We must send only the best of our disciples. Those who are strong, capable, and can help in obtaining the inheritance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you implying Bai Zihan is none of those?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng’s tone grew colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clan Leader, let’s be honest. Bai Zihan is only good at creating trouble and would definitely become a hindrance. We are not just saying this selfishly but also for his own safety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Wei explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Bai Zihan’s recent achievement and the news about his Late Golden Core Stage cultivation might have spread far and wide, it didn’t mean that he was all that powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, for his age, Bai Zihan could be considered quite talented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Bai Clan’s elders were still skeptical about his combat abilities, which they hadn’t seen for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, sending Bai Zihan meant that other Bai Clan members would have to babysit him and might lose the opportunity to obtain the inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were also those who opposed it because they didn’t want to risk Bai Zihan obtaining the opportunity, though they believed the chances were very slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you think that my son is not qualified?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng asked with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly! Clan Leader, let’s not take any risks and endanger our heirs’ lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Wei said, trying to frame his argument as concern for Bai Zihan’s safety, though his true intentions were obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng also wouldn’t have liked Bai Zihan risking his life, considering how weak he was perceived to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bai Zihan had already expressed his desire to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as cultivators, it is normal to risk one’s life for opportunities because that is what cultivation is all about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they say it is dangerous, does not going mean avoiding danger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wrong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if your enemies entered the ruins and obtained the opportunity instead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then you could only kiss your future goodbye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why it was normal—necessary, even—to take risks, especially when considering that this was an opportunity one might not encounter again in a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng let out a deep sigh, his gaze sweeping across the assembled elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are all so worried about Bai Zihan being a burden? Fine. We will let the participants decide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders exchanged confused glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean, Clan Leader?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Bai Wei asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We will gather all the selected participants—the top disciples, those you all consider capable. If Bai Zihan can convince them that he is not a burden, then he will join them. If they reject him outright, then he stays.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the elders looked hesitant, but a few seemed satisfied with this solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they believed the top disciples would easily reject Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you wish, Clan Leader!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Bai Wei finally nodded, a hint of a smug smile on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(I have done all you wanted. Now, everything is in your hands, son!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Summon all the chosen participants immediately. We will settle this here and now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Servants rushed out, their footsteps echoing through the grand hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within minutes, the hall was filled with the Bai Clan’s top young talents—over hundred young men and women, each radiating powerful auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most were at the Golden Core Stage, and a few had even reached the Nascent Soul Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the pride of the Bai Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why were we called? Is this a strategy meeting for the ancient ruins?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look! All the elders are here too. This must be something important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murmurs spread among the gathered disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, we have summoned you here for an important matter,\" Bai Tianheng began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you know, the ancient ruin has appeared, and you all are those who will represent our Bai Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, his gaze turning cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But there is a dispute among the elders. Some believe that my son, Bai Zihan, should not be included. They fear he may become a burden to you all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young disciples murmured among themselves—some with surprise, others with amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many were surprised that Bai Zihan would even be considered, given his previous reputation as a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the recent news about his cultivation, which was impressive, many still doubted his strength, assuming it was a hollow shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High cultivation without the skill to utilize even half of its power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were also amused that their young master had the courage to enter such a dangerous place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A coward going to a place where thousands would die?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter his status, once inside, it would be every man for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, they would work as a team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if not, they would have to fend for themselves—something they doubted Bai Zihan could manage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To resolve this, we will let you decide. Bai Zihan will make his case, and you can judge for yourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if on cue, Bai Zihan strolled in, his expression calm and confident, his gaze sweeping across the gathered elites of the Bai Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Everyone is already gathered here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, glancing around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were some faces he recognized well and others he hadn’t seen for years, like the older disciples who were mostly in the Nascent Soul Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of them had already left the clan, only occasionally returning to visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their feelings were mostly neutral—they had little to do with Bai Zihan and no strong opinions about him joining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the younger generation, like Bai Jian, it was completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just seeing Bai Zihan made them angry, and the idea that he wanted to join them because of his status made them even more furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Want to convince us?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way!\u003C\u002Fp>",1060,"2026-05-28T18:17:14.491Z","2026-06-01T04:28:34.960Z",1,"novelbin.me","be3df3d67da2530a37ae38d06c18535f7e082926e89c8f33f5ceba5983776d16","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-116","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-114",580,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fturns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-cover.jpg"]
