They were already very grateful that I taught them swordsmanship, and most of the requirements they proposed earlier were half-joking.
“Hey, hey, don’t make your demands too outrageous.”
Lin Feifei immediately stood up to warn them, feeling that a few of the guys were somewhat ungrateful.
Chastened by Lin Feifei’s words, several people sheepishly started to laugh.
“Teacher Li, you definitely wouldn’t agree to go to Listening Rain Tower, so how about taking us to visit the brothels instead?” someone teased with a playful laugh.
Hearing this person’s words, the other young men’s eyes lit up, and they immediately cheered:
“That’s great, that’s great!”
All at the prime age of robust health, they had come to study at Tan Palace Academy in Qingzhou and had hardly ever left the mountain. The intense competitive pressure within the academy and the threat of elimination from the bottom ranks made them dare not relax.
They had long harbored desires for that place of romantic encounters.
Upon hearing this, however, the female students all rolled their eyes, looking disdainfully at these fellows.
Li Hao chuckled: “Going to a brothel is a trivial matter.”
In this era, entertainment was scarce, and going to a brothel was akin to swiping through TikTok in a previous life.
Brothels come in different grades, and the lowest ones are naturally the whorehouses, cheap and likely to be diseased.
Famous brothels mostly sell artistic performances; one can listen to songs and poetry. Of course, if one has good poetry or lots of money, they could also enjoy some pleasurable services.
If Li Hao were to take them, it would naturally be to the best brothel in Qingzhou to listen to some tunes, and they shouldn’t expect anything else.
“Really?”
The male students, upon seeing Li Hao agree, were overjoyed beyond measure.
But the female students all sneered, their cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
Song Yueyao gave Li Hao an annoyed glance and huffed, “If you guys want to go, then go. I’m not going.”
“I’m not going either.” Lin Feifei immediately declared.
All of the female students expressed their protest.
But the other male students, afraid that Li Hao might change his mind, were chattering non-stop like animals in the heat of spring, already set aflame with excitement.
“It’s hard to please everyone. Those of you who don’t want to go, I will gift you a drawing as compensation.”
Li Hao said to the female students.
Upon hearing Li Hao’s words, the female students were somewhat astonished, and then saw Li Hao take out a scroll from his hand and unroll it:
“This is what I sketched yesterday. You divide it among yourselves, one for each person.”
Everyone gasped in surprise when they saw it.
They had noticed that Li Hao was drawing the previous day, thinking it was just a pastime, never expecting the sketches to be so exquisite and lifelike!
The drawings included every student and White Hall, with each person’s expression pure and clean, some furrowing their brows, others tilting their heads in contemplation—each with their own charm. The girls were depicted as gentle and the boys as handsome and dashing, each with a distinct aura.
Together under the warm sunlight, it seemed as beautiful as a ten-mile spring breeze.
Many were captivated by the sight.
A young man raised his hand and said, “Teacher Li, I won’t go to the brothel, can I have one of the drawings?”
“There aren’t many, priorities for the female students.” Li Hao said with a smile.
The previously unsatisfied female students all pushed forward eagerly, scrambling to get one.
Song Yueyao’s eyes, as expressive as autumn waters, stared in astonishment at Li Hao. Such skillful artistry couldn’t have been mastered overnight.
Seeing that youth as serene as a virgin, dressed in a green robe as stout as a pine, not only was his cultivation level in swordsmanship unmatched, but he also had spare energy to devote to side skills, truly unfathomable.
After receiving their pictures, many girls began to appreciate them closely. Even though they practiced martial arts and couldn’t afford to delve into other disciplines, they naturally loved beautiful things.
Having dealt with the female students, Li Hao used the time of the second lesson to lead the male students out of White Hall, heading down the mountain.
Seeing that Li Hao was using teaching time to take them for an outing, everyone was exceptionally excited, something that had never happened before.
If other teachers found out, they would probably have all been punished by facing the wall.
But with Li Hao backing them, they were fearless even if the sky fell.
As the group descended the mountain, the news also reached Tan Palace.
Song Yufeng, who was drinking tea, almost choked, coughing repeatedly and looking up in astonishment:
“You’re saying that Li Hao went to teach, but ended up taking all the students down the mountain to visit the brothels?!”
