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

Chapter 355: Outing (Part )

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

Seeing Jiuyou's doubts, Yue Chi smiled and said, "The Pavilion Master is a master of strategy, so he will not let others take advantage of our pain points. Envoy Qian Qian went directly to Shaoyang Mountain from Yunzhou."

"But he can't break the Stonehenge. Wait... is it Uncle Master?"

Mo Yufeng smiled and said, "You reacted very quickly. Good. I'll send a message to my uncle-master and ask him to go to Shaoyang Mountain and secretly pick him up."

"Senior sister will be angry. She finally has a family, and you are acting without authorization." Jiuyou was anxious.

"Okay, sit down first," Yue Chi said, "their army has already stationed there before we even arrived. We are safe now."

"You scared me, with that smile on your face just now," Jiuyou complained.

"The person should be back the day after tomorrow," said Mo Yufeng.

"What?" Jiuyou stood up again.

"Okay, you'll know when the person comes back," said Zhuo Wei.

"Senior brother, you are still hiding something from me and my sister, right? What exactly happened in Shaoyang Mountain? Senior brother, can you let me know first? When did Qian Cen go to Shaoyang Mountain? When did the army station there? You..." Jiuyou was extremely anxious.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you, but don't tell Junior Sister yet. I'm afraid she'll pick up a knife and attack someone." Yue Chi said helplessly, "The stories you heard before about the army stationed there were all made up by the government. We later found out the real reason. The government sealed off the mountain because a silver mine was discovered in Shaoyang Mountain. At that time, the fifty or so people Meng Molin sent to search for the courtyard were trapped in the mountain by mistake. Our people couldn't get in and were very anxious. Fortunately, Leng Yue was leading the troops. After he reported Junior Sister Ye's name, he sent people into the mountain to search."

"Then...then they have..."

"Listen, among Meng Molin's men, there was someone who specialized in studying Master's Stonehenge. He broke it, but luckily Li Ye was prepared and used the traps in the courtyard to manipulate Qian Qing and the two children to escape. It was also a blessing in disguise that Erke and Leng Yue arrived in time and strangled the group. But... Li Ye was seriously injured, Qian Qing's over-a-month pregnancy was lost, and one of the girls suffered facial injuries while escaping."

Jiuyou couldn't calm down for a long time after hearing this: "Meng Molin, that bastard, attacked a few women and children?"

"Does a person like him know what the gentleman's way is?" Zhuo Wei said angrily.

"Bicheng left Langya Pavilion in a hurry. Was he going to meet them?" Jiuyou asked.

"Not only is it certain to succeed, my Ghost Hall has also sent out a thousand envoys to take people there, because we are afraid that the group of disappeared people will take action again," Xuanyuan said.

"If Senior Sister knew about this at the beginning...she would definitely go to Phoenix Mountain!" Jiuyou was scared.

"That's why I kept it a secret. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and everyone came back alive. I expanded the Immortal Peak into three courtyards so they can live there when they come back," said Mo Yufeng.

"Is the courtyard still intact?"

"It's said... it was blown up by criminals. Besides, the government won't let you enter the mountain anymore."

Jiuyou's heart sank, and he began to think about how to tell Ye Ling about this matter. He absolutely could not wait until the people arrived before telling him, otherwise something would go wrong. After all, it was a big deal that would cost him his family.

Ji Ruochen saw Jiuyou's disappointment and immediately spoke: "Jiuyou, several important figures from Langya Pavilion are here today. I want to make it clear that you and Junior Sister are members of our Langya Pavilion. This is not a joke. This is your home. Junior Sister and you both like freedom, so why don't you take on this position? You can help your family out when you're bored!"

"That's right," Xuanyuan continued, "You don't know how boring Langya Pavilion is without Junior Sister. We're all almost depressed."

"I don't need to say anything," Yue Chi said with a smile.

Everyone looked at Zhuo Wei, whose eyes were throbbing. He was not good at speaking and stammered for a long time: "Can I...can I go to Xianren Peak again...and eat the food cooked by my junior sister?"

"Pfft~" Everyone laughed.

Xuanyuan patted Zhuo Wei on the shoulder: "Why are you still like this?"

"Everyone, fortunately Meng Molin is dead, so even if my junior sister knew about this, she would have nowhere to vent her anger," Yue Chi said.

"Senior Brother Yue, what you said is not right. I am the one you are venting your anger on." Jiuyou was in tears.

Mo Yufeng suppressed a smile: "Don't worry, the brothers will help you. Don't worry. Okay, everyone is happy. Today's meeting is over. Yue Chi, hurry up and urge someone to find Meng Yu."

"Yes" everyone said in unison.

On the other side, the two people who were fishing in the creek came ashore and sat on the grass to put on their boots.

Ke Dan stared at Ye Ling's calves and feet, his eyes wide open: "Brother Shi, how come your feet and legs are so white and tender? More feminine than a woman's?"

"I... have been like this since I was a child. Many people say that I look like a girl," Ye Ling said with a smile.

Ke Dan nodded: "It does look like it. Let's go and take the fish back. Cousin, let's go. Don't stay here alone."

The two men each carried a fish cage and walked back. Ye Ling turned around and glanced at Yu Yan, who was motionless. Suddenly, he was in a trance and felt that the other person's back was particularly... familiar.

"Brother Shi, the meat is cooked." Meng Jing's shout interrupted Ye Ling's thoughts.

"Let's go, don't look at him. He is just like that. He will be back soon," said Ke Dan.

