Harness Cultivator

Lin Cai held a complicated expression as he glanced at his wife, Zuo Xiaoli. 

Although he wasn't the smartest man, everyone couldn't help but praise him for being able to marry an intellectual woman like Zuo Xiaoli.

The Lin Clan was able to boost itself to an influential and high position all because of Zuo Xiaoli's meticulous schemes and planning.

It was due to this that everyone within the Lin Clan held Zuo Xiaoli in high regard. Not even Lin Cai dared to go against her will if she decided on something.

However, there was one known fact that everyone knew. 

Zuo Xiaoli may be an intelligent woman, but in the eyes of others in the Tianyun Kingdom, there exists another more intelligent and fearsome woman.

And that person was none other than Liu Ying aka Madam Liu from the powerful Liu Clan.

"Damn it, why does this have to stem from Liu Ying." Zuo Xiaoli suddenly cursed aloud as she gnashed her teeth.

"W-What's the problem, dear?" Lin Cai stood up and walked toward his wife as he asked in concern.

"You never lost your temper once…" He added with a worried look.

"That's because I never needed to go against any intelligent people before." Zuo Xiaoli said with a sigh.

"If our son's death is related to Lee Tao then we could forget about getting revenge, much less getting some redemption." She added.

"How come? They schemed against us and still expect to live scot-free?" 

Lin Cai was unwilling to accept such an outcome.

Lin Cheng was his proud son- one who will inherit the patriarch position of the Lin Clan.

However, with the death of Lin Cheng, Lin Cai's hope was shattered and he feared that his other branch members would want to use this as an opportunity to snatch the patriarch position.

After all, even if Zuo Xiaoli is intelligent and influential, the patriarch's

position of the Lin Clan has never had a woman sitting there.

Meanwhile, Zuo Xiaoli went back to her seat and held an invitation card in her hand.

The invitation card was inlaid with golden letters, and there was a faint smell of a lingering Qilin Blood.

"Is this your warning to us about not making any moves at your auction event?" Zuo Xiaoli mumbled softly as she glanced at the letters in the invitation card.

'Our Liu Clan and Lee Clan are glad to welcome you to our upcoming auction event!'

The words were so bright that they could blind one's eyesight if they stared at it for too long.

"What do we do now, dear?" Lin Cai asked nervously when Zuo Xiaoli remained silent for a few minutes already.

"What can we do?" Zuo Xiaoli scoffed as she threw the invitation card toward Lin Cai.

"Since Liu Ying had sent out multiple invitation cards to indicate each clan's status. We are basically going to lose face and reputation if we don't show up in public." She added.

"B-But what about our deceased son?"

SLAP!

A fierce slap landed on the right cheek of Lin Cai's face when he asked a stupid question.

Zuo Xiaoli held a fierce glare as she tried her best to calm down.

Meanwhile, Lin Cai stood silently on the side without making an ounce of sound.

He may not be the brightest or smartest, but he knew this matter had gone out of hand already, and they were incapable of solving it.

Thus, he quietly waited patiently whereas Zuo Xiaoli finally calmed her anger.

"Are you mad?" She asked.

"N-No, dear… How can I be mad when you are looking at the big picture?" He responded sincerely.

Zuo Xiaoli nodded her head.

"This matter about our son's death shall be put aside for now. The time is not right yet and we would only be kicking an iron plate if we tried to cause a commotion." Zuo Xiaoli said as she retrieved some ointment and rubbed it gently on Lin Cai's bruised face.

Lin Cai held a gentle look at his wife. 

He didn't blame nor get mad at her for slapping him in the face.

"I'm sorry dear… for not being able to help you solve problems but instead create more problems for you." Lin Cai mumbled softly.

Zuo Xiaoli shook her head as she hugged him. 

"It's my fault for losing control." She apologized. "I couldn't even do anything to figure out how our son died."

As the couples comforted each other at the loss of their son and were forced to attend the auction event created by Lee Tao. Somewhere in the Lee Clan, another hidden conspiracy was being cooked.

"Damn it, how did that bastard survive an ancient ruin and even manage to obtain an unimaginable amount of treasures?" A person with a handsome face cursed aloud as he slammed the table in anger.

The person then glanced at a middle-aged woman in front. 

"Elder Qiu, what should I do now? The patriarch's position of the Lee Clan should be me, and not that trash Lee Tao." He asked.

"Calm your horses, Lee Ching. The tide right now isn't in your favor, and getting angry wouldn't help the situation." Elder Qiu calmly replied as she gazed through the window.

"But Elder Qiu… I have waited for so long to obtain the elder's approval, and now one achievement from that trash Lee Tao was able to overwrite my effort." Lee Ching couldn't accept such an outcome.

He was hardworking and dedicated everything to his training, whereas the well-known trash Lee Tao has been dilly-dallying around.

There wasn't even an incident where the servants of the Lee Clan witnessed Lee Tao cultivating once.

"How can my qualification be lower than the trash and lazy ass Lee Tao?" Lee Ching questioned the elder in front of him.

Elder Qiu could only shake her head at Lee Ching's current behavior.

"What do you want me to do? Openly confront Lee Tao and have his heir position abolished?" She asked sarcastically.

"Don't forget who's behind Lee Tao." Elder Qiu then warned him.

"Madam Liu is more sinister than your tiny brain cell could afford.. Making one wrong move could spell the end of our lives."
