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

Chapter 370 Life is often unhappy

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

The morning sun was very gentle. Four people were sitting at the table in the west courtyard of Xianren Peak, staring at each other in confusion.

Mo Yufeng, Jiuyou, and Jiuming all looked at Ye Ling. Her eyes were swollen and had dark circles under them, definitely the result of crying for a long time. Of the three, Mo Yufeng and Jiuyou were the most distressed. Jiuming was a little unsure what to do. They couldn't just sit there like this, could they?

In this situation, Mo Yufeng spoke first: "Junior brother, I will take your brother back to the Right Guest Hall first. Master Ke over there is a little bit unable to hold back. You and Junior sister should have a good chat."

"There's nothing to talk about," Ye Ling said. "I told Jiu Ming everything I needed to say last night. You two brothers can discuss the rest slowly. I won't participate or make any comments. Jiu You, I respect any decision you make. You don't have to worry about anything. But there's one thing I want to make clear. I won't be going to Dayu. I'm shy and don't like unfamiliar environments and people. That's it. You guys chat while I go see my sister-in-law first."

Looking at the person who walked out of the door, Mo Yufeng looked unhappy: "Junior brother, you shouldn't have let her cry alone last night. Look at how swollen her eyes are. She must have not slept all night."

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother, this is my fault." Jiuyou was also heartbroken and really regretted it. Why did he lose his mind last night and abandon his senior sister alone?

"In that case, you can take Jiu Ming back to the Youke Hall to reassure Ke Dan. Then it's okay for you to come back and live here. Let's discuss your affairs properly. Senior brother also respects your choice. You... can go back and visit your mother. The grace of giving birth to you is greater than heaven, but don't forget that you have a senior sister at home. She is waiting for you to come back." Mo Yufeng stood up and left after he finished speaking.

"I'm not going back yet. You go see my sister-in-law. We really shouldn't have left her alone in the room crying last night," Jiu Ming said.

"Senior sister has gone to see my sister-in-law. Let's go and reassure Ke Dan first, and then come back. It won't take too long."

Ye Ling didn't go to see Su Su at all. Later, he came to an uncultivated grassland behind the Immortal Peak, found a big tree, flew up to it, and admired the scenery with his eyes, but his thoughts were flying far away.

An hour later, Jiuyou accurately found Ye Ling. Looking at his back on the tree, he didn't dare to speak for a moment and just stood there staring blankly.

After a moment, Ye Ling said, "Have you seen enough?"

Jiuyou then flew up the tree, sat side by side with Ye Ling, and gently held her in his arms.

Neither of them spoke for a long time. After a while, Ye Ling whispered, "Will you one day embrace another woman and watch the scenery like this?"

Jiuyou was shocked: "No, never, Senior Sister, please stop imagining it, okay?"

Ye Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if it does happen, I won't embarrass you. It's better for everyone to throw away a heart that you can't keep."

"Sister, you..."

"You've already made up your mind to go back," Ye Ling interrupted Jiu You. "Go now, don't let yourself regret it for the rest of your life. I'll be waiting for you at Langya Pavilion. Protecting you is my only wish. Nothing else matters. But remember, if you don't come back, please tell me something. Don't keep me waiting foolishly. When you come back, we'll get married."

Jiuyou felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he tightened his grip on Ye Ling. "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will definitely be back before the New Year. Don't run around yet. Wait until I come back, and then we can go out and wander the world."

Ye Ling's heart ached. She hadn't expected Jiu You to be so direct and not consider it at all. As expected, nothing could resist the temptation of family affection. She could only smile in pain and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back. We won't discuss this matter anymore. You follow Yu Zun and leave quietly. Don't let anyone notice. It's safer this way."

"I'll do as you say," Jiuyou said softly, "Jiu Ming hasn't come back yet, so I let him stay in the right guest hall, so as not to attract attention."

"Yes, now that it's all decided, there's nothing to discuss."

"I want to spend the next two days with you."

Ye Ling turned to look at Jiu You and smiled slightly: "Okay, let's spend a few days together. We will be apart for at least three months."

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back in three months."

Ye Ling was still smiling, having made countless preparations in her mind, but unfortunately the other party could not sense her fear.

Five days later, on the eighth day of September, Mo Yufeng held his son's full moon banquet. Langya Pavilion was particularly lively. Mo Yinan was carried to the banquet hall and everyone gave their blessings.

Su Su was finally able to come out, and the air smelled sweet. Despite such a joyful scene, Ye Ling dealt with it perfunctorily. He didn't even go to the banquet hall. He just had a meal with Su Su at Xianren Peak, then found an excuse to leave. He went to the same place as before, sitting on a tree and watching the scenery.

Two days later at noon, Mo Yufeng made a rare return trip and accurately found Ye Ling: "Why do you always like to come here?"

"Sit on the tree and enjoy the scenery!" Ye Ling said with a smile.

Mo Yufeng also flew up the tree and sat next to Ye Ling: "Junior sister, today I came to look for you specifically."

