Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, the Lan family members angrily shouted, "Jiang Wanyin, what are your intentions behind these words?"

Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji followed suit, their swords drawn together, pointed directly at Jiang Cheng. Lan Qiren frowned upon seeing this, sighing inwardly that now was not the time for internal strife. Slowly standing, Lan Qiren gestured for Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji to sheathe their swords. His tone was calm yet carried an undeniable authority: "Master Jiang, your words have gone too far. If it happens again, you can test the swiftness of our Lan Clan swords."

"You..." Jiang Cheng was about to say something, but looking at Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji behind Lan Qiren, Jiang Cheng seemed to realize something in an instant, and the words he was about to say were suddenly swallowed back into his stomach.

Everyone present admired Jiang Cheng's audacity. Did he still think he was the high and mighty Jiang Cheng, Sect Leader of the Jiang Clan, from his previous life? Without Wei Wuxian, he was nothing.

Lan Qiren looked at the others, eager to get to the bottom of the matter. He knew they wouldn't let the Lan family off unless he told them. He then explained, "When the Xuanyuans were studying at the Lan family, the gift they received was a resurrection pill. It was this pill that saved my brother."

Lan Qiren looked at the many students who he thought were both virtuous and academically excellent in his previous life, and closed his eyes wearily. He then thought of how he had been burdened by the rumors and gossip in his previous life, as well as the many schemes of the Jin family. He had misunderstood that Wei Wuxian had made a big mistake and had said many bad things about him.

However, in reality, Wei Ying was not only gifted, but also possessed a unique character. He couldn't help but ask himself why he had been so blind in his previous life, listening to only one side of the story. He was truly blinded by a single leaf.

After hearing Lan Qiren's explanation, everyone put aside their doubts.

They also apologized to the Lan family. They also wanted to ask the Lan family to help stop the Wen family. They couldn't be as stupid as Jiang Cheng and offend the Lan family.

Nie Mingjue was surprised to hear that Xuanyuan Yue might be Wei Ying. Although he understood the truth of his past life and deeply respected Wei Wuxian's qualities, he still had reservations about practicing the ghost way. However, when he thought about the young Wei Wuxian in this life who had been able to purify the Water Abyss four years ago, Nie Mingjue couldn't help but sigh, "This Wei Wuxian is truly a gifted man!"

Nie Mingjue's praise of Wei Wuxian left Jiang Cheng with mixed feelings. He couldn't help but wonder how Wei Wuxian could have excelled even without the Jiang family's support. At the same time, Jiang Cheng felt a wave of annoyance and unhappiness as he thought of his rescued parents, whose whereabouts he couldn't find no matter how hard he tried.

Feeling aggrieved and emotional, Jiang Cheng blurted out, "He's just the son of a family servant. No matter how powerful he is, he can't help us and participate in the Sun Shooting Campaign!"

"Jiang Wanyin, be careful with your words!" Lan Wangji could no longer bear it when he heard someone insulting the person he loved, and an angry expression appeared on his face.

Jiang Cheng quickly retorted, "Lan Wangji, am I wrong? Wei Wuxian is the son of a family servant, so what right do you have to accuse me? If you have the ability, you should call Wei Wuxian out!"

Lan Wangji clenched his fists, his eyes as cold as ice, "Jiang Wanyin, you..."

At this time, Lan Qiren interrupted and said, "Master Jiang, I remember that Wei Changze was a casual cultivator. He was only invited by your father Jiang Fengmian to help the Jiang family. How come he is now a servant of the Jiang family?"

Since regaining his memory, Jiang Cheng has been unhappy with everything he does. Hearing nothing but praise for Wei Wuxian, and thinking that without Wei Wuxian, he couldn't even reclaim the Lotus Pier, he became irritable and began to speak without thinking, "Who knows if what you said is true? If you say he's not a servant, then he's not a servant. My mother said Wei Wuxian is a servant, so he is a servant."

