Harness Cultivator

Chapter 93 - Power And Relationship



Liu Ying retrieved the invitation card as she handed it over to Lee Tao.

Lee Tao glanced at the invitation card with a smug expression.

"So she finally couldn't wait any longer huh?" Lee Tao laughed.

And he continued, "How's the Lin Clan faring right now?" 

"The Lin Clan is currently in an internal fight." Liu Ying replied as she giggled.

"Since Lin Cai had been detained by us, the other people had begun vying for the Patriarch's position. And as for Zuo Xiaoli, she wasn't even considered nor qualified to be in the competition." 

"That's expected, the Lin Clan is full of ridiculous people who believe only men can accomplish big stuff." 

Lee Tao wasn't a bit surprised by the development.

If it weren't for their small mindset and thinking, the Lin Clan could have easily become a powerhouse clan as long as they had Zuo Xiaoli in charge.

However, they had thrown away that chance when they simply made Zuo Xiaoli work in the shadows.

Such a talented individual was being wasted because of their incompetence was hilarious.

"Anyway, are you going to accept her invitation?" Liu Ying asked.

Lee Tao nodded his head.

"Of course, she had already given us an inch by extending the invitation. How could I still refuse her when I'm such a gentleman?" Lee Tao laughed wickedly.

'Gentleman?' Liu Ying almost felt like laughing at his own description.

However, she didn't and merely nodded her head.

"Since you accepted it, then you can go along with Tang Lingling. I still have to do something else." Liu Ying said.

"That's fine, what can one Zuo Xiaoli do?"

"I suggest you not underestimate her. Although she may not be as good as me, she does have some intelligence in her brain." 

Lee Tao nodded his head.

He wouldn't dare to underestimate a survivalist that managed to get to this point.

That would be a noob move.

Sometime later, Lee Tao returned to his own room with Tang Lingling.

"Are you sure it's alright?" Tang Lingling asked while brewing the tea.

"Do you mean the invitation from Zuo Xiaoli?"

"No, I mean about crippling Liu Wang." Tang Lingling said as she stared at him. "Other than some outrageous remark, he hasn't really affected me much. Yet we got him crippled… I fear that his father will get revenge on us." 

Lee Tao chuckled softly when he heard her concern.

"Tang Lingling, let me ask you this. If you had to choose between power and relationship, who would you choose?" Lee Tao asked.

Tang Lingling was stunned for a moment. 

"Between power and relationship…" Tang Lingling mumbled, seemingly in a dilemma.

The question may seem simple on the surface, but it actually has a deep meaning behind it.

Thus, Tang Lingling was stuck and didn't know how to answer it.

To have a relationship in this ruthless world, one must have the power to maintain it. Otherwise, the relationship could be easily trampled upon by others.

However, to have power, one must also have a relationship with someone of equal status to extend their connection. 

Power and relationship are like one strand of a line that cannot be separated. 

And the best representation for such a thing is through Family Clan. 

"Tang Lingling?" Lee Tao asked again when he saw her in a daze.

"So what would you choose?" 

"I-I don't know… Young Master," Tang Lingling answered honestly.

As much as she wanted to say a relationship with Lee Tao, there was no possible way for her to achieve that if she was a weakling without any cultivation base or power.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao had expected this kind of response already.

After all, humans are always sentimental when it comes to relationships.

However, Immortals are different from them. 

Lee Tao made a grasping motion as he stared at the ceiling. 

"If I had to choose between one, then it'll be power." Lee Tao mumbled as he clenched his fist.

"Only by being powerful can one do whatever they want and still be praised for their actions." 

"But what about relationships?" 

"You'll understand that relationships are irrelevant as time passes."

'I have already experienced how superficial relationships are…' Lee Tao exclaimed inwardly as he stood up and grabbed the teacup.

Drinking it in one go, Lee Tao reminisced about the time when he was still a mere mortal.

"Haa, tea is always the best to calm one's mind." Lee Tao mumbled as he shook his head.

"Anyway, I'll need to get some rest now, so just close the door when you leave."

"You don't need me to serve you tonight?"

"Nope, just make sure to increase your cultivation for tomorrow's dinner. I'll bet there's a good show to watch."

Sometime later, Lee Tao fell asleep in his bed.

By the time morning arises, Lee Tao was already up and awake as he controlled the projection screen.

"Didn't you already check the data from Zuo Xiaoli?" Xiao Chu asked in confusion.

"Who says I'm checking her data?"

"Then who else managed to intrigue you?"

"Liu Hu, I'm kind of interested in seeing how he'll react when he learns of his son being crippled." Lee Tao smirked as he clicked on the profile for Liu Hu.

Soon, a numerous list of data was revealed and Lee Tao laughed at the data.

"Ahh, as expected of a man with high status. Didn't even surprise me that he has this many mistresses outside of the Liu Clan." 

"More like you men are just a bunch of horny dudes that can't keep your lower part to yourself."

"Xiao Chu, please don't insult me with the likes of them. What I do is something glorious whereas these men are shameless." 

Lee Tao defended his honor as he reminded Xiao Chu how many women he saved during his Immortal Life.

"Anyway, with this kind of list, I can guarantee Liu Hu wouldn't make a fuss about his retarded son being a cripple." Lee Tao stretched his body as he changed into new clothes- one that made him look like a scholar.

"It's time to create a poem in the Jade Restaurant."
