Harness Cultivator

Lee Tao squinted his eyes slightly from the blinding light from the sun as he glanced at Tang Lingling.

"It\'s morning already?" he asked.

Tang Lingling nodded her head.

"Young Master has fallen asleep for more than 8 hours already." She replied.

"Who the hell designed this kind of time?" Lee Tao leaned on the side as he grumbled in anger.

"8 hours of sleep is not enough nor is 24 hours a day. If they were smart, a day should be at least 36 hours."

"T-That\'s not how it works, Young Master. You are already late to meeting Madam Liu," Tang Lingling said as she held out some dry-cleaned clothes for Lee Tao.

Despite still feeling sleepy, Lee Tao had no choice but to get out of his warm and cozy bed.

If possible, Lee Tao wished to stay in his bed forever.

He was a wealthy young master after all and never had to do any chores.

Alas, expectations and reality are always different.

"Dress me up, Tang Lingling." Lee Tao ordered as he stood up and spread his arms out.

Tang Lingling nodded her head.

Sometime later, Tang Lingling finished dressing Lee Tao up, only to realize that he had his eyes closed and seemed to have fallen asleep again.

\'Why is the Young Master always exhausted?\' She wondered silently.

Pushing Lee Tao slightly, Tang Lingling smiled as she took a deep breath.

"WAKE UP, YOUNG MASTER!"

Lee Tao jumped up from fright by the sudden loud voice.

"What the hell?" Lee Tao showed a ferocious expression as he glared at Tang Lingling.

"Do you want to go against your Young Master?" he asked.

Tang Lingling shrugged her shoulders.

"I was merely doing my duty, Young Master." Tang Lingling said.

Lee Tao raised an eyebrow.

"What kind of duty said that you must scare the shit out of your Young Master? I thought my heart had left my goddamn body for heaven\'s sake."

"Young Master must have forgotten. Last night, you specifically told me to use any method possible to wake you up if you failed to get up yourself." Tang Lingling replied and bowed slightly.

Lee Tao clicked his tongue when he briefly recalled he had something similar.

\'Damn it, curse my stupid mouth and brain for saying such stuff,\' Lee Tao cursed himself silently as he walked toward the bathroom.

Now that he was fully awake thanks to the loud announcement from Tang Lingling, he might as well prep himself up.

Sometime later, Lee Tao stepped out of the bathroom and stared at Tang Lingling.

"Have you informed my mother yet?"

"Un, Madam Liu had already heard the news of Young Master returning to the Lee Clan today. Madam Liu was exhilarated and had prepared a vast variety of options of breakfast for you to eat."

After another few minutes, Lee Tao and Tang Lingling left the Tianyun Academy as they headed back home.

Although the procedure usually requires one to obtain permission from their instructor to leave. Lee Tao was sure that Yu Xiuying was not in any mood to meet him yet.

Sometime later, Lee Tao stood outside a large and glamorous entrance with a solemn expression.

Two guards were standing at the left and right sides respectively.

Above the glamorous entrance door, there was an enormous signboard labeled \'Lee\' on it. The signboard was filled in a golden color that exuded a vibrant vibe to it.

"Haa finally got out of this crap Lee Clan household… only to be coming back here." Lee Tao sighed as he glanced at the nameplate.

There wasn\'t anything for Lee Tao to reminisce about being back home.

His last name may be Lee, but he might as well not be called a member of the Lee Clan.

"Is there something wrong, Young Master?" Tang Lingling asked when Lee Tao stood still in a daze.

Even the guards outside the entrance remained still as they didn\'t dare to approach Lee Tao.

To the public outside and to the people within the Lee Clan, Lee Tao was known as trash without any talent.

However, none dared to openly contend nor trash talked him directly due to the person behind him, Madam Liu.

Lee Tao snapped out of his daze as he shook his head.

"Nothing… I was just wondering when did we hire new guards in the guarding post?" Lee Tao said.

"Umm… Young Master, they are guards that have been working for 37 years already." Tang Lingling replied.

Lee Tao showed a nonchalant expression at her correction as he simply took big stripes and walked inside the Lee Clan.

As soon as Lee Tao entered, he could see multiple people stopping their task temporarily as they sneaked a glance at him.

Their facial expressions varied, with some even holding a disgusted look, but Lee Tao paid them no mind.

After all, the people who held a disgusted look were those from the branch clan or some old fogey elder\'s side.

Ignoring the different kinds of expressions at him, Lee Tao continued to walk around until a maid suddenly approached him.

"Y-Young Master… Madam Liu had already prepared your breakfast in the dining room." The maid said respectfully.

"Hmm, is that so?" Lee Tao mumbled as he changed his path.

The scenery of the path to the dining room was filled with lush greenery.

The path was like a mini-bridge that was used to cross over a river as some flowers were planted around the sidewalk.

Under the mini-bridge was filled with waters that had koi fish swimming around.

Occasionally, there would be some mini-wave sound created by the small lake as the wind current passed by.

"Mother really knows how to design buildings." Lee Tao complimented as he kind of enjoyed the tranquil and beautiful scenery.

A few moments later, Lee Tao halted his movement as he glanced at a graceful figure sitting in a chair.

Her figure exuded a mature and profound aura around her, almost like she was a deity herself.

The graceful figure suddenly turned around and smiled blissfully at Lee Tao.

"Welcome home, son."
