Phoenix Destiny-Chapter 453 - Unique

问海先生拍板,将数件宝物放在迷宫中央的石柱上,谁夺到就是谁的,不拘什么门派.

Sir Wen Hai clapped and placed more treasures on the stone pillar in the centre of the mazed.

He even mentioned that it would belong to whoever that gets it.

The winner is not going to be restricted by sect.

此事一定,花满溪就冲寇威道:”寇师兄,你可是我们十大弟子之首,不能堕了我们天海阁的威名吧?”

After the rules have been decided, Hua Manxi ran to Kou Wei.

“Senior brother Kou, you’re the first in our top ten disciples, you wouldn’t lose the Heavenly Sea Pavillion’s face, will you?”

寇威一笑起身:”几位师弟师妹如此费心,我又岂能不捧场?不如就由我和方师弟各领一队,也好约束一二.”

Kou Wei smiled and stood up.

“After all the effort my junior brothers and sisters have put in, why would I not show my support?

Why not me and junior Fang lead a team each?

Since we are both the first and second respectively.”

“寇师兄想得周到.”方镇慢悠悠地说.

“It’s a good idea, Senior brother Kou.” Fang Zhen said slowly.

寇威往中间一站,与方镇分列左右,看向十大弟子另几位:”几位师弟师妹,是要与我同行,还是跟随方师弟呢?”

Kou Wei at the centre of the stage, right next to Fang Zhen.

He turned to the rest of them.

“Mu junior brothers and sisters, are you going to join me, or Junior brother Fang.”

他话一说完,戴静予就毫不犹豫地站到他身后去.略一迟疑,另外一男一女也跟了过去.

As soon as he finished his words, Dai Jingyu stood right behind him.

After a slight hesitation, a guy and a girl went along too.

剩下的,有三人走出来,躬身行了一礼,其中一个说道:”诸位师长,师兄师姐,我们三人实力略逊,就不参与破关了.”

After that, three of the disciples walked over to the main table and bowed.

“All elders, senior brothers and sisters.

The three of us are not up to the standard yet.

So we would not participate in the competition.”

程掌门含笑点头:”你们尚未出神,与他们同台较技,确实难为了,就在旁边看吧.”

Sect leader Cheng smiled and nodded.

“You three have yet to broke through the spirit realm, so it would be tough for you to compete with your seniors.

Stay at the side to watch then.”

十大弟子去三,剩下七人里,已经分成两队.

After three disciples chose to not participate in the competition, there are only seven people left, and they have separated themselves into two teams.

寇威领一队,旗下戴静予,莫青缡,苏子归.方镇领一队,同行有杜芙蓉和花满溪.

Kou Wei’s team consist of Dai Jingyu, Mo Qingli and Su Zigui.

On the other hand, Fang Zhen’s team consist of Du Furong and Hua Manxi.

方镇对寇威笑道:”寇师兄,你们人多,下一个队友,不介意小弟先邀请吧?”

Fang Zhen turned to Kou Wei in smiles.

“Senior brother Kou Wei, can Junior pick my teammate first?

Since you have one person more.”

寇威伸了伸手,含笑:”方师弟请.”

Kou Wei nodded and smiled.

“Junior brother Fang, please.”

表面看起来,他这队人多了一个,排名也靠前,实际上,戴静予有伤在身,剩余实力不足五成,莫青缡和苏子归排名又靠后,并不见得比方镇他们三个强了.

On the surface, it seems like Kou Wei’s team is more advantageous since the higher rankings one are on their team and they have one person more.

However, Dai Jingyu is injured, she only has less than fifty per cent of her ability.

Both Mo Qingli and Su Zigui is also ranked further at the back.

Thus they might not be stronger than Fang Zhen.

可当众较起这个事,就没意思了,寇威身为大师兄,礼让本是应该.

However, as the senior brother, he should give in to his juniors and not be petty about such a small manner.

得了他的应允,方镇也不客气,冲不远处扬声道:”凌姑娘,不知可愿与我等共闯迷宫?”

After getting his consent, Fang Zhen smiled and turn to the crowd.

“Miss Ling, are you willing to break through the maze with me?”

他话一出口,众人的目光随之落在凌无瑕身上.

As soon as he called her out, the crowd turned to Ling Wuxia.

此番寿宴,凌无瑕不是主角胜似主角,不知有多少人盯着她和寇威,想看看他们俩到底能不能结成亲,两派的关系又如何.没想到,方镇倒是不避嫌,就是不知道他是想促成呢,还是想拆散.

