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

Cangyue Country——Nanlai Street

There were no stars on the night of May 11th, the weather was gloomy, and it looked like a heavy rain was coming.

An Kui sat at a tea stall on the street. There were only a few people on the street.

The tea stall owner poured tea and whispered, "What are you doing here again?"

An Kui picked up the tea bowl and said, "I need your help. You Ming Lang has a subordinate who is very good at Qing Gong. He has been watching the outside of the Noble Hall, and I can't do anything to him."

"You want me to lure that person away? Ye Ling, can you handle it?"

"Can't handle it"

"So what do you have to say?"

"If you don't help, no one will have an easy life," An Kui said as he stood up and left.

The tea stall owner stared at An Kui's back with displeasure: "Go inform everyone and prepare for a decisive battle. Ye Ling must be killed. A war is about to begin. Your Highness doesn't have much energy to focus on these trivial matters."

"Captain, the people from Falcon Prison were defeated! This matter has spread, it can't be fake, and we don't know who did it," the man next to him said.

"Sometimes you don't have to use force to kill someone. Let's capture the seriously injured Xue Jingchuan and see if Ye Ling will surrender. Then we can set a trap in advance and take down these two at once."

"Yes, I will prepare it right away."

"Have everyone dispose of any items that could prove their identity. They are not allowed to carry anything other than the clothes on their backs, and they are not allowed to use their own weapons. Even if they are defeated, they will not bring trouble to His Highness."

"Yes, I understand. So when do we start?"

"Tomorrow, during the day, the defenses of the Guiren Pavilion are lax, and everyone is asleep. Send two more brothers to stay there tonight. Tomorrow, I will be responsible for luring that troublesome guy away. You cooperate with An Kui to rescue Xue Jingchuan. Zhao Hongan's security in the city is too strict. We will get him out of the city, and then send Ye Ling to rescue him."

"That won't be easy either. Even if Xue Jingchuan is seriously injured, he's still not powerless. If he resists, Ye Ling will definitely find out, and all our efforts will be in vain."

"Don't worry," the tea stall owner took out a small packet of medicine from his arms: "Your Highness gave it to me. It can make people lose consciousness instantly."

"Yes, I will prepare it right away."

At dawn the next day, the Guiren Pavilion returned to its peaceful state, and Ye Ling finally entered her space and fell asleep. She had been crazy enough that night, and she was exhausted. Jiuyou and Xue Jingchuan also stayed awake all night, and were catching up on their sleep during the day.

At three quarters past noon, An Kui stood by a river, sword in his arms, "You're here?"

"Is this the note you gave me?" She Zhao came from behind.

"It must feel bad to be defeated by a woman, right?" An Kui said.

"What do you mean?" She Zhao was displeased.

"A chance for revenge"

“I don’t understand what you are talking about.”

"Don't you want Ye Ling to die? That way, the tenth place on the Langya List will still be yours, and the Illuminati will also be yours. Didn't Gu Feixiang promise you that if you were on the Langya List one day, he would pass the Illuminati to you?" An Kui was still looking at the water, without looking away.

"Who are you, Your Excellency?"

"The enemy of my enemy is my ally. She Zhao, you're not young anymore, are you? Yet you don't dare get married. Gu Feixiang has a son in his old age. If he waits a few more years, he'll be able to inherit the family business. By then, what will you, an adopted son, be?"

"You are looking for death" She Zhao hates people saying this the most.

An Kui turned and looked at She Zhao: "I know I am no match for you, and I am not here with hostility today. I want to kill Ye Ling, and I need the assistance of an expert. Are you willing to help?"

She Zhao sneered: "I'm sorry, I can't accompany you."

"Wait, I know you have concerns. You don't need to attack head-on. You just need to bring Xue Jingchuan out of the Noble House. We will lure away the masters outside the Noble House."

"Since you can lure away the masters, why don't you have the ability to bring someone out?"

"It's not difficult to bring someone out, but to do it quietly, you need the help of a master. Xue Jingchuan is not a loser. Although Ye Ling is drunk, she has a guard named Jiuyou by her side. He is not easy to deal with either."

"Killing Ye Ling is not as simple as a vendetta in the martial arts world. She was a princess personally appointed by the emperor. If she dies, the court will conduct a thorough investigation, and the Wulin Alliance will also investigate. Do you think I would be so stupid as to make myself a criminal?" She Zhao was unwilling.

"Hehe..." An Kui laughed: "The famous She Zhao is so timid. No wonder he is still just a young master for so many years and has nothing else. People like you will be like this in your life. It turns out that I misjudged you. Then I won't bother you anymore," An Kui said and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute," She Hai said, "I'm only responsible for helping you get the person out of the Guiren Pavilion. I won't get involved in anything else."

"That's enough. I will go with you in half an hour." An Kui was satisfied. Without She Zhao's help, he was not sure if he could get Xue Jingchuan out of the Guiren Pavilion.

The two men left the river one after another, and a man wearing a straw hat jumped down from the tree opposite.

"She Zhao's martial arts is too good. We dare not get close to him, and we don't know what they said." Another person walked out from behind the man. It was the White Wolf who had been appearing.

"It must be something shameful again. Brother Bai, what should we do? We have been keeping an eye on An Kui for so long, but there is nothing we can do," said the man in the straw hat.

