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

"Junior Brother Ling You, Junior Sister Fan Ning...what are you doing?" In an attempt to ease the embarrassment, the senior sister looked at Fan Ning who had already landed for help.

"I was frightened by the local customs," Fan Ning said, "but now they've calmed down. It's not a big deal."

The senior sister glanced at Ling You, whose expression gradually eased but was still unhappy, and pulled the corner of her mouth helplessly.

Ling You silently put his arm around Fan Ning's waist, the corner of his mouth curving, "...It seems the He Huan Sect has set its sights on us."

The senior sister was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "The Hehuan Sect... doesn't do things like breaking up couples, right?"

"Is it possible? I mean..." A cultivator standing nearby reacted, hesitating as he looked at Ling You's gloomy face, and made a difficult guess: "When they say they won't separate the 'Daoist couple', do they mean they have already held a Daoist couple ceremony? ... Just like a folk marriage."

"..."

Ling You held his breath, turned his head and looked at Fan Ning solemnly.

Fan Ning laughed, patted his hand and consoled him, "Don't worry, I won't fall in love with someone else easily..."

Ling You questioned: "Easy?"

Fan Ning pinched his chin and thought, "But what if you fall in love with someone else first, or if you die accidentally..."

"There's no such possibility." Ling You lowered his eyes, not leaving himself any chance of retreat. "If I ever betray you, you can just kill me."

Fan Ning was surprised: "Isn't this a matter of course?"

Everyone who was quietly listening to the conversation between the two: "......???"

Ling You: “…”

Fan Ning smiled slightly, hinting, "I've said it before, if something like this happens... I will not only kill you, but I will also hold your soul in my hands and lock it up with chains."

The monks: "..." They looked embarrassed.

I just felt that the two people who were originally very pleasing to the eye gradually became strange.

Especially when I saw that Ling You not only did not lose his expression, but also showed a hidden smile.

Ling You: “…Yeah.”

Monks: “…………”

Is this really reasonable?

They looked at each other, gradually falling into suspicion.

"Are you surprised?" Fan Ning spread his hands, his eyes curved in a smile. "If we can't be born on the same day, then we have to die on the same day... I remember this kind of plot was very popular."

Ling You nodded without changing his expression.

The monks were shocked again and again and remained silent.

"You two are indeed the most suitable couple," Qin Mingzheng was the first to stand up, hiding the surprise in her eyes and offering them sincere praise.

Gu Yuanzhou, who was following behind her, froze for a moment when he heard this, but soon, as if he had let go of something, he also echoed, "...This is how Taoist couples should be."

As he spoke, his serious eyes were always fixed on Qin Mingzheng in front of him.

During this short trip to Yueli Sect, no one knew what he had realized, but he was completely transformed.

...It is true that only when one loses something can one clear away the confusion in front of them and learn to cherish more?

Fan Ning thought lightly, and when the shadow of a certain person appeared in his mind, he erased the words with the same calmness.

——Some people will only deceive themselves even if they know they are wrong and never turn back.

With the comparison, she looked at Gu Yuanzhou and reluctantly got rid of the shadow of her old friend, and he looked much more pleasing to her eyes.

Not to make things more difficult for him, Fan Ning glanced at Qin Mingzheng who was in a somewhat happy mood, and said nothing more, but just raised the corners of his lips slightly and smiled.

His gaze fell on the hand that Gu Yuanzhou quietly clasped.

Qin Mingzheng obviously realized something, and a hint of shyness appeared on her face.

The single monks, who vaguely sensed that the atmosphere was not right, silently took a step back.

After a long time, the brother who was chosen as the temporary team leader composed his expression, stood in the middle and began to remind the monks around him of the precautions.

"Among the three major sects in the South China Sea, the Hehuan Sect is considered average. If you encounter disciples from the other two sects, it's best to avoid conflict."

The monks who knew a little about it all showed a look of understanding.

Of the three major sects, excluding the Hehuan Sect, the remaining two, one was suppressed by the Yueli Sect for many years, and the other had its position as a major weapon refining sect taken away by the Qingyun Sect...

In particular, the Yueli and Qingyun sects were previously well-known friendly and cooperative sects.

It’s not a big grudge, but it’s still a grudge.

After listening to the monk's whispered explanation beside him, Fan Ning's eyes flashed with interest.

Ling You did not miss the change in her expression. His thoughts shifted between persuasion and neutrality, and finally he moved to the position of "let it be" in a very unpromising way.

Of course, this "let it be" means that "Fan Ning's idea is above everything else."

The leading senior brother didn't notice the two men's subtle thoughts. After seeing that everyone had understood, he added, "I heard that the rewards for this sect competition are particularly generous. Everyone needs to be extra careful during the competition... After all, during the sect competition, the only stipulation is that there must not be heavy casualties. There are no restrictions on the location or time."

In previous years, there were some people who liked to do some small actions in secret. As long as it was not too excessive and there was no substantial evidence, the elders of the sect would generally just regard it as part of the trial.

But money is a motivating thing, and the clues about this time's rewards were leaked early on. Although they were just some vague rumors, they were already much better than in previous years.

The senior brother had a worried look on his face. His eyes fell on the two people who had been the most popular recently, but he found that their attention had already been distracted.

"It seems like someone is staring at us," Fan Ning suddenly spoke, turned sideways and raised his eyes, and immediately caught a frightened head that hid away.

Ling You was the same. After noticing the extra gazes, he became alert.

"Everyone, please disperse first," the leading brother frowned, realizing the seriousness of the atmosphere, and repeated his words again.

"...In a few days, the leader and his men will arrive," he said, "and then we won't be so passive."

……is that so?

Fan Ning, who had already noticed the situation, became slightly interested, thinking indifferently in his heart that this might not be the case.

"Tonight we..." Ling You hesitated.

"Let's just stay in the same room tonight," Fan Ning said calmly, "I have a feeling someone might have a nightmare if we sleep separately, right?"

Sensing her teasing intent, Ling You helplessly dropped all his disguises and complained, half-truthfully, "It's also a nuisance when your partner is too popular."

Judging from the fierce battle situation on the streets today, there will only be more, not fewer, eyes watching at night.

"I really want to eliminate this trouble once and for all..." Ling You sighed sadly, "If I had known this would happen, I would have come later."
