【Help Post: Why does everyone hate me? I've been trying so hard to get everyone's attention! — Poster: The Man Who Will Become Hokage】

【Reply: Professional solutions for friendship difficulties caused by yellow hair, large breasts, talking to oneself, extensive knowledge, and cross-dressing fetishes. Welcome to consult in the private section, we are very professional! — Replier: Head of the Neighborhood Association】

Guan Liyuan always felt that if he really listened to this guy, the cute "The Man Who Will Become Hokage" would have even fewer friends!

Out of desire for the forum's built-in "Invitation to Visit" feature, Guan Liyuan had also approached "The Man Who Will Become Hokage" a few times, but that wasn't the point now. The key was the old man on the podium who was roaring at him...

"Mr. Xiong, don't take this future servant seriously. If he wants to fall, why should you get angry with him?" A slightly handsome yellow-haired youth immediately said to the old lecturer.

This yellow-haired youth looked about three or four years older than Guan Liyuan, but his slightly delicate features couldn't hide the fierce look in his eyes.

"Hmm, Gong Wen, you did well this time. You can undergo another simulation trial before graduation. With your previous accumulation, the chances of successfully 'Opening the Spirit' are quite high. I hope you will awaken to a practical profession and become a contributor to the Alliance in the future!" Mr. Xiong said.

"My wish is to awaken as a 'Wind Elementalist,' that would be enough for me!"

Mr. Xiong smiled even more satisfactorily... because he himself was a 'Wind Elementalist'! However, after several decades, he was still just a mid-level professional, and as he got older, he lost his edge and became a lecturer at the academy.

Seeing the old and young man flattering each other, Guan Liyuan couldn't help but feel nauseous...

That's right, this yellow-haired youth, Gong Wen, was the master of the Gong family who had "bought" Guan Liyuan, the Tian Gonghao!

However, the reason Guan Liyuan didn't mock him wasn't because he was afraid of Gong Wen, but because he had already realized that Mr. Xiong was a shameless person, and mocking him would be useless.

For example, just now, to get a chance to show off in front of the Gong family's young master, he found an excuse to scold Guan Liyuan...

Which lecturer didn't know Guan Liyuan's situation? Submitting a blank paper was normal, right?

But Xiong Youliang could put on a thick face and pretend he didn't know!

Guan Liyuan didn't speak, and Xiong Youliang wanted to say more, but was interrupted by a cold snort.

Mr. Xiong paused at the sound, though his expression was slightly impatient, he didn't continue.

"Mr. Xiong, what do you think are my chances of successfully 'Opening the Spirit'?" The person who snorted coldly asked.

It was actually a lolita?

No! Upon closer inspection, it should be a short girl!

Although she was sitting, it was roughly clear that she would be about 1.3 meters tall when standing...

Apart from her height, her chestnut hair that reached her waist and the two barely visible fangs were also particularly eye-catching.

However, unlike her height and delicate features, her expression was very tough, and just one look would make people instinctively think of a "delinquent girl."

But after she spoke, Xiong Youliang, who had just been in a "I am at odds with the underachievers" stance, forced a smile and said, "Miss Zhongli, since you have already semi-awakened before 'Opening the Spirit,' of course you will definitely succeed! And you will most likely inherit the Zhongli family's 'Tiger Warrior' profession and become a powerful professional..."

Xiong Youliang was eager to please the Gong family, and Gong Wen also liked the feeling of having a lecturer in the academy to support him, so the two naturally colluded and acted in concert.

However, the Zhongli family, to which Zhongli Qiu belonged, was also a major family in Duran City, and Zhongli Qiu, who had already semi-awakened before the 'Opening the Spirit' ceremony, was one of the most talented in this generation of young people in Duran City. But Zhongli Qiu's personality, inheriting the Zhongli family's "uprightness," left Xiong Youliang no chance to please her...

He could easily belittle Guan Liyuan to make Gong Wen feel better, but if he also offended Zhongli Qiu, he would have to think twice.

After all, when the Zhongli family put him in a sack, the Gong family might not be willing to stand up for him, a mere outsider...

Why did belittling Guan Liyuan actually please Gong Wen? Wasn't he supposed to be a quasi-servant of the Gong family?

