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

Chapter 368 True and False Jiuyou

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

Ye Ling used his Qinggong skills to return to the Immortal Peak. When he entered the west courtyard, he saw Jiu You making a small lotus pond. "Junior brother?"

"Senior Sister is back," Jiuyou smiled slightly.

Ye Ling quickly walked up to Jiuyou, observed him carefully, and then stood on tiptoe to kiss Jiuyou.

Jiuyou grabbed the other person's waist and wanted to deepen the kiss.

Ye Ling refused to do so and quickly pushed the other person away: "Don't think too much, I just wanted to see if your reaction is normal. The examination is completed, everything is normal, I want to take a nap."

"Then go to sleep quickly! I'll keep my voice down," Jiuyou said.

"No need, I'm going into the space to sleep, you go about your business." Ye Ling said as he went back to the house and entered the space.

"Master, it has been confirmed that this thing is a monster," Mengmeng said.

Ye Ling pulled a stool and sat across from Jiu Ming. "I don't believe in ghosts and monsters in this world. You'd better tell me the truth. What is your relationship with Jiu You? Did you come to Langya Pavilion under the guise of Yu Yan in order to take Jiu You away? I finally understand. The evidence of your recognition of Jiu You is not that broken jade pendant at all, but an identical face, right?"

"Master, what are you talking about?" Mengmeng looked confused.

Ye Ling's lips curled slightly: "He is Jiuyou's older brother or younger brother, or he is a twin, so he looks the same and has the same aura. That's how you can tell the real one from the fake one."

"So that's how it is! You, confess the truth quickly, otherwise... my master will eat you," Mengmeng threatened.

Jiu Ming still didn't want to speak, because Jiu You once warned him not to let Ye Ling know of his existence, but now, does it make any difference whether he says it or not?

Ye Ling smiled and stood up. "You don't have to tell me, but I can make you disappear from this world. No one will notice anything. Even Du Qianshi from the Renzitang who was following you will just say he saw nothing. There can only be one Jiuyou in this world. He is my man. No one can take him away, not even you."

Jiu Ming still insisted on keeping silent, thinking that his brother would definitely rescue him.

Ye Ling continued, "If it weren't for your face, I would have stewed you for meat long ago. You two brothers have similar personalities, both of you are taciturn. Let me tell you, if you don't speak, I have plenty of time. Even if someone outside turns Langya Pavilion upside down, they won't be able to find this place. Mengmeng, untie him and don't let him leave this room."

"Okay, master," Mengmeng responded, and the rope of the stool disappeared in an instant.

Ye Ling also left the room. Meng Meng said, "There's some water on the table. Drink it yourself. The white door next to it is the bathroom, which is what you call a toilet. Whether you're pooping or peeing, you have to press the big red button to flush it. Just wait for your turn!"

Jiu Ming was left alone in the room. He touched his arm, which hurt from being tied up, and stood up to observe the surroundings. It looked like an ordinary room, but the ceiling light puzzled him; it was too bright. He then opened the door Meng Meng had mentioned and found that the inside was different from the outside. The bronze mirror shone brightly, and his appearance was clearly reflected. Under the mirror were many toiletries. The toilet was surprisingly white, with a red button on it that was very conspicuous. He pressed it tentatively, and a sound of running water was heard, which startled Jiu Ming. He cautiously retreated, and his curiosity about this strange place became even more intense.

Ye Ling acted as if nothing had happened and left the space. She was sure that Jiuyou had met the person pretending to be Yu Yan, otherwise Jiuyou would not have the white thunder bomb. She just wanted to see when the other party would mention this matter.

On the other side, Du Jiang trotted into the Tianzi Hall and said, "Emissary, something bad has happened. I followed Yu Yan to the orchard today, but Miss Ye was waiting for me. She and Yu Yan started fighting, and her internal energy was fully activated. I didn't dare to show my face, let alone get too close. But by the time I realized what was happening, both of them were gone. The next time I looked, Miss Ye was the only one who had left the orchard."

"Then go look for it!"

"We've looked for him. I sent people to search for over an hour, turning the entire orchard upside down, but we still can't find Yu Yan. He definitely didn't leave. I just went to the Right Guest Hall, and they said Young Master Yu left before noon and hasn't returned. What do you think? Could it be that the eldest lady killed someone and buried the body? She doesn't want Jiu You to leave."

"Impossible," Ji Ruochen denied. "Just based on his face, Junior Sister wouldn't have the heart to kill him. This is called loving the house and loving the dog. You should hurry up and look for him again. Send someone to Immortal Peak and ask around to see if he's there. I'll go find the Pavilion Master."

"Yes." Du Jiang didn't dare to delay and left quickly.

Ji Ruochen came to Ganlu Palace to explain the whole story to Mo Yufeng. Mo Yufeng was helpless: "Don't look for him anymore. I know where he is. You... just pretend nothing happened. Junior Sister won't kill him."

"Okay, I still feel..."

"Pavilion Master" Yue Chi hurried in and said, "There's news from down the mountain. Jin Yu finished handling the shop's affairs and left for Qingzhou at noon today. He didn't come into contact with any suspicious people during his stay. The cause of the shop fire has also been investigated. It was his uncle in Yunzhou who sent people to do it. It happened twice. The authorities have already arrested them."

