Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

Gao Zhao did not go out that night, but stayed at home to sleep. He needed to adjust his sleep schedule and get over his jet lag.

The next morning, Gao Zhao woke up feeling refreshed and full of energy. He immediately got up, washed up, and prepared to go to the training ground to practice again and improve his physical attributes!

Yesterday's battle with Xuan Zan greatly stimulated him, and now he only wants to improve his strength so that he can avenge himself. He even ignored Feng San Niang, who was deliberately bending down to wipe the furniture.

After the man left, Feng San Niang turned her head to look at him with a resentful expression, feeling uncertain and surprised. Wasn't this the position he used to like the most?

Have I lost my appeal to him so quickly?

This inevitably made her somewhat anxious and insecure, and she became a little absent-minded when doing things!

Gao Zhao was completely unaware of the situation. Once he arrived at the training ground, he began to practice diligently. He twirled the small stone lock so skillfully that it flew up and down. Not satisfied with that, he switched to a medium-sized one.

After performing several single-flower and floating flower lock techniques, his arm muscles were tense, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and chin, soaking through his short clothes.

After finishing the stone lock training, Gao Zhao started the weighted obstacle course training again. There was no armor at home... This was absolutely necessary, otherwise Gao Qiu would be in trouble!

He had someone bring him several sandbags, weighing about fifty or sixty pounds, and tied them to his body. As soon as he landed, his legs suddenly felt heavy, and he had to forcefully resist the force of the fall with every step he took.

This feeling is familiar; it's like this during weight training in the military.

The training ground had already been set up with obstacles, including low wooden fences, earthen slopes, and trenches half a person deep.

He lowered his waist to steady his stance, took a deep breath, and charged forward, the sandbags hitting his calves with a dull thud.

Each time I jumped over the wooden fence, my thigh muscles ached from the tension. The dirt slope that I could easily leap over in the past now required me to gather all my strength to jump over.

After running several laps, my chest was burning, and I was breathing heavily. My clothes were completely soaked with sweat and clung tightly to my skin.

Several guards huddled far away under the eaves, looking at each other with a heavy weight on their hearts, secretly lamenting their predicament.

In the past, the sons of officials never came here to play. They spent their days loitering on the streets, enjoying a relaxed and carefree life, which allowed them to have plenty of free time.

I don't know why, but these past two days I've been coming here to train, causing them to worry and be afraid along with me.

What if I bump into something and get hurt? Wouldn't that make me share the responsibility?

"Oh my god, this will affect my career!"

One of the guards, who came from Jingdong West Road, couldn't help but sigh, and the others nodded in agreement.

You go out and flirt with young women and wives all the time, isn't that great?

Why did you come here to have fun?

She wanted to coax him away, but seeing his training methods, which were quite methodical and clearly not just a whim, she hesitated.

Only when Gao Zhao collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, did someone finally step forward to advise him: "Young master, be careful not to get hurt, know when to stop..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gao Zhao sat up abruptly, his eyes full of provocation, and said, "You can't outrun me, do you believe that?"

The guard was stunned and had not yet understood what Gao Zhao meant when he forcibly tied sandbags to his body and then they ran together on the obstacle course.

Those chosen by Gao Qiu as his personal bodyguards were naturally extraordinary. They were all tall, strong, and powerful. Although they did not usually train for obstacle courses, they could still overwhelm Gao Zhao with their physical strength alone!

But when Gao Zhao opened the panel, he added some points to his constitution when he was exhausted, and instantly regained his vitality.

Then everyone was dumbfounded!

He exerted force with both legs, his pace suddenly quickened, and he moved lightly as he climbed over the wooden fence and effortlessly ascended the earthen slope. The figure that was far behind just moments before was now overtaken by the guard in an instant.

After several laps, the guard was the first to collapse from exhaustion, panting heavily. Gao Zhao ran another lap before stopping, coming to him, and shaking his head, saying:

"Do you know the saying, 'One is born in hardship and dies in comfort'? How can you progress if you indulge in pleasure all day long and do not strive for improvement?"

The guards looked embarrassed and stood there with their heads down, at a loss for words, unable to utter a single word in their defense.

They usually work in the Gao family and have a leisurely life. Apart from their daily escorts, they rarely have to endure such hardship and training. In the race just now, they were outdone by their own son, and they felt ashamed and embarrassed!

Especially since his own son was a playboy known as the "playboy prince," it would be truly shameful to lose to him!

This will also affect their future careers!

"Opportunity favors the prepared mind. You must strive! Don't wait until the opportunity comes and then miss it, only to regret it later."

Gao Zhao raised his hand and patted the guard's shoulder, saying earnestly, "I think my words have touched your souls. Take heed of your words!"

After saying that, he decisively turned and left, leaving everyone with a majestic silhouette.

Name: Gao Zhao

Gratitude Points: 28

Intelligence: 69+/100

Strength: 51+/100

Physical fitness: 58+/100

Agility: 51+/100

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

When Gao Zhao opened the panel again, his heart ached so much that it bled. He had originally planned to spend those gratitude points on women, but he didn't expect to use them on men instead!

And it wasn't just this time; the last time I dealt with Gong Sheng, I activated Berserk, which directly depleted my physique, and it was the same thing!

This damn vanity... No, how can I blame myself?

This is clearly a case of these people looking down on others. If I were in a higher position, would they dare to act like this?

No matter how upright you are, you still need to understand human relationships and social etiquette!

Gao Zhao walked backwards, covered in sweat, and then ran into Qian Bao'er...

"Baby, did you come here especially to wait for me?"

Upon seeing him, Qian Bao'er instinctively wanted to avoid him, but upon hearing his words, she stopped in her tracks, angrily shouting, "Who's waiting for you! You're covered in sweat and stinks to death!"

Gao Zhao was shocked and his voice trembled as he said, "Bao'er, how could you do this? How dare you secretly smell my scent!"

"You...you shameless..." Qian Bao'er's face flushed red as she stomped her foot and cursed, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tell the Grand Commandant!"

Gao Zhao looked at her in surprise again, shook his head and sighed, "I thought Bao'er was the most innocent, but I never expected you to be so cunning!"

"Wh...what scheme?" Qian Bao'er looked bewildered.

Gao Zhao sneered, "You're telling my master just so you can force me to take you as a concubine, aren't you?"

"You're lying! I didn't!" Qian Bao'er's face flushed red, both ashamed and angry. "Who wants to be your concubine!"

"If you won't become my concubine, who will?"

"I...I won't give it to anyone! Can't I just find a good family to marry into?"

"How could you be so heartless!" Gao Zhao exclaimed, his face filled with dejection.

Qian Bao'er retorted, "I'd rather marry anyone than you!"

Gao Zhao's eyes darted around, and she took a step closer, teasingly saying, "Then when you get married, I'll tell your husband that I kissed you!"

Qian Bao'er was struck dumb, taking two steps back. She couldn't help but recall the scene of him groping her yesterday. Her ears burned red, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with both anger and fear. "You...you scoundrel...if you dare to tell anyone, I...I will die!"

Gao Zhao quickly stepped forward, then wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close, and said softly, "Don't waste your life before you die, let me kiss you one more time."

As he spoke, ignoring Qian Bao'er's struggles and resistance, he lowered his head and kissed her again.

After a long while, he smacked his lips, looked at Qian Bao'er who had fled in disarray, laughed triumphantly, and walked back.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Fu'an rushed forward: "Young Master, someone wants to rescue Wang Qing!"
