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

Cangyue Country——Nanlai Street

Nangong Chen still didn't quite believe Ye Ling's words: "I'll let Xuan Lei take you back. Have a good rest tonight and don't run around anymore."

"Where are you going?" Ye Ling really didn't want to go back. It was too boring.

"Noble House"

"I'll go as well"

"No," Nangong Chen refused.

"why?"

"Do you know where that is?"

“Of course I know, I’ve been there twice.”

"what?"

"Jingchuan took me there for the first time. We played a lot of interesting things. It was so lively."

Nangong Chen's face darkened: "He took you there? Did you have a lot of fun? He...this beast."

"Who are you scolding? Jingchuan means well, he's afraid that I'll be bored. Besides, there are a lot of female customers in that place, not just me. The second time I went there alone, I encountered an assassination attempt."

"Wasn't the assassination taking place outside the Guiren Pavilion?" Ying Ren was puzzled.

"Young Master Xue was afraid that his master would know that he took Miss Ye to that kind of place, so he didn't dare to tell anyone." Xuan Lei was speechless.

Nangong Chen tried hard to calm himself down, and then spoke earnestly, "Ye Ling, you are inexperienced and you don't understand what that place is about."

"Brothel," Xuan Lei said directly.

"You're talking nonsense!" Ye Ling disagreed: "I don't want to bother arguing with you guys. I have things to do. If you don't let me go, then don't go. I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute, Xuan Lei, send Miss Ye back."

"I don't want him to send me off, I want my little brother to send me off." Ye Ling raised his eyebrows and smiled at Ying Ren.

Shadow Blade looked at Nangong Chen as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "Your Highness, your subordinate..."

"Then go and send her off! Don't let her run around anymore. She needs to rest more if she has a headache." Nangong Chen said and left.

Looking at the person walking away, Ye Ling looked at Ying Ren with a smirk on his face: Meng Meng, a fool is here, what do you think?

"Obedient and silly, quite suitable," Mengmeng also agreed.

Shadow Blade's back went numb from being stared at: "Miss Ye, let me take you home!"

"Little brother, the prince told you to look after me and not run around!" Ye Ling raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Then... let's go." Ying Ren was really scared. Taking care of women was not his strong point, and now he met someone who could fight, which made it even more difficult.

The two returned to Tianlaike, and Ye Ling refused to go upstairs: "Little brother, come with me to somewhere!"

"Where to go? I have to go back to protect His Highness," Ying Ren was unwilling.

Ye Ling grabbed Ying Ren's arm and started to act coquettishly: "Little brother, please, go with me! I'm timid and scared to be alone. You don't want me to be in danger, right?"

Shadow Blade was in tears and looked at the innkeeper for help in a panic.

The innkeeper stood behind the counter, trying hard not to laugh, watching the show with an indifferent attitude.

"Little brother" Ye Ling continued to attack: "You have to be responsible for him, otherwise I will tell the prince."

"What am I responsible for?" Ying Ren was only twenty years old and had never been in contact with a woman. He was unable to resist at all: "Then... where are we going?"

"Since you agreed, let's go now. Boss, where is the mass grave?" Ye Ling asked quickly.

"Huh?" The boss was still watching the show and didn't react for a moment: "Mass Graveyard, leave the city and follow the official road on the left. There is a sign."

"Thank you, boss, little brother. Let's go and ride horses in the back." Ye Ling pulled Ying Ren away without saying anything.

Before leaving, Ying Ren gave the boss a look that meant: Tell His Highness that we went to the mass grave.

The boss also nodded in response.

A quarter of an hour later, the two men rode out of the city, galloping all the way, and stopped not far from the mass grave.

"Miss Ye, the horses can only go so far, we have to walk up," said Ying Ren.

Ye Ling looked up at the setting sun and said, "Let's leave quickly while it's still early. This place is full of evil spirits at night."

"There are no ghosts in this world," Shadow Blade said as he walked.

"That may not be the case!" Ye Ling glanced at Ying Ren and muttered to herself: This kid is actually quite good-looking. If he were in modern times, I could tolerate him, but not now. There are too many handsome guys. My offspring must be strictly screened for moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor qualities.

"Master" Meng Meng was speechless: "You are studying men behind their backs again."

Ye Ling disagreed: Shut up, this kid is actually a little more flexible than Jiuyou, silly and quite cute.

"Miss Ye, watch your step," Shadow Blade reminded.

"Thank you"

We soon arrived at the mass grave, which was filled with the stench of death. Bones and weathered skulls lay scattered everywhere, tombstones tilted, and dried paper money and stinking food and wine were scattered across the ground. The sound of the wind, the howling of wolves, and all sorts of strange noises intertwined to create a terrifying atmosphere.

Ye Ling was also seeing a real mass grave for the first time. Being there in person was completely different from watching a TV show. Even with her martial arts prowess, she was still terrified! She unconsciously grabbed Ying Ren's arm.

Ying Ren turned his head and took a look. He could see that Ye Ling was really scared, so he whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. What do you want to see?"

"There is a crooked tree on the left"

"Okay, come this way." Shadow Blade walked in front, not afraid at all, and kicked away the bones that blocked the way.

After walking about thirty steps, Ye Ling saw the crooked tree. There was indeed a clean grave mound under the tree, and there were traces of worship in front of the grave.

