?424: Achievements 424: Achievements Editor: Exodus Tales  ??????,????????????.

Ruining Liu Jizhen’s life is the second achievement Zhou Miaoru had gotten in her life that she has always taken pride off.

?????????????,????.

The first one is successfully getting recognized by her father and getting control of the Zhou’s being trusted in her hands.

????,????????????.

But Zhou Miaoru only got to achieved her first achievement due to the second achievement.

??????????,??,???????????,????????.

It all dated back to twenty-four years ago, when the nasty girl standing right in front of her not was yet to be born, and she had yet to met Fu Shangqing.

??????,???????,???????,????,????????,?????????????.

The Zhou family tried all that they could to get Liu Jizhen on their side, but their efforts were all in vain.

When Liu Jizhen broke through the spirit realm and was string to become a household name, the Zhou’s were in a panic.

If they do not take action right now, the sect leader’s position would fall into Yu-Wen Shi’s hands.

????????????.?????????,????????,??????????????????,??????.???,?????????????——?????????????,????????.

And this is certainly unacceptable.

The Nine Jade Palace has been in their hands for decades, thus there are too many secrets they have on their hand that they could not risk letting it be known to outsiders, especially one that’s opposing you.

If that happens, the secret of the Deity’s festival might be known—as the sect leader is promised a slot to watch the scene.

It’s better to be safe than sorry.

??,??????????,??????????.

However, the Zhou family could not find a chance to deal with the sly Yu-Wen Shi.

?????????,??????????,???????????.

Back then, the Zhou’s main target was still Yu-Wen Shi, and they did not pay much attention to Liu Jizhen.

??,??????????,?????,???????,???????,????????.??,???????,????,???????.

Firstly, as the martial arts genius he was, the Zhou’s have been valuing him ever since he was a kid, as he would be bringing the Nine Jade Palace pride as time goes by.

Secondly, Liu Jizhen has never been a busybody to meddle in their fight over control, thus they do not see him as an enemy.

???????????,?????????,????????,?????????,????.

It was when Zhou Miaoru was still the elder miss Zhou.

Even though sect leader Zhou loved her daughter, it’s undeniable that Zhou Miaoru is incapable of breaking through the spirit realm.

????!??????,?????,????,???????????,????????????

This makes Zhou Miaoru extremely unhappy.

~It’s not my fault that I’m born with bad body construction!

But why am I still not an option when there is no other available option?~   ????????,?????????.??,??????,????,??????.

In order to take control of the family, one must have the ability in terms of martial arts and leadership.

The latter which Zhou Miaoru has.

??,?????????????????,?????????.????,??????????,?????????????,????????,????.??????????????.

So, when the focus was on Yu-Wen Shi, Zhou Miaoru started aiming at Liu Jizhen.

To her, Yu-Wen Shi is nobody without Liu Jizhen.

Not only he himself is not strong enough, but the line of the jade terrace is also too.

??,???????.????????????,???????,????????,?????,????????.

Liu Jizhen, the senior brother of the fifteenth generation who shines brightly.

If he supports Yu-Wen Shi, then everyone would go with him.

???????????????,???????????,??????????,???????????.

But what if Liu Jizhen is no longer around?

Without Liu Jizhen’s support, would Yu-Wen Shi still be a popular choice as he is now?

Getting rid of Liu Jizhen could exchange time for the Zhou family to find someone suitable and not lose the sect leader’s position to Yu-Wen Shi.

????,????????????,?????????,?????????.

After making up her mind, Zhou Miaoru did all she could to follow Liu Jizhen out during his trip.

????,???????——?????????,???????,?????,???????????????.????,????????????,???????????.????,????????,????????,??????????.

To her, this is a game that she could only win, and no otherwise—She wasn’t taken notice off back then and was mostly overheard.

Zhou Miaoru carried out her plan secretly behind her father, and she got the resources by making use of her father’s name.

If she won this round, she is sure that she would be forgiven and even make her father proud.

But if she loses, she would only become a tool to connect the Zhou family with other powerful organisations by marriage, and never get to redeem herself.

???????,??????????.???????????????,??????,???????.????,???????,?????????????.??????,????????,????????.

It seems to be an easy plan, but only when she carried it out, she then realised that she have underestimated Liu Jizhen.

He may not be only one to break through the spirit realm at twenty-four.

It may have been an amazing result but there are deemed to have a few disciples from the bigger sect who have broken through at twenty-five.

What makes him special is his swordsmanship.

