Also known as Xiucai Huang or Master Huang, he is one of the three Xiucai private school teachers in Lingchuan County. He was Gu Tongsheng's classmate and close friend, and Gu Qingyan's father was also educated at Huang's private school. Scholar Huang had previously come to the village to pay respects to Gu Tongsheng. The old village chief recommended him as the cheapest option, noting that out of respect for Gu Qingyan's father, Master Huang would surely give him some consideration. However, when Gu Qingyan and the old village chief visited, the gatekeeper claimed Scholar Huang was out visiting a friend and would not be back for three to seven days. Gu Qingyan correctly deduced that Scholar Huang was actually home but deliberately avoiding them, likely due to Li Jingtian's badmouthing. Despite refusing to see Gu Qingyan in person, the system still provided Gu Qingyan with Scholar Huang's teachings when he checked in.
