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

Cang Yue Kingdom - Nanlai - Noble House

After settling Xue Jingchuan and Jiuyou to guard, Ye Ling and Youminglang came to the guest room and chatted while eating.

You Ming Lang spoke first: "Ye Ling, who do you think it could be?"

"I don't know, but one thing is certain, this person must be very rich. The appearance fee of Falcon Prison must be quite high, right?" Ye Ling asked.

"Of course. Without a certain amount of financial strength, you can't move to the Falcon Prison," Youminglang agreed.

"Are you trying to kill me so urgently?" Ye Ling had already started to make a list of opponents in his mind: Nangong Che, Ye Tingxun, Dao Zhaoxi Fan, in addition to these three, there is also Meng Shishi, who can barely be counted, but which one is it?

"Ye Ling, are you sure that person is coming for you?" You Minglang suddenly asked.

"if not?"

"Xue Jingchuan is also a celebrity. Until now, no one knows which faction he belongs to. And what about the young master of the Jin family? What if this group of people is coming for them? It is not impossible that you just happened to be caught in the crossfire," Youminglang explained.

"You're right. They didn't mention who they were going to kill by name, so I'm not sure."

"Also, at the moment, all I know is that Nangong Xuan and Ye Tingxun want to kill you, and that Meng Shishi also wants to kill you. But among these three, there are two that I can be sure have nothing to do with them. The first is Phoenix Mountain. The Meng family and the Falcon Prison have a generations-old feud, and it can be said that they have no dealings with each other. Also, Ye Tingxun's family funds were emptied by you, and he can't afford the expenses."

"So, if the people from Falcon Prison are coming for me, it could be Nangong Xuan?"

"Miss Ye, what are you doing back in Nanlai?" Pigeon asked from the side.

"Ah?" Ye Ling was a little confused.

"He is my right-hand man, his name is Pigeon," Youminglang introduced.

Ye Ling's thoughts had already flown away: "He is right, I came back for something important to do."

You Ming Lang looked at the pigeon: "Are you talking about She Zhao?"

"He's afraid of losing?" Ye Ling shook his head. "Impossible. People in the martial arts world value integrity the most."

"I was just talking casually," the pigeon smiled slightly.

After dinner, Ye Ling booked a room for himself, intending to have a good rest and prepare for the afternoon competition.

Xue Jingchuan was sleeping soundly. Jiuyou came to Ye Ling's room with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Ye Ling had a headache. He waved his hand and the two of them entered the space. Ye Ling sat on the sofa and said, "Go ahead!"

"Your subordinate... Your subordinate doesn't know whether I should ask or not." Jiuyou hesitated when speaking for the first time.

"I know what you want to ask. Go to my room, the drawer on the left side of the desk. Open it and there's a letter from Grandpa. Take it out and read it, and you'll understand."

"Yes." Jiuyou found the letter accurately, opened it as he walked out, and after reading it carefully, he was a little surprised: "Is Youminglang a descendant of the Ni family?"

"Yes, ever since Youminglang approached me for the first time, I asked my eldest cousin to take a letter to my grandfather, asking him to help me check this person. Then my grandfather sent me the letter right away, telling me that if I settle down in Nanlai in the future, I can ask Youminglang for help."

Jiuyou was still reading the letter: "The Ni family was framed by the Lu family and the Crown Prince, resulting in the annihilation of all three clans. It was Grand Tutor Leng and Ye Shuai who secretly rescued the eight-year-old Ni Xirong, who is now Youming Lang!"

"Youminglang himself knew about this, so he approached me. There's another thing I learned from Mucha. Back then, all the people the Ni family sent to the bitter cold land died on the way. They were killed by the people in the Falcon Prison."

"Have you known about the existence of Falcon Prison for a long time?"

"Longbow Chasing Wings, Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, I knew it when Xue Jingchuan blurted it out yesterday. Today he's just pretending. People shouldn't show off how smart they are. It's better to be stupid."

"So you put the living thing in the tub as soon as you came in?"

"That's right! Falcon Prison also has a grudge against Youming Lang, and he will interrogate him very seriously. Based on the above, isn't the Guiren Pavilion more reliable?"

"Yes, no matter what, Youminglang owes Ye Shuai and Leng Taishi a life-saving favor. At least he will not be hostile to you, and that is enough." Jiuyou was finally relieved.

"This is why I always choose this place for important matters. I asked him his real name, and he answered it very straightforwardly, without hiding anything. He's not afraid that I'll sell him out, so at least I don't have to worry about him selling me out, right?"

"Yes, if the emperor knew that someone from the Ni family was still alive, he would definitely not let them go."

"Okay, now that you know, go out and look after Xue Jingchuan. I'll change my clothes and go to the Langya Pavilion branch." Ye Ling said as he sent Jiuyou out.

Meanwhile, Youminglang arrived at the dark and damp dungeon of the Guiren Pavilion. The smell was a bit unpleasant. He elegantly blocked his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, looked at the already bloody killer, and said softly, "The Falcon Prison has a great reputation. I heard that every one of them is a tough guy. I wonder if it's true?"

