He almost jumped up in surprise, suspecting that she was scheming something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after a long silence, it seemed like Chu Ziyan was just seriously apologizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry. This is nothing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not knowing what to say to the apologetic Chu Ziyan, he could only express his honest thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really, he hadn't thought much about what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he weren't engaged to Chu Ziyan, as long as he was the one who came to the Heaven Sword Sect, those disciples would have troubled him anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only reason they thought they could act this way was that they all believed he was unworthy of joining the Heaven Sword Sect and of being Chu Ziyan's fiancé.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't care either way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, more than that, he found it amusing. After all, most of the people in the Bai Clan feared him and never retaliated against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making these disciples submit could be a new source of entertainment for him—at least, that was what Bai Zihan was feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(In the end, I am a villain!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan thought while self-reflecting on his perspective of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never considered compromising or trying to be friendly with those people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His first instinct was to toy with them and make them realize who they were messing with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha… Indeed, something like this wouldn't affect Young Master Bai, who is famous for making trouble everywhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ziyan laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Tsk! One moment you pretend to be apologetic, and the next, you make fun of me.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, let's go to the admission office. We need to register you as an Inner Disciple of the Heaven Sword Sect. Xueqing should be waiting for us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the two of them made their way to the admission office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During that time, many people were looking at them, probably drawn to Chu Ziyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were also those glaring at Bai Zihan with expressions completely opposite to those admiring Chu Ziyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan could really feel that he wasn't welcomed by these disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they reached the admission office, where Chu Ziyan spotted Bai Xueqing and immediately made her way toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The admission office of the Heaven Sword Sect was located within a grand hall, its architecture exuding an aura of prestige and authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Bai Zihan and Chu Ziyan stepped inside, the air grew tense. The disciples present immediately took notice, whispering among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front of the hall, Bai Xueqing was already waiting, her arms crossed, her face carrying an expression of mild annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been handling Bai Zihan's admission process while waiting for him to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, judging from her irritated gaze, things weren't going smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chu Ziyan approached, Bai Xueqing sighed and shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're refusing his admission,\" she said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan raised an eyebrow, his amusement growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? On what grounds? Wasn't it already agreed that Bai Zihan would be admitted as a disciple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xueqing gestured toward an elder sitting behind a large desk, his expression one of cold disapproval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Elder Lu, one of the elders in charge of sect affairs. From the way he looked at Bai Zihan, it was clear he wanted nothing to do with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Bai Clan might be powerful, but that doesn't mean we'll blindly accept just anyone as an Inner Disciple,\" Elder Lu said, his tone sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Heaven Sword Sect has its standards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ziyan frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Lu, Bai Zihan's admittance was already approved by my master and the sect's higher-ups. Why are you making things difficult now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Lu sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if there was approval, the final admission process requires the acknowledgment of the elder in charge. As an elder, I have the authority to deny anyone who does not meet the standards of our sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting… So despite the decision being made by those above you, you think you have the authority to overturn it? Truly ignorant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Lu's face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bai Zihan, can't you keep your mouth shut for a second?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xueqing reprimanded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Elder Lu was making things difficult, he was still an elder of the Heaven Sword Sect and should be respected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But alas, as expected of Bai Zihan, he didn't care and even called the elder ignorant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Elder Lu could continue, a voice suddenly cut through the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, well. If it isn't Young Master Bai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tall figure entered, his steps confident as he approached the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Shen Liang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's eyes glowed with amusement as he looked at Bai Zihan, clearly enjoying the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a surprise! I heard that you are joining the Heaven Sword Sect,\" Senior Brother Shen Liang said, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan looked at Shen Liang for a second and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan intentionally asked. Unlike when he genuinely didn't know who Liu Tian was, how could he not recognize Shen Liang, whom he had recently humiliated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't want to give him the satisfaction of thinking that he was worthy of being remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, considering the timing of his appearance, Bai Zihan could already tell that it must have been him interfering with his admission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Liang was taken aback by the question but quickly regained his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha… It seems like Young Master Bai has memory problems. I was at the Bai Clan a few weeks ago and even had a conversation with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Liang said sarcastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan suddenly smacked his palm against his other hand, as if just remembering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're that troublemaker who dared to cause a scene in the Bai Clan and refused to apologize even though you were in the wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan continued his act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see! You must be colluding with this elder to make trouble for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1083,"2026-05-28T18:17:14.212Z","2026-06-01T04:28:34.960Z",1,"novelbin.me","77f59c34128668cb43c94cc4ff5a50319c569996a789d4f714cc44d006401b78","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-45","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-43",580,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fturns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-cover.jpg"]