The two returned to the shed and found some meat roasted. Meng Jing handed Ye Ling a large handful and said, "Here, eat it quickly. I roasted it. It's delicious."

"Really? Let me try it." Ye Ling took it and tasted it: "Not bad, not bad, a big improvement. It tastes much better than the one you grilled at Xianren Peak last time."

"That's right, I'm making progress too!"

"It's indeed delicious," Yelu Liangzhu continued, "Langya Pavilion is good in every way, except that we have money but nowhere to spend it. We have to eat at the stove every meal, and many of my brothers are worried about what to eat."

"You can go down the mountain to Zhezhou City for dinner," Ke Dan said as he ate.

“It’s too much trouble to have to apply for permission to go down the mountain.”

"If anyone opens a restaurant in Langya Pavilion, he will make a fortune," said Jin Yu.

"You must be kidding. Whoever dares to open a restaurant here is asking for his life. Pavilion Master Mo will kick him to death," said Ke Dan.

Yelu Liangzhu played the role of host and invited Woods and Zhou Tao to have lunch together. The two of them looked at Ye Ling and Ke Dan with contempt.

Ye Ling didn't bother to pay attention and picked up the wine bowl: "Come, come, this is the wine brewed by our Langya Pavilion. Let's clink glasses first. The two girls will drink water instead of wine."

"Cheers!" everyone said in unison, and Woods and Zhou Tao also raised their glasses symbolically.

"Come on, some more meat is ready, and the fish over there is in the pot. We will have fish soup later," said Jin Yu.

"Brother Shi, when you have time in the future, come to our Da'an, it's very beautiful there too."

"A lone smoke rises across the desert, a round sun sets over the long river?"

"Yes, yes, brother Shi, have you been there?"

"I've read about it in a book. I'll definitely go when I have time," Ye Ling said, looking off into the distance. "Isn't your cousin coming to dinner?"

Ke Dan turned around and looked at Yu Yan: "To be honest, I haven't seen my cousin in several years. When I saw him this time, he said he was disfigured. I don't know why, and it seems that his personality has changed too."

"Disfigurement is such a serious matter, it would be strange if his personality didn't change," said Jin Yu.

Ye Ling was a little puzzled: "Mr. Ke, weren't you raised at your maternal grandparents' house? How come you haven't seen your cousin for several years?"

"You don't know, my cousin has been a loner since he was a child, and has been a lay disciple in Foshan. Naturally, I don't see him much. Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's have another bowl of drinks," said Ke Dan.

"Here I come," a guard from the Human-shaped Hall came over with two bowls of fish soup. When he was almost there, he accidentally stepped on it and a bowl of fish soup flew towards Meng Jing.

Before Ye Ling could make a move, the fish soup was caught by Jin Yu, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Ling said, "Watch your step and be careful. If Miss Meng gets burned, won't we all be in trouble?"

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you Brother Jin," Meng Jing said carelessly, and then ran to watch the barbecue.

Ye Ling shook her head: "You are such a heartless girl, you don't know what fear is."

"That's because it wasn't burned," Jin Yu said with a smile.

"How dare you let her get burned?" Ke Dan said, suddenly lowering his voice: "Brother Shi, does Miss Meng have a husband?"

Ye Ling smiled after hearing this and looked at Jin Yu.

Jin Yu said while drinking soup: "Don't look at me, I don't have the courage."

"Who said it was you? Mr. Ke, she has someone she likes, but she hasn't decided yet."

"That's great," Ke Dan said happily. "So, I have a chance? Brother Shi, Brother Jin, meeting by chance is fate. You two must help me!"

"I'm not familiar with him," Jinyu said.

"I can't help you because I am her matchmaker. Besides, why would you, a grown-up woman, join in the fun?" Ye Ling disagreed.

At this moment, the sound of horses urging each other came from far away, and Jiuyou and Yuechi came.

Everyone stood up immediately, and Woods said with a smile: "Why is Envoy Yue here?"

"Come and have a free meal!" Yue Chi dismounted and began to greet several people.

"Jiuyou, here, here." Ye Ling didn't stand up, but just waved.

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Yan, who was standing by the river, suddenly turned around and stood up, looking at Jiu You's figure from afar, motionless. Because of the black veil, his expression could not be seen clearly.

Jiuyou sat down next to Ye Ling and poured out the wine in the bowl in front of her. Then he opened the bamboo tube he brought with him and poured out the steaming porridge. "Your stomach has been uncomfortable these past two days. You are not allowed to drink alcohol. Drink a bowl of porridge to warm your stomach."

"It's still hot!" Ye Ling was quite obedient and started drinking the porridge.

"We rode at full speed all the way, so of course it's hot." Yue Chi also sat down.

Ke Dan looked Jiu You up from head to toe: "You are... Jiu You? So you are here, but where is Ye Ling? Why isn't she here?"

Jiuyou looked at the person drinking porridge helplessly and could only ask Yue Chi for help.

Yue Chi suppressed a laugh: "Junior Sister Ye...can't leave. Come on, let's have a drink."

"Hey, how can we let Yue Sishi raise his glass? We should be the ones toasting Yue Sishi," Zhou Tao said.

"Mr. Zhou, you don't have to be polite. When we all come out to play, it's fun to have no status. Come, let's have a drink together. Mr. Zhou, you can have porridge instead of wine," Yue Chi said with a smile.

"You all bully me," Ye Ling muttered.

"I don't drink," Jiuyou said simply.

"Let's drink" Yue Chi didn't care.

"Cheers, let's celebrate our chance meeting." Ke Dan was very happy, and it was obvious that he was a fun-loving person.
