Fantasy: I Am the Villain.

Chapter Eight: Witnessing the Methods of Bai, the Casanova

"Huh?" Bai Ke looked completely bewildered.

"What fairy? Ah Can, what are you talking about? Which fairy would your young master be with? Stop spreading rumors and gossip."

If I find out you're spreading any more nonsense, don't blame your young master for being ruthless!

"No, young master, this has been all over Tian Ce Palace. They say you sleep with multiple women every night, you're a 'flower-picking saint,' and all sorts of things," Ah Can vividly recounted to Bai Ke...

Bai Ke stared at A-Can, who was spewing spittle everywhere, with a dark expression, barely suppressing the urge to blast him to smithereens.

"The so-called 'Flower-Picking Saint'?" Bai Ke, a virgin for two lifetimes, says he won't take the blame for this.

"Who spread these rumors? They're utter nonsense! Ah-Can, you should have investigated this properly. It seems I've been too lenient with you, young master."

Bai Ke glared at A Can with a look of embarrassment and anger. Of course, Bai Ke would never lay a hand on A Can, since it was not easy to find a subordinate as efficient and loyal as A Can.

If he really kills Ah-Can, then no one will help him, which would be a real disaster. Besides, Ah-Can is the first person Bai Ke got to know after transmigrating to this world.

For Bai Ke, A-Can was truly a family member even closer than his own father.

So a little scare and a warning would be enough; Bai Ke is actually unwilling to actually take action.

"How could that be, young master? Don't you trust me to handle things?" Ah Can replied with a grin. Now Ah Can had basically figured it out.

Although I don't know why, starting from the past two days, the young master is no longer the gloomy, privileged young man he used to be.

On the contrary, he often chatted with servants like me about random things, and he also cared about me a lot. For example, my cousin received a lot of help from the young master.

Perhaps his cultivation has finally broken through. Young Master, such a prodigy, looks glamorous, but how many people know the pressure he endures behind the scenes?

Take our young master, for example. That Ling Feng even slandered our young master the other day, saying he only had a father who was a Supreme Elder. But how could he know how harsh our master was on our young master?

Thinking of the hardships the young master endured when he was young, Ah-Can couldn't help but tremble; it was hard to describe.

You can see this from the fact that when Bai Ke was a few years older, he took the initiative to move out of Baiyan's cave and build a separate residence on Tiandu Peak.

The lady passed away early, and the young master used to be so gloomy. Ah-Can expressed his anxiety, as the lady had treated him with immense kindness, and he was determined to take good care of the young master for her sake.

Nowadays, the biggest gossip circulating in Tian Ce Palace is that Bai Ke had a secret rendezvous with an unknown woman in Baihua Valley for several days.

Although Ah-Can knew it was impossible, seeing that Miss Xin'er seemed to believe it without a doubt, he could only use this method to hint at the young master.

"I've been making inquiries these past two days, and it seems the news comes from... the Second Elder's side," Ah-Can's voice trailed off.

Now is the crucial time for the election of the Holy Son, so we must be careful because walls have ears and we cannot afford to be careless.

"Hmph! These clowns only know how to use such underhanded tricks. What about Father? What did he say?"

"The master hasn't made any statement yet, only saying publicly that he's in seclusion. He sent someone a while ago to tell me to observe the situation and not to take any action."

"Hmm... It seems the elders are making some moves too. They managed to get Father to back down without telling me. It must be that the Palace Master has emerged from seclusion."

Now all sorts of evil spirits have jumped out, let them be arrogant on stage, let's just wait and see. Hmph, laughing for a while is nothing, being able to laugh last is the real skill.

"Young Master's insight is brilliant! That's what I thought too. I only informed the Master about Young Master's breakthrough in cultivation."

No one else knows, but when the young master makes a name for himself, he alone will be the one enjoying the glory.

"Yes, this news must be kept secret. Don't tell anyone except Father. Hmm... it seems I'll have to announce that I'm going into seclusion for a few days to avoid being bothered by those flies..."

"Help me arrange a meeting with Xin'er tonight. Tell her I want to meet her at Hundred Flowers Valley." Bai Ke couldn't help but feel smug thinking about his actions today and the items he had just redeemed.

Hmph, you country bumpkins from another world, tonight I'll show you the tricks of this Casanova.

“…Young Master, this…I’m afraid you’ll have to go and invite him yourself,” Ah Can said with a troubled expression.

"What's going on?" Bai Ke frowned. Everything was ready, except for Xin'er's help. If the opportunity didn't come, it would be quite awkward.

"There are rumors circulating outside that you, young master, are having a secret rendezvous with another girl in Hundred Flowers Valley... It's probably some clueless person gossiping about you to Miss Xin'er."

Ah-Can said with a bitter face, "I was afraid that Miss Xin'er would misunderstand, so I rushed to see her yesterday, but... but she just wouldn't see me..."

"It's not your fault. Alright, you can go now." Bai Ke thought about it and realized that it really wasn't A-Can's fault. How could a burly man like him possibly understand a young girl's thoughts?

Looks like only this Casanova can handle it...

As Bai Ke pondered how to explain to Xin'er, he strode towards Tianxiu Peak, where the female disciples of Tian Ce Palace were located.

Tiandu Peak and Tianxiu Peak are the daily lodging and cultivation places for male and female disciples of Tiance Palace, respectively, while the valley in between is where the disciples often enjoy romantic moments under the moon and flowers.

So, even though he had never been to Tianxiu Peak, Bai Ke was not likely to get lost.

It is precisely because of the close proximity of Baihua Valley and Tianxiu Peak that the gossip about Grandpa Bai has spread like wildfire and become quite miraculous.

Thinking about this, Bai Ke gritted his teeth in anger. He was clearly still a pure virgin, yet he was labeled a "flower-picking saint."

"Flower picking"?! What kind of good reputation does that have?

This is clearly ruining my handsome and mighty image among the thousands of girls on Tianxiu Peak. The mastermind behind this is truly wicked!

Our protagonist, Grandpa Bai, gritted his teeth and thought, "When I catch that rumor-monger, I'll definitely tear him to pieces!"

It would be a disservice to Bai Ke's status as a super villain if he weren't turned into eighteen different little versions of himself.

It has to be said that Bai Ke's physical appearance is still quite good. He is handsome and elegant, and there are simply too many words to describe his appearance.

In addition, having undergone a purification of his marrow and fused with the essence of a fire dragon, he inadvertently exudes the noble majesty of the dragon race in every gesture.

So from afar, he truly appeared to be a handsome young man, captivating the attention of countless young girls just beginning to experience love amidst the vibrant beauty of Tianxiu Peak.
