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

Chapter 359: About the Selection of Son-in-Law for the Yu Family

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

After Ye Ling and Jiu You left, Bai Kai was still worried. However, his superior Du Jiang always stayed at his home in the back mountains at night, so he could only return to Tianzi Hall as quickly as possible. He mustered up his courage and knocked on Ji Ruochen's door. "Envoy, your subordinate Bai Kai has an urgent matter to report."

Ji Ruochen opened the door in his underwear: "What's wrong?"

"Miss Ye and Young Master Jiu are gone. They just left on horseback."

"What?" Ji Ruochen was obviously panicked: "Did you ask the reason?"

"I asked, and she said she was going to pick someone up and would be back the day after tomorrow."

"To pick someone up?" Ji Ruochen thought about it for a moment and then felt relieved: "Okay, I know who she is going to pick up."

"Miss Ye seems to have been crying. Her eyes are red, but she promised me that she would return home on time."

Ji Ruochen nodded: "She will be back on time. You go to guard it. Don't tell anyone about this. Tell everyone who saw it tonight to keep their mouths shut."

"Yes." Bai Kai then left with peace of mind.

Chen Fei heard the commotion and came over: "Secretary, do you want to send someone for protection? The person who disappeared in Phoenix Mountain has not been found yet."

"Don't worry, there is almost no one in the world who can stump Ye Ling, not to mention Jiuyou." Ji Ruochen turned and entered the room without closing the door.

Chen Fei followed him in. Both of them couldn't sleep, so they could only sit down and chat.

Fade Chen spoke first, "Envoy, have your subordinates keep an eye on Jin Yu. There's nothing wrong these past two days. However, that Imperial Banquet never took off his mask; he wore it even when he slept or ate, so we didn't see his true face."

"Jinyu, Junior Sister Ye said there was something wrong with him. Yue Chi checked twice and nothing was wrong, but he... was intentionally approaching Junior Sister Ye. Something's still not right."

"Then I will continue to watch."

"Yu Yan, regardless of whether he is disfigured or not, we must see his true face. How could a perfectly good person suddenly become disfigured? Wearing a mask always strikes me as suspicious. Our hall is responsible for the safety of Langya Pavilion, and we must verify the accurate identity of everyone who comes up the mountain. Ninth Junior Brother and Ye Junior Sister will be away for the next two days. Tell Du Jiang tomorrow to send me more people to guard the Immortal Peak. In addition, add some secret posts in the pavilion, especially at night, and activate all the deadly traps. If anyone acts unruly and dies, it's not our fault."

"Yes, I have remembered it."

"It's getting late, go to bed!"

"Then you should go to bed early too." Chen Fei then left.

Early the next morning, Mo Yufeng learned about Ye Ling's departure. Yue Chi complained on the spot: "Jiuyou, how could you be so quick to speak? You said it right away?"

"He's afraid that Junior Sister Ye will settle the score with him later. This kid dares to be arrogant with anyone, but he is too timid in front of Junior Sister Ye," said Ji Ruochen.

"In order to avoid unnecessary complications, this matter cannot be made known to anyone," said Mo Yufeng.

"I warned the guards last night."

"Okay, since you two are here, let's discuss who will marry Yuying. As your leader, I have the responsibility to take charge of your lifelong affairs. You two are not young anymore. The worst of the three unfilial acts is to have no descendants. Although you have been wandering since childhood, now that you have the ability, it's time to start a family. The son-in-law of Chixing Island is very prestigious," said Mo Yufeng.

"Pavilion Master..."

"Listen to me," Mo Yufeng interrupted Yue Chi. "The Feiniao Peak next to the Immortal Peak is quite spacious. It's no problem to build three courtyards with four entrances and exits. Two have already been built. Didn't you two each choose one? Are you both renovating them?"

"Yes, I named my yard Qiu Shui Tai, and Ruochen's was Yue Lai Feng. I must make my yard beautiful," Yue Chi said happily.

Mo Yufeng was very disgusted: "Now that you have a yard, you have to get married quickly. Ruochen, you... marry him. Yue Chi is unreliable, and Yu Zun is also interested in you being his grandson-in-law."

"But... Pavilion Master, I don't know Miss Yu at all, how can I marry her?" Ji Ruochen was in a dilemma.

"As for a woman, you marry her, treat her with respect, and let her carry on your family line. You've seen her, haven't you? She's so beautiful, isn't she?"

"That's right," Yue Chi quickly chimed in, "You don't have a good woman to worry about, so just think of it as sharing your worries for the Pavilion Master, right?"

"But..." Ji Ruochen was in trouble.

"Don't say but. With your current family background, it's more than enough for you to marry three Yuyings. Besides, the Yu family is not short of money, so the dowry will definitely be very generous," Yue Chi said.

"Am I talking about the money?" Ji Ruochen said.

"Ruochen, I know that you were invited to Huaqing Cave yesterday afternoon. The two old seniors both wanted you to marry her, so just marry her, bring her home, and give her food and drink. You don't have to serve her every day, right?" Mo Yufeng said.

Ji Ruochen actually knew that he had to marry this wife, so he just wanted to struggle: "You arrange it!"

"That's right," Yue Chi felt relieved.

"Don't gloat over your misfortune. Hurry up and find a woman to have children. At least make a contribution to Langya Pavilion, right? Didn't we say that we want Langya Pavilion to be in the hands of the three of us for at least three generations? Look at you two, how can you say three generations?" Mo Yufeng said.

