She looked peaceful, yet refined—like a moonlit lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As footsteps approached, her head tilted slightly. Then her eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Zihan’er?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was a mix of surprise and disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, she was already up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zihan’er!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rushed across the garden like a gentle breeze—then, like a bolt of wind, swept her son into a tight embrace before he could even brace for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ARGH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan almost suffocated under his mother’s embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve gotten taller again! But you—why are you so thin? Are you not eating well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned back slightly, gripping his shoulders as she scanned his face with intense scrutiny, then pinched his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at this complexion! You’re pale! Missing sleep? Are you cultivating too hard again?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan’s lips twitched helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, anyone could tell that he was doing better than before, especially with his ascension to the Soul Formation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as cultivators, what is not eating? What is missing sleep?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those things didn’t affect them much. Even if one went over the limit, there were pills to solve those problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew his mother was overreacting, as always.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Mother, I’m fine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine?! You call this fine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She huffed, brushing a strand of hair from his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I swear, if you’ve lost even a single jin of weight since last year—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Qingyuan cleared his throat with a slightly awkward expression from a few steps away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, maybe let the boy breathe? He didn’t come all the way here just to get pinched to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuelan reluctantly let go but kept one hand protectively on Zihan’s shoulder as she turned, a bit sheepishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, right. Sorry. I was just... surprised. I wasn’t expecting him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced back at Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I’m so happy you came. I missed you so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I missed you too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan said, offering a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well,\" Qingyuan said with a grin, \"your nephew has something to ask you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her full attention back to her son, eyes gleaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it, Zihan’er? Whatever you need, just say the word.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan rubbed the back of his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came to invite you,\" he said. \"To celebrate my birthday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuelan blinked—then her eyes widened in realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your birthday... of course!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clasped her hands together, a proud gleam lighting her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could I forget?! Don’t worry, Zihan—I’ve already prepared two gifts for you. One for this year—and one to make up for missing last year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was practically bubbling with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re going to love them. I promise! I’ve been working on one of them for over a year—it’s not just rare, it’s perfectly suited for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really didn’t have to go that far...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waved her hand sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s your birthday! My baby boy’s birthday! You only turn this age once, and I won’t let anyone say the Mu Clan doesn’t know how to dote on their own!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Baby boy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan muttered, horrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already turning 17, and many people would tremble at the mention of his name. Still being called a baby boy by his mother was another kind of tribulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Qingyuan couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, enough already. He’s not five anymore. He’s almost an adult! A Soul Formation Realm cultivator, no less—and already engaged, too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laughter died instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuelan froze, eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Engaged?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Qingyuan blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beat of silence passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh no!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately looked away, sipping his tea a little too quickly and pretending to admire the flowers blooming at the edge of the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuelan turned back to her son, her grip tightening slightly on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zihan’er,\" she said slowly. \"What was that about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean about me being engaged?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... yeah. I was engaged last year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said in a quiet voice, the pitch dangerously even.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah! Didn’t Father inform you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked confused, scratching his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He did not,\" Mu Yuelan hissed through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then her gaze shifted—not to rage, but to something colder and far more dangerous: maternal indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That man really—he dares arrange something this important without even speaking to me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuelan’s lips curled into a cold, dangerous smile—one that sent shivers down Bai Zihan’s spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He really asked for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her spiritual Qi surged slightly, the surrounding herbs trembling as if sensing their mistress’s fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother—?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Bai Zihan could say anything else, Mu Yuelan stood up, her sleeves flicking with a crisp snap as she turned on her heel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll kill him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that declaration, she soared into the air in a flash of light-blue robes, wind billowing behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair fluttered like a comet’s tail as she flew off across the estate, vanishing beyond the distant pavilions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan stood frozen for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Did she really just say she was going to kill Father?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t understand why she was this angry. Sure, getting engaged without telling her wasn’t ideal—but to threaten murder over it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Wait, actually... knowing their relationship, maybe I do understand.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan rubbed his temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His parents’ relationship had already been walking a tightrope for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought that with the matter of Bai Xinyue’s Dao Bone finally resolved, the tension between them would fade—but this might only make things worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spun on his heel and ran down the stone path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Elder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached the Main Hall where Bai Ren was still enjoying a cup of medicinal tea, sighing in comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, Zihan? What is it—?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ren asked, seeing that Bai Zihan was in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have a problem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man frowned, placing the teacup down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother stormed off saying she’s going to kill Father!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ren blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stood up slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh dear! Did things escalate to this point?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think we should go back. Right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder stroked his beard, then sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, we should!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well? What are you waiting for? Gather the guards. We’ll take the ship back immediately before she gets there first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the one sitting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t talk back to your elders! Go, go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peaceful day at the Mu Clan suddenly turned into a flurry of motion as Bai Zihan and Grand Elder Bai Ren quickly gathered their escort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever was waiting back at the Bai Clan... it certainly wasn’t going to be peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>",1139,"2026-05-28T18:17:14.491Z","2026-06-01T04:28:34.960Z",1,"novelbin.me","62fcd8aff3984133690524b81b02502b357ba5e9b26b295dfb54d5a241734046","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-202","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-100",580,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fturns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-cover.jpg"]
