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

Senior Sister suddenly felt that Fan Ning, who was sitting next to her, became extremely distant and unfamiliar.

The weapon refiners who were also listening silently fell into silence for a moment. After a long while, a trembling voice tried to ease the deadlock:

"Junior sister, you're really thinking far ahead..."

If you listen carefully, you can seem to hear a few sounds of swallowing saliva.

Fan Ning simply didn't care about their opinions at all.

After the sounds around her disappeared, she could hear the tiny movements on the stage more clearly.

Ling You really didn't expect the other party to suddenly become enraged and explode, but fortunately he was particularly good at dealing with such emergencies.

Even if the other party broke through the limit of spiritual power content first, he did not choose to end everything directly by suppressing the other party with his realm.

If I do that... Fan Ning will definitely be angry, and maybe even show a sarcastic expression.

After all, it's a matter of life and death, it's not good to spoil her fun.

This is what Ling You thought.

He lowered his body, habitually reducing his presence. When the opponent attacked him, he seized the opportunity and kicked his sword-holding hand with his leg.

The monk, who was already on the verge of a rage collapse, felt his hand go numb, and before his body could react, the falling sword was caught by Ling You's other free hand.

"He actually let his sword slip out of his hand during the battle..." The Sword Master on the high platform sighed in disappointment.

"There is no need to continue this competition anymore."

The headmaster looked at the audience with a cold and silent expression, but his words exploded like thunder in the ears of the stunned monks.

"Ignoring the rules, being dominated by emotions, and indulging in self-pity... If this kind of monk is not disciplined, I cannot see a future for him."

Everyone who was originally whispering was stunned. They all looked up at the teachers with different expressions, and for a moment they didn't dare to say anything more.

The master's words were not only addressed to the people on the stage, but also to these monks.

Especially those cultivators who had verbally attacked others in the Abyss of Monsters, their faces turned red for a moment and they couldn't help but lower their heads.

But to be fair, this is not a harsh statement.

"It's a shame that the person who should have listened gave up. No, maybe they should have given up a long time ago." Fan Ning pulled out another spiritual fruit from somewhere and spoke with a deliberately arrogant and contemptuous tone. "But this is not surprising. If everyone could understand what was said, there wouldn't be so many great truths circulating."

Seeing Ling You, who was originally as pale as death but suddenly exploded with energy after being provoked by a word: "..."

Fan Ning really thinks highly of him.

He coldly watched the hatred value being directed at him again, and simply imitated Fan Ning's tone, saying, "If you don't have the ability, just click back consciously. This is really causing trouble for others."

"I've used up all my spiritual energy, if I still can't win..."

"You guys! Go to hell—!"

Ling You still had a malicious smile on his face, but the infinitely growing resentment of the person opposite him finally reached the threshold.

"Isn't that demonic energy?" The system, forced to become familiar with demonic energy, exclaimed in astonishment.

One thing after another happened in the trial field, and finally, all the onlookers realized that something was wrong.

"Demonic energy..." The leader narrowed his eyes and subconsciously looked at Fan Ning, who was not at all confused in the crowd.

At the moment when the demonic energy on the opposite side erupted, Fan Ning smoothly pulled the two people who were most likely to be injured out of the field, one with his left hand and one with his right hand.

The trial platform was completely blocked from view by the rising dust, as if it separated two worlds, and there was a faint demonic energy leaking out.

"I advise you not to get close. This evil energy is extremely contagious. If you get caught by mistake, you'll become a target even if you're not controlled."

"You knew this a long time ago?" The headmaster took a deep breath and looked at Fan Ning's unchanging smile. He felt a headache coming on. "Since you knew this, why did you let it develop into this?"

"Facts speak louder than words. If I just rush up and identify the evil spirit, even if you agree, will others believe it?"

Explanation, justification, and even skepticism.

These are all things she doesn't like. Since she doesn't like them, she naturally wants to turn them around.

Fan Ning was not at all afraid of the unfriendly looks coming his way. He curled his lips into a smile and said, "I have cleared away the demonic energy that appeared in the Demonic Beast Abyss. As for where the demonic energy on him came from... I'm also very curious."

"Can't you just give me some air first?"

With a snap, in full view of everyone, Ling You threw his unconscious opponent aside in disdain and walked towards Fan Ning step by step with a subtle expression, "Also, this weapon..."

He raised his palm, on which was rubbed a piece of dark green silk thread, so light and thin that if one did not look carefully, one might have simply passed it by.

"The knife is stained with your blood, it will be fine if you use your spiritual power to heal it."

Fan Ning pointed at the ball of silk thread nonchalantly, and in a flash, a short knife that looked rather ugly in the universal sense appeared before his eyes again.

"It can be like this..." The senior sister who couldn't help but show up looked dazed, as if her Ren and Du meridians were suddenly opened, and her eyes gradually became excited.

"A surprise? I prepared this especially for you. I really believe in your abilities..."

Fan Ning blinked, then turned to look at the solemn headmaster, "Isn't the matter resolved now?"

"Yeah, solved."

The headmaster looked expressionlessly at the elders behind him, who all had different expressions on their faces. Finally, his eyes fell on Jian Zun, who was completely oblivious to the conspiracy behind the scenes. His voice gradually became serious, "Now it's time to find out the mastermind behind this."

Ling You couldn't help but look at Fan Ning beside him.

Fan Ning remained calm and composed. Although she had messed things up to this point, she now had the intention of withdrawing.

"Remember my reward. It's still tiring to do it all in one go."

The headmaster frowned, and although he was annoyed, he didn't refute. "If yours were missing, your master would have come to me to make trouble."

"...Go back, the rest is my business."

Fan Ning left, and within two minutes, the voice of the headmaster came from behind him again.

This time, there was a hint of helplessness in his voice: "...Why are you following me?"

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and happened to run into the Sword Master who was following silently behind them.

Jian Zun pointed at Ling You, his expression unchanged: "The direction of his spiritual power is very interesting."

The headmaster was even more helpless: "No matter how interested he is in learning swordsmanship..."

The subtext is that you are not on the same path.

Sword Master nodded, and his originally cold expression changed slightly for a moment, as if he was truly confused by the leader who asked this question.

"Jiang Yue doesn't learn sword either, but she is our junior sister."

After saying that, he looked at Ling You again and asked, "Do you want to become my disciple? Even if you don't learn swordsmanship, I know a little bit about other martial arts."

Fan Ning immediately poked the system in his mind: [Look at them, they can even adjust! ]

The system felt wronged: [I want to do that too, but I don’t… have insufficient authority.]

Fan Ning tsks, "The Sword Master wasn't born a Sword Master. There's no reason why your system can't overthrow the General Administration? They're all systems, so why can't you take over?"

【Keep going, I support you, everything is up to you, not fate! 】

system:【……】

【It’s not up to God, but it’s up to you, right? 】

Fan Ning pretended not to hear.
