Lin Cheng's behavior was scorned by Lee Tao as he spit some of his saliva toward the ground.
"What happened, Young Master?" Tang Lingling asked when she noticed his foul mood.
'Lee Tao was tranquil before but his mood changed with the arrival of Lin Cheng. Did Lin Cheng offended Lee Tao somehow?' Tang Lingling wondered silently.
She had become more curious about Lee Tao ever since she felt the intense killing intent emitted from Lee Tao.
Such intense killing intent could not be created by some greenhouse youth but by someone who had threaded numerous near-death experiences.
"Nothing much." Lee Tao replied calmly as he glanced at Lin Cheng briefly.
Lin Cheng was cupping his fist to everyone and greeted them with respect.
Sometime later, Lin Cheng halted his movement when he saw Lee Tao was standing in the corner with Tang Lingling.
Lin Cheng gave an awkward expression as he glanced at Meng Xue. "Junior Sister Meng Xue, who is this new person?" He asked.
Meng Xue smiled slightly as she replied to his inquiries. "That person over there is Lee Tao, Yao Meixaing's fiance."
Lin Cheng had his mouth opened in an O shape as he nodded his head. He then walked toward Lee Tao as he cupped his fist.
"So it's Junior Brother Lee Tao. My mistakes for not being able to recognize you at first glance." Lin Cheng said.
Lee Tao snickered as he raised his index finger up and waved it left and right.
Lin Cheng raised an eyebrow and wondered what his action meant. "Why are you shaking your index finger left and right?"
"That's because I'm correcting an idiot." Lee Tao said. "What makes you think you have the qualification to address me as 'Junior Brother'?"
Lee Tao's words shocked the rest of the people as they couldn't believe what they had just heard.
Meanwhile, Lin Cheng kept a calm expression as he nodded his head. "Haha, you're right about that. I hope you can forgive me, Lee Tao."
"Wrong again fool." Lee Tao sighed softly as he shrugged his shoulders. "Did you hit your brain when you came out today?"
"That's enough, Lee Tao." Yao Meixiang suddenly said as she walked toward Lee Tao. "Lin Cheng is a respectable senior among us and it was him who revealed the information of the ancient ruin to us."
Lin Cheng raised his hand as he stopped Yao Meixiang. "Junior Sister Yao Meixiang is too polite. There's nothing special about it and Lee Tao is probably still sleepy given how early we are."
Afterward, Lin Cheng turned around and faced the crowd as he announced.
"Alright, since everyone is present here and some other people that had joined us at the last minute. We shall head out now."
Meng Xue and Jia Qiu clapped their hands happily as they followed behind Lin Cheng.
Meanwhile, Lee Tao narrowed his gaze as he smiled wickedly. 'Such hypocrisy is the type I love to mess with the most.'
With one glance, Lee Tao could determine the true personality of Lin Cheng.
It wasn't his first time nor was it going to be the last time that Lee Tao would ever meet such a person again.
"Why were you being disrespectful to Senior Brother Lin Cheng." Yao Meixiang nudged on his sleeve as she asked him in a low voice.
Lee Tao found it pointless to explain things to Yao Meixiang. She would know his reason in due time.
Yao Meixiang pouted slightly when Lee Tao outright ignored her as she increased her pace and walked next to her friends, Jia Qiu and Meng Xue.
Lin Cheng was currently leading the way and Lee Tao purposely kept his distance away from Lin Cheng.
"Is there something wrong with Lin Cheng?" Tang Lingling asked when they were far enough to talk alone.
"Don't tell me you didn't smell the amount of bullshit coming from him?" Lee Tao chuckled.
Tang Lingling nodded her head.
"That Lin Cheng seemed too fake in my eyes. He was too courteous and polite to everyone." She added.
"Right? You rather accompany someone like me who is straightforward and honest." Lee Tao laughed heartily as he complimented himself.
Tang Lingling giggled at the jokes from Lee Tao. For some reason, her perspective for Lee Tao had unknowingly started to change.
Time slowly passed by as they left the Tianyun Academy and began walking through a rain forest.
Lee Tao yawned as he asked, "How long are we going to be there?"
"Can you stop embarrassing yourself for a few minutes already?" Yao Meixiang said in a sharp tone. She was the one who brought Lee Tao here and it means that she was responsible for him.
With Lee Tao acting like a snob, it made her look extremely bad in front of others.
Yao Meixiang then stopped her pace as she waited for Lee Tao to catch up to them.
"We're going to explore the ancient ruin with everyone else here so it's demoralizing for you to complain each minute." Yao Meixiang hissed as she glared angrily at him.
Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.
He then wrapped his arms around Yao Meixiang's shoulder as he began to tease her.
"Wasn't it thanks to someone who wanted to see me early in the morning?"
Yao Meixiang became alarmed by his sudden intimate action as she tried to shove him aside.
However, her hand stopped midair when Lee Tao opened his mouth,
"Unless you want me to tell them what kind of undergarments you wear, you better stay put." Lee Tao warned her.
Yao Meixiang's face ashen completely when she heard his threat.
'Scoundrel! Lee Tao, you are a goddamn scoundrel!' She screamed internally as she had no other choice but to allow Lee Tao to use her shoulders for his arm to rest in.
At the same time, Lee Tao used her body to maintain his balance as he was too lazy to walk.
Sometime later, Lee Tao smirked as whispered into her ears. "Aren't you a good girl, now? You should stop acting like some crazy woman and just stay quiet like this."
"I wouldn't be talking if you didn't complain about every step we took.." Yao Meixiang rolled her eyes at him.
