Fantasy: I Am the Villain.

Chapter 231 Excitement

Chapter 231 Stimulation

Bai Ke turned his head at the sound and saw a servant standing by the bamboo forest in the distance, dressed the same as the servant from before.

"Didn't that person just say your young master didn't want to see me? Has he suddenly changed his mind?"

"Hehe, Young Master Bai is too kind. Come, this way, I'll lead the way for you." After saying that, the attendant smiled, gestured for Bai Ke to enter, and then stepped forward to lead the way.

Bai Ke glanced at the somewhat sensible servant before him, gave a light snort, and followed the servant toward the inner courtyard.

After passing through a bamboo grove and walking through several corridors, Bai Ke finally arrived at a reception room.

"Please wait a moment, Young Master Bai, my young master will be here shortly!" With that, the servant withdrew.

Bai Ke surveyed his surroundings: the rosewood tables and chairs, the white jade screen, the carved beams and painted pillars, and the fine teacups and utensils—all exuded an air of refinement.

"I didn't expect Lin Xiu to know how to enjoy life. Compared to him, my own taste in life is really lacking."

Looking at the fragrant tea and snacks on the table, Bai Ke picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. He then stood in front of a calligraphy and painting and began to appreciate it slowly.

"Senior Brother Bai is really bold. Aren't you afraid I'll have someone tamper with the tea and snacks, or even make sure you don't leave alive? After all, this is my territory!"

Then, Lin Xiu came in from outside the door, dressed in a black robe and wearing a white jade crown. However, his cheeks were a little sunken, and he looked thinner than before.

His lips were a little pale, but Lin Xiu's eyes were very bright, and he looked very energetic.

"Heh, if I didn't have this much courage, why would I have come to your Lingyue Peak alone? Even on your territory, if you wanted to make a move against me, you'd better think twice."

I believe you're not stupid enough to let something happen to me here, are you?

Besides, judging from Junior Brother Lin's complexion, although he is still somewhat weak, he is still full of energy, so he should be fine!

As he spoke, Bai Ke sat back down in his chair, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then looked at Lin Xiu in front of him.

Lin Xiu smiled slightly upon hearing this, sat down on the other side with a sarcastic expression, and said to Bai Ke, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Bai. I am doing well now."

"I'm just a little weak; I'll recover after a few days of rest."

"Oh? But the news I heard doesn't seem to be this?"

"What did Senior Brother Bai hear?"

"I heard that Junior Brother Lin, your body was injured because of the possession by the sixth prince of Moyun Kingdom that day, and your situation is not good."

"Out of concern, I came to visit you, Junior Brother Lin. I was surprised to find you've already recovered so well; it proves the rumors were unreliable!"

"Senior brother is joking. I wonder who maliciously spread this rumor to curse me. I'd like to know where Senior Brother Bai heard it from?"

"Of course, I heard it from your Wanbaotang disciples, but it's just hearsay, nothing more! Junior Brother Lin, please don't take it too seriously!"

The reason Bai Ke said he heard it from a disciple of Wanbaotang was because he blurted it out in a moment of panic.

I didn't expect Lin Xiu to ask about this. I can't exactly say that I heard about it from some female disciples of Tianxiu Peak, can I?

Okay, even though what they said is completely different from what he said, who cares? If you want to make trouble, make trouble with your own disciples!

Thinking of this, Bai Ke rubbed his nose without any guilt.

When Lin Xiu heard Bai Ke say that he had heard it from a disciple of Wanbaotang, a glint flashed in his eyes. Thinking of his current cultivation level, his fingers, which were resting on his knees, involuntarily curled up.

"I wonder, did Senior Brother Bai come here today just to visit me? If it's just to visit me, then Senior Brother Bai is putting on too much airs."

These words were a veiled reference to Bai Ke's recent forced entry into his Green Bamboo Garden and his loud shouting that he had injured his servant.

Bai Ke chuckled, showing no shame or embarrassment on his face, and continued, "Not to be rude, but Junior Brother Lin."

You really need to manage your servant. I spoke to him politely, but he said I didn't want to see him and told me to leave.

I didn't believe it. You were able to see me, so I just came in. He even tried to push me out, so I just taught you a lesson, you wicked servant."

Lin Xiu looked at Bai Ke in front of him and felt that this man was utterly shameless. "I was resting in my bedroom and it was indeed inconvenient to receive guests, so I instructed him not to see anyone."

Who knew that Senior Brother Bai would be so insistent on seeing you, so that you could be at ease!

However, since Senior Brother Bai has come to visit, why haven't I seen anything you brought? Did Senior Brother Bai come to visit me empty-handed?

Lin Xiu glanced at the empty space next to Bai Ke and said sarcastically.

"To be honest, today's decision was made on a whim. I was inspecting the various peaks when I heard someone mention you, Junior Brother Lin, so I rushed over to visit you."

"It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, hence my empty-handed arrival. I apologize for the embarrassment, Junior Brother Lin. Next time, next time! Next time Junior Brother Lin is injured, I will definitely bring something to visit you!"

After Bai Ke finished speaking, Lin Xiu felt his blood rush to his head. Bai Ke's words were truly vicious.

What do you mean by "getting hurt next time"?! You're probably hoping he gets hurt! Maybe you'd rather he were dead! Humph! I'll just stay healthy and not let him have his way.

Looking at Lin Xiu, who was enduring the pain, Bai Ke felt extremely happy. He was happy as long as he could annoy this person.

Seeing that Lin Xiu was having a hard time enduring it, Bai Ke decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Oh, right. Junior Brother Lin Xiu probably doesn't know yet, but on the day of the report and summary, which is after you went back, the sect leader and the elders appointed me as a deacon of the Enforcement Hall."

Other disciples were also rewarded according to their merits.

However, as far as I know, that Ling Feng not only didn't receive a reward, but was also punished by facing the wall for a month, and then responsible for cleaning the cliff where the sect dumped garbage for a year.

Because he disobeyed orders and acted on his own during the mission, and his greed for credit almost led to a serious mistake. So this is his punishment. What do you say?

Lin Xiu was startled and somewhat worried upon hearing this. His worry, of course, was for himself. His performance in this training exercise hadn't been good; in fact, it had been rather poor.

Ling Feng received such punishment, and then there was the matter of the sixth prince of Moyun Kingdom that day... He dared not think about it.

Bai Ke was pleased to see Lin Xiu's somewhat frightened appearance. He smiled and continued, "As for Junior Brother Lin Xiu, you were helped back by others because you were injured that day."

The sect leader said to wait until you recover from your injuries, and we'll discuss rewards and punishments later. However, senior brother, I'm very curious to know how the sect leader and elders will deal with you.

Is it like Ling Feng, facing the wall in self-reflection while taking out the trash? Or are there other measures? Hmm, I'm very curious!
