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

Cang Yue State Official Road

In the middle of summer, the weather is only a little bit cooler in the early morning. The people who are in a hurry to get on the road are ready to go. They don't stop all the way. When the sun sets in the west, Youminglang, who is at the front, finds a piece of open space to stop and rest.

As usual, Ye Ling began to prepare a few simple dishes.

Jiuyou set up the tent and went to collect firewood. Not far away, he met Liu Nan and her maid.

Liu Nan knelt slightly and saluted: "Master Jiu, I am Liu Nan, can we get to know each other?"

Jiuyou simply ignored him and walked towards the woods.

The maid was very unhappy: "Miss, isn't he too rude?"

"What do you know? Only capable men are arrogant. He is the junior brother of the leader of Langya Pavilion. If I could become his wife, I wouldn't have to follow Mu Mengruo to the capital. Didn't you see Leng Yan's eyes along the way? It was as if I had eaten a lot of their family's money." Liu Nan said.

"Well...Miss, look at his cold face. I'm a little scared of him."

"It's easy to win a man's heart, just wait and see!" Liu Nan was very confident.

On the other side, Leng Yan came to Ye Ling and said, "Ling'er, your grandfather and father both want you to return to the capital. They want to marry you to a family of high status in Mu Se. You are already twenty-one years old. You can't delay any longer."

Ye Ling sneered, "It's still about this. I've told you before that I have a lover. I feel sick the moment I see those nobles in the capital. Besides, I, Ye Ling, want to be a martial arts master, not a tool for bearing children."

"I know you're skilled in martial arts, and you can become a master, but you can't not get married, right? Are you really going to marry the Third Prince of Xidu? You should at least choose someone from your own family, right? Xidu..."

"Shut up. What about the Third Prince of Xidu? Who told you that? He and I are just ordinary friends. Can you please stop spreading rumors?"

"Okay, but you're old. Who would dare to marry you in the future?"

Ye Ling instantly flew into a rage: "Master Leng, have you forgotten your identity again? Who else would dare to marry me? I don't even look down on a bunch of ugly people. Don't mention this matter again. I've already made a lifelong commitment to Jiuyou."

"What did you say? Are you really planning to marry him? He has no power behind him, and he doesn't even have a family. You marry him..."

"Alright." Ye Ling chopped a cabbage in half with one cut. "It's not your turn to dictate things to Jiuyou. Leng Yan, don't be so stubborn. We're cousins ​​when we meet, but strangers when we don't. You have no right to control me, and my grandfather and uncle have no right to make decisions for me."

"Okay, you made your own choice, we don't care." Leng Yan angrily walked out of the tent and walked quickly back to his own tent.

"What's wrong with you, husband?" Mu Mengruo asked.

"Nothing. Grandfather and father are really stupid. They insisted that I persuade Junior Sister to go back and get married. I've already told you that she's not an ordinary woman. She won't marry according to the rules."

"Husband, they say everyone has their own destiny, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God. My cousin has her own path, and we don't need to interfere. Besides, she's not an ordinary woman. She's the future martial arts master. Who among ordinary men would dare to be with her? Isn't that courting death?"

"You're right. I shouldn't have listened to them and asked Ling'er. I got scolded. What did I do to offend anyone?"

Mu Mengruo smiled and stroked Leng Yan's back: "My husband, don't be angry. Brothers and sisters always quarrel. My cousin and I quarrel all the time. Oh, and I remembered something. Does my cousin's junior brother Jiuyou have a family?"

"Why do you ask?"

"My cousin has taken a fancy to him, and I was wondering if you could act as a matchmaker?"

"She's courting death. Jiuyou is Ling'er's favorite, and they're engaged. Your cousin is truly brave!"

"Ah?" Mu Mengruo was surprised and immediately stood up and ran out of the tent. She came to Liu Nan's tent, but found that there was no one there, so she went out to look for him again.

Here, Liu Nan was waiting at the place where he had just met Jiuyou.

Not long after, Jiuyou and Pigeon each came back with some firewood.

Liu Nan's maid immediately said, "Ninth Young Master, please wait a moment. Our young lady wants to tell you something."

Pigeon looked at Jiuyou in confusion: "What's going on?"

Jiuyou still didn't look away, and walked straight away towards the camp.

Liu Nan stamped her feet in anger: "This guy is really rude."

"Cousin" Mu Mengruo came trotting over and quickly said, "You can't chase Jiuyou. He is Cousin Ye's man. You will be beaten to death."

"What? How is this possible?" Liu Nan was completely unconvinced. "Isn't Ye Ling dating that Third Prince of Xidu? The news has spread all over the martial arts world!"

"Those are all rumors, not true. They are really a couple. Don't do anything stupid. Cousin Ye even dared to kill the prince, let alone you," Mu Mengruo reminded seriously.

Liu Nan glanced at Jiuyou who was lighting a fire not far away. She was unwilling to accept it: "I don't believe they are a couple."

"Cousin, don't be silly."

"Cousin, do you know what love at first sight is? I fell in love with him the moment I saw him yesterday. I've never seen a man as cool and aloof as him."

"Cousin, you've only met a few times, don't be silly, it's impossible for you to be together."

Liu Nan didn't say anything more and just left.

