Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

This inn was opened by Meng Yao after he was forced to do so after accepting the sect's business. Meng Yao even scolded Chaoyang for this. After all, who would have thought that the expenses of a sect with more than a dozen people were all based on the sect's previous capital.

Although Chaoyang said he wasn't short of money, Meng Yao felt this wasn't a long-term solution. So, she started a business under the sect's name, which brought her a lucrative profit. Since then, Chaoyang has never again paid for the sect's expenses.

At noon, the streets of Caiyi Town were bustling with activity. The four entered the inn, which was adorned with antique decor, imbued with the charm of a Jiangnan water town. Upon seeing the familiar blue, patterned masks on their faces, the innkeeper immediately approached them, smiling broadly. "Master and three gentlemen, thank you for your hard work. Please come in. Your rooms are ready."

The familiar rosa dasyphylla pattern on the mask and the red spider lily embroidered on the garments made it recognizable. The red spider lily is the emblem of the Xuanyuan clan, a family of exorcists, while the rosa dasyphylla is Chaoyang's favorite flower. All of Guiyuan Sect's businesses have always used the rosa dasyphylla as their symbol. So, how could an innkeeper under the Guiyuan Sect's name not recognize their own insignia? Furthermore, word had already reached the sect that the young master and three other young masters would be attending the Lan Clan to study.

The innkeeper respectfully led the four people to the private room on the second floor. The room was elegantly and comfortably decorated, with a gurgling stream outside the window, creating a picturesque scene.

"Young master, do you need anything?" the innkeeper asked respectfully.

"First, prepare a sumptuous meal for us, and then give us a pot of good wine." Wei Ying replied with a smile, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, "We have come all the way here, and we are hungry."

"Okay, young master, I'll arrange it right away." The innkeeper nodded in agreement, turned around and left quickly.

"Finally, I can take off the mask." Wei Ying said impatiently when he saw people leaving, reaching out to take off the mask on his face.

"Wait!" Meng Yao stopped him in time, "We need to eat something first. It's not too late to pick it after we're sure it's safe."

Wei Ying shrugged helplessly and had to put his hand down.

Xue Yang looked around and nodded with satisfaction: "The layout of this inn is indeed nice. It seems that your business is doing well, Ayao."

"Of course. Ever since A Yao started his business, Guiyuan Sect's finances have all been taken care of by A Yao. But my uncle always says that he can't spend his money." Fen Hua's voice sounded in Meng Yao's ears with a hint of ridicule.

Meng Yao smiled slightly, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes: "The expenses of Guiyuan Sect cannot be borne by my uncle alone. As a member of the sect, I naturally have to do my part to contribute to its prosperity."

"Ayao, your business methods are really admirable." Wei Ying smiled and patted Meng Yao's shoulder.

"Okay, stop praising me. You guys take a rest first. I'll go see how the food is prepared." Meng Yao said, then turned and walked downstairs.

Wei Ying and Xue Yang chatted in the room, discussing the upcoming Lan Clan study tour. Fen Hua sat quietly to the side, occasionally interjecting a word or two. He was a calm and composed person, unlike Wei Ying and Xue Yang who were so lively.

Soon, the food and wine were served, and the four of them sat around the table, enjoying this long-awaited sumptuous dinner. The gurgling stream outside the window echoed the laughter and chatter inside, as if even time had become gentler.

"Ayao, the food in your inn is also amazing, better than the restaurants outside. But why does the taste seem familiar to me?" Wei Ying praised the food while tasting it.

"That's because these dishes are cooked according to the recipes I asked my uncle for." Meng Yao explained with a smile.

"I see. No wonder it tastes so good." Xue Yang nodded with satisfaction.

After eating and drinking, the four of them returned to their rooms to rest. As soon as Wei Ying entered the room, he couldn't wait to throw himself on the bed, stretching his limbs and exclaiming, "This bed is so soft! I guess I can have a good sleep tonight."

Meng Yao began to pack his bag and took out a few scriptures, ready to read in his spare time. Xue Yang looked around the room, seemed a little bored, and left immediately!

Fen Hua stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, secretly looking forward to the upcoming study life.

As night fell, the lights of Caiyi Town gradually lit up, and the inn was filled with the aroma of food. The four of them, well rested, gathered in an elegant private room, ordered a few local specialties, and chatted while they ate.

"Aying, I went out to ask around this afternoon. It is said that the Gusu Lan Clan has more than 3,000 family rules. What should we do? We still have to study here for half a year!" Xue Yang had a look of despair on his face, leaning weakly on Wei Ying.

"Three thousand family rules? Isn't that more than our sect's rules?" Wei Ying raised an eyebrow and said jokingly, "But, Yangyang, what are you afraid of? This isn't our first time venturing into the martial arts world. These few rules won't be a problem for us."

Fen Hua smiled slightly and said calmly, "The fact that there are so many rules shows that the Lan family is very strict. We can take this opportunity to learn something new."

Meng Yao nodded in agreement: "Yes, more rules also mean better order. As long as we follow them, there won't be any major problems."

Xue Yang curled his lips and said, "That's because you don't know how outrageous the Lan family rules are."

Hearing this, Wei Ying couldn't help but ask curiously, "Ayang, how exaggerated is this rule?"

"Aying, I've inquired about their family rules. They say they only allow three bowls of rice, they forbid running, they forbid loud noises, and so on. In short, they're quite diverse. You'll understand when you go and see for yourself later."

Xue Yang shook his head as he spoke, as if those rules were an unbearable yoke for him. Wei Ying couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. He had always been a casual person, and he didn't care about these trivial rules.

Because of this, I ended up bringing trouble upon myself, but why didn't I get what I wanted?

"Yangyang, it looks like your temper needs some hard work," Wei Ying teased. "But I'm really looking forward to seeing just how bizarre the Lan family's rules are."

"We should be careful and adapt to the situation when the time comes!" Wei Ying had no choice but to do this. It was not his own home and he could not change it.

At the end, Meng Yao earnestly instructed: "When you leave this place, you must change your address. Don't make any mistakes."

Wei Ying pointed at himself and said, "Xuanyuan Yue."

He pointed at Meng Yao again, "Xuanyuan Neck."

Ayang "Xuanyuan Yin."

Ah Hua "Xuanyuan Fen"

right?

Meng Yao shook her head helplessly and smiled, "That's right. But remember, from now on, we are no longer Wei Ying, Meng Yao, Xue Yang, and Fen Hua, but Xuanyuan Yue, Xuanyuan Jing, Xuanyuan Yin, and Xuanyuan Fen of the Xuanyuan Family."

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) shrugged and said with a nonchalant smile, "I understand, A-Jiang."

"Alright, everyone knows who we are now. We need to act our parts well and not reveal any flaws," Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) warned, a hint of seriousness in his tone. Otherwise, Uncle Chaoyang would be furious. This threat was the only option. After all, they (Wei Ying and Xue Yang) were fearless, except for Uncle Chaoyang's anger.

"I really don't know why my uncle asked us to use pseudonyms. It's so troublesome!!!" Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) complained, obviously not satisfied with this arrangement.

"Uncle has his reasons for doing this, we just have to obey."

"Okay, stop complaining. Now that everyone knows what's going on, let's go to bed early. We have to get up early tomorrow to go to the Lan family." Meng Yao (Xuanyuan Neck) reminded.

They all returned to their rooms to rest, preparing to head to the Lan Clan for lessons the next morning. Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) lay in bed, tossing and turning, his heart filled with anticipation for the unknown and disdain for the rules. He muttered to himself, "Three thousand family rules? I want to see what the Lan Clan can do to me."
