Chapter 467: 237 Seeking a Doctor (Second Update) _2
Of course, he wasn’t the person who got along with just anyone.
There were female students who came to seek instruction out of admiration, only to be disdainfully dismissed by him. Many of them wept on the spot, swearing never to seek his guidance again.
“Humph, what’s there to show off about a poor country lad? Seeking your instruction is a compliment to you! You’re acting as if you’re a hot commodity!”
“Indeed! Even Prince An isn’t as arrogant as you!”
Prince An had been appearing more frequently at the Medical Hall of late. The daughters of the female academy had run into him several times. Whenever they sought his advice, he would try his best to help; if he couldn’t, he would politely explain that he was unable to assist.
The two of them were ranked first in the spring examinations, so it was inevitable that people would compare them.
“Look, this is the etiquette a nobleman’s son should possess!”
Xiao Liulang’s reputation in Capital City was polarized. The students at the Guozijian admired him for his approachability and openness, while the students of the female academy berated him as a greenhorn who became haughtily overbearing given a bit of success.
“That’s all for today, I need to go home now, you should all go as well and take some rest.” Xiao Liulang concluded another important point, and closed his book.

No one was overly selfish or tactless. They were already grateful that Xiao Liulang was willing to spend time tutoring them, so it was unreasonable to keep him here for too long.
“Many thanks, Brother Xiao.”
“Much appreciated, Brother Xiao.”
Everyone expressed their gratitude to him.
He was the youngest amongst them, so calling him “brother” was a sign of respect.
Xiao Liulang nodded, picked up his crutch and left Guozijian.
He immediately noticed Gu Jiao as soon as he stepped outside. His eyes shimmered as he walked over and asked, “What brings you here? Have you been waiting long?”
“No, I just arrived.” Gu Jiao shook her head.
Xiao Liulang looked at the small dirt holes she had dug on the ground and pretended to believe her.
He took her small basket and carried it on his back.
In his previous life, this would probably be like carrying a girlfriend’s bag, right? He was not worried about being made fun of at all.
Gu Jiao found the idea quite amusing.
“Here.”
Xiao Liulang suddenly handed her something wrapped in parchment.
