Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

Chaoyang picked up the teacup lightly and asked casually, "What do you four think of the Cloud Recesses?"

Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) murmured, "Old-fashioned, pedantic, and imprisoned."

Xuanyuan Fen (Fen Hua) said, "Strict."

Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) smiled playfully and said, "The scenery in the Cloud Recesses is indeed breathtaking, but I find the Lan family's people more 'interesting'."

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) lay on the table, a candy in his mouth, his chin resting on his fist, and said in agreement, "I also think the Lan family is very 'interesting'. The leader doesn't look like a leader, and the elders don't look like elders."

Chaoyang paused in his tea sip, as if he hadn't heard the last words. He said calmly, "I've heard that the Lan family is renowned for educating the hundreds of immortal families and is known for its meticulous attention to etiquette. The Lan family members are also known for their modest and humble manners. However, upon seeing them today, I couldn't help but notice..." He paused for a moment, then found the right word: "It seems a little unworthy of its reputation."

Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) asked back: "Did Uncle notice it too?"

Chaoyang dipped his finger in the tea and flicked it at him, humming softly, "I don't think you haven't noticed."

Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) leaned slightly to the side, deftly avoiding the oncoming water droplets. He commented calmly, "Such an obvious thing, I naturally noticed. Aside from Second Young Master Lan, who appears to be a true gentleman, the others seem to be merely superficial gentlemen. Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen seem to have been kept in the dark and still don't realize they've been deceived. Furthermore, there were spies among the disciples who came to study this time. The Lan clan didn't even notice."

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) took over the conversation and said, "The situation may be different now. After what happened today, Lan Xichen may have realized the delicate position his uncle is in. But who is this spy???"

Xuanyuan Fen (Fen Hua) continued, "It's remarkable how well-rounded this Young Master Lan is, earning him the title of 'Lord Zewu' among the hundreds of immortal sects. However, he still lacks experience and sees things too simply. If he doesn't grow, he'll end up in the same situation as Mr. Lan."

Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) elaborated, "Ayue, haven't you noticed? Among the disciples who come to the Jin Clan to study, several always linger near the core area of ​​the Lan Clan's mountain protection formation during their days off."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying)'s gaze narrowed slightly. He reflected carefully for a moment, then nodded and said, "It seems that there were a few people lingering on the edge of the Lan Clan's mountain protection formation. At the time, I thought they were just passing through, but now I think they were recording the Lan Clan's formation diagram."

Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) smiled gently, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "This is exactly the crux of the matter. The Jin family sent disciples here to study, probably not just to listen to the lessons, but also to spy on the Lan family's formation diagram."

Hearing Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) say this, Chaoyang couldn't help but recall why the Lan family's mountain protection formation was broken so quickly by the Wen family in Aying's memory. It turned out that Jin Guangshan secretly leaked the Lan family's formation diagram to the Wen family!

At that time, Chaoyang couldn't understand why the Lan family, a family of immortal cultivators, had its mountain gate breached by the Wen family's forces in just one day. Now, thinking about it, the root of all this lies in this.

Chaoyang thought to himself, if Lan Qiren in his previous life knew that the school he set up with good intentions was used by some unscrupulous people, which led to the tragedy of the Cloud Recesses being burned down, would he jump up and beat people up?

Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) asked doubtfully, "Should we tell the Lan family about this so they can change the formation?"

Hearing this question, Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) rolled his eyes and said disapprovingly: "We are not members of the Lan family, why should we bother with this? Why should we care about the Lan family!"

As soon as Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang) finished speaking, Chaoyang gently put down the teacup. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and a smile flashed in his eyes as he said, "Ayang is right. Even if we tell it, the Lan family might say that we are trying to sow discord between the Lan and Jin families." He continued, "Aying, we must not do such a thankless task." After speaking, Chaoyang gently raised his hand, and his fingertips lightly slid across the table, making a subtle and crisp sound, which intertwined with the birdsong outside the window into a melodious melody.

"Alright!" Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying) replied calmly. Since his uncle had said so, he didn't care. It wasn't their business anyway.

In the morning sun, Xuanyuan Yue (Wei Ying), Xuanyuan Yin (Xue Yang), Xuanyuan Fen (Fen Hua), and Xuanyuan Jing (Meng Yao) were leisurely conversing in their room. Meanwhile, the noble families outside were abuzz with excitement over Xuanyuan Yue's (Wei Ying) feat of purifying the Water Abyss, and they all began to inquire about the Xuanyuan clan's origins.

Nie family.

"Sect Master, Senior Chaoyang has gone to the Lan Clan."

Nie Mingjue asked, "What was Senior Chaoyang's purpose in visiting the Lan Clan?"

"News came from Gusu that Mr. Chaoyang's nephew purified the Water Abyss, so Mr. Chaoyang went to the Lan family."

Hearing this, Nie Mingjue immediately recalled the time when he met Mr. Chaoyang as a child, and the child he saw at that time. He thought to himself, "So it's that child."

Ever since Chaoyang rescued Nie Huaisang, Nie Mingjue had always wanted to entertain him graciously, but he had never been able to find Chaoyang's residence. Later, with the death of his father, Nie Mingjue was forced to shoulder the burden of the Nie family, and over time, Chaoyang's memories gradually faded from his mind.

Nie Mingjue gazed at his subordinates below, then said in a deep voice, "Hurry and send a message to Huaisang, asking him to visit Senior Chaoyang on behalf of the Nie clan." He paused for a moment, then added, "If Senior Chaoyang encounters any difficulties, the Nie clan will lend a hand."

"Yes, Master." A subordinate quickly stepped forward and responded respectfully.

When other families received the news from their disciples from the Lan family, they were looking for information about the Xuanyuan family at home. Later, they learned that the "loose cultivator" who defeated Wen Ruohan in the early years was from the Xuanyuan family, and the student who could purify Shui Xingyuan was that person's nephew.

This string of news exploded like thunder among the various aristocratic families, stirring up a wave of controversy. Aristocratic families who had previously known little about the Xuanyuan clan intensified their research into ancient texts, attempting to unearth the secrets of this ancient family from the dust of history.

But no one found it.

After all, the Xuanyuan clan did not originally belong to this world, and no matter how they searched, they could not find any clues.

But once this news spread, no one dared to challenge the Xuanyuan clan, not even the Wen clan. After all, no one wanted to provoke a clan whose background was unclear and whose depth was hard to fathom.

No one is a fool.
