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

Chapter 367: There is a ghost in Langya Pavilion

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

After dealing with Woods and the others, Ye Ling turned around and saw that the people around him were gone: "Jiuyou? Junior Brother?"

The onlookers shook their heads: "I didn't see it."

Jiu Ming had already returned to the Youke Hall using light skills. He quickly poured himself a glass of water to calm his nerves. If he hadn't met Woods and his friends, he would have had a hard time escaping today.

A moment later, Ke Dan trotted in. "Cousin, guess what I saw? I don't know what happened to Woods, but he was covered in white powder. He and a few other people like him went to Tianzitang to file a complaint."

"What?" Jiu Ming suddenly stood up: "Oh no, I don't know if Ji Sishi will vent his anger on Miss Ye."

"Miss Ye? What do you mean? Are you saying that Miss Ye was responsible for their miserable appearance? Haha..." Ke Dan laughed: "That's very interesting. I'm most happy to get involved in this kind of thing. It's a pity, but don't worry, cousin. With Pavilion Master Mo's love for Miss Ye, Ji Sishi will not blame her."

On the other side, Woods and his companions cried and told Ji Ruochen what had just happened.

Ji Ruochen tried hard not to laugh out loud: "Everyone, I'm so sorry, my junior sister is used to getting into trouble. She definitely didn't mean it, and you guys are not hurt. Just go back and wash yourself! I'll teach my sister a lesson later."

"Since Ji Sishi has said so, we will go back." Woods had no choice but to give up.

After they left, Xi Yuan finally laughed out loud: "Young lady is so funny. She was embarrassed by the explosion yesterday, and today she used it on these people."

"Envoy" Du Jiang walked in with a smile: "The eldest lady and Yu Yan met again just now, and she recognized the wrong person again. Who knew she would run into these unlucky guys, and two thunder bombs blew her into a mess."

"I don't know when Jiuyou will tell senior brother about this. It's not a good thing to always admit mistakes." Ji Ruochen couldn't help laughing.

Ye Ling returned with a full load. Upon returning to the west courtyard of Immortal Peak, she saw Jiu You practicing martial arts. She wondered, "Meng Meng, why did he leave me behind and come back? This is so unreasonable!"

"Anyway, Mengmeng thinks that Jiuyou in the orchard is weird, but there is nothing wrong with his aura," Mengmeng said.

Jiuyou stopped practicing martial arts: "Senior sister is back, this is what you wanted."

"Huh?" Ye Ling looked at the two white balls in Jiuyou's hand, feeling even more confused. "How many did you make?"

"There are only these two, no more. You... should use them sparingly, because there won't be more in the future," Jiuyou said.

Ye Ling slowly took the thunder bomb: "You...what did you do when you went out today?"

"I didn't go out," Jiuyou denied, pulling Ye Ling to sit at the table in the courtyard: "Come, Senior Brother Yue sent some snacks, he said they were made by Master Liu, and this box was sent by Senior Brother Ji."

Ye Ling suddenly felt a little scared. "I'll go wash my hands first," he said. After that, he quickly ran into the room, closed the door, and entered the space: "Mengmeng, Jiuyou said he didn't go out, so what was that thing I saw today? A monster?"

"Impossible, Master. This isn't a fantasy world. Where would the monsters come from? He...he is Jiuyou. The aura and everything are exactly the same. There's no mistake. It must be Jiuyou who is lying to you, playing a prank on you, but..."

"But what?"

"Something seems to be wrong, but Mengmeng can't put his finger on it."

"No, I feel a little cold on my back! Do you think... there might really be a ghost? He doesn't dare to speak... No, no, I have to go out and try again to see if Jiuyou went out today. If not, then... there is a ghost in the orchard of Langya Pavilion, and it's a man..." Ye Ling pretended to be scared.

"Don't come on, Master, are you afraid of ghosts?"

Ye Ling snorted, left the space, and came to the yard, eating snacks as if nothing had happened: "Junior brother, there is no fruit in my space, not even a single watermelon. I want to pick some."

"I'll accompany you to pick them tomorrow," Jiuyou said.

Ye Ling's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and said, "Then don't forget. Oh, by the way, Senior Brother will definitely be using fruit for the full moon banquet. I wonder if Ma Tao has sent people to pick it?"

"I don't know. Ma Tao is very careful and must have sent someone there a long time ago. Senior sister, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters," Jiuyou said.

Ye Ling’s heart sank: Mengmeng, we really encountered a ghost!

"Senior Sister, are you okay? Why do you suddenly look so grim?"

"It's okay, I'm just... a little tired. I'm going to take a nap. Remember to call me for dinner tonight." Ye Ling took away two boxes of snacks and returned to the room and entered the space.

Meng Meng quickly spoke up: "Master, could it be that Jiuyou is playing a prank on you? A prank?"

"Do you think he's the type to pull a practical joke?"

"This... is probably not the case."

Ye Ling was lost in thought and was absent-minded during dinner.

Early the next morning, Ye Ling told Jiuyou that she had some personal matters to attend to and would go pick fruit tomorrow.

Jiuyou was also very happy that he could avoid Jiuming, but he was thinking about this matter all the time. He was already wavering in his heart about whether he should go back to see his mother.

Ye Ling hid his whereabouts all the way and went straight to the orchard pavilion, then entered the space to wait and made a sword with a piece of peach wood.

