Absolute Great Teacher
chapter-41

Lu Zhiruo’s eyes instantly gleamed. She couldn’t help but reach out and grab onto Sun Mo’s clothes.

Ding!

+20 favorable impression points from Lu Zhiruo.

Prestige Connection with Lu Zhiruo: Neutral (38/100).

Li Ziqi stood behind Sun Mo, looking at his broad back that seemed like a tall mountain. It blocked off Xu Shaoyuan’s threatening face, and a strong sense of security gushed toward her.

Li Ziqi had felt a little worried prior to this. After all, Sun Mo was too young and could be lacking in his teaching capabilities. However, at this moment, she knew that she had made the best decision in her life.

Ding!

+15 favorable impression points from Li Ziqi.

Prestige Connection with Li Ziqi: Neutral (50/100).

Xu Shaoyuan’s countenance was grim, and his body inclined forward slightly. He stared at Sun Mo like a majestic lion who was about to swing out its sharp claws and tear its prey.

Sun Mo wasn’t scared and didn’t back off at all.

“Good! Very good!” Xu Shaoyuan patted Sun Mo’s shoulder while forcing a smile. “You’re very good!”

Pa!

Sun Mo slapped away Xu Shaoyuan’s hand. “You don’t have to tell me that. I know that I’m very good!”

Ssss!

Everyone drew in a cold gasp. This time around, even the calm Liu Mubai felt a little astonished. Sun Mo’s actions were surely a provocation!

Gu Xiuxun backed off one step, assessing Sun Mo seriously. An Xinhui’s fiance was amazing. To think that he would dare to go against a 2-star great teacher? Did he not know how the word ‘death’ was written?

Both Zhang Sheng and Yuan Feng were so excited their blood vessels were going to erupt. They couldn’t wait to see Xu Shaoyun slap Sun Mo into a mush.

“Student Ziqi, I hope that you’ll gain achievements under Sun Mo’s teachings!”

After Xu Shaoyuan finished his words, he turned and left. However, people who knew his temper would know that Sun Mo would be given a hard time in the future.

Great teachers wanted face as well. It’d be a complete humiliation to Xu Shaoyuan if he didn’t get Sun Mo to kneel and call him ‘father’ before quitting.

He had personally gone to recruit a student but ended up getting rejected. It’d be fine if the student followed a great teacher of the same rank as him but to think that it was an intern teacher. If word of this were to spread, Xu Shaoyuan would be better off dead. It was utter humiliation.

At this moment, Xu Shaoyuan hated himself for being too rash and hadn’t done any probings in advance.

This wasn’t Xu Shaoyuan’s fault either. There weren’t that many 2-star great teachers in Jinling City. With his status, he’d be highly revered no matter where he went.

Ever since he gained the title of a 1-star great teacher, he had been revered by others. That led to his pride swelling up.

Liu Mubai left. He didn’t care to say goodbye to Sun Mo. As for Li Ziqi, although she had a respectable identity, he decided to give up on her.

“Sun Mo…”

Gu Xiuxun had just called out when she was interrupted by Sun Mo.

“Why aren’t you leaving? Are you planning to get me to treat you to lunch?”

Sun Mo wasn’t feeling happy as he had offended a 2-star great teacher out of nowhere. However, he wasn’t afraid of Xu Shaoyuan’s revenge. With a blade in his hand and courage within him, there was nothing he was afraid of.

Gu Xiuxun’s countenance stiffened up slightly. She didn’t want to pay any heed to Sun Mo, but she couldn’t just speak to Li Ziqi directly. It’d make her out to appear too material. That was why she had taken an indirect approach to this; however, she didn’t expect Sun Mo to be so spiteful.

“I can be the one treating you!”

Gu Xiuxun wore a beautiful smile on her face. She even ran her hand through her beautiful black hair, giving off a feminine and alluring vibe.

Gu Xiuxun could make use of her body language to strengthen the impact of her words.

“Not free! Not hungry! Goodbye!”

Sun Mo gave three replies in succession and then left.

Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo exchanged a glance and then immediately went after Sun Mo, following behind him.

“He’s too repulsive. Who does he think he is?”

Yuan Feng was enraged. He wanted to talk to Gu Xiuxun but was hesitant and didn’t dare to do so.

“This Sun Mo is too arrogant!” Zhang Sheng said. He then put up what he thought was his most handsome smile as he looked toward Gu Xiuxun. “Teacher Gu, don’t mind him. One day, there’ll be someone teaching Sun Mo a lesson for being so arrogant.”

“En!”

Gu Xiuxun answered half-absently, but her gaze was on Sun Mo’s back. An indescribable feeling was stuck in her chest.

As the top beauty of the Myriad Daos Academy, Gu Xiuxun was used to having men trying to get into her good books. It was a very refreshing feeling to be suddenly rejected by Sun Mo openly in public.

“Those onlookers must be laughing at me, right? Especially those women who are jealous of me and the men whom I’ve rejected. They must be mocking and slandering me behind my back.”

At the thought of this, Gu Xiuxun suddenly felt a little excited.

“Teacher Gu, do you have time in the afternoon? Why don’t we have lunch together? We can talk about teaching over the meal as well.”

Zhang Sheng appeared to be saying this very casually, but he was feeling extremely nervous. He kept on wishing in his heart that she would agree.

“Not free! Not hungry! Goodbye!”

Gu Xiuxun gave the same reply Sun Mo had given her, and she realized that these three lines were very impactful. She could consider using them to reject those detestable suiters.

If the invitation was from Liu Mubai, Gu Xiuxun would definitely accept it. But who was Zhang Sheng? Even if he managed to stay in the school, they’d still be from different worlds.

“Urgh!”

Hearing these three short replies, Zhang Shen was first stunned and then his countenance turned grim. This was absurd, really absurd.

(Bitch, you’re looking down on me? One day, I’ll get you to kneel and lick my shoes!”)

Zhang Sheng stared at Gu Xiuxun’s beautiful figure and swore in his heart.

“Sigh!”

Yuan Feng sighed. As expected, it was impossible to successfully invite Gu Xiuxun. However, he then felt a little indignant. It was because Gu Xiuxun had invited Sun Mo and was also rejected rudely…

“Who is Sun Mo to do that?”

Yuan Feng couldn’t understand. In his opinion, that guy who sponged off a woman was worse than himself. That was right. It must be because of Li Ziqi that Gu Xiuxun would take the initiative to invite him. Otherwise, how could he possibly have that kind of charm?

However, at the thought of Li Ziqi acknowledging Sun Mo as her teacher, Yuan Feng sank into a deep bout of envy once again. Who was Sun Mo to be so privileged? Did he have a big p*nis?

…

In the office of the teaching building.

Since many teachers had arranged for students to keep watch at the school’s entrance, everyone soon received news that Li Ziqi had come.

“She should have gone to the Myriad Daos Academy. Why did she come to our school?”

Zhou Shanyi couldn’t understand. Given the current teaching capabilities and future prospects, the Myriad Daos Academy, which was a notch higher than the Central Province Academy, would be the top pick for those influential people.

“She must be here to play?”

Someone spoke up, not feeling that their school would be able to attract Li Ziqi.

“Could it be that there’s a teacher here that Li Ziqi would like to learn from?” Lian Zheng guessed.

It was very common in the Central Province that students would join a certain school for the sake of a particular great teacher. This was the great attraction that great teachers had. Therefore, when the opportunity arose, all schools would go all-out to fight for the great teachers, even forking out extremely high salaries.

Just as the teachers were discussing amongst themselves, Jiang Yongnian entered hurriedly.

“Why are you so happy? Could it be that you’ve managed to recruit Li Ziqi?”

Zhou Shanyi teased.

“I know my own worth well!” Jiang Yongnian rolled his eyes. He wasn’t willing to give up on Li Ziqi. After all, she had a very distinguished status. However, he hadn’t expected to have come across a good show. “Guess what did I see just now?”

