When the time comes, many people will be targeting you, the Holy Son. I'm sure a lot of people would love to see you make a fool of yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haters gonna hate. It is what it is,\" Xu Zimo responded calmly with a shrug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Man, you really are as steady as a mountain,\" Xia Zihe muttered, then said, \"Let me tell you, 'Holy Son' is just a title. Though your status is higher in the Sacred Ground, many core disciples don’t take you seriously in private.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Walk your own path. Why care what others think?\" Xu Zimo replied with a faint smile. \"As long as they don’t block my way, I don’t care.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just went out and asked around. Several heavyweight core disciples have returned,\" Xia Zihe said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their cultivation levels are at least at the Imperial Meridian stage. Can you handle that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the boat reaches the bridge, it will straighten itself,\" Xu Zimo replied with a smile and a wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment on Heaven Genesis Mountain, Jiang Xi'er came down from the mountain with an unpleasant expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words of Sacred Lord Xiao still echoed faintly in her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Sacred Ground. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Since the Sixth Grand Elder broke the rules, putting her in confinement is already showing her enough favor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xi'er took a deep breath and looked through the thick immortal mist, murmuring softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Zimo, this matter started because of you. You targeted Sister Baili for no reason, and even implicated my master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took one step into the air and headed straight for South Goose Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xu Zimo was the Holy Son, she felt no fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their generation of core disciples had cultivated decades longer than Xu Zimo’s. Naturally, they were stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless snowflakes scattered across the sky, a mighty spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the white snow fell, Jiang Xi'er's expression turned icy, her purple dress nearly frozen by the frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On South Goose Mountain, Xu Zimo suddenly felt a chill while sunbathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked toward the distant horizon and smiled at Xia Zihe: \"Your goddess is here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Xia Zihe was startled. Seeing the snow flying in the sky, he immediately realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way, she didn’t come here just to find me, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quite likely,\" Xu Zimo nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Zihe quickly adjusted his hair and asked Xu Zimo, \"How do I look? Handsome?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Handsome beyond measure,\" Xu Zimo nodded. \"About half as good-looking as me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the temperature in the sky dropped and the snow came closer,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Zihe stepped into the air and walked toward Jiang Xi'er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snow gradually dissipated, revealing Jiang Xi'er’s cold, frosty face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Zihe felt a jolt in his heart, something felt wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Sister Jiang,\" he greeted with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is something wrong?\" Jiang Xi'er asked coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Zihe quickly shook his head and stepped aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xi'er took a deep breath and looked down toward South Goose Mountain, shouting sternly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Zimo, get out here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was powerful, echoing across half the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disciples around the True Martial Sacred Ground looked over from afar, watching with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk, Junior Sister Jiang still has such a temper. No idea what this new Holy Son did to upset her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Heaven Genesis Mountain, Sacred Lord Xiao muttered with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good chance to test each other’s strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo looked up and smiled lightly. This kind of scene didn’t surprise him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be about the Sixth Elder. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have had any interaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo stayed reclining on his chair. Fighting didn’t interest him much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he had to fight, he’d crush the opponent in one blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Zihe frowned at the scene and asked, \"Junior Sister Jiang, did Zimo offend you somehow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This has nothing to do with you,\" Jiang Xi'er replied coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zimo is my master’s son. His affairs are my affairs,\" Xia Zihe replied firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what? Are you going to fight me?\" Jiang Xi'er asked with cold eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to trouble Zimo, then fighting isn’t a problem,\" Xia Zihe slowly drew the broad sword on his back, eyes sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough. This isn’t the place for you two to fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice came from South Goose Mountain, breaking the tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xi'er looked toward the voice and saw Xu Zimo slowly walking over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Zimo,\" she said each word harshly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t act like you’ve suffered so much. Some people brought this on themselves,\" Xu Zimo said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you really want to fight me, I’ll be waiting at the martial arts competition. Right now, it’s not the time or place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xu Zimo’s words, Jiang Xi'er took a deep breath and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew countless eyes were watching them, including some high-ranking figures. They would definitely stop any real fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, I’ll be waiting,\" Jiang Xi'er said, then turned and left with a flick of her sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many disciples hiding in the shadows were disappointed the fight didn’t happen and left as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Zihe looked at Xu Zimo and asked seriously, \"How did you provoke her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sometimes you don’t need to provoke anyone, trouble finds you,\" Xu Zimo replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Worried about your goddess?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re still joking at a time like this?\" Xia Zihe said. \"Even I’m not confident I can beat her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So little faith in me?\" Xu Zimo smiled, gazing into the distance and said faintly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This martial arts competition, I’m going to surprise everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial arts competition was set for three days later. In the meantime, the True Martial Sacred Ground remained unusually quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the calm before a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>",1155,"2026-06-06T01:06:40.721Z",1,"novelbin.me","967fb78069d0f11b805616d1d67c60ad76fe394849520a266348c418f74fa8e7","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-309","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-307",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