?????,??????,????????????????,????????,???????????.

So where did she get somebody to seized him?

Like what many others have guessed, only a powerful man could do so.

????????????????????,??????,????,???????,????,?????????

Which powerful martial artist would not want to maintain a good reputation?

Liu Jizhen is considered a well-known junior to many back then.

How would the consequences be if somebody were to be exposed to seizing a junior?

??,?????????,??????????????????????????

Moreover, which person that is capable of ruining Liu Jizhen would mind the little money that Zhou Miaoru pays them?

??????,??????,???????,????????????.

While Liu Jizhen was travelling, Zhou Miaoru was busying looking for people.

Not only she has failed repeatedly, but she also wasn’t even able to ask.

?????????????????,???????…

Just as Zhou Miaoru was about to concede defeat, she met somebody…

“??,???????” “Why, have you forgotten it?”   ?????????,????????.

Her ice-cold voice pulled Zhou Miaoru back to reality.

??????????,??????.

The smile is no longer on her face.

?????,??????????.

Zhou Miaoru remained silent as if she had not heard her.

?????????????,?????????:”?????,????????,??????” Lu Mingshu glanced over at stewardess Yao, but continued to speak to Zhou Miaoru.

“Do you think I came without evidence?”   ?????.??????????,????????,???????,?????????.

Lu Mingshu received no response.

Even though Zhou Miaoru is dying to admit to make herself feel better, she couldn’t do so after thinking about Fu Mingtang.

?????,??????.???????,???????????,????????????????,???????,??????.??????,????,??????????.

~This witch is too cruel.

If I admit to my doings, she may take revenge on Mingtang.

I have nothing more left, only this son.

As long as Mingtang stays safe, we may get to back to where we have been after a few years!~   ??,?????????????.?????,????!

And Zhou Miaoru did not want to let Lu Mingshu get what she wants so simply.

~You’re dying to know, right?

But I’ll not tell you!~   “???????????????????????,????????????,??????????,?????????????…”????????,”????????????,??????.” “Well, do you even know the reason for the rumours?

After the Deity’s festival, the whole Nine Jade Palace has been living under my feet.

They knew I was not in good terms with you so they collected evidence of your wrongdoings…” Lu Mingshu snickered.

“Oh, I meant, somebody has collated them and sent it to me.”   ???????.?????????????

Zhou Miaoru remained unmoved.

~Do you think I will admit just with this?~   ??????????:”??,?????????,??????,?????????????????,???,???????,????????.?????,?????,????????????.” Lu Mingshu continued to stare at stewardess Yao.

“But even if I do not have any evidence and I blame it on you, there’s no one here would say otherwise.

Stepmother, do not waste your chance while I am still patient.

If you missed it, even I myself is unknown of what I would do next!”   ????????.?????????,???????????????????,?????????.???????????,???????.????,????????,????,????????.???????????,?????????????!

Zhou Miaoru sneered softly.

~Even if I kneel down right now, asking for your forgiveness, you would still take revenge nonetheless.

Zhou Yinru is the one who has caused the death of her grandfather and her mother died in Jiulu because of us!

During this period, she was being mistreated because of us too.

She’s such a vengeful kid, so why would she let me off if I admit to the charges?~   ???????,????????.????????????????,????????????????!

Suddenly, an idea came to Zhou Miaoru’s mind.

~Since evidence isn’t that easy to be found, then I shall keep it a secret and you and your master would forever not get the answer!~   ????,?????”??”?????,???:”???,?????????,???????!” Just then, stewardess Yao plopped down onto the floor and wailed.

“Elder Miss, madame did not do this on purpose, please spare her this once!”   ???????,??????????:”??,?…” Seeing stewardess Yao on the floor, Zhou Miaoru could not believe what’s going on.

“Ah Yao, what…”   ??????????:”???,?????????,???????????,??????!”??,???????,???????,??????,????????!

Tears streamed Stewardess Yao face as she kneeled on the floor.

“Elder Miss, madame did do so but she has never expected this to work too!

Please spare her!” She then start to spill the details of what happened back then.

????????.?????,?????:”?,?????!” When Zhou Miaoru have realised what’s going on, she blew her top.

She pointed at stewardess Yao with her hands shaking.

“You, betrayal!”   ??????????????:”??!??????,?????!????????,???????,????????.” Stewardess Yao rushed over and hugged her legs tightly.

“Madame, we can’t hide this anymore, just admit it!

Servant thinks it’s better to do so, elder miss might be forgiving enough to let you off.”