"Who said he's useless? At least we know An Kui is not a good person. He was the one who took the initiative to find She Zhao just now. The two of them have never met before. If he rashly arranged to meet, he must have bad intentions."

"Brother Bai is right. I will continue to keep an eye on An Kui."

"Go ahead, be careful, don't follow too closely, or you'll be exposed," White Wolf warned.

"Yes, I'll go right away." The man bowed and left.

White Wolf looked up to the sky and sighed deeply. "I don't know what's going on all day long. My dear lord! The war has already begun, and you haven't given any instructions. What should I do?"

With a loud bang, the first thunderstorm of the year arrived. Raindrops as big as beans clattered onto the tables of street vendors, as if to smash all objects. The world was instantly flooded by rain, and pedestrians on the street quickened their pace to find a place to shelter from the rain.

Ye Ling was resting in the space. No matter how noisy it was outside, it would not disturb her. Meng Meng was also tired, so she snuggled up in Ye Ling's quilt and fell asleep.

Chan Juan tiptoed into Xue Jingchuan's room, put down the medicine bowl, and looked at the sleeping man. She was angry and loved at the same time. After a brief moment of anger, she asked, "Xue Jingchuan?"

Xue Jingchuan suddenly opened his eyes, and Chan Juan picked up the medicine bowl: "I know you just fell asleep not long ago, but you have to take the medicine on time, otherwise how will the wound heal?"

Xue Jingchuan smiled slightly: "It's raining heavily outside."

"It's raining so hard, why aren't you awake?" Chan Juan helped Xue Jingchuan up and handed him the medicine bowl. "Drink slowly. I'll close the back window, and the rain is coming in."

Xue Jingchuan took a sip of the medicine and said, "The medicine doesn't taste right today? Did you change the recipe?"

"No, Xue Jingchuan, do you think I drugged you? I haven't slept all night, and I have to make medicine for you in the morning..."

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, okay?" Xue Jingchuan drank the medicine quickly: "Look, one drop is not... not right..."

"what?"

"This medicine..." Xue Jingchuan immediately sealed the acupuncture points on his own, but it was too late and he began to feel confused.

"What are you doing..." Before Chan Juan could finish her words, a sword tip pierced through her back and into her chest.

When Xue Jingchuan was dying, he reached out to save Chan Juan, but he was powerless.

After the sword was drawn, Chan Juan spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

An Kui was a little unhappy: "Why did you kill people?"

"She will call for help," She Zhao put away the knife.

The two of them pulled Xue Jingchuan up and were about to leave. Chan Juan didn't know where she got the strength from, and hugged Xue Jingchuan's legs tightly: "Help...Help..."

Rumble... A few thunderclaps drowned out Chanjuan's weak voice. She watched in despair as the man she loved was taken away from the rear window. Gradually, her consciousness became blurred.

Time passed in the pouring rain until noon, when Jiuyou got up. He and Chanjuan had agreed that Chanjuan would make the medicine in the morning and he would make the medicine at noon. So the first thing he did after getting up was to go to the backyard to make the medicine. Looking at the unwashed medicine jars, he was a little puzzled. According to common sense, Chanjuan was cute and clean, and she would definitely wash the medicine after delivering it. However, Jiuyou was a straightforward person, so he didn't think much about it. He washed it himself and started to boil the medicine.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiuyou took shelter from the rain from the corridor, carrying a bowl of medicine, two steamed buns and a plate of food, went up to the second floor, walked step by step towards Xue Jingchuan's room, and pushed the door open with his foot.

The scene in the room shocked him. He dropped the things in his hands and looked at the bed first. When he found no one was there, he quickly pulled up Chanjuan who was lying in a pool of blood. But it was too late. She was already stiff.

Jiuyou immediately ran out of the door and shouted, "Someone, something's wrong." After shouting, he quickly pushed open Ye Ling's room and said, "Miss, can you... Mengmeng? Something's wrong, wake her up quickly."

Meng Meng sensed it instantly and flew up: "Master, the sky is falling, Jiuyou is shouting something is wrong."

Ye Ling also woke up instantly, pulled the clothes off the clothes rack, and hurried out of the space. While putting on the clothes, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Blood Prince is missing, Chan Juan...is dead"

Ye Ling paused for a moment while putting on her clothes, then quickened her pace, running to the next room in two steps. She saw that Hu Zi had already had Chan Juan lifted up and was ready to leave.

Ye Ling stopped her. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt very distressed. She wanted to cry but couldn't. Since the first time they met, her sister Chan Juan had been very nice to her.

"Girl, she's gone. I will give her a proper burial. Carry her to the backyard first." Youminglang also came over while putting on his clothes.

"No... ask the doctor to check her again." Ye Ling didn't want to believe it.

"Okay." Youminglang followed her wishes and waved his hand.

The servants carried Chanjuan away. Huzi said, "Master, the person was taken out through the back window, but I have asked all the guards in the backyard, and they have never seen anyone come in from the back, and the pigeon is gone."

"If they want to take Jingchuan away, they must take away the troublesome pigeons." Ye Ling was still rational.

"The thunder was so loud today that we didn't hear anything! If Jiuyou hadn't sent the medicine... Alas..." Hu Zi felt very guilty.

"Search, throw everyone out, even if we have to turn Nanlai City upside down, we must find Xue Jingchuan." Youminglang was also angry. Taking people away quietly in his territory was a great shame and humiliation, like a slap in his face.
