Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

Chapter 157 Taking off the mask means being bound for life

Lan Wangji thought to himself that Jiang Cheng suspected Xuanyuan Yue was Wei Ying, but he wasn't sure and wanted to test him. Lan Wangji couldn't help but feel a sense of irony. If he hadn't already known Xuanyuan Yue was Wei Ying, he'd probably only have suspected, not been certain. In his previous life, Wei Ying always presented himself as a cheerful and lively persona, a mask and suppression of his true feelings. He couldn't show any sadness in front of the Jiang family, or he would be subjected to verbal abuse and insults. But in this life, Wei Ying exuded confidence, elegance, and grace.

If Chaoyang understood Lan Wangji's thoughts, he would surely be unable to suppress his admiration. Throughout his life, Wei Ying has been treated like a treasure by Chaoyang. From clothes to food, to daily necessities, all of them are top-notch choices. Those are rare items that would cause fierce competition in Chaoyang's original world of cultivation.

Take the mask worn by Wei Ying for example. Although it is said that it cannot be used by people who are not destined to be together, that is not just talk. As long as someone takes off the mask, the mask will turn into the masked person's favorite flower and be engraved on the souls of the two people. Once bound, they will be bound together for life. This is why Lan Xichen was shocked when he took off the Chaoyang mask.

Furthermore, the mask contained the power of rules, which not only concealed the aura and appearance, but even if the body was destroyed, as long as the soul remained, it could be reshaped by the power of rules within the mask. However, to break through the mask's inherent defenses and destroy the body, one would need to be at least a god, or a god with divine power.

So is this mask considered a rare item?

The first time Jiang Cheng saw Lan Wangji after the Jiang family incident, he suspected that Lan Wangji had recovered his memory a long time ago, but did not remind the Jiang family of the disaster. After all, Lan Wangji's attitude towards him now is very similar to his attitude of ignoring him after knowing the truth in his previous life.

But Jiang Cheng remembered that in this life, without Wei Ying, Lan Wangji treated everyone the same way, and he began to wonder if he had made a mistake. If Lan Wangji had remembered it long ago, how could the Cloud Recesses have been in trouble? And if he hadn't told anyone, it wouldn't have benefited the Lan family either!

But Jiang Cheng still couldn't help asking, "I heard that Wen Qing's lineage from the Yiling Supervisory Office disappeared. What do you think, Second Young Master Lan?" After Jiang Cheng recovered his memory, he went to Yiling to find Wen Qing and the others, but as soon as he arrived in Yiling, he heard that Wen Qing's lineage from the Yiling Supervisory Office had passed away a year ago.

Lan Wangji glanced at him expressionlessly and replied simply, "Not much!" He was well aware of this matter. Recalling Wen Qing's assistance to Wei Ying, Lan Wangji had immediately gone to Yiling to find Wen Qing and her companions, intending to persuade them to retreat into seclusion. However, when he learned that Wen Qing and her companions had already left, he presumed that this matter must be related to the Xuanyuan Sect Master and did not pursue the matter further.

Thinking of Wen Qing and the others, Lan Wangji couldn't help but feel worried about Wei Ying's current situation. But then he realized that with Wei Ying's current level of cultivation, even Wen Ruohan, a cultivator, would have difficulty harming him, so there was no need to worry too much. Instead of worrying about Wei Ying, Jiang Wanyin should focus more on herself. Thinking of this, he sneered inwardly, ignored her, and left.

Jin Zixuan watched them talking back and forth without knowing what to say, but he was full of disgust towards Jiang Wanyin. He glanced at him and said nothing before leaving. It would be better for him not to have anything to do with such people. They were like mad dogs, and who knows when they might bite him!

Jiang Cheng watched Jin Zixuan and Lan Wangji turn around and leave. Lan Wangji was fine, but Jin Zixuan, as his future brother-in-law, actually had such an attitude. He felt secretly resentful and thought that he would regret it one day. He snorted coldly and left!

The Sun Shooting Campaign was in full swing outside, but inside Chuchen Mountain, there was indeed peace and busyness.

In the pharmacy, Wen Qing, Wen Ning, Meng Yao, Xue Yang, Wei Ying, Fen Hua, and the others were busy. Some were carefully selecting and preparing herbs, while others were intently brewing medicine and making pills. Everyone was at their post, working with complete concentration, and the entire pharmacy was filled with a tense yet orderly atmosphere.

Xue Yang finally felt exhausted. He put down the herbs in his hand and lay down on the straw mat beside him, complaining, "Sister, I'm really tired! When will this work be over? I'm almost being marinated by the flavor of these herbs."

Seeing this scene, Wen Qing snorted coldly, and then said: "The last bit of work is almost done. After it is completed, we can send these medicines to the epidemic area."

Although Wen Ning was usually a man of few words, he nodded in agreement. His hands never stopped working, busily processing the herbs. His concentration and diligence brought a sense of tranquility to the entire pharmacy.

Meng Yao said with a hint of worry, "I wonder how my uncle is doing in the epidemic area?"

Wei Ying responded while busying himself: "My uncle should be fine, but I'm afraid it's hard to say about the ordinary people."

Fen Hua said indignantly, "I don't know what those immortal sects are thinking. If they want to fight, then they should do it openly and honestly. Don't harm innocent people. The corpses left everywhere are causing many innocent people to be infected with the disease."

Meng Yao and Xue Yang sneered: "In the eyes of the immortal families, the lives of ordinary people are not lives, so they don't care."

At this time, Wen Qing interrupted the conversation and said, "Stop talking, we have to finish the work at hand and then go to rest. The leader has already said that he will take us out tomorrow."

Hearing this, Wei Ying took the herbs in his hand and quickly walked to Wen Qing, asking excitedly: "Sister Qing, is this true? Did my uncle really say that?" Even the other people pricked up their ears to listen.

Nodded tenderly: "Yeah"

"(^-^)V" Hearing the answer he wanted, Wei Ying jumped back to his original position and continued to brew the pills. When the others heard this, they couldn't help but speed up their actions. It was really because they had been trapped in the mountain for too long.

Downstream of the Yunmeng River, nestled at a bend in the river, stood a small town. Tragically, due to its unique location, it was surrounded by a vast mass of corpses. Due to improper handling of the bodies, an epidemic quickly spread throughout the town. Faced with this dire situation, the immortals, fearing the spread of the disease, took the drastic measure of sealing off the entire town. They offered no aid, leaving the inhabitants to fend for themselves. Had Chaoyang not arrived in time, the town would have been reduced to a dead city.

As usual, Chaoyang led his disciples and ministers to inspect the people's situation, with specific instructions: Any bodies found must be burned immediately. When asked why Chaoyang didn't resort to magic, he explained that while he could offer assistance once, he couldn't do so forever. The people must understand and master the appropriate procedures for future encounters.