"The Pavilion Master is right. We kowtowed and swore an oath together, so we must work hard to fulfill it. Therefore, the choice of the wife is also very important," said Ji Ruochen.

"Have you figured it out? If you marry Yuying, you'll have the external support of Chixing Island, and your children's future will be brighter. Yue Chi, you should also think carefully about this."

Yue Chi was thoughtful: "Will Zhuo Wei really marry Meng Jing?"

"What about you? Why do you worry about others?"

"I know. I'm just trying to think about it. Pavilion Master, why don't you two take a few more concubines? Wouldn't that give you more external support? I'm sure that if you announce to the public that you're taking concubines, many girls from gangs will rush to come," said Yue Chi.

Mo Yufeng was speechless: "You two can do this kind of thing, but I won't do it. My junior sister will kill me for Susu."

"So, you really have this intention?" Yue Chi said with ill intention, "That's right. A man who once dominated the world can't easily settle down."

"Shut up!"

"Let's leave it at that. Let's talk business first, Pavilion Master. Jinyu's matter is urgent," said Ji Ruochen.

"I have asked Qiao Rui to go down the mountain. Didn't he say that he has a shop in Zhezhou? Then let's start from this shop. I want to see what kind of person he is," said Yue Chi.

"Yue Chi, check Jin Yu. Ruo Chen, quickly have someone clean up Yue Lai Feng."

"Is it suitable for people to live here?" Yue Chi asked.

"You can live here now. I didn't move there because it was too far from Tianzi Hall."

"What you're saying is ridiculous. Immortal Peak is even farther from Ganlu Palace, but I still go home every day. It only takes a quarter of an hour on horseback, so how far is that? Hurry up and have Xi Yuan move out, and go home at night. Do you all want to be like the old Si Shi? Want to build your home in Zhezhou City?"

"How is that possible? I don't want to buy a yard in Zhezhou City. It's much quieter to live in the mountains," said Yue Chi.

"Then don't waste time and move quickly. By the way, tell Zhuo Wei that the third courtyard was given to him by the pavilion, but he must treat everyone equally and decorate it himself."

"Yes," Yue Chi responded.

The meeting in Ganlu Hall was over. In Zuoke Hall, Jinyu looked out the back window. The scenery in the distance was beautiful.

The servant behind him said, "Sir, didn't you say we were leaving?"

"You can't leave. If you leave, it would be like confessing yourself," Jin Yu said.

"You shouldn't have accepted that fish soup yesterday, but... maybe no one noticed."

Jin Yu smiled and said, "Others may not notice it, but Ye Ling is no pushover. Never underestimate the keen perception of a master."

"Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to stay?"

"What's the danger? Even if they find out that I'm the Palace Master of Shuiyue Palace, so what? Did I do something wrong?"

"Right"

"Just stay calm, maybe I'm just being overly suspicious."

"Yes."

Zhou Tao pushed open the door to another guest room and walked in. "Brother Wu, what are you doing? Ever since you came back yesterday, you've been staying in your room and refusing to come out. What are you thinking about? Are you really scared of that guy named Shi Chuan?"

"Get out" Woods was upset.

"I don't. You must tell me clearly today. What happened?"

"We've offended someone, the person we shouldn't have offended, and you're still in the mood to play?" Woods said angrily.

"Who is it? Shi Chuan? Or Yue Sishi?"

"Did your father tell you before he left who the person you must not offend most when you go to Langya Pavilion?"

"Yes, Ye Ling," Zhou Tao suddenly lowered his voice, "My father said that woman is a lunatic. She even dared to attack the prince. We can't offend her."

"Before he left, my father repeatedly warned me not to have any conflict with Ye Ling. He already had a grudge against Ye Ling and Pavilion Master Mo. I shouldn't have opened my mouth and joined Senior Su in forcing Ye Ling to leave, making Mo Yufeng hold a grudge against him. Now I have made a big mistake," said Woods.

"But...but we have never met Ye Ling, so how can we say we have offended him?" Zhou Tao was even more confused.

"That Shi Chuan is Ye Ling."

"how is this possible?"

"She already revealed her identity on the way back yesterday. How could that be possible? The only person my father had offended in Langya Pavilion was Ye Ling, so she said she had a grudge against me."

Zhou Tao collapsed in shock: "I...I offended Ye Ling yesterday?"

"You still want to fight with others."

"I... I almost died! Brother Wu, let's go. This is Ye Ling's territory. We are not safe anymore. Let's go!"

"You're such a loser! If you leave now, how can we hold our heads high in the martial arts world? For the next few days, we shouldn't have any contact with her. We'll leave as soon as the full moon banquet is over."

"But...but I'm afraid she'll deal with us like she did with King Xian."

"As long as you don't do anything stupid again, you won't die. Just stay here and don't go wandering around anymore."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

"I planned everything, but I didn't expect Ye Ling to appear in a man's clothing. If I had known this, I should have made a portrait of her in advance so that I wouldn't have been unable to recognize her." Woods regretted it to death.

"The key is that Yue Si asked them to play with Ye Ling!"

"Father said that Senior Su has given up his position and Mo Yufeng has taken over the reins of power. That's why Ye Ling is now walking around in Langya Pavilion with impunity, and no one dares to mess with her."

"As for Langya Pavilion, I think few people in the world dare to mess with her."
