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

Cang Yue Kingdom - Quezhou - Noble House

Looking at the two happy girls, Yue Chi couldn't help but ask, "You two are not thinking about this for real, are you?"

"Why not?" Ye Ling asked back, "Don't you men also have homosexual tendencies? We women can also like women, because only women can understand women."

"Yes, Sister Ling is rich, skilled in martial arts, and considerate. Who wouldn't like her?" Su Su really likes Ye Ling, but of course, not that kind of like.

"Miss! You are too realistic." Yue Chi shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling disagreed: "Realistic? Men always say women are realistic, but in fact, men are the most realistic. You look down on the ugly, you can't afford the beautiful, you don't cherish the materialistic, and you get hurt by those who fall in love with you. You want to be free, beautiful, have a good temper, and take care of the family. Bah! What a grand dream!"

Su Su clapped his hands directly: "Well said."

Yue Chi felt overwhelmed and looked to Youminglang for help.

You Ming Lang, however, had a gloating look on his face: "Serves you right. You're such a big mouth. Your Night Envoy is not only skilled in martial arts, but also has a sharp tongue. I've known her for so long, and I've never seen anyone say anything bad about her."

Ye Ling continued, "I only care about three things in my life: money, health, and inner peace. Whoever influences me, I will let go of them. I can accept parting ways, and I can also accept the impermanence of life. Instead of holding a broken umbrella, I might as well be free and unrestrained in the rain!"

Yue Chi picked up the wine glass and drank. "I lose this article. Let's change the subject! After years of wandering the world, I lost to a teenage girl."

Ye Ling smiled and said, "You've been around for many years, and you must have cheated a lot of girls, right? It's a pity that your tricks for cheating girls won't work on me. I work for the Anti-Fraud Center. Men say that women are like clothes. If you don't like them, just change them. My dear, let me tell you, men are like socks to me. If they are too long, change them. If they are too short, change them. If they are too loose, change them. If they are too tight, change them. If they are too thin, change them. If they are too thick, change them. If they are pilling, change them. If they are torn, change them. If they are fraying, change them. If they are dirty, don't wash them and just throw them into the toilet. They are all disposable. Change them... the next one is better."

"That's right," Su Su immediately applauded. "Before, I kept silent, didn't talk back, and would just sulk. Now I have changed. I can't stand the slightest grievance. If anyone makes me unhappy, I will fight back. Sister Ling said that this is our first time as a human being, why should I give in to you!"

Yue Chi was speechless for a long time: "I was wrong, ladies, I was wrong. I have hit a wall today."

Ye Ling took a bite of the food. "You can't say that. I've only seen through one thing: who can a woman rely on in her life? When she's tired, she leans on a chair. When she's sick, she leans on a bed. When she's hungry, she leans on food. When she's helpless, she leans on a wall. These days, you can't rely on anyone. You can only rely on yourself. In short, I rely on you."

Yue Chi drank another glass of wine, looked at You Ming Lang and smiled bitterly: "I can't catch it!"

You Ming Lang smiled: "Look, I'm useless. I can't catch it, so I don't dare to say more."

Yue Chi smiled and nodded: "You see, love is an unknown in itself. Although what you said is true, even the weather is ever-changing. Who can guarantee that everything around them will not change? Suddenly, an old friend passed by my heart, and looking back, it was already winter. There are some things that people who come after me cannot give me. There are some things that I cannot give to people who come after me, right?"

"You don't understand clearly!"

"I understand. However, no matter what kind of relationship we have, let's make it better and help each other. If you lend me soy sauce, I'll give you vinegar. But if you pull out my flowers, I'll definitely cut down your trees."

Ye Ling nodded: "I understand. So the principle of being clear-headed in the world is: don't be manipulated, don't believe in promises, don't accept flattery, don't listen to stories, learn to be a Buddhist, do whatever makes you happy, and avoid any uncomfortable relationships. The ultimate freedom is that I can leave anyone and anything that makes me unhappy and just follow my heart!"

"Alas~" Yue Chi sighed, "You're right. Then, may I ask Envoy Ye, what is your life plan? I'd really like to hear your opinion."

"Make money" Ye Ling didn't even think about it, just two words.

Yue Chi waited for a moment, then was surprised: "Is it over?"

"Yup!"

"No, you only live for money in this life?"

"That's right. Money has no temper, but it can make people lose their temper. Money doesn't know right from wrong, but it can make people make mistakes. Money doesn't understand good from bad, but it can make people change from good to bad. Money can witness people's hearts, and money can verify feelings. Money allows you to see clearly who is real and who is fake, and helps you distinguish who is good from bad. If you have money, there will be smiling faces around you; if you have no money, you will hear cold words. Everyone needs money, but not everyone has a conscience. However, you still have to put your character first. Only when you earn money cleanly can you spend it with confidence. Only when you earn money honestly can you use money with peace of mind," Ye Ling explained.

"Money is not everything, but without money, nothing can be done," Youminglang said with a smile.

"Yes, that's what I mean." Ye Ling raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"What you said seems to be right. I have no reason to refute it." Yue Chi was completely discouraged.

The "host" Zhilan walked over gracefully: "Someone is outside looking for Ye...Ye Sishi."