This has to be traced back to a month ago. At first, Tian Gonghao had Guan Liyuan join the class next to Gong Wen, partly because Gong Wen was about to graduate and also to give Gong Wen an extra servant in the academy!

After all, the Basic Education Academy was compulsory boarding, and no personal servants were allowed in the academy...

But while Tian Gonghao's idea was good, he underestimated Guan Liyuan's "stubbornness"!

Guan Liyuan's situation was obvious to almost everyone, and they all understood that his best choice was to prepare to become a servant now and try to get along well with Gong Wen...

Tian Gonghao was the steward of the Gong family, but everyone knew that he was not a real steward. He mainly operated under the name of the Gong family, running his own small business, and with the backing of the Gong family, he often did immoral things. However, he absolutely dared not offend the Gong family and even changed his name to "Gonghao"...

However, on the third day of joining the class, when the two major troublemakers, Zhongli Qiu and Gong Wen, had another "duel," and Gong Wen's six or seven lackeys blocked Zhongli Qiu's gap, Guan Liyuan, standing behind Gong Wen, picked up a chair and hit Gong Wen right on the head, who had been barking orders at him for three days!

Even Zhongli Qiu was shocked by this "accident," but she quickly reacted and, taking advantage of the lackeys' momentary confusion, beat them up!

After all, before "Opening the Spirit," whether they were top students or underachievers, everyone's physical abilities were within the "ordinary" range.

Among all the students, only Zhongli Qiu, who had semi-awakened, had some signs of a professional's fighting power, so she could sweep through six or seven 17-18-year-old boys at the age of 14...

But without Guan Liyuan's sudden betrayal, she wouldn't have won so easily!

Of course, Guan Liyuan didn't act without thinking. He had also understood Zhongli Qiu's personality and took a gamble.

Sure enough, Zhongli Qiu took all the blame afterward. Her status in the Zhongli family was much higher than Gong Wen's, who was a second son with less talent than his brothers...

Moreover, the cause of their "duel" was that Gong Wen had first harassed a female student in the class, and the most important thing was that the school's moral education director was Zhongli Qiu's aunt. Even Director Xin didn't want to clash with her aunt, so in the end, Guan Liyuan was actually fine...

Of course! Everyone knew this was temporary!

Because although Zhongli Qiu treated Guan Liyuan as a "little brother" from then on and even tried to use the Zhongli family's influence to "buy" him back, the Gong family didn't agree...

Not wanting to clash with Zhongli Qiu and the Zhongli family was one thing, but the Gong family wasn't a pushover. Guan Liyuan was originally privately bought by Tian Gonghao to be his personal slave, but with such an incident, the Gong family naturally wouldn't remain silent!

Although the special closed environment of the academy and Guan Liyuan's "indenture contract," which theoretically only took effect after graduation, meant that Guan Liyuan would have a relatively comfortable time for the next month and the following three months as Zhongli Qiu's little brother, everyone knew that once he graduated, it would be like a death sentence!

No, it wasn't just a "death sentence," the best outcome would be to die!

Now, more people were thinking about Guan Liyuan! Because Gong Wen was injured, even Tian Gonghao was scolded...

Most classmates sneered at this "feeling good for a moment with a chair" behavior. Although Zhongli Qiu was a troublemaker and the Zhongli family was also a major family, due to her personality, Zhongli Qiu didn't form cliques like Gong Wen. In the academy, only a few people were willing to deal with Guan Liyuan, whose life was on a countdown...

After class, Gong Wen specially walked up to Guan Liyuan with a dark face and said, "Little bastard, another beautiful day has passed, and the countdown to your descent into hell has ticked one more day! Don't worry, in three months... I will make sure you live a long time!"

Seeing Zhongli Qiu already walking over, Gong Wen muttered a curse and left with his lackeys...

While Zhongli Qiu, annoyed by Gong Wen's behavior, also said to Guan Liyuan with some concern, "Unfortunately, the Gong family won't agree to transfer your 'indenture contract.' In three months..."

Seeing Zhongli Qiu's troubled look, Guan Liyuan couldn't help but say, "It's okay! You've already helped me a lot. But can I ask you one more thing?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"If I successfully 'Open the Spirit,' can you help me 'pay off' the Gong family first? I don't want to get involved with the Alliance!"
