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

Cangyue Kingdom - Nanlai - Shunyang County

At night, Jin Rui shamelessly followed Xue Jingchuan back to Yueyun Inn, but he paid for the room himself. Ye Ling also slept in the space habitually, she felt safe.

At midnight, the bustling Shunyang County fell silent. A dark figure quietly entered a room on the first floor of the Yueyun Inn. "I am Bailang. I am sorry to have kept you waiting."

There was no light in the room. In the darkness, a man said, "It doesn't matter. I can't sleep anyway."

"I went to Juxiang Pavilion and saw those two idiots discussing something. They were discovered by a dog, and I killed them," said Bailang.

"Do you know who it is?"

"I don't know, but what is certain is that he is a rootless person in the palace."

"People in the palace, Nangong Hanyi, Nangong Xuan, Nangong Chen, they are all possible. It seems that this matter can't be delayed any longer. It must be completed first. I can feel at ease after getting the things in my hands," said the man.

"I have already mobilized manpower. For safety reasons, we cannot use the master's men. They will be too conspicuous," said White Wolf.

"Indeed, he can't be allowed to do this. After all, we are free, so we transferred you here."

"Master, you have foresight and know that a war is coming. You sent our people to Cang Yue in batches in advance, so you don't have to worry about having no one when you need them."

"White Wolf, is Ge Ba on this list?"

"Yes, the huge stone door under the tomb needs him."

"Keep this person, don't kill him yet, someone will take care of him."

"There have indeed been quite a few bounty hunters in the city recently."

"Then let's exchange his head for some money! If we bury it in the tomb, we won't be able to exchange it for anything."

"But..." White Wolf hesitated. "Isn't this too risky? Wouldn't it be safer to kill them all together? Why keep them alive?"

The man in the house spoke after a long while: "Don't worry, he will die as soon as he comes out, there will be no problem."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"You should go to bed early! I'm leaving." The man stood up and left through the back window.

Bai Lang then put down his sword and sat down beside the bed. This was the residence he opened today.

The next day, Ye Ling got up and changed into a dark purple men's suit with water ripples, and asked Meng Meng to put on makeup for her carefully.

A moment later, a handsome man appeared in front of the mirror: "Jiuyou, how is it?"

"The makeup Mengmeng put on doesn't look feminine at all, it's really hard to tell," Jiuyou commented seriously.

"That's good." Ye Ling put the sword on her back in a sword bag. She was afraid that if she took action, she would attract attention by taking objects from a distance.

"Miss, let me go out with you." Jiuyou was still afraid that something might happen.

"Don't worry, the master will let you out if anything happens to scare those bastards to death," said Mengmeng.

"That's right," Jiuyou agreed.

"Let's go." Ye Ling left the space and went out directly after opening the door.

When he went downstairs, he stunned the two men downstairs. Xue Jingchuan asked with a smile: "What is the name of this young man?"

"Shui Ling," Ye Ling said, and she separated the word "Ling" in her name.

"Young Master Shui, my name is Xue Jingchuan, and I'm honored."

"I am Jin Rui and I am honored to meet you."

Ye Ling looked at the two men speechlessly: "Boring, what do you think? Can't you tell?"

"Indeed, how do you manage to be both a man and a woman? Compared to the last time when you dressed up as a man, this time it's really indistinguishable from the real thing." Xue Jingchuan was curious.

"Hmph," Ye Ling said proudly, "I respect the audience's eyes. This is called effective female disguise as a man. Some TV dramas are really eye-catching."

"TV series?" Jin Rui was curious.

Xue Jingchuan didn't take it seriously. He took a few steps forward and came to Ye Ling. Then he looked her up and down: "That's not right! You grew taller overnight?"

"That's right. How about it? I'm much taller than this little brat, right? I'll soon catch up with you." Ye Ling would never admit that she wore insoles. After all, to pretend to be a man, she had to be tall.

"Do you think I believe it?"

"believe it or not"

"Dear guests, your horses are here!" someone shouted at the door of the store.

The three of them went out and mounted their horses, walking slowly through the city. Jin Rui looked at Ye Ling's back and said, "Sister... Oh, no, Brother Shui, is that the Yin-Yang Blade on your back?"

"Yeah! I had a feeling there would be a big battle today, so I sharpened my knife in advance, and then I hit it with every strike."

"Huh~" Xue Jingchuan paused: "Do you have a premonition? Have you forgotten what happened last time? No wonder you are wearing dark purple today."

"I'm just saying. Who told you to dress like a colorful peacock every day? You're a grown man, almost thirty years old, but you always dress in pink and tender clothes. Uncle, isn't it time for you to change your taste?" Ye Ling made a precise complaint and then continued to move forward.

"Uncle, I just like this type. Do you believe that I would still dare to wear it when I'm eighty years old?" Xue Jingchuan was dissatisfied.

"Eighty years old?" Jin Rui was surprised: "Uncle, aren't you afraid that people will call you an old monster?"

"What old monster? Let's wait until he survives," Ye Ling said with a smile.

"That's right, it only counts if you can survive," Jin Rui agreed.

"Can you two chat?" Xue Jingchuan felt a headache.

Ye Ling smirked: "Uncle, you are so unrestrained and indulgent. Tsk tsk tsk, your body is exhausted. You'd be lucky if you can live to fifty."

"Uncle, I think Brother Shui is right," Jin Rui said, trying not to laugh.

"What do you know, little brat?"