“What is it?”

Zhou Shanyi sipped on his tea slowly.

“Xu Shaoyuan went to recruit Li Ziqi but was rejected.”

Jiang Yongnian had never liked Xu Shaoyuan who was merely a 2-star great teacher. He would be able to reach 2-star very soon himself. So, seeing Xu Shaoyuan in a bad plight felt as comfortable as if he was eating chilled watermelon on the hottest day of the year.

“Isn’t that normal?”

Lian Zheng was speechless. It would be surprising if Xu Shaoyuan were to succeed.

“No, the reason Li Ziqi rejected him was because she has already acknowledged a teacher.”

Jiang Yongnian’s words caused the other teachers who hadn’t been paying attention to stop their work and look over.

“Who is it? Is it Teacher Jin Mujie? No, a 3-star great teacher’s attraction is probably still not enough?”

“It can’t be Headmaster An, right?”

“I wonder who will have the good fortune of taking Li Ziqi as their disciple!”

The group of teachers chatted enthusiastically, with some of them clearly sounding envious.

“Don’t keep us in suspense. Quickly tell us!” Zhou Shanyi urged.

“It’s Sun Mo!” Jiang Yongnian revealed.

The moment he said this, it was as if a freezing wind from the north had run through the entire office, freezing it up in ice. All the teachers were speechless as they looked at Jiang Yongnian. Their gazes then turned to that of perplexity, followed by doubt.

“Tsk, you’re kidding, right?”

Zhou Shanyi drank his tea while the others went back to their work.

“Hey, I’m not lying. It’s true. I saw it with my own eyes.”

Jiang Yongnian had witnessed the entire process in which Xu Shaoyuan had been rejected. As he was a 1-star great teacher, his ears were sharper, so he had not missed out anything from their conversation at all.

“Are you sure? That Sun Mo? Why is it him?”

Lian Zheng furrowed his brows so tightly that creases were formed on his forehead.

“How would I know?” Jiang Yongnian shrugged. “Anyway, Xu Shaoyuan has gotten a great humiliation this time around.”

Some of the teachers who didn’t like Xu Shaoyuan also broke out into stifled laughter.

“Teacher Jiang, what happened? Can you tell us in greater detail?”

Zhou Lin, who was passing by, entered when she heard the commotion in the office. After hearing Jiang Yongnian’s elaboration of the entire story, she immediately ran to look for Gu Xiuxun to ascertain if it was true

After ascertaining the story, Zhou Lin anxiously dashed into the headmaster office.

“Eldest Miss, you mustn’t let Sun Mo act so recklessly anymore!”

Zhou Lin was very anxious.

“What’s the matter this time around?” An Xinhui asked, feeling perplexed.

“Li Ziqi has acknowledged him as her teacher”

Zhou Lin’s countenance was grim. It wasn’t anything serious that Sun Mo had offended Xu Shaoyuan. However, the sky would collapse if Li Ziqi’s aunt were to be infuriated and come charging over.

“Hmmm?”

Only

Even An Xinhui, who had trained her heart to remain calm regardless of the situation, appeared surprised. To think that her childhood sweetheart had done such a great thing? If news of this were to spread out, a great commotion would break out across the entire Jinling City!

“Eldest Miss, the matter with Xuanyuan Po aside, we must stop Li Ziqi from acknowledging Sun Mo as her teacher.”

Zhou Lin insisted.

Sun Mo had neither status nor capabilities. Regardless if Li Ziqi was sincere on wanting Sun Mo as her teacher or if she had been duped by his sweet talk, Sun Mo would suffer if Li Ziqi’s aunt were to find out about this. When that happened, even the Central Province Academy might be implicated as well.

The Central Province Academy was clearly in the midst of a raging storm and couldn’t afford to take on any additional turbulences.

“I understand. You can take your leave!”

An Xinhui furrowed her brows tightly, her expression turning a lot more solemn.

“Should I call Sun Mo here and so that you can talk to him personally about this?” Zhou Lin suggested.
