Qing Hengjun was helpless, knowing that Wei Wuxian was joking with him, so he could only look at Lan Xichen. After all, he knew very little about this Young Master Wei, whether in his past life or this life, so he decided to let Xichen handle it!

Lan Xichen's face showed obvious embarrassment, and his heart was filled with worry and fear, because he knew very well that once Chaoyang found out that he had embarrassed Wei Ying, the consequences would be unimaginable. This was undoubtedly a huge pressure on him.

Lan Xichen's gaze unconsciously turned to Lan Wangji, hoping that Wangji would help him out. However, Lan Wangji seemed to have anticipated this. As soon as he caught Lan Xichen's gaze, he immediately turned his head away, avoiding eye contact, as if silently expressing his position and attitude.

Lan Xichen saw that Lan Wangji remained indifferent and showed no signs of taking any action. Faced with this situation, Lan Xichen felt that he had no choice. He couldn't let the Jin and Jiang families speak first, as that would only make them more passive.

So, Lan Xichen, feeling uneasy and perturbed, bravely asked, "I wonder what important matter has Master Wei gone out on this trip?"

Wei WuXian adjusted himself to a comfortable position, resting his chin on his hand as he continued to talk: "My fellow apprentices and I have just finished our closed-door training. This time we are going out to travel around and visit old friends."

Everyone looked at each other, unwilling to believe it. Junior brothers? Who? Jin Guangyao? Xue Yang?!

Then Wei Ying smiled and said something big, pointing in the direction of Meng Yao and Xue Yang, "Second Junior Brother Xuanyuan Jin" and "Fourth Junior Brother Xuanyuan Yin"

Although everyone already knew that Wei Ying was Xuanyuan Yue, they were still shocked by "Second Junior Brother Xuanyuan Jin" and "Fourth Junior Brother Xuanyuan Yin".

Even Lan Xichen choked and cleared his throat, "Junior brother?"

Wei Ying nodded: "Yes, my two junior brothers."

Jiang Cheng's gaze lingered on Wei Wuxian for a long moment. He finally couldn't suppress his inner dissatisfaction and ridicule anymore, and sneered at Wei Wuxian, "Becoming your junior apprentice to your enemy? Wei Wuxian, you're really going backwards!"

Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Wei Wuxian's lips curled up slightly, and a sly look flashed in his eyes. "Oh, I finally can't help it!" He deliberately raised the corner of his eye and asked in a light-hearted and playful tone, "Enemy? Who are you talking about?"

After saying that, Wei Ying thought to himself, if we talk about enemies, you, Jiang Cheng, are his biggest enemy.

Jiang Cheng stood up angrily, pointing his finger at Jin Guangyao and demanding, "Who else could it be? Why, Jin Guangyao, after being reborn, you can't even speak anymore? Weren't you eloquent in your previous life? Why are you so silent now?"

Meng Yao smiled faintly, looked at Jiang Cheng calmly, and asked, "My name is Meng Yao. Who is this young master you are talking about?"

Jiang Cheng was half-believing and half-doubting, and angrily scolded, "Jin Guangyao, stop pretending to be innocent. You assisted Jin Guangshan in committing so many evil things, and you still want to shirk responsibility? Do you think we will believe you?"

Wei Wuxian couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing Jiang Cheng's words. He said with a hint of joking, "Young Master Jiang, I really can't believe that my junior brother, who grew up with me and is as close as a brother, would quietly change his name. You need to explain this to me, or Aunt Meng will be in a rage when we get back to the sect. My own child changed his name, and my own mother was completely unaware of it. What a mess this is."

Meng Yao nearly choked on Wei Wuxian's words, swallowing hard to calm herself down. She feigned grievance and said to him, "Brother, you're wrong about me. I just found out today that I changed my name. You can't tell my mother, or I'll get a beating when I get back."

Xue Yang rolled his eyes and quietly watched the show. He casually picked up a candy and put it in his mouth, as if to say, "You guys continue, I'll just watch the show..."

Jiang Cheng didn't explode when he heard this, but Jin Guangshan, who was listening at the side, exploded first. "What did you say? Why hasn't your mother..." Jin Guangshan was the last one to die. He couldn't spit it out because there was a sword on his neck. "What did you say?"

Jin Guangshan turned his head and cast his gaze upon the boy who had just been leisurely savoring his candy. In the blink of an eye, the boy's sword had silently been placed on his neck. Faced with this sudden threat, Jin Guangshan felt an indescribable fear and dissatisfaction.

Although Jin Guangshan was filled with fear and dissatisfaction, he tried his best to remain calm and asked, "Xue Yang, what do you mean?"

In Xue Yang's heart, no matter how the outside world evaluates him, no matter what people think and say about him, he can accept it, and even face some negative comments calmly. However, there is one thing he absolutely cannot tolerate, and that is any disrespect to Aunt Meng. Deep in Xue Yang's heart, Aunt Meng's status is sacred and inviolable. She has long become the mother figure in his mind.

From childhood to adulthood, apart from his uncle, grandmother and fellow apprentices, Aunt Meng was the one who treated him best. How dare he speak dirty words about Aunt Meng? Did he think she was dead?

Everyone present had not yet recovered from what had just happened. They stood there in a daze, looking a little confused.

Even Wei Wuxian and Meng Yao were stunned by Xue Yang's move and were about to speak.

It was Jin Zixuan who reacted first. Seeing his father being held at swordpoint, he anxiously shouted, "Xuanyuan Yin, what do you want to do? Let my father go!" However, when he saw that Xue Yang had no reaction, he could only turn to Meng Yao and said in a tone of command, "Ayao, please let him let my father go quickly. After all..."

Before Jin Zixuan could finish his words, Meng Yao interrupted him mercilessly: "Shut up!"

Jin Zixuan stared at Meng Yao in disbelief, his heart filled with confusion and bewilderment. He hadn't expected Meng Yao to yell at him; this action completely exceeded his expectations. Because in Jin Zixuan's heart, Meng Yao had always been gentle, and her words were always full of tenderness.

Meng Yao's face lost its usual gentleness, replaced by a serious and resolute expression. Meng Yao stood up and took Xue Yang's sword from Jin Guangshan's neck, saying softly, "Ayang, it's not worth it."

Then he turned to Jin Guangshan, his tone as cold as frost: "Master Jin, I respect you as the master, but you can't curse my mother. You must give me an explanation for what happened today. Although I, Meng Yao, don't have a good family background, you can't treat me like this?" His eyes were sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts, making everyone present feel an invisible pressure.

Although the threat was resolved, Jin Guangshan was speechless when faced with Meng Yao's questioning, not knowing how to respond. Jin Guangshan wondered, he had clearly arranged everything, so why was Meng Shi still alive? In his previous life, Jin Guangshan's arrangements had indeed been perfect, and Meng Shi had indeed been imprisoned and tortured to death in the brothel, but in this life, she had long been taken away by Chaoyang, and his plan had naturally failed.

After all, money makes the world go round, and there are always countermeasures for every policy!

Meng Yao's sudden transformation shocked everyone. They had never seen Meng Yao so cold and ruthless.

Jin Zixuan was even more unbelievable. He had never thought that Meng Yao's mother was still alive in this life.
