An orphan of three or four rarely makes it to seven or eight without help. Furthermore, in the original novel, eight-year-old Xue Yang already knew how to earn food through his own labor, suggesting he was taught this in childhood. It's possible that Xue Yang's later transformation stems from the fact that, when his finger was severed, his closest relatives were harmed in an effort to heal the wound, leading to the idea that a severed finger can destroy kindness. This is, of course, the author's own interpretation.

After Chaoyang brought Wei Ying and others to find Xue Yang in Liyang, they provided free porridge and free medical treatment in Liyang for several days.

It wasn't until the last day that they packed their bags and prepared to return. Xue Yang held Chaoyang's hand tightly, his eyes full of anticipation and excitement.

"Uncle, are we really going home?" Xue Yang raised his little face, his eyes flashing with longing for the future.

Chaoyang smiled and nodded: "Yes, Ayang, we are going home."

"Yes! Ayang, let's go home together." Wei Ying continued.

Xue Yang nodded vigorously, his eyes full of joy.

The group set out on their journey home.

One day, they were having dinner in a restaurant when they suddenly heard someone whisper to the person next to them: "Did you know? The leader of the Nie family was killed by the leader of the Wen family." These words made the atmosphere in the restaurant instantly solemn. Everyone put down their chopsticks, and a hint of uneasiness appeared in their eyes.

"Don't talk about this casually," an old man frowned and reminded in a low voice, "Wen Ruohan's influence is huge. If his people hear about it, our small restaurant will be in trouble."

"Yes," a middle-aged man nearby echoed, "The death of the Nie clan leader is certainly regrettable, but it's best for ordinary people like us to stay out of the grudges and disputes between aristocratic families."

As soon as these words were spoken, the guests in the restaurant nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere gradually returned to calm. Chao Yang and Wei Ying exchanged a glance, their hearts stirring.

Wei Ying whispered to Chaoyang, "Uncle, Huaisang's father passed away!"

Chaoyang nodded slightly, remaining silent. To him, Sect Leader Nie was just a stranger, and even Nie Huaisang was just a child he had rescued.

The Nie family's ignorance of such an obvious false accusation was truly pitiful. He should avoid intervening in the disputes of the aristocratic families, lest he incur trouble and bring humiliation upon himself. Right now, the most important thing for him was to properly care for these four children.

The rest has nothing to do with him.

"Uncle, should we go see Huaisang? I'm a little worried about him." Wei Ying asked, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Chaoyang pondered for a moment, then said, "No, let's go back first. Huaisang should be taken care of by Nie's trusted aides, and the situation is unclear right now. If we go there rashly, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

Wei Ying nodded. Although he was still a little worried, he knew that his uncle's decisions were always carefully considered.

The others heard the conversation between the uncle and nephew and remained silent without interrupting.

The group continued on their journey home.

"Why didn't you remind the Nie family at the beginning?" Chaoyang, who was riding a horse, heard the voice of rules in his mind again.

"You're so free!" Chaoyang's voice was tinged with a hint of sarcasm. "What are you reminding them of? If I remind them once, won't there be another? The death of the Nie clan leader is just the tip of the iceberg of the struggles between the aristocratic families. I don't want to save the aristocratic families of this world; it's simply asking for trouble. Let's leave it to Wei Ying to deal with the mass grave and then to Lei Jie!"

Chaoyang's tone was filled with helplessness. He was well aware of the conflicts and darkness in this world, and he didn't want to get involved. He would rather use his power to help those who truly needed help, rather than those high-ranking aristocratic families.

What about the Lan family!

Chao Yang was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "The Lan family? Anyway, I won't take the initiative to intervene in their affairs now. I will only intervene when Wei Ying gets to know Lan Zhan. Now it's unknown whether the two of them can meet again."

What about Wei Ying? You can't just leave him out of this forever, right?

Chaoyang smiled faintly, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes: "Wei Ying is my most beloved nephew, so I will naturally not let him stay out of this matter. But he must ultimately walk his own path. I will give him support and guidance at critical moments, but I will not interfere too much in his choices."

Aren't you afraid that he might go astray?

Have you forgotten that you suffered so much in your previous life and didn't go astray? Do you think you will in this life? Chaoyang's tone was full of confidence. He knew Wei Ying's tenacity and kindness very well, and believed that he could find his own way in this complicated world.

You are quite relieved. Rules' voice was a little teasing.

Don’t you believe it? Yeah! Chaoyang’s tone was firm and calm.

Also.

Wei Ying and the Lan family member will eventually meet. This cannot be changed. Their fates have long been connected. Guili replied in a bad tone that his son was kidnapped. Isn't Tiandao's son also his son? It's the same anyway.

Even after catching up with the girl, he raised her son as his own.
