Chapter 102 - 5th Rank Formation

Yu Xiuying clenched her fist in anger when she heard Lee Tao's words.

She slammed on the desk heavily as she stood up.

"Lee Tao, don't think I'm ignorant enough to not realize you have secretly injected me with something." Yu Xiuying shouted as she activated her profound qi.

The profound qi soon surrounded Yu Xiuying as it protected her. 

"The first time and the second time, I felt a slight pinch on my neck. Afterward, my lower part would begin to feel an intangible desire." Yu Xiuying felt her blood boiling when she mentioned this part.

As an instructor, not only was she toyed by a student twice, she still couldn't figure out what injection it was.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao feigned ignorance as he raised an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about, Instructor Yu Xiuying?" Lee Tao asked in confusion. 

"W-Why did you suddenly cast a barrier around you? A-Are we being attacked?" 

"..."

Yu Xiuying could not believe the innocent act he was trying to pull off.

"Lee Tao, I swear to heaven if you still dare to spout nonsense, I will not let you off." Yu Xiuying shouted angrily.

Lee Tao was probably the only person who could possibly tick off Yu Xiuying to no end. 

Not only was Lee Tao a scoundrel, but he was also extremely shameless in his conduct.

It drives her nuts just by thinking about their first meeting. The one where she suddenly orgasm when Lee Tao came in to hand in his recommendation letter.

Sometime later, Lee Tao decided to stop teasing her as he held a solemn gaze.

"Anyway, what's your real motive for urging me to come back?" Lee Tao asked.

Yu Xiuying didn't reply right away as she pressed a button beneath her table. 

A surge of powerful profound qi soon covered the entire room.

'5th rank formation barrier?' Lee Tao raised an eyebrow. 

He didn't expect a 5th rank formation to be appearing in the tiny Tianyun Kingdom at all.

"What I'm about to say next is something serious, so I need to make sure no one else can eavesdrop on us." Yu Xiuying explained the reason for the barrier.

Lee Tao nodded his head.

A few seconds later, Yu Xiuying began speaking, "In the last few days, we have received news that Yao Meixiang, Jia Qiu, and Meng Xue had suddenly fallen ill. Their symptoms were so abnormal that doctors and even an alchemist had failed to detect the problem." 

After that, she stood up and walked toward Lee Tao. She began looking him up and down, only to realize he was completely fine.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao had understood the gist of the problem and the reason why she was so eager to have him back in the academy.

The only common thing that happened to them was the fact that they had been in the ancient ruin together.

And the other two people who explored the ancient ruin with them that are still alive are him and Tang Lingling.

"You can rest assured, Instructor Yu Xiuying. I'm healthy as hell and can even send you to a heavenly pleasure," Lee Tao joked aloud. 

However, it was met with contempt from Yu Xiuying as she crossed her arms.

"Are you serious right now?" Yu Xiuying asked in disbelief. 

"I just told you that your fiance is currently extremely ill and if we still don't find the cause, she might even die." 

"Correction, she will not be my fiance any longer since I don't wish to waste her time. Second of all, who said she was going to die?" 

Yu Xiuying ignored his first half of the sentence as she pondered over his latter half.

"Do you know the reason for their illness?" Yu Xiuying asked.

"More or less, but I would still need to inspect them personally to confirm it." Lee Tao responded as he stood up. 

He then walked closer to her and whispered sweetly, "See how much of a help I've been in? Why don't you reward me by showing me your underwear?" 

When she heard his words, Yu Xiuying felt her blood boiling as she prepared to launch an attack at him.

However, Lee Tao was extremely slick as he already ran toward the door and smiled cheekily.

"After class, I'll go with you to check on their condition." Lee Tao then bid her farewell as he closed the door.

"LEE TAO!!!" Yu Xiuying screamed in anger as she threw some documents toward the door.

As Yu Xiuying tried her best to calm down for her homeroom class, Lee Tao was already on his way to the dorm.

'Hehe, teasing Yu Xiuying sure is fine,' Lee Tao thought. 

Sometime later, he arrived at the dorm and saw everything had turned spotless.

"Young Master, you have finished chatting with Instructor Yu Xiuying?" Tang Lingling asked as soon as she saw him enter.

Lee Tao nodded his head.

"Yeah, apparently there is some problem with others, and she thought it would happen to me as well." Lee Tao said.

He then began recounting what he heard from Yu Xiuying to her. 

Of course, he had already informed Xiao Chu to create a much more powerful sound barrier compared to Yu Xiuying's 5th rank formation.

By the time Lee Tao finished recounting, Tang Lingling held a horrified look as she gasped aloud.

"H-How could that happen?" Tang Lingling asked in disbelief. 

Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.

"They most likely contracted some poisonous herb back in the ancient ruin."

"Wouldn't that be your fault then because you left them alone to explore?"

"Words cannot be said like that, Tang Lingling. Just imagine, if I didn't somehow join their exploration to the ancient ruin, then wouldn't they still contract the poisonous herb? Or even worse, they could lose their life since none of them have the capability of surviving in the ancient ruin." 

After some pondering, Tang Lingling nodded her head.

Lee Tao was right, there was just no telling on what could have happened in a dangerous ancient ruin.

"Then what are you going to do, Lee Tao?" Tang Lingling asked.

"Simple, I'll enter the ancient ruin again."