Meng Meng was speechless: "Master, there are no ghosts or monsters in this world."

"You know shit. A peach wood sword for self-defense is always a good idea. Wait, is this a human skin mask? Don't TV dramas always have disguises?"

"Let's talk about it after we catch him, Master. Do you think he will come today?"

"Of course. I think this pavilion is his birthplace, or perhaps his mutation point. We are just sitting back and waiting for the rabbit to come to us. We will close the door and beat the dog, or catch the turtle in the jar," Ye Ling said as he made his own peach wood sword.

Time passed by minute by minute, and it was almost noon. Ye Ling used the space kitchen to make lunch for herself and ate it happily. After the meal, she lay on the sofa to sleep, while Mengmeng monitored everything outside.

Just as noon arrived, Meng Meng suddenly shouted, "Master, Master, he's coming, Jiuyou is coming, and his aura is exactly the same."

Ye Ling immediately entered combat mode, holding the peach wood sword: "Meng Meng, wait and see how I can reveal the true form of this evildoer."

Jiu Ming really came, because he said that he would come here to wait for Jiu You at noon every day. Today he was very cautious, changed his clothes, and refused to take off his mask.

It was hot at noon, but the orchard was well ventilated and it was cool sitting in the pavilion.

Ye Ling suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding a peach wood sword against Jiu Ming's neck. "Don't move, or I'll kill you." He then slowly turned to the front, and after seeing his face clearly, he quickly put away the peach wood sword. "Master... Master Yu?"

Jiu Ming stood up calmly and bowed, "Miss Ye."

Ye Ling smiled awkwardly but politely: "I'm sorry, I... recognized the wrong person, Mr. Yu, please don't be angry."

"Miss Ye, you are too serious."

At this moment, Space Mengmeng was no longer calm: "Master, he has the aura of Jiuyou. Mengmeng finally understands why I felt strange when I saw Yu Yan before."

Ye Ling asked in her heart: What do you mean?

"Master, Meng Meng can't see the outside world. He relies on his aura to identify people. His aura is exactly the same as Jiuyou's."

Ye Ling looked at the person in front of him seriously and found that his lips and chin were like Jiuyou, so he made a decision: Mengmeng, I will take off his mask and take a look.

"Will he go to Pavilion Master Mo to complain?"

"It's okay. The worst that can happen is I'll get scolded. I can just act coquettishly and that'll be fine." Ye Ling said as he took a step forward and said with a smile, "Master Yu, I heard you're good at martial arts. Can we have a few moves? Just a few moves, no harm done."

"I dare not. Miss Ye is a master on the Langya List. I dare not. I have something else to do, so I will leave first." Jiu Ming thought and ran away immediately.

"Wait a minute!" Ye Ling smiled mischievously, blocking Jiu Ming's way. "Young man, this is not up to you. There are countless people in this world who want to fight me. Don't be ungrateful!"

"Miss Ye, I really have something to do..."

"Stop talking nonsense and watch this." Ye Ling made a quick move.

Jiu Ming quickly dodged, and the two started fighting with bare hands.

After just a few moves, Jiu Ming was no match for his opponent, after all, the opponent was a master on the Langya List.

Ye Ling continued to let Jiu Ming win. After dozens of moves, she found the right opportunity, dodged Jiu Ming with a feint, and reached out to tear off his mask.

The face behind the mask was exactly like Jiuyou's. Ye Ling was stunned and stopped what he was doing.

Jiu Ming looked at Ye Ling with panic and complicated eyes, not daring to move.

"Who are you? Why do you have the aura of Jiuyou? And you look exactly like Jiuyou?" Ye Ling asked.

Jiu Ming slowly retreated and prepared to escape again.

Ye Ling waved her sleeves, and she and Jiu Ming entered the ancient-style room in the space together.

Jiu Ming was shocked and prepared to rush out, but no matter what he did, he couldn't open the door.

Ye Ling waved his hand again, and Jiu Ming was tied to a stool in the room.

Mengmeng flew in: "Wow! You really look exactly like Jiuyou! Let me see if you are a monster, Master. He is a human, not a monster!"

Ye Ling rubbed Jiu Ming's face and said, "Huh? It's not a human skin mask? Tell me, who are you? If you don't tell me today, don't even think about leaving here."

Jiu Ming looked at Meng Meng in horror, who was flying around and talking in front of him, his brain spinning rapidly.

Meng Meng landed on Ye Ling's shoulder and whispered, "Master, could he really be Jiu You, playing a prank on you?"

Ye Ling nodded slightly and replied in his heart: What you said makes sense, then... lock him up here, you watch over me, I will go back to Xianren Peak immediately to see if Jiuyou is there.

"Master, don't worry. This stool has been specially treated. Even an elephant tied to it can't move."

Jiu Ming watched Ye Ling open the door and leave, and then he and a talking bird were the only ones left in the room.

Meng Meng said, "If you want to pee, just tell me. Don't poop in your pants. It's disgusting. But I'm telling you, you'd better not play tricks. If my master gets angry, he'll stew you and eat your meat."

Jiu Ming was genuinely frightened. After all, he had been suddenly brought into this room. The lights were terrifyingly bright, as if it were daytime. A talking bird was flying around. And when he thought about the watermelon that had suddenly disappeared yesterday, it all felt too terrifying. Could it be that Ye Ling was a demon? Did he really eat people?
