Chapter 660: Rookie Tournament (24)

Zhao Chi was escorted back quickly.

There was no pursuit along the way.

Although Zhao Chi's movement speed was quite ordinary, the four female spearmen flanked him left and right, front and back, pulling and supporting him to help him move faster.

With their help, Zhao Chi soon arrived before his territory stone.

"My lord, why don't you hide?"

One female soldier pointed further back.

"The treetop works too." Another female soldier pointed at the treetop: "If you can't get up, we can drag you up."

The third female soldier pointed at the ground: "Or how about we dig a hole and have my lord squat inside?"

Zhao Chi couldn't listen to any more.

He quickly stopped them before the fourth female soldier could speak.

"No need, I'll just stay here. Even if I hide, if the enemy shatters the World Stone, we still lose."

"But at least you won't feel pain." The fourth female soldier blurted out.

Zhao Chi fell silent.

How thoughtful — just like Gu Qing and the others.

But he shook his head: "No need. At least I'm still a combatant. I can hold out for a while. Pain of flesh is nothing; true pain is defeat."

The female soldiers' eyes lit up: "Wow~ my lord, what you said is so philosophical."

Zhao Chi felt a bit embarrassed.

These female soldiers were indeed loyal and sincere.

They just hadn't been educated — their cultural studies seemed rather lacking?

After the battle ends, I'll buy a private school blueprint at the exchange and let them attend classes.

But at this stage, construction is still the priority. Once things develop later, we can consider this aspect then.

After all, this kind of cultural knowledge is soft power and doesn't help combat directly.

Besides, there isn't any particularly good teacher candidate right now.

Zhao Chi himself could take the role, but he doesn't have much time.

Besides himself, Gu Qing could also do it.

Gu Qing is a born heroine, with a great deal of innate knowledge in her head — perfectly capable of teaching these clueless female villagers.

But Gu Qing's personality isn't quite suited for it.

He's afraid that once she starts teaching, she'll get into bedroom arts.

Given her personality and ways, the probability is extremely high.

If she were to teach Tang Ruan and Qi Yue privately, that would actually be quite nice.

The two little girls' knowledge in this area was really all imparted by Gu Qing.

Of course, Gu Qing only counts as imparting knowledge in that area.
