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

Cang Yue State Official Road

The evening clouds were ablaze red, and smoke curled up from the camp. Looking at the two girls who had returned, Yue Chi proudly introduced them, "Come, come, sit down. See? Three of these five dishes were made by me. The two cold dishes were prepared by Jiuyou, and the three hot dishes were stir-fried by me. Of course, the ingredients are yours. In short, today's meal can be eaten without your help. Come and try it."

"Is this true, Yue Sishi, you can also cook?" Ye Ling was half-believing and half-doubting.

"Brother Yue, can you cook?" Su Su was very curious.

"That's right, Brother Yue, I'm not a rich young master. If I don't know how to cook, I would have starved to death. Come and try it, Master Yuan, come and eat!"

Yuan Jialin came over and sat down awkwardly. Ye Ling and Su Su had ignored him for the past two days. No matter what he said, they never responded.

Ye Ling took a bite and praised repeatedly: "Not bad! Your cooking skills are better than mine. In this world, it's rare to find a man like Yue Sishi who is both civil and military, who can handle both the living room and the kitchen! This is what a real man is!"

"Your junior brother's skills are also good," Yue Chi said with a smile.

"That's a must. No one can compare to my junior brother. He is unique to me." Ye Ling quickly praised the jealous man.

Jiuyou's expression finally softened as he picked up some food for Ye Ling: "Eat more vegetables and don't eat meat all the time. It's not good for your health."

"Okay," Ye Ling was very obedient.

"Cousin, you should eat more too," Yuan Jialin said presumptuously, picking up some food for Su Su.

Su Su immediately picked it up again, still without saying a word, just focusing on eating and completely ignoring Yuan Jialin's existence.

Xiao Yu, one of Yuan Jialin's personal attendants, couldn't stand it any longer. "Cousin, my young master was just drunk that day and made a mistake. He didn't do anything to you, but you were severely injured by someone close to you and slapped in the face by Yue Sishi. Isn't that enough? Why are you still so persistent?"

Ye Ling was instantly upset when she heard this, but before she could say anything, Su Su started to retort: ​​"Do you have to forgive someone just because they are wrong? Is it noble to forgive you? Did you blink when you hurt me? Once is a mistake, twice is a choice, and three times is recklessness. Some mistakes can be made countless times after one. Sometimes being soft-hearted is like turning the knife that others use to stab you. I used to think that people would empathize with others, but now I understand that no matter how good you are to others, in their eyes, outsiders are still outsiders after all. No matter how much you give or how well you do, it seems as if it is their due. Over the years, I have suffered losses because I didn't want to think too badly of others. I always thought that I could exchange people's hearts, but reality tells me that not everyone has a conscience."

"Well said," Ye Ling agreed. "Feed a dog for three days, and it will respect you for three years. Be nice to people for three years, and they'll turn hostile if you're mean to them for one day. Those who stab you in the back are actually acquaintances, because only they know where it hurts the most!"

"Envoy Ye, what you said is a bit serious, isn't it? I was really drunk that day and didn't know anything. It was my fault for losing control after drinking, and I accepted your punishment. Isn't that enough? Why do you keep trying to persuade me to leave instead of trying to make peace?" Yuan Jialin asked unhappily.

Ye Ling smiled: "You slapped me and then said sorry to me. Then can I also chop you with a knife and then say that I lost my temper after drinking? Don't say sorry to me, I'm not as magnanimous as you think. The phrase "let bygones be bygones" is too hypocritical. I'm not magnanimous. I like things to turn around and turn to the death. There's no need to put yourself in a difficult position to please others. Life is actually quite simple. You didn't take me seriously. Your business has nothing to do with me!"

"You... Ye Sishi, I really know I was wrong. Does making a mistake once define me for life? This is too unfair, isn't it?"

Ye Ling's eyes were icy. "Fairness? There's no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. You made a mistake while drunk. If something really happened, how could I make up for it by killing you? How can this be fair?"

"Envoy Ye, don't go too far," Xiao Yu spoke again.

"If you say one more word, I'll sew your mouth shut." Ye Ling was really angry. "I used to hear that if you can be patient, you'll be at peace; if you take a step back, you'll have a bright future. But I later realized that was wrong. In today's world, if you can be patient, you'll get more pushovers; if you take a step back, you'll get rude. So you can't tolerate it. It'll only lead to bad habits."

"Envoy Ye, we are discussing how to solve the problem. Why are you always so stubborn? Your temper is too bad." This was the first time Yuan Jialin met someone like Ye Ling.

"Haha..." Ye Ling found it funny: "Yuan Jialin, you can't control me, and you insist on saying that I have a bad temper. How do you define me? With your broken mouth? I am the master of my own world, and it's not up to anyone to say anything. When my heart is soft, I can forgive anything, but when my heart is hard, I am the fucking whole world."

"Can you please stop swearing?" Yuan Jialin was almost mad.

"Yuan Jialin, listen carefully. I am a loner, I follow my own ways, and I don't care about the consequences. I don't look for trouble when there is none, and I won't bother you when there is trouble. I promise that if you are well-mannered, I will maintain my manners and will not use foul language towards you." Ye Ling did not give in at all.

