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

Cangyue Kingdom - Quezhou - Chunfengdu

Rou'er led Ye Ling all the way inside until they reached the last room. She knocked gently on the door: "Sister Jinniang? I'm Rou'er."

After a moment, the door opened and a young girl, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood inside. "What's going on?"

"Sister Jinniang, a young man wants to see you," Rou'er said, looking at Ye Ling.

Jinniang was a little stunned the moment she saw Ye Ling: "Sir, I don't accept guests."

"Miss, you've misunderstood. I simply want to have a few drinks with you. I have no intention of crossing the line. Could you please do me a favor?" Ye Ling nodded slightly.

Jinniang hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Let Rou'er come along too!"

"Of course no problem," Ye Ling agreed readily. The first step in fishing is not to rush, but to learn to proceed step by step.

Ye Ling immediately ordered the dishes to be served, and soon the food and wine were on the table.

The three of them drank and chatted, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

"Why did you come here to drink with me, sir?" Jinniang asked curiously.

Ye Ling smiled faintly and said mysteriously, "I've heard that Miss Jinniang is as beautiful as a flower and extremely talented. Seeing her today, I can see that her reputation is well-deserved. I've only come here because I admire her reputation and want to see her beauty."

Jinniang lowered her head shyly, secretly delighted. She raised her wine glass, took a sip, and said in a delicate voice, "Sir, you are too kind. How could I have deserved such a reputation as yours to come here?"

Seeing this, Ye Ling took the opportunity to say, "Young lady, you are a beauty, why do you have to belittle yourself?"

"Thank you for the compliment, sir."

The two chatted happily, and Rou'er, who was standing by, would occasionally interject, making the three of them laugh.

After about half an hour, Ye Ling stood up and left: "Thank you for your kindness today, Miss. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, young master," Jinniang said as she walked to the door and bowed slightly.

Ye Ling returned to the private room and called Cai Yang, who had been feeling very uneasy for a long time. "Let's go. Let's call it a day."

Cai Yang quickly stood up, he didn't want to stay for a moment.

As they were going downstairs, Cai Yang suddenly grabbed Ye Ling and whispered, "Secretary, did you see that bearded guy over there? He's Langya Pavilion's most wanted criminal. Three years ago, he tried to steal a confidential document from Langya Pavilion, but was caught red-handed by Secretary Mo. Since then, he's been like a nobody, never expecting to be living it up here."

"What do you mean? Should I kill him? Or capture him alive?" Ye Ling asked.

"Wait a minute, Si Shi, go up first." Cai Yang pulled Ye Ling's wrist and turned to go upstairs and return to the private room.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ling was puzzled.

"Didn't you see the person who just came in through the door?" Cai Yang asked back.

Ye Ling looked out the window of the private room towards the lobby on the first floor: "Why does this person look so familiar? Where have I seen him before?"

"He is Zhao Lei, the head of the Yuncheng branch," Cai Yang reminded.

"Yes, yes, yes. I was wondering why he looked familiar. He was the one who cursed me in a sarcastic tone." Ye Ling holds a grudge.

"He is just a hall master. It is not his place to interfere in the affairs of our Renzi Hall. You can curse him back, or even use violence," said Cai Yang.

"That's not right!" Ye Ling stared at the first floor, not listening to Cai Yang's words: "Look, wasn't that guy said to be Langya Pavilion's most wanted criminal? How come he came upstairs with Zhao Lei from over there? They were still talking, so they must know each other!"

"All local hall masters are not allowed to leave without permission. This Zhao Lei is quite bold. Not only did he leave his post without permission, he also colluded with wanted criminals." Cai Yang was so angry that his teeth were itching.

"What do we do now?"

"Although this matter belongs to the Dizi Hall, it is related to the Langya Pavilion and must be taken care of." Cai Yang is really concerned about the Langya Pavilion.

"Should we rush into the private room and catch them now? There are only two of us here. What if Zhao Lei turns against us and accuses us of framing him?"

"But we can't just ignore it! You are the envoy."

“No, I said I’m quitting.”

"Then go back to Langya Pavilion and tell the old Pavilion Master in person, and then tell him you're quitting."

"You... okay, so, if arresting Zhao Lei doesn't work, it's reasonable to arrest the wanted criminal, right? Is this the job of Renzitang?" Ye Ling asked.

"that is"

"That's all, let's go find a place outside to wait. No matter what, first catch this wanted criminal, then see how Zhao Lei reacts, and then you can report this to Langya Pavilion."

"This person's martial arts skills are not very good, but his Qinggong skills are good."

"Do you doubt my ability?" Ye Ling asked.

"That's not what I meant."

"Then leave quickly!"

The two of them went out and found an inconspicuous corner to wait. Cai Yang stared at the entrance of Chunfeng Ferry without blinking.

Ye Ling took out a recliner from the space in the dark alley, lay down and waited.

Cai Yang turned around unintentionally and asked: "Where did this stool come from?"

"I don't know. I just left it here. I'm too tired. You keep an eye on it. Call me when the person comes out." Ye Ling closed his eyes and rested.

Ye Ling had not slept for long when a strong internal force came from deep in the alley and headed straight for Cai Yang.

Ye Ling suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, intercepted the internal force and fought back.

"Si Shi" Cai Yang immediately drew his sword and entered combat state. If it weren't for Ye Ling, he would have died here tonight.

Ye Ling raised her hand to signal him not to panic: "Keep an eye on the door and don't let that wanted criminal get away. If you're sneaky and use some covert tactics, come out and fight me in a one-on-one duel if you dare."

