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

Cangyue Kingdom's Yunzhou City

The next morning, Ye Ling left a letter for Jin Yu and left. Of course, he also asked Ying Ren to bring people from the prefectural office and reward money to the land temple outside the city at 2:00 p.m.

Shadow Blade was skeptical, but still agreed.

Before noon, the killers arrived at the land temple one after another, among them was Zhui Feng Zhu Ri.

Ye Ling counted, and when everyone arrived, she kicked open the door of the land temple.

The temple suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the woman who came in.

Ye Ling turned around, closed the door, walked to the top of the stairs, and began to introduce himself: "Dear heroes, I am the target you are going to kill this time."

"Are you Ye Ling?" someone called out.

"Yes, my name is Ye Ling." Ye Ling bowed.

"Haha..." Zhuri laughed loudly: "Miss Ye is not only good at martial arts, but also a beauty! Why don't you follow me and you won't have to die."

"Shut up!" Zhuifeng said sternly, "Who would come out and seek death? There must be something wrong."

"Everyone, I'll call out names. Please answer when I call." Ye Ling began to look through the wanted posters: "Chasing the wind and the sun, killing people and setting fires, committing all kinds of evil. The reward is two thousand taels of silver."

"Here" Zhuri is not afraid at all.

"Liu Dandan, kidnapping and trafficking children and harming women, reward of 1,500 taels of silver."

"That's me," a bearded man responded.

"Liu Danyi, you are not good enough either, it's only 1,500 taels," said the other man holding a spear with a smile.

Ye Ling was curious: "So you are better than him?"

"Of course I will. I'm not talented enough, Crazy Zhou, but I've raped and murdered countless young women. Lady Night, do you want to try it too? There are so many men here today, I'll definitely let you know what it means to be in ecstasy, haha..."

For a moment, everyone laughed. They felt that they had more strength than others, so they didn't take Ye Ling seriously at all.

Ye Ling smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, then I won't call the roll. Let's get down to business!"

"Did you hear that? Lady Night wants to get down to business." Zhu Dian stepped forward with a wretched look on his face. "Lady Night, where's your Yin-Yang Blade? Can't you lift it? Don't worry, brother will make you feel comfortable."

Ye Ling smiled harmlessly, but in just a moment, the Yin-Yang Sword appeared out of thin air. Zhu Ri had no time to react and was killed on the spot.

The temple fell silent again, and everyone was shocked.

Until Zhuifeng reacted and shouted, "Second brother."

"Kill her!" Liu Danyi shouted.

Ye Ling's lips curled slightly, and he responded with two swords. Although the crowd outnumbered, they found it difficult to close in. Zhui Feng shouted and rushed forward, thrusting his longsword straight at Ye Ling's face. Ye Ling dodged easily by leaning sideways, then slashed at Zhui Feng with his backhand.

Zhuifeng quickly drew his sword to block, but felt his arm go numb and was sent flying several meters away, falling to one knee and spitting blood. At this moment, Crazy Zhou also attacked from the side. Ye Ling leaped up, stepped on the opponent's spear to gain momentum, and flipped in the air, pouncing on Crazy Zhou, killing him with a single blow.

Ye Ling's fierce attack struck fear into the hearts of the other assassins. But they knew that if they retreated now, they would not leave the temple alive. So, they all looked at each other and decided to attack Ye Ling together. Ye Ling showed no fear, swiftly spinning his blades in both hands, forming a shield of blade light. The assassins' weapons were deflected, and many were injured.

In less than a quarter of an hour, there were only a few people left alive in the temple, but they had lost their fighting ability as their martial arts had been destroyed by Ye Ling. This battle allowed everyone to see what a master of the Langya List was like.

At this moment, the temple door was opened again, and Shadow Blade came with his men. When they saw the scene, they looked at each other in shock.

Ye Ling wiped the knife slowly and said, "You came quite quickly! Fifteen thousand four hundred taels. Check the number of people and settle the bill."

"Why are you standing there? Face the person!" Shadow Blade said.

"Yes, hurry up and do it to the people," said the general who came with Shadow Blade.

Shadow Blade walked up to Ye Ling and asked in a low voice, "Miss Ye, how did you gather them together?"

"You pay the money, I do the work, and I don't ask about the process. This is the rule of bounty hunters, right?" Ye Ling asked back.

Shadow Blade could only nod: "Indeed, I won't ask any more questions. Miss Ye has really helped the court this time! You've eliminated so many troubles at once."

"Really?" Ye Ling smiled slightly: "Little brother, as a friend, can you do me a small favor?"

"No problem, it's a courtesy, I'm happy to do it."

Ye Ling handed Ying Ren a small note: "When you get back, take your time to read it. This isn't a matter of urgency."

"Okay, no problem." Shadow Blade put the note away.

The general came over and said, "Captain Ying, everything matches up. They are all the people on the wanted list, and the money is fine."

"Then let's pay the bill!"

The general waved his hand, and four soldiers carried two wooden boxes into the room. "Miss Ye, here are 15,400 taels, not a cent less. There are banknotes and silver. You can count them."

"No need, I trust Captain Ying, and I trust King Shan even more," Ye Ling said.

