Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

Lan Qiren's movements suddenly paused. "What?" Even Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji, standing by, were shocked. That was the Marrow Cleansing Pill!

Lan Qiren looked at Chaoyang in shock. He knew the Marrow Cleansing Pill had long been lost. Even if aristocratic families possessed it, they would treasure it like a treasure. No one would give it as a gift. He quickly declined, "No, Sect Master Xuanyuan, this apology is too valuable. I can accept the collection of books, but I absolutely cannot accept the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Please keep it, Sect Master Xuanyuan."

Lan Qiren's heart was bleeding. He wanted this thing so badly, but he couldn't have it because it was really valuable.

Chaoyang responded, "Fellow Daoist Lan, this is an apology. I've accepted all the books, and please accept the Marrow Cleansing Pill as well!"

When Lan Qiren heard Chaoyang's words, he quickly refused, "No, the collection of books is enough." Lan Xichen also explained, "It would be best to exchange the collection of books for the collection of books. Please keep this Marrow Cleansing Pill, Sect Master Xuanyuan."

At this moment, Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) witnessed Mr. Lan and Lan Xichen's refusal and said softly, "Mr. Lan, please rest assured. This item is a common item for the Xuanyuan family. You can accept it with confidence."

In the end, Lan Qiren accepted it, unable to resist the four people's repeated persuasion.

He took the storage bag handed to him by Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) and said, "Since Xuanyuan Zong wants to borrow books from the library, please abide by the rules and only read them in the library. You are not allowed to take the books out."

Chaoyang understood and smiled, "That's natural."

Lan Qiren arranged, "Since this is Sect Master Xuanyuan's first visit to the Lan Clan, why not have Xichen accompany Sect Master Xuanyuan on a tour of the Cloud Recesses?"

Chaoyang echoed, "Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Lan." Chaoyang's gaze softened as he looked at Lan Xichen again, a smile on his lips, "Thank you for troubling Young Sect Master Lan."

Lan Xichen led Chaoyang out of the house and toward the pre-prepared courtyard. Along the way, he introduced the surrounding scenery to Chaoyang. Passing Lan Clan disciples and students from various aristocratic families looked at them curiously. When the disciples saw that Chaoyang was being led by Lan Xichen himself, closely followed by Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) and Xuanyuan Fen (Fen Hua), they realized that Chaoyang was a member of the Xuanyuan Clan. Although they were unsure of his exact status, they bowed respectfully.

When Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) and Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) left the elegant room, the former followed Lan Wangji, while the latter went to play with Nie Huaisang.

Lan Xichen escorted Chaoyang to the courtyard before politely bidding him farewell.

Chaoyang surveyed the clearly meticulously decorated residence, then absentmindedly sat at the table, pouring himself a cup of tea. He didn't taste it, but simply played with it in his hand, resting his chin with his other hand, his eyes empty, as if lost in thought.

“To save, or not to save???”

Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) and Xuanyuan Fen (Fen Hua), who were standing behind Chaoyang, saw that Chaoyang was lost in thought and didn't want to disturb him. Just as they were about to cautiously leave the room, they were interrupted by a voice.

"Come here and sit down."

The two men greeted each other, then sat down and called out, "Uncle."

Chaoyang put down the teacup in his hand and asked lazily, "During your study, what did you learn about the children of aristocratic families?"

Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) and Xuanyuan Fen (Fen Hua) exchanged a glance, puzzled by their uncle's question, but didn't delve into it. Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) responded, "The two sons of the Lan clan are just as rumored: one gentle and refined, the other cold and aloof. The Jin clan's young master, Jin Zixuan, while somewhat spoiled, has decent character. Of the Jiang siblings, Jiang Cheng has a fiery temper, while Jiang Yanli is incredibly hypocritical. As for the Nie clan's second son, Nie Huaisang, while he may appear timid and cowardly, he's also intelligent and resourceful."

Upon hearing this, Chaoyang did not respond immediately, but simply stroked the teacup. Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) asked softly with a hint of caution, "Uncle, why did you choose to stay in the Lan family?"

"Oh! A'yao, why don't you think your uncle stayed in the Lan family because of the Lan family's collection of books?" Chaoyang smiled lightly and asked with a cunning glint in his eyes.

Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) smiled and said, "Uncle, you have never liked reading books. You always use your spiritual sense to scan the jade slips."

Chaoyang supported his right cheek and said nonchalantly: "Okay!"

Xuanyuan Fen (Fen Hua) said, "Uncle, you haven't told me why you came to the Lan family?"

"Come and play! What else can we do?"

Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) and Xuanyuan Fen (Fen Hua) looked at each other and did not believe a word of what Uncle Chaoyang said.

