No one in the room noticed.

Xia Tian's mouth turned into a grin, the moment Xia Chen forced Ran Yuming to sit next to him.

Xia Tian had an amusing expression on his face, as if found a new toy, his joy couldn't be controlled at all.

At least on the outside, Xia Tian displays much more emotions than anyone else, as for the inside no one knows...

He had decided what will he do with this son of Destiny!!

He will Fix him!!

He will make him a real cultivator and a man!!

He will remove all the qualities from him that this foolish son of destinies have !!

This will become Xia Tian's one of the best experiment.

Xia Tian knows the son of destiny best, and why they can never reach the void realm.

Because they are killed after their purpose is completed !!

Why they are killed after their purpose is completed !!

It is because the hand of Destiny is always protecting them from shadows, therefore the son of destiny never truly realizes the reality.

As long as the destiny hands are behind them they are protected, but what happens after the purpose to restore balance in this world is completed?

Naturally, Destiny removes her protection from over their head.

Borrowed power is never truly yours...

And these fools who do not even realize this still behave as earlier, thinking that everything will work out in the end, and get themselves killed.

Sometimes their old enemies kill them.

Sometimes they got killed facing a strong enemy, still believing luck is on their side.

Sometimes they would be killed by the feud between their harem who earlier behaved like sisters with each other.

Women can never live in the same room without bickering with each other...

How can these sons of destiny harem be all sisters with each other?

The son of destiny never realizes this and gives complete power to women in the harem and becomes nothing but their boy toy in the end, who just follows their wishes and tries to make all of their loved ones happy and live a peaceful life.

But if one tries to make everyone happy would he be happy?

There can never be eternal peace or chaos, they are a cycle that comes and goes, it fuels the development of all living beings, and without it, they will be stagnant.

The greatest inventions and development are made during the era of the wars!! Necessity is the mother of all inventions.

But did the son of destiny knows this? No!! Else why would they pursue eternal peaceful life with their women?

This is also a clever plan of destiny, as the son of destiny after completing their purpose is nothing but a disturbance to the power scale of this world.

Why do you think destiny always picks up, kids of 18 years old, broken and inexperienced persons as MC?

It is so they can be easily killed by their earlier enemies once destiny removes her protection from over their heads.

Do you ever not wonder why destiny never choose those old foxes in the caves and gave them the same cheats who can fight toe to toe with the son of destiny without cheats?

Because most of the old foxes will realize the abnormality early on, that they are being played with, not to forget they won't commit the same mistake as these virgins which ultimately get these sons of destiny killed after completing their purpose.

Can't destiny directly dispose of these old foxes?

She can't.

Destiny can manipulate events and never people.

Destiny authority is limited.

Some of these fools believe they are going against destiny, hahaha.

Do they believe they will fight destiny herself, with their power?

Idiots, don't even know that the power they have is borrowed from destiny herself.

As for the purpose behind the creation of the son of destinies... And the catastrophes which they have to stop to bring balance in the world...

[A/N: Will be explained later in the story, too much filler for now.]

At this moment a certain son of destiny was completely unaware that he had already become a guinea pig for Xia Tian.

His faith is in Xia Tian's hands now.

Let the game begi- .... Oops experiment begins.

Xia Tian glimpsed at Xia Chen and said with a serious voice. "Little Chen, I think you shouldn't let this servant sit with us."

Xia Chen who was sitting quietly creased his brows at his sudden remark, if not for the fact that his sister liked this brat, he would already have disciplined him.

And was he called little just now? Haha, ignorant fools, don't even know he had lived for a whole few billion years.

He was the great heavenly demon king.

Xiao Chen had completely assumed the identity of Xia Chen thus thinking of Xia Ying as his sister, and Xia Leng as his father.

"And what does it have to do with brother Tian that what my women do?" He said.

Ran Yuming's beautiful face turned a big ugly, she thought she should just leave the seat before the matter gets serious, but would Xia Chen let her do that?

His beliefs are deeply rooted inside of him, he caught her hand before she can move.

Xia Leng was quietly looking at the show in front of him, with no intention to stop them, a elder shouldn't intervene until needed, this is the way the world works.

Xia Tian smiled. "She may be your woman, but she is also a servant of the Xia clan. It may cause misunderstandings if some outsiders suddenly walk in, they may say some confidential things in front of her they shouldn't say."

[A/N: I can't understand the logic behind servants sitting with their masters. Even in the real world, this does not happen. It can cause too many misunderstandings and legal problems in some cases.

Ever heard of agency by estoppel? ]

Xia Chen snorted at his words and replied.

"But she is my woman, I trust her."

"Haha, is that so... " Xia Tian laughed and turned to Xia Leng. "Old man, does Xia family maids when joining are told the condition that they have to serve their masters when asked?"

