Harness Cultivator

With everything prepped up, it was time for Lee Tao to bid farewell.

However, Lee Tao wasn't going to be walking around and saying goodbye.

Instead, he placed a letter on the table with his profound qi embedded in it.

"Bidding farewell is one of the lamest things to do," Lee Tao smirked as he activated his movement technique.

An afterimage was quickly created as Lee Tao leaped toward the rooftop and began making his way toward the exit of the Tianyun Kingdom.

"You are really a sucker at saying goodbye huh…" Xiao Chu appeared next to Lee Tao as she teased him.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao ignored her teasing tone as he continued to head toward the exit.

Only by leaving without a trace could he prevent others from trying to follow him.

After all, the journey to the Sierra Desert was related to whether or not he could survive the backlash of his harness cultivation technique.

Just as Lee Tao was about to make his exit, he suddenly halted his movement as he became dumbfounded.

"What the fuck are you all doing here?" Lee Tao cursed aloud when he saw Liu Ying, Tang Lingling, Liu Zheng, Liu Lanfen, and the rest of the Liu Clan elders standing by the entrance.

"Fufufu, Xiao Tao, you have truly underestimated your mother." Liu Ying giggled softly as she took a step forward.

"How can I possibly let you leave alone without a proper farewell?" 

"..."

'So that exhaustion from our sex was all an act huh?' Lee Tao had instantly figured out he had been played by her acting skills.

"I should have fucked you senseless, mother." Lee Tao whispered to her.

Liu Ying nodded her head.

"What a shame though, because you didn't do it despite me begging for it." Liu Ying's smile turned wider by the minute as she outplayed Lee Tao.

He wanted to leave quietly like some sewage rat, but how could she possibly let him do so.

Thus, she had purposely orchestrated this scene as she knew he would definitely try to leave a letter and go without saying goodbye.

Lee Tao gnashed his teeth in anger.

"Hmph, since you are all here, then move aside now. I don't have time to waste." Lee Tao snorted coldly.

"Xiao Tao, we are here because we wanted to wish you well," Liu Qiu suddenly said as she stepped forward and patted his head.

"I know you always distanced yourself in the Lee Clan because of their prejudice and eyesight toward you when they discovered you were talentless. However, our Liu Clan is your true home, and whether you're talented or not, you will always be my good grandson." 

"Grandma Qiu, I understand your words…" Lee Tao said as he showed a rare smile.

He then glanced at the other members of the Liu Clan as he cupped his fist.

"Lee Tao thanks everyone for being here to wish me farewell, but seriously, let's not be cheesy and say something cringe." Lee Tao said sincerely.

His words caused everyone to laugh aloud as they had never seen Lee Tao acting like this.

Nevertheless, everyone still gave their best wishes to Lee Tao and how they will be waiting for his return.

Meanwhile, Tang Lingling was the last one to give her best wishes to Lee Tao.

"I'll be waiting here for your return, Young Master." Tang Lingling said solemnly.

Although their time may be short, Tang Lingling was thoroughly convinced to serve Lee Tao for the rest of her life.

Not even Madam Liu could take his place. 

Lee Tao simply gave a nod as he activated his movement technique and dashed toward the exit.

Liu Ying, Tang Lingling, and the rest could only watch his back as he slowly vanished from sight.

With that, Lee Tao had officially left the Tianyun Kingdom which he had resided in for 15 years.

"When will he be back?" Tang Lingling asked herself depressingly.

Liu Ying patted her back as she smiled blissfully.

"It doesn't matter if he's here or not. As long as I know I have a place in his heart, then that's all it matters." Liu Ying said to comfort her.

However, her expression quickly turned wicked as she played around with her finger.

"Hehe, only an idiot would believe that. During that night, I had already injected some of my profound qi in him secretly." Liu Ying laughed heartily as there was no way she would allow him to leave her sight.

He had only stated not to follow him, but he had never stated not to track him down.

"Amazing Madam Liu." Tang Lingling was full of admiration at her insidious plan.

"Heh, of course, I'm amazing. Otherwise, how can I birth someone as amazing as Lee Tao? He came from my genes after all and only me." Liu Ying said pridefully.

Her words held no shame or embarrassment which caused the rest of the Liu Clan members to be dumbfounded.

They didn't know whether to laugh or not because of her insidious plot.

"Big Sister Liu Ying is indeed fearsome." Liu Zheng sweated profusely as he reminded his daughter to not offend her at any cost.

"I'm not like you, father. Sister Liu Ying is magnanimous and amazing unlike you." Liu Lanfen snorted coldly.

"Hmph, if Big Sister Liu Ying was really that amazing then why didn't you refer to her as auntie?" Liu Zheng's comeback sent a chill down Liu Lanfen's spine.

Referring to Liu Ying as auntie meant that she was an old woman, and doing so would irritate her.

Liu Lanfen wasn't going to court her own death by saying that kind of stupid thing.

While the rest of the Liu Clan began heading home, Lee Tao was dashing toward the wilderness with a breath of fresh air.

"It's about time I get to roam around the world where magical beasts are lurking everywhere." Lee Tao smiled blissfully.

Being confined in a safe place like the Tianyun Kingdom doesn't really suit his personality or behavior.

"Next stop, the Sierra Desert!"
