Chapter 20 - Pervert

"Why are you so eager to make me leave?" Lee Tao teased as he crossed his legs.

Yao Meixiang sighed softly at his behavior. 'Why did my parents arrange my marriage with Lee Tao?'

Yao Meixiang then walked to her bed as she sat down. "If you still don't tell me your reason for being here then I'm going to call the dorm teacher. Once the dorm teacher heard of your presence, you're most likely going to get expelled."

Lee Tao twitched his mouth as he cursed inwardly. 'So many stupid rules for no reason.'

There were so many rules in the Tianyun Academy and breaking one of them could possibly result in expulsion. Such a thing was illogical and ridiculous in Lee Tao's mind when there wasn't even anything special in the Tianyun Academy.

Taking a deep breath, Lee Tao placed his legs down as he glanced deeply into her eyes.

Yao Meixiang's face blushed slightly from the intense gaze of Lee Tao.

"H-Hurry up and tell me your reason." She stuttered.

Lee Tao nodded his head. "I just want to know the location of the ancient ruin."

Yao Meixiang was dumbfounded as she stared at Lee Tao. "You were serious about joining us in the ancient ruin exploration?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

Yao Meixiang glanced at him briefly before shaking her head.

"You don't seem to be joking…" Yao Meixiang mumbled softly. "But I don't think you should join the ancient ruin with us."

"Why not?" Lee Tao became intrigued as to why his fiance wouldn't want him to join.

"You're planning on having an affair behind my back?" Lee Tao teased as he started laughing.

Meanwhile, Yao Meixiang's expression turned solemn as she glared at Lee Tao. "Don't you ever accuse me of cheating! I haven't glance at any men nor given any men a chance when I was informed about our arranged marriage."

She was serious in her tone and Lee Tao knew he had overstepped his boundary on the joke.

"Alright, my fault for teasing you." Lee Tao apologized for the first time in his life.

Although he didn't know why he apologized, Lee Tao knew he touched a sore topic and offended Yao Meixiang.

Yao Meixiang retracted her cold gaze and calmed down after a few moments.

Sometime later, Yao Meixiang opened her mouth. "I don't want you to throw your life away by joining us into the ancient ruin."

And she continued, "With your cultivation realm in the Elementary Spirit Realm, you can die easily and I do not wish to see my fiance die like that. Even though you are ignorant and don't care about what the world thinks, I care a lot about it."

"Care about what?" Lee Tao asked.

Yao Meixiang felt like she was talking to a block of wood.

'How can someone lack so much common sense?' She cried inwardly.

"Listen, Lee Tao. Even if you remained ignorant about my status as your fiance, that doesn't mean the world doesn't know about us." Yao Meixiang said as she puffed her chest out.

"If you came with us to the ancient ruin and died. Then the world is going to think that I purposely trap you to your death to nullify the engagement."

Lee Tao nodded his head as he understood her concern.

"I see… you didn't want to be labeled as a sinner or a person who deliberately caused their fiance's death."

"..."

If she could kill Lee Tao right now, Yao Meixiang would no doubt grab a sword and stab his heart.

The ignorance from Lee Tao was too much for her to handle and she felt her blood pressure rising every time she tried to communicate with him.

'Any man would have known by now that I care about your stupid safety and not some reputation.' Yao Meixiang cursed inwardly as she pointed at the door.

"Get out of my dorm before I screamed aloud!" Yao Meixiang shouted coldly as she no longer wished to talk with Lee Tao.

Lee Tao shook his head.

"You still haven't given me the location of the gathering or meeting. Whichever one you called it." Lee Tao said.

"Where's your dorm located?" Yao Meixiang asked him.

Lee Tao gave his dorm address without hesitation even though he didn't understand why she wanted to know.

"You aren't thinking of climbing my bed at night right?" Lee Tao asked teasingly.

Yao Meixiang tried her best to calm down and in a gentle voice. She said slowly, "I'm going to go to your dorm tomorrow and bring you there. The location of the gathering is secretive and we didn't want to reveal it to everyone."

"Is that clear, Lee Tao?"

Lee Tao nodded his head as he stood up. "Thank you for the information."

"Leave now." Yao Meixiang stood up and opened the door as she extended her hand to show the way out.

Lee Tao smiled as he walked outside but before leaving, he whispered softly to her. "You have some unique taste in underwear and bra."

Yao Meixiang took a few moments to realize what he just uttered and her face flushed red like a tomato.

It was only at this moment she noticed that her underwear and bra were scattered around on the floor.

"Ahh, that damn pervert." Yao Meixiang said in a panicked voice as she hurriedly picked up her undergarments before stuffing them back into her closet.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao went back to his dorm and saw Tang Lingling sitting in the chair, seemingly in a daze.

"You're still awake?" Lee Tao asked as he stripped his clothes.

Tang Lingling turned around and glanced at Lee Tao. "Un, I'm a servant and have to guard the Young Master when he falls asleep."

Tang Lingling's expression didn't change even though Lee Tao was now naked as she said in a calm tone.

Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders. "Suit yourself then. I'm going to head out to an ancient ruin tomorrow so you can do whatever you want at that time."

Tang Lingling's pupil constricted as she raised her eyebrow.

"You're going to explore an ancient ruin?" She said in an alarmed tone.
