Wan remembered that the aunt from before had said that the Elementary Scholar's family wasn't well off.

He was only 15 years old this year and had already become an Elementary Scholar. Because of his poor family, he did not take the Elementary Scholar examination. From the looks of it, this Elementary Scholar was indeed someone with true skill.

A-Wan looked at Elementary Scholar Li and saw that he looked delicate and pretty. His eyes were clear and his body was thin. He looked malnourished.

When she thought about his neither haughty nor humble attitude just now, she could not help but to nod her head.

He approached him. "What's your name?"

After experiencing the reversal just now, Li Haoran was still in a daze. He saw the savage girl walking straight towards him while he was teaching Zhao Liang a lesson.

He felt a little uncomfortable inside. He had witnessed the whole process of Wan kicking Zhao Liang. In his heart, Wan was even more dangerous than Zhao Liang.

Right now, she was still holding his painting, her eyes filled with interest. Elementary Scholar Li sighed in his heart, "It looks like I won't be able to keep the painting!"

Wan approached him, amused by the complicated look in his eyes.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"Yes sir!" Elementary Scholar Li answered with a straight face.

The smile in Wan's eyes grew wider, but in Scholar Li's eyes, it was a malicious smile.

"Why?"

"You can even cure a person like Zhao Liang. You are a person even more terrifying than him." Elementary Scholar Li spoke with a broken tone.

Wan laughed and stopped teasing him.

"What's your name?"

"Li Haoran." The Elementary Scholar replied.

"You drew it, and the words came from your own hand?" A-Wan waved the painting in her hands.

"Yes, it's all my work. This isn't a masterpiece, it's worthless!" Elementary Scholar Li answered Wan's question and did not forget to try to keep his work.

A-Wan smiled. "I heard that you're only 15 years old. Which academy did you attend?"

"I've never been to the academy, I've only been to the private school in the town for a few years!"

Wan was surprised. "Don't tell me the private school is already so good?"

It wasn't that Wan was making a fuss, but the difference between a private school and a school was huge.

Under normal circumstances, the teachers in a private school would not be able to become an Elementary Scholar, and would not be able to learn anything new for decades. Teaching students would be done behind closed doors, so the private school could only teach a few enlightened students.

The academy's resources were quite plentiful. Whether it was the literature or the teachers, they were not something that a private school could compare to. Therefore, those who wanted to earn a place in the academy would think of ways to go to study.

On the other hand, Li Haoran had never been to the academy before. He had only been in the private school for a few years to become an Elementary Scholar. If his luck wasn't too good, then he was a genius.

Li Haoran had seen this kind of surprise a lot.

"The teacher said that I was the best student he had ever taught!" Even though he tried his best to appear calm and collected, his slightly red earlobes betrayed his distress. After all, it was rather embarrassing for him to praise himself.

Wan was amused by his awkward look.

"Do you want to go to the Qing City Academy?"

"The Azure City Institute is the head of the various academies in the Azure Province, so of course I want to go there. However, my family is poor and I have a sick mother to take care of, so I don't have any extra money to spend on studying!" Li Haoran said with a hint of yearning and disappointment in his eyes.

Nightingale could not bear to see this.

"If there's a chance for you to go to the Blue City Academy now, are you willing to go?"

Li Haoran looked at Wan in surprise. There was some light in his eyes, but it disappeared.

Ever since the establishment of the Qing City Academy, a policy of nurturing Humble Class students has been set up. Once you pass the examination, all expenses incurred in the academy will be exempted.

Li Haoran was even more surprised.

Wan smiled lightly and continued:

"Let's give it a try!" As for your mother, you can entrust her to the care of your relatives and tell them that you have acquired the Qingcheng Institute's Qingye.

I want this painting. Wait a moment, follow me and we will go to the Ye family for 10 taels of silver.

I'll help you recommend the academy. As for the rest, it'll be up to you. "

Li Haoran raised his head and looked at Wan, his eyes beaming with hope.

Looking at the smiling Wan of the Ye Family, Li Haoran remembered that she said she was from the Ye Family. He thought she was just a scammer using the cover of the Ye Family, but now he believed it.

A-Wan didn't bother with Li Haoran anymore. She asked Zhao Nian, who was watching the show on the side, to lead the way to the Zhao Family. Li Haoran quickly followed behind her.

When they arrived at Yongan Lane, Zhao Nian stopped in front of a three-way courtyard.

A-Wan asked Zhao Liang to knock on the door.

Soon, the door was opened. A head peeked out from the inside, and upon seeing Zhao Liang, who had his hands hanging by his sides, and a displeased expression on his face, he was taken aback.

He hurriedly opened the door and walked out:

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Zhao Liang shook his head at the servant, not daring to say anything else. Then, the servant called a few more people to help Zhao Liang in.

A-Wan was astonished when she saw the servants who came out along with Zhao Liang. The Zhao Family had a bunch of servants, even the Ye Family didn't have so many servants to serve them.

Entering the door, Wan realized that she was surprised too early, because the Zhao Family had more maids.

On the way to the parlour, Wan saw more than ten maidservants, not counting the four that served in the parlour.

Moreover, the Zhao Family's courtyard was decorated extravagantly, looking even more luxurious than the County Magistrate's courtyard.

Nightingale calmly looked around. She had already come up with a plan.

However, she had been waiting in the parlour for a long time, yet Zhao Fu had not come. She asked the servants, who also did not know what was going on.

Wan knew that she couldn't wait any longer, so she turned around and left for the store that Zhao Fu was supposed to manage.

She took the account book from the shop and flipped through it. Then, she sent her servants to the county magistrate to report the case.

And when she went back to the Ye Family, she wanted to write a bill, but had to write it before she realized that she didn't know how to write a bill.

She thought back to what the auntie had said earlier. Li Haoran often wrote a bill for people, so she quickly ordered people to catch him and bring him back.

Li Haoran, who just walked out of the Ye Family mansion, looked at the servants blocking in front of him and was confused. He thought the Ye Family was here to get the money.

Wan looked at the angry Li Haoran who was brought back by the servant, and became speechless. It wasn't that she really couldn't bear to part with those ten taels of silver, but that Li Haoran's work was completely worth that much money.

"I'll give you twenty taels of silver to write a bill for me." Accused the Zhao Family of illegally stealing the Ye Family's property. "

Only now did Li Haoran realize that he was a despicable person. He could not help but blush:

"There's no need for such a large sum. Even writing a bill only costs a few dozen gold coins!"

Wan felt that this child was too sincere.

"Just write it. If it's not worth twenty silver taels, I naturally won't give you that much!"
