Absolute Great Teacher
chapter-1225

Translator: Lordbluefire

The royal descendants who were qualified to come and spectate the Five Empires War Discussions naturally had quite a high status in their respective countries. Besides, their positions were won through strength or schemes. Hence, they were among the more outstanding ones.

Those unhappy princes and princesses immediately retracted their expressions and obediently knelt here. If it wasn’t for Sun Mo’s observation skills being astute enough, he wouldn’t have been able to spot anything.

The banquet began, beautiful dancers went up to perform, and delicacies after delicacies were also served up with fragrance permeating the atmosphere, whetting everyone’s appetite.

Half an hour later, a prince could no longer take it. But in such a setting, he also felt embarrassed to stand up and leave.

An hour later, a princess didn’t want to endure anymore. Her mind spun quickly, and she feigned discomfort with her body, fainting onto the ground.

“Quick, someone come and save her!”

The Qi Emperor instinctively called out. But after that, he hurriedly stopped his guards from rushing over. He looked at Sun Mo. “Great Teacher Sun, what’s your opinion?”

“Those who don’t want to take me on as a personal teacher can just leave!”

Sun Mo’s gaze swept past these people.

No one moved. When they thought of the benefits they could obtain from entering Sun Mo’s tutelage, these royal descendants decided to bear with it a little more.

(If this could be exchanged for a skyward spirit rune, it would be worth it even if I kneel for a day!)

Someone encouraged themselves.

Sun Mo didn’t mind. “There’s no need to move the fainted one away. Just let her continue lying there.”

The Qi Emperor was the host. If something happened to these people, his prestige would be affected. But since Sun Mo had spoken, he also felt embarrassed to reject.

Four hours later, the banquet finally ended.

“Your Majesty, I’ll take my leave first!”

Sun Mo rose. After clasping his hands toward the Qi Emperor and his queen, he directly left.

“Ah? What does he mean?”

“What should we do?”

“Teacher Sun, please wait!”

Those princes that were still kneeling felt that they were being ignored. Their tones and words involuntarily contained a hint of anger.

Bluntly speaking, they were still young and couldn’t control their emotions well. They also weren’t able to suffer any setbacks.

“I’m not satisfied with all of your performances, so I won’t accept any of you!”

After Sun Mo finished speaking, a light flashed and he stepped onto the air before vanishing into the distance.

“My heavens, it’s Meteoric Rise!”

All the great teachers were shocked.

This great teacher halo was extremely rare. If one didn’t have extraordinary imagination, it was impossible for them to comprehend it.

“Is he playing us?”

Some princes stood up. They rubbed their knees and their voices were filled with a hint of anger, sullenness, and reproach.

Some didn’t agree or complain, but they had similar looks of dissatisfaction on their faces.

Naturally, some were suspicious whether Sun Mo was probing them. But as time continued flowing and the banquet had completely concluded, Sun Mo still didn’t show himself, which caused the hearts of these kneeling people to fall into the valley.

“What’s Great Teacher Sun trying to do?”

The queen was speechless. If Sun Mo accepted these royal descendants, it would be an immense boost to his influence. Why didn’t he want them?

“Don’t use such low thoughts to suspect Beloved Subject Sun. He is someone standing far above the common crowd, a noble gentleman, someone that’s destined to become a Saint.”

The Qi Emperor stared at these princes. “Beloved Subject Sun didn’t accept you guys because all of your aptitudes are not high enough. Don’t grumble, just accept reality.”

“Why did he accept Xiang Zhao then?”

Wei Wu`an felt very wronged. He had truly wasted four hours of his time, kneeling for nothing.

The Qi Emperor didn’t explain, but an imposing voice actually rang out in Wei Wu`an’s ears.

“Are you teaching me how to do things?”

As the voice rang out, Sun Mo’s figure suddenly materialized here.

Right now, Sun Mo’s spirit qi was in abundance. He could use the Starflash Pearl to teleport any time he wanted to.

Swish~

Wei Wu`an’s face instantly lost all color.

“S…student doesn’t dare!”

Wei Wu`an lowered his head. He thought about it and knelt again.

“I did so earlier to test all of your temperaments. Sadly, only a few have passed!”

Sun Mo sighed. “I hope that you guys want to take me on as a teacher because you really want to learn from me, to become a better version of yourself instead of coveting spirit runes, cultivation arts, or social connections.”

The countenances of everyone became unsightly.

The princes that weren’t in the line of succession actually harbored some hope in their hearts. They wanted to rely on Sun Mo to gain the qualifications to seize the throne.

“Just disperse!”

Sun Mo waved his hands and walked toward Li Ziqi.

“Teacher, I’m truly sincere in wanting to learn from you!”

A skinny and weak-looking prince knelt. “In order to prove my sincerity, I’m willing to give up my identity and become a commoner!”

Hua~

This sentence moved many people.

Hence, Sun Mo turned and glanced over.

The data showed that he was a prince of the Jin Country, the son of a concubine that wasn’t doted upon by the emperor, but her mother hadn’t been banished to the cold palace.

“Have you thought about this clearly?”

Sun Mo asked again.

“Mn!”

The prince nodded.

“Kowtow and proceed with taking me on as your personal teacher then!”

Sun Mo wouldn’t make this prince give up his identity, but he wouldn’t reveal this now.

Among the crowd, six princes also stepped out and knelt.

“Teacher, we are also willing to give up our current statuses!”

“Good!”

Sun Mo laughed. He remembered the performances of these princes. With his Divine Sight, he could judge that they truly wanted to follow him to learn things.

The banquet ended. Sun Mo left under the escorts of his students.

In the span of a single night, Sun Mo had seven more students. However, these seven were different from Li Ziqi and the rest because they had more than one personal teacher.

Sun Mo would teach them skills and hone their characters. However, he wouldn’t give everything to them and treat them like his own children.

Truthfully speaking, as Sun Mo’s fame increased, these students that he accepted due to benefits would only increase in number.

When Sun Mo left Western Jin, Wei Wu`an came back to find him again with expensive gifts, seeking to take him on as a personal teacher.

This time around, Sun Mo didn’t reject him.

After that, Wei Wu`an escorted Sun Mo all the way until 30 miles away from Western Jing. However, his countenance was a little dark.

“Your Highness, I know that after yesterday night’s test, you no longer want to take Sun Mo on as your personal teacher. But have you thought of what would happen if Sun Mo didn’t accept you? Have you considered how impactful that would be to your prestige and reputation?”

The main commander spoke.

Sun Mo got famous due to his God Hands, and he had also taught Li Ziqi. In that case, everyone would surely feel that the students he rejected would be true trash instead of Sun Mo’s judgment being off.

The future emperor of Wei being rejected by Sun Mo? What would the current Wei Emperor think?

If that was the case, in addition to him not becoming the champion of the Five Empires War Discussion, the Wei Emperor might even abolish Wei Wu`an’s crown prince position under a fit of rage.

…

“Teacher, the princes and princesses of nine countries wanted to take you on as their teacher. If all of them became emperors, you would be the imperial preceptor of nine countries.”

Xianyu Wei felt some anticipation.

“Hehe, it’s best not to care about such an empty reputation!”

Sun Mo didn’t mind it. But why didn’t the mastermind appear yet?

“No matter what, you will definitely be the Great Chu’s imperial preceptor!”

Qin Yaoguang laughed.

…

On a mountain, two mysterious black-robed men stared at the departing Great Tang diplomatic group.

“Teacher, it’s time to act!”

Lu Feng advised.. They had to seize the Xia Emperor’s soul back no matter what, or their decades of effort and arrangement in the Great Xia would be destroyed completely.
