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

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

The heavy rain was still falling, and there was an umbrella on the soft bridge, with two people standing motionless.

Mo Yufeng was walking home with an umbrella. He saw his junior brothers and sisters on the bridge from a distance. When he approached them, he said, "What are you two doing? Why don't you go home in such heavy rain?"

"Enjoy the rain scene," Ye Ling said with a smile.

"Okay, stop joking and go back quickly," Mo Yufeng urged.

Ye Ling opened her umbrella and walked ahead. Jiu You held onto Mo Yufeng and whispered, "Brother, that Zhao Lili went to block Senior Sister at the entrance of Renzi Hall, took out her jade token and started talking nonsense, even drawing her sword. Senior Brother Zhuo injured her. I think Senior Sister is pretending, but she must have been planning to kill someone long ago."

"This Zhao Lili is really brainless."

"If Senior Brother Zhuo hadn't intervened today, I'm afraid Senior Sister would have been crippled by her."

Mo Yufeng looked at Jiu You, then glanced at Ye Ling who was walking away. He felt a headache. "Junior brother, this matter of yours is not easy to handle. No one can help you. You have to rely on yourself. You... think about it carefully! Lord Zhao and the others will definitely tell Jiu Zhongtian about this when they return. The Jiu family has been looking for you for so many years. They can't just let it go like this. Do you still have that jade pendant?"

"I threw it away."

"You...it's okay, just throw it away and be done with it. But Lord Zhao said that you look 70% similar to your father Jiu Zhongtian, and your eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same. Anyone who has seen Jiu Zhongtian can tell your identity at a glance. Go back first." Mo Yufeng also had a headache. He was worried about Ye Ling's problem.

It rained heavily in the evening, and everyone was surprisingly quiet during the meal, with no one saying a word.

After dinner, Su Su immediately pulled Mo Yufeng aside and asked, "Husband, I also felt that Sister Ling and Junior Brother were acting strangely today. Did they have a fight?"

"It's normal for couples to quarrel, don't worry," Mo Yufeng said with a smile as he touched Su Su's round belly.

"It's normal for couples to quarrel, but you know Sister Ling's temper. She is a person of action. She doesn't give others a chance after she talks. I'm afraid my junior brother can't handle it." Su Su was still worried.

"Don't worry, in this world, no one understands me better than my junior brother, and he knows how to make me happy." Mo Yufeng said as his thoughts wandered: "Junior brother, you have to rely on yourself this time. The world of martial arts is in chaos, and now that you have encountered such a thing, your luck is not good!"

"Husband? Husband?" Su Su called out several times.

"What's wrong?" Mo Yufeng finally came back to his senses. "Hey, stop worrying about other people. Let me see your foot. Why is it still so swollen?"

"Didn't Doctor Kou say this? It's normal. It just hurts a little."

"Let me give you a massage." Mo Yufeng gently massaged Su Su's feet and legs. "Don't be afraid or worried. I've already hired four of the best midwives in Zhezhou City. With Doctor Kou here, we'll definitely give birth to the baby safely."

"Yeah," Su Su smiled and nodded. "Sister Ling also told me to walk more, which would help with childbirth. I've been walking every day in the past few days."

"Junior sister... I don't know what will happen to me in this life," Mo Yufeng muttered in a low voice.

On the other side, Ye Ling returned to the room and pulled Jiu You into the space: "Where is your jade pendant?"

"It was thrown into the waste disposal machine in space and destroyed long ago." Jiuyou was very glad that he made the right decision at that time. It was so wise.

"Are you stupid? Without the jade pendant, you may never be able to return to your roots." Ye Ling was a little angry.

"I am from Nanlai of Cangyue Country. Duke Leng has already processed my identity documents for me. Now I am your son-in-law of the Ye family. It's that simple. What's the point of recognizing my ancestors or joining my clan?" Jiuyou's answer can be said to be perfect.

Ye Ling was speechless. She sat on the sofa and was about to speak.

Jiuyou sat down beside him and said, "Senior Sister, I want to marry you. Let's get married in a ceremony. I know it's not been three years since Master's death. We can simply worship the heaven and earth in front of Master's spirit tablet. When Master's three years have passed, I will definitely hold a ceremony for you with a grand wedding ceremony, with a sedan chair carried by eight people. Okay?"

"Why do you want to get married suddenly?"

"I...I just don't want to...stay awake and have so many dreams."

Ye Ling smiled and said, "Junior Brother, I am yours, my heart is yours too. Why are you afraid of more troubles? Since you promised me a sedan chair, I will wait for you to carry me. It's almost been a year, it will be very fast."

"No," Jiuyou said firmly, "I just want everyone to know that we are married. I have a wife and you have a husband. Is that all right?"

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Ling smiled and held Jiuyou's face in his hands, joking in a very frivolous way: "No wonder Zhao Lili fell in love with you at first sight, my junior brother is really as handsome as Pan An!"

"Senior Sister, I don't want to know anything about Pan An, I just want..."

Before Jiuyou could finish his words, Ye Ling kissed him on the mouth, then let go and stood up: "Okay, enough talking, I'm going to take a shower, you should go take a shower too, I'll be waiting for your sedan chair, let's just say this."

Jiuyou was confused as he looked at the person who entered the room.

In the bedroom, Meng Meng landed across from the bathtub. "Master, didn't you say before that you wanted to marry Jiuyou to reassure him? Why do you suddenly change your mind?"

