I Really Am A Villain

📢 New Novel Launch!

This time, Xu Zimo had been in seclusion for over a month. Of course, the unexpected mutation of the Primordial Chaos Bead had caught him off guard.

But the result was nothing short of a qualitative leap. Xu Zimo could feel power coursing through his entire body.

Most importantly, after reaching the Desolate Meridian Realm, he now had the ability to walk through the air.

As he stepped out of his room, the world outside seemed to have been washed clean, everything looked unusually clear and vibrant.

The spiritual herbs on either side of the South Goose Mountain courtyard were more lush and full of life than ever, as if they had been bathed in divine energy.

This reminded Xu Zimo of the spiritforce surge that erupted during the moment he formed his True Fate.

“Senior Brother,” Little Gui quickly came up to greet him.

“Anything happen while I was in seclusion?” Xu Zimo nodded and asked.

“The Vice-Lord came by. He said to look for him once you came out,” Little Gui replied. “Also, I heard from some of the disciples that the sect's Guardian Formation was activated a while ago.”

“The Guardian Formation?” Xu Zimo frowned slightly, he already had a guess.

It must’ve been his father. When the spiritforce around South Goose Mountain became scarce during his breakthrough, his father had activated the Guardian Formation to gather massive amounts of energy for him.

No wonder the spiritual herbs had flourished, they had been cleansed and nourished by the surge of energy.

“I see,” Xu Zimo nodded.

“Oh, and Senior Brother Lin came by a few times too, but since you were in seclusion, he left each time,” Little Gui added.

“Like a tiger, huh…” Xu Zimo nodded. He figured Lin Ruhu probably had some answers now.

…

After leaving South Goose Mountain, Xu Zimo headed straight for Green Mountain, where his father resided.

Xu Qingshan was, as always, dressed in green robes. Compared to the last time Xu Zimo saw him, there was now a sharper edge to his presence.

“What’s up, Dad!” Xu Zimo smiled.

“It’s good to see you haven’t slacked in your cultivation. Honestly, I’m relieved,” Xu Qingshan said with a smile.

“I’ll keep working hard. You were the one who activated the formation, weren’t you?” Xu Zimo asked.

Xu Qingshan nodded. “I don’t know what kind of fortune you’ve come across, and I won’t ask. After all, you’ve grown up. You’re entitled to your own secrets. Just remember this: I’ll always be your strongest support. Whatever happens, come to me.”

“I know that. I always have,” Xu Zimo said, nodding firmly. He never thought of himself as sentimental.

But people are strange creatures. It’s not always grand, heroic gestures that move you to tears.
