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

Would you rather fool yourself into thinking it is a blessing than place all your unwillingness on another individual?

Is this confusion or clarity?

Fan Ning smiled, patted Qin Mingzheng's shoulder, and softened his tone, "Would you like to make a deal with me? Regardless of success or failure, you can't stay where you are for the rest of your life, right?"

Ling You suspected that the "stay where you are" she said was definitely not what he meant.

The other party apparently thought so too.

Qin Mingzheng raised her head slightly, her eyes seemed to have been washed by water, gentle and sad.

Fan Ning did not rush her and showed the best patience in his life.

She believed that the person in front of her was not someone who would stand still, and the other party also reciprocated this trust very well.

"Can I know your plan?" Qin Mingzheng raised the corner of her mouth, but perhaps her crying had amplified too many emotions, so even the most handy part was difficult to maintain.

"Forget it," she stood up and approached Fan Ning, wiping her eyes and looking at her with a desperate look, "I've heard Ah Zhou mention your name all the time. If it were you, you wouldn't have made me look so embarrassed."

"You can't hurt Ah Zhou. That's my bottom line."

Fan Ning curled his lips and said, "Okay, I'm not interested in doing unnecessary things."

"As long as he doesn't show off in front of me, it doesn't matter if we never meet."

Ling You: “…”

Ling You: “…………” You’re not like this to me…

He didn't say anything, and not only that, the idea that had already faded became even stronger.

"What are you thinking?"

"...Fan Ning."

"!!" Ling You, who was caught distracted again, widened his eyes.

He stared closely at Fan Ning who deliberately came closer to him, and when he realized what he had said, his face turned red little by little.

Jiang Biehe also looked over, but unlike Qin Mingzheng who had a gentle smile on her face, she was looking in the direction of Fan Ning.

"Okay, okay, I know I'm gentle, kind, and considerate. It's perfectly understandable that you're falling in love with me... There's no need to feel inferior about it."

Ling You: “…”

He turned his face away out of habit and withdrew his heartbeat again.

[I guess he must be regretting it, even though he gave me so much heart points...]

Fan Ning spread his hands, his tone showing a nonchalant indifference towards life and death: [So what? It's not shameful to like me.]

[It is his fate to be the one I fleece! ]

system:【……】

I told you that there is hell ahead!

However, its words could not be conveyed, and it could only rage helplessly in its mind.

Ling You, who was once again struck by Fan Ning's pretty face, cleaned up the broken atmosphere as usual. He glanced at the two people who obviously had something to say, and dragged Jiang Biehe out.

Jiang Biehe: “?”

Jiang Biehe was not very willing.

But Ling You's attitude this time was unusually firm: "No one likes to reveal their true feelings in public."

Jiang Biehe: "...I'm done guessing."

Ling You: "Even after guessing, it won't work!"

Seeing that peaceful means were about to fail to stop this person, Ling You's head was bulging with veins, and he simply stopped pretending, "You will hinder Fan Ning by doing this!"

If Qin Mingzheng refused to give in because of embarrassment, did they really think the two of them would be able to get away with it!

Jiang Biehe understood, and when he mentioned "Fan Ning", he moved faster than Ling You.

Ling You was still thinking about persuading her, but she had already taken the lead and turned defense into offense, dragging people out.

Ling You: “……?”

Ling You was a little bit defeated.

He questioned, "I just said so much, isn't it more useful than Fan Ning's words?"

Jiang Biehe nodded and said as if it was a matter of course, "What else?"

She lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the various people downstairs, her eyes suddenly becoming cold and distant.

Like a handful of snow standing alone in the world under the sun.

"Fan Ning is different." Her expression was blank, and her pupils seemed to be slightly dilated. "She and I... are the most different beings in this world."

Ling You: “…”

Ling You opened his mouth, but finally closed it.

He felt that the person who should hear these words was not him, but Fan Ning who was fooling the innocent girl inside.

Fan Ning certainly didn't know that in just a short while, he had become an alien in the eyes of others.

…Although she wouldn’t care even if she knew.

Ling You sighed, thinking of the face that could not be erased from his mind, and felt a little complicated for a moment.

"Do you like Fan Ning?" Jiang Biehe suddenly turned and looked at him.

Ling You pointed at himself, and the words of refusal were on the tip of his tongue, but he choked and started to cough violently.

If it were someone else, they would probably change the subject.

But Jiang Biehe is obviously not an ordinary person.

Not only did she not change, but she frowned as if she had found something thorny, "You'd better not like her anymore."

Ling You: “……!”

"Why? This shouldn't be your decision, right?" He was so excited that he only remembered what he had said after he had said it, and hurriedly tried to make amends, "That's not what I meant... I meant... How could I possibly like Fan Ning——"

"That's great." Jiang Biehe turned his head away without interest after hearing the answer. His gaze lingered on the people below. After a long moment, he muttered to himself, "She has her own destiny..."

Ling You suspected that these words were directed at himself.

But who is she? Fan Ning?

...If I said this to Fan Ning, I would only get a cold snort.

It really doesn't make sense to link that person with the word "fate".

She clearly seems to be very good at challenging fate.

"...Your smile is suspicious, huh?"

A thoughtful face suddenly appeared!

Ling You leaned back, and although he was at the Golden Core stage, he still bumped into the railing like an ordinary person.

"Hiss..." Fan Ning followed with the dubbing.

Ling You asked without hope: "How much did you hear?"

"...'How could I possibly like Fan Ning?'" Fan Ning smiled, her eyes narrowed like crescent moons. "You said it so loudly, everyone here should have heard it."

"That's a powerful statement."

Ling You's face froze for a moment.

"There are some things you can't say easily, even if you're angry." Qin Mingzheng, who also looked in from the door, covered her face with her sleeves. She seemed to have touched a soft spot, and her previous reluctance to talk about it changed. "If it comes true, I won't even have an excuse to get close."

Ling You pressed the mask on his face.

The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to sneer at this, but in the end, looking into Fan Ning's eyes, he still said nothing.

…If I were to explain it, my intention would be too straightforward.

If you don't explain...

It always feels like I threw a boomerang at myself.
