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

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

Upon hearing Ji Ruochen's words, Yue Chi immediately quit: "Pavilion Master, Ninth Junior Brother, the Zhao family hasn't arrived yet, so please judge for us. We made a bet that whoever saw Junior Sister Ye go to the hall first would win five hundred taels."

"Junior sister did go to Tianzitang first," said Mo Yufeng.

"Pavilion Master, we should be reasonable, right? Junior Sister Ye went to Tianzi Hall because the two thousand envoys of Renzi Hall were imprisoned there, not to see Ruochen, am I wrong, Junior Brother Jiu?" Yue Chi tried to explain.

"I don't know," Jiuyou replied.

"Ninth Junior Brother, if you say so, then I can't help you today, I..."

"Pavilion Master" Ma Tao interrupted Yue Chi: "They are here."

"Please come in," Ji Ruochen responded.

Lord Zhao and Zhao Lili walked in slowly and were a little surprised to see the people inside.

Mo Yufeng said, "Lord Zhao, please take a seat."

After taking his seat, Lord Zhao looked at Mo Yufeng and asked, "What do you mean, Pavilion Master Mo?"

"Regardless of Senior Brother's affairs, the three of them are my brothers, and naturally my brothers as well," Jiuyou said coldly, "Since Senior Sister is unwilling to come, I can only ask the three of them to listen. I will not meet with you two in private. Lord Zhao, please speak frankly if you have anything to say."

Upon hearing the words "three brothers", Yue Chi immediately stood up straight and said, "Lord Zhao, I am Yue Chi, the envoy of the Dizi Hall. I have just listened to our Pavilion Master's explanation. The Lord Zhao said that my ninth junior brother is the youngest son of your ninth admiral. Do you have any substantial evidence?"

Lord Zhao didn't expect Jiuyou to do this. He was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.

Zhao Lili couldn't hold back her anger and said, "I have evidence." She took out half of the broken jade pendant and said, "Jiuyou, I believe you have a jade pendant like this, right? This was broken by the Ninth Admiral himself when we got engaged."

Jiuyou glanced at it, and then said firmly: "I don't have this kind of jade pendant, and I have never seen it before. You have the wrong person."

"How could you not have the jade pendant? Did Bu Ye Ling not let you recognize it?" Zhao Lili stood up and said, "Do you know who you are? Your father wants to pass the position of clan leader to you..."

"Enough!" Jiuyou said sternly, "Who are you to mention my senior sister's name? I don't care about the clan leader or admiral. Take your broken jade pendant and leave Langya Pavilion. Don't say you don't have evidence now. Even if you did, I wouldn't leave."

"you…"

"Shut up!" Lord Zhao finally realized and pulled his granddaughter back. "I'm sorry, this girl is so outspoken. Please don't be offended."

Yue Chi sneered, "Lord Zhao, let me be frank. Your granddaughter really has no idea what's going on. This is Langya Pavilion, not your mansion. Showing off here won't end well."

"Envoy Yue is right, Lili, hurry up and apologize to Young Master Jiuyou," said Lord Zhao.

"Grandfather, I..." Zhao Lili was glared back at Lord Zhao before she could finish her words. She immediately bowed reluctantly and said, "Master Jiuyou, I'm sorry. I just spoke out of turn."

Jiuyou didn't want to say more. He ignored Zhao Lili and looked at Mo Yufeng: "Brother, I've met the person you asked me to meet and we've talked. Can I go back now? I'm afraid Senior Sister will worry. She's been in a bad mood recently and can't have too much emotional fluctuation."

Mo Yufeng looked at the person sitting below him and said, "Lord Zhao, you've seen this person and told him what happened. You've got the wrong person."

"Grandfather, he..."

"You don't want to listen, little girl?" Lord Zhao interrupted Zhao Lili again in anger: "Master Mo is right. In that case, I won't bother you anymore. I will leave early tomorrow morning."

Jiu You immediately stood up and said, "Senior Brother, my two brothers, thank you all for coming together today. I'll be leaving first."

"I'll go with you." Yue Chi stood up and said, "Pavilion Master, Lord Zhao, I'll go first."

After saying hello, Jiuyou left without looking around. From beginning to end, he never even glanced at Zhao Lili.

Lord Zhao could never have imagined that this matter was completely different from what he expected. Jiuyou did not take his status as a young master seriously at all, and was even unwilling to look at his granddaughter.

On the other side, Ye Ling, accompanied by Yelu Liangzhu, was preparing to leave Renzitang and return to Xianren Peak. When they passed by the martial arts training ground, the two stopped.

Yelu Liangzhu said, "Miss Ye, the master swordsman on the stage is Zhuo Wei, your successor as the head of the Renzi Hall."

"I know. We've met him twice. He's good-looking and good at martial arts. I heard from Senior Brother Ji that he has a good character too," Ye Ling said.

"Yes, the brothers in Renzitang all respect him very much. After all, he fought his way to the top through his own abilities."

"Is he married?" Ye Ling was curious.

"Ah?" Yelu Liangzhu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Never married."

"That's good," Ye Ling smiled mysteriously.

Zhuo Wei also discovered Ye Ling, put away his knife, flew down the arena, and came to Ye Ling.

Yelu Liangzhu bowed and said, "Envoy."

Zhuo Wei nodded slightly in response, then looked at Ye Ling: "Junior Sister Ye, is there anything wrong?"

