Harness Cultivator

Chapter 8: Invitation

Lee Tao glanced at the surrounding tables, and sure enough, there were multiple envious gazes looking at his table.

"Bunch of horny youths." Lee Tao scoffed, finding it exhausting to see a bunch of retards gawking at these so-called jade beauties.

Besides their beautiful looks, most of them were usually accompanied by a bunch of arrogant young masters, who were nothing but troublemakers.

"Anyway, Lee Tao, how did you become acquainted with Yao Meixiang?" Jia Qiu ignored Lee Tao's reaction as she questioned him about the main topic.

Lee Tao shrugged.

"I'm not acquainted with this little miss who has no sense of direction." He added.

Yao Meixiang's brow twitched at his accusation.

"What do you mean by that, Lee Tao?" Yao Meixiang shouted angrily as she slammed her palm on the table, causing a commotion.

Yao Meixiang soon regained her composure as she realized what she had done.

"Hmph, what are you all gawking at? Never seen a beauty turning angry huh?" Yao Meixiang glared at the other customers in rage.

"Scram if you're not here to dine," she added and exuded a tremendous aura that threatened to cripple them.

Instantly, the crowded restaurant soon became empty since no one dared to offend Yao Meixiang.

Meanwhile, the waiter cried inwardly as he witnessed the tyranny of these three students. 'There goes my monthly salary now.'

Sometime later, Yao Meixiang retracted her aura as she sat back down and glared fiercely at Lee Tao.

"You really have no respect for women." Yao Meixiang commented while Lee Tao was drinking his tea calmly.

"I have respect for them-- just not to you." Lee Tao said. He then pointed his finger at Jia Qiu and Meng Xue.

"Look at the two of them, calm and collected. Worthy of being the top 10 beauty in the academy, unlike a certain someone that seemed more like a rogue than a beauty."

"Hmph, damn scoundrel." Yao Meixiang crossed her arms as her face turned completely red from anger.

"Fufu, our junior sister seemed to have found her match after a long time." Meng Xue suddenly intervened as she teased her.

She then looked at Lee Tao up and down before nodding her head.

"Jia Qiu, are you thinking what I'm thinking about?" Meng Xue turned her head and asked Jia Qiu.

Jia Qiu curled her lips upward as she gave a slight nod.

"Mhm, he's qualified to join us and I have noticed he hasn't even glanced at us once with a lustful intention."

Yao Meixiang held a gawking expression at the two of them as she shook her head vigorously. "No, absolutely not."

"What's wrong, junior sister?" Meng Xue asked.

"Please tell me you're not planning on inviting Lee Tao." Yao Meixiang replied.

"It's fine isn't it, Jia Qiu?" Meng Xue ignored her as she glanced at Jia Qiu for a response.

"I agree with…" Meng Xue paused for a brief moment, purposely creating a little bit of suspense before finishing her words. "Jia Qiu's words."

"Yes!"

"Noooo!"

Two different responses echoed in between Jia Qiu and Yao Meixiang as one of them was clearly happy while the other one wasn't.

"If Lee Tao is going to join us then I'm not joining." Yao Meixiang said in anger.

"Whatever, suit yourself." Jia Qiu scoffed as she smiled at Lee Tao. "Lee Tao, are you interested in joining a very fun expedition with us?"

Yao Meixiang was dumbfounded to see her senior sisters decide to ditch her for Lee Tao.

'This scoundrel-' Yao Meixiang cursed inwardly as she wondered what kind of evil charm Lee Tao did to brainwash her two senior sisters.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao had been glancing at the menu the entire time without caring about their conversation.

'This seafood dish seemed delicious but why does it have to say that contribution point only.' Lee Tao twitched his mouth as he was irritated by the restaurant's pricing.

"Lee Tao, are you listening?" Jia Qiu waved her hand around him when Lee Tao remained unresponsive.

"What do you want?" Lee Tao asked irritatedly when Jia Qiu blocked half of the menu.

"Did you see that Jia Qiu? Lee Tao had no interest in joining us." Yao Meixiang took this opportunity to throw more shade on Lee Tao.

Lee Tao smirked when Yao Meixiang continued to slander him after all this time.

"Xiao Chu, if I kill her, how much commotion would it make? Would it expose me?" Lee Tao asked Xiao Chu telepathically.

"Replying to your question, Lee Tao. Yao Meixiang is a popular lady despite her annoying and notorious behavior. Hence, unless you have a method to kill her cleanly without leaving any evidence, it's suggested that you don't try to kill her." Xiao Chu replied nonchalantly.

Lee Tao cursed inwardly at Xiao Chu's response. "What do you suggest I do then?"

Xiao Chu took a few moments before replying to Lee Tao.

"Based on the conversation that they were discussing while you were busy complaining about the menu pricing. You can use this chance to harness her profound qi by joining them." Xiao Chu suggested.

Lee Tao found her suggestion to be reasonable as he stopped their communication and glanced at Jia Qiu.

"What kind of event are you inviting me to?" Lee Tao then asked her.

Jia Qiu clapped her hand in joy. "Great, this isn't a really good place to discuss since we are planning on doing it in secret."

She then stood up and walked toward Lee Tao as she whispered into his ear.

"We are going to explore some ruins that were discovered last week and we have other people joining us already."

"How many people did you get in total to join this expedition?"

"Around 9 people including me, Meng Xue, and Yao Meixiang." Jia Qiu replied as she continued, "If you join as well then there would be a total of 10 people."

Lee Tao nodded his head.

Tilting his head slightly, Lee Tao glanced at Yao Meixiang's reluctant expression.

"Heh, I'll accept your invitation then."
