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

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

After a brief silence, Zhuo Wei continued expressionlessly, "Pavilion Master, Meng Molin can't beat Senior Feng, but that's all for their generation. The next generation is still competing. It's said that his three sons are unimaginable, all born with physiques that can't practice martial arts. His disciples are King Kaoshan and Xue Jingchuan. Although King Kaoshan is a master on the Langya List, Senior Feng's disciples are even better. In terms of status, you are the Pavilion Master of Langya Pavilion, but in terms of martial arts, Junior Sister Ye has the upper hand. Although I haven't seen your junior brother, I heard from you that his aptitude and martial arts are also extraordinary. In addition, Junior Sister Ye killed his youngest son. Think about it, will he be twisted in his heart and want to practice peerless martial arts for revenge?"

"Although this theory seems illogical, it does hold water. After all, Meng Molin is indeed a petty person." Yue Chi agreed. "Although the news of the Yunzhou competition hasn't been reported yet, I'm sure that Junior Sister Ye will win. Think about it, Meng Molin himself can't beat Senior Feng, and now his disciple can't beat Senior Feng's disciple, who is a woman in her early twenties. This kind of humiliation is unbearable for a petty person. Moreover, I think Junior Sister Ye is closely related to the house arrest of Xue Jingchuan."

"Immortal Secret" Ji Ruochen muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Yue Chi didn't hear clearly.

"I'm telling you the secret of immortality," Ji Ruochen repeated.

Except for Cai Yang and Zhuo Wei, the other two people at the scene looked at Ji Ruochen without saying a word.

Ji Ruochen said helplessly: "Pavilion Master, Yue Chi, you two have fought with Junior Sister Ye. In addition to the internal force of her master, she also has another domineering internal force."

"Are you saying that someone is targeting Junior Sister Ye?" Yue Chi immediately became worried.

"It's hard to say, just keep your eyes on Phoenix Mountain!"

Everyone fell silent again, thinking of Ye Ling in their hearts.

Eight days later, on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, another piece of big news arrived from Langya Pavilion. Yue Chi trotted all the way to Ganlu Palace and said, "Pavilion Master, Ji Sishi's guess was correct. Qingfeng Valley is gone. There are no survivors from the incident on the second night of the lunar month. According to the Wulin Alliance, Qingfeng Valley's unique secret manual is gone, just like the other two sects."

"What's going on with Meng Molin?" Mo Yufeng asked.

"Phoenix Mountain is surprisingly peaceful, without any disturbance. However, Meng Yu is still missing, as if he has vanished from the face of the earth."

"A scholar disappeared from the world, I'm afraid it's not simple." Ji Ruochen said as he walked in and bowed: "Master."

"Pavilion Master" Zhuo Wei also came.

"Report," Yan Hao, the thousand-man envoy of the Dizi Hall, walked in quickly and bowed, "Pavilion Master, three envoys, a carrier pigeon has arrived from Yunzhou. It's for the person in charge of the incident. Miss Ye has defeated the King of Backers and is now ranked sixth on the Langya List."

"That's great, I knew Junior Sister Ye would win!" Yue Chi was so happy.

"This is the happiest thing that has happened in Langya Pavilion in the past two months," Ji Ruochen smiled.

"It's indeed worth being happy. Every time you move up a place on the Langya List, you have gone through untold hardships," said Mo Yufeng.

"Report," said Lu Bing, another Thousand Envoy of the Dizi Hall, as he entered and bowed, "Greetings to the Pavilion Master, the three envoys, and a carrier pigeon has arrived from Yunzhou."

"What day is it today? Why are so many messages coming in?" Yue Chi said.

"What's the emergency in Yunzhou?" Ji Ruochen asked.

"Miss Ye gathered many thieves on the wanted list at the land temple outside Yunzhou City, and then killed them in exchange for a reward of 15,400 taels of silver from the government," Lu Bing replied.

Everyone present was confused. Yue Chi said, "Tell me again, who did Junior Sister Ye gather together?"

"It's Zhuifeng Zhuri, Liu Danyi, Zhou Fengzi and others! Kill them all," Lu Bing explained.

Yue Chi grabbed the pigeon and examined it, then looked surprised. "Pavilion Master, it really is! The message was sent by the Yunzhou Governor's Mansion, thanking the female hero Ye Ling for eliminating 27 bullies at once for the people of the world. How did she do it? Gathered all these people and killed them?"

"So, half of the order for Renzitang has been completed? That's great, finally we don't have to do it ourselves. Looks like we have to thank Junior Sister Ye," Zhuo Wei said without any expression.

"Gather them together and kill them?" Ji Ruochen seemed to be thinking, "Pavilion Master, what do you think?"

Mo Yufeng glanced at the letter, his brow furrowed. "I'm afraid this is just a superficial phenomenon. Think about it, how could this group of people appear in Yunzhou at the same time and be gathered by Junior Sister? Another way of thinking is that they might be going to look for Junior Sister, and there's a high chance they'll be killed in return."

"Well..." Lu Bing took out another note: "There are rumors... that Miss Ye was short of money, so she accepted half of the wanted warrants from the government at once."

"There's such a rumor?" Mo Yufeng didn't believe it. "Junior sister, it's impossible for you to be short of money. General Ye's property and his wife's dowry alone are enough for you to live on for the rest of your life."

"According to the time mentioned in the letter, Junior Sister Ye should be back around mid-July." Yue Chi was inexplicably happy.

"She said she would accompany Susu to give birth to a child and she won't go back on her word." Mo Yufeng still felt a little distressed and uncomfortable. Whenever he mentioned Ye Ling, he could remember the day when his junior sister left.

