The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cangyue Country - Nanlai - Paradise

After succeeding, Xue Jingchuan stood up with a smile and went to the kitchen outside: "Sister Ye, I will help you cook."

"You? You'd better go out and sit down! I'm afraid you'll poison me," Ye Ling said.

"Haha..." Mo Yufeng laughed unkindly.

"Why would I poison someone?" Xue Jingchuan was speechless.

"I'm afraid you hold a grudge against our family, so I put some croton seeds or something. Who can stand it?" Ye Ling said with a smile.

Xue Jingchuan felt terrible: "I want to find a quiet place with no one around."

"There's no one in the toilet right now!" Wan Qi said naively.

"Haha..." Everyone present laughed.

Mo Yufeng said, "Xiaoxia Xue, although children may speak without restraint, they are telling the truth!"

"It's over, I can't stay here anymore." Xue Jingchuan felt like he was going to get depressed.

Mo Yufeng was sawing wood while chatting: "Junior sister, you are already quite old now, and you are doing very well. What do you think about the other half of your life?"

"I said that I don't plan to start a family before I turn 30. As for the inheritance of my master, I will talk about it after I turn 30, just like my senior brother," Ye Ling replied.

"How can you compare with me, I am a man"

"I am a woman, I am only nineteen years old, and my youth should be used to travel the world and see the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, not to take care of a husband and children," Ye Ling refuted seriously.

"But taking care of your husband and children won't affect your career in the martial arts world, right?"

"Why not? I decide my own lifelong affairs. If anyone dares to say anything, I'll chop him off." Ye Ling chopped off a chicken's head with a kitchen knife while speaking. "See? This is its fate. You guys, hurry up and get to work. Stop whining and stop discussing my affairs."

Several men immediately shut up and were completely scared, because Ye Ling was the one with the highest fighting power here.

Mo Yufeng looked at Jiuyou in confusion: "How can you still laugh?"

Jiuyou still smiled: "You don't understand Miss. She is so opinionated. She likes freedom and doing whatever she wants. She likes others to obey her wishes and doesn't like others to make arrangements for her."

"My junior brother still understands me, but you are not allowed to call me Miss anymore," Ye Ling was very happy.

"Okay, senior sister." Jiuyou was very obedient.

"Okay, your junior brother understands you." Mo Yufeng raised his eyebrows meaningfully at Jiuyou.

Amidst bursts of laughter and joy, the aroma of food gradually spread, and everyone sat together, enjoying this warm moment.

Xue Jingchuan watched Wan Qi eat with such gusto that he suddenly felt a pang of love. He turned to look at Ye Ling, thinking that perhaps the freedom she sought was also a kind of happiness.

After dinner, everyone went about their business. Ye Ling came to the stream and quietly gazed at the water. She knew in her heart that she still had a long way to go, and love was not her most important concern at the moment.

"Miss" Wanqi came over holding the rag doll Qianqing made for her and said, "I want to take a nap here too. The room is very hot. It's much cooler by the stream."

"Okay." Ye Ling had originally planned to take a nap here, so he took out two large blankets and spread them under the big tree closest to the stream to cool off.

Wanqi was tired from playing in the morning and fell asleep immediately.

Jiuyou, who was in the distance, moved his horse to a different place and then walked under the tree: "Miss... no, Senior Sister, it's been hot lately and there are snakes. You can sleep peacefully. I... well, I will keep watch for you."

Ye Ling looked at Jiu You and smiled: "It's too much trouble for you to change your words, isn't it? Come here, sit here, I want to discuss our business with you."

"Yes, Senior Sister, can I please not change my name? I'm used to it."

"No, we must change our words. Junior Brother, tell me, what should we do when we go out on the tenth day?"

"Aren't you going to the Guangming Society to challenge Gu Feixiang? Then let's go. The scenery on the way to Quezhou is particularly beautiful. There are large areas of grassland. At this time of year, flowers are everywhere, and it is beautiful beyond words."

"Have you been there? Is it really that beautiful?"

Jiuyou nodded slightly: "I went there once with Ye Shuai, around this time. Don't you want to travel around the country? We can go at our leisure. I will always accompany you."

Ye Ling sat up and extended her right pinky finger: "Let's make a promise. You will stay with me forever. You are not allowed to leave me, and you are not allowed to...make a promise first."

Jiuyou smiled dotingly and cooperated by extending his right pinky finger to make a pinky promise with Ye Ling: "I will always be with you, Senior Sister. If you disobey me, you will die a miserable death."

"Pah, pah, pah!" Ye Ling quickly spat out, "Why do you always swear an oath? It's unlucky."

"Okay, I won't say it anymore in the future." Jiuyou smiled and helped Ye Ling gently push the hair that had run in front of her back.

Not far away, Mo Yufeng grabbed Xue Jingchuan and said, "Don't go over there yet. Look, what a beautiful scene, a golden boy and a beautiful girl!"

Xue Jingchuan felt very uncomfortable: "Senior Feng Qingyang accepted Jiuyou as his disciple to elevate his status so that he could be worthy of Ye Ling, right?"

"Reluctantly?" Mo Yufeng smiled. "He was chosen by Ye Tingzhan as his son-in-law. There was no such thing as reluctantly."

"Ye Ling is the princess"

"Go to hell, Princess! Who cares?"

