Villain : I reincarnated as a Prince! Shouldn't I have a Harem?

Chapter 66: I too, I also want to join!

Lo Pu smiled before repeating the same words as Ashen.

"Excellent, I never thought of it that way." Rising Phoenix Peak Master praised, finding the thinking unique.

He had always felt that the first test was a bit... dull.

But if this new test, where forming groups was allowed came into existence, wouldn't it make the test more fun?

People would begin to use their brains to finish the exam safely. The peak masters would also be able to see the candidate's interpersonal and leadership qualities.

"Indeed, this is quite the insight that young master Ashen has!" The old peak master complimented, stroking his beard.

He was also giving this new type of test a bit of consideration.

However, most of these praises were influenced by their desire to not offend Ashen, Since Lo Pu said that this was Ashen's idea.

Rejecting the idea would be similar to rejecting Ashen's thinking, ultimately insulting him.

With his 8-star spirit, Ashen was sure to become a powerful cultivator in the future, It was wise to not insult him.

To give an analogy, if you went to the past and knew that a child was going to become a billionaire, wouldn't you wish to make good relations with him and not offend him somehow? After all, you could just get help from him.

The raging peak master who was a bit reluctant to praise Ashen's way of thinking decided to stay in the middle: "Yes, It is quite the unique thinking that Young master Ashen has... haha"

He appeared a bit... awkward.

He didn't feel like that at all.

If eliminating people was allowed, wouldn't it mean that stronger cultivators could eliminate weaker cultivators?

How would they test a candidate's determination and potential?

"Ridiculous! This is just ridiculous" The female peak master spat, rejecting the idea altogether.

"Peak master Xia, don't be so blunt!" The raging peak master whispered into her ear, not desiring for her to suffer.

She, glaring at him in response, ridiculed the peak masters: "How can you all praise this thinking? What if Mo Fan had been eliminated due to those five boys? You all should be ashamed of yourselves!"

At this moment, a familiar voice resounded in everyone's ears, asking: "Oh, Can you tell me why they should be ashamed of themselves?"

Everyone, surprised by the sudden question, looked towards the direction from where the voice came.

In their sight, appeared a terrifyingly handsome boy with long black raven hair and crystal red eyes. He was approaching them calmly with hands clasped behind his back.

Soon, an explosion of fire occurred underneath his legs as he jumped in the air, landing close to them. It was his movement skill.

"Young master Ashen!" Lo Pu yelled before rushing to his side. He really wanted to hug his thigh to reach a high position in the future.

Meanwhile, Mo Fan's eyes opened wide in horror upon recognizing Ashen. Wasn't this the origin realm cultivator who killed all those men who came to rescue him?

Even now he remembered how unreasonable this man was.

"Elder Lo Pu, what happened? Why is the beautiful peak master angry?" Ashen inquired, gazing at the beautiful woman in front of her.

Lo Pu nodded before explaining what had transpired.

A smile appeared on Ashen's face as he questioned Peak Master Xia: "Peak Master Xia, If I may, can I ask you why you ridiculed my opinion?"

Peak master Xia, glaring at him, yelled in reply: "How dare you ask the reason? Can't you see it? If we allowed the candidates to act as they pleased, how would anyone pass? If someone was stronger, wouldn't he be able to eliminate all the weaker candidates? Where would the fairness be in that?"

Hearing her reason, Ashen laughed out loud: "Hahaha, Peak Master Xia, Do you think life is fair? Do you think Cultivation is fair?

Let me ask you, if someone stronger than you is after your life, Would you ask him to wait to let you become stronger for fairness?

Fairness is just an excuse for the weak!"

The peak masters present had their eyes widened at his argument. At first, they didn't like his thinking but now, it seemed a bit reasonable.

However, Peak Master Xia wasn't convinced: "But this test is to test one's willpower and determination! Why would you compare it to life?"

Ashen, wearing a confused expression, asked: "Huh? But didn't elder Lo Pu himself say that this test was similar to the path of cultivation? And I just took it a step further, since in the path of Cultivation there would be people who would pull you down and kill you, no matter the determination you have!"

Peak master Xia was baffled as she replied: "You! Can't you see that if someone was stronger than the other cultivator, he would just eliminate the other candidates?"

Ashen smiled, retorting instantly: "But why would a stronger candidate do that? Did the weaker candidate offend him? If so, then don't you think the weaker candidate deserved to get eliminated? This is the world of the strong. The weak have no right to offend the strong."

Peak master Xia's eyes widened as she yelled: "You think a cultivator would eliminate someone only when they offend them? No, there are cultivators who'll eliminate just for fun, because they have the power to do that!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, they recognized that there were indeed that type of cultivators in the world.