Xia Leng nodded, unable go to understand where this conversation was going, he did not mind the fact that he was called an old man by him, though Xia Chen as a filial son couldn't keep him calm.

"How dare you disrespect father!!"

Xia Chen roared and instantly used void steps, an immortal technique, his body moved at the fastest speed toward Xia Tian.

"This technique, it is too fast. Even I can't see it." Xia Leng muttered.

*Bam*

The next moment, something happened, that astonished everyone present in the room.

Xia Tian was still seated in his earlier place, while Xia Chen's body was lying under his feet, and Xia Chen's face was facing towards the ground.

"Argh!!"

Xia Chen groaned in pain.

"Young Master!!" Ram Yuming stood up and screamed in worry.

"When did he move?" Xia Leng mumbled as he was unable to see through Xia Tian.

Xia Tian kept a polite expression and lifted his legs slowly.

"Next time, It will be your head."

Xia Chen who was ready to fight again saw the look in Xia Tian's eyes and shivered.

This gaze, he had seen this once!!

His body instinctively moved slightly backward in fear.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"No, this person only has spirit formation realm cultivation, he can't be that man, the Master of souls."

He inwardly convinced himself and moved back to his place.

Even if he is not that man, Xia Chen dares not to act rashly.

He did not know, but he was scared and his legs were trembling.

The guards who saw this can't help but whisper among themselves.

"Young master Tian is too fierce."

"Yea, I thought Young master Chen would win this."

"Idiot, stop talking."

Another guard reprimanded them, and they all shut their mouth. But the rumor of this incident will soon be spread among the whole Xia Family.

"What do you mean by earlier words Tian?" Xia Leng questioned.

He ignored the earlier fight, as a cultivator, he has much more sense than Xia Chen.

Xia Tian instead of replying asked something else.

"Old man, what is the punishment if a servant tries to manipulate a member of the Xia Family."

"It is punishable by death."

Xia Leng answered, Xia Tian's smile got even wider at his word, he was enjoying this game... He looked at Xia Leng nodded and spoke again.

"Then, it is simple, this woman tried to manipulate Xia Chen, shouldn't she be punished as well?"

Xia Tian's words enraged Xia Chen, but this time he was patient, or more accurately he was too scared to disturb him.

Ran Yuming frowned.

"What do young master Xia mean by his words?"

She was comparatively far calmer, as she was sure that she had never manipulated Xia Chen.

Xia Tian laughed inwardly.

"Isn't it clear, what she did to earn the trust of Little Chen in the first place? Wasn't her duty to serve him? Wasn't her duty to take care of his daily needs including physical needs? How can she earn his trust by doing something she was originally liable to do?"

Ran Yuming was speechless on this, indeed she did not do anything extra, wasn't she just performing the work of a maid?

"But this is not enough proof." It was Xia Leng who spoke.

"Patience old man, I was coming to that as well."

Xia Tian then shifted his gaze to Ran Yuming, not hiding his lust at all. He scanned her from top to bottom, making her extremely uncomfortable.

In all these years, if there is any emotion that Xia Tian preserved inside himself that is Lust.

Though, in his case, he isn't consumed by lust.

He consciously erased all other emotions inside himself, not suppress but erase, many people misunderstand suppressing emotions as erasing them.

One shouldn't suppress his emotions, or else they would burst one day.

Seven worlds ago, when he was born, when he was still a kid, he willingly let himself be caught by a chronic disease known as Alexithymia.

[A/N: Should I create a chapter about Alexithymia, and how one can willingly develop this disease? It is chronic though, be warned.]

"Now just answer my questions, miss Yuming, have you slept with Xia Chen yet."

"No, neither I nor my sister Ran Ling had." Ran Yuming shook her head, however on the thought of Ran Ling, she remembered that her sister was missing from yesterday.

Little did she know, she would meet her sister soon.

"Good." Xia Tian nodded and asked again.

"Was there any instance where Little Chen tried to make move on any of you and the other one suddenly entered and disturbed him? And if yes, was there any instance you did the same thing as well?"

On this Ran Yuming's facial expressions changed, she faced Xia Chen who was also curiously looking towards her.

In the end, she sighed. "There was, and yes even I did the same, I-It was just because I was jealous."

Xia Chen opened his eyes wide at her.

Ran Yuming's eyes had already turned misty, she realized she had lost his trust.

Xia Tian laughed yet again.

"Haha, a jealous maid. What a pretty story we have"

"Now, my next question, Little Chen, now you tell me was there any instance where you entered your room and saw them in an embarrassing or ambitious position and later that they pretended to be angry with you and made you apologize."

Xia Chen at this point was deeply thinking, but in the end, he honestly answered. "Yes, I once entered my room and both were changing clothes after which the same happened as Brother Tian said."

Hearing this Xia Tian shrugged.

"Now we are clear, she manipulated Xia Chen into submission."