The murderous aura slowly retreated from the darkness. Cai Yang stared at the door and asked, "Envoy, do you want to give chase?"

"No need. What if we try to lure the tiger away from the mountain? With this kind of tactics, if you think your life is too long, you can chase him. But you bastard, you hit him once and then run away. You're trying to sneak attack me. I can't afford to play this game. You little trash," Ye Ling muttered and cursed.

"It's out," Cai Yang said.

"Zhao Lei is not with us. So, you wait and follow Zhao Lei. Don't alert the enemy. I will catch this wanted criminal," Ye Ling said.

"Si Shi..." Cai Yang hesitated to speak.

"you do not trust me?"

"No, sir... where is he being held now that we have captured him? I don't trust the people from the Quezhou branch very much," said Cai Yang.

"Well, I'll find a place to lock him up. Don't worry about it. Just have someone there when we leave."

"Thank you, Sir. I obey your orders."

"what is his name?"

"No name, nicknamed Loach"

"That's pretty ugly." Ye Ling immediately followed Niu Qiu and disappeared in the crowd.

Loach stumbled all the way and entered an alley to relieve himself. While he was doing so, Ye Ling appeared behind him, carrying a baseball bat.

Loach sensed someone behind him and half sobered up. He quickly pulled up his pants and turned to look at Ye Ling: "You little bastard, are you looking for death?"

"Are you Loach? I heard that you are very powerful, so I came here to challenge you," Ye Ling said with a smile.

"Looking for death!" said the loach and attacked immediately. His martial arts were indeed like a loach, slippery.

Ye Ling dodged the attack by leaning sideways, then swung the baseball bat hard and hit the loach in the belly.

The loach felt pain and its movements became slow.

Ye Ling took advantage of the opportunity and rushed forward, attacking continuously and forcing Loach to retreat step by step.

Finally, Ye Ling kicked Niu Qiu to the ground and raised the baseball bat to give him the final blow.

"Wait!" Loach shouted, "Who are you? Why are you bothering me?"

Ye Ling sneered: "I am your grandfather." After that, she swung the baseball bat without hesitation and hit Loach's head hard.

The loach fell to the ground and lost consciousness. At this moment, the powerful internal force just now hit him again.

Ye Ling was startled and quickly turned around to look. He saw a mysterious black shadow appear like a ghost.

Ye Ling quickly swung the baseball bat to defend himself, but the opponent was extremely fast and Ye Ling gradually fell into a disadvantage.

At the critical moment, Ye Ling drew out her two swords and began to fight seriously, but the opponent predicted her every move and dodged them accurately.

After hundreds of moves, the two had fought for more than half an hour. Ye Ling was obviously no match for her opponent. If the opponent had not intentionally given in, she would have lost long ago.

At this moment, Ye Ling suddenly stopped: "No more fighting, no more fighting, I'm so tired, and I've digested everything I ate in the afternoon," and she put away the knife.

The other party then put the sword back into his waist and said slowly: "You little girl, your progress is really remarkable. It's rare that you can withstand so many of my moves."

Ye Ling was truly exhausted and sat down on the ground. "Master, why did you come out like this? You started fighting the moment we met. Am I really your disciple?"

"You little bitch, how did you curse me at the entrance of the alley just now?" Feng Qingyang took off his cloak. Although he was in his fifties, he didn't look old at all. Instead, he looked like an immortal and full of righteousness.

"Master~" Ye Ling climbed up and acted coquettishly: "I didn't do it on purpose. You didn't use your internal energy, so I didn't feel it!"

Feng Qingyang, the "slippery tongue", had a look of absolute doting on him, and then looked at Niu Qiu: "What are you going to do with him?"

"Cai Yang said he doesn't trust the people from the Quezhou branch. So I can only let Youminglang keep him for me first. He is very important to Langya Pavilion. Oh, and he will be meeting with Zhao Lei, the head of Yuncheng Hall, tonight. Cai Yang is following him."

"Yue Chi is in Quezhou. He came into the city with me in the evening. He is investigating this matter and is also following Zhao Lei. You can teach him the people. Although you are of the same level, the Dizi Hall is responsible for this matter."

"Okay! It saves me from going to the Guiren Pavilion." Ye Ling was most afraid of trouble, so this time it was much more convenient.

Feng Qingyang launched a signal flare into the air, and soon a man arrived, followed by a dozen guards. When they saw Feng Qingyang, they all bowed and said, "Senior Feng."

"Ling'er, this is Yue Chi, the Director of the Di Zi Hall," Feng Qingyang introduced.

Before Ye Ling could speak, the people following Yue Chi bowed and said in unison, "Greetings to Envoy Ye."

Ye Ling bowed awkwardly: "We are brothers, no need to be so polite. Um, Yue Sishi, I will give you the loach. Master and I will leave."

"Thank you, Envoy Ye," Yue Chi said politely, "Senior Feng, thank you for your help."

"Okay, I won't go with you guys anymore. I'm going back with this girl."

"Goodbye, senior." Yue Chi bowed and looked at the person walking away: "It seems that Mo Yufeng was not lying. His junior sister is indeed very beautiful."

"He was really brutal!" said a guard who was checking on Mudfish. "This guy was beaten so badly that not a single spot on his body remained intact. It was too brutal!"

"How can one be the envoy of the Renzi Hall if he is not ruthless?"

"Right"

"Okay, take the man away. I'll go find Cai Yang and help him capture Zhao Lei as well." Yue Chi said and left.

The others took the loach's body back to the branch hall.
