Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

The next morning, the four of them got up early, packed their bags, and prepared to go to the Lan Clan to attend classes. Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) carefully checked everyone's clothing to ensure that they were in accordance with the Lan Clan's rules.

"Ayue, Ayin, you two should be careful when you arrive at the Lan family. Don't treat the Lan family rules as a joke." Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) reminded.

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) smiled and waved his hands, saying nonchalantly, "Ajing, don't worry, I will behave properly this time."

However, Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) knows Wei Ying's character very well. His bright eyes flicker with a hint of helpless smile, but also reveal a bit of trust. He knows that although Wei Ying seems unruly on the surface, deep down he has his own principles and bottom line.

"Ajing, don't worry! I won't leave a bad impression on the Lan family on the first day." Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) answered with a smile. He is always so optimistic and cheerful.

"Okay, are you all packed?" Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) confirmed again.

"Everything is packed, A'yao." Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) and Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) answered in unison.

"Then let's go." Xuanyuan Fen (Fen Hua) waved his hand and continued.

The morning in Caiyi Town was a little chilly, but the rising sun cast a golden glow, heralding a new day full of hope.

The four of them walked along the streets of Caiyi Town, heading towards the Lan Clan's main gate. From a distance, the Lan Clan's main gate was majestic and imposing, its massive stone pillars intricately carved with cloud patterns, as if recounting the glorious history of this ancient sect. On either side of the gate, two rows of disciples dressed in Lan Clan attire stood in awe, their gazes sharp and solemn.

"It seems that the rules of the Lan family are not just talk." Xuanyuan Fen (Fen Hua) said in a low voice, with a hint of respect in his eyes.

"Well, just be careful. Let's go and visit Mr. Lan and Sect Master Lan first." Xuanyuan Neck (Meng Yao)

Nodded in agreement with Xuanyuan Fen (Fen Hua)'s words.

"Okay, I'll try my best, but you have to protect me when the time comes!" Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) agreed helplessly.

However, before the four of them approached the mountain gate, they heard a quarrel.

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) and Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) exchanged a smile, their eyes gleaming with excitement as they quickly headed towards the mountain gate. There, they witnessed a figure dressed in purple attire embroidered with lotus patterns arguing with disciples of the Gusu Lan Clan. Clearly, the instigator of the argument was the purple-clad figure, who was speaking to himself, uncontrollably and at length.

The man spoke fiercely, seeming quite dissatisfied with some of the Lan Clan's rules. His voice echoed in the morning air, attracting many disciples to stop and watch.

"They are from the Yunmeng Jiang clan." Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) whispered in front of Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying).

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) naturally knew that they were from the Yunmeng Jiang Clan. He clenched his fists and stared at everyone from the Yunmeng Jiang Clan with a cold gaze.

Even Xuanyuan Fen (Fen Hua), who usually appears gentle, has a sharp look at this moment.

"Ayue, don't worry. We're here and won't let them go." Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang), Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao), and Xuanyuan Fen (Fen Hua) all knew that Xuanyuan Yue's (Wei Ying) parents were murdered by Jiang Fengmian of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan. Even Afen suffered such severe injuries as a child and had her memories erased. It was all the Jiang Clan's doing, and they held an irreconcilable feud with them.

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He knew now was not the time to act rashly; they had more important things to do. He nodded, signaling to Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) and the others to rest assured.

The four of them watched the dispute unfolding in silence. The Yunmeng Jiang clan had accidentally lost their visiting card and was attempting to explain this to the Gusu Lan clan, hoping for some concession and permission to enter first. However, the Gusu Lan clan's disciples were known for their strict adherence to the rules, attaching great importance to them. No matter how much the Yunmeng Jiang clan pleaded, they refused to compromise, insisting on finding the visiting card before entering.

The sounds of the argument echoed through the mountain gate, attracting more and more onlookers. The Yunmeng Jiang Clan's disciples looked embarrassed, while the figure in purple clothing grew increasingly angry.

"You, the Gusu Lan family, are too rigid! Rules are dead, but people are alive. Can't you be flexible?" he asked loudly.

The Gusu Lan Clan's disciples remained unmoved. The leading disciple replied solemnly, "Rules exist to maintain order. If we, the Gusu Lan Clan, don't abide by them ourselves, how can we expect others to? Please be patient and come back when you find your visiting card."

At that moment, Lan Wangji, dressed in white and radiant with an air of immortality, slowly emerged from the mountain gate. His gaze, as cold as ice, swept over everyone present. His appearance brought the arguing to an abrupt halt.

The disciples of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan looked embarrassed, and the figure in purple clothes also restrained his anger.

"Who is making a noise here?" Lan Wangji's appearance seemed to carry an invisible majesty, causing everyone present to involuntarily quiet down.

Upon seeing Lan Wangji arrive, the Lan Clan's gatekeeper disciple bowed respectfully at the pine tree's entrance and reported, "Second Young Master, this young master claims to be Jiang Cheng, also known as Jiang Wanyin, the Young Master of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan. He claims to be here to learn. However, he accidentally left his visiting card at the inn at the foot of the mountain, hoping to enter the Cloud Recesses first and then have his disciples go down the mountain to retrieve it. I told him that he couldn't enter without a visiting card, and this Young Master Jiang became furious."

Lan Wangji nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping over Jiang Cheng like lightning, and said calmly, "No one is allowed to enter without a visiting card."

Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and argued, "I've already made it clear that I've sent people to look for the invitation. Why can't we enter?"

Lan Wangji's expression remained indifferent. He calmly replied, "No one is allowed to enter without a visiting card."

When Jiang Cheng heard this, his face became even gloomier, "You..." He was about to draw his sword, anger burning in his heart. He had never suffered such an insult.

At this moment, a well-mannered member of the Lan clan emerged from the Lan clan's main gate. He spoke softly, "Young Master Jiang! Our Lan clan is hosting a study session and has invited young masters from various noble families to attend. It's not unreasonable to ask for a visiting card, right? Even for ordinary visits, a visiting card is required; it's basic etiquette. But today, Young Master Jiang, you're trying to barge into our Lan clan's mountain gate without a visiting card. What are you trying to do?"

The Lan Clan disciples present saw the newcomer and quickly saluted respectfully, "Young Sect Master."

Lan Wangji bowed: "Brother"

This person was none other than the young master of the Lan clan—Lan Xichen. He was gentle and refined, and his words revealed a calm and composed demeanor.
