The pain alone was unbearable for an average person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the Wan Clan saved her later, she would likely be traumatized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding crowd was completely silent, unable to speak from the shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Wenren Suo clapped and cheered at the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cousin Zimo, let’s hurry home. Grandpa’s been talking about you lately, worried something might’ve happened on the road,” Wenren Suo walked up with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo then introduced the two members of the Third Division to Wenren Suo. From the looks of it, Wenren Suo was quite familiar with the Seven Divisions as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Third Division needed to report back to the imperial palace, they parted ways with Xu Zimo after reaching Phoenix Wing City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of Phoenix Wing City, it was one of the most famous cities in the Northern Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how big it truly was, it's said that a regular person could walk along the outer wall for months and still not reach the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From afar, the grand city stood tall upon the vast land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its walls were made of greenstone, with a large gate on each side, north, south, east, and west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each main gate had multiple smaller gates within hundreds or even thousands of meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city wall extended southeast and eventually vanished into the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a bird’s eye view, the layout of the city was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The north housed the royal family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The east was controlled by the Wan Clan, while the west belonged to the Wenren Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The south was home to scattered cultivators and various other powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were three superpowers in this city, its strength unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by Wenren Suo, Xu Zimo passed through the west gate and entered the Wenren Estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo noticed many people along the way were familiar with Wenren Suo and greeted him warmly. No one stopped them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wenren Clan was situated at the center of the western part of the city. Unlike the side branches, this area was home to direct descendants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wenren estate had been lively recently due to the upcoming birthday celebration of the Patriarch, Wenren Jingshi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful figures from within the Phoenix Perch Empire and from other nations brought gifts to celebrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Wenren Suo’s lead, Xu Zimo planned to visit his grandfather immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large plaque hung above the greenwood gate of the estate. The characters “Wenren Residence” were written in gold, glinting under the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The estate covered a vast area, surrounded by all kinds of spirit trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two walked inside, they soon heard a voice nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Suo, with Grandpa’s birthday coming up, you should stay close to home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Suo paused and turned to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a nearby pavilion stood three young men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two on the sides seemed to be side-branch descendants, clearly flattering the man in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The central youth wore a purple robe. He stood tall, reading a book in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had sharp features, his long hair tied neatly in a bun, and deep, unreadable eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him, Wenren Suo sighed and said helplessly, “Got it, big bro.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s that?” the youth looked at Xu Zimo and asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s Aunt Wenren Yun’s son, Xu Zimo. You probably didn’t see him when we were kids, since you weren’t around much,” Wenren Suo explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he introduced him to Xu Zimo, “This is my big brother, Wenren Li. He’s also your cousin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re Cousin Zimo,” Wenren Li smiled and said, “Since it’s your first time back here, Suo will show you around. First, go visit Grandpa.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Cousin Li,” Xu Zimo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Wenren Suo led him deeper into the estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo had no impression of Wenren Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandfather Wenren Jingshi had five children in total, giving Xu Zimo two uncles and two aunts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Suo and Wenren Li were sons of his second uncle, Wenren Zhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that Wenren Li had been sent to Heavenly Dao Academy from a young age and rarely returned home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Xu Zimo had never met him, only heard his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wenren Clan was massive. With the uncles all having children of their own, Xu Zimo had more than ten cousins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Wenren Suo further in, they saw fewer and fewer people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, it was completely quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandpa likes peace and quiet,” Wenren Suo explained. “Unless he summons us, we rarely see him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they chatted, they finally reached their destination: Serenity Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quiet all around, with a large pond in front. The buildings were made of purple nanmu wood, which gave off a calming fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wenren Suo approached the door and tidied his clothes, preparing to knock,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep voice rang from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come in. I haven’t seen Momo in so long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Suo pushed the door open and walked in with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandpa, I’ve mastered the meridian technique you taught me last time. Don’t I deserve a reward?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he spoke, his expression turned flat upon seeing the room’s interior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo also entered, not having time to take in the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front, two people sat on meditation mats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was an old man with white hair and a long white beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was a young man in a blue robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandfather,” Xu Zimo smiled and called out when he saw the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah,” Wenren Jingshi laughed heartily, responding as he looked at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come closer, let Grandpa have a good look. Last time your mother took you away, you were just a child. Now you’ve grown.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Jingshi nodded with satisfaction. “It’s good to see you grown up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xu Zimo could speak, Wenren Suo’s face suddenly turned sour, and he let out a heavy snort.\u003C\u002Fp>",1058,"2026-06-06T01:06:40.721Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c753a0300958bb11d66f34011cc545c41343a246c75f158238a5ab0c2600386","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-446","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-444",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
