"Amber, turn on the lights! I want to fight this kid all night long!"

Don't look at Hai Rui's age, but when it comes to a real fight, even if three Zhao Haos are tied together, they still don't have as much energy as him alone.

Hai'an didn't know how long it had been since he saw his master so high-spirited. He was so happy that he quickly lit the oil lamp.

Zhao Hao waved his hands and said weakly, "Let's call a truce. I can't speak anymore."

"How can you, young man, be so unwilling to endure hardship?" Hai Rui was in high spirits, so how could he let him go easily? "I am over fifty years old and I have never complained of being tired!"

"Lord Hai is wrong. My master is still growing." Before Zhao Hao could say anything, someone spoke for him.

Zhao Hao was startled and turned around to see Wang Wuyang and Hua Shuyang, who had appeared behind him at some point.

The two of them also held a small notebook each and took notes quickly.

"When did you come?" Zhao Hao asked curiously.

"When Master criticized Dong Zhongshu." Wang Wuyang finished writing down the last sentence, closed the notebook and said, "We were worried that Master would suffer a loss, so we wanted to come in to help, and then we heard your debate with Lord Hai."

"Really?" Zhao Hao smiled bitterly. The battle with Hai Rui had absorbed all his attention, and he had really forgotten everything else. "Then what are you doing?"

"As a disciple, of course I have to record such an important debate of my master. Otherwise, there will definitely be omissions when I publish the 'Instructions for Practical Living' in the future." Hua Shuyang also finished recording his part.

"Uh, okay..." Zhao Hao smacked his lips, thinking that these two guys were thinking long-term. I hadn't even thought about this myself.

Hai Rui had seen the two men a long time ago, but seeing that they had no intention of causing trouble and were just quietly taking notes, he did not scold them.

Seeing Zhao Hao's exhausted look, he knew that this guy really couldn't fight anymore today, so he let him go reluctantly and said, "Okay, let's fight again tomorrow."

"Okay, okay." Zhao Hao stood up shakily, feeling like his head was no longer his own.

"I'll wait for you at home tomorrow. See you there." Looking at Zhao Hao's departing back, Hai Rui said loudly, "I know your house is next door. If Chen Shi doesn't come, I will go find you!"

"Ah, how did you know? Don't you always look straight ahead when you walk?" Zhao Hao almost tripped over the threshold, and wailed in his heart: "Will Lord Hai tire me to death?"

~~

When he came out of Hai Rui's mansion, the people had basically dispersed, but Wang Yongji was still there.

"Brother Mingshou, aren't you cold, hungry or tired?" Zhao Hao asked weakly.

"I can't rest in peace if I don't see you and hear you talk about Lord Hai's situation." Wang Yongji was cold, hungry and tired. He was from Fujian and had been standing in the ice and snow for most of the day. He was so cold that his nose was running. He almost cried when he talked about it.

"Who knew that the young master would come out after dark..."

"Okay, it's my fault." Zhao Hao apologized with a wry smile, "Let's go home and warm up first."

After returning home, taking off his shoes and lying flat on the warm kang like a salted fish, Zhao Hao felt like he was alive again.

Then Zhao Hao briefly told Wang Yongji about Hai Rui's situation and invited him to have dinner at his home.

After dinner, as soon as Wang Yongji left, Zhao Hao fell asleep. His disciples fetched water for him to wash his feet, but they could not call their master to come.

"That Hai Gangfeng is too much. My son is still a child, can't he be more restrained?" Zhao Shouzheng was so distressed that he said angrily, "I'd better not argue with him and just stay at home and have a good rest."

Wang Wuyang and Hua Shuyang looked at each other and thought, this is clearly a top-level academic debate, how come it becomes a bickering when it comes from the master's mouth?

Of course, the two of them would never dare to refute their master.

~~

The next morning, Zhao Shouzheng took Fang Wen and several guards and hurriedly left in a car.

Today was the day he and his classmates had agreed to go burn incense. Zhao Shouzheng first had to meet up with everyone at the Yingtian Guild Hall in Shichahai, and then go to the Baiyun Temple outside the West Gate together. If he didn't leave early, he would be late.

After his father left, Zhao Hao wanted to continue sleeping, but before he could see Duke Zhou again, he heard an old voice in the courtyard:

"Mr. Zhao, please get up. My master wants to see you."

After a while, Wang Wuyang came in and reported to the angry Zhao Hao: "Master, Lord Hai is getting impatient. His old servant said that if you don't go over, he will come to invite you personally."

"No, no, no..." Zhao Hao covered his head with the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "Don't bother me, I want to sleep!"

Wang Wuyang had no choice but to leave the room and whispered to Hai'an, "My master doesn't get enough sleep. The consequences will be very serious, so you better go back first."

"What are the consequences?" Hai'an asked puzzledly.

"He will take his anger out on us..." Hua Shuyang shuddered, and together with his senior brother, he pushed Hai'an out.

~~

Hai An had no choice but to turn back and report the situation next door to Hai Rui.

"What time is it?" Hai Rui looked outside and saw that the sun had already risen high. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Young people should go to bed early and get up early. How can they sleep in?"

As he said this, he asked Hai'an to help him get dressed, and then pushed open the tightly closed gate.

The fans who were eagerly waiting outside the door looked at the scene in disbelief - before today, Hai Rui would close the door to visitors except when he went to work in the government office!

It was the first time they saw Hai Gong walking out of the door in casual clothes...

Immediately, many people couldn't help but shed tears.

Although they didn't know what had happened, they could clearly feel that Hai Qingtian, whom they cared about, had finally come back to life.

Seeing everyone wiping tears silently, Hai Rui felt a slight soreness in his nose and bowed to everyone.

Everyone hurriedly bowed in return, and many even knelt down and kowtowed to him.

When they stood up, Hai Gong was nowhere to be seen.

"Zhao boy, a man without integrity cannot stand. We agreed to continue the debate today, you can't be a deserter!

A strong voice was heard from the courtyard of Guangluqing's house across the street:

"Since you are unwilling to come over, it will be the same for me to come over and debate with you..."

"Help..." Immediately afterwards, the cry of a young man was heard in the yard.

This sound made Zhao Shixi, who was walking in the queue with a snot hanging from his nose, secretly happy. He thought to himself, you kid, you finally met your match, right?

He was gloating when he was unexpectedly hit by Gao Wu's whip.

After a long while of fighting, Gao Wu finally said in a muffled voice: "Don't be distracted!"

~~

The most feared word in the world is "seriousness".

Zhao Hao had no idea what to do with Hai Rui, who was extremely serious, so he had to get out of bed. After a quick wash and breakfast, the two of them continued their debate from yesterday while peeling peanuts on the kang...

Zhao Shizhen served tea to the two men, and the two disciples continued to hold paper and pen, recording this far-reaching philosophical debate word for word.

ps. The fifth update, 3300 votes and more updates... In addition, peanuts have existed in China since ancient times.
