"Hehe!" The headmaster smiled warmly. Today, he had called Mr. Liu, the 'Black Dog,' to speak with Mr. Gao Liang's father, and learned that indeed, Mr. Gao's mother had gone to the hospital. Thus, he fully believed what Gao Liang had said. "Gao Liang, we're already quite familiar with your family situation. To ensure you can keep up with your studies, the school's board has decided..." As he spoke, the headmaster paused, his eyes shifting toward Mr. Liu. Knowing it was his turn to shine, Mr. Liu immediately adopted a serious, dedicated demeanor, chest puffed out, making firm promises and delivering an enthusiastic speech to Gao Liang: "Gao Liang! The headmaster truly has high hopes for you! Under the headmaster's personal care, I've assigned my top student, Zhang Yuping, to tutor you! How does that sound?" Gao Liang had just been about to say, "That sounds great!" when Ying'er suddenly appeared. With her lips pursed, she looked rather unhappy and said, "Master!" Do you want a beautiful girl or someone who's well-trained in martial arts? "Martial arts!" Gao Liang answered with his mind waves. Indeed, through cultivating his mental strength, Gao Liang has grown less susceptible to beautiful girls—especially after arriving in the Song Dynasty and meeting Pan Jinlian, whom he successfully resisted through consistent training and mental discipline. Since that moment, his goal has always been to advance in martial arts cultivation. He aspires to become a cosmic superhero and ultimately a true divine martial sovereign. "Thank you very much, Mr. Fang and Ms. Liu for your kind offer! However, as a day-student, I can go home to review my lessons, while Zhang Yuping is a boarding student and it would be less convenient for her. Therefore, I respectfully decline." Gao Liang's words left Zhang Yuping, who had been blushing all along, stunned. She hadn't expected that, after so much effort to convince herself to tutor Gao Liang, this wonderful opportunity would be rejected—right in front of the teachers and the principal. Hmph! He simply doesn't give me any face. Zhang Yuping is a determined, outstanding student. She looked directly at Liu He-gou and Fang Bin, the principal, and said, "The after-class tutoring—I've already agreed!" Fang Bin beamed with satisfaction, nodding enthusiastically, saying, "Our school absolutely cannot leave behind a single struggling student. We must strengthen mentorship and support, so that Gao Liang can catch up!" "The principal's teaching spirit! I will certainly implement and follow through!" Liu He-gou said, flattery in his tone. Fang Bin tapped his desk with his right finger, making a firm sound, and declared, "Gao Liang, you mustn't hesitate any longer! Starting today, Zhang Yuping will officially be tutoring you!" Though Gao Liang was a bit reluctant, he still replied, "Thank you, Principal and Teacher, for your guidance and support!" The principal departed, pleased. Liu He-gou watched the principal's retreating figure, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. As he noticed many students watching him, he immediately raised his hand and said, "What are you all staring at? Get back home now!" "Remember, the homework is due tomorrow!" With that, Liu Heigou took his large triangular ruler, his lesson plan notebook, and his math book and walked out. The students began to leave in small groups, leaving only Zhang Yuping and Gao Liang in the classroom. "Gao Liang, please bring out your homework! Open to page 11—we're going to work on this problem together!" Zhang Yuping urged Gao Liang. Gao Liang had been so focused on "practicing and upgrading" lately that he hadn't given much thought to his studies, and his homework was clean and fresh, untouched. For the entire ten days, Gao Liang hadn't written a single line of solution—this left Zhang Yuping quite disappointed. At that moment, Gao Liang's phone rang—it was from Feizhu Deng, one of his three closest friends. They had been worried about him all day and had naturally missed the entire class. Gao Liang picked up the phone and said, "I'll be there right away." Zhang Yuping also guessed that Gao Liang would soon be tangled up with a group of rowdy students on campus, so she quickly stepped in and said, "Gao Liang, I'm here to help you with your studies under the direct instruction of the principal. If you don't comply with my arrangements, I can report you straight to the principal at any time!" Hearing that she would report him to the principal, Gao Liang immediately grew anxious. If Zhang Yuping reported him to Liu He-Gou, he wouldn't care at all. So Gao Liang immediately smiled warmly at Zhang Yuping and said, "Class President! I'm currently extremely busy. I promise to fully cooperate with your tutoring schedule tomorrow—how about that?" "No way!" Zhang Yuping was a person who always upheld her principles. Goodness! Didn't expect it to be this difficult even against a beautiful woman. Old Zai was a top-tier man, a truly outstanding handsome guy. If he couldn't even manage this little beauty right beside him, what good would his years of training do? Gao Liang communicated with Ying'er through his brainwave consciousness: "Ying'er, help me out!" "Hmph! The host's emotional intelligence is simply too low—he doesn't understand girls at all! As Ying'er spoke, a virtual line appeared in Gao Liang's mind: "Zhang Yупing's headwear was accidentally lost today!" Gao Liang suddenly noticed that Zhang Yупing's hair was casually loose and slightly messy. Ah, yes—he had found a heart-shaped bow headwear, pink and very elegant, in the dressing room at Longfeng Hall earlier today. He had even kept it in his pocket, not realizing he'd forgotten it until now. At that moment, his phone rang. This time, it was from Wang Yang, one of his three close friends, who was clearly urging him to leave immediately. How could Gao Liang possibly stay any longer? With a sudden idea, he pointed behind Zhang Yупing. Zhang Yупing turned around in confusion, only to find nothing out of the ordinary. Two seconds later, she turned back again and saw that Gao Liang had already gone. Just as she was about to shout, she noticed a sparkling object on the table. "Wow! It's so beautiful!" Zhang Yuping had never seen such a refined hairpin before—she was so delighted that it felt like Columbus discovering a new continent. Without thinking, she fastened it on and checked herself in the small mirror. It looked wonderful, and her spirits lifted immediately. "Great! This time, you've truly been lucky!" Zhang Yuping thought to herself. Gao Liang arrived at the campus of Hanhai No.1 Middle School just in time, only to find her three close friends leading a group of their own brothers, anxiously waiting for him. "Gao Brother! Why are you only here now? Our brothers have all missed class today just for your sake!" Fei-Zhu Deng, Wuyi Yang, and Ruan-Dan Wu exclaimed in unison. Gao Liang realized that since he had left Longfeng Hall, his three friends had been deeply worried, and had immediately gathered their brothers to form a support network—any call from them, and they would rush straight to Longfeng Hall headquarters. Yet, to his surprise, not only had he arrived unscathed, but he had also come in full regalia, glowing with pride. "Gao Brother! Truly amazing! You managed to step out "Deng, the fat pig, raised his big thumb in praise. 'Liang's Golden Fist is unparalleled! I think Qiao, the head of Longfeng Hall, must be afraid!' said Wang, the humble one, with a chuckle.
