Just after Meng Yao (Xuanyuan Jing) properly arranged for the people in Yunmeng to search for evidence, he devoted himself to his studies with peace of mind and continued his academic journey with his senior and junior brothers.

Shocking news emanated from Yunmeng Lotus Pier once again. Rumors circulated that Jiang Fengmian was tirelessly searching for the orphan of his brother, Wei Changze. How could someone so deeply connected and affectionate be implicated in such a heinous act of annihilating an entire family and plundering their descendants? Events escalated, with Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan engaging in another public argument. Yu Ziyuan, in particular, launched a furious attack, slandering Cangse Sanren. This action reignited the false rumors surrounding Cangse Sanren and Jiang Fengmian, which quickly spread throughout Yunmeng. The rumors that Young Sect Master Jiang had voluntarily broken off his engagement with Miss Jiang, as well as the rumors about the Jiang family's second disciple's mysterious disappearance, were no longer mentioned.

Upon hearing the news, Xuanyuan Yue and the others at the Cloud Recesses were furious, slamming the table. The others were also livid, their faces filled with indignation. Jiang Fengmian was so shameless, he even dared to mention this matter! ! !

Chaoyang pulled Xuanyuan Yue's hand, which was slamming the table, over to check if it was injured. He said, "Go ahead and vent your anger, but don't hurt yourself!"

Xuanyuan Yue clenched his fists tightly and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, don't you think it's enough that they have learned a lesson? And they are still spreading it."

Xuanyuan Yue would never allow his mother's reputation to be damaged. Ever since he got involved in political intrigue and military strategy, he has worked together with Xuanyuan Jing and others to quell this matter. How could there be rumors spreading now?

Chaoyang frowned, a chilling coldness flashing across his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Our 'benevolent' Sect Leader Jiang has actually started using your family to gain fame again."

"The Jiang family is so shameless!" Xuanyuan Yin cursed angrily.

The reason why Jiang Fengmian did this was nothing more than to use the name of Wei Ying's family to restore their own reputation and achieve their own goals; deliberately avoiding the first two rumors was precisely to cover them up with bigger rumors in an attempt to completely wash away these unfavorable rumors.

Xuanyuan Jing also frowned. Although Xuanyuan Jing did not have a deep hatred for the Jiang family like Wei Ying, he also felt disgusted with what the Jiang family did.

Xuanyuan Fen took a deep breath and said, "This rumor spread too quickly. Someone must be behind it. We need to resolve it as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Everyone also understood Xuanyuan Fen's unfinished business.

Just as Chaoyang was about to speak, a communication saucer flew in. It was from Yunmeng. Xuanyuan Jing hurriedly checked, and a crisp, anxious voice rang out, announcing news that shocked everyone: "Elder, Yunmeng is rumored to have Elder Cangse having an affair with Sect Master Jiang. They say...that Wei Ying is Sect Master Jiang's child, which is why Sect Master Jiang has been searching for him. This news is now spreading throughout Yunmeng, causing a huge sensation! I, your disciple, have also spread rumors that Elder Wei and Elder Cangse were undoubtedly in love, but they were secretly suppressed by the Jiang family. The Jiang family seems determined to use this rumor to achieve their own goals. I don't know what to do. Elder, please guide me."

Xuanyuan Jing's face turned ashen in an instant. He clenched his fists and growled in anger, "The Jiang family is really going too far! Don't they know how destructive rumors are? Such despicable tactics are simply unworthy of a family of immortal cultivators!" His voice echoed in the quiet air, carrying an indignation that could not be ignored.

"What?!" Xuanyuan Yue's face instantly turned ashen upon hearing this. He stood up abruptly, clenching his hands into fists, his eyes flashing with anger.

Xuanyuan Yin was also shocked. He didn't expect the Jiang family to be so shameless as to fabricate such rumors to attack the reputation of others.

"The Jiang family is really good at this!" Chaoyang said coldly, his voice revealing endless anger and disdain.

"Uncle, what should I do!" Wei Ying's eyes were full of sadness and anger. He was sad that someone had tarnished his mother's reputation, and he was angry at the Jiang family's unscrupulous means.

