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

Chapter 322 Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

At night, Langya Pavilion was brightly lit as always. Zhuo Wei and Yue Chi brought two dinners to the prison, one for Zhuang Yi across the street and one for Bicheng's cell. "Hurry up and get up and eat."

"Hey! The two envoys are delivering the food personally!" Bicheng said with a smile.

"Stop joking and get up and eat," Zhuo Wei said helplessly.

Yue Chi was already taking out more food: "Doctor Kou said you are a little anemic. These things are all blood tonics, but they are a bit light. Your wound is already inflamed, so you can't eat anything carelessly."

"Thank you, Envoy Yue. By the way, where are my brothers?" Bicheng asked.

"Don't worry, everyone has been moved to the middle prison on the other side. Each person has a separate room, and they get three meals a day, hot dishes and hot soup, both meat and vegetables," said Zhuo Wei.

"That's good enough." Bicheng started to pick up his chopsticks. He was really hungry and ate with relish.

Yue Chi and Zhuo were sitting on the side, and Yue Chi was watching with a smile. In fact, he was 100% confident in Bicheng. The reason he did this was to show it to the other spies.

Yue Chi spoke first: "You two should think carefully about the journey and point out the direction for us as soon as possible."

"Zhuang Yi said that there was something wrong with the people who went after them. I told you so on the way here just now," said Zhuo Wei.

Zhuang Yi was eating in the cell opposite and said, "There were nineteen people in the back, including my subordinates. Three of them died, leaving sixteen."

"Except for you, there are only fifteen people left." Yue Chi paused and asked, "How much do you two know about Guo Xin?"

"Of course I know him well. We're all from Renzitang. He..." Bicheng paused and thought for a moment. "By the way, Zhuang Yi, you brought three carrier pigeons with you when you came. You said Guo Xin brought them, right?"

"Yes, I was going to bring pigeons, but he brought them, so I didn't. My two envoys, is there something wrong with Guo Xin?" Zhuang Yi asked.

"It's basically confirmed. Among all of you today, he reacted the most violently and was obviously scared. But Secretary Ji found out that there is still a ghost in the pavilion, so all the brothers have to stay here until the ghost is caught," said Zhuo Wei.

"We have no problem. The key is Fang Shu. She is a girl and it was her first time going out on a mission. She was quiet all the way and never said a word of being tired, but she encountered this kind of thing when she came back." Zhuang Yi felt a little sorry for Fang Shu.

"Don't worry, Fang Shuyou went to jail alone, and Chen Qianshi has explained to her. It's okay for her to be wronged for a few days," Yue Chi said.

As they ate and talked, Bicheng and Zhuang Yi told them everything that happened on the way, hoping to help everyone find the traitor in the pavilion.

At the same time, a magnificent building stood on a mountain outside Qingzhou City. In a magnificent courtyard inside the building, a man was sitting on a recliner facing the pond with his back to the light, rocking slowly.

The half-masked man walked around from behind the rockery to the edge of the pond and bowed, "Greetings, Young Master."

"What's wrong?" the man asked softly.

"As you said, I spread the news of Xue Jingchuan's house arrest. Soon, King Kaoshan and the Emperor will know about it, and so will the people in the martial arts world. In addition, Gu Enze's plan to implicate Langya Pavilion has completely failed. The master is furious and vows to kill Ye Ling."

"I'm afraid it's more than that. The reason why my father hates Ye Ling is because she defeated King Kaoshan, which was undoubtedly a slap in his face. Unfortunately, he couldn't kill Ye Ling."

"Young Master is right. Ye Ling is almost reaching Zhezhou. She has been alone all the way and has not seen Jiuyou and Gu Enze."

"This is what my father arranged for that loser in Langya Pavilion to do. This time, he failed miserably and must have suffered internal injuries from anger."

The half-masked man didn't respond: "Master, someone from Langya Pavilion is looking for you."

"That's not a big deal, it's just... the progress is too slow. I still have to push it forward. I've been wanting to be the best my whole life, but in the end, I've lost my integrity. Isn't that interesting?"

"If the young master says so, then so, how are we going to add fuel to the fire?"

"The martial arts world is in chaos right now. The Wulin Alliance and the government are both searching for the culprit behind the massacre. We can properly lead them to my old father. This can be considered as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, avenging the three families that were wiped out."

"I understand," the half-masked man said, pulling out a book from his waist. "Master, this is the secret manual of Qingfeng Valley. As usual, I copied a copy for you and sent the original book back."

Without turning around, the man took the book and flipped through it briefly. "It's just mediocre. It's useless. The Immortal Secret is still better! Look at Ye Ling, a woman in her early twenties, who ranked sixth on the Langya List. The reason is because of her powerful internal energy!"

"Young Master, if you challenged the Langya List, you would definitely be in the top ten now."

"I'm not interested. If you want to challenge, you have to take first place. That's what makes a master famous throughout the ages. A true master is like Feng Qingyang, who gained the admiration of thousands of people without competing or fighting, instead of thinking he's great just because he took first place in the world."

"Master is right."

"How's the most important thing going?"

"Master, rest assured. Phoenix Mountain will receive Meng Yu's body within five days. I found the body myself, so there will be no mistakes. According to your instructions, I went to Yunzhou to steal the body of a Jianghu man killed by Ye Ling. The Meng family will definitely let me see the body, so there will be no mistakes."

