Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

"Were you testing me just now?" Chaoyang's voice was filled with a hint of teasing.

[So what?] Rules' voice was a little provocative.

[You old man, you always like to play these tricks.] Chaoyang chuckled, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

"So what? Aren't you enjoying it too?" Rule said in a voice with a hint of pride.

[Okay, okay, I admit that sometimes these little tricks are really fun.] Chaoyang shrugged, a smile flashing in his eyes.

[But, are you really not going to get involved in the Lan family's affairs?] Guizi's voice suddenly became serious.

[Well, not for now.] Chaoyang's tone was firm and calm. [Let the Lan family resolve their own affairs. I'd rather focus on those mortals who truly need help.]

[You are such a stubborn guy.] Rule's voice was filled with helplessness.

[Stubborn? Perhaps, but I simply don't want to be embroiled in endless conflict.] After a thousand years of struggling in the world of cultivation, he was already exhausted. From a peaceful world, suddenly transported to one filled with conflict and conspiracy, perhaps you'll always imagine opening your eyes to be surrounded by corpses, even dismembered, with no end in sight. Chaoyang still can't forget that feeling.

If the master had not passed by, he might have died as soon as he passed through.

"Well, since you're so insistent, I won't say anything more." Rule's voice gradually softened. "However, fortunately, you didn't change Sect Master Nie's fate. His fate had already ended long ago."

【Why? 】

"You know there's something wrong with the Nie family's martial arts, and their ancestral tomb is like a second mass grave. Do you think their fate will be long?"

[So that's how it is. No wonder the Nie family has suffered so many misfortunes.] Upon hearing this, a flicker of understanding crossed Chaoyang's brows, and he sighed softly. [Everything has its own cause and effect; you can't force it.]

Chaoyang sighed softly, then looked into the distance with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Uncle, what are you thinking about?" Wei Ying's voice interrupted Chaoyang's thoughts. He turned to look at Wei Ying, only to see Wei Ying looking at him curiously, with countless stars seeming to be hidden in those bright eyes.

Chaoyang smiled slightly, shook his head gently, and said, "Nothing, just thinking about something." He did not want to tell Wei Ying about the complicated entanglements of the aristocratic family. After all, these were too heavy for him.

“Oh.” Wei Ying nodded, seemingly not asking further questions, but changing the subject, “Uncle, does Ayang also want to take a medicinal bath like us?”

"Yes." Chaoyang answered gently, his eyes full of doting. "Although Ah Yang is young, he has a weak constitution. Taking a medicinal bath will be of great benefit to him. I will prepare a special prescription for him to ensure that he can grow up healthily."

"That's great!" A hint of joy flashed in Wei Ying's eyes.

After learning the news, Wei Ying quickly returned to the carriage and conveyed the good news to Ayang.

Inside the carriage, Xue Yang, who had already heard the conversation, was beaming with joy. A brilliant smile suddenly spread across his face, his dark, shiny eyes sparkling with excitement. He tugged at Wei Ying's sleeve and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Wei Ying, and thank you, Uncle! I'm so happy to be able to take a medicinal bath with everyone."

"Of course, Ayang is our little baby. We will do our best to let you grow up healthy and happy." Wei Ying touched Xue Yang's head lovingly, his eyes full of tenderness and love.

The group continued on their way, the wheels rolling and the clatter of horses' hooves creating a particularly harmonious atmosphere in this quiet afternoon. Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, casting dappled shadows and adding a touch of warmth and tranquility to the journey home.