Mu Mengruo looked helpless: "What is this?"

For the next few days, the two teams seemed to be on the same path, but ignored each other. Only Mu Mengruo would go to talk to Ye Ling during her rest time every day. Liu Nan did not give up and looked for Jiuyou several times intentionally or unintentionally, but what awaited her was ignorance.

On the afternoon of the tenth day of June, the group rested in Wucheng and replenished their supplies.

The Leng family naturally stayed in their own shop, while Ye Ling and You Ming Lang opened an inn, as there was no noble house here. The only one missing was Xue Jingchuan. He did not enter the city, and parted ways with Ye Ling at noon. He was going to Phoenix Mountain, and they were going in different directions.

As soon as Ye Ling entered the guest room, she went back to her space and lay down. Her period had come in the past few days, and she was not feeling well at all. She didn't want to move at all.

Jiuyou also entered the space and brought hot water into the bedroom: "Senior Sister, does your stomach still hurt today? Come, drink some hot brown sugar water."

"Thank you, Junior Brother." Ye Ling really enjoyed being served by Jiuyou. "That's good too. When I get to Yunzhou, I can kill everyone."

"Have a good rest today. We don't need to replenish supplies, so we won't be on the streets."

"Okay, where are Brother You and the others?"

"Brother You is resting in the room, and Hu Zi went to the street to buy things." Jiu You said as he tidied up the dressing table in Ye Ling's room. These bottles and jars were a headache for him as an ancient man, and he didn't know what they were used for. However, the face wipes and washes that Meng Meng gave him were very useful, and his skin was obviously getting better and better.

"I can finally lie down on my big Simmons bed and rest, Junior Brother. Pigeon said that you have been very popular recently?" Ye Ling asked with interest.

Jiuyou was stunned for a moment, then continued with his work: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I don't know."

"Miss Liu has flirted with you countless times, why haven't you responded at all?"

"I feel sick just seeing her." Jiuyou was telling the truth. In his eyes, except for Ye Ling, all other women were disgusting.

Ye Ling smiled slightly. To be honest, she didn't take Liu Nan seriously at all. Jiu You was arrogant and would not even look at that kind of woman.

Meng Meng suddenly said: "Master, someone is coming."

Jiuyou instantly left the space, opened the door, and immediately said with a cold face: "Miss Liu, is there something wrong?"

"Oh, my cousin-in-law asked me to deliver a letter to Miss Ye. This is a letter from Duke Leng." Liu Nan volunteered to come, and his purpose was of course to see Jiuyou.

Jiuyou took the letter and prepared to close the door.

"Wait a minute," Liu Nan quickly stopped him, "Nineth Master, can we talk?"

"Not interested, Miss Liu, please go back!" Jiuyou closed the door directly.

Liu Nan stamped her feet in anger: "Jiuyou, how can you be like this? Turning guests away?"

Jiuyou opened the door and said in a cold voice: "Miss Liu, I am not interested in you. You are not qualified. I hope you will not be shameless. Goodbye."

Seeing the door closed again, Liu Nan felt extremely embarrassed, because everyone in the surrounding guest rooms came out to watch the fun, so she could only quickly go downstairs and leave.

Jiuyou returned to the space and looked at the sleeping Ye Ling with tenderness in his eyes. He gently pulled up the quilt for her and asked Mengmeng to turn off the bedroom light. He went to the training room and started practicing martial arts. An hour later, he came to the vault and checked and sorted out the silver and money, which were the capital for their adventures in the world.

More than half an hour later, Ye Ling walked out of the room in a daze: "Mengmeng, where is my man?"

"Senior Sister" Jiuyou came out of the storage room, holding a ledger in her hand: "Are you awake?"

"What are you doing?" Ye Ling sat down on the sofa, and it was obvious that he was still sleepy.

"I've counted all the remaining supplies. This is the record. It's clear at a glance. We'll replenish them when we get to Yunzhou. We still have plenty now." Jiuyou said as he poured Ye Ling a cup of hot water. "Here, take a couple of sips to moisten your throat. Let's go out for dinner."

"Thank you." Ye Ling took the cup of water, took a sip and put it down. He saw the letter on the coffee table and asked, "Is this... mine?"

"The letter from Duke Leng was delivered while you were asleep."

"Oh?" Ye Ling put her feet back, sat cross-legged on the sofa, opened the letter and read it. After a moment, she looked unhappy: "It's just me and others. These people really take themselves too seriously."

"What's wrong?" Jiu You put down the account book and took the letter from Ye Ling. He saw that he was unhappy too. "Duke Leng wants to find you a famous and prestigious family to marry?"

Ye Ling changed her posture, resting her head on Jiuyou's legs and closing her eyes. "I've already replied to his letter in Nanlai. Don't worry about this one. It's very annoying."

Jiuyou wasn't afraid of this at all. He knew Ye Ling would never leave him. He smiled slightly, tidied the hair of the person on his lap, and said softly, "Okay, we can't sleep anymore. Let's go out for dinner and then come back to sleep, okay?"

"No, I want you to stay with me."

"I'll accompany you after dinner, okay? Be obedient."

Ye Ling reluctantly opened his eyes: "Okay!"

Jiuyou smiled happily: "Mengmeng, take us out to eat."