"That's great! Meng Yu is finally dead. You must have a solution. This way, it becomes even more true that Ye Ling killed Meng Yu. There were so many people at the Earth God Temple that day that I'm afraid Ye Ling didn't even know who he had killed."

"This matter was well planned by the young master."

"Opportunities don't come along every day, so once you see one, you have to seize it. This time, things are going to get serious. Meng Molin and Ye Ling have old grudges and new hatreds. If they start fighting, Langya Pavilion will definitely side with Ye Ling. Then, King Kaoshan, Xue Jingchuan, and the current emperor will all be involved. That's when the world goes into chaos, and heroes emerge in troubled times."

"Young Master is very foresighted and has thoroughly investigated the secrets behind these people. Once they are revealed, no one will be clean."

"Everyone in this world who is even slightly famous has a shameful story."

"Yes, then I will go and do the work."

"Wait a minute," the man stood up and turned his back to the light, adjusting his clothes. "I'm used to running around outside, and I can't stay here any longer. Ask someone to get ready, and we'll go out for a walk."

"Where do you want to go, Master?"

"Zhezhou, let's go sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away. We'll leave early tomorrow morning." The man with half his face covered responded and left.

The man by the river stretched and moved his neck, but never looked back.

Five days later, on July 13th, Meng Molin finally appeared in Phoenix Mountain. He was over fifty years old, yet he still stood tall and straight, his steps strong and vigorous. Time had carved deep wrinkles into his face, but his eyes were still as bright as stars, revealing determination and wisdom. His hair, now gray, was neatly combed and tied atop his head, making him look even more energetic.

Meng Molin was sitting at his desk, flipping through the Fenglei Sect's internal martial arts manual. His bodyguard, Liang Jian, entered the room and said, "Master, the Qingfeng Valley secret manual has arrived."

Meng Molin spoke without looking up: "Except for the matter of the orphan of the Gu family, your brother has done a good job in other matters. He handled the three-family extermination case very cleanly and without any loopholes."

"Thank you for your praise, master. This is what a brother should do. Well... the eldest young master's body has been brought back. Would you like to go and take a look?" Liang Jian asked.

"Hmph!" Meng Molin snorted coldly, "He doesn't know martial arts, yet he still wants to make a name for himself. He ran off to cause trouble for Liangxue. If it weren't for his meddling and self-righteousness, how could the Gu family's orphan's case have failed? He caused Ye Ling to kill half of the people I worked so hard to recruit. He deserved death, and Liangxue went to the government to steal his body. What a waste."

"Master, please calm down, but... Madam is crying her heart out, don't you see...?"

"I have three sons and two apprentices, five of us in total. Except for Chen'er, none of the other four are any good. Feng Qingyang has three apprentices, and now one is the head of Langya Pavilion, one is ranked sixth on the Langya List, and the other is said to be no less powerful. This really infuriates me to death. These useless people are dead, and it's useless for them to come. And Jingchuan still refuses to eat?"

"Yes, he has been on a hunger strike for five days. If he continues like this, he will definitely not survive."

"You will feed him the medicine yourself later. I will not allow him to die."

"Yes, I understand. There is one more thing. The matter concerning the Blood Prince has spread throughout the martial arts world. I am investigating within our ranks to see who leaked the news."

"Hurry up and find this scourge. Also, prevent Nangong Che from sending people to rob Jingchuan. As for Chen'er, he will only come to ask for people openly."

"You mean the emperor will send someone?"

"Jingchuan has a close relationship with the current emperor, so it's better to be on guard. These internal skills are mediocre. I must obtain the Immortal Secret and become a true master. It's really ridiculous to let a woman practice such a great and unique skill. It's a waste of the Immortal Secret."

"You will definitely get the Immortal Secret. Then, should we continue to eradicate the sect? The Wulin Alliance and the government are both on the trail."

"So what if we investigate? We don't have any of our own people. In recent years, there have been more and more gangs in the martial arts world. They have robbed Phoenix Mountain of so much business and messed up the martial arts world. The leader of the martial arts world is a waste. Since he is useless, I will clean up these snakes, insects, rats and ants for him."

"Master is right, it's just a pity that we couldn't bring Langya Pavilion with us."

"It's nothing to regret. Langya Pavilion has never been involved in anything outside. Even when the orphan of the Gu family they were escorting died, no one dared to touch Langya Pavilion, let alone suspect them. The reason why this old man did this was to test Mo Yufeng's attitude and see if he would interfere in the affairs of the martial arts world."

"Why do you want to test it?" Liang Jian was puzzled.

"Because if Langya Pavilion intervenes to stop our plan, it will be difficult to proceed. Now it seems that Mo Yufeng still doesn't want to get involved in the outside world. However, I have an old grudge against his junior sister Ye Ling, and she killed my two sons. There is no need to hide this matter. Let your brother continue the action."

"Yes."

"Ye Ling returned to Langya Pavilion?"

"Coming."

"Hmph!" Meng Molin sneered. "If Ye Ling serves in Langya Pavilion again, then Mo Yufeng and his junior sister will be convicted of plotting to force Su Mu to step down. Without us doing anything, Langya Pavilion will be in the spotlight."

"Master is absolutely right."

"Alright, tell the emperor to bury the young master with honor."

"I obey your command. I'll take my leave." Liang Jian bowed and turned around with a barely perceptible smile.
