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

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

The night view of Xianren Peak was very beautiful, but Ye Ling had no intention of enjoying it. After returning from Ganlu Palace, he went back to the space. After taking a bath, he put on his underwear and sat on the sofa without saying a word.

Meng Meng couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you really drunk? Why are you so depressed?"

"Where is Jiuyou?" Ye Ling asked.

"Oh, he should be in the study now, organizing the various books left by your master. We haven't seen him all day today," Mengmeng replied.

"I always feel that this Lord Zhao has bad intentions."

"Master, do you suspect he's coming for Jiuyou? That shouldn't be the case. Your master never told Pavilion Master Mo about Jiuyou's background, so how could anyone outside know? However, didn't Pavilion Master Mo say today that the Jiu family is quite powerful? If these two people are really coming for Jiuyou, then they must have heard some rumors or found some clues and came here to verify it."

"But Jiuyou has nothing but that half of the jade pendant. He doesn't even have a birthmark on his body, let alone a tattoo. How can they verify it?"

"Well...Jiuyou is back," Mengmeng said.

"Let him in!" Ye Ling took a blanket, wrapped himself in the sofa, and prepared to take a nap.

The first thing Jiuyou did when he entered the space was to sit next to Ye Ling and feel her forehead: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"I drank too much!" Mengmeng said.

"Don't drink so much in the future, it's bad for your health. Let's go back to the bedroom and sleep." Jiuyou said as he picked up Ye Ling and sent him back to the bedroom.

Ye Ling didn't say much. He felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. He always felt that someone was going to take Jiuyou away.

Jiuyou took a shower and went to bed. He sensed Ye Ling's low mood and hugged her from behind, saying softly, "Senior Sister, what's wrong? Did someone upset you when you went out today? Or did something happen?"

Ye Ling sighed softly, "The letter You Ming Lang sent me said that the bloody storm in the martial arts world was most likely caused by Meng Molin. My brothers and the others must have known about it, but they are indifferent. The Wulin Alliance and the government will definitely find out. I believe it won't be long before Phoenix Mountain is in danger."

"That's a good thing, and we don't need to get involved."

"But I still can't figure it out. Meng Molin is such a shrewd man. He's been planning this for so long, how could he be so easily exposed? I feel like someone deliberately exposed Meng Molin. What do you think?"

"I think your killing of those people in Yunzhou was all planned in advance."

"You mean, I'm being used as a pawn again?"

"Not necessarily. What they fear most right now is that you've calmed down. Once you don't move, the enemy will be helpless. So we'll stay in Langya Pavilion first. My sister-in-law won't give birth for another month or so, and after that, we have to celebrate the full moon banquet before we leave."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Tomorrow I'll go to Renzitang and meet Yelu Liangzhu. Then I won't go anywhere else. I'll just stay at Xianren Peak." Ye Ling said, turning around and hugging Jiuyou's waist: "You can't go out either. Just stay at Xianren Peak."

"Senior Sister, you know my personality. What I hate most is making friends with others, so I won't leave Immortal Peak. There are fewer people here, it's quiet and comfortable."

"Okay." Ye Ling was already drowsy, and after a while she fell asleep with steady breathing.

Jiuyou sighed softly and kissed Ye Ling on the forehead. He knew that she was not telling the truth. It was definitely not the affairs of the martial arts world that made her uneasy, because Ye Ling was also the kind of person who did not care about anything that did not concern her.

The next day, Ye Ling fell ill unexpectedly. It was the first time he had ever fallen ill. He had a high fever and wouldn't go away. Mo Yufeng immediately asked Doctor Kou to check on him, but he could only prescribe medicine for him to rest.

Jiuyou felt happy in his heart, thinking that his senior sister would not run around this time. In the next few days, he drank Chinese medicine during the day and received intravenous drip on the operating table at night. Mengmeng's answer was that it is impossible for people not to get sick after eating all kinds of grains. This is a normal phenomenon. He will be fine after taking the medicine in seven days. Of course, he will be fine after a week without taking the medicine.

Five days later, at night, the moon was already bright. Thousands of miles away, on Phoenix Mountain, Meng Molin finished reading the letter Liang Jian had brought back. His expression was solemn. "It seems your brother was right. Someone deliberately leaked what we've been planning for years. Otherwise, how could those useless people in the martial arts world have known my plan?"

"Master, what should we do now? Once they find solid evidence, the Wulin Alliance will definitely contact all the sects to besiege Phoenix Mountain," Liang Jian said worriedly.

"It's easier said than done to find evidence. I have confidence in your brother's work and he won't leave any evidence behind. The most urgent matter is Jingchuan. I must make him the best in the world, otherwise Feng Qingyang will laugh at me. Ye Ling, a woman, how can she move up step by step? This is a slap in my face." Meng Molin was so angry that the chicken on his face was jumping.

"But Young Master Xue refused to cooperate. He threw out the martial arts manual you gave him and still refused to eat. Today, he even threatened that if you didn't let him leave, he would sever his own tendons and become a cripple."

"This is not up to him. Don't worry about it. Let your brother take charge of the next move. Also, find a way to get Ye Ling out of Langya Pavilion. If she stays there, we will have no chance of obtaining the Immortal Secret."

