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

The support arrived faster than expected.

Perhaps it was because Fan Ning exaggerated the severity of the situation, as soon as the next day dawned, the first group of disciples rushed in.

"From the Zhaoyan Sect?" The knowledgeable Jiang Biehe recognized the person at first sight.

The leading senior sister nodded implicitly, and when she looked at Jiang Biehe again, her eyes lit up.

"Senior Jiang..." The eldest sister softened her tone and smiled gently, "I didn't expect to meet you here."

"If I had known you were coming to Yongzhou City, I would not have come now, Senior Jiang..."

The junior fellow student next to him couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted, "But Senior Sister, you just said you wanted to go into seclusion."

The younger sister on the other side nodded, deliberately pulled a face, and repeated in a serious tone, "'Whoever dares to disturb my retreat, I will send him to heaven with a talisman!' You clearly said that before."

Why are there two faces now?

The eldest sister's face was visibly stiff.

She glared at her fellow junior brothers and sisters who didn't seem to notice her expression at all, and tried to gloss over the matter.

"That's because... an accident!" She managed to come up with an excuse, "The order from the South China Sea is urgent..."

"But, Senior Sister, you clearly don't tolerate them at all," the younger brother wrinkled his nose and once again shouted in a lively voice, "If you're really that desperate, go find someone else! Our Zhaoyan Sect doesn't rely on this one order to survive!"

"That's because those guys wanted to stuff the spirit stones into the order the day before yesterday... That's not the point." The eldest sister's eyelids twitched, and she knocked hard on the head of the junior brother next to her, gritting her teeth and warning: "Don't talk anymore!"

Junior Sister: "But Senior Sister..."

"You are not allowed to do that either!" The eldest sister grinned secretly and was about to turn around to continue the previous greetings, but when she raised her eyes, she met three pairs of curious eyes.

Jiang Biehe had walked to the opposite side of her without knowing when, and greeted her with a faint smile in her eyes with trembling pupils.

"Daoist Fu Yao, long time no see."

After hearing these words, Fu Yao's mouth corners unconsciously rose.

"No need to be so distant. Senior Jiang is my savior... Just call me A-Yao."

The fellow student next to him couldn't help laughing, and just as he opened his mouth, another hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and covered his mouth tightly.

"This is a critical moment for Senior Sister. If you laugh, you're dead!"

Everyone present who heard the threat clearly said: ...

Fu Yao: “…”

It's over, it's over.

The planned appearance, the plan to establish a relationship with the powerful and gentle Senior Jiang by being a hero and saving the beauty...it's all over!

"Senior Jiang..."

"Ayao," Jiang Biehe was amused, "don't dwell on what happened before. You've already repaid me for saving your life."

"Remember this, Senior Jiang," Fu Yao said, her face flushed. She thought that since she had already made such a big fool of herself, it would be a big loss if she didn't say what she had been holding back. "Senior Jiang, I think..."

"Ayao, you don't have to be so nervous." Jiang Biehe noticed Fan Ning's smile from the corner of his eye. He didn't pretend to be confused and said directly, "Even if there were no other entanglements, I am very happy to see you here again."

"Senior Sister Jiang has become talkative..." Ling You smacked his lips, seeming a little surprised, "I thought she wouldn't say such things."

"I don't think so."

Fan Ning pushed Ling You's hand away and walked forward, quickly joining in their conversation.

The three of them were too harmonious. Ling You was stunned for a moment before stepping forward. He didn't hear the end of the words, but only saw Fan Ning extending his hand towards Fu Yao opposite him.

She held a bag of spirit stones in her palm, which looked very valuable.

Ling You felt something was amiss and asked, "Do you... need some talismans too?"

The most famous thing about Zhaoyan Sect is talismans, especially the disciples led by Senior Sister Fu Yao, who are most famous for being "geniuses".

But the talisman...

"What do you want to do again?"

Fan Ning rolled her eyes at him, expressing her contempt for his inner worries.

"It's just for self-defense."

Ling You recalled the scene where someone forcibly broke the chains without any spiritual power to help him.

“There will always be a place where it’s needed.”

It sounds reasonable at first glance, but the talisman cannot withstand the thunder from heaven.

"..."

"Just think of it as a sudden whim."

Ling You accepted it and even took out a bag of spirit stones from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Fu Yao.

"Make her a double."

After watching the entire conversation between the two, Fu Yao said, "...Okay."

She doesn't understand, but respects.

"You look pretty good," Fu Yao accepted the reward, raised an eyebrow, and praised: "I thought you were another useless cultivator who talks a lot but values ​​his partner's spirit stones more than his partner himself... but surprisingly, you are quite sensible."

Ling You: “…”

Ling You felt a sting in his lips when she casually said the word "partner". He turned around to look at the smiling Fan Ning and began to mumble, "Well, partner... well, I just did what I was supposed to do."

"They haven't become a couple yet," Jiang Biehe exposed coldly. After thinking for a moment, he made another suggestion, "Let's just say it's a start."

Ling You: "...Senior Sister Jiang is still so fond of joking."

Jiang Biehe glanced at him and said, "I never joke."

Fu Yao finally noticed something was amiss. She froze for a moment, then quickly changed her mind. She coughed lightly and said, "One should choose a Taoist partner carefully. After all, a cultivator's life is long..."

Jiang Biehe glanced at her.

Fu Yao: "...If it doesn't work, we can change it."

"..." Ling You felt that he had given away the spirit stones too quickly after all.

There are so many people who can make talismans in this world, is he just missing the one in front of him?

"Pfft," Fan Ning said with a smile, "Well... I still have no plans to change."

"In our family, even if we are not satisfied, we still have a widower."

Ling You: “…”

For some reason, even though it was just a cold remark, he felt subtly relieved.

"Have the people outside been dealt with?" Ling You politely changed the subject.

Fu Yao looked at him curiously and nodded: "I have gathered all the people in the sect to guard them."

"However," she said with some worry, "there are still some disciples who are not in the sect. Although we have sent people to look for them, Yongzhou City is, after all, the territory that the Qianle Sect has occupied for a long time."

Finding someone might be unexpectedly troublesome.

"Let's check the Li family." Fan Ning smiled, remembering the reason why he was arrested, and said meaningfully, "Maybe there will be unexpected discoveries."

Fu Yao paused and explained, "The Li family... was the first to surrender to us."