"Thank you for your trust, Miss Ye." The general admired Ye Ling from the bottom of his heart: "Miss Ye, this is quite heavy. Do you want the brothers to carry it to you?"

"How did you get it?" Ye Ling asked.

"It was brought by a carriage."

"Then sell me your carriage."

"No need," Shadow Blade said, "It's just a horse and a cart. You can take it away, General Li, and have someone carry Miss Ye onto the cart."

"Thank you, little brother. We'll say goodbye now. Goodbye!"

"Bon voyage" Shadow Blade bowed.

Ye Ling happily drove away in the carriage. General Li then spoke, "Captain Ying, this is a true master! The troublemakers in the yard are not easy to deal with, but she dealt with them all without any harm."

"Master of the Nirvana in Fire, do you think this is a joke?" Shadow Blade said.

General Li nodded: "A master-level figure!"

Ye Ling arrived at a deserted place and put the two boxes of silver in a space for Jiuyou to sort out. She drove the carriage all the way towards Qingzhou, intending to find someone to buy the carriage. It would be a pity to throw it away. Even if the sparrow is small, it still has meat!

In the evening, Ye Ling finally got rid of the carriage, and the first thing he did after returning to the space was to take a bath.

A quarter of an hour later, he lay on the sofa, half dead, and said, "I can finally lie down."

"Master, Jiuyou is busy in the kitchen!" Mengmeng flew over and said.

Ye Ling stood up and walked towards the room decorated in ancient style. She pushed the door open and saw Gu Enze playing with building blocks alone. She lay down on the couch and planned to take a nap.

Gu Enze came to the soft couch: "Sister, play."

"Be good, go and play. I'm tired and need a nap," Ye Ling coaxed softly.

Gu Enze was really obedient. He turned around, walked to the building blocks, sat down, and played alone again.

At the same time, in a room in Yunzhou, a man with half his face covered was surprised: "What did you say? Everyone is dead?"

"Yes, it was too late when I arrived. All the government officials had already arrived. I don't know how Ye Ling got the news, but he had been waiting at the land temple and wiped them out all at once. We didn't have time to notify them," said the man in black.

"Are there any survivors?"

"Yes, about four. They were taken away by the authorities. They were Shadow Blade, the captain of the guards of King Kaoshan."

The half-masked man thought for a moment before speaking, "Everyone who has direct contact with these Jianghu people, gather them all and meet me here. Go quickly and return quickly."

"Yes," the man in black replied and left.

About a quarter of an hour later, two rows of men in black stood neatly in the courtyard.

A man with half his face covered came out of the room and asked, "Is everyone here?"

"Captain, everyone is here."

"That's good." The man with half his face covered drew his sword instantly, and in an instant, he was the only one standing in the yard.

Then he set the yard on fire. He had to do this to kill the witness and not cause trouble for his master.

The man in black who had gathered everyone before the "Captain" came back and asked, "What do we do now?"

"Leave the city immediately to chase the young master. He has already gone to Qingzhou in advance. We must let him know about this. Without this group of people, many things will be inconvenient for us," said the man with half his face covered.

"Yes! The reason we support these gang members is to avoid exposing ourselves. This time, Ye Ling took away most of them."

"This has nothing to do with the young master. Killing Ye Ling in Yunzhou was the old master's order. You will end up losing more than you gain. You should send the message back and see how he reacts." The man with half his face covered was somewhat gloating.

Early the next morning, Ye Ling left the space and rode at full speed. It was already June 30th, and she had to rush back to Langya Pavilion as quickly as possible. She was very busy along the way.

Around noon, Ye Ling met Jin Yu who was also returning to Qingzhou.

Jin Yu was surprised: "Miss Ye, didn't you say you would kill the person on the wanted list within three days? How did you catch up with me so quickly?"

"Now that the matter is settled, we must hurry back to Langya Pavilion."

"It's been done?" Jin Yu thought for a moment and said, "You mean all the bad guys have been caught?"

"About the same. I killed some and captured some."

"Really?" Jin Yu was shocked. "You're so amazing, aren't you? You're truly a master on the Langya List. I'm so envious!"

"Keep a low profile," Ye Ling said with a smile, "I also stood on the shoulders of a saint by accident."

"If I had your martial arts skills, I would definitely travel the world," Jin Yu was very envious.

One of them was riding a horse, and the other was lying by the carriage window, chatting and laughing.

Jin Yu said he had a wish: "I want to go to Langya Pavilion, but unfortunately my father won't let me."

"why?"

"He told me to prepare well for next year's imperial examination."

"That's for your own good. Just prepare well. It won't be too late to go after you pass the imperial examination."

Jin Yu smiled bitterly: "If I'm lucky enough to pass the imperial examination, then I'll have new things to do. Life is always busy and I can never stop!"

"Don't be so pessimistic! Everything depends on human effort. I believe you will have a chance to realize your wish. I won't stroll around with you today. I have to leave quickly. Mr. Jin, take care of yourself. We will meet again in the future. Goodbye!" Ye Ling bowed.

"Miss Ye, take care." Jin Yu also bowed.

Ye Ling continued to ride at full speed.
