Chapter 80 - Revenge

"Sending a message?" Tang Lingling raised an eyebrow. 

"Who are you sending a message to?" She asked.

Lee Tao chuckled softly for a while before flicking his hand at her forehead.

Tang Lingling received the forehead flick as she rubbed on the spot softly. 

"Of course, I'm sending this message to the people scheming behind my back." Lee Tao smirked as he glanced at the window.

"That Lee Ching… did he really think I'm stupid that Lin Cai was able to infiltrate into the auction house if it weren't for him fanning the flame?" 

"Young Master means to say…"

Lee Tao nodded his head.

"That's right, someone with a high enough authority within the Lee Clan had secretly tipped Lee Ching off about the auction house layout. Thus, Lin Cai was able to escape the securities and made his way to the main event."

Tang Lingling clenched her fist tightly when she realized someone was scheming against her Young Master.

"Hmph, how dare they plot against the heir of the Lee Clan." Tang Lingling shouted in anger as she was about to rush out and find the culprit.

Lee Tao was rendered speechless when she saw her losing her cool.

"Stop it, Tang Lingling." Lee Tao said as he grabbed her wrist.

With a bit of force, he dragged her as she was flung back toward him.

Tang Lingling lost her balance as she embraced Lee Tao unconsciously to keep her balance.

"I-I'm sorry, Young Master." Tang Lingling realized her current position as she tried to pull away.

Suddenly, she felt a warm sensation around her buttock, and she blushed slightly.

Her hand slowly clutched onto Lee Tao's clothes as she felt his hand groping and massaging her buttock.

"When did I tell you to go find the culprit?" Lee Tao whispered softly as he pinched on her butt.

"Ahn"

Tang Lingling moaned as she tried to bite her lip to suppress the slight pain.

Although it was painful, she was also feeling a bit horny as Lee Tao skillfully turned her butt into his plaything.

"Hmm, answer me, Tang Lingling." Lee Tao asked again as he increased his strength.

"Y-You have not ahnn~" Tang Lingling replied and was pushed down to the bed by Lee Tao.

"Next time, think before you act." Lee Tao said as he turned around. "If I had wanted to capture them, then I would have done so already."

"P-Please forgive me, Young Master." Tang Lingling apologized as she bowed her head.

"Anyway, where is that Zuo Xiaoli?' 

"Zuo Xiaoli had been waiting in the guest room for the entire time. She had refused to leave and said that she would want to meet with you."

Lee Tao nodded his head.

"It's a given that she's desperate right now. Her husband is currently being detained and his reputation is down the drain already. Making a move against a junior in a public event and showing violence in front of the emperor. If I were her, I would be panicking as well." Lee Tao laughed as he couldn't wait to get revenge.

The auction event that he had meticulously prepared by having his mother's assistance was almost ruined by some nobody.

As an Immortal, such action was unforgivable, and it would be a disgrace if he didn't enact his revenge.

"Should I get someone to inform Zuo Xiaoli that you would meet with her soon?" Tang Lingling offered as she stood behind him.

However, Lee Tao shook his head as he pointed at the crystal clear sky.

"Isn't the weather beautiful today?" He asked.

Tang Lingling nodded her head.

"Un, the weather is really nice today." She replied.

"Then why should we confide in our room and not have some fun outside?"

"... I see, I understand, Young Master. The carriage shall be prepared in a few minutes."

Afterward, Tang Lingling dismissed herself as she ordered some other people to prepare a carriage ride for Lee Tao.

Lee Tao didn't say anything and merely smiled at Tang Lingling's swift pace.

'Heh, since Zuo Xiaoli had waited for 2 days, then she can continue to wait.' Lee Tao laughed inwardly as he took a stroll around his courtyard.

Sometime later, Tang Lingling returned to his side as she smiled gently.

"Young Master, the carriage has been prepared." 

"Good, now that's what I call efficiency." 

"This servant does not deserve high praise." 

Lee Tao smirked at her behavior as he walked toward and leaned toward her ear. "Since you don't deserve such high praises, then you can use your mouth to try and earn those praise." 

Tang Lingling blushed slightly, but nevertheless, she nodded her head coyly.

"A-As long as the Young Master does not mind…" She replied in a sheepish tone. 

After that, Lee Tao and Tang Lingling headed toward the carriage location and slurping sounds could be heard occasionally from the inside of the carriage.

Of course, the driver of the carriage was professional and had made sure to activate the sound formation to prevent anyone outside from eavesdropping.

Meanwhile, in a guest room, Zuo Xiaoli could be seen sitting alone in a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.

Not a single servant nor personnel were around her as she was met with all four corners of the wall.

It was clear that the attitude of the Lee Clan toward Zuo Xiaoli was anything but great, Zuo Xiaoli knew this was to be expected.

Zuo Xiaoli remained calm and collected as she drank the tea available for her.

Suddenly, a voice from outside echoed. 

"Oh my, how did the Lee Clan fail to treat an honorary guest like you in this kind of manner?"

"Madam Liu must be joking. How can I be worthy of being your honorary guest?" Zuo Xiaoli didn't even need to turn around to see who the person was.

And she wasn't wrong when Liu Ying casually entered with two maids from behind as she sat in the leader's seat.

"Sorry about the wait, but I have been swamped with many documents lately and couldn't meet up with you personally.." Liu Ying apologized in a non-sincere tone.