Ashen nodded with a smile as he replied: "Peak master Xia, You're right. There are indeed those types of cultivators, but aren't there cultivators who would protect the weak?

I'm not saying that I'm right or that you're wrong. I just expressed my opinion to elder Lo Pu and he agreed with it. It was that simple!"

Peak Master Xia calmed down upon seeing him taking a step back to give her face.

Then, she remembered how Mo Fan was about to get eliminated as she asked: "Then what about Mo Fan? Did he offend those five boys? Why did they attempt to eliminate him?"

Ashen, gazing at Mo Fan, announced: "Because Mo Fan is a thief!"

Mo Fan's eyes widened in horror as he began to sweat profusely. Though he knew that he wasn't in the wrong, he knew this man in front of him was not ordinary. He was too good with his tongue.

Even now, Peak Master Xia was in the right and there was no way to argue with her, however, he used words so proficiently as if he was in the right.

He was always calm throughout the conversation while Peak Master Xia was yelling which gave the illusion as if Peak Master Xia was in the wrong and he was right.

It appeared as if he was winning the argument and as the last move, he took a step back, giving her face.

It made her calm down and not blame him or Elder Lo Pu for neglecting Mo Fan.

"Those Five boys are the Mo Family's geniuses and were only taking revenge for the skill that Mo Fan had stolen from the Mo Family." Ashen explained in a righteous tone as he pointed at Mo Pian: "You can ask Mo Pian. He is the cousin of Mo Fan and has seen his ruthlessness. Mo Fan even attempted to kill his fifth uncle while escaping, right Mo Pian?"

Mo Pian nodded, confirming the truth in his words.

"Even now, he is wanted by the Mo Family. They only want their skill from him but he refuses to return it!" Ashen concluded as if decreeing the crime of a criminal.

"What? Mo Fan stole the skill from his own family?" The raging Phoenix peak master was shocked at this exposed truth.

"N-No, It isn't like that!" Mo Fan shouted in denial, gathering everyone's attention.

Mo Fan planned to explain what had happened when Ashen interrupted with his voice: "What? Now you want to deny it since your true colors have been exposed?

Everyone, I also got to know another amazing fact. When the Mo Family asked for their skill from him. He made a ridiculous story about the book's pages floating in the air and sticking to his body. He says that's how he learned the skill and the book is not with him!"

Mo Fan wanted to clarify, however, Ashen didn't give him a chance: "Mo Family also offered to let them enter his sea of consciousness to copy the contents of the skill from his memories, however, he refused. Surely he is hiding the book.

At last, I just want to warn you all. If you accept him into your peak, Mo Family will become your enemy unless you surrender him!"

The peak masters were conflicted now.

Was a Mo Fan reason enough to make Mo family your enemy?

The patriarch was a king realm cultivator and they were just at the core formation realm. It wasn't worth it.

And to hit the last nail on the head, Ashen added: "Also, ask Mo Fan's spirit's level. You should at least know his potential before taking him in!"

Peak master found his suggestion reasonable as they looked at Peak Master Xia to ask him.

"Mo Fan, what is the level of your spirit?" Peak master Xia asked gently.

Mo Fan was reluctant, but answered nevertheless: "I-Its 3-star!"

"What? Only 3-star?" The rising phoenix Peak master was the first to react.

"Peak Master Xia, you can have him. I don't think I want him anymore!" He said with a smile, taking a step back.

"Yes Yes, You were the one who saved him. He is fated to join your peak!" The old Peak master said.

The raging peak master also sighed: "Peak Master Xia, Though I wanted him to join my peak, I don't think I deserve him since you saved him. congratulations!"

Peak Master Xia was also considering her decision when her gaze fell on Mo Fan. He was on the verge of crying.

"Why Why Why? Why does he appear to ruin my life every time? You!... I swear I'll kill you! How dare you humiliate me like this? How dare you make my life this miserable?" Mo Fan roared in his mind, making his mind.

He didn't even know that this man was the same man who made his lover Ling Yun his maid!

No One knew how he would react when he will find out.

Peak Master Xia, on the other hand, sighed, pitying Mo Fan.

"Mo Fan, come with me! From now on you're from my peak!" Peak Master Xia said, getting ready to leave.

"Peak Master Xia, I also want to join your peak!" Mo Pian stepped forward, bowing.

"I too, I also want to join!" Luo Can also expressed his intentions.

Peak master Xia nodded, accepting them: "Alright, follow me!"

The four of them left for their peak.

Meanwhile, Luo Pu appeared beside Ashen, whispering into his ears: "Young Master Ashen, Not many people know this but Peak Master Xia is the Princess of the Xia Kingdom!"

"Oh!" Ashen smiled as he understood everything.