"Before, I wanted to reassure him, but now he wants to reassure me. If Jiuzhongtian really comes looking for Jiuyou, I don't know what the outcome will be. I can't gamble the rest of my life on it."

"You don't believe in Jiuyou?"

"I believe him. He is the person I trust most in this strange world, but I can't afford to lose. I don't believe in Jiu Zhongtian. Once we marry each other in the name of heaven and earth, we are irreversibly married. Mengmeng, to be honest with you, even if Jiuyou goes back to Dayu, I won't leave. I'm scared of all those wealthy families fighting in TV dramas, but I believe Jiuyou won't leave. He will definitely stay. Once this matter is resolved, we will worship heaven and earth. I don't need his sedan chair with eight bearers and a long wedding dress. I just want him to stay by my side and accompany each other until we grow old."

"But Master, I still don't understand. You and he already live together. Does it make any difference whether we have a wedding ceremony or not?"

"You're stupid! I can't explain it to you clearly. You, go out, I'll be alone for a while."

"Oh~" Mengmeng flew away in a daze.

While Ye Ling was taking a bath, Jiu You had already gone to Mo Yufeng to complain. He wanted Mo Yufeng to help him marry Ye Ling first. This would make it easier to deal with things later, and on the other hand, it would also make Ye Ling feel more at ease.

So, two quarters of an hour later, Ye Ling came out of the space and opened the door: "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about so late at night?"

"Um... let me talk to you." Mo Yufeng smiled bitterly. He was dragged here by Jiuyou.

"Come in!" Ye Ling let him into the room and poured him a cup of tea. "Brother, let's get straight to the point. What's going on?"

"Okay, I won't beat around the bush. Senior Brother wants you and Jiuyou to get married sooner rather than later. This way, I can better hold Jiuyou close and you'll feel more at ease."

Ye Ling sat down and spoke slowly: "Brother, if you have to rely on marriage to hold a man back, it's better not to. You also know Jiuyou's life experience. Sooner or later, this matter will be known to everyone in the world. By then, the Jiu clan will come one after another to ask Jiuyou to go back. What if, I mean what if, Jiuyou is moved, what should I do then? I will never leave Cang Yue Country even if I die. Then I have to divorce. After the divorce, I will be an abandoned woman. There will be countless people to poke my spine, and it will also make you feel bad. So, I want to wait for Master three years, and when everything is settled, I will marry him. Brother, I trust Jiuyou, otherwise I would not give my body to him, but I can't give all my cards to him. It will be difficult to get off the tiger by then."

"You have a point. I didn't consider this point. Sometimes man proposes, God disposes."

"Senior Brother, I, Ye Ling, don't necessarily have to get married."

"You can't say that. Okay, forget it. Let me digress. The plains below Shaoyang Mountain have been used by the Emperor as a permanent military training camp. The mountain has been sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter. Those who disobey the order will be killed without mercy. The people living at the foot of the mountain have all been relocated. Now, I'm afraid not even a bird can fly in..."

"What?" Ye Ling jumped up: "Then... then how can I get back? Qian Qing and the others are still in there."

"Sit down first and listen to me." Mo Yufeng pulled him down and said, "The last sentence of the imperial decree is: Ye Ling can come and go as he pleases."

"Is there something wrong with Nangong Che's brain? What kind of decree is this?"

"Junior sister, the emperor means to tell everyone in the world that you, Ye Ling, have him to take care of you. Let's see who dares to move."

"I need his care. Wait... Senior Brother, is there something I don't know? Why did Nangong Che suddenly close Shaoyang Mountain?"

"This is a matter of chance. Ever since you left, Meng Molin has sent people into the mountains time and again to search for your whereabouts. Their purpose, of course, was to capture Qian Qing and the others and force you to hand over the Immortal Secret. However, they overestimated their abilities. There are thousands of winding roads in Shaoyang Mountain, and with Erke and his men obstructing them, they couldn't find the courtyard at all. The emperor's secret village also learned of this, and the news spread all the way back to the palace. Coincidentally, the emperor was worried about the new training camp, so the problem was solved in an instant. In order to seal the mountain in a logical manner, they said that Duke Leng was on a tour of inspection on behalf of the emperor and found wild beasts rampant in Shaoyang Mountain. Fearing that the lives of the people would be endangered, they requested an imperial decree to seal the mountain."

Ye Ling's thoughts wandered after hearing this. He looked at Mo Yufeng and said, "Brother, how did you get these details?"

Mo Yufeng smiled and said, "Little girl, I, the Pavilion Master of Langya Pavilion, never leave my house and know everything about the world. I'm not bragging, it's just that sometimes I like to play deaf and dumb. By the way, can you guess who this training general is?"

"Who is it? Do I know him?"

"Your eldest cousin Leng Yue was transferred back two months ago. His family is now in Nanlai City."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling's expression changed, and she felt an indescribable sadness. "The emperor still doesn't trust my uncle, fearing he might rebel on the border. He transferred my cousin back to Nanlai to train troops. The separation of father and son reduces the chances of them fighting side by side. My grandfather is so old, and he's still working hard for the country. It's really... an indescribable feeling."

Mo Yufeng looked at Ye Ling distressedly: "Sister, to be honest, sometimes you seem naive and silly like a little girl, but sometimes you are too insightful and can see the essence of things in an instant. This is not good. It is better for people to live in confusion so that their hearts are not tired."
