It had just rained that day, and there was a rare gentle breeze and the summer heat had temporarily subsided, so Zhao Hao and Qiaoqiao started playing shuttlecock in the yard.

Seeing that he was full all day and refused to move, Qiaoqiao finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she made a beautiful shuttlecock and forced Zhao Hao to exercise.

Zhao Hao couldn't use the hot weather as an excuse to refuse today, so he had to agree reluctantly.

Looking at the shuttlecock made of coins and chicken feathers flying lightly up and down around Qiaoqiao, Zhao Hao couldn't help but cheer.

"I didn't expect you were also an expert at shuttlecock kicking."

Qiaoqiao became more and more proud, kicking her feet freely, performing all kinds of fancy moves. Seeing that Zhao Hao was staring in a trance, she raised the corner of her mouth, shook her ankle, and kicked the shuttlecock towards Zhao Hao.

With a bang, the shuttlecock hit Zhao Hao on the forehead. He hurriedly raised his foot to kick it, but it unexpectedly fell to the ground.

Qiaoqiao covered her mouth and laughed, her rosy face full of joy.

"Didn't you say you were also an expert? How come you can't even catch such a simple one?"

"It was a mistake..." Zhao Hao coughed awkwardly. He was indeed an expert at shuttlecock kicking, but that was in his previous life. This was his first time to play it in this life...

He is an expert at playing hide-and-seek.

"Look at my true level." In order to save his face, Zhao Hao threw the shuttlecock high up, then kicked it with all his strength, and kicked the shuttlecock onto the roof.

“Look, it’s high…” Zhao Hao’s mouth twitched.

"You deliberately don't want to play anymore?" Qiaoqiao looked at Zhao Hao with suspicion.

"Uh..." Zhao Hao became more and more embarrassed, so he put his hands behind his back and shouted, "Gao Wu, take down the shuttlecock."

Gao Wu went to the wall and brought back a ladder, set it up and climbed up. Just as he got the shuttlecock in his hand, he was suddenly stunned and pointed outside the yard, unable to speak.

Zhao Hao turned his head and saw a young man in brocade clothes kneeling outside the door.

Seeing Zhao Hao looking over, the young man in brocade clothes shouted, "Master, please accept me as your disciple!"

For a moment, Zhao Hao thought he had traveled back to last month.

But when he saw Wang Wuyang standing next to him, he believed that he was not hallucinating.

"Why is there another one?" Qiaoqiao also covered her forehead and looked at the man in disbelief.

Seeing the blue silk ribbon tied around the waist of the young man in brocade clothes, which represented his status as a student, Qiaoqiao thought to herself that Zhao Hao was greedy and lazy. He was not even a student, so how come he was so popular in the eyes of scholars?

"Close the door, close the door, close the door quickly!" Zhao Hao thought it was another young man from some family who was attracted to learn poetry from him.

It’s tiring enough to fool Wang Wuyang, and now there’s a curious baby too. How is he going to live his life?

Gao Wu was about to close the gate, but Wang Wuyang whispered to Zhao Hao:

"Master, that man seems to be my brother-in-law..."

"Oh?" Zhao Hao's eyes lit up and he asked softly, "Is that the son of Grand Tutor Hua? Alliance Leader Wang's son-in-law?"

"Yes." Wang Wuyang nodded, feeling uneasy as he had caused trouble for his master.

"Since he is your relative, you shouldn't make it difficult for him." Zhao Hao patted his shoulder considerately and said, "You can't let your good disciple lose his way."

"Master..." Wang Wuyang was so moved that his eyes filled with tears. He thought that although Master was usually strict, he actually cared about his disciples.

"Call him in and see what's wrong with him." Zhao Hao stood in the hall with his hands behind his back and asked Wang Wuyang to bring the man in.

"Go cut a watermelon." Zhao Hao instructed Qiaoqiao again.

Seeing that his attitude at this moment was very different from the last time when Wang Wuyang became his apprentice, Qiaoqiao couldn't help but look at Zhao Hao with scrutiny, thinking that this kid must be up to something again.

