Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

Xuanyuan gently placed the teapot on his neck and snorted. A hint of contempt flashed across his eyes as he spoke slowly, "Jiang Fengmian and his men have some so-called cleverness, but it's all superficial, nothing more than calculating people's hearts and seeking fame. As for profound wisdom, Jiang Fengmian has none of it. Do you think he, Jiang Fengmian, would know?"

Chaoyang continued, "Jiang Fengmian is a cunning man, always thinking of how to use others to achieve his own goals. Jiang Fengmian is good at reading people's expressions and adapting to the situation, even worse than Jin Guangshan. However, such cleverness will never lead to great achievements. Over time, everyone will see Jiang Fengmian's true colors. Do you think any of those well-informed immortal sects and independent cultivators would be willing to get close to the Jiang family?"

After Chaoyang finished speaking, a flicker of contempt flashed across his eyes. He then slowly continued, "Jiang Fengmian may be a master of strategy, but he overlooked a crucial element: the human heart. Human hearts are both the most profound and unfathomable, and also the most vulnerable. He may be able to deceive others with his cleverness for a while, but time will pass, and the truth will eventually come to light. By then, he will not only lose the trust of others, but also lose all face and dignity."

After listening to their uncle's story, Xuanyuan Yue and Xuanyuan Yin had a deeper understanding of Jiang Fengmian.

At this time, Xuanyuan Fen said, "True wisdom is not used to calculate others, but to solve problems. Jiang Fengmian's cleverness is just a trivial means, and it will not achieve great things. I am afraid that only those 'fools' would easily believe it."

Xuanyuan Yue rubbed the tip of his nose awkwardly, a wry smile forming in his heart. His parents were also among those "fools," and Xuanyuan Yue quickly changed the subject, curling his lips slightly. With a sneer, he asked sarcastically, "These so-called 'sons of old friends' are all conspiracies orchestrated by Jiang Fengmian. How can he not be afraid of being exposed? Also, why has Yu Ziyuan never expressed any displeasure or criticism towards Jiang Fengmian or the parents of those 'sons of old friends'?"

Chaoyang elaborated, "Aying, you must understand that most people in this world tend to be cautious and self-protective, focusing on their own interests and comfort. Few are willing to delve into the true nature of things. Do you really think that no one has seen through Jiang Fengmian's actions over the years? In fact, it is not the case. It is simply because the Jiang family is powerful and their position is stable that many people are afraid, choose to remain silent, and even defend them. In this world, the truth is often obscured by the shadow of power and interests, and most people simply go with the flow, lacking the courage or willingness to uncover that false disguise."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yue leaned lightly on Xuanyuan's neck and shoulder, responding with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "Uncle, is this the true face of human nature that you often talk about?"

Xuanyuan Jing, standing beside her, gently patted Xuanyuan Yue's back, his eyes revealing a complex emotion. He said calmly, "Ayue, human nature is like the vast universe, containing both dazzling stars and deep, dark corners. What you have seen is only the tip of the iceberg."

Chaoyang took over the conversation, his tone firm and serious, saying, "But you must also remember that no matter how the world changes, as long as you stick to your heart and uphold the beliefs that you believe in, that's enough."

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Yue, Xuanyuan Jing, Xuanyuan Fen, and Xuanyuan Yin said firmly almost at the same time: "Uncle, we all understand."

After saying this, everyone glanced at each other and finally smiled at each other in tacit understanding.

Xuanyuan Yue continued to laugh, a thought suddenly flashing through her mind. It seemed her uncle had left a question unanswered. Xuanyuan Yue quickly pressed on, "Uncle, you haven't explained why Yu Ziyuan never expressed the slightest dissatisfaction or criticism towards Jiang Fengmian or the parents of those 'old friends' children?"

Chaoyang sighed. "Why would Yu Ziyuan bother to mess with those nameless people? The reason she's making such a fuss is actually because your mother, Cangse Sanren, is so famous that her every move becomes a focal point. If it were just those nameless people, wouldn't that be smearing Jiang Fengmian for no reason, and in turn, Yu Ziyuan's own reputation and standing within the Jiang family? Yu Ziyuan naturally understands what actions are most beneficial to her. As for those nameless people, they lack identity and background, and have no solid evidence to accuse Jiang Fengmian of having an affair with their parents, so there's no point in making a fuss. But your mother, Cangse Sanren, is different. She comes from a prominent family and holds a high status, which naturally arouses Yu Ziyuan's jealousy and suspicion. Furthermore, Jiang Fengmian's special treatment of Cangse Sanren has further resented Yu Ziyuan, leading her to repeatedly provoke trouble. This not only allows her to suppress your mother, Cangse Sanren, but also enhances her own standing and reputation within the aristocratic family. What a brilliant plan! Killing two birds with one stone!"

Xuanyuan Yue's face froze when he heard this, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes. He curled his lips slightly and said in a deep voice, "She is quite good at observing people's expressions."

Then, Xuanyuan Yue turned to look at Chaoyang, who was playing chess with Xuanyuan Fen, and sought Chaoyang's uncle's advice: "Uncle, what should we do next?"

Chaoyang shook his head slightly, a faint smile curling up the corners of his mouth. He said softly, "Didn't my uncle make it clear from the beginning? Give him a taste of his own medicine. Since Yu Ziyuan wants to be cuckolded, then let her wish come true. Let Jiang Fengmian also taste the bitter fruit of his own making, and let his romantic affairs become the gossip of the people of Xuanzheng Continent after dinner."

Then Xuanyuan Yue suddenly realized something and said, "My uncle means to send people to spread rumors in the Jiang family, saying that the sons of those old friends are Jiang Fengmian's illegitimate children?"

Chaoyang, playing chess leisurely, replied, "To dispel a rumor, you need to create another, bigger rumor. The more bizarre, the better."

Xuanyuan Yue frowned, somewhat puzzled: "But, can these rumors really be believed?"

At the side, Xuanyuan Jing handed Xuanyuan Yue a cup of tea. He took over the conversation and explained, "Does belief really matter? Ah Ying, what you spread is ultimately just a rumor, not the definitive truth. As long as more people are willing to discuss it, that's enough."

Xuanyuan Yue suddenly understood and nodded, indicating that she understood what Uncle Chaoyang meant. He wanted them to take advantage of Yu Ziyuan's jealousy and create some "evidence" for her, so that Jiang Fengmian's reputation as a "romantic" would spread throughout the world as a counterattack against Yu Ziyuan.

"Don't worry, uncle. I have my own way." Xuanyuan Yue's lips curled up into a sly smile, and he already had a plan in mind. "Ayin, let's go."

After saying that, he turned around and pulled Xuanyuan Yin away, ready to implement his plan.

Chaoyang continued to play chess with Xuanyuan Fen, while Xuanyuan Jing leisurely brewed and drank tea, seemingly unconcerned about what was about to happen.
