Harness Cultivator

Chapter 12 - Forced My Hand

"Let go of your filthy hands before I stop being polite." Lee Tao held a ferocious expression as he glared at the student.

The student sneered as he clutched his clothes tighter. "You dare to make Yao Meixiang cry, our academy beauty. You're going to have to pay for your crime."

Lee Tao noticed the crowd held the same thought process and was surprised to see some females mixing in as well.

"Why are they so angry, Xiao Chu?" Lee Tao asked her mentally.

"Xiao Chu doesn't know. Xiao Chu doesn't understand the complexity of human behavior and their mindset." Xiao Chu replied.

Meanwhile, the student that was grabbing on Lee Tao's clothes became more aggressive as he raised his hand to try and punch him.

Lee Tao narrowed his eyes as he exuded his aura. Afterward, Lee Tao grabbed the student's fist in a swift motion.

"You forced my hand so don't blame me." Lee Tao sneered as he punched the student in the stomach, sending him flying.

The crowd became dumbfounded to see Lee Tao retaliate but more importantly, the fact that he was able to overwhelm the student.

"I-Isn't he just an Elementary Spirit Realm cultivator?" One of the students in the crowd muttered in disbelief.

Lee Tao tidied his clothes as he slowly walked away from the scene.

The crowd no longer blocks him either as they were confused and awestruck by his display of prowess.

Sometime later, Lee Tao arrived back at his dorm as he laid on his bed.

Xiao Chu came out of the necklace as she floated around the air.

"Xiao Chu, was I really harsh on Yao Meixiang?" Lee Tao asked her as he recalled the crowd being agitated at him.

Xiao Chu showed a confused expression. "Xiao Chu has no knowledge regarding this aspect."

Lee Tao nodded his head in understanding.

As much as he wanted to apologize to Yao Meixiang, Lee Tao knew he wasn't going to change his decision.

"Although she's rowdy and unruly, her words were genuine." Lee Tao mumbled softly.

"Unfortunately, we are two different people and our paths will never intertwine with each other."

Afterward, Lee Tao went to sleep as he was exhausted by today's event and knowing that his fiance was in the same academy as him.

Meanwhile, in the administrator's office, Song Yanmei glanced at the lovely female in front of her.

"That Liu Ying… she sent two people to my Tianyun Academy in one day." Song Yanmei twitched her brows as she glanced at the content in the recommendation letter.

"What's your relationship with Liu Ying?" Song Yanmei then asked.

"Replying to the headmaster, I'm Liu Ying's servant, Tang Lingling." Tang Lingling replied respectfully.

Song Yanmei sighed softly as she stared deeply at Tang Lingling. "Although the Tianyun Academy would be happy to accept you here, you are overqualified to be attending our academy."

And she continued, "There are no instructors here that could possibly teach you anything with your cultivation base."

Tang Lingling shook her head.

"Replying to the headmaster, I was assigned here not for the lecture but for someone else."

"You are here to oversee Lee Tao?" Song Yanmei made an educated guess.

After all, with Tang Lingling's cultivation base, she doesn't need any instruction from the Tianyun Academy.

Thus, the reason why Liu Ying would send Tang Lingling to the academy and write a personal letter could only mean she wanted to protect her son.

Tang Lingling nodded her head. "That is indeed the madam's wish and she hoped that you could allow me to attend here."

Song Yanmei rubbed her temples slightly. 'Liu Ying, Liu Ying… is my academy a playground for your son?'

"If it weren't for my relationship with Liu Ying then I would have nullified your entry to Tianyun Academy." Song Yanmei then said as she stamped on the recommendation letter.

With the stamp, Tang Lingling was officially enrolled into the Tianyun Academy.

Tang Lingling thanked Song Yanmei for granting her permission.

"As for your dorm, you are assigned in-"

"That won't be necessary."

Tang Lingling cut Song Yanmei's words off as she shook her head.

"The Madam wished for me to live in the same dorm as the young master. Although the madam had stated for me to protect him in the shadows, she was overly worried that I won't be able to assist him in time." Tang Lingling said.

Song Yanmei was holding her anger as she was the headmaster and held the highest authority in the Tianyun Academy.

"Listen, Tang Lingling. A man and a woman can not live in the same dorm." Song Yanmei said it loud and clear for Tang Lingling to understand her meaning.

However, Tang Lingling retrieved an item and handed it over to Song Yanmei.

"The madam said you would allow this arrangement with that item." Tang Lingling said, relaying Liu Ying's words to her.

Song Yanmei was about to flip out but when her eyes landed on the item, her expression turned pale.

"I-It can't be…" Song Yanmei muttered as she held the item in her hand.

"This better not be some fake otherwise, I would cut off our years of friendship." Song Yanmei then showed a fierce glare at Tang Lingling while exuding a powerful aura.

The aura was suffocating and even Tang Lingling could barely resist her aura.

Tang Lingling bit her lips as she showed a sincere expression. "The madam wouldn't dare to offer a fake item to you, headmaster. Her son is attending the Tianyun Academy and the madam cares about her son more than anything."

Song Yanmei nodded her head.

She then retracted her aura as she gave a complicated expression. "Fine, you may live in the same dorm as Lee Tao but if there are any problems that arise from you then I will follow the rule book."

Tang Lingling cupped her fist. "The headmaster can rest assured that my duty is only to protect the young master and nothing else.. As long as no one threatened to harm the young master then I would stay put."
