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

"That's a poor child..." Qian Jiangyue sighed. She vaguely sensed something, but had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. She just patted Fan Ning's shoulder and said softly, "If you want to know those things, I probably can't help you."

"No," Fan Ning said coldly, "I'm not interested in those."

Qian Jiangyue smiled, hinting, "So... you released the sacred tree and saved Miss Jiang just out of interest?"

"You met her?" Fan Ning raised her eyebrows. She was not surprised that Qian Jiangyue suddenly mentioned this name. After all, Jiang Yunsheng's affairs were very complicated, and it was not surprising that her master knew something about it.

but--

"Interest? Maybe," Fan Ning lowered his eyes, twitching the corners of his mouth. "They reached out to me for help, and I just happened to have a little extra kindness."

Ling You was a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a moment, he was not surprised.

His expression was a little complicated: "I thought you wouldn't say it."

"What's there to be ashamed of?" Fan Ning raised his hand, letting the wind whistle through his fingertips. His voice was a little distant. "Reaching out to someone you like is just the most insignificant bit of my ability."

"...If I don't do this, wouldn't it be completely contrary to her teachings?"

These things sound easy and are easy to do...but the great principles she once learned just passed by her ears and never really disciplined her.

But what if someone stood in front of her?

"Well, perhaps it would be better to say 'a little experience from the seniors' rather than teaching."

Ling You: "You can also be so well-behaved sometimes? That girl is..."

"It's my mother!" Fan Ning clasped his hands together, a genuine smile on his face. "She's probably slaying demons and evil spirits in that corner right now."

"She might like your personality very much."

Ling You's eyes became busy, and the tips of his ears completely exposed his owner's thoughts, and turned red.

The system that just heard the entire sentence was also in a bad mood.

【! ! ! 】

[Host! Didn't you say your mother has... passed away?!]

How could he appear alive again?

"Did I say that?" Fan Ning was surprised. "I just said we parted ways, right?"

[She is a good leader of the righteous path. Wouldn't it be bad if she had the daughter of a high-ranking demon lord?]

The system felt this explanation was a bit forced, but it couldn't produce any evidence that Fan Ning had deceived Tong Sheng. [Is that the case? ... Then life really is a matter of necessity. I didn't expect your concern to be so thoughtful...]

Fan Ning smiled but said nothing.

Considerate? If that’s what the system thinks, then so be it.

after all--

Being considerate to other people in the world of immortal cultivation can also be considered considerate.

"Little Ningning's mother, that must be very interesting too," Qian Jiangyue suddenly added, pulling out a few prepared medicine bottles from her waist and placing them on the table. The sound of them being blown by the wind was very frivolous. "If there is a chance, I really want to meet her, but that will be a matter for later."

"I heard that my disciple has done something truly remarkable in the world of immortal cultivation. He's very much like my master back then... So, I've come to reward you."

Qian Jiangyue smiled and threw out a large piece of stuff from her Qiankun bag, covering the table.

"This hot sauce... well, no."

"This night pearl is good, but it's not."

"And this album..." Qian Jiangyue raised her eyebrows, glanced at Ling You who was squinting his eyes and observing beside her, and with a "bang" she turned the album upside down on the table.

"I'll give this to you separately next time," she decided happily.

Fan Ning chuckled, looked at Ling You's increasingly serious expression beside him, and responded.

Ling You: "This kind of thing..."

"Of course, something like this needs to be savored carefully," Fan Ning continued, "After all, Master collected it with great care, so it's rare to see it."

Ling You: “…”

Ling You was not very happy, but his stubbornness did not allow him to say the sour words directly, so he could only hum sullenly.

A fallen leaf fell from his forehead, making his expression look even bleaker.

"You really don't want it? This is something that Master carefully prepared for me."

Fan Ning teased him again and deliberately added, "I can share it with you."

Ling You: “…”

Ling You's brows looked even more depressed.

He slowly clenched his hands in his sleeves, and faced the two pairs of eyes looking at him at the same time, and his voice dropped several degrees.

"……what ever."

He said he didn't mind, but the words came out through his clenched teeth.

Qian Jiangyue finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

She smiled and turned the things in her hand over. Under the various ambiguous pictures was a notebook with the details of Yongzhou cuisine.

"It's a feature, and so is the scroll."

Ling You was silent, and looked at Fan Ning beside him with a smile on his face, as if he had completely understood something.

"Did you know this?" he complained.

Fan Ning, however, took the initiative and pinched the soft flesh on both sides of his cheeks, explaining, "It's not like I knew it long ago, is it? I've just seen something similar before."

It is very Qian Jiangyue’s style, combining beauty and delicious food.

Ling You: “…”

He now believes that physics divides people into groups.

These two people...are just too bad to be together!

"Let's talk about what happened before," Ling You tried to change the subject. "The reward Elder Qian mentioned is..."

"That's it," Qian Jiangyue said, shaking the notebook in her hand. "There's a grand flower fair going on in Yongzhou City recently. Maybe I'll meet some interesting people there."

"It just so happens that my old friend recently came out of quarantine—"

Fan Ning, who was well versed in this, went straight to the point: "So we can meet her?"

Qian Jiangyue choked for a moment, then smiled with a particularly regretful tone: "Okay, no."

"But you will meet her disciple. Um...it just so happens that we made a bet when we were young."

"If you win, I can get that thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum growing on the edge of the abyss," Qian Jiangyue blinked. "It's very beneficial for warming and nourishing the spiritual veins. Besides, Yongzhou City is where I found your senior sister... although she may not want to go back."

"Okay, I'll go."

Fan Ning hooked Ling You's hand. Ling You, who thought she would step back a little, was stunned for a moment, but quickly adjusted his expression.

"Then let's go," Ling You said, "It feels like things haven't been peaceful lately, so it would be nice to get out of their sight."

"That's great. It just so happens that the time is almost here. If we want to return with a full load under the noses of other sects, we will need some preparations."

Ling You suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you talking about the competition between sects?"

Qian Jiangyue's eyes were full of smiles, and she stretched out her tone and said, "Yes, I am really looking forward to it this time."
