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

Ling You was a little stumped by the question.

In theory, to achieve the desired outcome, he should have glossed over the past exposed by his subordinates. However, when it came to actually answering, those cunning thoughts sank silently, and the only thing left on his lips was: "What he said is true."

Be it looking for someone for a year or confirming the importance of the other person in your heart... as long as these things are involved, those words that you want to quibble with can't be said no matter what.

Fan Ning feigned surprise after hearing this: "Hey, should I praise you for being honest?"

"But if I hear you say that... aren't you afraid that I'll just turn around and leave?"

Ling You pursed his lower lip, his brows slightly drooping, as if he had thought about something, but also as if he had not thought about anything.

"You will not."

He didn't show it on his face, but he was miraculously certain in his heart.

Fan Ning sighed and looked at him with a smile, as if she could no longer bear the other's sticky gaze and shrugged helplessly.

"Well," she said, "what makes you so popular with me?"

Ling You's eyes lit up.

"But you have to accompany me to meet my old friend," Fan Ning didn't finish his words. Instead, he stood up and walked towards the intersection of the two worlds, casually waving back, "Want to come?"

Ling You realized where she wanted to go, frowned, and followed behind her to express his concerns: "The world of immortal cultivation is not peaceful right now. I am a demon king after all. If I rashly intrude into their territory, I will definitely be on guard, and then I will implicate you."

He paused and said with reason, "Why don't I change my appearance and stay by your side..."

"You can't tell you're the Demon Lord right now," Fan Ning tilted her head and put the veil, which was almost falling, back on his face, her fingertips deliberately brushing the tip of his nose. "Keep this up. If you're recognized... you'll have to return home alone in disgrace."

Ling You: “…”

Ling You felt that the consequences of this were a bit serious, "Can't I really change my clothes?"

"I want to introduce you to my master... What's the point of you being so sneaky? Do you think I have bad taste?"

Ling You was immediately devastated by this sentence.

He followed the person in front of him and crossed the line, trying his best to hide the demonic energy in his body, even trying too hard, making his cheeks look particularly pale.

...looked very nervous.

Fan Ning felt like laughing, so he simply held the other person's hand and calmly passed the warmth of his palm to him.

Even though he didn't say anything, Ling You opened his eyes in slight surprise when he sensed that presence.

The two soon arrived at the foot of a familiar mountain. Looking at the two words "Yue Li" on the mountain gate, Ling You was unusually silent and even had the idea of ​​backing out again.

"You don't want to go in, why?" Fan Ning asked knowingly.

Ling You stared quietly at the location of the mountain gate, as if he was missing something, and a faint smile could not help but appear at the corner of his mouth.

"Perhaps my current identity is too shameful to be seen with others," Ling You suppressed the corners of his mouth and gave a wry smile, but he did not hide his true thoughts. "In there... there is an old friend who I don't know how to meet."

After losing the shadow of "Fan Ning" in his memory, the upper demon lord Ling You is far less willful than his former self. Their identities and positions are different. Even if he still cares about the master-disciple friendship they once had... As the Sword Master of Yueli Sect, how will the other party view these?

It’s just that they have different paths and don’t seek each other’s will.

"Go back, it's my fault this time," Ling You's head drooped in disappointment. While he said this, his eyes once again went against his master's wishes and looked into the mountain gate from afar.

In his memory, there weren't many memorable places in Yueli Sect, except for the aloof Sword Master. Since his mother's death, he had rarely felt such care from his elders.

If possible, why would he want to leave in such a disgrace?

"Well...it's not that I have to force it," Fan Ning pinched her chin. She was not surprised at Ling You's behavior, but sometimes, the timing given by God was just a little too coincidental.

"What brings this big shot from the demon world to Yueli Sect?" At the end of the stairs, Yu Changqing, who came with a sword, had a cold look on his face. He stared straight at Ling You who was standing on the side - it was obvious that his disguise could only fool people who were not familiar with him.

As for Yueli Sect——

I didn't enter as a demon cultivator in the first place, so hiding the demonic energy was just a way to eliminate one interference factor.

"It seems like this won't end well," Fan Ning sighed softly, pulling Ling You with one hand and interlocking their fingers. Then he turned sideways and asked him, "Since we're here, why don't we go in and take a look?"

"No matter what they do, they can't attack the real Demon Lord...right?"

"I'm not... forget it," Ling You looked at Yu Changqing who was walking towards him. He didn't know what kind of emotions he was enduring in his heart. Although his face was not very good-looking, he had no intention of avoiding him again.

Coincidentally, Yu Changqing had no intention of arresting anyone.

"The master wants to talk to you. Since you are already here, please come in with me," Yu Changqing used very polite words. The emotion in his eyes showed that he still regarded the person in front of him as his junior brother rather than being hostile to the noble Demon Lord.

Unfortunately, Ling You was so confused at the time that he didn't notice the strangeness in the other person's expression.

Yu Changqing looked at Fan Ning again, who looked relaxed. Considering his junior brother's current status and the vague feeling of strangeness in his heart, he added, "May I ask who this young lady is... Without a legitimate reason, one cannot enter the Yueli Sect's territory casually."

Ling You collected himself and turned to look at Fan Ning again. He lowered his head slightly and asked, "Is the person you're looking for in there too?"

"Yes," Fan Ning said frankly, but did not mean to say who that person was.

Relying on his own memory, Ling You was also self-satisfied - although he never expected that the master Fan Ning mentioned was just an ordinary elder, but he had seen several famous people in Yueli Sect, and they probably had no relationship with Fan Ning.

"You look like you've figured something out?" Fan Ning, perceptive as she was, immediately understood Ling You's inner thoughts the moment his expression changed. She asked with interest, "Who is my master? Do you already have the answer in mind?"

"...No matter who they are, I will treat them as my elders."

Ling You lowered his eyes, thinking he was considerate and didn't say anything, and just happened to miss the evil smile that flashed in the eyes of the people around him.
