"Uncle." A crisp call interrupted the man's thoughts. When he turned around, it was Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) and his group. In an instant, the expression in Chaoyang's face became complicated and difficult to distinguish, with both blame and pity.

"Ah..." But Chaoyang didn't know what he was thinking, so he changed his words and said, "Ayue, are you hurt?"

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) smiled slightly, with a mischievous gleam in his eyes. He pulled Chaoyang's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Uncle, I'm fine. Look, I'm fine, aren't I?" He turned around gently, his sleeves fluttering, as if proving with his actions that he was safe and sound.

Chaoyang's frown didn't relax. He knew Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying)'s personality well, always hiding danger behind a smile. He walked forward, carefully sizing him up, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he had no obvious injuries.

"Ayue, you are always like this. It makes me worry." There was a hint of helplessness and concern in Chaoyang's voice.

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) lowered his head guiltily, his fingers twisting the corner of his clothes unconsciously. "I didn't mean to do that!! I just... just..." He spoke haltingly, unable to articulate clearly.

"Uncle, Ah Yue didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive him this time." Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) comforted him softly. Even Xuanyuan Fen (Fen Hua) and Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) nodded in agreement. "Yes, uncle, Ah Yue was also motivated by the desire to help the people. Please forgive him this time!"

Wei Ying wanted to deal with Shui Xingyuan because he was afraid that Shui Xingyuan would follow the water flow to Caiyi Town and cause chaos, harming the people. That's why Wei Ying took action even though he knew he couldn't.

My uncle sighed, his eyes shifting from Ah Yue to the faces of the others. A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, but more of it was tolerance.

"Just protect this little troublemaker." My uncle's voice softened. "However, this incident is indeed a bit excessive. Ah Yue, come here."

Ah Yue lowered her head and moved cautiously to her uncle, not daring to look him in the eye. The uncle reached out and touched Ah Yue's head, his tone becoming serious.

"Ayue, do you know what you did wrong?"

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) bit his lower lip lightly, his voice as weak as a mosquito's hum: "While saving people, remember not to get hurt yourself."

"Then you did it?"

"No...no."

My uncle's brow furrowed, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, but more of it was worry. He sighed deeply, his voice softening slightly, but still holding an undeniable firmness.

"Ayue, you must understand that although we cultivators have the responsibility to protect all living things, we cannot take our own safety lightly. If you get hurt, it will not only bring pain to yourself, but also heartache to those who care about you. Do you understand?"

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) nodded, his eyes slightly red, and a sense of guilt welled up in his heart. "Uncle, I will be more careful next time."

A joyful smile appeared on Chaoyang's face. He gently patted Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) on ​​the shoulder and said earnestly: "Remember, no matter when and where, only by protecting yourself can you better protect others."

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) said coquettishly, "I understand. Uncle, please burn me just this once! I won't do it again next time."

Chaoyang pinched Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying)'s nose and said unhappily, "I shouldn't have prepared the Spirit Gathering Stone for you. This is simply reckless."

"uncle..."

Then, Chaoyang looked at Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) and the other two: "And you three, are you injured?"

"No, uncle."

"That's good." Chaoyang nodded.

"However, you all must remember not to act rashly." Chaoyang's tone turned serious. "Although your original intention was to protect the people, if you put yourself in danger, wouldn't that be more harm than good?"

Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) and the other two looked at each other and nodded in understanding. They knew that Uncle Chaoyang's teachings were out of love and care for them, and although they might seem harsh at times, it was for their own good.

Seeing that the four of them were alright, Chaoyang said, "Let's go! Let's go to Caiyi Town first. Uncle will make you something delicious."

The four of them were immediately cheered up when they heard this, and smiles of anticipation appeared on their faces. Ever since they came to the Lan family to study and tasted the Lan family's medicinal food, they began to miss the meals cooked by their uncle.

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) and Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) eagerly grabbed Chaoyang and prepared to dash down the mountain. They called out to their uncle in unison, "Uncle, hurry up! We all miss your cooking! Uncle, you have no idea how terrible the Lan family's medicinal food is."

Chaoyang looked at the four people's miserable faces and asked in confusion, "Is it really that bad? Worse than the dark cuisine that A-Ying made?"

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) cried out in grievance, "Uncle."

Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) curled his lips in disdain and said, "Ayue's cooking skills are nothing compared to the Lan family's medicinal food."

Chaoyang looked at them, a sly smile flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Let's go down the mountain and do it for you."

Before he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) and Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) had already cheered, pulling Chaoyang down the mountain. Along the way, the four of them chattered non-stop, while Chaoyang listened with a gentle smile, occasionally replying a few words.