"Even if I'm not a princess, am I a slave worthy of my master?"

"Xue Jingchuan, don't be so harsh!" Mo Yufeng was immediately displeased. "You've also been a roaming warrior, how come you've mastered all that rubbish etiquette from the officialdom? Junior Sister's affairs are her own, I have no right to interfere, and you have even less right to interfere. I think Jiuyou is a good person. At least he's wholeheartedly devoted to Junior Sister and has no distractions."

"I'm too lazy to argue with you"

"Too lazy to be stubborn? You can't win the argument. I know you are King Beichen's man. After you get out, I will give you everything I should give you. Then we can go our separate ways. We are not the same kind of people forever. The closer you are to me, the more dangerous she will be. Falcon Prison and An Kui actually want to kill you too. You know it in your heart." Mo Yufeng never dragged his words out. He would just say what he wanted to say directly.

Xue Jingchuan smiled and said, "You're right, so Ye Ling didn't implicate me, and I don't blame her for anything."

They both fell silent. Soon the sun began to set, and the courtyard bathed in its afterglow, like a tranquil painting. Everyone, in this world, sought their own destiny.

The next morning, an urgent letter was delivered to the palace of Nanlai in Cangyue Kingdom over a distance of 800 miles. Nangong Hanyi was almost angry to death on the spot.

All the ministers in the Golden Palace did not dare to say a word. They stood quietly, wondering what had happened.

Finally, Leng Ruxue stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, please save the dragon body. I wonder what is the important matter?"

"Defeated," Nangong Hanyi held his forehead and whispered, "The border army was defeated miserably. We have already lost three continents. Ye Jingyun is a loser. My 300,000-man army is now less than 200,000, and the Da'e are still approaching step by step."

For a moment, all the ministers in the palace panicked. Leng Ruxue spoke again: "Your Majesty, things have come to this point. Finding a way to turn the situation around is the most important thing!"

"What suggestions does the Grand Master have?"

"Your Majesty, since Ye Jingyun has neglected his duties, the Ministry of War should send another general to the border to organize the army and strike back at the enemy. We cannot allow Da'e to continue to be so arrogant."

"Your Majesty, what the Grand Tutor said is absolutely right," the ministers echoed.

Nangong Hanyi accepted it and immediately said, "Wen Changqing? Do you have a candidate?"

Wen Changqing, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the only one capable of handling this important task is General Xiao of the Iron Cavalry Battalion, but you have transferred him away, so..."

"Yes, Xiao Ao does have this ability," Nangong Hanyi agreed, because Xiao Ao did not belong to the Crown Prince and King Beichen, but was a beloved general promoted by him personally. "What do you think, Grand Tutor?"

"Looking around, the one who can take the leading role now is indeed General Xiao." Leng Ruxue really admires Xiao Ao's ability and wants him to turn the tide.

"Okay, in that case, I will order Xiao Ao to go to the border to take over the command and regroup."

"Your Majesty is wise." Wen Changqing smiled imperceptibly.

"Ye Jingyun neglected his duties, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The Three Departments will send people to escort him back to the capital. Ye Tingxun will be dismissed from his official position and temporarily detained in the mansion." Nangong Hanyi took out all his anger on the Ye family and never mentioned Nangong Xuan's recommendation that year.

After the court was dismissed, the news spread. At the Beichen Palace, Nangong Chen listened to the eunuch's report and smiled bitterly: "Xiao Ao, the emperor wants to take back the military power without leaving any trace."

"Your Highness, His Majesty only punished the Ye family, and the prince did not mention it at all," Xuan Lei said.

"It will take Xiao Ao more than half a month to travel 800 miles to the border even if he rushes. Think about what will happen during this period? Now I have lost three continents, and the territory conquered by Ye Tingzhan is gone." Nangong Chen was also helpless.

"Alas~" Xuan Lei sighed: "Your Highness, I never thought that the princess was Feng Qingyang's disciple. No wonder she is so powerful!"

"I was mistaken for someone special. When she was holding the Yin-Yang Blade, I should have guessed it was Feng Qingyang. But when did she become the Langya Pavilion's envoy? That's quite a high position!"

"It's no wonder people look down on the status of a princess. Princess is just a title, while the envoy holds the real power. The Langya Pavilion knows and understands the affairs of the world. They have countless people under their command, and they are all capable and righteous people. The princess is so young and she has become the leader of this group. It's not easy!"

"She was able to make it onto the Nirvana in Fire list because of her overwhelming strength!"

"That's right, strength speaks for itself. However, Your Highness, you don't have to worry about their safety now. They are protected by Langya Pavilion."

"I originally thought her disappearance was mysterious, but now it makes sense. With Langya Pavilion covering her tracks, naturally no one else could detect it. Ye Ling, she wasn't fighting alone at all. Behind her stood the world's number one expert and the Langya Pavilion, a group that even the royal families of the Three Kingdoms dared not provoke!"

"I believe this. The fact that the Langya Pavilion Master appointed a 19-year-old girl as a servant shows that she is different. Shadow Blade should be able to pick her up soon. I don't quite understand why you asked him to send An Kui back with such fanfare."

"Only by making a big show of it can my brother have trouble taking action. Anyone who takes action at this time will be guilty. Moreover, the rumors are impossible to suppress now, and my father is also worried."

"So that's what it means!" Xuan Lei suddenly realized.