Ling Wuxia isn’t the main character of this celebration, but she is treated as she is.

All eyes are on her and Kou Wei, interested in the result of their arranged marriage and what changes would they bring to Ancient China.

However, this seems to not bother Fang Zhen.

~Is he trying to matchmake or break the marriage?~

众目睽睽,凌无瑕盈盈起身,缓步而来:”方公子盛情,岂敢推拒?”

Under the crowd’s eyes, Ling Wuxia stood up slowly and walked towards the stage.

“How would I dare to reject Gentleman Fang’s invitation?”

方镇笑眯眯:”既如此,凌姑娘就归属我这一队了.”

“Since then, Miss Ling would be on my team.” Fang Zhen smiled happily.

凌无瑕对着主座的长辈们低身一礼,又对寇威等同辈点了点头,说道:”既不嫌弃,自当尽力.”

Ling Wuxia bowed to the elders on the main seat.

She then greeted the other ten disciples.

“Since you have chosen me, I’ll do my best.”

说着,站到方镇身后.

With that, she went behind Fang Zhen.

方镇一笑,伸手道:”寇师兄,该你了.”

Fang Zhen turned to Kou Wei and smiled.

“Senior brother Kou, it’s your turn now.”

寇威点了点头,抬起目光,缓缓扫过.

Kou Wei nodded.

He looked up and scanned the crowd.

被他看到的,无不挺起胸膛.

Those that he had landed his eyes on sat upright in pride.

寇威目光一停,嘴边泛起微笑:”陆姑娘,方便与我等同行否?”

Kou Wei eyes stopped at the side.

He smiled slightly.

“Miss Lu, are you okay with joining me?”

此言一出,海桥哗然.

He caused an uproar after he said that.

陆明舒,他请的是陆明舒吗?可他看的方向,好像没有第二位陆姑娘.

Lu Mingshu, did he just invited Lu Mingshu to join him?

But the direction that he’s staring at, there’s only one miss Lu.

几日前,陆明舒与戴静予之事,可说是众所周知,连带的,寇威也下了面子.没想到,寇威今日还敢邀请陆明舒入队,到底是借此和好,还是担心她去了方镇那队,会更麻烦呢?

There is no one who is unaware of the incident between Lu Mingshu and Dai Jingyu.

Kou Wei even let down his pride for this incident.

But Kou Wei invited Lu Mingshu to join him today!

Is he trying to use this chance to make up with her or is afraid of the possible problems that might arise if she joins Fang Zhen’s team?

“师姐?”元榕一头雾水,”他是请你吗?”

“Senior sister?” Yuan Rong stared at her in confusion.

“Did he just invited you?”

陆明舒伸手摸了个东西出来,按到元榕手里:”拿好了,等会儿不管发生什么事,你都别动.”

Lu Mingshu fishes something out of her pocket and pressed it into Yuan Rong’s hand.

“Take this.

No matter what happens later on, do not move.”

“哦…”元榕呆呆地应声.

“Oh….” Yuan Rong said blankly.

九瑶宫的席位,离主座不近.陆明舒起身,袖子一扬,一道剑气飞掠而出,而后她脚步一跨,不短的距离,几步就到了主座台上.

The Nine Jade Palace’s table is not near the main table.

Lu Mingshu got up and waved her sleeve.

Sword energy swept across the place.

Lu Mingshu jumped up and within no time, she’s on the stage.

不懂的人看得莫名所以,懂的人大吃一惊.

Those who do not understand it is confused, why those who do is in utter shock.

主座那边,却是没有不懂的,人人都以惊疑的目光看着她.

And there is nobody on the main table who do not know.

All elders are staring at her in disbelieving.

缩地成寸!她这步法,分明就是缩地成寸!

Reducing the ground to an inch!

~She’s using the method, reducing the ground to an inch!~

不是说,化物境才可以不拘于物,随意来去吗?怎么她刚刚进入出神,就能缩地成寸了?她那秘法,真的这么厉害?

No wait, isn’t this something that only an assimilation realm could do?

Why would someone who just entered the spirit realm be able to do so?

~Is her secret technique that superb?~

事情摆在面前,似乎不相信不成了…

But they have just witnessed it, and there is no reason for them to not believe what they saw.

“陆姑娘,可愿与我等同行?”寇威又问了一句.

“Miss Lu, are you willing to join me?” Kou Wei asked again.

陆明舒淡淡点头,又道:”同行无妨,只一句,输赢各凭天命,我不负责.”

Lu Mingshu nodded calmly.