"I know. You want to ask about Jiuyou? He has already decided to go back and see her. After all, she is his biological mother. I won't stop him, but I won't go back with him. I'll just wait here," Ye Ling said easily.

Mo Yufeng knew that Ye Ling was just pretending. "If that's the case, then Senior Brother, please say a few more words. The Jiu clan is not simple. Aren't you afraid that he won't be able to get out once he returns?"

"He's a man. If he really wants to come out, who can stop him? Unless he doesn't want to come back. If that's the case, I lose. Let's play another round. It doesn't matter."

"If you say it with a smile like this, it will make Senior Brother feel even more distressed."

"Brother, that's his mother. He wants to go back and see her. I can't stop him, right? If our fate is really over, forcing it won't have any good results. Let's just go with the flow! After all, no one can die."

Mo Yufeng sighed slightly: "Since you have made up your mind, then... be strong. Don't forget, you still have your senior brother."

"Yeah" Ye Ling smiled with tears in her eyes.

Not long after Mo Yufeng left, Ji Ruochen arrived.

Ye Ling was a little surprised: "Brother Ji, how did you find this place?"

"Ma Tao, come down, I have something to say," Ji Ruochen said in a somewhat angry tone.

"Oh." Ye Ling flew down from the tree and sat on the swing that Ma Tao had made nearby, swinging back and forth. "Brother Ji, you're going to be the groom tomorrow. It's not appropriate for you to come to my place today, is it?"

"Do you agree to let Jiuyou go back?" Ji Ruochen went straight to the point.

"Yes, it's natural for people to go home to see their mothers. It's natural and reasonable."

"Aren't you afraid he'll never come back?"

"That's my life too. I can't stop it, right?"

Ji Ruochen was speechless for a moment: "You... Today I will say a few words to you as your brother, please don't mind."

"Brother said, sister is listening, I definitely don't mind," Ye Ling said with a smile. She didn't know why Ji Ruochen cared about her so much, and it was a sincere concern.

Ji Ruochen continued, "The only wrong thing you've done in your life is letting Jiuyou cheat on you and lose your virginity before you even got married. Do you know what that means? What would you do if he never came back? Have you ever thought about it? In my opinion, he shouldn't be allowed to go back. Who made him so bold as to cheat on you?"

Ye Ling smiled and said, "Brother Ji, thank you for your love, but it takes two to tango. I am also at fault. Now that it has come to this, let's just accept our fate. Besides, I believe Jiuyou, he will come back."

Ji Ruochen was also distressed and helpless: "You are good in everything, but in this matter... you obey Jiuyou in everything."

"Brother, loving someone means making him happy, not forcibly possessing him. No matter what, I have you senior brothers, which is enough for my life. Anyway, with you as my backing, I can walk around freely when I go out," Ye Ling said with a smile.

"You! You are so careless!" Ji Ruochen was so angry that he had nothing to say: "In that case, I will leave and come to play tomorrow."

"No problem, groom, go ahead!"

Not long after Ji Ruochen left, Yue Chi arrived.

Ye Ling sat on the swing and smiled: "Did you...did you guys agree on this? One by one?"

"What?" Yue Chi obviously didn't understand and sat down on the stone opposite the swing. "I heard Jiuyou is going home?"

Ye Ling smiled: "Same opening line, yes, he's leaving, but he'll come back."

"Do you really think so?"

"if not?"

"Clan leader Jiu Zhongtian is an old stubborn person. It won't be easy for Jiuyou to figure it out after he goes back. Are you sure you want to let go?"

"What's wrong with each of you? Jiuyou is an adult, he makes his own choices in life, I won't get involved. If he really can't get out, then it's the end of our fate, it doesn't matter."

Yue Chi looked at Ye Ling deeply and said slowly, "Junior sister, are you truly free and easy or are you just pretending to be strong? The you I know is not someone who can let go so easily."

Ye Ling looked off into the distance and said calmly, "Senior Brother Yue, I simply don't want to be a shackle to Jiuyou. How could a grown man be trapped so easily? And if I force him to stay, his mother will pass away. Wouldn't that be a lifelong regret for him? Rather than that, it's better to give him the freedom to make his own choice."

Yue Chi sighed, "But have you ever thought about what if his heart changes? The pressure of family and the temptation of power can change a person."

Ye Ling was silent for a moment, then a faint bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Then I accept it. The beautiful memories I once had are enough to support me for the rest of my life."

Yue Chi also revealed a bitter smile: "Girl, you...sometimes your words poke at my heart. It makes me uncomfortable to hear this."

"To be honest, I know that within Langya Pavilion, you three are the only ones who treat me like a real sister, Senior Brother, Senior Brother Ji, and you. So when you heard about this, you couldn't wait to come to me and ask for advice. Senior Brother Ji even said a few words to me just now, and I feel so happy. Because who would risk offending others by saying something about you if they didn't truly care about you? With you around, I can live a worry-free life for the rest of my life."

Yue Chi sighed heavily: "Life is mostly unsatisfactory. It's too difficult."
