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

"Boy, do you know what you are talking about?"

It was like a voice coming from far away. In an instant, the memories that were covered by a layer of mist struggled to emerge in my mind like a new bud breaking through the soil.

Yu Changqing's body swayed and he subconsciously leaned against the door frame beside him.

"I'm……"

"It seems that you have passed the first question," the person standing opposite smiled, the wine gourd hanging on his body swaying, but his eyes were clear and serious.

"Senior," Yu Changqing recovered and bowed to him politely.

"You should know what to do now," the man called "senior" said, his expression unchanged. After glancing at the young man several times, he turned and waved his hand, exiting the scene with remarkable grace. "I will guard the treasures of the city. If you're brave enough, you can come directly to me to claim them."

The distance between the Out-of-Body Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage is like a natural chasm. If one really wants to win by force, one must gather the majority of other cultivators participating in this trial to have a glimmer of hope.

but……

Yu Changqing rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little puzzled when he thought about the wonderful feeling of his memory being revived.

This is obviously one of the tests in the sect competition. If you participate in other people's tests without authorization, it may only backfire.

He stood at the door for a while, feeling the cold wind, and then went back in the slightly chilly weather.

These thoughts were honestly seen through the water mirror by the elders of other sects. As Yu Changqing's master, Gu Qingzhi didn't say it, but he was satisfied in his heart.

"Master Gu has accepted a good disciple. There are not many disciples who can pass the test with such determination, even in previous years." Jiang Liu smiled, leaned lazily in the chair, and was not stingy with his praise.

but--

"What kind of expression would he have if he knew what he missed today?"

The leader of the Hehuan Sect curled his eyes and pointed meaningfully at the other water mirror.

It showed the scene inside the City Lord's Mansion.

No one knew what Fan Ning had done specifically, but he not only easily instigated those who already had ulterior motives to rebel, but he also quickly captured his loyal supporters and without wasting a single second, he led his men to confront the city lord.

It was very sloppy, but some people had money and captives... and even took advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters with several sect disciples, so it seemed that there was indeed a good chance of winning.

The city lord looked old, but after realizing this as well, his face remained calm.

"If you just want more money and power, I can't hand this city over to you."

He looked straight into Fan Ning's eyes, his back straight and his eyes clear, without any sign of stupidity or incompetence.

"I didn't ask for your opinion," Fan Ning rubbed his ears, confused, "I'm already standing here, doesn't that mean something?"

The city lord continued to look at her, the aura of a superior lingering on his body, as if he wanted to get some answers from her face.

But Fan Ning was obviously a person who was not afraid at all. Not only did his expression not change, he even played with the long hair of the person next to him with ease.

"Haven't you thought about it yet?" Fan Ning glanced at him calmly and said casually, "If you really don't want to hand this city over to me... then you'd better convince yourself again."

"If opening your eyes doesn't work, just close them. The result won't change anyway. Just work on the process yourself."

She smiled and encouraged: "I believe you can do it!"

City Lord: "..."

Ling You also echoed: "Fan Ning will be a good city lord."

"..."

The city lord gave him a complicated look, but Ling You dodged well. He had just finished speaking this sentence, and before the last word fell, his eyes had already honestly moved away.

So... I can't even convince myself!

"Ahem, where's Mr. Luo? What have you done with him?" The City Lord coughed and swayed a bit as he was dragged to his feet, looking particularly bleak in the dim night light. "He won't ignore the change of the City Lord's position..."

"He poisoned his wine flask," she yawned, easily guessing what he was saying. It was almost dawn, she thought, deciding to make a quick decision. "Is there anyone else you want to entrust? Tell me all at once."

"The guards of the City Lord's Mansion..."

"The guards are tight, but there aren't enough of them. They're all going to the city to maintain order."

"my son……"

"He was knocked unconscious and probably hasn't woken up yet."

"The others..."

“They are all alive, but they are just alive.”

Fan Ning answered his question in a good mood, not even considering the shock he had brought to the city lord. He even had the leisure to kindly add, "I'll demonstrate it to you this time. Remember to pay more attention next time. It's easy to get into trouble if you're so lax."

"Well...it's okay if you didn't notice," she said with a sudden smile, "I forgot about it, and you won't have another chance."

The city lord said nothing, staring at the man who had no serious temperament at all. He clenched his fists unwillingly, and his face looked like he had aged several years.

"Why...why did you choose to take advantage of the situation now..."

"Because I'm feeling weak right now," Fan Ning rubbed his ears and replied matter-of-factly, "Take advantage of the opportunity, take advantage of the opportunity... If not now, do I have to wait until you all recover?"

"Lord City Lord, stop resisting. There's no one behind you..."

Fan Ningxu smiled, vaguely realizing that his casual words seemed to have touched upon something fundamental. The expression of the person in front of him suddenly changed, becoming sad and sorrowful.

She paused, then pondered for a moment before changing her tone. "Can you tell me now? What are you hiding that you can't reveal to the public?"

"Click", the teacup on the table was swept off.

Broken porcelain pieces fell all over the floor, but the person standing next to them was completely unaware, as if he had been possessed by something while still awake, his face was terrifyingly pale.

It seems that there is really something hidden.

Fan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that there were probably some heavy things hidden in it. She patted Ling You beside her and signaled him to drive away the outsiders first, then she slowly leaned over and pressed the city lord's face with one hand as he wanted to avoid it.

"can not say?"

The city lord gritted his teeth, shook his head firmly and slowly, remained silent for a long time, and only uttered an extremely reluctant "no comment".

Fan Ning snorted and laughed, a devilish glint in his eyes. "No comment... If it was someone else, maybe it would be fine, but I like to force people to do things they don't want to do."

Ling You was stunned for a moment when he heard such a bad line. He thought about it, and condemned Fan Ning a little in his heart, but his body honestly closed the door tightly.

He took personal action to prevent the city lord from escaping with even the slightest possibility.
