Fantasy: I Am the Villain.

Chapter Twenty-One: Farewell

It's only a two-month period. We'll feed and treat this evil star well during this time. When the time comes, he'll return to his sect, and the Shennong Gang will be just as carefree as before.

Sikong Xuan assumed that Bai Ke was a disciple sent out by a reclusive sect for training, and that he would return to the sect in two months, so he was relieved.

Little did they know that when the appointed time came, Bai Ke would not be leaving their Shennong Gang, but this world itself.

Furthermore, it's not impossible for Bai Ke to return after leaving this realm. There is something in the Mountain and Sea Realm called the Boundary Anchor that can fix the passage between the two realms.

If I were to report to my sect that I had inadvertently discovered a new small world, it would be a great achievement, and my position as the Holy Son would be practically guaranteed.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully subduing a force in this realm through coercion and inducement. The system rewards you with 2000 Evil Points and opens the Martial Arts Hall."

"Martial Arts Hall? What's that?"

Regarding the evil points he received, Bai Ke said there was nothing to be surprised about anymore. He had previously befriended Duan Yu and received 1000 evil points.

At that time, he searched through the system's store and found that the only things he could afford were storage rings, Sumeru talismans, and other small items.

In short, Bai Ke's current situation is that he has 3000 evil points, but he can't use the things he can afford right now, and he can't afford the things he can use.

Feeling quite melancholy, Master Bai Ke is now basically immune to the evil points awarded by the system, given the literal meaning of the terms and his own experiences these past few days:

You can earn evil points by doing evil deeds or actions that align with the world's plot. Whether disrupting the main storyline earns evil points is unknown to Bai Ke.

He feared that recklessly altering the main storyline of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils would ruin this world. After all, his two main advantages in this world were his cultivation level and his familiarity with the plot.

While it's possible to commit evil deeds in this world solely based on cultivation level, it essentially means completely abandoning any future plans or strategies.

He still wanted to use this small world to attract attention in the Tian Ce Palace, and he was unwilling to give up his plans because of some evil points.

Now, the only thing he can rely on is Mr. Jin Yong's help, so he generally doesn't want to disrupt the plot unless there's a specific reason.

Bai Ke wouldn't care about the opinions of the Shennong Gang if he didn't want to escalate things. Anyone who dared to resist would be killed.

Bai Ke waved to the still somewhat nervous Sikong Xuan to lift the guards inside the Shennong Gang, and Bai Ke and Duan Yu, who had just watched a good show, headed to the Shennong Gang's prison under the guidance of a clever disciple.

Throughout the journey, Duan Yu seemed to want to say something but hesitated, only to swallow it back each time. Bai Ke noticed this but didn't know what he was trying to do, so he remained silent, waiting for Duan Yu to speak to him on his own initiative.

"Brother Bai, I don't know why you went through so much trouble to take over the Shennong Gang... I'm not trying to pry into your secrets." Duan Yu finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke to Bai Ke.

"But if my elder brother needs anything, although my Zhennan Prince's Mansion is not very capable, it should be more powerful than the Shennong Gang."

"Besides, I think Sikong Xuan looks very docile, but he's all talk and no action. He might turn against you, brother. You should think about it some more!"

Unexpectedly, Duan Yu was worried about him, and Bai Ke felt a warmth in his heart. "It's alright. My intention in forcibly subduing the Shennong Gang was precisely to reform them."

“I heard from Brother Duan that the Shennong Gang is quite skilled in medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Since they have this skill, I, Duan, will lend them a hand. It’s better than harming people with poison.”

"Brother, you are kind-hearted, but I fear that even if people have no intention of harming the tiger, the tiger may still be intent on harming people. Please be extra careful, brother." Duan Yu was always a bit fussy with those around him.

"Brother Duan, you're very kind. I appreciate it."

As they were talking, Bai Ke and Duan Yu arrived at the prison of Shennong Manor. The place was extremely remote, with a cliff behind them, so they didn't have to worry about anyone secretly digging a tunnel to escape.

Upon seeing Zhong Ling, Duan Yu was naturally overjoyed. Zhong Ling was not a shy girl; she possessed a chivalrous spirit and was very grateful to Bai Ke after learning that Bai Ke had saved her.

This made Duan Yu a little jealous, and when they spent time together in private, he couldn't help but complain to Bai Ke. Bai Ke laughed and teased Duan Yu, making Duan Yu blush.

Soon, Zhong Ling, having been away from home for a long time, worried that her family would miss her. In addition, she was not used to living at Shennong Mountain Villa, so she kept saying she wanted to go back.

Duan Yu couldn't persuade her otherwise, and he was also reluctant to let the beauty leave alone. After repeatedly inviting Bai Ke to his aid without success, the two bid farewell to Bai Ke and headed into Wanjie Valley.

Bai Ke stood on the rooftop of a tall building in Shennong Mountain Villa, watching the two figures slowly turn into two small dots and disappear on the horizon.

“Brother Bai, I don’t know when I will be able to see you again. But we are all people of the martial world. If you ever need anything, please come to the Prince of Zhennan’s Mansion in Dali. I will do my best to help you.”

Bai Ke thought to himself about the solemn words Duan Yu had spoken to him before their parting. He thought to himself, "Hehe, brother, we'll meet again in the martial world... Don't be surprised if we meet again in a while!"

After seeing Duan Yu and his companion off, Bai Ke instructed Sikong Xuan and the others to continue as usual. He then requested a clean room and went off to study his martial arts training hall.

Seeing that Bai Ke had no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the Shennong Gang, Sikong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that this Young Master Tian Ce was indeed just out for a trip, and he felt much more at ease.

Arrange for a few clever disciples to guard the entrance to Bai Ke's secluded meditation room, and leave the rest to his own devices.

Bai Ke sat in the clean room, thinking about his newly reopened martial arts hall, feeling completely bewildered.

The system only said that it had unblocked the "Martial Arts Hall," but didn't explain how to open or use it. It's as irresponsible and shameless as ever.

The system had been quiet for the past two days, and Bai Ke almost forgot how terrible this broken system was.

Unexpectedly, the system once again lowered his shamelessness threshold. This made Bai Ke grit his teeth in anger.
