Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

After waking up, Gao Zhao felt full of energy and was once again a vigorous and energetic man!

This made him sigh, "It's so good to be young!"

Their recovery ability is so strong!

If this were an older man in his thirties or forties, it would take him several days to recover!

But even people in their thirties and forties can't do it like I do, several times a day, haha...

Gao Zhao lay on the bed and couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself that he was quite funny!

With a thought, he opened the system panel again.

Name: Gao Zhao

Gratitude Points: 52

Intelligence: 69+/100

Strength: 50+/100

Physical fitness: 55+/100

Agility: 51+/100

Skills: Calligraphy (Mastery), Martial Arts (Beginner Level), Berserk

Gao Zhao frowned as he looked at the numbers on the panel. He had indeed been slacking off lately!

Aside from gaining a dozen or so points in gratitude value, only agility increased slightly, and physique remained completely unchanged.

Gao Zhao felt a pang of heartache when he recalled how he had used his Berserk skill to deplete his physique when dealing with Gong Sheng!

That damned Gong Sheng, daring to provoke me for no reason, this matter is not over!

Once he's fully recovered, I'll definitely have to do it to him again!

While he was pondering, he heard the sounds of others getting up outside. Gao Zhao stopped thinking about it, got out of bed, quickly washed up, and then ran to the lecture hall with the other three.

He suddenly felt a little confused. He didn't want to listen to what the doctor was talking about, so why was he here?

It wasn't that he couldn't understand; when the old man taught him before, although there was always a theme, many other things would emerge from it.

Although his knowledge wasn't comprehensive, he still knew a little bit about everything, and he could understand about 50-60% of what was being taught in class.

He originally intended to learn, and when he encountered something he didn't understand, he would write it down so he could ask Qin Hui and Fan Tong later, or he could learn the relevant knowledge on his own.

But for some reason, when listening to the doctor's lectures, he always felt a sense of resistance and wanted to refute him at every turn, but unfortunately, he didn't have enough knowledge and couldn't articulate his reasons.

This made his classes very painful!

He wanted to skip class, but didn't know where to go, so he simply stayed in the lecture hall, listening to the professor's melodious voice, and drifted off to sleep.

After finally finishing his classes, it was time to eat. He rushed to the kitchen, intending to order a few dishes and find an opportunity to move Qin Hui again, but Fan Tong stopped him, insisting on treating him to a meal.

Seeing his sincere expression and unable to refuse his earnest invitation, Gao Zhao had no choice but to agree.

He actually saw Fan Tong very clearly; he was a typical sycophant who flattered the powerful and belittled the weak!

Don't be fooled by his current enthusiasm; it's only because you have some use to him. Once he has the chance to climb the social ladder, he'll unhesitatingly use you as a stepping stone.

Gao Zhao had seen many people like this in later generations, but he couldn't say he disliked them!

If you just think about it from a different perspective, it will seem normal. Everyone interacts with each other to get what they need. Why did you have to treat a relationship based on mutual benefit as a friendship?

As long as you maintain this sense of boundaries, you'll find that dealing with this kind of person is actually quite good; at least they know how to behave!

After they sat down and exchanged a few words, Gao Zhao noticed the laughter and chatter of the people next to him.

These people were actually saying that the women in those brothels admired scholars like them the most, and that they would be treated differently if they went there!

Furthermore, it was said that Fan Tong was able to swindle money and seduce Xiang Nu for this very reason.

Fan Tong was furious!

Back then, in front of the Biyong Gate, Xiangnu made it clear that she deliberately spread rumors because she admired his talent!

How could you fabricate such lies and slander someone's innocence!

The group of people didn't expect that the person in question was right behind them. They quickly apologized and then pulled Fan Tong over to use his example to continue the previous topic, proving that the women of Xiao Jinku admired them, the scholars!

Fan Tong was also dumbfounded and didn't react. He got carried away by the praise and started showing off triumphantly.

Everyone was astonished that even someone like him could attract the attention of women, so they were willing to spread rumors and slander in order to get their attention.

Wouldn't it be even easier if I took the initiative myself?

Of course, I would never let those women suffer like that. At worst, I would offer my body to relieve their lovesickness!

The students of Biyong around them were itching to listen, and they started laughing and joking, spittle flying everywhere. Every word they said was about how precious scholars were, and how courtesans in the den of iniquity flocked to them.

It was as if those women of the night would throw themselves into their arms if they simply waved their hands!

While silently eating his meal, Gao Zhao listened to the boasting of the crowd, a slight smile playing on his lips. Something was definitely amiss. Brothels were in it to make money; how could they possibly pay you to do something just because you'd read a few books?

Do you think you're Liu Yong?

Liu Yong's fame was so great that he could help these women gain recognition and earn more money, which is why they flocked to him.

These people have become foolish from reading too much; they see things too superficially and actually believe that those prostitutes are all otherworldly, infatuated lovers.

This is getting interesting!

There must be a mastermind behind this den of iniquity!

With such a simple trick, these students of Biyong were hooked and eager to take the bait!

They will definitely have other plans, but that's not hard to guess!

The purpose of a den of iniquity is to make money. Luring people in is only the first step; the real goal is to strip them bare!

That's nothing more than things like sensual pleasures and debauchery...

Gao Zhao suddenly felt a pang of regret!

If I had known, I wouldn't have swindled Xiangnu's money. That way, he could have gone and experienced it for himself. Just thinking about it makes me realize how extravagant and licentious he must have been!

Once the thought crossed his mind, he couldn't shake it off until he finished his meal, and he was still sighing as he walked down the street.

"Brother Gongming, I need your help!"

Fan Tong suddenly spoke, startling Gao Zhao awake. He turned his head in surprise, wondering what Fan Tong wanted to say this time.

"I know you know a lot of people, so I'd like to ask you to help me borrow a document from those students in the affiliated school!"

"Are you going out?" Gao Zhao asked, his face full of doubt. "Didn't we say we'd go out on the last day of the hottest period of summer?"

Fan Tong shook his head, looking somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I want to redeem Xiang Nu as soon as possible, lest she stay there..."

Gao Zhao suddenly realized that the eagerness of the students in the public kitchen today had provoked Fan Tong, who was afraid that Xiangnu would continue to entertain guests and cuckold him!

She's just a prostitute, is it really necessary to have such a strong possessive desire for her?

However, Gao Zhao was always a public-spirited person, and immediately patted him on the shoulder, saying, "It's no big deal, I'll go with you!"
