Chapter 14 - [bonus ] Elementary Root Poison

"Alright, I was hesitating at first whether or not to let you stay, Tang Lingling." Lee Tao said as he patted her shoulders.

"However, seeing your display, I decided. You can stay in the academy with me." He added.

Lee Tao couldn't help but praise Tang Lingling for slapping the lustful scum without any hesitation.

After all, the scum gave his identity, hoping to scare people off and most of the time, Lee Tao witnessed people cowered in fear despite their arrogance.

Thus, he decided to stay put and watched how Tang Lingling would handle the situation.

If she really hesitated on thrashing the scum then Lee Tao wouldn't mind sending her back to his mother. Any sort of hesitation in the cultivation world could possibly end up costing your life.

"Tang Lingling thanked the Young Master's praise." Tang Lingling replied.

'Tch, it's not like I really cared about whether or not to stay with you.' Tang Lingling sneered inwardly as she was afraid of disobeying Liu Ying's order.

Meanwhile, Cao Wen held a ferocious gaze at Lee Tao and Tang Lingling.

"Good good." Cao Wen said with a wicked glint. He raised his finger up and pointed at Tang Lingling.

"Woman, I gave you some respect because of your beauty but you dared to slap this handsome face of mine? Watch how I'll torture you in bed."

Tang Lingling narrowed her eyes at Cao Wen. 'Hmph, this type of person is better off dead.'

Tang Lingling was about to dash toward Cao Wen to finish him off until a voice suddenly echoed from afar.

"What's going on here?" Yu Xiuying held a fierce gaze as she walked over to the scene.

However, her movement halted when her eyes met Lee Tao, and memories of her orgasm by him flashed before her.

Her expression turned pale as she cleared her throat and tilted her head away to avoid Lee Tao's gaze.

Yu Xiuying then decided to ask one of the students in the crowd to recount what happened here.

"You, tell me what happened here." Yu Xiuying ordered.

The student was stricken with fear when he felt a profound aura pressing on him and he felt like he was on the edge of death.

"C-Cao Wen wanted to snatch a beauty in broad daylight but was slapped by the beauty." He answered honestly before fleeing the scene in panic.

Yu Xiuying's gaze turned colder as she turned around and stared at Cao Wen.

Cao Wen was sweating profusely because Yu Xiuying was directly under the headmaster of the Tianyun Academy.

Not even his uncle could save him if the headmaster decided to intervene and conduct a punishment.

"Cao Wen, this isn't the first time you behaved notoriously among the other students." Yu Xiuying said in a cold tone.

"T-This won't happen again." Cao Wen cupped his fist as he replied respectfully.

Afterward, Cao Wen tried to dismiss himself since he didn't want to get into muddy water against Yu Xiuying.

Alas, Lee Tao smirked as he stepped up and grinned evilly at Cao Wen.

"Did you think that your promises are worth anything? Your words are nothing but a fart." Lee Tao said as he cracked his knuckles.

For people like Cao Wen, they were nothing but a pesticide that would constantly annoy you unless you eliminate them.

"Enough, Lee Tao." Yu Xiuying extended her hand and blocked Lee Tao from advancing forward.

She then sends him a mental transmission to warn him of the consequences. "If you kill Cao Wen here then I'm afraid your admission might be revoked."

Lee Tao pondered for a moment as he didn't expect Yu Xiuying to block him from killing a trash being.

'Hmm, Xiao Chu, inject some Elementary Root Poison at Cao Wen.'

Elementary Root Poison is a common yet deadly poison. Once injected, unless one can detect the poison early then the chance of their life deteriorating is imminent.

Since Lee Tao couldn't directly kill him in front of the public in fear of his admission being revoked, he decided to have Xiao Chu poison him instead.

There's a Chinese idiom that says, 'releasing the tiger to escape to the mountain' would end up having a terrible consequence in the future.

Right now, Cao Wen is the tiger and with his perverted and unruly nature, Lee Tao could determine that he wasn't going to let go of today's farce.

Xiao Chu heeded to Lee Tao's order as she floated toward Cao Wen and secretly injected him with the Elementary Root Poison.

Cao Wen felt his neck being pricked slightly as he slammed his palm on it but discovered nothing.

"Weird…" Cao Wen muttered in a low tone.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiuying was disgusted by Cao Wen as she ordered him to quickly scram away and warned him if there's a next time then she would relay the information to the headmaster.

Cao Wen thanked Yu Xiuying for the forgiveness and before leaving, he showed a vicious glint at Lee Tao and Tang Lingling.

'Heh, little tiger, your death countdown begins now.' Lee Tao sneered inwardly as he stretched his body slightly.

Sometime later, the crowd started to disperse due to the fear of offending a bigshot like Yu Xiuying.

Although Yu Xiuying wasn't someone to be feared, the person behind her was the one that truly scares people.

"You should watch your footstep from now on because Cao Wen isn't someone to be dealt with easily." Yu Xiuying then warned him before leaving.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Lee Tao teased as he could see her flushed face.

Yu Xiuying didn't halt her movement and instead, she hastened her pace to ditch Lee Tao.

'I'll need to avoid him from now on.' Yu Xiuying exclaimed inwardly as she felt her lower area turning slightly wet.

"Welp, the crowd has disappeared and we should hurry up as well." Lee Tao said as he began walking toward the classroom of their first lecture.

"Understood, Young Master.." Tang Lingling replied as she followed behind him.