~~

Young Master Hua followed Wang Wuyang in, and without caring that it had just rained in the courtyard, he bowed to Zhao Hao again!

"Student Hua Shuyang pays respect to Master and begs Master to accept me as your disciple, regardless of my ignorance."

"Your name is Hua Shuyang?" Zhao Hao had a blank expression on his face, but he was laughing like a pig in his heart.

"It's the student." Hua Shuyang replied in a deep voice.

Hua Shuyang was born into a wealthy family in Wuxi, a family of poets and scholars. His father was the famous Grand Tutor Hua Cha, otherwise he would not have been chosen as Wang Shizhen's son-in-law.

More importantly, this person ranked 16th in the Yingtian County Examination this year, and won the gold list the following year, and ranked 11th in the second class of the Palace Examination...

Moreover, he was only twenty years old, making him the youngest Jinshi in the second year of Longqing.

How could I push away a precious child like this who comes to my house to become my disciple?

Oh my, this Alliance Leader Wang’s family is really full of talented people, not only he, his grandfather, his father, his brother, his son, and his nephew are all Jinshi, even his son-in-law is a Jinshi!

He already accepted Wang Wuyang, and now he has brought out Hua Shuyang. I don't know if he can continue to make progress and seduce all the Seven Horses of the Wang Family and put together the Nine Yang Divine Art. Wouldn't that make him invincible?

Fortunately, he rarely shows emotions. Even if he is smiling in his heart, he still maintains an indifferent expression on his face.

When Zhao Hao asked his name and fell silent, Hua Shuyang couldn't help feeling uneasy and secretly glanced at Wang Wuyang beside him.

The two of them were close friends, and Wang Wuyang understood the look in his eyes without them saying anything.

"You kid, didn't you tell Master all the bad things I said?"

Wang Wuyang shook his head slightly, then lowered his head to look at the ants on the ground, no longer doing anything behind his master's back.

Seeing that he had become so honest, Hua Shuyang felt depressed and had to wait patiently for Zhao Hao to speak.

Fortunately, Qiaoqiao brought the watermelon and stuffed a slice into Zhao Hao's hand, which brought him back to his senses.

"Yeah, the flesh is sandy." Zhao Hao took a bite of the watermelon and said to Hua Shuyang with a smile, "Let's get up and eat the watermelon together."

"Master hasn't said yet whether he will accept me or not?" Hua Shuyang asked hurriedly.

"Then just kneel down and talk." Zhao Hao sat down on the chair and concentrated on eating his melon.

"Uh..." Hua Shuyang was bored and had to kneel there obediently, waiting for Zhao Hao to finish eating the melon.

Wang Wuyang was both angry and amused. He was angry because his master treated Hua Shuyang kindly for his own sake, but this guy didn't appreciate it. He was amused because this guy had accused him of being possessed by a demon the other day, and it had only been a few days.

He shamelessly knelt before his master...

"I heard that you are here to take Wu Yang back." Zhao Hao finished eating the melon, wiped his mouth with a cotton towel, and then asked in confusion: "Why do you suddenly want to become my disciple?"

"My previous disciple was a frog in a well, arrogant, so I didn't understand why Sixth Brother suddenly became his disciple." Hua Shuyang answered seriously, "Until Sixth Brother gave me the book "Elementary Mathematics" written by Master. When I went back and read it, I was amazed. I read it for three days and three nights in one breath. Suddenly, it was like a revelation, and my mind was opened. I felt that all the principles of the world were in it!"

After a pause, he looked at Zhao Hao with admiration and said, "This is the Elementary Mathematics written by Master. I have already found it very difficult to read half of it. I think Master must have Intermediate Mathematics or even Advanced Mathematics. If I can learn this great truth from Master, I will have no regrets in my life. Otherwise, I will die with regrets!"

Zhao Hao heard this and thought that this was true. The essence of mathematics is logical thinking, and it can indeed be regarded as a philosophy.

No matter whether he is a math lover or a philosophy lover, my good disciple, please come to my bowl soon.
