Harness Cultivator

While Lee Tao cursed in his mind about being stagnant in his cultivation, Lin Cheng held a complicated expression.

After all, he had just exposed his true nature to everyone and no one was looking at him with a polite expression anymore.

'Damn it, my entire plan is ruined and it's all his fault.' Lin Cheng held a resentful gaze at Lee Tao.

Everything originated from Lee Tao that had caused him to lose not only his supporters but also dragged his reputation to the mud.

"Oi, I know I'm handsome and all. But please, it's disgusting when a man like you stares at me so intensely." Lee Tao said as he showed a disgusted look at Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng twitched his mouth.

As much as he wanted to rush in and beat the crap out of Lee Tao, he didn't dare to risk it.

'Lee Tao… just exactly who are you?' Lin Cheng wondered silently.

He had never seen an Elementary Spirit Realm capable or much less killed multiple Profound Spirit Realms effortlessly.

"I-I thought you left…" Yao Meixiang held a complicated expression when she looked at Lee Tao.

She doesn't know how to face Lee Tao as of this moment. Her heart has been shattered by him when he decisively left her alone to fend for herself.

However, her heart began to melt again when Lee Tao came back for her and killed the others ruthlessly that were trying to harm them.

Such a rollercoaster emotional ride was not her forte nor did she wish to experience it ever again.

Lee Tao waved at her as he smiled kindly. 'Thank heaven you're still alive otherwise, my profound qi farm would be gone.'

Lee Tao walked toward Yao Meixiang as he glanced her up and down.

Noticing there weren't any injuries on her body, Lee Tao nodded his head.

"Xiao Chu, are you sure Yao Meixiang had that kind of physique?" Lee Tao then asked Xiao Chu mentally.

"Yes, I have confirmed it based on the data I received." Xiao Chu replied.

"Also, didn't you say you hated hypocrites the most?" she added.

Lee Tao nodded his head.

"Then aren't you hating on yourself as well? Given the fact that you're a hypocrite too." Xiao Chu blatantly said.

Lee Tao almost choked on his own saliva when he heard Xiao Chu's words.

"Xiao Chu, remember this clearly. Hating on something and being that something is different." Lee Tao said, hoping to clarify some misunderstandings from Xiao Chu.

"Xiao Chu does not comprehend." Xiao Chu shrugged as she then vanished from sight.

Lee Tao shook his head slightly as he still had a long way to go in convincing Xiao Chu how magnanimous a person he was.

"Are you alright?" Yao Meixiang suddenly asked when Lee Tao remained in a daze for over a minute.

Since the conversation between Lee Tao and Xiao Chu could only be heard by them. The others had remained ignorant as they only saw Lee Tao staring in a daze.

Lee Tao smiled at Yao Meixiang as he nodded his head.

He then patted her head slightly and mumbled softly, "Make sure to live long and cultivate hard. My cultivation depends on you."

"What did you just say?" Yao Meixiang raised an eyebrow. "I didn't hear it."

"It's fine-- I'm just saying there's a pond up ahead that could increase your cultivation base." Lee Tao said as he changed the topic.

Although a bit confused, Yao Meixiang nodded her head but her expression changed when she made eye contact with Lin Cheng.

Memories of Lin Cheng launching himself toward her to attack were still vivid in her mind.

Yao Meixiang unconsciously took a step back and hid behind Lee Tao.

Lin Cheng twitched his mouth as he glanced at the eyesight from Yao Meixiang, Jia Qiu, and Meng Xue.

'What a blunder…' Lin Cheng exclaimed inwardly as he dropped the gentleman-like act.

Lin Cheng stretched his body and glared at Lee Tao.

"Are we going to fight now?" Lin Cheng asked.

Lee Tao shook his head. "No thanks, I'm going to head toward the pond with them so feel free to join."

"What?!"

Lin Cheng and the women both shouted at the same time. They were thoroughly confused by Lee Tao's invitation despite the deed Lin Cheng had done.

Lee Tao smirked as he glanced at a certain corner and shouted, "Tang Lingling, you can come out now. Lin Cheng doesn't have any intention of attacking me."

Sometime later, Tang Lingling appeared in front of everyone with two daggers in her hand.

Tang Lingling ignored the gaze as she used her movement technique and arrived beside Lee Tao.

Meanwhile, Lin Cheng gasped in horror when he saw the flawless movement of Tang Lingling.

"S-Such precise control of her profound qi and soundless movement…" Lin Cheng muttered as he became cautious of Tang Lingling.

'Her cultivation as Profound Spirit Realm must be fake…' Lin Cheng was dumbfounded as he wondered what would have happened if he actually attacked Lee Tao when he was distracted.

"Young Master, what are we going to do to Lin Cheng?" Tang Lingling said as she warned Lee Tao about leaving his enemy alive.

"Listen, I already said he can come if he wishes to. So no more talking about fighting." Lee Tao said coldly.

"If anyone disagrees with me then go ahead and fight," he added.

Tang Lingling bowed slightly as she apologized for her words. "Please forgive me, Young Master."

Lee Tao nodded his head as he suddenly jumped up. "Carry me, Tang Lingling."

Hearing Lee Tao's order, Tang Lingling carried him up. Her arms wrapped around Lee Tao as she supported his waist with her cultivation.

"Now let's get moving to the pond." Lee Tao pointed in a direction.

Tang Lingling nodded as she began walking toward the pond, ignoring the shocked expression of everyone.

Yao Meixiang gave one last glance at Lin Cheng before turning around and chasing after Lee Tao. Meng Xue and Jia Qiu grunted slightly as they followed after Lee Tao.

Lee Tao laughed silently at this development.. 'Aigoo Lin Cheng, scorned by everyone now hahaha.'
