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

Cang Yue Kingdom——Shunyang County Official Road

On a summer night, the stars twinkle like jewels set against the black sky. The Milky Way, like a brilliant ribbon of light, stretches across the sky, connecting countless stars. In this vast sky, each star has its own unique radiance and story.

Ye Ling, Youming Lang, Mo Yufeng and Su Su lined up, lay on the blanket, and looked up at the starry sky. Suddenly, a meteor streaked across the sky.

Ye Ling suddenly stood up: "Meteor, make a wish quickly."

"What?" Before they could react, only a short and dazzling light remained in the sky.

"I once read in a book that making a wish to a shooting star is very effective." Ye Ling continued to lie down.

"So what did you wish for just now?" Su Su asked while hugging Ye Ling's arm.

"It won't work if I say it out loud"

"Someone is coming," Jiuyou said as he wiped his sword.

Youminglang and Mo Yufeng immediately stood up. Mo Yufeng said, "It's getting late. Let's go to bed. We have a long journey tomorrow."

Su Su stood up and looked at the person who came: "Hey! Miss Meng, why are you not sleeping so late? Is there something wrong?"

"Miss Su, I'm not here to see you. Why are you being so sentimental?" Meng Jing looked at Ye Ling with disdain, and her expression immediately changed. She said gently: "Envoy Ye, they said there are the most wolves here. Will there be any trouble tonight?"

Ye Ling sat cross-legged and called out, "Zhuang Yi?"

"I'm coming!" Zhuang Yi walked over quickly: "Si Shi, what's wrong?"

"Miss Meng said there are wolves, so you can't let your guard down at night," Ye Ling said.

"Don't worry, the twenty brothers are divided into three groups and will take turns on night duty. There will be no problem. Besides, there are travelers camping over there, so it's very safe," said Zhuang Yi.

Ye Ling stood up and said, "Ms. Meng, Zhuang Yi is better than me in terms of escorting the convoy. Besides, you were picked up by Su Su, and we at Langya Pavilion have a rule that we can't interfere in other people's affairs. If you have any questions, you can go to them. You two can talk. I'm going to rest now."

"No..." Meng Jing looked at Ye Ling unwillingly as he entered the tent.

"Miss Meng, do you have anything else to say?" Su Su also stood up.

"Hmph~" Meng Jing snorted and turned away.

The next day, Mo Yufeng urged everyone to set off early in the morning. Because the temperature had risen recently and it was too hot at noon, they had to rest. So they took advantage of the cool morning to walk a few more steps.

Everyone was busy dismantling the tents. Ye Ling stood by the stream and stretched lazily. She always slept on the Simmons bed in the space at night. It was very comfortable and she could even take a hot shower.

Youminglang and Mo Yufeng walked over together. Youminglang spoke first, "This stream is called the Quanze River. Quan symbolizes the source of life and vitality; Ze means grace and moisture, symbolizing the nourishment of life. It is a branch of the largest river in Cangyue Country, flowing through almost half of Cangyue Country. The water is crystal clear year-round and sweet and delicious. The official road we are taking to Quezhou this time is built along the Quanze River. You can camp by the river every day and enjoy the view to your heart's content."

"Quanze River, the name has a good meaning. It provides protection for all travelers." Ye Ling said, looking around: "I remember many people camping last night, why are we the only ones left this morning?"

"The temperature has been too high recently. It's extremely hot at noon, so people get up before dawn to travel. Let's hurry up and rest at noon, and then set off after 2:30 pm," said Mo Yufeng.

Ye Ling turned and looked at Meng Jing, who was again lecturing his servants, puzzled. "Brother, I shouldn't say this, but what is the status of Langya Pavilion? Why would they accept such a job? If you want to punish evildoers, I can understand, but what is this?"

"This is the job Susu agreed to do herself. She just wanted to go out and have fun. The old Pavilion Master was also very angry, but since his granddaughter agreed and even accepted the money, what else could he do? He had no choice but to let Zhuang Yi escort her."

"This girl, what she did was too shameful, but..." Ye Ling deliberately dragged out the words and looked at Mo Yufeng: "Brother, do you think I'm a fool?"

"What do you mean?" Mo Yufeng asked with great interest.

"What if I'm right today?"

"You're right, I owe you thirty thousand taels."

"It's a bit much. I'm not the type to take advantage of others. How about 15,000 taels divided among so many people?"

"it is good"

"I asked Su Su, she usually never goes out of the main door or the second door, how could she be involved in the job of escorting Meng Jing? Then there is only one possibility, someone gave her the opportunity. I have to say, you are very brave, the plan of using two women to lure out the five ghosts was successful," said Ye Ling.

Mo Yufeng nodded: "How did you find out?"

"I'm not stupid. The reason you agreed to let Meng Jing stay at my grandparents' house for a month was to give the Five Ghosts time to return. I asked Youlou Master the other day, and he told me that the Five Ghosts have been active in Xidu for the past six months, so it will take a month for them to return. The Five Ghosts are quite skilled in martial arts, and Zhuang Yi is no match for them. So, it's Envoy Mo who will take over the escort."

“Good analysis”

"That day when I told Zhuang Yi that I wanted to take the charge to kill the Five Ghosts, he looked very unnatural."

