"Just divorce already."
Lee Tao's words send a shocking sensation to Liu Ying and Lee Longwei.
"Look at your great son." Lee Longwei snapped out of his daze as he shouted in anger. "He has the nerve to even ask for us to divorce."
"Wrong- I'm not asking you but I'm telling you." Lee Tao corrected.
"This damn brat." Lee Longwei lifted his sleeves upward as he prepared to give Lee Tao a good bashing.
However, Liu Ying suddenly intervened as she shouted. "Who are you calling a damn brat, Lee Longwei?"
Lee Longwei glanced at his wife briefly before snorting coldly and left the room in anger without closing the door.
"Tch, coward." Lee Tao snickered since the true master of this household was Liu Ying and not Lee Longwei.
After all, Liu Ying hailed from the Liu Clan that is many tis more powerful than the Lee Clan.
Hence, Lee Longwei didn't dare to force Liu Ying to produce another offspring for him nor seek other won to do so.
"Son, can't you be serious for once?" Liu Ying sighed softly as she closed the door.
"I was very serious about you two divorcing." Lee Tao showed a solemn expression.
Liu Ying was flabbergasted as she wondered how her son could turn out to be like this.
"Why are you insisting on breaking our family so much?" Liu Ying said.
She then took a seat and stared deeply at him in the eyes.
Lee Tao tapped his finger on the desk as he asked, "You want to hear my honest opinion?"
"Yes, I want to know what is on my son's mind."
"If that so-called father of mine truly loved then he wouldn't have treated so coldly when my spiritual root was revealed as talentless." Lee Tao said calmly.
Liu Ying was silent as she understood his feelings. Ever since the age of ceremony where he was deed useless, no one in the Lee Clan had treated Lee Tao with the sa respect as they did before.
"Are you really that unhappy with the Lee Clan?" Liu Ying asked.
Lee Tao nodded his head right away.
'The Lee Clan are full of trash people where I can't even harness enough profound qi. Just get out of this dump.' Lee Tao exclaid inwardly as he finally managed to bait his mother to send him away.
"Sigh, then I shall send you to an academy and you can live on campus there." Liu Ying held a complicated expression as she finished her words.
After all, no mother would be happy to send their son far away from their sight.
anwhile, Lee Tao clapped his hands excitedly. "Great, fantastic, perfect- what academy are you sending to?"
"It better be at least the top 3 academies where all the strong youths gather around, otherwise, there's no point in sending to one if everyone is trash there." He then added.
Liu Ying was speechless by Lee Tao's excitent to leave the Lee Clan without any hesitation.
She took a deep breath before handing him a recomndation letter. "I have asked my father to write a recomndation letter after I pleaded with him every day. The academy I'll be sending you in is number one in the Tianyun Kingdom, Tianyun Academy."
"Tianyun Academy~" Lee Tao smiled blissfully as he wondered how many fools he could harness to increase his cultivation.
"You're not even pretending to be sad about leaving your mother." Liu Ying started sobbing when she saw Lee Tao ignored her completely.
Lee Tao stared at Liu Ying without moving. "Stop acting mother! I ca from your womb so you can't fool . I'm not like that idiotic old man who would fall for your pitiful acting."
Liu Ying pouted angrily when she failed to get Lee Tao coaxing her.
"Hmph, such an unfilial son." Liu Ying crossed her arms.
"If I were really unfilial then I would have left you a long ti ago without trying to gain your permission." Lee Tao then said as he grabbed the recomndation letter.
Afterward, he stood up and prepared to leave the study room.
"Where are you going?" Liu Ying asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Lee Tao said with his back facing her. "I'm leaving for the Tianyun Academy now."
"But you didn't even pack your belongings yet. Let mother help you out." Liu Ying offered.
"No thanks, my belongings have long been packed."
Lee Tao then waved his hand and bid farewell to his mother.
Soti later, Lee Tao left the Lee Clan as he took a deep and refreshing breath.
"Finally- after 15 long years, I can leave this trash Lee Clan." Lee Tao muttered as he started walking toward the Tianyun Academy.
anwhile, inside a room, Liu Ying was staring at Lee Tao's back from the window in a daze as she wiped so tears away with a handkerchief.
"Madam Liu, why did you agree to send him to campus if you missed him so much?" A servant couldn't help but ask.
Liu Ying gave a bittersweet smile as she shook her head. "My son is a dragon that would soar above everyone. There's no way a mother would be willing to cage a dragon and force him to stay with ."
"B-But the young master has no spiritual root and is considered-" The servant suddenly stopped her next words as she felt a dreadful killing intent emitting from Liu Ying.
The servant hurriedly knelt down and banged her head as she pleaded for forgiveness.
"I'm sorry Madam Liu, I have overstepped my boundaries."
"Tang Lingling, it's because I regard you as my family since you have been by my side for a long ti that I would pretend I didn't hear your previous sentence." Liu Ying said coldly.
"Thank you Madam Liu for forgiving this servant." Tang Lingling thanked her.
"Don't thank too quickly as there will still be punishnt." Liu Ying raised her hand up as she halted Tang Lingling's speech.
"You will watch over my son and protect him from the shadow.. Also, you are not allowed to interfere with his activity unless his life is in danger."
