An Unusual Scholar and Progress Bar

Outside the city gate, there was an endless stream of people. From time to time, people would go in and out. Before Xu Bai could get close, he saw that people had already gathered at the city gate.

Originally, a place like the city gate should have the function of circulation, but at this moment, the city gate seemed to be congested.

Xu Bai could hear the noise of the crowd from time to time. He heard some of it and walked closer to see what was going on through the gaps in the crowd.

A scholar dressed in ordinary clothes was currently lying on the ground with two tattered books in his hands. He could not help but cry. In front of this scholar was a wealthy middle-aged man dressed in silk.

When Xu Bai got closer, he could hear the scholar's cries.

"You're too unreasonable. I worked part-time at your house so that I could eat while I was studying."
