Chapter 86 - Free At Last
Lee Longwei exuded his profound aura as he circulated some of his profound qi.
"I said to scram," Lee Longwei shouted as he warned the maid one last time.
If it were anyone else, he would have already made a move. However, he couldn\'t help but be wary of her strength.
After all, he had exerted 30% of his strength when he tried to shove her aside. Yet, not only did she not move an inch, there wasn\'t even a change in her expression.
That alone was enough to tell that the maid isn\'t as simple as she looked on the surface.
As Lee Longwei was about to strike, the maid also narrowed her gaze as she was ready to deflect him.
Suddenly, a melochantly voice echoed from inside.
"Just open the door, Xu Rong."
Hearing Liu Ying\'s voice, the maid, Xu Rong nodded her head.
"Understood, Madam Liu." Xu Rong said respectfully as she opened the door.
Lee Longwei snorted coldly when Xu Rong moved aside.
However, just when he was about to enter, Liu Ying\'s voice resounded again.
"Save your effort, Lee Longwei. I\'m coming out."
Sometime later, Liu Ying came outside with Lee Tao, but one thing was instantly noticed by Lee Longwei.
Liu Ying was holding two bags of luggage in her arms.
"What are those?" Lee Longwei asked as he pointed at the luggage.
Liu Ying didn\'t answer him as she glanced at Lee Tao instead.
"I\'ll wait for you outside, ok?" She asked him.
Lee Tao nodded his head.
"Heh, whatever. Just make sure to leave a comfortable room for me."
"That- you don\'t have to worry about it. I had already prepared the best room for you in the Liu Clan."
Right when Liu Ying was about to leave, Lee Longwei suddenly grasped onto her wrist as he glared at her.
"What the hell are you doing?" Lee Longwei asked. His eyes had turned bloodshot as he refused to believe that she was leaving the Lee Clan forever.
"The impudence," Before Liu Ying could respond, Xu Rong had already dashed ahead as she smacked Lee Longwei\'s hand away.
Afterward, Xu Rong stood in front of Liu Ying as she held an intense glare at Lee Longwei.
"Are you okay, Madam Liu?" Xu Rong asked in concern while keeping her guard up.
Liu Ying giggled softly. Her maid was too over concerned for her safety that she didn\'t know whether to cry or laugh.
"That\'s enough, Xu Rong." Liu Ying said. "Did you think a mere grasp can harm me?"
Xu Rong hesitated for a moment.
"Just relax yourself, Xu Rong. This isn\'t that place but the Tianyun Kingdom." Liu Ying reassured as she patted her shoulders.
Xu Rong nodded her head.
A few seconds later, she lowered her guard and stepped behind Liu Ying.
Afterward, Liu Ying took a few steps forward as she glanced at the angry Lee Longwei with a calm expression.
"Lee Longwei, have you forgotten our deal?" Liu Ying asked.
Lee Longwei was stunned for a moment until a fragment of memory hit him.
It was the deal that had happened 16 years ago when he was still a normal elder in the Lee Clan.
—
16 years ago…
"Heh, aren\'t you one loser elder, Lee Longwei?" Liu Ying smirked as she glanced at the disheveled looking man.
"And what pleasure do I have to be able to have a conversation with the Matriarch of the Liu Clan?" Lee Longwei responded sarcastically.
He had just lost the voting process to become the Patriarch and sooner or later, he would be ousted by the Lee Clan.
"Enough with the sarcasm. What if I said I can help boost your status to the Patriarch\'s position?"
Lee Longwei held a disbelief expression.
Nevertheless, he nodded his head without any hesitation. It was either taking this risk or accepting his fate.
"What is your condition?"
—-
16 years later, Lee Longwei was currently standing still with a stunned expression.
Liu Ying snickered when she saw his current expression.
"It seems like you have forgotten who\'s the dealer and who\'s the player after all these years." Liu Ying mumbled as she walked closer to him.
She then whispered with a threatening tone in his ear, "If I was able to override the voting process 16 years ago and make you the current Patriarch. I can also bring you back down to the useless and irrelevant elder."
After that, Liu Ying tidied up her clothes that were wrinkled from his grasp previously as she proceeded to leave.
Meanwhile, Lee Longwei had plopped to the ground with a scared expression.
Lee Tao was confused by what Liu Ying had said to make Lee Longwei almost pissed his own pants.
However, he didn\'t give much thought to it as he smiled wickedly.
Waving his hand over, Lee Tao called Xu Rong over and ordered her to carry some of the luggage he was holding.
"What was your name again?" Lee Tao asked as he gave her the luggage.
"It\'s Xu Rong, Young Master." Xu Rong replied swiftly.
"I see…" Lee Tao trailed off as he glanced at his useless father who was still sitting in the grass with a dazed look.
With a grin, Lee Tao patted his head, "Don\'t worry, you useless father. Didn\'t I say this from day one when I left for the Tianyun Academy?"
"Divorce is the best solution for this." He added.
Ignoring his dumbfounded look, Lee Tao casually walked off as he could finally breathe some fresh air.
Today\'s the last day he would ever step foot in this disgusting Lee Clan where everyone wanted to usurp the ridiculous Patriarch\'s position.
Honestly, if it wasn\'t for the backing of the Liu Clan and Liu Ying, the Lee Clan would be nothing but a third-rate clan.
Sometime later, Lee Tao jumped happily as he got away from the final platform that belonged to the Lee Clan.
"I\'m free at long last," Lee Tao spread his arms wide as he screamed aloud.
