Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

At that moment, hurried footsteps echoed from the doorway, and a Lan Clan disciple hurried in, his face etched with anxiety. When he caught sight of Lan Xichen, a wave of relief washed over him. He paused, bowed, and then eagerly reported, "Young Master, the disciples attending the class have been arguing and fighting."

Lan Xichen quickly stood up and was about to bow and say goodbye to Chaoyang, but Chaoyang beat him to the punch and said, "Young Master Lan, please go and take care of your affairs first!"

Hearing Chaoyang's words, Lan Xichen paused briefly before hurriedly heading towards the Orchid Chamber. On the way, he eagerly inquired, "What exactly happened? Who was arguing with whom?"

The Lan Clan disciple followed closely behind, recounting everything he knew in detail: "Today, Master led the disciples of the aristocratic families to the Leaky Window Wall. After returning to the Orchid Chamber, the disciples began to discuss the matter. For unknown reasons, Young Master Yunmeng Jiang and Young Master Lanling Jin had gotten into an argument, and then they came to blows. It seems the fight has affected others, and now the Orchid Chamber is in chaos."

Lan Xichen's eyes were sharp as he inquired again, "Have you sent someone to notify Uncle and Wangji?"

"I've already sent someone there. When I came to look for the Young Master, I saw the Second Young Master rushing to the Orchid Chamber."

When Lan Qiren learned that his disciples had reported that Jiang Cheng and Jin Zixuan had fought, he was so angry that his beard flew up, and he hurriedly sent his disciples to notify the heads of the Jiang and Jin families.

Jiang Fengmian and Jin Guangshan quickly arrived in Gusu from Yunmeng and Lanling that day. When the two clan leaders were led to the elegant chamber, Jin Zixuan and Jiang Wanyin were kneeling on the gravel pavement outside, their faces covered in bruises. Jin Zixuan's face was expressionless, while Jiang Wanyin's was filled with resentment. Upon seeing their respective fathers, a hint of grievance flashed in their eyes. Before the two clan leaders could comfort their sons, they entered the chamber to greet Lan Qiren.

During the lecture, the two young sect leaders actually came to blows! Lan Qiren, his beard practically curled up in anger, sternly reprimanded Jin Guangshan and Jiang Fengmian, leaving them sweating profusely as if they were reliving the tense atmosphere of the lecture.

After Lan Qiren's reprimand, the two finally understood the cause of the dispute between Jin Zixuan and Jiang Wanyin. It turned out that after listening to the legendary stories of the Lan family's ancestors, the children of the aristocratic families returned to the Lanshi and talked about how, although the Lan family was traditional and conservative, there was once a deeply affectionate person. Then, the topic somehow turned to the image of each person's ideal future partner. Someone tried to please Jin Zixuan and asked him about his ideal Taoist partner. Jin Zixuan ignored the question because he was dissatisfied with his fiancée. The bystanders all knew what was going on, but someone, without observing Jin Zixuan's words and expressions, answered for him, "You don't have to ask Young Master Jin, he already has a fiancée."

Jin Zixuan's face immediately fell, and he said with a dark face: "Don't mention it again!"

When someone posed a question to Jin Zixuan, Jiang Wanyin immediately caught his attention and, expressing displeasure, engaged in an argument. Jin Zixuan possessed a certain arrogance, and when heated, his words could be quite harsh. Something he said irritated Jiang Wanyin, and he suddenly launched a punch, catching Jin Zixuan off guard and leaving half his face numb. The Jin sect's disciples naturally refused to sit idly by while their young leader was humiliated, and so did the Jiang sect's disciples, leading to a chaotic brawl between the two factions. The sheer number of participants inevitably affected the onlookers from the aristocratic families, none of whom were willing to endure the humiliation. Ultimately, the orchid room devolved into a chaotic brawl, until Lan Wangji, with a deadpan expression, intervened, separating the group.

