Harness Cultivator

Chapter 27 - Digging



"Young Master, is this enough?" Tang Lingling asked as she pointed at the pile of walls on the ground.

Her hand was dirty and Tang Lingling felt like she had turned into a mere mortal. A mortal that was ordered to do some menial task.

\'I was ordered by Madam Liu to protect Lee Tao but I\'m more of a construction worker than a bodyguard.\' Tang Lingling cried inwardly as she glanced at Lee Tao.

Her expression turned complicated when she realized Lee Tao was sleeping in the corner.

Tang Lingling clenched her fist as she took a few deep breaths to calm down.

"Calm like the wind… Tranquil like the sea…" Tang Lingling muttered as she stabilized her emotion.

Her impression of Lee Tao had dropped to rock bottom as she no longer fantasized about his secret.

\'What dogshit dragon amongst men? He\'s just a narcissistic and arrogant young master that ordered his servant to do menial tasks.\' Tang Lingling screamed inwardly as she sat down to take a rest.

"Woah, your expression is pretty ugly right now."

Tang Lingling shuddered as she quickly returned to her servant-like expression.

"You\'re awake, Young Master?" Tang Lingling said in a polite tone. Her attitude and behavior had changed a complete 180 degrees.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao snickered at her politeness.

"Just that little bit of walls being dug out and you want to rest already?" Lee Tao complained as he shook his head.

"Maybe my mother is deliberately punishing me for ditching her with such a trash servant. Otherwise, how could she send you to me when you\'re this useless." He added.

"I-I apologize for my incompetent, Young Master." Tang Lingling apologized as she lowered her head slightly.

Lee Tao grunted as he narrowed his eyes. There were piles of the wall being placed in the corner but Lee Tao was furious.

"With your cultivation realm, this is lackluster." Lee Tao snorted as he stood up.

"How the hell were you my mother\'s personal assistance with this kind of trash production of yours?" Lee Tao added as he kicked the walls in anger.

The walls trembled slightly with some debris falling off after the impact of his kick.

"..."

Tang Lingling didn\'t dare to open her mouth as she remained silent with her back straightened up. She remained like a statue as she watched Lee Tao continue to spend the next few minutes kicking the walls without a care.

Sometime later, Lee Tao stopped his kicking as he glared angrily at Tang Lingling with his arms crossed.

Lee Tao then opened his mouth as he asked her in a barely audible tone, "Why did you only dig up this little amount of walls?"

"You may have been trying to hide it from me, but I can tell you\'re in the True Lord Realm," he added.

Tang Lingling held a gawking expression at Lee Tao.

"H-How did you find out?" She stuttered.

She had made sure to conceal her aura and suppressed it to the 7th stage of Profound Spirit Realm. This was done to deceive other students in the Tianyun Academy and to be able to be by Lee Tao\'s side.

She was also extremely cautious that she decided to keep her cultivation realm a secret from Lee Tao to prevent her secrets from leaking out. The fewer the people know about her true cultivation realm, the safer it would be for Lee Tao.

After all, if there are enemies out somewhere, trying to target Lee Tao\'s life. They wouldn\'t be sending many strong cultivators against them based on their current prowess.

However, she was now exposed by Lee Tao unexpectedly, and she still didn\'t know how he managed to detect her.

"I-I concealed my aura well…" Tang Lingling said as she held a disbelief expression at Lee Tao.

"There was no leakage of my aura either so there\'s no way you could know," she added.

Lee Tao snickered as he flicked her forehead with his finger.

Tang Lingling felt a slight pain in her forehead but continued to remain in her posture.

"Just because you conceal it from me doesn\'t mean I won\'t know it." Lee Tao snorted.

Afterward, Lee Tao closed his eyes briefly for a moment to concentrate. He then opened his eyes with a solemn expression.

"Observe carefully on how things should be done, Tang Lingling." Lee Tao ordered as he placed his hand on the thick wall.

Lee Tao\'s palm began emitting a dim but subtle light, sending a wave of profound qi through his palm to the thick wall.

The thick wall began to tremble heavily upon contact.

"Wait a minute, Young Master." Tang Lingling shouted in panic when she realized what Lee Tao was trying to do.

"If you send such strong profound qi into the thick wall, the cave might collapse." Tang Lingling warned.

Lee Tao ignored her warning as he gushed his profound qi through the wall.

Suddenly, a loud rumbling occurred in the cave. Debris started dropping down from the ceiling.

"Young Master, this is bad." Tang Lingling paled as she sensed the structure of the cave.

"Just shut up for a moment." Lee Tao grunted as he sent a final wave of profound qi in the thick walls.

An earthquake soon began, and it was affecting the cave everywhere.

Meanwhile, the walls turned into multiple specks of dust and Lee Tao gladly stored them into his spatial ring.

"See how easy it was to dig out the walls?" Lee Tao said as he grinned evilly at Tang Lingling. "This is your last chance before I send you back to my mother if you fail to complete my command."

Tang Lingling held a gawking expression at Lee Tao.

\'You just caused the entire cave to collapse and your fiance is on the other side.\' Tang Lingling exclaimed inwardly.

Afterward, Tang Lingling cast a barrier around them to prevent the falling debris from landing on their head.

Her expression turned complicated as she muttered in a low voice, "Can we even leave the cave safely?"

They had not explored the cave thoroughly but Lee Tao had caused an earthquake in the cave, jeopardizing everyone\'s life.