"You...you've gone too far." Yuan Jialin felt like crying.

Ye Ling smiled evilly: "If the east is dark, the west will be bright. If the south is dark, the north will be bright. You are what you are, idiot."

"Puff~ Hehe..." Yue Chi finally couldn't hold it in and almost choked to death on a mouthful of food: "Cough cough... Haha..."

The cousins ​​named Di who were listening to the excitement turned around and left one by one, and only dared to laugh after they had gone far away.

Yuan Jialin bit his lip, a hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes: "Cousin, what exactly do you want me to do to forgive me? As long as you are willing to forgive me, I will agree to any conditions."

Su Su raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had heard something funny: "Any conditions? If I ask you to disappear from my sight forever, will you agree?"

Yuan Jialin was stunned. She didn't expect Su Su to make such a decisive request. But after a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, when I get back, I won't disturb your life again."

"Then let's eat." Su Su couldn't stop laughing. Her sister Ye was really the best at scolding people.

Yuan Jialin took two steamed buns, stood up and walked away. Staying here would be humiliating.

Yue Chi finally dared to speak: "Envoy Ye, how can you curse so well? Who did you learn this from?"

"I learned it by myself and can speak it fluently," Ye Ling said with a smile.

Yue Chi shook his head: "From now on, if anyone challenges you, they will be asking for humiliation. They can neither scold nor fight!"

“It’s not that serious.”

The few of them had dinner happily. Su Su and Ye Ling took the initiative to carry two basins of dishes to the river to wash them. After all, the meal was cooked by someone else, so it was fair that they should wash them.

Su Su was a little smart, she pulled Ye Ling's basin over and said, "Sister, just sit and watch, I'll wash it."

"It's faster if we wash together. You always rush to do the work. You don't act like a rich lady at all," Ye Ling said with a smile.

"I'm not a rich girl, I'm my sister's younger sister. Sister, you protect me even more than Brother Mo. I'm so happy. I'm fearless by your side." Su Su's delicate little face was full of smiles.

Ye Ling reached out and pinched Su Su's cute little face: "Little girl, your words are getting sweeter and sweeter."

As the two were laughing, they suddenly heard the melodious sound of a flute. The sound was ethereal and graceful, as if carrying a mysterious magic. Curious, Su Su stood up and looked, only to see a man in white, with an ethereal air, walking towards them from the other side of the river.

Su Su's eyes lit up and she whispered, "Sister, this person seems like a god."

Ye Ling frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy. The man's appearance was too sudden, and the sound of the flute seemed to have a bewitching power.

The man in white slowly approached and stopped at the shore. His eyes fell on Ye Ling, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he spoke in a voice as gentle as jade, "Excuse me, ladies. I just heard the laughter here and followed the sound here."

Su Su responded with a smile: "Sir, your flute sounds really nice."

Ye Ling ignored her and continued washing the dishes.

The man paused briefly before speaking again: "My name is Xiao Yi, and I'm a wandering musician. May I know what your names are, young ladies?"

"What's wrong?" Yue Chi walked over.

Xiao Yi immediately recognized Yue Chi: "So it's Yue Sishi from Langya Pavilion! Nice to meet you."

Yue Chi thought for a moment and asked, "Are you the musician from three years ago? Xiao...Xiao Yi?"

"That's me. I was just attracted by the laughter of these two beauties, so I came over to take a look. Who are they...?"

"Oh, this is Miss Su, the granddaughter of our old Pavilion Master, and also the wife of Envoy Mo."

"Madam Mo, I'm so sorry," Xiao Yi said with a bow. "I was invited by Envoy Mo to perform music at your wedding. Our entire band is camped there. Three years ago, thanks to Envoy Mo for saving our lives and rescuing us from the bandits' den, we're here to repay him."

"What a coincidence! I heard from Yufeng that you were coming, but I didn't expect to meet you here," said Yue Chi.

Xiao Yi's gaze fell on Ye Ling: "This young lady doesn't look like a mortal!"

"Hehe..." Yue Chi smiled: "Master Xiao has good taste. This young lady is the envoy of our Renzi Hall, Ye Ling Ye Sishi."

Xiao Yi's eyes lit up: "Envoy Ye? This is a figure that shocked the martial arts world! I am fortunate to meet him today."

Ye Ling reluctantly stood up and bowed in return, only smiling slightly: "Brother Yue, we are done washing, we will leave first."

Su Su also picked up the basin and followed Ye Ling back.

Xiao Yi's gaze followed Ye Ling as she walked away: "Is she the woman who appeared on the Nirvana in Fire? She doesn't seem like the woman!"

"What's the difference?"

"She was washing dishes?"

"Yes, I cook the meal and she washes the dishes," Yue Chi said with a smile.

"You cooked the meal?" Xiao Yi was shocked again.

"Okay, it's getting dark, let's get some rest and then set off together tomorrow. We'll be going the same way."

"Okay, thank you, Envoy Yue. Go back and rest now!"

Yue Chi nodded, turned and left.