Since the Lan family founded the Tingxue School, such a terrible incident had never occurred. Lan Qiren was furious and ordered all the students involved to copy the "Yazheng Collection" as punishment, while the instigators, Jin Zixuan and Jiang Wanyin, were punished to kneel on the gravel road.

Jin Guangshan wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. He apologized to Lan Qiren with a smile, admitting that it was his son Zixuan's fault. Lan Qiren's expression softened slightly.

At the same time, Jiang Fengmian's expression darkened. After all, any father would be displeased to hear his future son-in-law speak negatively of his daughter; it would be an insult to the Jiang family. To maintain the Jiang family's dignity, Jiang Fengmian said to Jin Guangshan with a displeased expression, "Since the noble young master is dissatisfied with this marriage, let's cancel it today."

Upon hearing this, Jin Guangshan couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. Although he coveted the Yunmeng Land, he wasn't completely satisfied with Jiang Yanli. If it weren't for Madam Jin and his own selfish motives, he wouldn't have easily agreed to this marriage. Now that Jiang Fengmian proposed to cancel the engagement, Jin Guangshan felt a little tempted. He hesitated and said, "How can I take the children's words seriously? They are just angry. This will not affect the relationship between our two families!"

Jiang Fengmian said sympathetically, "Brother Jin, although we can arrange a marriage for them, we cannot fulfill their marriage commitment on their behalf. After all, they are the ones who will spend their lives together."

Jin Guangshan was secretly delighted, but on the surface he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Since Brother Jiang has proposed this, I will boldly make the decision today and cancel the engagement between our two families. I wish Brother Jiang can find a happy marriage for your daughter."

Jiang Fengmian had never expected Jin Guangshan to actually cancel the engagement. He had assumed that Jin Guangshan would not easily give up the benefits of the marriage between the two families, and therefore had boldly proposed to cancel the engagement to maintain the dignity of the Jiang family. Jiang Fengmian was so shocked that he even forgot to hide his expression.

Jin Guangshan saw Jiang Fengmian's expression and chuckled to himself. Did he really think I wouldn't dare? The Jiang family had been infiltrated almost completely by me. Even without the aid of marriage, Yunmeng would eventually fall under my control.

Now that the situation had developed to this point, there was no room for maneuver. Jiang Fengmian could only accept this reality with a gloomy expression.

The fight ended with Jin Zixuan being punished to copy the Lan family rules ten times, and Jiang Cheng being punished to copy the rules ten times with a ruler fifty times, and to hand them in within three days.

Afterwards, the two said goodbye to Lan Qiren and went to look for their own sons. Jin Guangshan didn't say much, but only told Jin Zixuan to study hard and make good friends.

Jiang Fengmian and Jiang Wanyin were not very happy. Jiang Fengmian first blamed Jiang Wanyin for losing his temper.

Jiang Wanyin showed dissatisfaction, and Jiang Fengmian felt exhausted physically and mentally. Why can't Ah Cheng learn? No matter what he teaches, Ah Cheng always seems to turn a deaf ear. Jiang Wanyin noticed that Jiang Fengmian was looking at him with disappointment again, and finally his emotions broke out, blurting out a series of complaints. He complained that Jiang Fengmian only paid attention to others and ignored his efforts; he complained that Jiang Fengmian was too partial to the sons of those old friends and forgot who his biological son was. Jiang Fengmian had never expected that Jiang Wanyin had so much resentment in his heart, but everything he did was out of love for Ah Cheng. Those people were all the help he painstakingly found for Ah Cheng. However, seeing Jiang Wanyin in tears, Jiang Fengmian felt guilty, so he comforted Jiang Wanyin gently with kind words, and asked about his recent situation in the Cloud Recesses with concern. For a while, the relationship between father and son became much more harmonious.

However, before Jin Guangshan left the Cloud Recesses, he expressed his wish to visit the Xuanyuan Sect Master. Unfortunately, he was told that the Xuanyuan Sect Master was unwilling to see guests, and Jin Guangshan left the Lan Clan in displeasure.
