My son’s back, and he’ll probably come find me at Green Mountain,” said Xu Qingshan, standing up. “That rascal... years without coming home, and the moment he returns he beats up a fellow disciple. I need to give him a good talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at Xu Qingshan. Though he said that, his proud expression and the barely hidden grin on his face told the real story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All anyone could think was: “What a hypocrite. You talk about discipline, but you’re clearly proud as hell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let the kids handle their own matters. We old folks shouldn’t interfere,” said Sacred Lord Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Xu Qingshan leave, he turned to the silent core elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So? What do you all think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A fierce tiger returns to the forest, a true dragon dives into the sea. We old guys probably aren’t his match anymore. What more is there to say?” the Second Elder said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingshan has a fine son,” Sacred Lord Xiao sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo left the battle platform and went straight to Green Mountain, where his father lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That peaceful mountain hidden in mist hadn’t changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every flower, every blade of grass, every tree and leaf...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo felt like everything else in the world had changed while he’d been away, except this place, it was just as he remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quiet stream flowed down from the mountaintop, and a small cypress-wood hut sat beside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Zimo arrived, his mother, Wenren Yun, and father Xu Qingshan were already waiting at the top of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother pulled him into a tight hug and burst into tears. Xu Zimo’s eyes turned red as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the world might leave you, be tied to you by interest, but only your parents love you unconditionally, expecting nothing in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve grown up so much. As your father, I feel like I can’t keep up anymore,” Xu Qingshan said with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo looked at his father, he had broken through to the God Meridian Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watching your child grow up, isn’t that a source of pride for a father?” Xu Zimo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I haven’t helped you much along your path,” Xu Qingshan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was true, Xu Zimo had rarely stayed at the True Martial Sacred Ground. Most of his journey had been outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You gave me life and raised me. That’s already enough,” Xu Zimo shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xu Qingshan felt like his son had truly grown up, grown to the point where he no longer needed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a hatchling becoming an eagle, now able to soar alone and even become someone others could rely on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingshan smiled to himself and sighed silently, “Time really flies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Yun pulled Xu Zimo to sit in front of the thatched hut and began asking him about everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo was happy to share. He talked about his experiences, the trip to the Northern Continent, what happened at his grandfather’s place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from a few secrets, he told them everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are countless cultivators in the world, many with lifespans over ten thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some of them, children are no longer about affection, just a way to pass on their bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Zimo felt his mother was the simplest kind, someone who had given her whole life to her husband and son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they chatted, Wenren Yun suddenly asked, “Mo’er, is there any girl you like?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, that’s kind of a sudden change of topic,” Xu Zimo said, holding his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know you have big ambitions, and you may not spend much time at home. But you should at least leave behind a child. I can help raise them and promise to raise them better than I raised you,” Wenren Yun said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With your talent and our lineage backing you, what woman in this world could even match you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, I just remembered Ruhu and Little Gui were looking for me. I’m gonna go now,” Xu Zimo said, standing up quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t leave behind an heir, that’s the greatest disrespect!” Wenren Yun shouted at his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, she turned and glared at Xu Qingshan. “And you, you just let him off like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A child grows up. He has his own ideas,” Xu Qingshan smiled, pulling her into an embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at his residence on South Goose Mountain, Xu Zimo felt a strange mix of familiarity and distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time had flown, it felt like a lifetime had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two maids, Chunxiao and Xiaqiu, had kept the courtyard tidy all this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xu Zimo return, they were overjoyed. They prepared hot water for him to wash away the dust of his travels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo gave them both some cultivation items as rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These items were useless to him now but were priceless treasures to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bathing with their help, Xu Zimo came out to find Lin Ruhu and Little Gui waiting in the pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Gui hadn’t changed much, just looked a bit more mature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo still remembered the first time they met, when Little Gui introduced himself with exaggerated flattery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Lin Ruhu, he had grown taller and more muscular, radiating strong pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Zimo.” they greeted together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How have you two been?” Xu Zimo sat down with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pretty good. But Zimo, things must’ve been tough out there for you,” Lin Ruhu replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time when I leave, it might be a long while, maybe not until the Heaven’s Will appears will I return,” Xu Zimo said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are your plans for the future? Tell me. I’ll do what I can to help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t need any help,” Little Gui laughed. “Senior Brother, Shengnan and I are married now. She’s pregnant too. My only wish is to live quietly with her and our child for the rest of my life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Shengnan was once part of the Celestial Race. She gave Xu Zimo the Tree of Life, and he had promised to destroy Heaven-Severing Sacred Ground for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about you, Ruhu?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother, I used to want to follow in your footsteps. But I realized, your pace is too fast. I can’t keep up,” Lin Ruhu said with a free, easy smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now I’ve understood what my own path is. No one can carry you forever. I want to walk it alone. Maybe someday, we’ll meet again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xu Zimo suddenly thought of a saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peak of martial cultivation is lonely, is desolate, is a long, endless pursuit, where it’s cold at the top, and few can endure the height.\u003C\u002Fp>",1169,"2026-06-06T01:06:54.179Z",1,"novelbin.me","5de2fa47556823c34447e9523fc423d2d8111c2e4b09b26b8e5e9773a9d13098","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-510","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-508",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