At this moment, the sound of distinct footsteps approached, and Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) stormed into the room. As soon as he entered, he grabbed the teacup on the table and emptied it in one gulp, muttering indignantly, "I'm so pissed off."

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" Chaoyang's voice was filled with concern and confusion. He gently put down the teacup in his hand and looked gently at Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying).

Before Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) could respond, he was interrupted by the voice of Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) outside the house: "Uncle, besides Lan Wangji, who else could make him so angry?"

Upon hearing this, Chaoyang's brows furrowed slightly, his curiosity growing even stronger. He turned his head, his gaze inquiring, "Oh? Tell me, what could have caused Second Young Master Lan, who is usually as calm as water and doesn't get angry easily, to make our little A-Ying so angry?"

Xue Yang chuckled, walked into the house, and casually found a place to sit down. He shook his head slightly, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "Uncle, you have to remove such a big filter for A Ying."

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) shouted arrogantly: "A Yin."

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Xue Yang raised his hands in surrender, then said seriously, "It's nothing serious. It's just that Lan Wangji is too old-fashioned. Ah Ying wanted to take Lan Wangji to the back mountain to play with rabbits, but Lan Wangji insisted that the Cloud Recesses were a place where you couldn't indulge in trivial things and said with a stern face, 'boring'. Ah Ying said a few words, but Lan Wangji stopped her from saying anything. Ah Ying felt humiliated and came back angrily."

Upon hearing this, Chaoyang smiled faintly, his eyes flashing with a hint of meaning. "Oh? I see."

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) curled his lips. "Hey, Xue Yang, do you think Lan Wangji was made of stone? He has no idea how to have fun. I wanted to take him out to play with good intentions, after all, we spend the whole day either practicing or studying, which is so boring. But he just said 'don't let toys ruin your ambition' and then denied all the fun. He even called me 'boring' and stopped me from talking."

Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) shook his head slightly, his smile adding a hint of amusement. "Uncle, you don't know, ever since he started attending school, he has loved playing with Lan Wangji."

After hearing this, Chaoyang turned to look at Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) and asked, "Tell me what's going on?" Chaoyang had never expected that even though Wei Ying had strictly abided by the rules of his family throughout his life and had never openly provoked others on their territory, why did he still like to tease Lan Wangji?

"Uncle, I just saw Lan Wangji with a stern face, as if someone owed him millions of taels of silver, and I couldn't help but want to tease him."

Seeing that Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) didn't know what to say, Chaoyang could only look at Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang). "Ayang, what do you say?"

Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) looked particularly serious when he saw Chaoyang. "Uncle, you might not know, but on our first day at the Lan Clan, we ran into Lan Wangji." He pointed at Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) and said unhappily, "He kept staring at me, his eyes fixed on me. He didn't listen to me when I talked to him. As soon as get out of class was over, he followed Lan Wangji around, nagging nonstop. And the most annoying thing is, Lan Wangji just ignored him."

Chaoyang's brows were furrowed tightly, as if water could be squeezed out of them. "Aying, is that so?"

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) noticed Chaoyang's serious expression, but still muttered, "Uncle, I didn't do anything. Why are you so serious? It's not a big deal."

Just as Chaoyang was about to say something, he was interrupted by the voice in his head: "You can't stop them, so you might as well let them develop freely."

Chaoyang asked curiously, "So what do you think of Lan Wangji?"

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) responded unhappily: "Well, it's barely acceptable. However, I don't like it. It feels too cold."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) frowned and asked, "If you don't like it, why do you still follow Lan Wangji?"

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) said lazily, "Isn't that just curiosity?"

Hearing this answer, the other four couldn't help but roll their eyes and looked at him unhappily.

Only Chaoyang's eyes were full of smiles.

In this life, Wei Ying is pampered by the morning sun. As long as he keeps himself safe, he can have whatever he desires. Surrounded by his fellow apprentices, he is meticulously cared for. Initially, he might have entertained teasing Lan Wangji, but as time passes, facing Lan Wangji's unwavering coldness, who can maintain that enthusiasm and patience for long?

He is not the Wei Ying in his previous life. He was always treated like this in the Jiang family because he was living under someone else's roof. He had to take the initiative to coax Jiang Cheng's ridicule, and he had to try his best to endure and ignore Yu Ziyuan's harsh words. This is how Wei Ying went through in his previous life, so Lan Zhan's cold words when he was in school could not hurt Wei Ying, because he had been enduring even more excessive things.

Now that there are no Jiang Cheng and Yu Ziyuan to compare with, how could Wei Ying face up to Lan Zhan's cold treatment? Everyone is pampered.
