Cang Yue Kingdom - Capital - Suburbs

Just as Ye Ling and Meng Meng were chatting, the carriage stopped.

Leng Yan dismounted and came to Ye Ling's carriage: "Ling'er, we will camp here. The carriage cannot go the rest of the way, so we have to walk."

"Okay," Ye Ling responded. Looking at Qian Qing who got off the car first, she quickly put the Yin-Yang Sword into the space.

Jiuyou tied up his horse and came to the carriage. He clenched his fist and stretched out the back of his hand, allowing Ye Ling to hold his wrist and get off the carriage.

Leng Yan looked him up and down: "Are you Jiuyou? My uncle's man?"

"Yes" Jiuyou didn't say anything extra.

Leng Yan nodded: "Ling'er is alone. Since you have been ordered to protect her, you must do your best to fulfill your duties."

"Cousin, there's no need to warn him. Right now, the only person in this world who would risk his life for me is Jiuyou. He's also the person I trust the most, no one else." Ye Ling said this firmly, because she had read the book and knew that apart from Jiuyou, no one else could protect her regardless of the consequences. Even Leng Ruxue would weigh the pros and cons before doing so.

Jiuyou's eyes changed from shock to excitement. His lady actually completely understood his loyalty. The only one, no other. Only Jiuyou himself understood how valuable these words were. At this moment, he felt that everything was worth it.

A strange look flashed in Leng Yan's eyes, and then disappeared: "Okay, just trust him. Let General Zhu Wei send someone to set up the tent. We will go to pay tribute to my uncle and the others. It will be almost lunch time when we come back."

"Jiuyou Qianqing, get the sacrificial supplies, let's go," Ye Ling said as he walked over to help get the things.

"Cousin, just let the servants take it, you are the master." Leng Qingqing walked over slowly.

"There are only three of us in our family, and there are so many things. How can they carry them all without our help?" Ye Ling said, then left first with two cloth bags.

Leng Qingqing was angry: "Second brother, look at her, I am doing this for her own good, but she is not happy about it. She also has a family of three. I have never seen anyone who treats slaves as family members. She is indeed a country bumpkin from the countryside."

"Qingqing, stop talking nonsense and leave quickly." Leng Yan didn't understand why Ye Ling was so repulsive to all of them.

After walking for about quarter of an hour, we arrived at the joint tomb of Ye Tingzhan and Leng Jing. The surroundings were very clean.

"I came here two days ago and cleaned it up," Jiuyou said in a low voice.

"Thank you, Jiuyou." Ye Ling said and knelt on his knees. Jiuyou and Qianqing knelt with their master.

Leng Yan and Leng Qingqing also knelt down, and they began to burn the gold ingots and paper money they brought with them.

Ye Ling looked towards the graves and said, "Father, Mother, I'm here to see you. Thank you for letting me take back what belongs to me. From now on, I will no longer depend on anyone, nor will I obey anyone. I will live my own wonderful life and will never let anyone bully me again."

Jiuyou said silently in his heart: Marshal, Madam, rest in peace. The young lady has accepted me. I will definitely protect her and will not let her be bullied.

After the worship was over, Ye Ling said, "Second cousin, cousin, you guys go back to the camp and rest first. I want to stay here with my parents for a while longer. Qianqing, you also go back and prepare lunch."

"Ling'er, let me accompany you!" Leng Yan said.

"No need, Jiuyou is here, I just want some quiet time." Ye Ling declined.

Leng Yan could only leave reluctantly, looking back every few steps.

Leng Qingqing was displeased: "Second brother, what are you looking at? People don't need you to get involved with a servant."

"Qingqing, could you please stop talking nonsense? This will cause misunderstandings and ruin Ling'er's reputation."

"Am I wrong? Does she have a good reputation? Whose servant lives in the mistress's yard?"

"The young lady was just afraid of disturbing the people in the mansion, so she let Jiuyou stay overnight. Besides, I was with the young lady last night and never left," Qian Qing explained.

The maidservant beside Leng Qingqing turned around silently and slapped Qian Qing: "Do you have the right to interrupt the master when he is speaking? What the hell?"

"What are you doing?" Leng Yan shouted angrily. Da Qianqing was actually slapping Ye Ling in the face.

"I know I was wrong," she said silently and pretended to admit her mistake.

"Second brother, what are you doing? What Mo Mo means is what I mean. It's bad enough that she lives and eats for free in our house, but she even brings a man back. Does she really think our family is doing charity?" Leng Qingqing was also angry.

"Qingqing, who taught you to speak so harshly?"

"You dare to do it but you don't dare let people say it?"

"Unreasonable" he said coldly and walked away.

"Second brother" Leng Qingqing stomped her feet in anger.

Mo Mo turned around and slapped Qian Qing again: "You bastard, do you really think you are a human being after following Ye Ling? You will always be a lowly slave."

Qianqing has always been a coward. She could only cover her face and cry, not daring to say a word.

At the same time, Ye Ling stood up after everyone left: "Jiuyou, I haven't practiced martial arts for a long time. I don't know if I've regressed. Can you accompany me for a few moves?"

"Miss... do you know martial arts?" Jiuyou was a little surprised. He had never heard that Ye Ling knew martial arts before.

