Harness Cultivator

After Elder Qiu managed to convince Lee Ching to not make any unnecessary moves. They both decided to call it a day and take a rest.

Days soon went by, and before everyone knew it. The day of the auction was fast approaching.

The commotion around the Tianyun Kingdom has been at an all-time high.

Every clan was busy fixing their attire and counting their current wealth to bid for the upcoming auction.

None of the clan doubted the items being auctioned were some mediocre items. 

That was how high the reputation of Madam Liu is and how credible she is in the people\'s hearts.

The clan that received Madam Liu\'s invitation cards was extremely prideful and didn\'t have to rush toward the auction event site.

However, those with an ordinary invitation card had to be early as they hoped to grab the best seats available for them.

Despite all the commotion outside, a person was still sleeping soundly in his room until a knock occurred.

"Young Master, the day of the auction is going to be up soon. You need to wake up and get prepared for it." Tang Lingling\'s voice resounded outside.

"Nghn, stop bothering me already." Lee Tao said in a muffled tone.

Clearly, he was still half-awake and unwilling to get out of bed.

Tang Lingling was used to his behavior in not waking up early as she decided to open the door without permission.

After that, she walked toward the sleepy Lee Tao. Her lips curled upward, and a wicked grin was created.

"Apologies for the offense, Young Master. But this is the order from Madam Liu." Tang Lingling whispered sweetly as she grabbed the cozy blanket from Lee Tao.

Afterward, she flung it aside and shouted at the top of her lungs.

Once again, Lee Tao\'s ears were raped in the most disgusting and unorthodox manner as he stood up in rage.

"Fucking hell, this isn\'t even a school day. Why the fuck are you screaming at my ears?" Lee Tao cursed Tang Lingling as soon as he was woken up.

Tang Lingling shrugged her shoulders.

"Madam Liu has ordered me to scream at you if necessary." Tang Lingling brushed the blame toward Madam Liu, making herself completely innocent in this regard.

\'Hmph, who told you to reject my advance when I had mustered up all my courage to give you my purity.\' She sneered inwardly.

"Ugh, one day… I\'ll make sure you will regret your action for today." Lee Tao said in a serious tone.

"Waking a man up from his godly sleep is a sin." He added.

Sometime later, Lee Tao and Tang Lingling head out of the room as they make their way through a special tunnel.

Due to the influx of people crowding around the Lee Clan, they could only make do with going out secretly.

After all, Lee Tao had no wish in accompanying any bootlickers or some random people that wanted to build a close relationship with him.

"How many people are attending the auction event?" Lee Tao asked.

"According to the report, there are about half of the population in the Tianyun Kingdom attending."

"That many huh…"

"Un, this is all thanks to Madam Liu\'s influence and capability." Tang Lingling said without hesitation.

Lee Tao clicked his tongue at the admiring tone of Tang Lingling.

\'Isn\'t it just a few thousand people? What\'s so admirable about that.\' He sneered inwardly.

After a few twists and turns, Tang Lingling suddenly stopped at a discreet entrance.

Her eyes remained close and seemed to have activated some sort of spiritual perception around the area.

\'Okay, no one is nearby…\' She thought.

Tang Lingling then turned around and asked Lee Tao kindly. 

"Please take a step back, Young Master." 

Although a bit confused by her secrecy or mysteriousness, Lee Tao wasn\'t in the mood to argue.

Thus, he nodded his head as he slowly took a few steps backward as she had requested.

Tang Lingling smiled slightly as she retrieved a talisman with some sort of weird symbol labeled on it.

Her mouth began mumbling some words, and the talisman started blinking brightly.

"Hmm, the ground seemed to be shaking…" Lee Tao mumbled when he realized a change in their terrain.

"Young Master, no need to worry about the slight fluctuation. We will arrive at the auction house soon." Tang Lingling said.

Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.

He wasn\'t worried about the fluctuation in the slightest, so it was pointless of her to warn him.

After a few more seconds, Lee Tao and Tang Lingling were surrounded by a profound light.

The profound light soon coated their entire body, and their vision became blurry.

A swooshing sound was created as they disappeared from sight.

Soon, Lee Tao found himself teleported into a grand hallway with numerous decorations and lighting around the side.

"When did our clan create such a meticulous auction house?" Lee Tao asked.

Tang Lingling smiled humbly as she took the lead and began introducing the background of the auction house.

"This auction house is not owned by the Lee Clan nor the Liu Clan, but it\'s solely owned by Madam Liu." Tang Lingling explained.

And she continued, "Since this was the Young Master\'s first public event, Madam Liu wanted to give you the best. Thus, Madam Liu made this auction house available exclusively for you to showcase to everyone in the Tianyun Kingdom."

"If that\'s the case, then what\'s with all this secrecy? Like why have a talisman to activate a teleportation and bring us to this grand hallway?" Lee Tao questioned.

Luxurious types of things were never something he cared about. 

It was ridiculous or pointless to have something so grand since cultivation and strength are all that matters in this world.

Meanwhile, Tang Lingling didn\'t find it surprising to see such a reaction from Lee Tao.

\'Sigh, Madam Liu\'s offering her personal auction house is something everyone wants to have a chance. Yet, the Young Master didn\'t even bat an eyelid about it.\' She sighed inwardly.

"Anyway, Madam Liu is waiting on the 3rd floor from here, so we should get going."
