Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

Gao Zhao was very proud, especially when he saw Lin Chong's shocked expression at his superb marksmanship, he was even happier!

Lin Chong's martial arts skills are quite good, but he still needs to work on his character!

Of course, he was humble and eager to learn. Although he thought Lin Chong was nothing special, he still asked him for some spear techniques and some unexpected... special moves that could kill someone on horseback!

Lin Chong's work attitude is not good. After teaching, he left in a hurry, making himself seem like a monster!

However, the young master was magnanimous and did not hold it against him. After the man left, he silently resumed his practice until the bell rang to signal the end of the camp and the start of the meal.

He strode towards the public kitchen with an air of indifference, feeling like a master hidden in the military camp, just waiting for the right moment to break out and make a name for himself!

He was surrounded by a bunch of mediocre people, all there to make himself stand out!

"Ha, ants!" Gao Zhao glanced at the soldiers crowding around for food, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Young master, your meal is ready!" Director Cheng greeted him and led him into the inner room.

Ever since Gao Zhao incited the soldiers to cause a disturbance last time, he has been given special treatment!

"Ha, a big ant!" Gao Zhao was completely unmoved by his flattery. He had earned it all through his own abilities, so why should he appreciate it?

Of course, we still have to be grateful to Gao Qiu, otherwise he could have chosen to kill us!

Well, then he's not an ant!

He's currently the minor supporting character protecting the protagonist!

"Young Master, are you satisfied with today's dishes?" Director Cheng pulled out a chair and invited Gao Zhao to sit down.

Gao Zhao looked at the eight or nine dishes on the table, including chicken, fish, meat, and eggs, and nodded slightly, saying, "I've always been frugal, so please make do with this!"

The magistrate's lips twitched as he listened, but he still flattered, "Young master, you are truly self-disciplined and respectful of propriety; you are indeed a scholar!"

Gao Zhao reached out and tore off a chicken leg. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment. This guy actually knows how to restrain himself and follow the rules? I never thought of using that word to praise myself!

Clearly, this word was much more sophisticated than those common words. Gao Zhao was very pleased with it and subconsciously nodded, writing it down so he could use it later!

He then began to eat and drink excessively. His high-intensity training had greatly depleted his physical strength, and his appetite had increased significantly since the start of the training.

After finishing half the dishes, he slowed down slightly, paused briefly, and said, "Would it be inappropriate for me to cook for myself like this? Would people say I'm out of touch with the masses?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ju laughed and said, "Young Master, you're overthinking it. You're not a member of the Imperial Guard, so how can you say you're detached from the masses? Besides, the food you're eating is originally the Grand Commandant's share. It's just that the Grand Commandant is very fond of his son and couldn't bear to eat it himself, so he gave it to you to enjoy!"

"Oh! I see!" Gao Zhao looked at Cheng Ju with admiration in his eyes. This man has potential!

What was clearly a case of giving special treatment was described by him as "fatherly love as solid as a mountain"!

Let's say there are talented people among the Imperial Guards!

They're good at everything except fighting; they're all talented and have a pleasant way of speaking!

"What's your name?"

When the official saw that the man had taken the initiative to ask for his name, he was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Reporting to you, sir, my name is Li Shunchen!"

"I'll remember you!" Gao Zhao raised his hand and pointed at him. Since the other person had served him so diligently, he had to give him some hope, right? It was a worthwhile and inexpensive thing to do anyway.

If you're stingy with even verbal praise, who would want to work with you?

After finishing his meal, Gao Zhao returned to the barracks, took a shower, changed his clothes, and compared the difference of one foot and two inches to the distance between them. He felt deeply that there was still a long way to go and a heavy responsibility to be shouldered!

We still need to intensify our training tomorrow!

……

Upon waking up, Gao Zhao was full of energy again. That's the advantage of being physically strong. He excitedly went to practice his marksmanship. After finishing a set, he still hadn't seen Zhou Ang coming over, so he couldn't help but frown.

In just a few days, Lao Zhou has already become lax. How can he achieve great things if he does this!

After putting away his spear, Gao Zhao was about to go find Zhou Ang and give him a good critique, one that would touch his very soul!

I had only walked a short distance when I heard a loud shout from the side: "Hey! So you're still here. Saves me the trouble of looking for you!"

Gao Zhao turned his head and was immediately terrified. It was none other than the instructor, Gong Sheng!

Although I knew he had recovered from his injuries and would be coming back, I never expected him to return so quickly!

This is troublesome. Zhou Ang isn't around either. With no one to back us up, if things really come to blows, I'm afraid the outcome will be dire!

Gao Zhao's mind raced. Now that he had been caught, if he tried to run away, he would likely not escape and would lose face, damaging his reputation!

But if it were to be fought, I would definitely be no match for him. I've only been training for a few days, so I know exactly what my stats are!

The only option now is to outsmart them!

He immediately raised his head, his expression arrogant, and shouted, "Who goes there? State your name!"

Gong Sheng was so angry he laughed, gritting his teeth and saying, "You ambushed me when I wasn't looking the other day, have you forgotten!"

Gao Zhao glanced sideways and said arrogantly, "I am known as invincible with spears and clubs, and I love fighting. Countless people have fallen to me. Why should I remember you?"

"Arrogant!" Gong Sheng roared in fury, brandishing his white waxwood staff. "How dare you call yourself invincible at such a young age! You truly don't know your place! Today I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Wait!" Gao Zhao suddenly raised his hand, interrupting the other man, and glanced at him, saying, "You just said that I defeated you before?"

"That was your sneak attack!" Gong Sheng immediately retorted.

Gao Zhao shook his head slightly and said, "When I fight, I always fight fairly and squarely. I never attack people from behind, so how can you say I am attacking them from behind!"

"That's you..."

"alright!"

Gong Sheng was about to argue when Gao Zhao interrupted him, saying, "But that's not important. It's just that you want to challenge me again! I'll accept!"

"Wait!" Gao Zhao shouted again, disdainfully saying, "Who do you think you are? You think you can just fight me like that? Do you have even the slightest respect for a true master?"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Gong Sheng impatiently slammed the candle stick on the ground and asked coldly.

"We can compete! But I get to decide the time!" Gao Zhao straightened his back, put his hands behind his back, adopting a solitary air of a master, and said calmly, "I'll compete with you when I'm in a better mood!"

"Heh, so if you're in a bad mood for the rest of your life, then I'll never be able to get my revenge?" Gong Sheng sneered. "I'll give you a month at most! Otherwise, whether you compete or not, I'll take action!"

After saying that, Gong Sheng turned and left.

Gao Zhao stood there blankly, feeling strange. Didn't they usually say three or five days?

Why did he set the date for a month later?

Isn't this giving myself time to grow?

Right, I need to start practicing!

Gao Zhao hurriedly ran to put on his armor...

On the other side, Gong Sheng bowed and stood in front of Zhou Ang to report the situation.
