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

"Fan Ning, watch your attitude."

After she finished speaking, the headmaster finally came out slowly to smooth things over, "Qingyun Sect has no bad intentions. Now that people have seen it, they will naturally not continue to pester her."

The leader of Qingyun Sect covered his mouth and coughed, his eyes drooping, as if he was thinking about a countermeasure.

He naturally didn't believe that the three people in front of him had never left, but he lacked the most crucial evidence to expose this fact.

"You seem to really think so." Fan Ning stood up straight, looked coldly at the sullen Qingyun Sect Master, and laughed in anger, "Our leader speaks in a nice way, but I'm not."

"Thank you for coming to see us. You are really working hard. You are worthy of being the leader of Qingyun Sect."

"Are you going to endure it anymore?" Fan Ning said sarcastically, turning his head to look at Ling You beside him.

Ling You was stunned, and the smile that had just appeared on the corner of his mouth collapsed in an instant.

Although he still didn't know what he couldn't bear, but since Fan Ning said so -

"After all, he is the Sect Master," he covered his mouth and coughed dryly, mumbling, "I can't continue to trouble the Sect Master."

Leader: "..."

The veins on his forehead twitched, and he felt a lot heavier when he thought of the sword master who suddenly broke into his house tonight.

"If I don't bother the Sect Master... do I have to suffer the consequences?" Fan Ning's face was filled with disapproval. He drew out the talisman in his hand and sighed, "Suffering a backlash from seclusion is no ordinary injury. Cultivators are known for their keen hearing and vision, and you are particularly attentive to unfamiliar auras... Otherwise, how could you be disturbed by the argument and end up hurting yourself in such a state of confusion?"

The system was dumbfounded: [You...skinned the same sheep twice?]

Still using the same reason!

Ling You understood and spit out a mouthful of blood, "Master..."

Leader: "!!!"

"Backlash is difficult to cure. Even if the master takes action, rare and precious herbs are needed to completely cure it." Jiang Biehe saw the situation and took out a pill from his waist and fed it to the man, shaking his head while taking his pulse.

The system was confused. [That backlash wasn't that serious, right?]

How could it remember...that was just an ordinary spiritual vein being impacted, and the rest were all made up by Fan Ning relying on no one to verify it?

Fan Ning reached out and patted Ling You on the back, deliberately supporting him with a very familiar gesture, and said, "Even in such a state, you still want to act stubbornly. But seeing how calmly the leader of Qingyun Sect handled it, maybe this is not the first time."

"If this is the case for disciples who have the support of Lord Sword Master, what about those who don't? Will they be burned to ashes before they even get justice?"

Ling You staggered after being hit by her, and not only did he coincidentally step on the sound transmission talisman on the ground, but he also unfortunately activated it.

Leader: "..."

The leader of Qingyun Sect: "..."

Fan Ning twisted Ling You hard, causing him to groan, and then he opened his mouth to complain.

"Master Sword Master! Your disciple has been severely bullied. His retreat was interrupted because of a rumor, and now he's suffering the consequences - will you do anything about it?"

"..."

After a period of silence, the cold voice of Sword Master came from the opposite side.

"I'm here to reflect on my mistakes."

A minute later, the talisman turned into ashes in the snow, and in its place, another tall figure appeared.

Since Fan Ning explained the whole cause and effect of the matter in one breath, the Sword Master, who was already feeling upset, drew his sword as soon as he landed.

Ling You felt uncomfortable and just glanced at the figure blocking his way before looking away.

But Fan Ning was not in such a mood. Not only did she not feel guilty, she was also very good at adding fuel to the fire.

"Ling You doesn't want to clash with the Sect Master, but as your disciple, if someone were to get injured for no apparent reason, wouldn't that tarnish your reputation?"

"To put it in a broader sense... Yueli Sect—"

"Ahem," the Sect Master stopped him in time, "Fan Ning, I know you've been wronged, but the Qingyun Sect is quite powerful, and we won't treat Ling You unfairly."

"Some things can't be said so arbitrarily."

A cold sword was placed in front of the leader of Qingyun Sect.

"Ling You is my disciple," said Jian Zun, with his brows and eyes like swords, who would not give up after seeing him, "I must seek justice for him."

"The sect leader's spiritual power still remains on the Cliff of Repentance. If you want evidence..."

"No need," the leader of Qingyun Sect glared at Fan Ning who was full of interest, stretched out his hand, took out a token from his waist and threw it over.

"With this as proof, Qingyun Sect will pay sufficient compensation, including the medicinal herbs designated by Elder Qian Jiangyue himself." He snorted coldly, forcing himself to swallow his anger, and the rest of the words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth. "Qingyun Sect is not short of spirit stones. I hope you won't push your luck any further."

Fan Ning smiled and put the token on Ling You, nodding, "If the Sect Master hadn't believed the slander, why would Ling You have to suffer such a punishment?"

She didn't know how many times she had been close to him and opened fire.

"If I had a choice, no amount of spirit stones would be better than this never happening..."

Leader: "..."

The headmaster said: "Now that it has been resolved, there is no need to discuss this matter further."

He turned his head to look at the leader of Qingyun Sect, whose face was gradually twisted with frustration, and finally sighed.

"Being too obsessed is not beneficial," the headmaster said vaguely, "...there are already enough precedents."

The leader of the Qingyun Sect was not grateful. "So what? Cultivators are supposed to go against the will of heaven. If I give up even trying... what kind of master would I be?"

He spoke the last sentence very softly, even his tone was deliberately vague, like a murmur under the wind and snow, small and fragile, and the moment it came out of his mouth, it was drowned out by the sound of thicker snow.

But this is enough to make Fan Ning, who had already made some speculations, launch the cause and effect.

She narrowed her eyes and suddenly asked the Qingyun Sect's leader, who was about to leave, "What is a genius in your mind?"

The figure paused for just the time it took for a gust of wind to blow, and did not answer.

-

The next day, Fan Ning openly took the pill and appeared in male form.

The road outside Wangchun Tower was in a mess, as if someone had fought there, and the leaves growing nearby were splashed with some dried blood.

Thanks to Jian Zun's friendly help, they returned much faster than expected.

Not only was he not caught and exposed, he also wandered around a few times and found a Qingyun Sect disciple lying on the side of the road with a look of surprise.

He woke the person up in a few seconds and started asking a series of questions without waiting for the other person to speak.

"What's wrong with you? Were you attacked?" Fan Ning was worried. "Where are the herbs you were promised? You're not going to say they were 'stolen', are you?"

The Qingyun Sect disciple, whose face was still half covered in blood, said: "..."

Jiang Biehe continued, "I just asked Miss Qin to inquire about it. She said that the house chosen by Qingyun Sect was burned down."

Ling You smacked his lips: "If we had moved in earlier..."

"It will be burned to ashes," Fan Ning sighed and slowly straightened up. "It's so full of malice."