"When he came back, he told me that his family's envoy didn't know about this plan. What should we do if we have to accept the escort? I told him to accept it and kill the five ghosts. I also didn't let him tell anyone about it. You can't hold a grudge against Zhuang Yi. This happened before you came. He..."

"Okay, okay, am I that kind of petty person? As agreed, I will help you kill the five ghosts, and I will give you 15,000 taels, and you can divide the rest among yourselves," said Ye Ling.

"You two," You Ming Lang finally spoke up: "There's a living person here, are you guys discussing whether to avoid him?"

"Come on, Master Youlou, why are you hiding from your own brothers? Let's go!" Mo Yufeng said casually.

You Ming Lang was stunned on the spot, staring at the two men's backs, unable to calm down for a long time: "Pigeon, did he just say his brothers?"

"Yes, master, all of Senior Feng Qingyang's disciples are very similar, haven't you noticed?" said the pigeon.

Ye Ling turned around and glanced at You Ming Lang, who hadn't followed him, and whispered, "Brother, you're becoming more and more interesting."

"Am I wrong?"

Ye Ling smiled: "Brother, what you said is right."

"You don't believe him?"

"Believe me, I just said it casually"

Mo Yufeng thought for a moment and then said, "I see. You don't trust us, not him?"

Ye Ling smiled mischievously and glanced at Jiu You: "Brother, for now, as a man, I only trust Jiu You. Who knows if you will sell me out and let me count the money? The world is difficult and dangerous, and people are treacherous. Only a golden bell can protect myself."

Mo Yufeng was completely stunned, and spoke after a long while: "Auntie! I... came thousands of miles to find you..."

"You are here to escort the convoy."

"Nonsense, I would have come to Nanlai to find you even without this escort mission." Mo Yufeng clutched his chest and said, "Oh! My heart aches so much. I'm so sincere, yet you doubt me."

Ye Ling placed his hand on Mo Yufeng's shoulder and said, "Brother, listen to me: Sincerity is a card that can be used with any other card, but it can never be used alone. If it is used alone, it will lead to death."

Mo Yufeng still held his chest: "You can call me brother from now on, it sounds comfortable."

"Don't interrupt, I'm telling you the truth"

"knew…"

"Brother Ling, why does going out alone mean death?" Su Su leaned against the car window and heard everything.

"Susu, the best way to protect yourself is: don't overestimate your relationship with anyone, don't overestimate your importance in other people's hearts. The more familiar you are with someone, the more vigilant you should be. Remember: I'm not afraid of tigers and wolves acting intimidatingly, but I'm afraid of people who are two-faced," Ye Ling replied seriously.

Su Su looked at Mo Yufeng, who nodded slightly: "Junior sister, you are right. You must remember this."

"I'm dying!" Ye Ling slapped Mo Yufeng in the face and said, "I told you not to call me Junior Sister."

"Let's make human soup with his internal organs and have a bowl each," Su Su agreed immediately.

Mo Yufeng rubbed his arm quickly: "It hurts so much!"

"Who told you not to control your mouth?"

Mo Yufeng wanted to cry but couldn't. Su Su spoke seriously, "Brother Ling, Brother Mo, I'm afraid of tigers and wolves threatening to attack me in person, and I'm even more afraid of people being two-faced. What should I do? Is there no hope?"

"With my senior brother protecting you, what are you afraid of? And I will protect you too," Ye Ling said with a smile. This girl is really fun.

"Okay," Su Su nodded gratefully.

"Let's go, you two, let's get going."

The group continued to move forward along the official road. Mo Yufeng jumped onto Ye Ling's carriage and said, "Junior sister, I want to talk to you about Su Su. She actually..."

"She is actually not happy and is not valued at home," Ye Ling responded directly.

Mo Yufeng looked incredulous: "How do you know this? From what I know about Susu, she would never tell anyone about these things! Did she tell you?"

"How is that possible? If you want to understand someone, you can't just rely on hearsay, right? I have eyes and a brain, can't I see for myself? Can't I think?" Ye Ling was speechless: "If she was valued, she wouldn't be brought out like this by you. On the other hand, if she was valued, you wouldn't do everything you can to keep her by your side and protect her. On the other hand, if she was valued at home, she wouldn't be pointed at and scolded by a Meng Jing."

For the first time, a bitter smile appeared on Mo Yufeng's face: "Junior sister, I am actually the same as you. I don't trust anyone, so I can only keep Susu under my own eyes and watch her jumping around. Only then can I feel at ease."

“I saw that a long time ago.”

"Langya Pavilion's leader is not like the royal family where the son inherits the father's business, but is appointed according to ability. Therefore, Susu's father has no connection with Langya Pavilion. They have a mansion and fertile land in Zhezhou, and are also one of the most wealthy families."

"Zhezhou lives in the same city as Meng Jing's family, so Meng Jing knows that Susu has a low status in the family, and she looks down on Susu from the bottom of her heart."

Mo Yufeng nodded in affirmation. "You're quite right. Susu's mother had a difficult labor giving birth to her, preventing her from having any more children. So her father remarried and took in a concubine. This woman gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. You can imagine the status of Susu and her mother. When she was eight years old, her mother passed away. In the following years, if Susu hadn't been afraid of the old Pavilion Master's anger, she would have died. Now, the old Pavilion Master is old and about to retire, so the new Pavilion Master must be chosen between the Sect Master and the three Envoys."
