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

In theory, the time for recuperation is very boring, but Fan Ning couldn't sit still, so he started to tinker with the spiritual power flowing in his body.

The system, which had finally returned, was also happy for her: [Host, you can practice now. We are one step closer to our goal!]

Fan Ning took a bite of the lotus pastry that was brought to her lips. A trace of spiritual energy emerged from her fingertips like a weak flame, flashing and disappearing.

Ling You reminded: "You should take a break first... your progress is already fast enough, and you will reach the Nascent Soul stage soon."

"If I go through another thunder tribulation, I'll really lose a layer of skin."

Fan Ning glanced at him, withdrew the spiritual power in his hand, and chewed with an expressionless face.

After eating, he casually commented: "This lotus pastry...is not as delicious as I thought."

"..."

Ling You laughed, looked into her calm eyes, and said helplessly: "You can't think it's boring just because the Third Elder turned a blind eye and sent us lotus flowers..."

"You don't want to eat lotus cakes at all, do you?"

"Yeah," Fan Ning admitted confidently, "It's a little less contentious."

"..."

"What does strife smell like?" asked a senior sister who happened to be visiting the patient.

She was still holding half-prepared materials in her hands, as if she had interrupted the process of refining the weapon, and there was a little dust on her pretty face.

Ling You changed the subject: "Nothing... Why did you come here in such a hurry? Did something happen?"

The senior sister shook her head, organizing her words, and pointed to the foot of the mountain. "Isn't today the day that Miss Qin is coming over? This is perfect. I even saw two familiar faces there..."

"Could it be my master?" Fan Ning raised an eyebrow. Seeing her senior sister's excited expression, she speculated again, "As for the other one...could it be the leader of the Qingyun Sect?"

The senior sister nodded, and her high interest dropped a lot.

Ling You was a little surprised, and then he thought of what the Qingyun Sect leader had done, and frowned: "What is he doing here again? And he bumped into Elder Qian Jiangyue?"

"Didn't I tell you about the 'follow-up questions' my master left behind?"

Fan Ning smiled and added, "Those letters that have been sitting there unopened are from the Qingyun Sect's leader. It's just a coincidence that they were almost affected by the thunderbolt, so Senior Sister Jiang took them out and sorted them out."

"Master did tell me to take care of those," Fan Ning pinched his chin, pretending to be thoughtful. "I didn't expect the Qingyun Sect's leader coveted so many things - so I better find an auspicious day to burn them all!"

Ling You: "Are you really not seeking revenge?"

"So what? I've been bullied like this, and Master still doesn't stand by me?"

"..."

Ling You had nothing to say. He brought a cup of hot tea to his senior sister. Just as he was about to ask some details, he heard voices coming from behind him.

"Jiang Yue..."

"Meng Yiheng, it's better if you don't call me that."

Qian Jiangyue never even glanced at the people around him, and there was even a hint of annoyance between his brows.

It was as if the person standing next to him was not the leader of Qingyun Sect, but just a cultivator whom he did not like.

"You bully my apprentice while I'm away, and even try to steal the younger generation's things. You're really going backwards as you grow older."

She walked around behind Fan Ning and casually took a piece of lotus pastry from Ling You's sight.

The senior sister greeted carefully and then gave way.

"It tastes good. It seems that the lotus plant is quite suitable."

Qian Jiangyue made this comment, and before the Qingyun Sect's leader, who was following behind him, could say anything, he interrupted her.

"He's here to ask you for the sacred tree again. If you don't want to give it to him, forget it. The head brother is not so useless that he can't even protect his own sister's apprentice."

Fan Ning smiled and continued, "Why is it the Sect Master's business? What should Master do then?"

Qian Jiangyue swallowed the last bit of cake and took the hot tea offered by Ling You. Her expression was very calm: "Every profession has its own specializations. Your master, who is at the Spiritual Severing Stage, how could he defeat the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect?"

The sect leader who was named felt somewhat helpless, and his aura visibly weakened.

"You know I won't attack you easily," he sighed, no longer looking as aggressive as before. "You've also seen Luo Xue. Her talent... really shouldn't be buried like this."

Luo Xue... ?

Fan Ning became more alert when he heard the name.

She turned her head to look at the person next to her who knew the truth, and then she was surprised to find that the moment she heard the name, Qian Jiangyue's eyes dimmed for a moment.

It was as if she was shrouded in a dark cloud. The emotion came on quickly and violently, and when she raised her eyes again, she had returned to her usual casual and frivolous self.

"Luo Xue? Are you still thinking about her?" Qian Jiangyue pressed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table. The senior sister standing next to him swallowed hard. She had no doubt that if they were not here, Elder Qian would have thrown the cup in someone's face.

"Jiang Yue, now is not the time to lose your temper," the leader of Qingyun Sect obviously noticed this, and his face froze for a moment, but soon he looked back at Fan Ning who had been motionless.

"I need that sacred tree. The conditions...as long as I can do it, you can set it."

Those eyes that never treated them equally were particularly sincere. If Fan Ning had not seen this man's other face before, he would have really thought he was a good man.

Isn’t it just that you can’t help but see that another sacred tree has been lost?

What did you do earlier?

"I don't want it. Why don't you go ask my Senior Sister Jiang?" Fan Ning kindly pointed to the foot of the mountain and said, "Senior Sister Jiang should be seeing patients down there right now. Sigh, she's just kind..."

"She only listens to you," the leader of Qingyun Sect said with great frustration.

Fan Ning was surprised for a moment, then spread her hands sleekly, "Then I don't want it either."

"Since she won't give it to me, then I won't give it to her either."

"Fan Ning!"

"Master!"

After being yelled at, Fan Ning immediately grabbed Qian Jiangyue's drooping sleeve and said pitifully, "He threatened me right in front of you. If you weren't here, he would have skinned me alive."

Qian Jiangyue suppressed her laughter and patted Fan Ning's shoulder: "It's okay, it's okay. Isn't it that we still have the headmaster brother here? If it really doesn't work, you can tie up the guy sitting over there. He will definitely get some help with the sword."

Ling You, who was accused innocently: "..."

"Remember to change your expression when you're pretending," he said softly, looking at Fan Ning's face that was full of malicious intent, curling his lips. "...You don't need to tie me up."

"Wait, you guys..." Qian Jiangyue sensed something was wrong as soon as she saw his expression. She went around to his back and clapped him three times. "I didn't expect... you have bad intentions too?"
