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

Cang Yue Country - Nanlai - Tianlai Ke

Ye Ling slept until the evening, and then she remembered to look at Chan Juan's treasure bag. She took it out from under the pillow, opened it while lying down, and found a note inside, asking her to meet at Guiren Pavilion in the evening.

"Master, if Miss Chanjuan wants to see you, can't she just tell you directly? Why make things so complicated?" Mengmeng asked.

"Because he made the appointment on behalf of someone else." Ye Ling flashed into space and picked up the note he had received the day before yesterday from the table. "See? The handwriting is exactly the same. It must have been done by the same person."

"Are you going? It's been twice."

"Chanjuan has helped me today. Let's talk about it in the evening! Let's go eat first. It's been a whole day. I'm starving." Ye Ling left the space, put on his clothes, and felt that the atmosphere was wrong as soon as he went out.

In the lobby on the first floor of the inn, Xue Jingchuan and Leng Yan sat at a square wooden table, looking at each other. The atmosphere was tense and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"Again?" Ye Ling was speechless. He walked down the stairs slowly, ignoring the two of them, and sat at another empty table: "Boss, I'm starving."

"Please sit down, the food will be here soon," the boss replied.

Leng Yan stood up and walked over to Ye Ling's table. "Cousin, I'm here to apologize. I was wrong last night. I also went to the county government office this morning. I'm sorry."

"Hehe..." Xue Jingchuan laughed and sat down. "Some words, once spoken, are useless to apologize for. They say harsh words hurt people. Mr. Leng, do you really distrust your cousin? Or do you always treat her as an ordinary woman?"

Leng Yan ignored Xue Jingchuan's words and continued to look at Ye Ling and said, "Ling'er, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I apologize to you. I won't force you to go back in the future. Can you forgive me?"

"Here it comes," the boss personally brought over a few dishes and two steamed buns. "Miss Ye, your dinner, Mr. Blood, have you eaten yet?"

"I've already eaten. If you don't care about me, go make some beef soup. Xiao Yeling likes it," said Xue Jingchuan.

"Okay!" The boss quickly left this powder keg.

Ye Ling remained silent, broke off half a steamed bun and started eating.

Leng Yan could only continue, "Ling'er, I know you must be heartbroken. I promise not to interfere with your life again. For the sake of grandpa, please forgive me this time, okay?"

"Play the emotional card," Xue Jingchuan smiled.

Leng Yan glared at Xue Jingchuan and continued, "Ling'er, you still have to pay for living here. Our Leng family also has a place in Nanlai. You can stay there anytime without paying any fees."

"I don't like to hear that. I brought Xiao Yeling to this inn to live. I take care of her food and drink expenses. She doesn't have to pay, boss, right?" Xue Jingchuan asked.

"Yes, all of Miss Ye's expenses are paid for by Blood Prince." The boss brought the beef soup and said, "Miss Ye, please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

"Thank you, boss. The food is delicious. I have no requirements. You can go ahead and do your work." Ye Ling finally said something.

"Okay," the boss quickly returned to the counter and continued to eat melons while keeping a safe distance.

Xue Jingchuan diligently picked up dishes for Ye Ling and even removed the bones from the meat and vegetables.

Leng Yan couldn't help but speak again: "Ling'er, can you say something?"

"Okay," Ye Ling said.

"What good?"

"Don't bother me again in the future. We will live our own lives. For grandpa's sake, you are still my second cousin, but it's just a title," Ye Ling said.

"Okay," Leng Yan swallowed his anger because he was afraid that if he offended Ye Ling, his father would beat him to death when he returned.

"You've slept all day, what are you going to do at night?" Xue Jing asked.

Go to the Guiren Pavilion

"Okay/Where are you going?" Xue Jingchuan and Leng Yan said at the same time.

"Guiren Hall, what's wrong?"

"Do you know where that is?" Leng Yan asked.

"It's not like I haven't been there before, so what's wrong? Is there any problem?" Ye Ling asked back.

"No problem, very good, I'll go with you. Since Ling'er has been there, take me to see it too." Leng Yan wanted to see what Ye Ling did every day.

"What does Jingchuan do at night?"

“Idle and nothing to do”

"Then let's go together," Ye Ling invited.

"Okay, no problem." Xue Jingchuan was very happy. Anyway, his mission was to follow Ye Ling closely and find Ye Tingzhan's surviving subordinates.

After Ye Ling finished dinner, it was almost dark. After a whole day of sleep, she felt refreshed and went upstairs to change into a black embroidered cross-collar dress.

Going downstairs, Xue Jingchuan asked, "Why are you wearing black?"

"Blood splattered on your body won't be visible, and if you get injured, no one else will be able to tell," Ye Ling said as he adjusted his wristband.

"There's something else going on! Is there going to be a bloody battle tonight? Should we tell the prince? Let him provide support at any time?"

"I just said it casually. Don't be nervous. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility. Let's go!" Ye Ling said boldly.

"You have to take the blame for that. After all, she is a female master who can be listed in the Langya List. I can only seek protection from her," Xue Jingchuan said rudely.

"Don't worry! I'll protect you."

Leng Yan was so angry that his stomach ached, but he was helpless: "Ling'er, you are listed on the Langya List, what if you encounter a master?"

"We'll talk about it when we encounter it. As the saying goes, victory and defeat are common in the military," Xue Jingchuan continued.

As they walked, Xue Jingchuan and Leng Yan hurt each other, and Ye Ling's ears ached from listening to them.