Shadow Blade kicked a half-eaten fruit and said, "Someone came to pay respects today. Miss Ye, do you know anyone here? Are they... General Ye's men? Why are there people paying respects in a mass grave?"

"No, but she is a woman with a miserable life."

"woman?"

"The truth is already clear. The government just doesn't want to investigate, not that it can't find out. Perhaps, there are too many officials involved, and they are protecting each other!" Ye Ling muttered to himself.

"What are you talking about? Why don't you want to investigate?" Ying Ren was confused.

"It's nothing, let's go back! Go back and make money, I'll help you make money," Ye Ling said.

"I still don't understand" Shadow Blade was even more confused.

"You will understand. Let's go quickly. It's getting dark and it's even scarier here." Ye Ling quickened his pace and left the mass grave quickly.

Meanwhile, Nangong Chen was enjoying himself in the Noble House. Xuan Lei listened to a guard's report, then entered the room and whispered in Nangong Chen's ear, "Miss Ye took Shadow Blade to the mass grave."

"Where are you going and what are you doing?"

"I don't know..."

"Sorry, I'm late!" Xue Jingchuan arrived late.

"It's not too late, sit down," Nangong Chen said with a dagger hidden in his smile.

Xue Jingchuan immediately noticed something was wrong: "What... do you know?"

"You brought Ye Ling here?"

"Yes! Bring her here to play."

"Xue Jingchuan, where is this place, you..." Nangong Chen was very angry.

"Your Highness, the reason you're angry is because you don't understand Ye Ling at all. She doesn't like those so-called female rules you set. She likes freedom and unrestrainedness."

"Benfang, you idiot! Why don't you just say it's to satisfy your own selfish desires?"

"If I had selfish desires, I would have accomplished them long ago. Could you please stop thinking of me as such a beast?"

“I don’t believe what you say”

"If you don't believe me, you want me to check this and that for you?"

"Is this what I'm talking about?"

"I don't want to talk to you." Xue Jingchuan drank by himself.

Nangong Chen was also sulking and drinking his own wine.

At this moment, Ye Ling had already returned to the city. Ying Ren felt that he could finally report back: "Miss Ye, can you go back and rest now? It's getting dark."

"I'll treat you to a meal." Ye Ling didn't give Ying Ren a chance to speak, and pulled him to the noodle stall where they had lunch in the afternoon: "Auntie, two bowls of oil-splashed noodles."

"Hey! The girl is here again" the old lady was very happy.

"Your noodles are delicious, so I brought my friends here to eat," said Ye Ling.

"Sit down first, the noodles will be ready soon"

Ying Ren had a headache: "Miss Ye, after we finish eating the noodles, can we go home?"

"Little brother, why do you always want to go back to sleep?" Ye Ling said loudly.

"Keep your voice down, I want you to go back and rest." Ying Ren wanted to cry but had no tears.

The stall owner laughed: "Young people are hot-tempered. Are you a newlywed couple?"

"Do not…"

"Uncle, you have good eyesight." Ye Ling interrupted Ying Ren's words. She just likes to play.

"Miss Ye, don't talk nonsense. Don't you care about your reputation?" Ying Ren lowered his voice.

“Who knows who here?”

"The noodles are here, enjoy your meal."

"Thank you, Auntie!"

The two of them finished their noodles quickly, and before Ye Ling could take out the money, Ying Ren got there first.

"It's my treat as agreed," Ye Ling said.

"I'm a man, how can I let you pay?"

Ye Ling smiled: "Little brother is indeed worthy of trust!"

"Please, let's go back." Shadow Blade had never been so tired.

"Why go back? The nightlife has just begun. Come on, let's go into the alley together and do something unspeakable and bad." Ye Ling still pulled Ying Ren, not giving him a chance to speak, and entered the alley behind him.

"Miss Ye..."

"Why are you so nervous? Are you really afraid that I might do something to you in this dark place?"

"without…"

"Shh..." Before Ying Ren could finish his words, Ye Ling blocked his mouth with his fingers: "Don't talk, the house behind you is notoriously haunted, there are evil spirits coming to take your life."

Ying Ren swallowed his saliva, his thoughts were not behind him at all, because Ye Ling was too close to him, almost leaning in his arms, which made his heart beat faster.

"Ying Ren, I don't dare to go in alone. Let's go to the roof and take a look. I want to see the evil spirit." Ye Ling spoke in a voice as soft as orchid in Ying Ren's ear.

"Okay," Ying Ren agreed for some unknown reason.

A moment later, the two landed on the roof and hid in a dark corner.

Shadow Blade whispered, "What are we doing?"

"Waiting for the ghost to come out"

"what?"

"Don't worry, I'll give you half of the official reward. Please work hard tonight. It's too boring for me to stay here alone."

"This is the home of the woman who killed her husband last year."

"How do you know?" Ye Ling was curious.

"His Highness asked me to investigate the case. I came here once this morning."

"So you just pretended not to know?"

“This is confidential.”

"Secret shit, they've even issued a bounty."

"Are you sure there's a ghost here? So the grave we visited today is that of the dead woman?"

"Aren't you stupid? Are you pretending?"

“I only thought of it when I got here.”

"Her name is Yuying," Ye Ling said.

"You found out all this? That's amazing. We didn't even know that all the case files on this woman were gone."

"Tsk~ none of the officials are good people"