A chilling coldness flashed across Chaoyang's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Since the Jiang family wants to play this game, then we will fight to the end. We want to make the Jiang family understand that some people cannot be slandered so easily!"

"Uncle, what should we do?" Xuanyuan Yue asked hurriedly.

Chaoyang lightly took the fragrant tea brewed by Xuanyuan Neck and took a sip. When he lowered his eyes, a hint of coldness quietly passed by him. "Since Yu Ziyuan likes to be cuckolded so much, then we might as well make this matter a reality. What do you think?" After Chaoyang finished speaking, he leisurely put down the teacup in his hand.

Xuanyuan Yue and Xuanyuan Yin exchanged a glance, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes. Xuanyuan Yue spoke first, a hint of hesitation in her voice: "Uncle, didn't you forbid us from doing this before?"

Chaoyang smiled faintly, but within that smile was a chilling coldness that could not be ignored. "Sometimes, only by giving someone a taste of their own medicine can they truly experience pain. Yu Ziyuan prides herself on being noble, yet she repeatedly hurts others with rumors. Today, we will let her taste the bitter fruit of her own actions."

At this time, Xuanyuan Yue gently tugged at Chaoyang's sleeve and said softly in a coquettish tone: "Uncle, please help me~"

Chaoyang was so shocked by his sudden action that his entire body trembled, and his hair stood on end. Chaoyang knew in his heart that this kid would resort to this trick whenever he needed something from him, so Chaoyang rudely slapped his hand away, rolled his eyes, and coldly spat out three words: "Behave yourself!"

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Yue quickly and deftly withdrew her hand, sat upright as usual, and smiled brightly, like a little fox who had succeeded in his plan: "Uncle, please have some tea!"

Xuanyuan Jing, Xuanyuan Fen and Xuanyuan Yin witnessed the interaction between the two and couldn't help but smile.

Chaoyang gently gripped the teacup, took a sip, and slowly set it down. His expression grew serious. "There are two main reasons why these rumors persist. First, someone is secretly fanning the flames behind the scenes. I don't need to say who this person is; we both know it. It's none other than Jiang Fengmian, the patriarch of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan. Yunmeng is his sphere of influence. As the patriarch, how could he allow rumors to spread unchecked within his territory and do nothing?"

Chaoyang's face was filled with contempt and disdain as he continued, "In Yunmeng, have you four ever heard any criticism of Jiang Fengmian? Although trivial matters concerning the Jiang family are often circulated in Yunmeng, upon closer inspection, Jiang Fengmian's reputation has not been damaged. Instead, it is Yu Ziyuan who has been burdened with many unwarranted accusations. Perhaps some people have privately discussed the faint romantic scandal between Jiang Fengmian and Cangse Sanren, but in this complex and unpredictable world, how serious a flaw can such a person be considered?

Speaking of Cangse Sanren, she was born in Baoshan, a sacred place shrouded in legend and mystery. Since she descended from the mountain, she has made it her mission to uphold justice, punish evil and promote good. Her deeds have been widely circulated in the martial arts world, earning her the admiration and praise of countless people.

Even if some among the hundreds of immortal families harbored doubts about Jiang Fengmian's character, once Cangse Sanren's name was mentioned alongside the Jiang family, those doubts vanished like morning mist. Jiang Fengmian's ambitions went far beyond merely engaging in a sham affair with Cangse Sanren. He aimed to leverage Cangse Sanren's reputation to elevate Wei Ying and Wei Changze to fame. Haven't you noticed? Mentioning Wei Ying, Cangse Sanren, or Wei Changze inevitably links them to the Jiang family. Even if Wei Changze had never been a member of the Jiang family, or even if he was a true servant, the world wouldn't care. This was precisely how Jiang Fengmian spread the rumor that he and Wei Changze were as close as brothers. This naturally earned Wei Changze respect. After all, the profound significance of a casual cultivator becoming sworn brothers with the head of a formidable family is self-evident. I believe everyone understands without further explanation!