“I don’t mind.

But I am not going to be responsible for the result.

It’s all fate.”

要是平时,她这么说定然会被人嗤笑一句口气太大,但方才施展的缩地成寸之术,镇住了这些人,竟无人说话.

If it’s on a daily basis, she would be mocked for being arrogant.

But with Reducing the ground to an inch technique, nobody dared to make any comments.

方镇笑道:”寇师兄竟然请到了陆姑娘,这叫我们怎么才好?”他抬起头,视线慢慢扫过,看到某一处时,停了停.

“Senior brother Kou had gotten Miss Lu on your side, what shall we do now?” He laughed.

He scanned the crowd and his glance landed on someone.

还没来得及开口,那处已响起声音:”别这么看我,”谢廉贞慢吞吞地站起来,扇子拢在袖里,踱过来,往陆明舒身边一站,”我嘛,自然是跟陆姑娘在一处.”

Before he could say anything, a voice rang across the area.

“Don’t look at me in this way,” Xie Lianzhen stood up, putting the fan back into his sleeves, walking towards the stage slowly and standing next to Lu Mingshu.

“I’ll obviously be on Miss Lu’s side.”

“…”方镇笑叹,”可惜.”

“…”Fang Zhen sighed.

“Such a pity.”

海桥上再起骚动.

Shrieks could be heard.

“这是廉贞公子?他怎么这么…”

“Is this the Gentleman Lianzhen?

Why…”

这人表情一言难尽.要说谢廉贞出场,那可真是倾倒一群人,那些女弟子,看着他都移不开眼.可他的行为作派实在是…这么围着陆姑娘转,一点也不避嫌,不觉得很掉价吗?

The crowd is at a loss of words.

To say the impact that Xie Lianzhen brought with him, it would be no doubt the attention of the female disciples.

They have their eyes stuck on him, but as for how he is acting…

Revolving around Miss Lu, not making an effort to avoid scandals.

~Don’t he feel like his lowering his value?~

谢廉贞显然不觉得,还低头冲陆明舒一笑.

However, Xie Lianzhen seems to think otherwise.

He even flashed Lu Mingshu a smile.

可惜,陆明舒面无表情,完全没回应.

It’s such a pity that Lu Mingshu only looked at him expressionlessly, and gave no response.

薛意这样的,注意的则是另一件事.

But Xue Yi had her focus on another matter.

“廉贞公子竟要下场?我还以为,他不会参与.”

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

“Gentleman Lianzhen is going to participate?

I thought he wouldn’t!”

许先生皱了皱眉,有点摸不透了:”廉贞公子到底在想什么?那些彩头,对他而言并没有吸引力.且他是廉贞星君,就算名分上是小辈,自持身份也不会有人说他什么…”

Sir Xu furrowed his eyebrows.

He does not know what Xie Lianzhen is thinking about.

“What is he up to?

The treasures are nothing to him, and as an Alioth Star-Lord, there would not be any problem if he rejected the invitation even though he’s the junior.”

在他看来,谢廉贞不动比动要好.稳得住,才叫人看不破.

To him, it would be best that Xie Lianzhen stays quiet now.

So nobody could tell what he has.

薛意有个荒谬的念头:”总不会只是为了和陆明舒一道吧?”

An absurd idea came to Xue Yi.

“Don’t tell me he is doing so just to be with Lu Mingshu.”

“…”许先生无言以对,过了会儿才道,”堂堂廉贞星君,何至于此?”

“….” Sir Xu is left speechless.

After some time, he then responded.

“He’s the Alioth Star-lord, why does he have to act in this way?”

两人都不知道该说什么.照理说,七真观的星君,做事背后必有深意.可谢廉贞以前就是个隐形人物,性子如何,实在很难说清.

Both of them didn’t know what to respond.

As the Seventh truth Platform star-lords, they act with much consideration.

But Xie Lianzhen has always been an invisible character.

It’s hard to tell how is he like.

而他这次出场,就做了两件事,第一件,非要住在陆明舒隔壁,第二件,因戴静予与她动手,出言嘲讽.合起来,只有一件事,那就是帮着陆明舒.

This is the first time he has made a public appearance, and there are two things that he did.

Firstly, he insists on staying next to Lu Mingshu.

Secondly, he made sarcastic comments towards Dai Jingyu when she fought with Lu Mingshu.

In summary, he is always on Lu Mingshu’s side.

以他这次的行为,好像再怎么荒唐,也很符合他的画风?

This time round, his actions seem to be absurd, but oddly suiting his style.