"" How?? ""

All the other men's in the room looked at him with question marks, how the hell had he deduced this conclusion? They do not understand anything at all.

However, female guards shook their heads towards Ran Yuming with pity, her fate is sealed.

At this point Ram Yuming's back was drenched in a cold sweat, she did not do it intentionally!!

I-It just the instinct of women that they do to dominate from behind the scenes in a relationship, they simply can't control it or that is what they want to believe.

Women are born with more perceptiveness towards non-verbal communication, how can Ran Yuming at that time not know what they were doing...

"You men are truly pitiful, sigh"

One of the female guards spoke, but soon she sealed her lips as she understood the mistake she had committed.

Xia Tian did not mind her and urged her to continue.

"Don't worry girl, you can continue and why don't you explain it, to me it looks like you understood the case."

She did want to speak further, but under Xia Leng's inquisitive gaze she was forced to speak.

She took and deep breath and completed the story.

"It is just as young master Tian said, this maid here tried to manipulate young master Chen, after getting into a relationship with him, she knew she had a lower ground, as they neither had the power nor background nor wisdom to compete with young master Chen.."

"So, when master Chen entered his own room and spotted them without clothes, he must have panicked a bit, after seeing his panicked face, this maid here must have suddenly gotten an idea, she must have screamed and faked an embarrassed expression and immediately made him left his room. Later, they made him apologize for entering the room at the wrong time by pretending to be angry, thus gaining a high ground above young master Chen, and making him care about them more."

"From the beginning, it was their fault to change clothes in young master Chen's room, but not only they did not apologize to him but they manipulated him to guilt trip him and made him apologize instead."

"They were never embarrassed getting seen by him naked, to begin with, once the young master left, they must be laughing among themselves, even if they were embarrassed it doesn't change anything."

"Since they were just maids and serving their master is their duty, Ran Ling may have been the maid of young lady Shuiyao, but even though she knew that her maid had a relationship with young master Chen and she allowed it, therefore that excuse does not make any sense."

"In the end, both played with young master Chen's kindness against him. I dare to say it was neither the first nor the last time they did that, they must have done similar incidents after that."

The female guard did not forget to add the fire to the fuel taking advantage of the situation. She knew that Ran Yuming's faith was doomed, how can she let the opportunity slide?

Since both Ran Yuming and Ran Ling looked pretty, it was natural they would receive the attention of other servants and guards in the clan.

And what one woman hates the most is another more beautiful woman.

Men may not know about women, but a woman surely knows about another woman and they definitely hate each other.

They will behave like best friends and all on the outside, inwardly completely being aware that both are manipulating each other.

Women compete with each other secretly against literally everything.

They had a tacit agreement that unless one woman accepts by her mouth that she is manipulating the other, till then, they wouldn't bring this issue up.

As for whether this behavior is nurtured or nature?

This is nurtured, since, women are taught as a kid to smile in front of guests no matter how much they hate them.

They can smile and curse the person at the same time, their expression and inner monologues are completely different, unlike men.

Men show the expression which they are thinking, if they are cursing someone inside it would reflect on their faces as they rarely worry about their expressions.

They are not told like women to pretend and put on a fake masks while serving the food to the visitors.

It is the easiest to manipulate kids.

Women from the beginning of their lives are taught to put on a mask over their expressions.

One can say in the current environment, women are born manipulative and vicious.

This is why Xia Tian hates women.

He hates manipulation especially if it is against him, this is also the reason he killed his birth parents.

But this is also the reason he loves women.

Think of a man with cunningness and viciousness of women.

He is born a man, so he doesn't bother to know more about them.

Men are simple creatures they mean what they speak.

If they say they are thinking nothing, it means they are thinking nothing.

Instead, he wants to learn everything about women, learn their cunningness and viciousness.

This is the reason he never removed lust from his mind.

This is what Xia Tian wanted, this is why hates and loves women at the same time.

Xia Tian's expression was currently back to his devil-like smile.

He was enjoying this.

"Now tell me, Xia Chen, what decision will you make after knowing that this woman manipulated you? Isn't she your enemy now?"

Xia Chen's expression turned blank at Xia Tian's words.

Xia Leng was also waiting for his decision, she is his maid so it should be Xia Chen's responsibility to take care of her. As for Xia Leng, he did not care about the life of a servant. He wasn't as naive as he looks.

Xia Chen's belief was shattered.

His belief was cruel to an enemy while loving to his women.

He never thought of this possibility.

He always had absolute trust in his women.

But now his woman manipulated him, she is his enemy now.

He should be cruel to his enemies.

But if he is cruel to his woman, who is now his enemy now, how can he love her?

Those are contradicting objectives?

How can he maintain his belief?

He can go against the whole world for this woman.

But in this situation, his mind stopped working.

His belief had already been shattered.

He does not even know that he had already become a guinea pig for Xia Tian and was part of his experiment.
