The Psychopath's Harem

"You trust your eyes too much, don't you." Xia Tian suddenly said, which made Ye Suyin's eyelashes flicker.

After a while, she smiled softly. "I trust my eyes? ... From my birth, my eyes have always shown me the way of light, they have guided me towards my darkest times... They helped me distinguish between truth and lies. They helped me separate the boundaries between people who care for me and who do not... Why won't I trust them?"

Her words were quiet, but they radiated her faith in her ability. She had an aura of confidence while talking about her eyes.

Xia Tian laughed, "Right! After listening to you, even I hope, that I should have an ability similar to yours."

Ye Suyin's expression changed in his words.

"Something similar to my ability..." she whispered.

After a moment of silence, she spoke again, "You probably wouldn't like it."

"Like what?"

Ye Suyin took a deep breath, a serious expression appeared on her beautiful face. "This ability... It isn't at all good. Sometimes it helps but sometimes not... Sometimes it is better to live in an illusion, as the truth can hurt. My eyes show me the truth, there are times the truth is not pleasant... Maybe your eyes aren't that bad, no, it looks beautiful on you." she said while looking at Xia Tian's silver eyes, no matter how many times she sees them, it attracts her every time.

Xia Tian nodded. "So, what if you had an option? what will you choose? The eyes of truth which can discern truth from lies or a pair of normal eyes like me?"

His words made Ye Suyin ponder for a bit.

Eyes of truth or normal eyes?

On thinking deeply, a chuckle escaped her mouth. "Do I have an option?"

"Right, we don't have the option to choose!" Xia Tian laughed along with her, but he was laughing at another thing.

Option to choose? Even he doesn't have the option to be born...

Nobody has, we are just born and thrown into this world, some perceive this world as cruel, and some search for heaven.

In the end, you survive, that is the only goal... Dying is always an option... But can you?

Do you dare to die?

Xia Tian was now making Ye Suyin open up to him.

To make someone open up to you, ask them about the phase where they had experienced the most amount of emotions, in most cases, it is their childhood.

Asking someone about their childhood experiences is the best way to make them open up to you, make sure to note down the time they are happy while talking about their childhood and if there is any pattern, note it down. It can help you learn about their habits even if they aren't aware of them.

A person has four sides, one he knows as well as other people also know it.

Another, he is unaware of but other people are aware of.

Another, he is aware but other people aren't aware of it.

Another, neither he nor the other people are aware of.

Ye Suyin had most emotions associated with her eyes, so the best way to build effective communication with her is to talk about her eyes rather than her childhood.

Luo Xue was silently observing her master, every second the admiration in her eyes was growing, though she was still wondering, what her master meant by the art of planting seeds.

[Is it some kind of tree?] she thought.

Xia Tian stops suddenly in his tracks making Ye Suyin stare at him in confusion.

"??"

"What if it is wrong." he suddenly spoke making Ye Suyin's mind even more chaotic. She glanced at him for an explanation.

"What if your eyes are wrong? What if they don't work?" he said.

Understanding his words, a complicated expression appeared on Ye Suyin's face.

She can't help but think. "What if her eyes fail?"

Sensing that his purpose has been completed, Xia Tian got to the most important part.

"Nevermind, I was speaking nonsense. You don't need to think much about it. Just forget it." he spoke hurriedly and pulled Ye Suyin along with him.

Ye Suyin was left in a daze, soon she shook her head. Her eyes have always been with her, they can't betray her.

But no matter how much she tried, she can't forget what Xia Tian said.

This is the art of planting seeds.

Ye Suyin would normally just forget Xia Tian's words, but in this case, a seed of doubt has been planted by him when he said "Nevermind, I was speaking nonsense... Forget about it."

These words of his will force Ye Suyin to focus and remember his previous words.

What if her eyes don't work?

This is an example of insinuation.

This is a trick to plant a seed of doubt in someone's mind which would someday grow.

There was a time when kings were thought of as the servants of God, who were crowned by God himself, their authority was unchallenged.

But then, an artistic work was published that for the first time challenged the authority of the King.

