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

Cang Yue Kingdom——Langya Pavilion

Ye Ling ate his fill on the durian tree and filled his space with countless durians before planning to go down. There were only four durians in his backpack. It was easy to go up, and even easier to go down. He reached the ground in no time.

"Miss, are you okay?" Qian Qing immediately covered her nose after saying this: "It stinks! Is it broken?"

Ye Ling looked at the grinning Shadow Ninja and asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you with your prince? Aren't you afraid that he'll be killed by his enemies? It's not good to die young."

Kangda lowered his head and kept silent. His driver was too sharp-tongued and started cursing right away.

Ying Ren was at a loss for words: "Miss Ye, you can't curse my prince like that!"

"I'm a person who tells the truth by nature. What are you doing here? Following me?"

"I dare not, I dare not. Your Highness... Your Highness came here to sit down. I heard your maid calling, so I came to see what was going on." Ying Ren did not mention Yelu Zong Zheng, because his prince was meeting with the prince of another country in private, and this matter must not be known to others.

"Sit down? Where does he sit?"

"Servant, you must be tired. Let's go to the pavilion to rest and chat while we rest," Kanda interrupted.

"Pavilion?" The shadow ninja felt guilty: "Um...our prince is in the pavilion, he...he wants to sit alone."

"Hey! This is Langya Pavilion. I can go wherever I want. If he wants to be alone, he can go home," Ye Ling scolded.

"Miss Ye, I'm sorry, it's really... the prince has been feeling unwell these past two days and is sick. I'm afraid of infecting the public, so... please," Shadow Ninja pleaded.

Ye Ling stared straight at Yingren, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Your prince is not alone, right? You look so guilty, is he with that woman again?"

"No, no, don't misunderstand!"

Ye Ling understood immediately, knowing that Nangong Chen must be meeting someone in secret, but she just didn't want to leave: "Yingren, listen carefully, this is Langya Pavilion, you are guests, and I have never heard of anyone taking over my place."

"That's not what I meant." Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Yingren immediately took a step back and said, "Well, you have a lot of things, so go slowly. I'll go tell the prince first and ask him to prepare."

"Stop!" Ye Ling stopped Ying Ren and said slowly, "I can also not go there and return home, but I need hush money. It's not much, just one thousand taels. Otherwise, I will make a fuss when I get back. Tomorrow, everyone in Langya Pavilion will know about your prince's secret meeting with his lover in the orchard. Think it over carefully."

The Shadow Ninja swallowed and said, "Why is it money right from the start?"

"Because I love money! Hurry up, I'm telling you, if you don't agree today, even if I don't go to the pavilion, I will still be guarding the orchard gate. I want to see who this monster is that dares to compete with me for territory. Don't you want to die?"

"Okay, I'll go ask the prince."

"I will go with you"

"I promise, I promise," the Shadow Ninja said, convinced. "I'll send the money to Renzitang tomorrow, okay?"

"That's better. So, please help me take this backpack back. I can't carry it anymore." Ye Ling did not forget to use the slave shadow to help him once.

"Give me a hundred taels and let me try." The shadow ninja wanted to turn the tables.

Ye Ling opened his eyes wide: "Boy, you can do it! Now you are asking me to do something, so forget it if you don't want to. I will probably be tired when I reach the orchard gate, and when I am tired, I will rest. I don't know when this rest will end, so I will catch him in the trap."

Shadow Ninja was about to cry, "Okay, you go ahead and wait at the orchard entrance. I'll be there later, okay?"

"Find another person, our Qianqing won't be able to carry it."

"Okay," the Kagenin could only agree with a smile.

Ye Ling carried the backpack: "Hurry up, I'll wait for you at the door."

"Sure, sure." The Shadow Ninja hurried to the pavilion.

Qian Qing and Kang Da finally laughed out loud. Kang Da was convinced: "Sir, you are too good! You got a thousand taels in one go!"

"Nangong Chen must have some secrets that he doesn't want others to know, so we have the upper hand. In this case, we have to get some benefits," said Ye Ling.

"Miss, you really know how to make money," Qianqing gave a thumbs up.

"Let me tell you two, as long as a woman doesn't fall in love, she can make money ten times faster than a man. Many women are rich girls who are delayed by love. Remember, never get carried away by a man's 'baby'. Making money is the key project. As long as you are rich, you will be destined to be with anyone," said Ye Ling.

"Sir, you are really different from all other women!" Kunda exclaimed.

Ye Ling smiled and said, "As a person, you can either be like a hot pepper, passionate! Or like a cabbage, well-organized! Or like a lotus root, careful and attentive. I'm different. I'm like a rolling pin, straight!"

"Haha..." Kangda and Qianqing both thought about it.

Qian Qing said, "My young lady's mood swings are huge. Sometimes she's happy, and then suddenly her expression changes, so that others can't see through her."

"Sometimes happy, sometimes depressed, sometimes confused, sometimes sober, but still kind. It's a momentary emotion, a momentary temper, but it can only be a moment, because we are adults," said Kanda.

Ye Ling was a little interested: "Kangda, you can say such words, which makes me look at you with new eyes! You have a bright future, keep it up!"

"Thank you, sir."

While the conversation was going on, Nangong Chen, after hearing what Yingren said, smiled and held his forehead: "One thousand taels, she is really going to take advantage of the situation!"

