Why did you lie to me?!\" Xu Zimo roared, charging straight toward the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know I always treated you as the most important person in my life? Why did even you lie to me?!\" Xu Zimo blocked their path, shouting at the girl in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, what do you think you're doing?\" the golden-haired young man beside her frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was all a lie, wasn’t it? I just don’t understand what I had that was worth lying to,\" Xu Zimo ignored the golden-haired man, glaring coldly at the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crazy bastard, looking for death?\" the golden-haired youth stepped in front of Xu Zimo, speaking down to him with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Annoying,\" Xu Zimo said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unsheathed Shadow Tyrant in one swift motion. With a single strike, thunder rumbled, deep purple lightning surged along the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden-haired youth clearly hadn’t expected Xu Zimo to act so abruptly. Before he could even react, his head had already separated from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood dripped steadily from the curved blade. Xu Zimo stood there, eyes still locked on the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The death of the golden-haired youth didn’t stir the two old men beside her. Even the girl disguised as a refined young lord only furrowed her brow slightly, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you mistake me for someone else?\" the girl asked with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mistaken?\" Xu Zimo chuckled bitterly. \"Your name is Lan Ke’er. You said you lived in Purple Fragrance Village. You told me your three biggest dreams in life were: To watch a sunrise and sunset with the one you love. To visit your favorite lavender fields with them. And to travel the entire continent together, then settle down in a hidden paradise when you're old. All of that was a lie, wasn’t it?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Xu Zimo paused, suddenly laughing bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Purple Fragrance Village, purple lavender… Even the village name was made up. That place doesn’t even exist, does it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know about the things I’ve always wanted to do...?\" Lan Ke’er’s eyes widened slightly as she asked, \"The rest is true, but I don’t live in Purple Fragrance Village. I’m from the Middle Continent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Middle Continent?\" Xu Zimo was stunned, then realization hit. \"The Lan Clan of the Middle Continent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You still haven’t told me how you knew my wishes,\" Lan Ke’er nodded, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her nod, Xu Zimo stood there like he'd been struck by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she really was from the Lan Clan, then everything she’d told him before… must have come from the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, aside from hiding her background, she hadn’t lied about anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo, who had stormed over full of righteous fury, suddenly felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head. His whole outburst… was painfully awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You still haven’t answered me,\" Lan Ke’er pressed, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry… I mistook you for someone else,\" Xu Zimo forced a smile. \"You just look like a friend of mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he grabbed Ren Pingsheng nearby and quickly said, \"See? I told you it wasn’t her. But no, you insisted. And now look what happened. Totally the wrong person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling along a completely bewildered Ren Pingsheng, Xu Zimo turned and hurried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey!\" Lan Ke’er called after him. \"Don’t say I didn’t warn you, that guy you just killed? He was the grandson of a core elder of the Myriad Beasts Sect. You can still run while there’s time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Zimo walked off, Daoist Sorrow frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss, should I go bring him back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s follow him for now,\" Lan Ke’er replied, still watching Xu Zimo with a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t too surprising that he knew her name, anyone could find that out with some digging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those three wishes, traveling the continent with someone she loved, retiring together in seclusion…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were her deepest dreams, things she had never told anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was unsettling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo and Ren Pingsheng found an inn and rented two rooms. Then they went downstairs to grab some food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren Pingsheng asked curiously, \"Young Master, do you know those people from earlier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know her. But she doesn’t know me,\" Xu Zimo replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lan Clan, a mysterious family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend had it that every generation of the Lan Clan had a secret mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew what that mission was, except maybe the Grand Emperors of each era. But even they chose to stay silent about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike other great clans, the Lan Clan never forced its descendants to do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the ancient mission passed down through the ages, one could refuse it, and the clan would never object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t interfere in marriage either. Even if a member married a mountain peasant and chose a secluded life, it was allowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why, once Xu Zimo learned that Lan Ke’er was from the Lan Clan, he was convinced, she had never lied to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo wasn’t planning to reconnect with Lan Ke’er just yet. Even if she had forgotten him, they could still get to know each other again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew, his top priority now was to cultivate and grow stronger, not get tangled up in romance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he knew she was from the Lan Clan, there would be another chance to meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though a part of him desperately wanted to stay by her side, he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now wasn’t the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps sounded at the door. Xu Zimo looked up, and saw Lan Ke’er walk in, followed by Daoist Sorrow and Daoist Joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them sat at a nearby table. Lan Ke’er set down her folding fan and stared at Xu Zimo with interest, eyes unblinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were anyone else, Xu Zimo would have already drawn his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the girl…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went quiet and started to stand, planning to head back upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he stood, a group of people stormed into the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They clearly bore beast-like features, disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who just killed my grandson Qi’er?!\" an old man roared as he strode forward, scanning the room until his eyes locked onto Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This elder released the aura of an Imperial Meridian Realm cultivator. His mouth was long and sharp, resembling a roc’s beak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head was almost bald, and his eyes were sharp and gloomy, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo glanced at him once, then kept eating without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? You have the guts to kill, but not to admit it? Scared now?\" the old man began walking step by step toward Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold him off. I’ll handle the rest. That okay?\" Xu Zimo asked, setting down his chopsticks and turning to Ren Pingsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been wanting to test myself against an Imperial Meridian Realm cultivator anyway,\" Ren Pingsheng grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After inheriting the legacy of Grand Emperor Tun Ri, he was confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he couldn’t win, he was sure he could hold out long enough…\u003C\u002Fp>",1173,"2026-06-06T01:06:40.721Z",1,"novelbin.me","96ded86461eeda0fe359fc4ce7e6090223bd7ba74729c75e1cad4fc0fc679173","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-123","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-121",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