"No, I just think that Senior Brother Zhuo has outstanding martial arts skills and is handsome. He is a rare and handsome man," Ye Ling said with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhuo Wei didn't know how to respond, and could only say: "I'll send Junior Sister Ye off."

"Okay!" Ye Ling said and raised his eyebrows at Yelu Liangzhu.

Yelu Liangzhu suppressed a laugh and replied, "Since the envoy has sent Miss Ye away, I will return."

Zhuo Wei raised his hand: "Junior Sister Ye, please."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhuo," Ye Ling said, but was still thinking in his heart: Meng Jing is actually a good girl, maybe I can be successful in this matchmaking.

Ye Ling asked as they walked, "How old are you, Senior Brother Zhuo?"

"thirty-one."

"Not married yet?"

"The cabinet is busy and there is no suitable one."

"How about I introduce you to someone?"

"can."

"Hmm?" Ye Ling was stunned: "You agreed so quickly?"

"I never thought about it before when I was in Guizi Hall, but now that Renzi Hall is stable, my mother is actually urging me to do so. So if my junior sister finds someone suitable, I can try to get in touch with her. It would be considered as fulfilling my mother's wish. She is old."

"Is your mother in Langya Pavilion?"

"Yes, it's a small courtyard in the back mountain. Not many of our brothers have families, so we provide each family with a small courtyard. It just so happens that my mother's residence is separated from Cai Qianshi's by a wall. In the past few years, Cai's sister-in-law has taken good care of her."

"Is there such a fate? I've been to Sister Cai's house once..."

"Ye Ling" Zhao Lili's voice interrupted Ye Ling, who was waiting for someone at the gate of Renzi Hall.

"Who are you?" Zhuo Wei asked.

"Who are you?" Zhao Lili asked back.

"This is the envoy of the Renzi Hall, and also my senior brother Zhuo. Princess Zhao, what is the matter with you coming here?" Ye Ling asked.

"Miss Ye really has many senior brothers all over the world!" Zhao Lili was a little jealous: "I came to see you for something personal. Can we talk privately?"

"No," Jiuyou's voice sounded. He came to pick up Ye Ling, but he didn't expect Zhao Lili to come too.

"Junior brother, why are you here?" Ye Ling said.

Jiuyou still ignored Zhao Lili, and bowed as Ye Ling called out, "Brother Zhuo, the rain has started to fall again. I'm here to take Senior Sister back."

"Ye Ling, don't you want to know who Jiu You really is? Do you want to leave him here to live a life of mediocrity? You're too selfish, aren't you?" Zhao Lili was so angry that she blurted out, pulling out her jade pendant: "Look carefully, Jiu You must have a jade pendant like this too. This is our engagement token."

Jiuyou couldn't help but panic, looking at Ye Ling, not daring to take his eyes off her for a moment.

Ye Ling smiled faintly: "Zhao Lili, logically speaking, with my current status and position, you are not worthy of speaking to me. But since you have followed me here, let me say a few words. My junior brother and I love each other and have a harmonious relationship. You are chasing a man from afar with a broken jade pendant. This kind of throwing yourself at him is really shameless! Are all the men in Dali dead? Are you so afraid that you won't be able to get married?"

"You...I am a princess appointed by the king himself..."

"Princess? Haha... It's better not to shout such a rubbish title everywhere. Honestly, you are not even worthy of a toe of my junior brother. You come to steal my man. You can only be called a slut."

"Ye Ling" Zhao Lili had never been humiliated like this before, so she immediately drew her sword and rushed forward.

Zhuo Wei's internal force sent her flying with a palm strike, causing her to spit blood. He then spoke in a cold voice, "Young lady, please understand this is Langya Pavilion. It's not the place for an outsider to brandish a sword or a gun. Today, considering you're a guest, I'll spare your life. I'll report this to the Pavilion Master and have you both leave the mountain immediately."

"Okay, Jiuyou, you will regret this. You will never make any progress here in your life." Zhao Lili didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. She stood up and stumbled away. She realized that everyone in Langya Pavilion was on Ye Ling's side.

After bidding farewell to Zhuo Wei, Ye Ling and Jiu You walked back together. On the way, Jiu You quickly took the initiative to tell him about their meeting in the afternoon, and made it clear that he would definitely not have anything to do with Da Wei.

Ye Ling paused and pondered for a long time before speaking: "Junior Brother, now that this matter has been made clear, do you think you will be able to live a peaceful life? This is just the Zhao family. I am sure that before long, the nine families will also send people. Those who come may be your closest relatives. What will you choose?"

"Sister..."

"I don't mean anything else. I just want you to be prepared in advance." Ye Ling stopped right in the middle of the suspension bridge.

Under one umbrella, two people, Ye Ling looked at Jiu You and said seriously, "Junior brother, I like you, very sincerely. I admit that I want to be with you forever and live the simplest life. However, I will never go back to Da'an with you, because while I love you, I also like freedom. I will not give up my freedom just for love and live in a strange place. Da'an is far away from here, and you have enough time to consider your future choice. No matter what, I will respect your choice. Loving someone is to fulfill the other person, not to forcibly possess them. I believe the man I love will give me a satisfactory answer."

"it is good"

"If there's something wrong, let's speak it out. Don't keep it in your heart. It will become a hidden danger over time."