"Yes, I understand. By the way, the people from Nanlai have replied. I'm afraid we won't be able to enter Shaoyang Mountain to look for Ye Ling's relatives."

"I will break the Stonehenge myself. All they have to do is find a new place. What's so difficult about that?"

"Master, that... the emperor has gone crazy and sent tens of thousands of troops to permanently camp at the foot of Shaoyang Mountain for training. The people living at the foot of the mountain have been arranged to live in other villages. Also, Leng Ruxue is on patrol on behalf of the emperor and has ordered the Shaoyang Mountain to be closed. Now not even a bird can fly in, let alone people." Liang Jian had a headache.

"Why did the Emperor suddenly make such a move? Could it be Leng Ruxue's doing? This is obviously to protect Ye Ling and let her have no worries. With a large army outside, we have no chance. We must fight Ye Ling to the death. At worst, we can capture his junior apprentice brother and force her to surrender and hand over the Immortal Secret."

Liang Jian spoke with a look of disbelief, "Master, you know what happened the last time Prince Xian used Jiuyou to force Ye Ling. Can we still use this trick? It is said that Jiuyou's martial arts are not that weak now. Even masters may not be able to defeat him. What's more, we have lost contact with him. Ye Ling went to Langya Pavilion alone, and Jiuyou never appeared. He seems to have disappeared."

"Didn't they say Jiuyou followed the people ahead back to Langya Pavilion?"

"But our people in Yingzang said that Jiuyou didn't leave with them, and even the child from the Gu family is missing."

"Is there any more news coming out of Langya Pavilion?"

"I guess there will never be another one. We haven't made any movement since our people returned to Langya Pavilion. They must have found out. Oh, and for safety's sake, my brother poisoned Gong Yue and several of his close associates. Now we're the only ones left in Langya Pavilion."

"It's long gone. Mo Yufeng took the opportunity to eliminate all the disloyal people in Langya Pavilion. This man is much more ruthless than Su Mu. Don't look at him as gentle and chivalrous on the surface. In fact, he is cruel and ruthless. Langya Pavilion will only move to a higher level in his hands. The weak bad habits that Su Mu had when he was in office are gone in an instant. If I had such a disciple, I would have no worries about achieving great things!" Meng Molin sighed helplessly.

"Director, you're absolutely right. People outside are saying that Mo Yufeng has become a different person since he took office. They say he used to be...pretending to be a pig but eating the tiger, a fool with great wisdom. Now that he's in power, he's acting with swift and decisive action, and he's even more indifferent to the affairs of the underworld."

"This is how Langya Pavilion is. Okay, now that the spies in the mountain have been eliminated, let's announce that starting tomorrow, Jingchuan and I will be in seclusion for fifteen days. During these fifteen days, you and the emperor will arrange the affairs on the mountain, and your brother will manage the outside world." After saying this, Meng Molin turned and went into the inner room.

"Yes, I understand." Liang Jian responded with a strange smile on his face.

Four days later, in an inn in Zhezhou, a familiar figure was soaking in the bathtub. A guard with a half-masked face entered the room and said, "Young Master."

"Liangxue, you came quite quickly!" The man in the bathtub did not turn around.

"I received an urgent letter from Phoenix Mountain. Meng Molin has been in seclusion for fifteen days, and he has brought Xue Jingchuan with him."

The man chuckled, "He's at his wit's end. He wants to train Xue Jingchuan to deal with Ye Ling."

"Now that we have released all the news and left a lot of evidence, the Wulin Alliance has already recruited all the major sects. In about twenty days at most, they will definitely besiege Phoenix Mountain. The current emperor probably won't sit idly by and has already begun to gather troops. We don't need to do anything, let alone Ye Ling's help, Meng Molin will be finished," said Liangxue.

"That may not be the case. Don't underestimate my old father. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. He still has a backer, the King of the Mountain. However, the King of the Mountain has a very hard life. He finally settled down to be an idle prince, but then his master got into such trouble."

"Young Master is absolutely right. A dozen days ago, King Kaoshan arrived at Phoenix Mountain and was turned away by Meng Molin. He threatened to sever the master-disciple relationship and stop associating with him. Many people saw it at the time. I think he did it for show."

"Among the five of them, his apprentice and son, he still likes Nangong Chen the most and wants him not to be implicated in this matter. No wonder he married his sister to him. It doesn't matter. We don't intend to make things difficult for a prince. What's going on with Shuiyue Palace?"

"Don't worry, everything is fine in Shuiyue Palace. According to your plan, we will go to the martial arts world step by step."

"Liangxue, my goal is to make Shuiyue Palace as famous as Langya Pavilion. I don't care about the title of martial arts master. I want to create a powerful sect that can stand for hundreds of years and be remembered forever."

"Young Master, you will definitely succeed. We two brothers will always support you, along with all the others. Eighty percent of Phoenix Mountain's wealth has been secretly transferred to Shuiyue Palace by my younger brother. We've already opened hundreds of these hidden inns, restaurants, brothels, and gambling houses. On the one hand, we make money, and on the other, we can stay informed of world affairs at all times, just like Langya Pavilion."