"Could it be that we are really wrong?" Ji Ruochen began to doubt himself: "Where is Liangxue? Any news?"

"No, there's no clue at all. It's like he disappeared from the face of the earth."

"This is not his character. Logically, he should seek revenge on his junior sister. His brother's body is still in Langya Pavilion," said Ji Ruochen.

"I didn't expect that Jin Yu is such a difficult person. Yue Chi, you ask someone to keep an eye on him. I don't believe he will reveal any flaws," said Mo Yufeng.

"Yes, by the way, Da'e sent a letter saying that the wife of the Jiu clan leader is critically ill. They have already searched for famous doctors. It is very likely that she is Jiuyou's mother."

"This matter..." Ji Ruochen looked at Mo Yufeng: "Can you tell Jiuyou?"

"Let's wait and see."

"The last thing I think is a bit far-fetched. A letter came from Quezhou saying that Xue Jingchuan is missing. The emperor is very tight-lipped, so we can only find out this much. We don't know exactly how he disappeared. Also, Yue Kun is coming to the pavilion, probably to ask about the people who disappeared from Phoenix Mountain. They won't be able to find out about this for a while."

"Prepare the answer and give it to him when he comes. Just mention Shuiyue Palace and the Xue brothers. Don't mention Jinyu for now because we are not sure yet."

"Yes, I understand."

"Ruochen, send someone to tell Master Ke that Yu Yan was invited by... Yue Chi to drink, and he may not be back tonight," said Mo Yufeng.

"By me?" Yue Chi looked puzzled.

"It's none of your business. Okay, go back!"

"Yes," the two responded.

In the evening, Mo Yufeng returned to Langya Pavilion early for dinner, with the purpose of seeing if there was any chaos at home.

At the dinner table, Ye Ling was surprisingly calm, chatting and laughing with Jiu You, and didn't seem angry at all.

Seeing that the meal was almost over, Mo Yufeng could only begin: "Something happened in the pavilion today. The young master of the Yu family disappeared, and Ruochen is still leading people to look for him."

Ye Ling was a talented actor, and he spoke without leaving any trace: "Yu Yan? Why is he gone?"

"According to Du Jiang's report, he disappeared in the orchard, but Ruochen searched the entire orchard and couldn't find him. I have to go check on him after dinner. If a living person were left in our Langya Pavilion, wouldn't everyone be laughing to death if the news got out?"

"Orchard? Is anyone leaving today?" Jiuyou was inexplicably worried and nervous. He remembered what happened to him in the orchard.

"No, Ruochen immediately ordered people to seal off the mountain, and only people can enter but not leave. But if we can't find this person, we will have a hard time explaining it." Mo Yufeng pretended to be worried.

Ye Ling remained calm and said, "It's none of my business, so I'll just ignore it. I'm full, you guys take your time eating and go back to sleep."

Looking at the people leaving, Mo Yufeng stared at Jiuyou and communicated with his eyes, because there was also Meng Jing at the dinner table.

Jiuyou suddenly understood something and became nervous. He stood up and left immediately, jogging to catch up with Ye Ling: "Senior Sister."

"Have you finished eating too?" Ye Ling asked with a smile.

"Yes, that... can I be with you tonight..."

"No," Ye Ling interrupted Jiu You, "We said we're not allowed to sleep together before marriage. Can you keep your promise to me?"

"I know. I want to go to the room in the space to rest. I will never step into your room. It's been too hot outside these two days and I can't sleep." Jiuyou wanted to go in and see if his brother was locked in the space by Ye Ling.

"No, I'll say it again. We must keep our distance before marriage. If you do this again, I'll...I'll move to Qianqing Courtyard, and we're not allowed to see each other again before marriage."

"Senior Sister...I...I want to go in and take a shower, okay?"

"How did you take a bath before I was around?"

"The past is the past, and the present is now! It's too inconvenient to wash outside. Please, senior sister." Jiuyou began to use his usual tricks.

"Okay, then let's wash it." Ye Ling smiled harmlessly and said in his heart: Mengmeng, knock him out for me and put him in the secret room in my room.

There is a secret room in Ye Ling's room, and Jiu You doesn't even know of its existence.

After a while, Jiuyou finally entered the space as he wished. Ye Ling said, "Junior brother, go to your room and take a shower. I'll take a shower in mine. We won't interfere with each other. When you're done, let Mengmeng let you out."

"Okay, I'll take you in." Jiuyou escorted Ye Ling to the bedroom, took a quick look inside, and then came out to quickly search all the rooms in the space. Finding no one there, he locked his gaze on Mengmeng again: "Mengmeng, be good, did Senior Sister bring anyone into the space today?"

"No." Mengmeng stood on Ye Ling's side and denied it immediately.

Jiuyou was even more anxious this time. He didn't even wash and went straight out of the space to find Mo Yufeng.

Ye Ling crossed his arms and walked out of the bedroom with a smile: "Little guy, you still want to find someone here, Mengmeng, take that person back and wake him up."

"I've taken it back, Master. What if the Pavilion is really looking for someone?"

"Don't worry, the senior brothers obviously know that I took the person away. They will try to hide it for a day or two. I'll play with it for a while first." Ye Ling said as he went to the kitchen, made two simple dishes and a bowl of rice, put them in a lunch box, and brought it to the ancient-style room.