The killer stared at Youminglang with bloodshot eyes: "Kill me if you dare."

"Haha..." Youminglang laughed heartily: "Killing you would be pointless. You're just a dog, you don't know anything else. So, I'm only going to ask a simple question. Listen carefully, I'm only going to ask you once. Is your target this time a man or a woman?"

"Hmph!" The killer snorted coldly, as if he would never tell the truth even if he was beaten to death.

You Ming Lang looked at him and smiled with satisfaction: "Your expression tells me that you know, that's great, Old Bear, this time it depends on you. Before the little girl comes back, he must speak. I have to give a gift to him since he is on the Langya List."

"Master, rest assured, I will not let you down."

Youminglang left the dungeon with satisfaction. Pigeon was waiting at the door: "Master, Miss Ye has left."

"She is growing much faster than me. Prepare a banquet tonight to celebrate the birth of the first female master of Langya List since ancient times," Youminglang said as he walked.

“You haven’t been this happy in a long time.”

"For so many years, I never dared to reveal myself in front of outsiders, let alone interact with others, for fear that I would say too much and hurt someone alive. Ye Ling is the only friend who allows me to not hide. I'm really happy that she can come to me for shelter. It means that she also regards me as a friend and knows that I won't harm her, right?"

"You're right. I've already sent all the detectives to investigate the purpose of this Falcon Prison operation. I've also added sentries around the Noble House to ensure there's no room for error."

"You can check the Jin family, maybe they are targeting their young master."

"I know"

As they spoke, a man in black flew down not far from them and knelt on one knee: "Master."

The pigeon came forward, and the man in black whispered something in the pigeon's ear, then flew away.

The pigeon then reported: "Master, the man who pretended to be a beggar and later met Miss Ye here has been around the Noble House in recent days and just secretly followed Miss Ye away."

"Don't worry about this. Ye Ling has her own opinions and plans. You just need to make sure no one causes trouble in Guiren Pavilion. Leave the rest of the matters and people to Ye Ling to handle. In the big pot of the world of martial arts, only the food cooked by her herself will suit her taste," said Youminglang.

"Yes, I understand."

"She said she wanted to find time to compete with you in martial arts."

"I am happy to accept the challenge from Lady Night. I can't say for sure about my martial arts skills, but I think we can compete in lightness skills," said the pigeon with a smile.

“Just don’t lose too shamefully.”

"I will do my best"

Just after noon, Ye Ling, dressed in red and carrying two swords, arrived at the Langya Pavilion branch alone. Rui Bao took her to see Mu Xia.

"Uncle Mu" Ye Ling bowed.

"Now that you're here, sit down and talk. Yesterday, the city gate said they didn't see you, and my uncle was worried that something had happened. It's good that you're here. She Zhao has been here for three days. He came well prepared this time and is sure of victory. Girl, how confident are you?" Mu Xia asked.

Ye Ling smiled slightly: "I won't let him lose too badly."

Mu Xia laughed: "This asking-for-a-beating tone really sounds like your master!"

"It's the same lineage!"

"You...why are you injured again?" Mu Xia smelled blood.

Ye Ling sighed helplessly and recounted what happened yesterday. Rui Bao was the first to disbelieve him: "You're just bragging! The people in Falcon Prison are all powerful and have never been defeated. I don't believe you could have broken through their formation by yourself and killed them all."

"The people from Falcon Prison must be doing this for money." Mu Xia's expression was obviously worried.

"Uncle Mu, rest assured. I will handle my own affairs. However, Langya Pavilion is well-informed. Could you help me check and see if there is any news?"

"Okay, just focus on the competition, and I'll check for you."

"Thank you, uncle." Ye Ling wanted to take multiple approaches at once. She had to confirm who was going to be killed this time so that she could focus on other things.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the deafening drums sounded. Today, more people from the martial arts world came than last time, and everyone wanted to see who would be the tenth on the Langya List.

She Zhao sat on the left side of the ring, sword in his arms, silent. A middle-aged man beside him whispered, "Master Gan, today's competition is very important. I heard that Ye Ling is very difficult to deal with. She and Choi Seungcheol even fought to a draw."

"Isn't that just hearsay? I don't believe that a teenage girl can be that capable. Today I'm going to let her see what real martial arts are and let her go back to embroidering as soon as possible." She Zhao was very disdainful and didn't take Ye Ling seriously at all.

"Master Gan, the master told you before he left that you must not underestimate the enemy. If you lose this time, how will you walk in the Illuminati in the future?"

"Shut up! You're saying this young master will lose before we even start fighting? Wasn't Mo Yufeng very formidable? Now he's become a coward. In such a vast martial arts world, if a woman were to be on the Langya List, it would be a complete disgrace. Are all the men dead? Why would a woman be embarrassed by showing up?"

"Master Gan is right," the middle-aged man didn't want to say more.

She Zhao was ready to win, and he was also thinking about how to humiliate Ye Ling. There was only one reason for this, and that was that he was in love with Meng Shishi. When he heard that Ye Ling bullied his white moonlight, he wanted to take revenge, which was why he came to fight so quickly.
