"Uh, nothing." Jiang Cheng's eyes flickered, and he seemed a little hesitant.

He glanced at Meng Yao, his mind full of thoughts, but he finally decided not to say anything. His expression was a little unnatural, as if he was hiding some secret.

Jiang Cheng glanced at Meng Yao, thought about it, and decided not to say anything.

"Young Sect Master is not the kind of person who would hesitate to speak and keep things to himself. What you just wanted to say is related to Meng Yao?"

Meng Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of doubt in his eyes. It was no wonder that he was sensitive. After all, he grew up in that kind of place. If he didn't have some sense, he wouldn't be able to stay with his mother.

Meng Yao's tone was calm but contained an insight that could not be ignored. She noticed something was wrong with Jiang Cheng and wanted to get an answer from him.

The atmosphere in the yard became a little subtle, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Cheng and Meng Yao, waiting for Jiang Cheng's response.

Jiang Cheng frowned, secretly regretting his own gaffe.

He didn't know how to answer Meng Yao's question because he himself was not sure what he was thinking.

His eyes wandered, as if searching for the right words.

"This...Sister." Jiang Cheng was finally helpless and could only ask Zimu for help. His eyes were full of expectation, hoping that Zimu could help him out.

"Miss, Meng Yao has also heard from the Sect Master about what you have done in the past year and a half. The Young Sect Master should have discovered something just now." Meng Yao turned her gaze to Zi Mu, trying to get some clues from her.

"Hey, I don't know if it's because I've been collecting too much blood from Jin Guangshan... the Jin clan leader who left behind. I was a little dazzled just now and felt that you and Jin Zixuan's peacock were a little bit similar."

Jiang Cheng patted Meng Yao on the shoulder and said, "I was mistaken, don't mind it." There was a hint of teasing in Jiang Cheng's tone, but also a hint of embarrassment. He didn't expect that his momentary blurriness would cause such a big reaction.

After hearing what Jiang Cheng said, Meng Yao's eyes flashed with a hint of complex emotions and he forced a smile: "Young Sect Master is not wrong." There was a hint of bitterness in his smile, as if hiding a lot of helplessness.

"what?"

Jiang Cheng opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't expect Meng Yao to admit it.

"My mother did and...so I..." Meng Yao hesitated to speak, his eyes full of pain and struggle.

“That’s Brother Meng’s bad luck. However, you and Aunt Meng are now members of our Yunmeng Jiang Clan. What does that have to do with Sect Master Jin of Jinling Terrace?” Wei Wuxian’s tone contained a hint of disdain, and he was even more disdainful of Jin Guangshan.

Meng Shi was redeemed by Zimu five years ago. At that time, Zimu told her about what Jin Guangshan had done in the world of cultivation over the years.

Meng Shi didn't believe it at first, but on the way Zimu sent Meng Shi and Meng Yao to Jinling, he met many women wearing pearl buttons on their bodies. Those women were either alone or with children.

The women had different social status, but the only thing they had in common was that they were all very beautiful.

After Meng Shi patiently asked several women, she gave up on going to Jinlingtai to ask Meng Yao to recognize her relatives.

In fact, after so many years, Meng Shi had long forgotten what Jin Guangshan looked like. How could she still have any love for him? She just wanted to free her son from the label of being the son of a prostitute.

In addition, Jin Guangshan was a member of the immortal sect, so he thought that no matter what happened, he would always tolerate his son.

But Meng Shi was completely desperate along the way. She directly begged Zimu to take Meng Yao away and told Meng Yao that he should never have anything to do with Lanling Jin Clan in his life.

......

Zimu looked at Meng Yao indifferently and asked, "What do you think of what your mother said?"

"I listen to my mother." Meng Yao smiled bitterly and continued, "Actually, I know my mother was deceived, but I can't say it."

Zi Mu was a little surprised: "Are you willing to accept this? If you are lucky enough to be recognized, even if you are born out of wedlock, you will be considered a legitimate son of the Jin family."

"That's impossible. The Lanling Jin Clan only has one legitimate son. That means both Madam Jin and Patriarch Jin have reached a tacit consensus that the Lanling Jin Clan will only have children born to Madam Jin."

Meng Yao's tone was full of determination. He had a clear understanding of Lanling Jin Clan's situation.

"You are very smart."

......

Later, the mother and son of the Meng family returned to Yunmeng with Zimu. If Meng Yao did not choose this path, Zimu would keep an eye on Meng Yao, and if he had any other thoughts, Zimu would kill him.

After all, people are biased. Zimu understands Meng Yao's darkening in the play and feels sorry for his experience, but Zimu is not a saint and it is impossible for him to be nice to everyone.

Meng Yao chose a way to survive, a way for him and Meng Shi to survive.

The Yunmeng Jiang Clan also had many female disciples. Not long after Meng Shi arrived at the Yunmeng Lotus Pier, she became a female teacher, teaching those female disciples some poetry, songs and guqin instruments.

Meng Yao also stayed in Lotus Pier to study and practice because of her average talent.

----------------------

In addition to Zimu and Lan Wangji, Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng are slowly digesting the shock of Meng Yao's life experience.

Jiang Cheng opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Seeing Meng Yao was a little embarrassed, Wei Wuxian accepted the good comfort: "Brother Meng, since you and Master Meng have chosen to come to Yunmeng with Senior Sister, then be well. Don't worry, Yunmeng Jiang Clan will be your home."

"Right, Jiang Cheng."

"Yes, that's right. No matter what happens to the Lanling Jin Sect, you are now a member of the Yunmeng Jiang Sect. We can always protect you."

Meng Yao looked at Zi Mu and the other two with gratitude, holding back the mist in her eyes and said, "Thank you, Miss, Young Master, and Young Master Wei. Meng Yao will work hard and live up to everyone's expectations."

Well, now that everything has been said, let's stop dwelling on the past that can't be changed." Zimu's voice was clear and firm, as if it could dispel all the haze.

Wei WuXian also nodded and said, “That’s right, Brother Meng, don’t worry, no one can bully you with us here.”

"Wei Wuxian is right, Meng Yao, as long as Wei Buxian doesn't bully you, no one in Lotus Pier will bully you."

"Junior sister——"

"Acheng and Axian have grown up and know how to protect their family." Zimu's eyes were full of satisfaction. She looked at Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian, feeling deeply moved. She had watched these two grow up and practice.

Jiang Cheng curled his lips and said, "Sister, I have always known that Wei Wuxian is the least reliable."

"In my heart, Xianxian is the most reliable." Wei Wuxian raised his chin proudly, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Bah, Xianxian, Wei Wuxian, aren't you disgusting?" Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and suddenly felt that even if Wei Wuxian really got married, he wouldn't feel so bad.

Without Wei Wuxian by his side, Jiang Cheng felt that he could live ten more years.

“Well, Xianxian, why don’t you ask Wangji first whether he thinks you are reliable.”

After hearing what his beloved senior sister said, Wei Wuxian suddenly felt that she no longer loved him after Lan Xichen came into the picture.

"Lan Zhan..."

"......" Lan Wangji was caught by Wei Wuxian's eye attack and sighed, "Reliable, Wei Ying is the most reliable."

"Hahaha......"

Meng Yao felt warm at heart as he looked at everyone. He knew that he had found a true sense of belonging in the Yunmeng Jiang Clan.

He secretly vowed in his heart that he must practice hard and make contributions to the Jiang family to repay everyone's kindness.