"Whether it works or not, you'll know once you try it," Ye Ling said as she pulled out the Yin-Yang Sword from the space. Today she wanted to see whether the so-called muscle memory was reliable or not.

"Telekinesis?" Jiuyou was even more shocked.

"Come on, give it your all! Don't give in to me," Ye Ling said as he launched the attack first.

Jiuyou immediately drew his sword to fight. It was the first time for the two of them to fight, and neither knew the other's strength, so they started with testing each other and ended up fighting in a real fight.

The surrounding trees suffered as the two men fought, and fell to pieces in an instant.

Just as the two were fighting fiercely, three people were standing on a protruding rock not far away, watching in amazement.

Ying Ren couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, is that... Ye Ling?"

"It's her," Xuan Lei confirmed.

"She knows martial arts? A woman knows martial arts? And she has two swords? This... goes against common sense!" Shadow Blade said.

"Neither you nor I may be her match, and that guard is not bad either," Xuan Lei analyzed seriously.

"Yin Yang Blade?" Nangong Chen muttered to himself, "This weapon has disappeared for a hundred years, how could it be in her hands?"

"Yin Yang Blade?" Shadow Blade was shocked again. "Your Highness, are you talking about the weapon used by the top expert on the Langya List a hundred years ago? Didn't they disappear after his death?"

"Your Highness should not be mistaken. This pair of swords is no less famous in Ye Ling's hands," said Xuan Lei.

"Her moves seem familiar, as if I've seen them somewhere," Nangong Chen spoke again.

"Defeated, the guards were defeated"

With Xuan Lei's affirmation, the competition here ended. Jiuyou never thought that his lady was so powerful.

Ye Ling put away his knife, wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with a smile: "Jiuyou, what do you think of our strength if we join forces to conquer the martial arts world?"

"Yeah." Jiuyou nodded vigorously. One could imagine how excited he was. The two powerful forces joined forces and were invincible!

The two smiled at each other and turned to look at the grave at the same time. They were shocked when they saw it because the fight was so intense that the grave of Ye Tingxun and his wife was full of branches and debris.

The two secretly cried out in disbelief and quickly trotted forward to clean again. Ye Ling muttered as she worked, "Dad, Mom, I'm so sorry for making a mess of you two. Please don't be angry! Your daughter will remove it for you right away, right away."

After some effort, the two finally cleaned up the area around the cemetery, relit the candles, burned incense and offered sacrifices, and only then did they feel at ease.

"The Marshal and his wife won't be angry, they love the young lady very much," Jiuyou said softly.

Ye Ling smiled brightly: "I know, Jiuyou, thank you for taking care of my parents' graves for me over the past few years."

“This is what subordinates should do.”

"Let's go, it's past noon, I'm hungry, let's go back and eat."

"it is good"

Not long after Ye Ling and Jiu You left, Nangong Chen and the other two arrived at the grave and placed the offerings they had prepared. The three of them solemnly and respectfully bowed three times in worship.

After the worship, a soldier trotted over and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince has also set up camp by the river, not far from the Ye family camp. The open space in between is... not very big."

"Not too big is better than nothing. Go and arrange my camp between their two houses." Nangong Chen instantly became interested in Ye Ling. Since ancient times, there have been very few women practicing martial arts, and there has never been anyone as powerful as her. This Ye Ling is truly a miracle!

"Your Highness, the worship is over. Shouldn't we... set up camp on the mountain? This way it will be more convenient for hunting and no one will disturb you." Ying Ren didn't understand.

Nangong Chen rolled his eyes at Ying Ren and walked towards the route Ye Ling and the others had taken without saying a word.

Xuan Lei looked at Ying Ren with disdain: "This brain! It's better not to use it. It's useless to keep it."

"I...what gives you the right to say that to me?" Ying Ren was unconvinced. He asked as they walked, "Don't we always camp in the mountains after paying homage to General Ye every year? Your Highness doesn't like crowds, and he especially doesn't like living with the Crown Prince. Am I wrong? There's not much open space by the river to begin with, and now you're squeezing in among people? What's the point?"

"Shut up! If you say one more word, you will go to live in the mountains alone and never come down again in your life," said Nangong Chen.

Ying Ren immediately shut up, not daring to say another word, unable to figure out what was going on.

Xuan Lei gave a rather unkind smile: "Idiot."

Ye Ling had already returned to the camp at this moment, and Qian Qing immediately shouted, "Miss, come and eat. I've reheated the food. If you don't eat now, you won't be able to eat."

Ye Ling came to her tent and looked towards the camp in the distance: "Qian Qing, who is that over there?"

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the two young ladies of the Ye family. They seem to be out for an outing," Qian Qing replied while serving the soup.

"They're haunting me! I run into these villains everywhere I go. They make me angry." Ye Ling was very annoyed. After saying that, he glanced at Qian Qing and said, "What's wrong with your face?"

"I...I accidentally touched it. Miss, drink the porridge. Jiuyou, this is yours." Qian Qing didn't want to cause trouble for Ye Ling.

Ye Ling didn't take the bowl. Instead, he took a step forward, pinched Qian Qing's chin, and took a closer look. "Did he hit her? Did he hit her with five finger marks? Tell me, who hit her?"

"It's... it's Momo who is beside the eldest lady." Qianqing said with tears coming down, and recounted what happened on the way back just now.
