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

Chapter 357 "Shouldn't the wealth flow to outsiders?"

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

After hearing Zhou Tao's feeble rebuttal, Ye Ling laughed: "Your father is already over fifty, and he's still following others and taking concubines? I guess he's not good enough, so he gave it to his son, right? It's best not to let outsiders take advantage of the situation, right?"

"Shi, say it again." Zhou Tao was so angry that he didn't dare to refute Yue Chi, but he could still deal with an unemployed idler.

"Hey! Don't you allow others to tell about your family's ugly deeds? If you are afraid of people knowing, then don't do such immoral things." Ke Dan couldn't help but join in.

"You're looking for death!" Zhou Tao whipped him.

Ke Dan dodged it easily and said with a smile: "Are you anxious? Are you so afraid of people knowing? I tell you, as soon as I leave Langya Pavilion, I will shout about it to the whole world. What the world's largest gang is? Bah."

Zhou Tao was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He drew his sword and started fighting with Ke Dan.

When the two were fighting fiercely, a black shadow flashed by and separated them in an instant.

Everyone looked closely and saw that it was Yue Chi. Yue Chi's face was stern, and he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhou, you're resorting to violence in Langya Pavilion. Do you think there's no one here? Or do you think you don't take our envoy seriously?"

Ke Dan was so frightened that he immediately stopped and said, "Envoy Yue, help me! He wants to kill me."

Zhou Tao also put away the knife obediently: "I'm sorry, I was angry at the time, please forgive me, Master Yue."

Ye Ling was laughing happily as he rode on his horse. Woods was furious. He really wanted to say, "Wasn't it Yue Chi who said this? Why is he blaming the victim?"

"Okay, okay, Envoy Yue, don't be angry, let's go back quickly!" Yelu Liangzhu came out to act as a peacemaker.

The team set off again, and Ye Ling, who was at the front, whispered, "Senior Brother Yue, did you do that on purpose just now?"

Yue Chi's lips curled slightly: "Did you see that?"

"Who are you? How could you casually reveal someone else's dirty laundry? And in front of everyone, it's obvious that you did it on purpose."

"The Meteor Hall has been very arrogant over the past two years, thinking that they can ignore the Langya Pavilion by relying on the leader of the martial arts world. They have done many shameful things behind the scenes. I am exposing their family's dirty laundry today to let them know that the Langya Pavilion knows all about their shameful deeds."

"I knew you said it for a purpose."

"Okay, I'll go to the back and talk to Miss Yu."

"How many times have you teased me today? Be careful that Yu Yan will punish you."

"I was just chatting normally, how could I be teasing you?" Yue Chi stopped by the roadside and waited for Yuying's rattan sedan.

Ye Ling continued to move forward, not forgetting to glance proudly at Woods and Zhou Tao behind him, with a sense of provocation.

Zhou Tao became even angrier, and just as he was about to speak, he was glared back at by Woods.

Woods trotted quickly and came to stand beside Ye Ling. "Master Shi, why do I feel that you are so hostile towards me?"

"Because we have a grudge!"

"Any grudge?" Woods was confused. "This is the first time we've met, right? How could there be any grudge?"

"I have a grudge against your father. You can go back and ask him if he has ever offended anyone by meddling in other people's business in Langya Pavilion. I have a noble quality, which is holding grudges. I will remember the person who has offended me for the rest of his life, and his descendants will be on my blacklist," said Ye Ling.

"How is that possible?" Woods was completely unconvinced. "No matter how bad my father is, he wouldn't have anything against a junior like you, right?"

Ye Ling smiled. "When a tree falls, monkeys scatter. When a wall falls, everyone pushes it. Your father helped others push the wall, but he never expected that when the wall was halfway down, they would build back up, making it taller and stronger than before. Go back and ask him if he has ever regretted it. Ask him again, aren't you on good terms with Senior Su? Why didn't he come this time? Why didn't he send you instead? What are you afraid of? On your way back from Phoenix Mountain, if you pass by Zhezhou, you can stop by to congratulate Pavilion Master Mo on his Lin'er's full moon banquet."

Woods fell silent. After a long moment, he stared at Ye Ling and asked, "Who are you?"

Ye Ling still smiled: "It seems that you know who your father has offended here?"

Before Woods could reply, he had already returned to the entrance of the guest hall. Ye Ling, on horseback, turned around and looked at everyone, bowing: "Brother Jin, Brother Ke, Master Yu, today's tour is over. You can have a good rest tomorrow. The full moon banquet will be on the seventh day of September, which is still a dozen days away. I'll treat you all to a few drinks sometime."

"It's a deal," Ke Dan was very happy.

"Then I'll go back." Ye Ling said, pulling Meng Jing, who had come to her horse, onto the horse's back and placing her in her arms: "Envoy Yue, Brother Chu, let's go, drive."

"Let's ride a horse" Meng Jing was very happy.

Ke Dan and Yu Yan remained calm as they watched the group walk away. Woods and Zhou Tao, however, were agitated. Zhou Tao spoke up, "In broad daylight, he actually pulled a woman onto his horse and held her in his arms? This... is simply outrageous. Pavilion Master Mo is just not going to do anything about it?"

Woods said nothing more and turned into the yard.

Yu Ying walked up to her two brothers and whispered, "Master Shi is...?"

Ke Dan whispered in Yu Ying's ear: "She is Ye Ling!"

Yuying looked shocked: "She...she just..."