At the entrance of the Guiren Pavilion, Chan Juan seemed to know that Ye Ling had arrived and was waiting to greet her: "Sister, here you are, come in quickly."

"Can't you see me?" Xue Jingchuan protested.

"Is anyone else there? Why can't I see you? Sister, come with me. I've reserved the best private room for you. I'll pay for your meals tonight," said Chan Juan.

"How can this be so embarrassing? You helped me today, so I should be the one treating you."

"This is my territory, so naturally I'll treat you. Also, please take good care of my younger sister when she travels around Nanlai in the future!"

"If you have any problems in the future, just tell me. As long as I can help, I will do my best to help."

The two girls were talking happily as they walked.

The private room Chan Juan prepared was large, with several tables. Ye Ling was very satisfied: "We can watch dancing here."

"You still dare to look?" Xue Jingchuan grinned evilly.

"Rogue," said Zen Juan.

"No! You have too big a prejudice against me." Xue Jingchuan felt very innocent.

"Men are unreliable after all. Only friendship between women is reliable." Chan Juan was telling the truth. She was attracted by Ye Ling's martial arts and the noble people around her. As long as she became friends with Ye Ling, maybe he could really save her in the future.

"Jingchuan, second cousin, you can call me girl. Don't worry about me. We come here to have fun!" Ye Ling said.

"This is the first time that our Master Leng has opened a place like this. How about ordering two girls to accompany him?" Xue Jingchuan asked with a smile.

"Mr. Xue, your cousin is sitting here, how can you be so absurd?" he said coldly.

"Sir, are you here just to have fun? If you think it's ridiculous, you don't have to come in." Chan Juan said, looking at Ye Ling: "Sister, a young man came from the capital yesterday. I heard that he is the son of a noble family. He is handsome and obedient. Do you want to see him?"

"Okay! Let's take a look." Ye Ling was very interested and wanted to take a look at what the ancient Cowherd Zhang looked like.

"No, Ling'er..."

"Mr. Leng, have you forgotten what you said? If you don't want to watch, you can go back." Xue Jingchuan interrupted Leng Yan.

"Someone, go and bring up the young man who just arrived," Chan Juan said with a smile.

A moment later, a man in white came in, glanced at everyone timidly, and then knelt in the middle.

"How?" Chan Juan asked with a smile.

Ye Ling looked at the man from head to toe. He looked average, with an average build. After a long pause, she spoke, "Sister, average, right? How old is he?"

"Seventeen"

"Only seventeen? I don't like guys who are too young. Mature men are more attractive."

"Hmm~" Xue Jingchuan instantly perked up: "Xiao Yeling has a very good eye. A mature man will be caring."

"Mature men can also act like hooligans and be irresponsible," Chan Juan retorted.

"You two stop arguing." Ye Ling waved her hand. "Come and sit here. Pour me some wine. Sister, find two girls for my cousin and Jingchuan. Take me to the toilet!"

"Okay," Chan Juan arranged with a smile. She knew what Ye Ling meant, so she took her to the innermost room. "Sister, there's someone in there who wants to see you. It's not convenient for me to go in, so just wait here."

Ye Ling didn't say anything and pushed the door open. The room looked ordinary from the outside, but it was a different world inside. The furniture and furnishings were all high-quality, and there was a faint scent of powder in the air.

"The Night Lady is here," a soft voice came, and Youminglang walked out from behind the screen, still wearing a red robe with his chest exposed.

"You want to see me?" Ye Ling didn't like this man very much. First of all, his clothes were inappropriate. Secondly, a man who was so perfumed and wearing heavy makeup looked like a pervert no matter how he looked at him.

"Come here, sit down and chat." You Ming Lang slowly poured hot tea: "Night Lady gave me some face."

Ye Ling had inquired about You Ming Lang and knew that this person was not easy to deal with, so it was best not to provoke him. He walked over and sat down: "Sir, just tell me what you want to say! I've been away for too long, and my cousin and the others will notice. I don't think you want others to know that I have seen you, right?"

"How clever! I'll get straight to the point. Lu Xun isn't dead yet. Even if he were, Lu Xun's other two brothers and the one in the capital wouldn't let you live in peace."

"Do you have a grudge against the Lu family?"

"I am also a descendant of the nobility. More than 20 years ago, the Lu family framed my clan for their own fame and fortune, and my family was destroyed. So I also want to wipe out the entire Lu family. I'm sure you feel the same way, right?"

"Why should I trust you?"

"You don't have to believe me. King Beichen also wants to kill the Lu family, but he doesn't have the chance. So, you created a perfect opportunity for the prince."

“I’m not that capable.”

"You have. In return, I will give you a piece of news. The Crown Prince and Ye Tingxun have sent people to look for you because you took something very important from them. What it is, we don't know."

"Ah?" Ye Ling was confused.

"Perhaps you don't know this yourself. Lu Xun is imprisoned, and he's hell-bent on escaping. King Beichen has ordered that no one be allowed to see him, so he has no chance. Ye Ling, if you want to execute an entire family, you must have committed an unforgivable crime. I'm tired, Lady Ye, please do as you please!"

Ye Ling didn't say anything, stood up and walked out.

"Ye Ling" You Ming Lang spoke again: "You don't have much time left. The court will soon send people to escort Lu Xun back to the capital. After he returns, he may be acquitted. Your situation will not be good then. King Beichen cannot protect you forever. If you need help, you can always find Chan Juan."

Ye Ling didn't stop or answer, and just left.