"Pavilion Master, do you want to send someone to pick up Junior Sister Ye?" Zhuo Wei asked.

"No, there's no one who can kill Junior Sister yet," Mo Yufeng said with certainty. "Let's talk about something else. Yue Chi, do you have any recent news about gathering the Jianghu people?"

"Yes, I am now 80% sure that this was done by Phoenix Mountain, because the people from Luosha Sect were hired by them. A letter from Cangzhou on the border has confirmed this. The Jianghu killers were the first to commit the robbery and murder, and the Luosha sect was the second to commit the robbery and murder. This means that the goals of Luosha Sect and the Jianghu killers are the same, so there is an 80% chance that their master is the same person," Yue Chi analyzed.

"Should we send this news to the Wulin Alliance?" Lu Bing asked.

"No," Ji Ruochen denied. "We investigated this matter. Phoenix Mountain is renowned, and Meng Molin considers himself a master. Without concrete evidence, others will only think we are slandering them. We can investigate the Luosha Sect, and the Wulin Alliance and the government will surely investigate. The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and Langya Pavilion has always stayed out of any fights. So, we'll just sit back and watch the fight unfold while we continue to clean up our internal affairs."

"Do as Ji Si Shi said. Yue Chi, you continue to follow up. One thing is that Meng Yu must be found as soon as possible. This person is definitely a hidden danger," Mo Yufeng instructed.

"Yes, I understand," Yue Chi responded.

As they were talking, Chen Fei, the Thousand Envoys of the Catholic Church, walked in. "Pavilion Master, the three envoys, Bi Qian has brought them back. According to your instructions, I have locked them all up in solitary confinement. Bi Cheng is clamoring for an excuse, and I am unable to handle his scolding."

Yue Chi laughed unkindly: "Only that kid dares to brazenly shout like that."

"I'll explain it to him later. What are other people's reactions?" Ji Ruochen asked.

"Zhuang Yi asked if something happened to Miss Ye and how serious it was. Fang Shu asked how Madam Mo was doing recently. Guo Xin wanted to see Envoy Cai Qian. The others didn't ask much," Fade Chen replied.

"Only Zhuang Yi has some brains," Yue Chi said.

"I'll go check on Bicheng, and then he'll tear down my cell." Ji Ruochen was really afraid of Bicheng, this fearless young man.

A moment later, Ji Ruochen entered the Tianzitang prison and heard Bicheng cursing from a distance.

The guard helplessly explained, "Bi Qianshi, can you please calm down?"

"No," Bicheng said, "Hurry up and get Ji Sishi here. I want to know why you're locking us up for no reason."

"Why do you say that?" Ji Ruochen responded and came to the door of the cell.

Bicheng wasn't afraid at all: "I'm asking because I don't know."

"Shut up!" Zhuang Yi, who was in the cell opposite, said, "Secretary Ji, is something wrong with Miss Ye and Gu Enze? Are they seriously injured?"

"Shut up and stop cursing Miss Ye. Nothing will happen to her. No one in the world can hurt her." Bicheng was a die-hard fan of Ye Ling. He was completely confident in Ye Ling. After saying that, he continued to Ji Ruochen: "Secretary Ji, I want to see our Secretary."

"Envoy Zhuo!" Ji Ruochen called out.

Zhuo Wei walked slowly over and looked at his two envoys helplessly.

Bi Chengli immediately had a face like a punched bag: "Secretary, help me, Secretary Ji wants to kill us both."

"Quiet down for a moment." Zhuo Wei was straightforward and didn't mince words. He asked immediately, "Gong Yue, are you familiar with her?"

Bicheng pouted, "We used to be very familiar with each other, but now I don't know if we are familiar with each other anymore after five years. I wanted to go see him this time, but ended up turning back halfway."

"You have written to him several times, why didn't he reply to you?" Ji Ruochen asked.

"I also want to ask him why he didn't reply," Bicheng said angrily.

"Two envoys, can you tell us what happened?" Zhuang Yi asked.

"Have you told the people in other branches about Junior Sister Ye taking Gu Enze away?" Ji Ruochen asked.

"Of course not. In order to relieve the pressure on Miss Ye, Bicheng and I deliberately created the illusion that the child is with us," Zhuang Yi was sure.

"But Gong Yue from the Yunzhou branch received the exact news in advance that the child is with Junior Sister Ye," said Zhuo Wei.

"How is this possible?" Bicheng said in disbelief. "We were operating in secret this time... Wait, I see. Did someone among us leak the information?"

Ji Ruochen glanced at Zhuo Wei: "He doesn't seem stupid either."

"Really?" Bicheng realized the seriousness of the problem, but then he thought, "That's not right! Even if Gong Yue knew, so what? We're all family, he could have prepared for it in advance."

"Is there something wrong with Gong Yue? Did he betray us?" Zhuang Yi always hits the nail on the head.

"That's even more ridiculous," Bicheng said, still unconvinced. "Brother Gong and I have worked together in Langya Pavilion for seven or eight years. Don't I know him well? How could he possibly rebel, right, Ji Sishi?"

Ji Ruochen and Zhuo Wei didn't say anything, just stared at Bicheng, and the two cold-faced monsters showed a half-smile on their faces.

Bicheng felt a chill on his back and asked guiltily, "No... can this be true?"

"So you and Gong Yue are indeed very familiar with each other?" Ji Ruochen couldn't help laughing.

Bicheng didn't know how to respond for a moment. "I... I haven't seen him in five years, but... he was really productive at Renzitang and completed many large orders. He... couldn't have defected in just five years, right? Could there be some misunderstanding?"

Ji Ruochen and Zhuo Wei still looked at Bicheng without saying anything.
