Bound to Mary Sue, I am against involution in the world of immortal cultivation

Qian Jiangyue's expression remained unchanged: "I have always cherished my disciples. Even if my dear disciple did something wrong, I would turn a blind eye, okay?"

Fan Ning looked at her and raised an eyebrow: "If you want to take me as your apprentice, you can't do it like this."

"Besides, such a threat is simply..."

Ling You: "Really?"

"It's absolutely useless."

Fan Ning propped up his chin and said seriously, "Perhaps if Elder Qian Jiangyue told me everything, I would feel more at ease."

Anyway, she didn't tell any lies. Even if she was exposed, it was just that those people were over-imagining things.

As for the group of monks gathered together...that had even less to do with her.

"I won't get involved in your young people's petty conflicts," Qian Jiangyue smiled. Noticing Ling You's ever-vigilant gaze, she waved her hand innocently. "Elders who meddle in other people's affairs will be disliked."

"Small conflict"?

Fan Ning did not comment on this.

She cast her gaze upwards, noticing the few people looking in from a distance. She propped her cheek with her hand and smiled meaningfully, "But they seem to have high hopes for the elders... and they're even looking at me? This is really frustrating."

Ling You guessed, "Maybe they heard from those monsters that you 'detoxified' me yesterday?"

"Is that right?"

Fan Ning casually sat down on the stone, a look of surprise on his face: "Do I look like a gentleman who repays evil with kindness?"

"How dare they have the illusion that I will help them if they have any problems?"

Ling You: “…”

Ling You looked at Qian Jiangyue, who was smiling with her arms crossed and showing no sign of participation, and choked up a little.

"Maybe they are still at an age suitable for fantasy."

the other side.

Seeing that Qian Jiangyue had not brought any good news, the cultivators who were already worried about him could no longer sit still.

They exchanged glances, and finally, in tacit agreement, they nudged the silent Yu Changqing, demanding without any reason, "Isn't Senior Brother Yu familiar with them? This is a matter of life and death."

Yu Changqing looked up at the urging crowd, frowned for a moment, and then gave a pertinent reminder: "...You just drove them away with your own hands. What's more, Elder Qian Jiangyue is here too. She might be able to find a way."

"We're all cultivators, and we might even join the same sect in the future. How can they be so stingy?" The leading man who had spoken initially looked uneasy. He glanced at the three people who seemed to be chatting happily, and felt even more unhappy. "Human lives are at stake, are they still only thinking about themselves?"

"Yes, yes, this is not a trivial matter. We have received their favor and we will definitely thank them in the future."

"I just said a few unpleasant words, but you're willing to help the monster. How can you be stingy with your own people?"

"That Fan Ning is quite evil, but now Elder Qian Jiangyue has personally stepped in. If she refuses again, she will be ungrateful!"

There was a constant shouting and arguing in my ears.

Yu Changqing, who already felt guilty about yesterday, simply closed his eyes and leaned against the wall. No matter who mentioned him, he remained motionless like a piece of wood.

Until another person fell down.

The raised dust hits everyone's heart.

The people who were still arguing fell silent in an instant, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes.

"Enough! Now that we've proven that Fan Ning is not wrong at all, what are we arguing about?" The woman who had been hiding in the corner silently suddenly spoke up. Her eyes gradually turned red under her sharp voice. "Wrong is wrong. If you don't go, I will!"

"I'm going to apologize to her. I want to live!"

The corners of her eyes drooped, and after she finished speaking, she ran towards Fan Ning without even looking at anyone else.

The few people who were also hiding in the corner silently saw someone take the first step and followed hesitantly.

"I never said anything bad about her."

"I'm just being silent."

"I had no involvement in driving her away..."

The threat of death made them let go of their fear of being separated from the group, and they ran faster and faster, fearing that if they were a step slower they would be beaten into the group behind them.

"Here they come," Ling You, who raised his head first, blocked the first person who ran over. Recalling the scene of "working together" last night, his eyes darkened.

"What are you doing here? I don't think we have anything else to talk about."

The woman was frightened and pushed away, her eyes suddenly widening.

"You can detoxify, right?" She turned her eyes and looked eagerly at Fan Ning, who was hidden behind Ling You in a protective manner. She hurriedly defended herself, "I didn't say a bad word about you, nor did I chase you away..."

"You just don't want to be a loner, right?" Fan Ning glanced at her.

Then his expression turned cold, as if he had heard something funny, and he pointed the dagger in his hand towards her.

"Isn't not choosing a choice?" Fan Ning said lightly.

"But..." The visitor sniffed, tears streaming down his face. "We are all monks, aren't we? In this place, shouldn't we stick together for warmth?"

After saying that, she looked at Qian Jiangyue eagerly, trying to find strong evidence to support her statement.

Qian Jiangyue did speak, but his eyes did not fall on her.

"That sounds reasonable... What do you think, Mr. Fanning?"

Fan Ning smiled: "Really? Since you said so——"

"Then you can just lie down neatly together."

"Don't you like to huddle together for warmth?" Fan Ning smiled lightly and pointed to the burnt embers beside him, his eyes cast down with a calm expression, "Remember to burn it vigorously so that there will be a handful of ashes left at the end."

"I hope we have reached an agreement," Ling You stepped hard and broke a small piece of exposed branch.

Looking at Fan Ning who was not moved at all, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"It won't look good if the situation continues."

"Elder..." The woman collapsed on the ground in despair. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but the inexplicable oppression in her heart became stronger and stronger.

Seeing that the talks broke down, the monk who was running behind also turned pale.

"Everyone, how about listening to me?" Qian Jiangyue, who couldn't bear to watch any longer, stood up.

Without dragging the fight into a quarrel or exposing Fan Ning's lies, Qian Jiangyue rubbed his eyes, turned around, and smiled at the people who placed their hopes on him.

"Since Miss Fan Ning has been wronged, why don't you find a way to calm her down? Apologize if you need to, give money if you have money, and borrow money if you don't... You can't just think about getting something for nothing, right?"

Seeing Fan Ning's mouth curl up slightly, Ling You also echoed: "Those monsters know that they need to be rewarded."

"Have monks completely lost their skin?"

The faces of the few people whose thoughts were pointed out turned red.

"Give it to me! I'll give all the spirit stones I have to Fellow Daoist Fan Ning..."

"And me, me too!"

"This is mine. I apologize to my fellow Taoist..."

"..."

Fan Ning raised his head, his slightly cold gaze sweeping over the few people. When they couldn't bear the gaze anymore and lowered their heads completely, he replied leisurely, "Wouldn't it have been better if you did this earlier?"

"Thank you, thank you fellow Taoist..." The leading woman wiped the cold sweat from her face and wanted to say something, but she fell headfirst to the ground.