After Jiang Yanli regained her memory and learned the truth, her heart was already filled with sorrow. When she heard her brother Jiang Cheng's words, she hurriedly tugged on his sleeve, reminding him that the Jiang family had lost Ah Xian in this life and had become a target of public criticism. He must be careful with his words... otherwise, the Jiang family's future would be ruined.

But how could Jiang Yanli stop Jiang Cheng, who still had the arrogance of his previous life? He even said all the words that Yu Ziyuan often said, including all the insults.

Lan Qiren took a deep breath. Despite the constant rumors from his past and present lives, he still felt absurd when all this was actually before him. Cangse was not only his old friend, but Wei Wuxian was also the person his nephew loved.

"Jiang Wanyin, be kind in your words, yet you wantonly slander a dead person. Is this the upbringing of your Jiang family?"

Before Jiang Wanyin could respond, she was completely overcome by the pain and fell to her knees on the ground in agony, with blood pouring from her mouth. This movement scared everyone present and they all stayed away, fearing that the Jiang family would try to scam her. But no one noticed that Nie Huaisang, who was holding the folding fan behind Nie Mingjue, moved his hands, except Lan Wangji.

After all, how could Lan Wangji easily forget Nie Huaisang, a man more skilled at disguise than Jin Guangyao? Even knowing that Jiang Cheng's plight was Nie Huaisang's fault, Lan Wangji kept the truth secret. Witnessing Jiang Cheng's agony, Lan Wangji's impassive expression concealed a barely concealed pleasure. Were it not for the constraints of the Lan family's rules, Lan Wangji might have been even more ruthless than Nie Huaisang.

Why didn't anyone else notice Nie Huaisang? That's because only Lan Wangji and Wei Ying from his previous life knew the truth. Lan Xichen might have guessed it later, but Nie Huaisang's reputation as a loser was so deeply ingrained in everyone's minds that he didn't react immediately.

Jiang Yanli even knelt before Jiang Cheng, hugged her brother, and yelled, "Ah Cheng, what's wrong with you?"

In the end, it was Sect Leader Yu who sent for a doctor. One can imagine the current state of the Jiang family.

But no matter how they checked, they couldn't find anything. After a period of chaos, Jiang Yanli had no choice but to take Jiang Cheng away from the tent.

Before leaving, Jiang Yanli's face flushed red from the mocking gazes of the various families. She knew that Jiang Cheng's reckless words had deeply offended the Lan family. With the current Jiang family, it was impossible for them to resist. She bowed and apologized, "My brother was confused for a moment. Yanli apologizes to the Lan family on behalf of my brother Jiang Cheng."

Jiang Yanli also knew the pros and cons, and knew that no one had any reason to see Jiang Cheng, so she took Jiang Cheng and retreated.

The more Nie Mingjue looked at Jiang Cheng, the more he disliked him, and his dislike for him grew stronger. Recalling Jiang Cheng's despicable and shameless behavior in his past life, Nie Mingjue couldn't help but frown, and in the end, out of sight, out of mind!

Although the various families were aware of Jiang Cheng's ungrateful and opportunistic behavior in his previous life, no one expected that Jiang Cheng in this life would still maintain an unpleasant attitude, causing everyone to whisper and discuss.

Jin Zixuan looked at Jiang Cheng, a mixture of emotions welling up in his heart. He wondered how Jiang Cheng's personality developed, and Jin Zixuan couldn't help but feel fortunate that Ah Li had grown up with such a character in the Jiang family. He was truly fortunate. To ensure he could see his son, Jin Ling, again in the future, Jin Zixuan had no choice but to speak. "Sect Master Nie, Sect Master Lan, and all the family heads, I know my father made many mistakes in the past that led to this disaster. But now, shouldn't we consider countermeasures? Otherwise, if the Sun Shooting Expedition fails, I'm afraid none of us will have a good outcome!"