Ye Ling sat up straight instantly: "Male or female? What's their name?"

Zhilan glared at Ye Ling slightly: "She's a woman, her name is Jinniang, and she seems to be a prostitute."

"Didn't I tell you to just let her in?" Youminglang was a little displeased.

"Great, she's here. Brother You, please let her in quickly, otherwise Ling...Brother will be anxious." Su Su was very happy.

Zhi Lan rolled her eyes at Su Su again: "Master, I am also afraid of disturbing the business of the Noble House. After all, she is a prostitute."

Youminglang's face instantly turned dark. Without saying a word, he just gave Zhilan a look.

Zhilan immediately felt a chill on her back: "I'll let her in right away."

"Take her to my room." Ye Ling stood up and said, "Two big brothers, please take good care of Susu for me."

"Don't worry, Miss, I'm here to take care of you," said Yue Chi.

"Wish me good luck," Ye Ling said and walked towards the depths of the corridor.

"Slow down, be careful of your wounds," You Ming Lang said, and then he stood up. "You two should sit down for a while, I'll be right back."

"Master Youlou, you are busy, don't worry about us," Yue Chi said.

After everyone left, Su Su whispered, "Brother Yue, that Zhilan has been giving Sister Ling the cold shoulder these past few days. Sister Ling seems to be particularly tolerant of her. She usually doesn't give in like this."

Yue Chi smiled slightly: "Miss! Do you think you know Ye Sishi well?"

Su Su nodded: "Of course, Sister Ling never tolerates anyone."

"You're wrong," Yue Chi said seriously, "She won't tolerate anyone, but the prerequisite is whether the person is her friend. Although we've only known each other for a few days, I can see clearly that Ye Ling may look heartless, but in fact, he values ​​friendship and loyalty."

Su Su thought for a moment: "You mean Zhilan is her friend? Impossible."

"I say Youminglang, Ye Sishi really treats him as a friend. As the saying goes, when beating a dog, look at the owner! She was afraid that if she confronted Zhilan, Youminglang would be embarrassed, so she chose to tolerate him. Anyway, he would only stay for a few days and then leave. No one would know each other, so there was no need to do that," Yue Chi said.

"I see!" Su Su finally understood and thought for a moment before speaking again, "So, you just said you wanted to pursue Sister Ling, was that true?"

"Hehe..." Yue Chi laughed, "My dear Miss! How can you believe everything? We've only known each other for a few days. I stayed in Quezhou for work, and I come here every day because I'm bored! You're all here, and I'm lonely in the branch hall alone."

"Then what you just said to Sister Ling seems to be true. Sister Ling won't take it seriously, right?"

"Only you would take it seriously. We've been joking the whole time, can't you see? Miss, she's the Langya Pavilion's envoy, not an ordinary girl. Even if I like her, I wouldn't be so frivolous and disrespectful, right? However, I can be sure that we will become good friends."

"Alas~" Su Su could only sigh: "I am the stupidest one."

"Miss, actually, Ye Sishi, at twenty years old, has the mind of a forty-year-old. He is definitely mature beyond his years. I am ashamed of myself!"

"Brother Mo also said what you said. He said Sister Ling is like an old man who has experienced many hardships and sees things too clearly. This is not good."

"Yufeng is right. This is indeed not a good idea. Not leaving a message for others is also not leaving them a way to survive."

While the two of them were chatting back and forth, Zhilan brought Jinniang to the door of Ye Ling's room and said in a cold voice, "The person you are looking for is inside."

"Thank you very much," Jinniang did not forget to say thank you.

Zhilan turned around and left proudly. After a few steps, Hu Zi stopped her and said, "The master asked you to go to his room."

Zhilan immediately smiled happily: "I'll go right away."

Jinniang knocked gently on the door: "Is Master Ye here?"

Ye Ling opened the door and pretended to be surprised: "Why are you here? Come in."

After Jinniang entered the room, Ye Ling closed the door: "Sit down, this place doesn't feel like home, it's a bit messy."

"This is the upper room of the Noble House. It's not messy at all." Jinniang sat at the back and looked around the room. "Master, have you always lived here?"

"Yes, Master Youlou and I are friends. It's more convenient for me to stay at his place and have some tea," said Ye Ling.

"Thank you, sir." Jinniang suddenly knelt on her knees.

"What are you doing? Get up!"

"Thank you, sir, for redeeming my freedom," Jinniang said, bowing her head. "You redeemed me without asking for anything in return. I really don't know how to thank you."

"You get up first," Ye Ling helped him up. "As for me, it's because I see how loyal you are to the one you love, so... this little money is nothing to me. You can live on your own money and wait for Mr. Lu to come."

Jinniang wiped away her tears and said, "Perhaps, he has already given me up. I should find a way out for myself. Waiting in Chunfeng Ferry means death."

"What are you going to do?"

"I... I haven't thought it through yet. I can't survive outside." Jinniang burst into tears again.

"Then...why don't you come to the Guiren Pavilion first? I'll stay here for about a month, otherwise you'll have to buy yourself a house."

"What should I do if I have no financial resources after buying a house?"

“Indeed.”

"Please, Master Meng, tell the Master of Youlou that I can sing and play the instruments. I know all of these."

"That's okay!"

"Thank you for your kindness, sir."
