My master and my father both want to thank you,” Bai Yaoyao said quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine. It wasn’t a big deal, and we’ll be leaving tomorrow,” Xu Zimo replied, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they chatted, the battle at the center of the plaza was reaching its final stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stronger of the two young fighters let out a roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His muscles bulged so much that his shirt ripped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his opponent over his head and hurled him forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the man flying toward them, the crowd around cried out and quickly stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo frowned slightly, the man was being thrown directly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, Xu Zimo used spiritforce to stop the man in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man landed on his feet, breathing hard and clearly shaken. He quickly bowed and thanked Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo nodded, then narrowed his eyes at the bulky youth who had thrown him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth walked up with a smug look and said with a smile, “My bad. I only used half my strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo was almost certain the guy had done it on purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn’t know each other, why would he target him for no reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a Mountain River Sect disciple walked over and smiled at Bai Yaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Bai, you’re here too? Come to watch our tryouts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yaoyao nodded calmly. “Young Master Song, my father asked me to tell Elder Blue River that if your sect isn’t in a rush after the tryouts, he’s prepared food and drinks at the residence to host you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No rush at all! Please thank City Lord Bai, we’ll definitely attend,” the young man replied cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious to anyone watching that this Song fellow had strong feelings for Bai Yaoyao, his expression made it clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo thought back to his friendly chat with Bai Yaoyao just moments ago…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then connected the dots: Song was an official disciple of the Mountain River Sect. The muscular youth clearly wanted to join that sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting that together, Xu Zimo realized, he’d just gotten dragged into someone else’s petty jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, if you’re fine, then let it go,” the muscular youth said dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have a death wish?” Xu Zimo turned and said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This man is now a disciple of Mountain River Sect,” Song said with a laugh. “And you weren’t hurt. No need to escalate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Bai, didn’t I save your life before? Shouldn’t you repay that?” Xu Zimo asked her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please tell me how,” Bai Yaoyao replied, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill him,” Xu Zimo said, pointing at the bulky youth. “Call it repayment for saving your life, and we’ll be even.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bulky youth’s expression changed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yaoyao slowly turned her gaze toward him. Her eyes were calm, unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Song,” the bulky youth, named Wang He, turned to Song in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yaoyao’s father was the City Lord of White Bone City, and her grandfather was the famed White Bone Sage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these parts, his name carried more weight than even the Vast Immortal Sacred Ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song forced a smile and said, “Miss Bai, Wang He is now one of our sect’s chosen disciples. Elder Blue River personally selected him. I doubt your father would approve of this. Is it worth straining relations between your family and our sect over an outsider?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How I handle things is none of your business, Young Master Song,” Bai Yaoyao replied coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she waved her hand. The crowd parted as a group of armored city guards rushed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss,” the leader, dressed in black armor, bowed respectfully to Bai Yaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take him. Let Young Master Xu deal with him,” she said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang He panicked. He shouted, “Brother Song, help me! I did it for you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What nonsense are you spouting?” Song’s face darkened, and he scolded him sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards didn’t wait, they rushed forward and subdued Wang He, dragging him to Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have no personal grudge,” Xu Zimo said, smiling at the terrified Wang He. “Tell me who ordered you, and maybe I’ll let you go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was him! Brother Song told me to send you a warning!” Wang He yelled without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liar! Wang He, even facing death you try to drag me down?” Song snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll give you one more chance,” Xu Zimo said, patting Wang He on the shoulder. “Kill him, and I’ll let you leave White Bone City safely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards released Wang He. He squinted his eyes and roared as he charged at Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re insane!” Song yelled in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two men fought, Xu Zimo chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This kind of fight between insects is pointless. Better to kill them both,” the God Emperor said beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You wouldn’t understand. Dog-eat-dog battles are entertaining,” Xu Zimo said with a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the elder sitting on the bone chair stood up, having noticed the commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on here?” he asked, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Blue River, Wang He went crazy! He’s slandering me and trying to kill me!” Song shouted while pushing Wang He away with a palm strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough!” the elder in gray slapped his palm down. The pressure of his Imperial Meridian Realm cultivation pinned both men to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s happening?” he demanded as he walked over, clearly annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song quickly explained the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing it, the elder snorted and turned to Bai Yaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Bai, this matter concerns our Mountain River Sect. It would be best if your father discussed this with me. You should step back for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s got you so fired up, Brother Blue River?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a loud voice came from outside the plaza. The crowd parted to make way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man walked in, followed by a group of soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a long white robe that wrapped around his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin was pale, so smooth and soft it looked almost unreal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shape of bones showed through his face, as if he had no flesh, just skin stretched over bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him stood a man dressed in green robes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1041,"2026-06-06T01:06:54.179Z",1,"novelbin.me","79a3f172d212f71a4c5be042280a99e80582ee69122930aedfafd1f851c323f6","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-651","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-549",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
