“Who is it?” A kiddish voice could be heard.

他们都知道,陆明舒此行没带随从,只带了一位稚气未脱的师妹.侍女扬声道:”陆姑娘在吗?我家小姐求见.”

All of them are aware that Lu Mingshu only brought a small junior sister on this trip with her.

“Is Miss Lu in?

My miss want’s to pay you a visit!”

“你家小姐谁呀?”那声音接道.

“Who is your miss?” the voice replied.

这句话接得好不客气,在场之人不免腹诽,到底是这位师妹不懂人情世故,还是陆明舒脾气太大?能被带出门的,不至于连接个话都不会吧?

This answers gave those present a shock.

~Do her junior sister know about manners?

Or Lu Mingshu is just being too arrogant?

Can’t it be that her junior sister still do not know proper manners when she could be brought on a trip?~

他们哪里知道,元榕就是不懂人情世故.她在元昔太上长老身边长大,谁见了不是客客气气?况且,俗务有秀姑姑打理,根本不需要她懂什么人情世故.

But indeed, Yuan Rong do not know much about manners.

She grew up under the care of Grand Elder Yuan Xi, and there is no one who treated her rudely.

Furthermore, aunt Xiu is always with her.

There is no need for her to know about manners.

侍女回身看了眼戴静予,得到她的指令,说道:”我家小姐姓戴,名静予.”

The servant girl took a look at Dai Jingyu and after receiving permission, she replied.

“My Miss has the name of Jingyu, and surname Dai.”

里边马上回话了:”我师姐说了,现下不见人.”

“But my senior sister said that she does not wish to see anyone now.” Yuan Rong replied immediately.

侍女脸皮抽了抽,有点被哽到,忍不住道:”这位姑娘,您先禀报陆姑娘好吗?或许陆姑娘愿意见呢?”

The servant girl forced a smile and tried to keep herself calm.

“Miss, can you please ask Miss Lu about this?

She might wish to meet her.”

“这样啊!”里面响起脚步声,似是这位师妹往屋里去了.没过多久,又蹬蹬蹬跑回来,门”吱呀”开了,探出来一张稚嫩的圆脸.

“Oh, okay!” The servant girl then heard footsteps getting further, seems like the Junior sister has gone into the house.

After some time, they heard footsteps and the door creaked open, revealing a kiddish face.

元榕一探出来,就被吓了一跳:”怎么这么多人?”

Yuan Rong stared at them in shock.

“Why are there so many people?”

侍女露出笑来:”这位是元姑娘吧?不知陆姑娘…”

The servant girl smiled sweetly and went up to her.

“You must be miss Yuan, am I right?

Do miss Lu….”

元榕道:”抱歉啊,这位姐姐,我师姐说谁也不见.”

Yuan Rong shook her head.

“Elder sister, I’m sorry.

My senior sister said that she would not see anybody right now.”

“这…”侍女很怀疑,”元姑娘,您真的去问了吗?”

“This….” The servant girl raised an eyebrow.

“Miss Yuan, did you really asked her?”

“问了呀!”元榕眨了眨眼,”师姐在睡觉呢,我去问她,还被骂了.”

“Yes, I did!” Yuan Rong blinked.

“Senior sister is sleeping.

I am even scolded for asking her.”

“…”侍女嘴角一抽,内心疯狂地想吐槽.这位元姑娘是故意下她们的脸吗?就算真是这么回事,也不能当着这么多人的面说出来吧?但是元榕能毫无顾忌地说,她不能随便应,只得道:”元姑娘,能否请你再去问一声?或许陆姑娘没听清呢!”

“…..” The Servant girl wanted to roll her eyes badly.

~Can’t you see what situation this is?

Even if this is really so, you should not say it out loud in this manner!~ But Yuan Rong continued to ramble on whatever she wants, and the servant girl could not reply what’s on her mind.

“Miss Yuan, could you please double-check?

I’m afraid that Miss Lu could not hear you clearly!”

“哎呀!”元榕皱着眉,很烦恼的样子,”这位姐姐,不是我不帮你,我师姐的脾气实在不怎么好,我帮了你,她骂我怎么办?之前师姐交待的题我还没做完呢,可不想受罚了.”

“Haish!” Yuan Rong pouted as if she’s in a difficult position.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

“Elder sister, I would help you if I can.

But I really do not wish to anger my senior sister who has a bad temper.

What if she yells at me?

Furthermore, I have not completed the practice she gave.

I may get into trouble if I continue.”

“元姑娘…”

“Miss Yuan…..”

封长老一见这情形,得了,戴静予都不见,看来他是没希望了.

Elder Feng look at the scene unfold in despair.

~Wow, she even refused to meet Dai Jingyu.

I’m hopeless.~

既然没希望,不如给戴静予解个围,能交好天海阁的十大弟子也不错,对方这个十大弟子,比他四象门长老的分量还重呢!

Being hopeless, Elder Feng decides to help Dai Jingyu be in a less awkward position.

It’s not a bad idea if he could get to know one of the HEavenly Sea Pavillion’s top ten disciples too.

~Her status is even higher than mine!~

这般想着,封长老走过去,客客气气对元榕揖了一礼,说道:”元姑娘,在下四象门封常之,特来求见陆姑娘,可否请元姑娘通禀?”

With this mentality, elder Feng than walked over and greeted Yuan Rong.

“Miss Yuan, I’m the Four Elephant Gate’s Feng Changzhi and I’m here to see Miss Lu.

Can Miss Yuan help to pass the message?”

元榕看了他一眼,点点头:”你稍等.”

Yuan Rong sighed and nodded.

“Okay.”

说着门一合,蹬蹬蹬往里跑.

She shut the door and ran inside.

封长老回身对戴静予笑笑,说道:”看来陆姑娘忙得很啊,这下要白跑一趟了.只是不问个明白,总是不死心…”

Elder Feng turned to Dai Jingyu, smiling apologetically.

“It seems like miss Lu is indeed very busy.

It’s a waste trip now.

But I couldn’t be at ease if I didn’t get to solve the questions I have…”

话没说完,元榕回来了.她打开门,打断他的话:”封长老是吗?请进.”

Before he could finish, Yuan Rong is back.

She pulled open the door and stared at him.

“Are you Elder Feng?

Please come in.”