At that time the person who published it was hanged to death, people deemed him as manic, someone who challenged the god himself.

And nearly after 50 years of his death, the seed which he had planted grown up, and for the first time in history, a king was publicly executed. [A/N: Charles I in the year 1649.]

A seed of doubt germinated into an idea that challenged people's existing beliefs.

..........

"Why haven't they come out already?" Lin Huan was patiently waiting for Ye Suyin and Xia Tian, the idea of going back again did occur to his mind, but after remembering the intimate moments between the both, he dared not.

"!!" suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulders startling him.

Lin Huan's body tensed, and he instantly turned around.

"Are you sure, he is your escort?" Xia Tian asked Ye Suyin, the latter just nodded lightly.

Xia Tian scanned Lin Huan with the system who was curiously looking at him.

::::::::::::::::::

Seeing her Luo Xue sighed in admiration, sage realm at a such young age. Though, the girl is unaware that she is wasting her potential in this small place, going to any high-level realm will help her increase her cultivation over time.

Li Nan who was disguised as Lin Huan shuddered when Xia Tian's silver eyes peered at her, she felt as if she was being looked through by him, he was able to unearth her all secrets, but the more she stared into his eyes, the more she got attracted to it.

It was the effect of the natural charm of Xia Tian's divine eyes.

Li Nan who wanted to escape from the situation parted her lips and suddenly spoke. "Who are you?" though, she already knew about him, but as Ye Suyin's escort, the formalities were needed.

Xia Tian was amused by this woman, why was she dressing as a man? there were many thoughts, but it was clear this girl wanted to be perceived as male by others.

Does she not like being a woman?

Li Nan raised an eyebrow after not getting any response from Xia Tian.

"Boy, I don't have much patience." this time Li Nan used her aura to suppress him.

Ye Suyin frowned and glanced at Xia Tian anxiously, then she turned to Li Nan and spoke "He is with me!"

Her voice did not affect Li Nan, the pressure radiating from her didn't diminish at all but increased.

Li Nan's gaze narrowed at Ye Suyin.

"Is he your fiance?" she asked.

Ye Suyin was engaged it was no secret to other families, though the identity was not revealed, Li Nan assumed Xia Tian to be the same person because of his looks and clothes. But now, after seeing the look on Ye Suyin's face, Li Nan needed to confirm.

What if this is another man who tricked this girl?

Ye Suyin who was faced with a sudden question was left in a difficult situation. Her gaze swept through Xia Tian who had a calm smile on his face, he wasn't fazed by Li Nan's aura at all.

After hearing no words from Ye Siyin, Li Nan confirmed something is wrong with this boy.

Immediately, an immense aura radiated from her body, two twin swords appeared in her both hands, and the silver blades glowed with profound energy ready to slash at him any moment.

Xia Tian looked at the swords at nodded.

"Those are quite good," his words didn't make Li Nan relaxed but further alerted her.

"He is still behaving like this? Does he have reinforcements coming in?" she thought.

She immediately made up her mind, if this boy had a backup, she would have to finish this fight as soon as possible.

Without waiting any more, Li Nan moved.

"Wait!" Ye Suyin shouted as a huge amount of energy gushed out of her body, but it was already too late.

Li Nan's swords slashed toward Xia Tian, the latter was unfazed seeing it, he tapped his feet lightly on the ground, and a vortex was instantly opened in front of him.

"!!"

Seeing a vortex appearing out of nowhere, Li Nan was stunned. She took a step back in panic but it was already late.

The vortex radiated boundless energy, it sucked Li Nan's figure without giving her any time to react.

Ye Suyin's eyes widened at the scene, their moves were too fast for her to see. She looked at Xia Tian who hasn't even moved a single step from his earlier place, he still had a confident look.

There was only one thought that came to Ye Suyin's mind.

Monster!!

A spirit formation realm cultivator defeating a sage realm cultivator!?

This was unheard of !!

"Where is he gone," she said.

Xia Tian shrugged casually as if it was an ordinary feat for him. "Look Ahead," he said, after a moment a vortex was opened again.
