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

Although a storm was about to come outside, Fan Ning was still very happy as he was guarding his own little piece of land.

Even Ling You, who had been worried, couldn't help but relax. He ate and drank as usual, as if he had forgotten that he was still the "wanted criminal" with a sensitive identity.

Although this identity has long been in name only.

"Is it really okay for us to stay here forever?" Seeing that more and more people were hiding around Yueli Sect, Ling Youduo asked, "Aren't all those people spies from other sects?"

As the legitimate first sect, Yueli Sect's acceptance of a demon cultivator was naturally controversial, especially since Sword Master openly called this demon cultivator his "personal disciple."

In other words, the leader himself can withstand the pressure. If it were someone else, it might not be possible to let things develop in this way.

Even so, this kind of surveillance is really too much.

"Of course not," Fan Ning, who was squatting on the ground fiddling with herbs, glanced sideways at him. "It's obvious. Some people are just short of having the word 'disobedience' written all over their faces."

"It seems that the former Demon Lord has infiltrated quite a few people in the world of immortal cultivation over the years... Tsk, it's really a pity not to let him hand them over."

"...Is it really okay for you to be so blatant?"

He must have completely usurped the throne by taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness...but now he is openly expressing his dissatisfaction with others' "concealment".

and--

"Jiangxue and Huorong's recent whereabouts have been a bit strange," Ling You thought about the news sent by Qin Mingzheng, and after a moment's thought, he said with some doubt: "They all have things belonging to the previous Demon Lord... If they betrayed him, it seems completely normal."

"That kind of thing is totally unimportant." In fact, the Demon Lord's ability to achieve absolute control also relies on the power of the abyss. If he knew that the things sealed underground had become someone else's possession, his counterattack would definitely be much more intense than the current minor fight.

But he didn't know.

"He won't tear his face with me in public," Fan Ning lazily dug a layer of soil, picked out a few medicinal herbs, and then continued slowly, "My desire is actually a good thing for him."

If he were to lose all sense of existence, that would be the beginning of something really bad.

"Okay," Ling You shrugged.

He trusted Fan Ning's attitude and quickly changed the topic to another matter.

"We've already found what you asked Qin Mingzheng to find, but... the final clue is lost within the Yueli Sect," Ling You said cautiously. "The Sect Leader is extremely sensitive to this matter. Even the slightest probing will arouse his suspicions. If we want to continue... I'm afraid it won't be accomplished in the short term."

Although Qin Mingzheng is not affiliated with a sect, she has Gu Yuanzhou behind her. If she really wants to do anything big, she has to consider the other party. If it will affect Gu Yuanzhou, she is afraid she will not be happy.

"This is a cash-for-goods relationship. That price certainly can't buy her risking her life."

Fan Ning accepted it well. After hearing the news, he nodded and increased Qin Mingzheng's salary by another 10%.

"I've already thought about what to do next. Please ask someone to tell her..."

Ling You's expression gradually changed from solemn to slightly shocked, and finally returned to a complex arc.

"Is this really okay?"

"What's the problem?" Fan Ning smiled, her hands pounding the selected herbs briskly. A cool light fell on her, as if she were separated from the world by a veil. "If you don't want to be a target, just use a different knife."

-

Two days later, something big happened in Yueli Sect.

Ling You walked around and before he could ask a few questions, he successfully got the answer from the talkative little disciple.

"The Yueli Sect was unexpectedly attacked in the middle of the night... Although they seemed to have mistaken the location, in the end, only some unimportant records were stolen from the library."

The disciple who talked about this matter was very sad. As a cultivator under the Yueli Sect, he had no ill feelings towards Ling You, who had recently topped the gossip list in the world of immortal cultivation, and was very happy to tell him what he knew.

Of course, as an ordinary disciple who rarely appeared around the library and did not participate in the incident, what he knew was not absolutely true.

At the very least - the theft of some unimportant information is suspicious.

Ling You walked around thoughtfully for a few times. Since this incident happened in the First Sect, it was already a huge event and there were many rumors. The only similarities among those rumors were the time, place and "some data was lost."

"They haven't touched the core content." Fan Ning opened the window and looked out at the mountain where nothing could be seen. His eyes narrowed slightly. "It seems that the Demon Lord's people are also quite useless. They are completely useless."

"Then do you want to continue?" Ling You asked her.

"No," Fan Ning turned around slowly, his eyes showing a hint of determination, "I should find some allies now."

After all, that thing involves the origin of the world, and the Demon Lord will never let it go.

Rather than waiting for him to make a comeback, it is better to nip such signs in the bud from the beginning - anyway, if things continue to develop like this, they will definitely not be able to be hidden.

Ling You: "I know who you're talking about...but will this really work?"

"You just lured someone to attack the sect last night."

"Why do you think there are no casualties in the sect?" Fan Ning was very calm. For her, harming Yueli Sect was never something she wanted to do.

If the Demon Lord really has the ability, it would not be a bad thing for her if the things left Yueli Sect.

But if the Demon Lord fails to succeed, there is still a lot of room for maneuver.

Fan Ning chuckled, "The headmaster won't mind. He must know a lot to be able to keep the matter so secret."

"Death and rebirth... a catastrophic fusion," Fan Ning muttered to himself, the smile on his face gradually fading. "Fate..."

"I'm with you," Ling You suddenly held her hand, his eyes fixed on her, and he said calmly, "I'm also involved in this matter. We should face it together."

Fan Ning laughed at him: "Are you worried about me?"

Ling You: "...This isn't a matter of worrying or not worrying."

The Yueli Sect leader was at least an acquaintance, an acquaintance with whom he had some feelings. If Fan Ning was left alone to face all the possible consequences...

Even if the outcome was already predetermined, it really couldn't be considered gentle.

"I'm not a porcelain doll that's easily broken." Fan Ning saw through his eyes and sighed, but the smile on the corner of her mouth curled up again, as if helpless, "But if you are willing, I won't refuse."
