"I want to become someone my father can be proud of!"

Lu Zhiruo's eyes were filled with hope. This was her dream.

"So you came out alone by yourself to learn?"

Sun Mo had some admiration for this girl. On the way back, the two of them chatted a little. He knew that she was from the Sheng Capital, and it would take close to half a month to travel to Jinling by horse carriage. She hadn't reached 14 years old yet but dared to travel alone. Her guts were admirable.

"Ahh, uhh."

At the mention of this, Lu Zhiruo's countenance immediately turned dim. It hadn't been easy for her to meet that great teacher, but her aptitude turned out to be too bad, and the great teacher only took a glance at her before waving his hand to send her off. He couldn't even be bothered to say anything.

"The Central Province Academy's student recruitment meet will be held the day after tomorrow. You can take a look. You might be able to find a better great teacher then."

Sun Mo hoped that Lu Zhiruo could recognize reality and head back home earlier. After all, given her aptitude, even intern teachers might give her the cold shoulder as well.

(Although you have breasts, it isn't any help to your studies!)

Sun Mo sighed. If Lu Zhiruo's breasts could be considered as her aptitude, then she'd be looking down on the rest of the world.

"Teacher Sun, you're a good guy!"

Lu Zhiruo felt very thankful.

Sun Mo had initially planned on letting Lu Zhiruo look for an inn near the school, but she wasn't willing to do so. Left with no other choice, Sun Mo could only look for Li Gong, who then cleared up a warehouse to let her stay there temporarily.

"This is where I usually rest. No one will come, so feel free to stay here."

Li Gong's face was full of smiles, afraid that Sun Mo might not be pleased with his service.

Sun Mo waved his hand, and Li Gong took his leave. However, before he left, he couldn't help but throw a glance toward Lu Zhiruo. (Oh my god, the man who marries her in the future would be so fortunate.)

"Take this money, you can use it first."

Sun Mo took out five silver taels and gave them to Lu Zhiruo. When they had caught the thief and gotten back the loot, he knew that this papaya girl didn't have much money left. This might be the reason why she refused to stay at an inn.

"No! No!"

Lu Zhiruo waved her hand and rejected it, wearing a horrified expression.

"Take it. Are you expecting me to send you food every day?"

Sun Mo frowned.

Seeing that Sun Mo was angry, Lu Zhiruo jumped up like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on. She explained, "No, I didn't have that intention!"

"Then take it."

Sun Mo asked Lu Zhiruo for her home address so he could get someone to come and fetch her. However, when he mentioned this, Lu Zhiruo would lower her head and pretend to be dumb. Therefore, he could only give up on this thought.

After returning to the dorm, Sun Mo went through his luggage and realized that he didn't have much savings left. Therefore, it was important for him to earn money quickly. Otherwise, his standards of living would plummet.
