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

Ling You frowned, then calmed down and asked, "Even you can't do anything?"

"The sect's actions to eliminate the demonic cultivators were so blatant. The Demon Lord must have learned a lesson from it." Fan Ning felt his pulse and shook his head. "Of course there is a way, but how can I find someone who can study demonic energy and detoxify it for you?"

Ling You looked at Fan Ning with a very straightforward gaze.

Fan Ning was very sorry: "I don't know how to cure this poison."

All of her skills so far have had clear purposes. It seems that she knows a little bit of everything, but in fact they are just survival skills forced out by adversity. She has talent, but is far from being fully proficient.

Compared to truly cultivated geniuses, they lack a lot of time for research.

"If Master could arrive, or if I could see the medicinal herbs used by the Demon Lord, we would have a chance, but it's obviously impossible now."

Fan Ning thought about it, his eyes moved, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of a different aura.

"It seems I've come at the right time," a teasing voice came before the person arrived.

Jiangxue's shadow emerged from the end of the road. The deep purple color on her body seemed to be marinated with the fragrance of flowers. In the distance, a few fearless butterflies fluttered their wings.

"They really can't trap you," Ling You was not surprised. He was tired and didn't have the energy to go against him. He simply made way and let Cheng Shuanglu out.

"I didn't escape from prison," Jiangxue smiled, squatted down, took out a pill from her body, pried open Cheng Shuang's mouth and fed it into her.

After pinching and swallowing, Cheng Shuang's face, which was covered with black air, gradually turned pale.

"It's just a clone," Jiang Xue patted her sleeves, her eyes fell on Fan Ning, and then she explained, "It's because our Demon Lord has such a terrifying desire for control. He stole the power of the abyss and put some control on us. It's not enough, even when gathering information, he only sends his clone."

"They say it's for my safety, but in reality, aren't they just afraid that I'll get revenge and then abandon everything else? They're watching over me and won't let me escape."

Ling You felt something was wrong and asked, "Then why are you here now?"

"Because..." Jiangxue dragged out her words and blinked suddenly, "Because all those things before were lies to you."

Ling You: “…”

Jiang Xue smiled kindly, "The power blessed by the abyss is comparable to the laws of heaven, how could it be inappropriate?"

"That's a dead end with no solution at all."

"...What?" Ling You's eyes widened. He seemed unable to believe what he heard, and his expression turned pale. "What did you just say... a dead end?"

"..."

"Has anyone among you fallen into the trap?" Jiang Xue realized something and the smile disappeared from her face.

What you said is really inappropriate... Fan Ning felt helpless. Due to the unspeakable rules of the system, any words he could open to refute became extremely pale.

“How can I prove that I’m fine…”

Jiang Xue turned her head stiffly, unable to believe it: "Your Highness Fan Ning, you mean..."

"Ah, I fell into his trap, but I think it should be different," Fan Ning tried to explain. She blinked innocently and for the first time in her life she experienced what it meant to have unspeakable pain.

Jiangxue's alarm bells rang, and her mouth answered much faster than her thoughts.

"That kind of vicious control technique will cause black vines to grow on the arms. Under the same constraints, the higher the cultivation level, the more freedom they can control. Those with less cultivation will become his puppets."

Ling You thought of Deadpool with empty eyes before he died.

His eyes darkened completely.

"Fan Ning," Ling You half-knelt on the ground, holding her hanging hands tightly, looking at the helpless and distressed smiling face in front of him, as if he had stepped on empty air on a cliff, and even his soul seemed to fall straight down.

If Fan Ning showed even the slightest sign of pain, he would be doomed to failure.

Fan Ning obviously understood this. Even though she prided herself on being calm, she couldn't help but feel a dilemma when she saw the pair of eyes in front of her that looked like they would break if blown by the wind.

Fan Ning lowered her head slightly, and her hanging hair was pulled by the wind, floating for a long time, and finally fell on Ling You's shoulder.

"Are you willing to believe me? Even if it seems ridiculous," she said only this sentence while looking down at the person in front of her.

Ling You's fingertips trembled, and then his eyes... until the electric shock-like helplessness reached his heart.

He could no longer tell what emotions were in his heart.

Jiangxue had no reason to lie, but ignoring the threat of the Heavenly Dao Contract, she believed in a person whose cultivation level was not even obvious... How absurd was this idea?

The person in front of me didn't even give any extra explanation.

——How stingy.

What were the reasons? What were the consequences? ... He should have asked.

But the thought that wanted to tear my heart apart and question him disappeared unwillingly the moment I saw the smile on Fan Ning's lips.

"Fan Ning, you can't lie to me."

"I will not lie to you."

"If you can't hold it anymore, you can't just quietly endure it yourself."

"I won't be unable to hold on."

"...Even if you go to the ends of the earth, you can't leave me alone."

"..." Fan Ning sighed and stared at the serious expression of the person in front of her. She seemed to want to laugh, but as soon as the corners of her mouth turned up, a sigh escaped from her lips again.

"Don't worry," she patted Ling You's head, her tone couldn't be colder, "If I ever see that day, I will definitely kill you first and bury you with me."

"I won't give up the habit of making others successful, even if that person is you."

"Your life has long been tied to mine."

Ling You smiled, a smile that was sincere and crazy in the face of the extremely threatening promise.

If that's really what you said, why do you have to endure all this for me?

Ling You wanted to question, but the words went around in his mouth and dissolved deep in his throat.

"it is good."

Only this one firm word remains.

He raised his head and said, "I promised you, you must keep your word."

Fan Ning finally smiled, and slowly stood up holding the somewhat stiff Ling You's hand, his eyes falling on Jiang Xue who looked stunned.

There was no intention to explain this matter, "How is Cheng Shuang now?"

Jiang Xue was distracted for a moment and quickly lowered her eyes. "She's basically fine now. It's just that the poison damaged her foundation. Her future training will be more difficult, and she needs to be well nurtured."

"Hmm," Fan Ning nodded and sighed, "I'd better advise her to come to Yongzhou City less often. This place... probably doesn't suit her."

I was tricked twice in the same day, and each time I managed to avoid disaster for others...

Well, this is more than just bad luck.