Shadow Ren had a face full of bitterness and hatred: "Your Highness, Miss Ye said that if you don't give it to her, she will stay at the entrance of the orchard today. There is only one exit here!"

Yelu Zongzheng laughed happily: "This Night Envoy is quite interesting! It's a pity that I'm with you today and it's not convenient for me to see her."

"Alas~" Nangong Chen sighed helplessly: "One thousand taels is one thousand taels, give it to her."

"There's one more thing. She said her backpack was too heavy and asked her servants to send it back to her. She also wanted to bring someone else to carry it for her maid. If this is not agreed, she will not leave."

"Take someone with you." Nangong Chen was overwhelmed.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Shadow Ninja bowed and left, taking a guard with him.

Yelu Zongzheng said with a smile: "It seems that Ye Sishi really hates you! He is targeting you in various ways."

"You think I'm lying to you?"

"If your father knew you had met me, something bad might happen again."

"You and I are just friends, we just met, he can think whatever he wants."

"You! You're just too hot!"

At this moment, Ye Ling had already arrived at the door and was waiting: "Kangda, I have a task for you. Find a few brothers who can hold their liquor well and knock down the Shadow Ninja for me tonight."

"That's absolutely no problem," Kunda said with a smile.

They didn't have to wait long before Shadow Ninja arrived: "Miss Ye, I'm here to help you. Here's a thousand taels of silver, keep it."

"King Beichen is indeed generous, thank you." Ye Ling took the money without hesitation.

Including Wanqi, the group of six returned with a full load. It took them about half an hour to reach Xianren Peak, and the sun had already set.

Qian Qing hurried into the kitchen to work. Ye Ling sat in the courtyard. "Yingren, you, sit down and talk to me for a few minutes. Tell this guard to go back and tell King Beichen that he might not be able to return tonight. Tell him not to worry."

"Miss Ye..."

"Call Sishi" Ye Ling interrupted Yingren: "Don't make excuses, you can't beat me."

The shadow ninja wanted to cry but couldn't: "Okay, you go back and tell His Highness, I will be back later."

"Yes," the guard bowed and left.

Ye Ling smiled slightly: "Sit down and talk to me."

The Shadow Ninja could only bite the bullet and sit down: "Night Envoy, you go."

Half an hour later, the guard returned to Heming Pavilion and reported, "Your Highness, Captain Ying said he would be back later. Envoy Ye said Captain Ying would not be back tonight, and asked me to tell you."

"Was he detained? Or did he come voluntarily?" Xuan Lei asked.

"Envoy Ye wouldn't let him go and threatened Captain Ying that he couldn't beat her," the guard reported truthfully.

Nangong Chen waved his hand: "Go down!"

"Your Highness, how about I go and bring him back?" Xuan Lei asked.

"If you go, neither of you will come back. Okay, I'll be back tomorrow."

"Yes"

After nightfall, Xianren Peak became bustling with activity. Bicheng brought Kanda and Li Ye, who had just returned, to drink some Yingnin wine.

Ye Ling was in charge of cheering and urging everyone to drink. After drinking countless cups, Yingren felt something was wrong and had to resort to the worst possible strategy of pretending to be drunk. The result was perfect.

Ye Ling had the drunken Yingren carried to the guest room to rest, and the drinking party was dispersed. Of course, as for the durian, Ye Ling was still the only one who ate it. Qian Qing vomited after taking a bite. Others didn't even dare to smell it, let alone eat it.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Ying Ren sneaked out of the Immortal Peak and hurried back, swearing that he would never come back with Ye Ling in this life, as it was too painful.

The light in Mo Yufeng's Ganlu Palace study was still on. He was having a drink with Ji Ruochen and Yue Chi, just to relax.

Ma Tao walked in: "Master, two envoys, I just received news that something happened today."

Yue Chi looked at Ma Tao: "Why are you smiling so happily?"

"Envoy Ye went to the orchard today and caught the two princes red-handed!"

"What? Junior sister saw them together?" Mo Yufeng was obviously frowning.

"No, Envoy Ye asked for 1,000 taels of hush money before he left with the fruit. Moreover, he asked King Beichen's guards to take her back to the Immortal Peak, detained her, and made her drunk. But the guard was very smart. He pretended to be drunk and left secretly," Ma Tao said in one breath.

Mo Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you didn't see it. It's just that this one thousand taels is a bit... well, that's a bit much."

"I think it's reasonable," Yue Chi said. "Why should these two guests occupy the orchard? This is Langya Pavilion. But why do I never encounter such a good opportunity to make money easily?"

Mo Yufeng was speechless: "Can you please not learn from your junior sister?"

"You are wrong. As Ye Sishi said, making money is the most important thing in life. Everything else is just a passing cloud. If you have money, you have everything," Yue Chi retorted unconvinced.

"Only people who are insecure are so obsessed with making money," Ji Ruochen said slowly.

Mo Yufeng listened carefully and asked, "Are you saying that Junior Sister actually doesn't feel safe?"

"I have also read about her life over the past 20 years. Her fate has been full of twists and turns, and Canada and China have undergone tremendous changes. For such a person, it is already lucky that she has not gone astray. How can she feel safe? Some childhood shadows will accompany a person for a lifetime," said Ji Ruochen.

Several people were silent. They all came from the underworld, had no parents, and were alone. Naturally, they all had their own pain points deep in their hearts.
