Harness Cultivator

As the bidding war between Gao Lao and Chen Tong intensified, Lee Tao was bored to death.

"Sigh, the two of them with their age added together are more than a few thousand years already. Yet they are still fighting like some children…" Lee Tao said with a bit of disappointment.

He was here to earn big money, not here to watch two old people fighting it out.

"Tang Lingling, can we leave already?" Lee Tao asked her.

Tang Lingling wrinkled her brows.

\'Madam Liu was right… Lee Tao would definitely try to leave the auction house if possible.\' Tang Lingling sighed as she wondered just how intelligent her Madam was.

To be able to predict the attitude and action of her son was impressive enough. Yet Madam Liu went above and beyond and had created multiple solutions to these problems for her.

\'Who would have thought Madam Liu\'s instructions on how to solve this problem would be put to use…\' Tang Lingling thought as she decided to follow Madam Liu\'s advice on how to respond to his question.

"Um, Young Master… if you leave right now, then Madam Liu said that all profits earned today would be kept in her bank account." Tang Lingling whispered.

"..."

Lee Tao twitched his mouth as he gave a fierce look at his mother.

"That evil wrench, she dared to yoink my money??!" Lee Tao cursed. 

Suddenly, a mental transmission was sent to his ears, and it was from Madam Liu.

"Xiao Tao, don\'t you know that cursing at your mother would spell disaster to you?" 

Madam Liu smiled gently at him, but anyone with a discerning eye could see a murderous aura emitting from her.

The aura was suffocating that Zhao Qiang had to quickly conceal himself and his daughter with a barrier.

The other VIPs guests, including Chen Tong and Gao Lao, activated their own spiritual barrier as well.

"Damn, who offended Madam Liu?" Chen Tong cursed aloud as he glared at Gao Lao. "It must have been you that irritated Madam Liu." 

Gao Lao scoffed as he showed a fierce glint. "Hmph, maybe it\'s because of your blabbermouth that caused some discomfort for Madam Liu."

"Enough people," A melodious and enchanting voice resounded throughout the room.

Gao Lao and Chen Tong quickly stopped their argument as they showed a timid expression.

With their hand cupping into a fist, they bowed down slightly and apologized.

"Madam Liu, I hope you can forgive us for disturbing you." Gao Lao and Chen Tong both said at the same time.

Madam Liu shook her head.

"Gao Lao, Chen Tong, the two of you are my seniors, so I dare not accept your bow. Also, this is supposed to be a friendly auction event, so I hope that we can all proceed forward with a calm demeanor." Madam Liu said.

"I shall mind my conduct and refrain from showing such behavior again."

"Understood, Madam Liu. I will remember to watch my conduct."

Madam Liu nodded her head. "Alright, may you two continue bidding, and remember, we are all friends here."

She then waved her hand and allowed them to continue their bidding war.

Secretly though, Madam Liu heaved a sigh of relief as she managed to bluff her way out.

\'That Xiao Tao… to think he almost made me lose my cool within a split second…\' Madam Liu exclaimed inwardly as she gazed at Lee Tao.

Lee Tao was whistling nonchalantly as he gave a thumbs up to her.

"Mother is indeed impressive and domineering. To be able to switch black and white swiftly." Lee Tao smirked as he sent a mental transmission to her.

Madam Liu twitched her mouth slightly.

Out of everyone within the Tianyun Kingdom, the only person that dared to tease her is her son. 

As the situation turned calmer, the bidding continued to rage on with Gao Lao and Chen Tong refusing to give an inch to others.

"I bid for 1 billion spirit stones." Chen Tong announced as he showed a victory expression.

He tilted his head slightly and saw Gao Lao clenching his fist. 

"Hahaha, Gao Lao, I doubt you have enough funds to go against me now since you had recently purchased a sect\'s token for your grandson." Chen Tong laughed.

\'Curses, how did this old man figure it out?\' Gao Lao was in disbelief at his secret being exposed.

Although he knew the auction event was upcoming, he needed to secure a way for his grandson to enter a sect.

After all, a sect has way better resources and cultivation techniques compared to an academy.

Thus, even if the Tianyun Academy was popular in the Tianyun Kingdom, it wasn\'t good enough for his talented grandson.

"Hmph, so what if you obtain the flying treasure. You don\'t even know where the tomb is located." Gao Lao snorted coldly as he waved his sleeve and took a seat down.

His financial situation was in a bit of a dilemma so it wasn\'t worth bidding anymore than 1 billion spirit stones.

Chen Tong chuckled softly as he grinned from ear to ear.

\'Want to fight me with wealth? Keep dreaming.\' Chen Tong laughed inwardly as he watched Liu Meng call for the third time.

"And the winner for this flying treasure goes to Patriarch Chen Tong from the Chen Clan!" Liu Meng announced as she slammed the miniature hammer on the table-top desk to finalize the bid.

\'Huehue, a flying treasure that\'s worth around 500-700 million spirit stones, is now sold for 1 billion spirit stones. What a bargain we made…\' She could imagine her commission price rose up with this one auction.

It was a win-win situation for the two of them as Chen Tong gets to obtain the flying treasure and possibly an access to a secret tomb. Whereas the auction house made a killing with just one item.

Sometime later, the auction event continued smoothly without any hindrance, and Madam Liu suddenly stood up.

"Come with me, Xiao Tao.." Madam Liu said as she excused herself from the VIP Section.