"Yes, she is the heroine you have been thinking about. What do you think? Is she the same as you imagined?" Ke Dan asked with a smile.

Yuying smiled slightly: "It's better than I thought. I envy her so much!"

"Then you must make a choice. You know exactly why your grandfather brought you here. Once you make your choice, you'll be able to see your heroine often, and maybe even become good friends with her."

"You can only choose between Ji Ruochen and Yue Chi," Yu Yan said.

"Yes." Yu Ying squatted slightly and entered the right guest hall.

Yu Yan and Ke Dan returned to the Zuoke Hall and entered Yu Yan's room.

Ke Dan sat down and poured himself some water: "Cousin, I think Yue Chi is better. Ji Ruochen is cold and a little difficult to get along with."

"Look, people are always so bad. Yue Chi is a playboy and he's too fickle. Ji Ruochen is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. If he really marries my sister, he will definitely treat her well," said Yu Yan.

"I still don't understand why Grandfather must be related to Langya Pavilion by marriage? Can't we just live our own lives?"

Yu Yan just sighed slightly and said nothing.

On the other side, Ye Ling and his companions had returned to Xianren Peak and made it in time for dinner.

Mo Yufeng looked at Ye Ling and Meng Jing who were wolfing down their food, his face full of confusion: "Didn't you go to eat barbecue?"

"How can you feel full after eating barbecue?" Ye Ling said.

"That's right, I'm starving." Meng Jing no longer cared about his eating manners.

Mo Yufeng looked at Jiuyou and Yuechi who had returned together: "Then why aren't you two hungry?"

"We both had lunch, but they haven't had their main meal all day. I have already instructed the canteen to deliver dinner to others who have returned," Yue Chi replied.

Mo Yufeng ate very elegantly: "Yue Chi, what do you think about Yu Ying's matter?"

"No, no, no, you know me. I'm used to living a wild life and I really don't want to settle down!" Yue Chi said with a smile.

"You're thirty years old, and still a playboy?"

"Pavilion Master, please let me go! Ruochen is already 32 years old this year, he should be given priority."

Ye Ling smelled gossip: "Brother, what's going on with Yu Ying?"

"Miss Yu is here to get married in Langya Pavilion this time," Jiuyou said.

"Marriage?" Ye Ling and Meng Jing asked in unison.

"Calm down," Yue Chi said with a smile, "I have to choose one of the three Sishi as my husband. This was decided by Yu Zun and Su Lao Pavilion Master five years ago. We forgot about it, and only remembered it when we came here this time."

"Three? Those three?" Meng Jing immediately became alert.

"Heaven, Earth, and Man" Yue Chi raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Meng Jing stopped eating immediately: "Brother Mo, how could you do this? Zhuo Sishi can't participate. Didn't that old man Su leave? His words don't count. Sister Ye, please speak up!"

"Wait a minute," Ye Ling said, "Brother, Chixing Island and Langya Pavilion have nothing to do with each other, so why are they getting married?"

"To complement each other, Chixing Island has been suppressed too harshly by the Jiu clan in recent years. Yu Zun wants to find a powerful big tree so that the Jiu clan will be wary; and Langya Pavilion also has its own plans. We need a prestigious gang in Dayu to act as eyes, but more importantly, this matter was decided before, and too many people knew about it at the time. It would be a bit unfair for us to go back on our word now," said Mo Yufeng.

"Tsk~ Senior Brother, do you really want a Red Star Island?"

"Junior sister, don't underestimate Chixing Island. Their power is comparable to that of the Wulin Alliance. While our Langya Pavilion maintains neutrality, we also need some reliable allies who can turn the tide at critical moments. Didn't you say it yourself? The world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom. In fact, Langya Pavilion is all about human relationships and worldly wisdom," said Yue Chi.

"You said a lot, but I didn't quite understand. So... are you planning to marry her?"

"No, if Ruochen marries, he has no sweetheart and is older, so she's perfect for him."

"You're not going to marry me, so why are you asking so many questions today?"

"I'm asking on Ruochen's behalf, Pavilion Master. You should just take charge of this matter. He won't dare to disobey."

"Then I'll take it and make you the grandson-in-law of Chixing Island. Do you dare to disobey?"

"Pavilion Master, please, I...I can't control myself. What if something happens after we get married...wouldn't that make the girl sad?"

"Then it's Zhuo Wei" Mo Yufeng couldn't help laughing.

"No!" Meng Jing couldn't sit still any longer: "Sister Ye, please speak quickly!"

Ye Ling suppressed a laugh: "Sister, I can help with other things, but this is a matter of Langya Pavilion. I can't influence my senior brother's orders."

Meng Jing was furious: "You, you guys forget it. Envoy Zhuo won't agree to it. I'm going to tell Envoy Yue that you teased Yu Ying today, and then tell everyone about it. I'll see if you marry her or not."

"Miss, you can't talk nonsense!" Yue Chi was helpless.

"I'm going to tell you, women can do anything to defend their love!" Meng Jing began to threaten.

"Sit down and eat, Zhuo Wei has nothing to do with it," Mo Yufeng said with a smile.

"That's better." Meng Jing was easy to coax, and immediately sat down to continue eating. She was still planning in her mind that she would tell Zhuo Wei about this matter early tomorrow morning, so that he could prepare in advance and think of a reason to refuse. What if Yue Chi and Ji Ruochen both refused to marry her?
