Or maybe just stupid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yuhan narrowed his eyes in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had he been rejected by Bai Xinyue, now some smug bastard was rubbing salt in the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course he was about to snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could even speak, one of his lackeys tugged on his sleeve and whispered frantically,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, that's Bai Zihan… the heir of the Bai Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yuhan blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked from his lackey to the smirking Bai Zihan. Now that it was mentioned, yeah—he did recognize the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mo Clan and Bai Clan both ranked among the Top Ten of the Desolate Heaven Empire, so they'd crossed paths before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bai Zihan was a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A \"waste.\" Even if he was heir to the mighty Bai Clan, Xu Yuhan never saw a reason to take him seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understandably, it slipped his mind—at least until his lackey whispered the name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Xu Yuhan's puffed-up chest deflated just a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because he feared Bai Zihan—he still believed he could take him in a one-on-one fight—but the Bai Clan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah. That was a different beast entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mo Clan might be in the top ten, but the Bai Clan? Top three, maybe even number one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he adjusted his tone. Just a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly do you mean by that, Bai Zihan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice still carried that arrogant edge. He couldn't help himself—he still looked down on Zihan deep inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone knows Bai Xinyue was exiled from the Bai Clan. So how exactly am I threatening the Bai Clan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan's smile didn't fade. In fact, it widened—dangerously so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether she's exiled or not, that's none of your concern.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took another step forward, voice lowering just enough to make the threat under the sarcasm hit clear as day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a family matter. And you should know better than to provoke someone with the name Bai attached to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or what?\" he added, eyes gleaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think your Mo Clan stands a chance against my Bai Clan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arena went dead quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single soul dared make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this wasn't some friendly spat. This looked like before a clash between two of the Empire's giants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yuhan's jaw clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one thing to argue. It was another thing entirely to throw around clan-level threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and stormed off, his lackey scrambling after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan watched him leave like he was watching a person who didn't even know his place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan watched him leave like he was watching some clueless fool who didn't even know his place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, if you looked at the bigger picture, you could say he just saved Xu Yuhan's life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy had the balls to bare his fangs at Heaven's Chosen One—his fate was already on a countdown the moment he opened his damn mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So really, Bai Zihan had done him a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad the idiot wasn't smart enough to thank his fellow villain for saving him from a cliché villain's death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch. No spine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan muttered under his breath, then turned to the rest of the dumbfounded crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said lazily, voice echoing across the emptying arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The drama's over. Go back to whatever boring crap you were doing before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples exchanged glances, shifting awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah? Who the hell does he think he is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arrogant bastard… This is Azure Cloud Peak, not his Mystic Moon pigsty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just because he scared off Xu Yuhan, he thinks he can boss us around?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the salty muttering, not a single one of them said it to his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, they started to leave—some grumbling, some glaring—but none dared stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if even Xu Yuhan backed off… who the hell were they to pick a fight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the arena emptied out, leaving just two people—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the girl who looked like she wanted to set him on fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xinyue stood still, arms crossed, her glare sharp enough to draw blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice came out cold as frostbite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you here, Bai Zihan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No thanks. No pleasantries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that Bai Zihan expected any.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked the moment she opened her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He repeated, his head slightly tilted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am I not allowed to be here? Didn't realize Azure Cloud Peak belonged to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know damn well what I mean.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xinyue snapped, stepping forward. Her glare only sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't act like you helped me, you hypocrite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice shook with fury, but she held it together. Barely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know what you're scheming, what kind of twisted plan dragged you all the way here… but let me guess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her chin upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to shut me up. Make sure I never tell anyone what you did to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But unfortunately for you, your measly strength isn't nearly enough to make that happen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, who had vowed to take revenge on him, never stopped tracking his movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept her ears open to every whisper about the Bai Clan—especially anything tied to Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew he was still in the Core Formation Stage. Not a threat. Not to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, if he'd dragged an elder along, maybe she'd worry. But this was the Heaven Sword Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for the mighty Bai Clan, there were limits to what they could get away with here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Bai Zihan stood there, still smirking like he was looking at a child throwing a tantrum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Still the same!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xinyue, despite the years, hadn't changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still wore her emotions on her sleeve—at least around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd worried that time and exile might've twisted her. Turned her into a cold, scheming snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she was that kind of person, she wouldn't be snapping at him like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She'd have smiled sweetly, maybe even thanked him for \"saving\" her… all while sharpening the knife behind her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And honestly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made her easier to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"People like her are straightforward.
