In their eyes, Bai Zihan was just a waste who had entered the Heaven Sword Sect through the backdoor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of them expected Bai Zihan to openly threaten them using his clan's name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, disciples from powerful clans usually avoided relying on their background. They wanted to prove their strength independently, to stand tall without their clan's support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless they could manage something without relying on their clan's support, they would avoid doing so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bai Zihan, on the other hand, boldly leveraged the power of the Bai Clan's name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be seen as cowardice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But would anyone say that out loud? Obviously not—not after being threatened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Jinyan's smile froze on his face as Bai Zihan's cold declaration echoed across the Cloud Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands, still clasped behind his back, tightened ever so slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Zhanhong, who had been smirking moments ago, now felt his throat run dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Bai Zihan's background, his own was practically nonexistent. Just one elder from the Bai Clan would be enough to uproot his entire family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze flicked toward Fang Jinyan, silently pleading for guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Tch! This guy really is as shameless as the rumors say.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Jinyan cursed internally, forcing his smile to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(He didn't even hesitate to drop the Bai Clan's name.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear now—Bai Zihan wasn't planning to play along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't going to act humble. He was arrogant, direct, and completely unafraid to throw his weight around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fang Jinyan didn't have the luxury of backing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(I can't retreat. Not after what Senior Brother Shen promised.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind flashed back to a private conversation just the day before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make him fall from his pedestal,\" Shen Liang had ordered, his voice heavy with resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bai Zihan must appear weak—so weak that even with his Bai Clan background, no one in the sect would fear him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Jinyan had hesitated at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But… he's from the Bai Clan. Won't this bring trouble?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Liang had laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trouble?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Bai Clan is strong, yes. But Zihan is just one child. If we disgrace him enough—make him a joke—even Elder Qinglan might feel ashamed to help him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Liang continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, would the Bai Clan risk losing their face for a 'waste'? You don't need to worry about them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then promised Fang Jinyan valuable pills, rare resources, and most importantly, protection within the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a personal recommendation from his uncle to become a Core Disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Elder Shen behind Shen Liang, Fang Jinyan knew it was an opportunity he couldn't afford to miss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd been stuck as an Inner Disciple for years. His current position as Head Disciple of Mystic Moon Peak was likely his limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Shen Liang's help—or more precisely, Elder Shen's help—he could climb higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Best of all, he didn't need to act personally. He could use others to do the dirty work, minimizing risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make sure the other disciples stop fearing him. The more they see him as weak, the more they'll target him. I want him isolated and powerless. That's what I want!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't back down. And yet…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan was proving to be a tougher nut to crack than he had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Jinyan kept his gaze on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan was casually dusting off his sleeves, as if he hadn't just threatened several disciples—many from powerful clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to the Bai Clan, even their clans combined wouldn't amount to much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Bai, forgive us if we were too forward. We only wanted to get to know you better. Perhaps he got a little bit too excited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Jinyan said smoothly, as though none of the earlier malice existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excited?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan echoed, his tone bone-dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's a nice excuse. But not quite good enough for seeking death, is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Jinyan's smile faltered. Despite the polite tone, Bai Zihan continued to press and threaten them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, isn't threatening your seniors a bit over the top?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Jinyan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha… So what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan replied coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Head Disciple, if I were you, I'd pray I don't become my target. But it seems like you are openly seeking death, aren't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped closer, voice dropping slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Jinyan frowned. Not even Shen Liang could threaten him like this, let alone Bai Zihan, who was weak and simply abusing his background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Bai, aren't your words a bit too much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah? Weren't you the one looking for trouble with me? Don't think I'm too foolish not to see through your little act behind that creepy smile.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan insulted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this? Tell me who instructed you, and I might let you off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Jinyan blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? What do you mean, Junior Brother Bai?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His nervous expression betrayed the lie in his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looking at you, someone definitely sent you to create trouble for me. Could it be… Shen Liang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan speculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Jinyan's eyes twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(This devil! How does he know?!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Bai, please stop with these baseless accusations. I was only trying to help our fellow disciples bond.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Jinyan denied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that displeased you, then… forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Jinyan finally decided to back off. Any further escalation risked exposing his link to Shen Liang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget becoming a Core Disciple—he might not even retain his position in Mystic Moon Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, targeting fellow peak members because of someone's order was the same as betraying the peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe… Trying to run away now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without sparing the others a second glance, he turned to the gathered disciples and spoke—his voice ringing loud and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone else except him—leave!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stunned silence fell over the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Inner Disciples looked around uncertainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may return to your cultivation,\" Bai Zihan said sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless… you'd rather be lumped together with this dog.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had come here because Fang Jinyan with his authority as Head Disciple called them. But now, Bai Zihan was the one commanding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think this is a bluff?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said it once—I don't care who your clan is. Act against me, and I will retaliate. Not as Bai Zihan, but as the heir of the Bai Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several disciples stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Jinyan gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan was already challenging him, making it clear that his power and influence as the heir of the Bai Clan far outweighed Fang Jinyan's position as Head Disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they listened, then his authority as Head Disciple would be seen as lesser than that of Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't want to be dragged into this, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan asked them, almost kindly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then leave. I don't want anyone crying to their elders later when they get caught in something they had no business in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1186,"2026-05-28T18:17:14.491Z","2026-06-01T04:28:34.960Z",1,"novelbin.me","b0419c0a5dd0becf9c84dd3ab3818e6b15b0b7b404ef5e605433076211c84c4d","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-57","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-55",580,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fturns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-cover.jpg"]
