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

Ling You's words were like stirring up a hornet's nest. In the end, he had to persuade the two demon cultivators who were almost in tears to leave.

The wind among the trees suddenly became cold.

Fan Ning was thinking about something in her mind, but it didn't show on her face at all. She just released another pair of "sisters" together.

The consciousness named Yan Luo still resides in Jiang Yunsheng's body, but when she appears, the look she gives to her other self has become much softer.

"Thank you for helping me. I'm sorry I've caused you so much trouble."

Jiang Yunsheng's expression softened and she looked more like the well-mannered genius who was once rumored to be so. She was still smiling, but the sadness in her eyes could not be wiped away.

"Now, what should I call you?"

"Just call me Jiang Yunsheng," she smiled, gently hooking the hand of the soul next to her, as if touching ice and snow in March, her eyes gradually cleared up, "Yan Luo...is no longer my name."

“…Hello.”

The soul whose hand was hooked next to him was a little timid, as if he had done something wrong, and his eyes were always fixed on the person next to him without moving away.

"Have you decided to take her with you?" Fan Ning asked.

Jiang Yunsheng was frank at this time and said, "She was born because of us. I can't turn a blind eye to it."

Having said this, she lowered her eyes again and sighed softly, "At least... before she can get rid of the name 'Yan Luo', I can't and shouldn't abandon her."

No one understood better than her how much suffering the person left behind would endure.

"Sister," the being named Yan Luo raised the corners of his mouth carefully. Although he was an image of a cat demon, his eyes were purer and more innocent than a passing cloud. As he approached Jiang Yunsheng cautiously, he looked like a young swallow that had not yet traveled far.

Ling You glanced at the slightly strange and gentle duo calmly.

The moment the cat demon looked over, he felt something falling on his body begin to tremble slightly.

"Go towards the Abyss of Monsters. She has used the Nine-petaled Demonic Lotus and her aura is also contaminated. Add to that your soul... The Demon King will not turn you away."

"He can be considered gentle."

"You'd better leave early. If you stay here..." Fan Ning added calmly, "you might soon be visited by the vengeful Qingyun Sect's leader."

"He stumbled more than once this time."

Jiang Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that she would still point out a clear path for him today.

She did not answer immediately, but just looked at her hand clasped with her soul, as if she was drawing some strength from this gaze.

After a long moment, she responded uncomfortably, mumbling a "thank you".

"The leader of the Qingyun Sect wants the sacred tree, and I want the nine-petal demon lotus. This was our original deal."

Jiang Yunsheng lowered his head, seeming to find it difficult to speak, but he continued speaking.

"I've investigated, and he did this... for his apprentice."

"Need a disciple of Shenmu?" Fan Ning pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "It must be a genius who has gone astray."

"Is his talent even comparable to Gu Yuanzhou's?"

"More than that," Jiang Yunsheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled.

She said, "That person's talent is even greater than Gu Yuanzhou's. He was once the disciple that the Qingyun Sect's Sect Master had the highest hopes for. He stayed in the sect all year round and rarely went out. This is all we can find out."

"...Then, she became possessed and stopped practicing."

"After that, Qingyun Sect dealt with a group of people. No one knows what happened in between."

"A genius?" Ling You was shocked by this sudden information, his expression a little serious, "...or a genius that the Sect Master would do everything in his power to save."

Jiang Yunsheng nodded, thinking about the scene he had witnessed before, with a sigh on his face, he said, "That's all I know."

After saying that, he couldn't help but remind him: "He won't give up easily."

Fan Ning blinked, but his face still had that calm expression that shouldn't exist in such a scene.

"This is not a coincidence. I don't intend to let it go easily."

Ling You: "...No, what are you thinking about now?"

"If I'm always so easy to bully, people who come to try to scam me will definitely break down my door—" Fan Ning dragged out his words and muttered unhappily, "This is such a waste of time!"

Ling You doubted his ears a little, but he couldn't help asking, "You are easy to bully...?"

who said it?

Are his ears finally going to fail?

The pronunciation of the three words "easy to bully" gradually became unfamiliar in his ears.

"What else?" Fan Ning gave him a sullen look, then suddenly pinched his chin in thought, "I don't know if they did what I said... Such a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation doesn't always come around."

Ling You: “…”

He realized that something was happening that he was completely unaware of.

"Wait, you mean—"

Before he could finish his words, a sleek and graceful crane flew up.

Ling You was forced to swallow the words he had not yet finished speaking, and then he saw the crane take out a letter from under its claws.

"Well, it's just in time."

Fan Ning waved in the direction of the two sisters, pointed to the east, sent them away, and then sat cross-legged on a huge rock covered with fallen leaves next to him.

A pair of long legs are bent and the expression looks very intriguing.

Ling You leaned forward to take a look, and his expression changed in an instant.

"What do you mean by 'stealing the Jiang family's resources'?" He suspected he couldn't read. He glanced at the signature and realized where the letter came from. He smacked his lips in amazement. "Does our Yueli Sect have the ability to compete with the Qingyun Sect for refining materials?"

"How can it be--"

Fan Ning wasn't at all fooled by the prosperity before him, and said bluntly, "It's just that the rumors about the Qingyun Sect and Jiang Yunsheng were spreading like wildfire. The Jiang family and the Qingyun Sect were fighting, and we just happened to take advantage of this opportunity."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the robbery won't last long."

Ling You was still surprised, but he quickly accepted the reality and asked Fan Ning, "If it worked this time, how long will it take for the next one to happen?"

After saying this, he felt difficult again and sighed, "As far as I know, the difference in weapon-refining talent between the two sects is still..."

He didn't finish his words, but the reality was far more cruel than what he said.

Equipment refining is something that relies heavily on talent. No matter how good the external conditions are, it will be useless if one cannot keep up.

"But there are only a few top-tier weapon refiners," Fan Ning had a different opinion. After briefly replying to the letter, she bluntly stated, "The majority of people are below genius. What they seek from the beginning isn't the top-tier weapon refiners' magical tools."

"Isn't this great? The gap between the two sects is already set in stone. There's no point in hoping for talent."

Fan Ning said confidently, "What's more, my helpers will be here soon."