"I'm seventeen, not young anymore. My brother got married and started a family at sixteen, and even had a daughter at seventeen," Jin Rui retorted.

"Really? What about you?" Xue Jingchuan asked.

"My ambition is not to marry and have children, I want to travel the world and become a hero, I want to be on the Nirvana in Fire"

"Your family is already the richest on the Langya List, why are you still going up?" Ye Ling said.

"Brother Shui, I'm talking about relying on martial arts. Don't you want to go too? By the way, have you ever fought with Choi Seungcheol from Nirvana in Fire?" Jin Rui suddenly remembered this.

"Of course not," Xue Jingchuan answered quickly, "If Choi Seungcheol hadn't escaped quickly that night, and if he hadn't had the help of a cold arrow, your brother Shui would have taken his place long ago, and he wouldn't have to challenge people everywhere like he does now."

"Wow!" Jin Rui's face was filled with envy and admiration. "Brother Shui, how can a woman like you be so powerful? Your master must be even more powerful, right?"

"My master, I have knocked him to the beach. There is nothing I can do. I am gifted and unstoppable. I can basically learn everything by myself." Ye Ling said it with a clear conscience, and muttered in his heart: Master, you didn't let me tell others, so you can't blame me for talking nonsense!

Jin Ruixin believed it and said, "From ancient times to the present, there are many ordinary masters who can teach disciples who are famous for generations to come. There are many examples of this."

"Of course not. As for me, I want to be a person whose name will be passed down through the ages," said Ye Ling.

The three of them talked and laughed all the way, and arrived at Wenwan Villa before noon.

Looking at the strict guards, Ye Ling complained: "It's just a gathering place for a bunch of tomb robbers, why make it so complicated?"

"Wenwan Villa gets its name from the various antiques. On the surface, this is a place where wealthy businessmen play with their treasures, but in reality, it is a place where stolen goods are sold. Tomb robbers will take the objects they have dug up and sell them to these wealthy people," Xue Jingchuan explained.

"Let's go, Master Jin, I'm grateful to you for helping me today," Ye Ling said with a smile.

Several people tied their horses to the hitching posts in front of the door and walked towards the gate. Jin Rui took the lead and took out the jade pendant that symbolized his status.

The guard immediately smiled like a lackey: "So it's Young Master Jin who has come to visit. Please come in."

"They are my guards," said Jin Rui.

"Yes, yes, let's go in together." The guard didn't dare to say more. After all, the richest man in the world is not a joke.

Jin Rui was a distinguished guest and was arranged to rest alone. The servant explained, "Master Jin, today is the Treasure Fighting Competition, and my master may not have time to take care of you."

"It's okay, I just came to see if there are any rare treasures and buy a few to take back. You guys go and do your work, don't worry about me," said Jin Rui.

"Yes, I will prepare lunch for you and bring it here later. The treasure competition will start at 3:15 pm. The front yard is full of low-quality treasures, while the back yard is full of rare and precious treasures. You can go and see for yourself."

"okay, I get it"

Only after the servants had left did Ye Ling and Xue Jingchuan dare to sit down and drink some tea. After all, on the surface, they were Young Master Jin's bodyguards.

"Ye Ling, why did you think of coming to the Treasure Fighting Conference?" Xue Jingchuan asked the question that had been puzzled him all the way.

"Because... I was curious. When I was on the road, I heard people talking about it, so I thought of coming over to see if there was anything suitable for me?" Ye Ling didn't want to talk about what happened last night. She still didn't trust anyone.

"No," Xue Jingchuan smiled and shook his head. "I remember someone once said, 'Curiosity kills the cat!' You don't like to join in this kind of excitement. There must be a purpose."

Ye Ling also smiled: "Then you still don't understand me. I never stick to principles when doing things. I just follow my heart and do whatever comes to my mind. I never make plans. It's too troublesome and life is tiring."

"I can't argue with you." Xue Jingchuan didn't believe it, but he also knew that Ye Ling's ability to argue was unmatched, so he didn't want to say more.

At two quarters past noon, the three of them couldn't wait to go to the backyard, intending to watch the so-called treasure fighting competition.

The backyard was quiet, unlike the chaotic front yard. It was a circular structure with two floors, each containing numerous compartments where wealthy merchants came to buy. In the middle of the yard stood a stone platform, over two meters high, where treasures were placed one by one. The sellers would agree on a starting price in advance, and whoever wanted to buy would bid, and the highest bidder would win.

Relying on Jin Rui's status, the three of them sat in a compartment on the second floor. Ye Ling watched the treasure-fighting process and complained speechlessly: "Isn't this an illegal auction? And it's also a treasure-fighting conference. It's a scam. Master Jin, that's Qi Bingnan?"

Jin Rui glanced at the main seat on the second floor and said, "It's empty. Logically, he should be here to watch. Why didn't he come today?"

"The master suddenly feels unwell. He drank too much with some friends this morning," explained a servant.

"I see, that's why I didn't see the master." Ye Ling said as he stood up: "I'm going to the toilet, you two keep an eye on it first."

"Ye Ling" Xue Jingchuan said: "The sky is blocked out here, be careful."

"I'm just going to the toilet, am I afraid of falling into the pit?" Ye Ling was speechless.

"I'm going too," Jin Rui stood up, "It's too boring."

"Then I'll go too." Xue Jingchuan didn't want to look anymore. He wasn't here to buy anything.

Ye Ling rolled her eyes: "Speechless."
