Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! - Chapter 298 The Second Order

Chapter 298 The Second Order

“You must defeat my brother, Bai Zihan! As long as you do that, I will consider your marriage proposal.”

Considering that there was zero chance of that happening, Bai Xueqing came up with this ridiculous condition.

Beating Bai Zihan?

Even the elders of sects and clans couldn’t do that. What could they do- someone who couldn’t even defeat her?

She thought this would be enough of a condition to make these people accept. And they will give up on marriage when they know how impossible it is.

“Defeat Bai Zihan? Hah! That’s far better than trying to make him laugh!” “At least this is straightforward. Strength-that’s something we can measure!” “No matter how strong, he couldn’t fight all of them one after another.”

Excitement rippled through the suitors. Many straightened their backs, relief flashing in their eyes.

Compared to Bai Zihan’s bizarre test of humor, this was something they could grasp a challenge that fit the world of cultivators.

Yet not everyone shared the same enthusiasm.

Those who had witnessed Bai Zihan’s power before-his effortless and mercilessness, humiliating even people like Mo Tianji and surviving against the Third Demon General Gou Yao-knew better.

And who knew that better than the one who saw it all: Third Prince Yu Wenzhao.

Glup!

(Defeating Bai Zihan?)

He could still vividly remember the time when Bai Zihan single-handedly made every clan and sect stand still as he threatened them with the lives of their geniuses.

Even he was scared thinking that he might have been marked by whatever Bai Zihan did and could be killed with a simple snap of his fingers.

Defeating him would not be “a chance”; it would be a gamble with humiliation. There were others who also felt the same.

No matter whether they believed all the rumors about Bai Zihan or not, at least he was still in the Soul Formation Realm and many of those gathered here weren’t a match for such cultivation.

While there were some who were in Soul Formation Realm, fighting against Bai Clan’s heir who learned Heaven-Grade Technique isn’t going to be easy.

“Lady Bai, forgive my boldness, but… is this to be a one-on-one duel? Or… may we fight as a group?”

They glanced at the man who asked, some regarding him with contempt for his cowardice-wanting to fight as a group.

Others, however, felt a spark of hope; with numbers on their side their chance of success would be higher.

Then all eyes turned to Bai Xueqing, waiting for her answer.

Her face remained composed, her gaze steady as the windless moon.

“One-on-one, or together-it does not matter. As long as you can defeat him, I will consider your sincerity.”

Bai Xueqing replied without needing to give it another thought.

A collective murmur surged through the crowd.

Some clenched their fists, fire lighting their eyes. Together, it could be done…

Others swallowed hard, realizing that even united, victory was far from certain. It was then that a cold voice cut through the mounting buzz.

“Enough!”

Bai Zihan leaned forward slightly.

“My dear sister, you didn’t even ask for my permission. How can you throw your fragile brother against those barbarians just because you want to avoid your marriage?”

Bai Zihan said.

Bai Xueqing rolled her eyes.

What fragile brother?

It was like throwing a lion into a cage of rabbits at most.

While those suitors couldn’t ignore Bai Zihan’s mention of them as barbarians. Hey, we might not be as handsome as you but we still have our elegance and

grace.

But those girls watching must agree that those suitors looked like barbarian as compared to Bai Zihan. There was no comparing the two.

“Weren’t you sent here by Father to select a husband for me?”

She countered.

“Then how is what I’ve done any different from you? You test them with your methods-I test them with mine.”

“And isn’t my test much better than yours? Don’t you all agree?”

She asked the group of suitors, who all nodded and agreed easily.

“Yeah! It is better!”

“Moreover, Lady Bai Xueqing herself is asking us. Young Master Bai should be happy to help his sister.”

(This girl… she wants to use me.)

Bai Zihan thought uncomfortably. It is he who likes to use others, not the other

way around.

(Hmph! Let me foil your plan.)

Bai Zihan thought. He knew Bai Xueqing desperately wanted to avoid the

marriage and was trying to make use of him.

But of course, how could he just let her?

He thought about going easy and letting people pass. That way, Bai Xueqing would have to deal with this group of suitors after the test.

(Haha… Who do you think you are to use me? Sister, you are too young for

that.)

Bai Zihan thought as a smirk appeared which didn’t go unnoticed by Bai

Xueqing.

“Alrig=”

Bai Zihan was about to agree when Bai Xueqing appeared before him, startling

him a bit.

“You are not thinking about throwing the fight, right?”

Bai Xueqing asked with an evil smile on her face.

“Then this is my second order: you must always help me avoid my marriage!”

Bai Xueqing demanded.

“Always?”

Bai Zihan asked.

“Hmph! Who knows what you will do. Today, you might help me but tomorrow,

you might be the one bringing this group of suitors. So, you must always help

me avoid my marriage.”

“Anyways, knowing your laziness, I think that you can chase them away once and for all unless you want to deal with them again and again.”

Bai Xueqing added.

After all, if Bai Zihan knew he had to step in whenever her marriage was being discussed, Bai Xueqing was certain he would handle it once and for all, sparing

her from ever having to deal with it.

“Tsk!”

Bai Zihan didn’t know when Bai Xueqing grew a brain.

(That f**king Nie Fengzhuo! I’ll kill him when I see him.)

Once again he couldn’t help cursing Nie Fengzhuo because of which he lost the

bet.

Well, Bai Zihan was good at blaming others rather than taking responsibility for

his own actions-like many others.

“Fine! Fine!”

Well, he had no choice but to agree, and honestly, this second order was much

easier than the first one.

The group of suitors was already preparing themselves.

Some had already formed a group to take on Bai Zihan together, while others

waited at the back, planning to strike once Bai Zihan was exhausted. The onlookers watched with excitement. After all, there were many rumors about Bai Zihan, but not many had seen his strength for themselves. Was he truly the waste he was once known to be, or had he really transformed

into a genius of unfathomable power?

“How should we go about this?”

“Perhaps those who are confident should take him on first?”

“You do know that if we defeat Bai Zihan, you’ll all be disqualified, right?”

They discussed in hushed tones, each one weighing the ideal time to join the

fight.

Go first, and risk immediate defeat.

But go last? If the challenger before them managed to defeat Bai Zihan, they would naturally be disqualified as well.

Bai Zihan casually strode forward, his eyes looking down on them.

(Idiots!)

They would have had a much higher chance of success if they had just agreed

to his test. He had been generous-and this was the result.

“Are you sure about this?”
