Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

After all, as the head of his family, how could Jiang Fengmian not be aware of the priceless value of a good reputation among the hundreds of immortal families? After all, a resounding reputation is enough to pave a smooth path full of convenience and opportunities for the holder.

Furthermore, there's you, Wei Ying, the brother Jiang Fengmian has long sought. To Jiang Fengmian, your existence, Wei Ying, is not only the continuation of Wei Changze's bloodline but also a testament to his righteousness and loyalty. Jiang Fengmian tirelessly travels far and wide, searching for you. This dedication and perseverance never wavers, even after you, Wei Ying, are mistakenly believed dead.

In the eyes of the world, Jiang Fengmian may not have been able to keep you alive for long, but he did bring you, Wei Ying, back to Yunmeng. This effort and dedication, though regrettable in its outcome, further demonstrates the depth of his love. This act also makes Jiang Fengmian a model of righteousness, someone who tirelessly strives to find his brother's son. His righteous act will undoubtedly win him even more praise and respect from the hundreds of immortal families.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was instantly enraged. Xuanyuan Yue and Xuanyuan Yin slammed their hands on the table and shouted in indignation, "How sinister and cunning! The Jiang family's immortal ancestor's reputation for chivalry has been tarnished in this way. It is truly heartbreaking and infuriating!"

Upon seeing this, Chaoyang immediately took the hands of the two, checked them carefully and warned them in a gentle voice: "Don't hurt yourself for those who are not worthy." After confirming that there were no scars, he let go of their hands with peace of mind.

A scornful smile played across Chaoyang's lips as he spoke indifferently, "Chivalry? Humph, that's nothing more than a beautiful illusion bestowed upon the Jiang family's ancestors. Ever since the Jiang family's ancestors founded their aristocratic family, that once glorious reputation for chivalry has gradually become a hollow shell. Deep within the aristocratic family, the pursuit of power, status, and wealth is the eternal melody, and the word 'chivalry' has become little more than a facade to enhance their reputation."

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Jing continued, "In the past, when the Jiang clan's immortal ancestor was still alive, the Jiang clan might have still upheld the principles of chivalry and justice, and of eliminating violence and protecting the good. But as time passed, the Jiang clan gradually became an arena where power struggles and interests intertwined. The noble chivalrous spirit of the past has long since disappeared under the erosion of time."

Xuanyuan Neck played with the chess piece in his hand and continued, "In this world full of competition and conflicting interests, 'chivalry' alone will not allow you to survive. Only by mastering sufficient strength and resources can you gain a foothold in this world. The so-called 'chivalry' is nothing more than an excuse used by the weak to comfort themselves and deceive the world."

Xuanyuanji dropped a piece and looked at Chaoyang opposite him and said, "Uncle, you lost."

"What a good move!" Chaoyang threw down the chess piece in his hand and looked at him.

Xuanyuan Yue and Xuanyuan Yin's eyes met. Xuanyuan Yin, puzzled, asked, "Uncle, weren't we discussing the reasons behind Jiang Fengmian's actions? Why are we talking about chess again?"

Chaoyang picked up the fan beside him and gently patted Xuanyuan Yin's head. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said leisurely, "Think about it yourself."

Xuanyuan Yin reached out and touched the spot where he had been tapped, mumbling a little aggrievedly, "Uncle, if you keep hitting me like this, I'm going to become stupid."

Xuanyuan Fen couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this. He patted Xuanyuan Yin on the shoulder and comforted him, "Ah Yin, your uncle is just trying to teach you something. It's not easy to become stupid. It depends on whether you are willing to use your brain."

Xuanyuan Yue also smiled slightly, with a cunning glint in his eyes. He took over the conversation: "Uncle, Ajing, I understand."

"what do you know?"

Xuanyuan Yue's eyes gradually became deep, and she slowly spoke: "Behind Jiang Fengmian, there is still a mastermind behind the scenes who is secretly fanning the flames."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yin nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Who is it? Could it be that Purple Spider?"

Chaoyang said calmly: "She is just one of them."

Xuanyuan Yue felt a surge of indignation in her heart, and asked in confusion, "What exactly is Yu Ziyuan's intention in doing this? Is she trying to humiliate herself and become a cuckold?"

Chaoyang scoffed softly, leisurely twirling the folding fan in his hand, and slowly explained, "Yu Ziyuan's actions are actually an excuse to comfort herself for her marital failure. Yu Ziyuan herself is unwilling to face her own shortcomings in the marriage, so she transfers her anger to others, and Cangse Sanren unfortunately becomes her target of venting. By blaming Cangse Sanren, Yu Ziyuan intends to repeatedly emphasize to herself and the world that her marital misfortune is not caused by herself, but is due to Cangse Sanren's existence."

Xuanyuan Yue and Xuanyuan Yin were stunned. They really couldn't understand Yu Ziyuan's logic. She must be mentally ill.

Xuanyuan Fen asked, "Uncle, you just mentioned Yu Ziyuan as just one of them. Who else is involved?"

Chao Yang continued, "As for those others, they are secretly stirring up trouble within the Jiang family, intending to plunge the Jiang family into turmoil and seize the opportunity to seize the Jiang family's foundation."

Xuanyuan Yue asked urgently: "Uncle, who are they?"

Chaoyang asked in return, "Among the five great families, who else do you think wants to swallow up the Jiang family?"

Xuanyuan Yue thought to herself, "The Lan family is out of the question. The Wen family is known for their straightforward approach, preferring direct challenges over stratagems. Therefore, the Wen family is unlikely to be behind this. The Nie family is known for their bravery, especially Nie Mingjue. His upright character makes it impossible for him to resort to such despicable tactics. So, the only remaining possibility is the Jin family!"

Xuanyuan Yue responded firmly: "Uncle, it's the Jin family, right?"

When Xuanyuan Neck heard this, his ears moved slightly, and he dropped a child and chuckled, "Uncle, I have said that A Yue is very smart, but she just doesn't want to spend too much time on it."

Chaoyang's smile held a hint of approval. He nodded slightly and continued, "Indeed, it's the Jin family. Jin Guangshan has long coveted the Jiang family. No, to be more precise, Jin Guangshan has long coveted the position of Immortal Overlord."

"Him?" Xuanyuan Fen said with disdain, "He's not worthy."

"I don't know if Jin Guangshan is worthy, but at least he dares to think and do it! Even if the means are dishonorable." Chaoyang placed the last chess piece, "Ayao, you lose."

"Yes! I lost." Xuanyuan Jing gently put down the chess piece in his hand, turned his gaze to Xuanyuan Fen, and said gently: "Ahua, this round, you come and play with your uncle."

Xuanyuan Fen smiled faintly, stood up, and walked to the chessboard, sitting opposite Chaoyang. He then picked up the chess piece and gently stroked it, as if pondering his next move. Xuanyuan Yue watched quietly from the side, but her heart was thinking about Jin Guangshan.

Xuanyuan Yin patted his hands lightly, a playful smile on his lips as he said, "I never thought that the one who has been stabbing the Jiang family in the back is actually Jiang Fengmian's former relative! This Jin Guangshan is really a dishonest person!"

Xuanyuan Neck didn't show any surprise at this result. He leisurely brewed tea and said softly, "As expected."

Xuanyuan Yue sat lightly on a small stool beside the chessboard, her hands resting on her cheeks, her brows slightly furrowed, and she asked Xuanyuan Jing with a hint of curiosity: "Ayao, do you think Jiang Fengmian knows about this?"
