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

Chapter 40: Does he not hear his own words?

"P-Phoenix Feather Sect?" The guards asked with a shocked expression.

"Go and Inform your sect master that the young master of the Phoenix Feather Sect accompanied by Mo Chen from the Mo Family's main branch wants to meet him."

Mo Chen announced as he showed his family token too.

Even one of them was a big deal for a sect like the Vine Bull sect, however, with both of them, they came as top priority.

The sect wouldn't want to offend such big shots, right?

A young master of the Phoenix Feather sect meant that he was the direct disciple of the sect leader and should be a genius and talented individual whom they couldn't afford to make an enemy out of.

The guards without wasting any time went into the sect to inform the sect master of their visit.

In Just a minute, the sect master's voice came to the gate:

"Let the precious guests come in, don't make them wait!"

Hearing that, the guards opened the gate before guiding Ashen and Mo Chen to the chambers of the Sect master.

Entering the chambers, Mo Chen and Ashen were welcomed with the sight of a large room with a pond full of fish and comfortable seating.

An old man with a long beard sat on the seating before gesturing for them to sit.

Ashen and Mo Chen sat as he wanted.

The old man then made the guard leave before introducing himself:

"Greetings young friends, I am the sect master whom you wanted to meet.

Tell me what reason has brought you to this old man's chambers?"

The Vine Bull Sect master looked at them after finishing his question, seemingly curious as to the reason for which these guests had visited him.

He wasn't particularly worried because he knew that these individuals were not from Xuin City and came from a more powerful region of the Xia kingdom.

They shouldn't have any animosity with his sect and at most would be enemies with a disciple of their sect who would've offended them.

If that was the case, the sect master wouldn't hesitate to punish that disciple to please these important guests.

"Vine Bull Sect Master, I have some questions and a request for you.

I wonder if your esteemed self would be ready to help me with them?"

Ashen informed of his reason for the visit with a polite smile.

This gesture of giving the sect master a face made the sect master pleased and joyful.

He had expected these young masters with powerful backgrounds to be arrogant, however, they were pretty much polite and with manners.

Unknown to him, that would be the case if it was only Mo Chen here. He wouldn't care for this small sect's sect master's face or showing etiquette.

Ashen, however, was different. He understood that this small gesture could help this meeting go smoothly.

The sect master would be much more ready to help someone who treated him with respect than someone who didn't.

"Yes, Yes. Tell me, young master, what are those questions? I would try my best to answer them.

And as for the request, I can only give a reply after I hear your request"

The Sect master informed with a smile before revealing a conflicted face.

He couldn't just promise to fulfill their any request without even hearing it.

What if the request was too much for even him to fulfill?

He was just a core formation first-stage cultivator.

He couldn't be too sure to fulfill just any request.

"I can understand, sect master.

Please just answer my questions first.

I will tell you my request afterward."

"Alright, you can start with the questions, young master."

The sect master instructed with a polite and respectful tone.

Ashen nodded before he informed:

"I want to know about the girl named Ling Yun and the reason for her imprisonment in your sect"

"Ling Yun...?" The sect master murmured, trying to remember the girl with this name.

Soon, his eyes shined as he was reminded of the girl who had been imprisoned in his sect some weeks ago for life imprisonment.

"Young Master, This Ling Yun girl you speak of was accepted as an inner disciple of my sect because of her high talent and 6-star spirit.

She also showed a bright personality and potential that could've helped her reach high heights in the future.

I was planning on accepting her as my disciple, however, some weeks ago, she offended the young master of the Bi family, Bi Chi.

He is a core disciple of my family with the Bi family backing him. He accused her of stealing high-level cultivation resources and herbs from him.

The sect had to mediate the matter and thus, we checked the belongings of Ling Yun and sure enough, we found all the cultivation resources that had been stolen from Bi Chi.

Although, she kept screaming that she didn't know how those resources came among her belongings, however, all the proof was against her and the sect didn't have a choice other than to punish her with life imprisonment.

I wanted to reduce her sentence to only 5 years, however, Bi Chi threatened the sect to increase her sentence to the maximum to set an example for the others.

Even now I feel hateful that I couldn't help the girl. My heart said that she was being framed, but, I couldn't act based on my emotions."

The Sect master had taken a liking to Ling Yun and hated to see her being framed for something she didn't do.

He knew that it was an easy feat for someone of Bi Chi's status to frame an innocent girl like that.

"See Brother Ashen, This Bi family is sure brazen. Even this young master of a branch family didn't hesitate to use his family influence to frame this powerless girl"

Mo Chen said with an angry expression, seeming to be frustrated with the actions of this Bi Chi.

He wanted to change Ashen's view of the Bi family and see them as an evil family that wasn't worthy of the status they had.

A Prince like Ashen could easily destroy a family like Bi Family with the help of the emperor.

If he could make Ashen take action against the Bi Family, that would make the Mo family, the only family with the most power in the Xia kingdom without any rival.

"Oh, look who is speaking?

The young master had already captured two beautiful powerless girls using his family influence before I met him.

Does he not hear his own words?"

Ashen thought before giving Mo Chen a smile, Acting to agree with his words.

Next, he pondered on what the Sect Master said about Ling Yun:

"From what this sect master has told me, I can already deduce the world's will's original plan.

This Ling Yun has a high talent and is sure a heroine.

Also, This sect is also not too powerful and is optimum for a protagonist to grow.

If my guess is correct, The world's will was going to have Mo Fan enroll in this sect with the motive of freeing Ling Yun.

Even if he offended someone here, He could've handled them as this is a small sect with not-so-powerful disciples.

At most, the disciples will be at peak nascent soul realm as the higher realm disciples would join one of the top ten sects.

With Mo Fan's cheat, he can handle these nascent soul cultivators easily.

Other than that, his only enemy would've been the Mo Family's Xuin branch.

However, that was the case if I hadn't interfered, but now that I have interfered, Mo Fan would be hunted by the Mo Family's main branch.

But I am sure this sect has a hidden master who will protect him in the face of danger, therefore, I can't let him join this sect.

Let's make him join the Phoenix Feather Sect, hehe.

In a large sect like Phoenix Feather Sect, Mo Fan wouldn't be able to escape unscathed upon acting too overconfident and prideful. There are many powerful disciples who would be happy to end his miserable life.

Also, there is another protagonist named, Han Yujin.

These two protagonists would surely not be able to get along.

They will eat each other's luck and I will reap the rewards.

Also, Keeping Mo Fan close to me gives me the benefit of reaping Villain Points from him easily.

Everything fits perfectly."

After this long contemplation, Ashen arrived at one conclusion and that was to make Mo Fan join the Phoenix Feather Sect instead of the Vine Bull Sect.

For that Ashen needed to remove the thing that motivated Mo Fan to join the Vine Bull sect - Ling Yun.

His plan was to free her from here and keep her as his maid in the Phoenix Feather Sect.

He was supposed to have two maids for his own as promised by the sect, however, hadn't received any till now.

Therefore, He found them for himself.

One would be Shiyue who would become his maid to fulfill her oath and the second would be Ling Yun.

Making Ling Yun his maid, he would surely be able to anger Mo Fan and collect Villain Points.

His end goal of doing all this was to collect Villain Points after all.

He needed Villain Points to grow strong,

Strong enough to rule over this new world in which he had reincarnated.
