Chapter 1095: Teacher Sun, I Wish To Join Your Great Teacher Circle!

Sun Mo toured the streets, but he didn’t buy any luxurious residence.

He still felt reluctant to spend so extravagantly and waste money!

After all, he was very comfortable in his current villa. It was also very convenient for him to teach classes, rest, and even head to the Wind King Divine Hall and Greenhaze Forest.

Besides, rich people would only purchase more houses to keep their mistresses. Sun Mo was someone single, and he didn’t have such needs.

A busy winter vacation ended just like that.

Sun Mo had planned to rest, but he had to teach his students every day. Some of the great teachers in his school also didn’t return home during the holidays. Rather, they stayed in school to further their own learning.

If everyone had a problem, they would come and consult Sun Mo.

Although he hadn’t reached the stage where everyone felt a deep reverence for him, whenever everyone sincerely visited and consulted him, Sun Mo also felt embarrassed to reject them.

Even if he just spent an hour interacting with everyone, there were simply too many great teachers who chose to stay behind, and they took up a large amount of Sun Mo’s time.

Naturally, the benefit was that he could obtain a large number of favorable impression points.

This could also prove that his reputation as a saint candidate was well deserved.

After the new year, many wealthy merchants, nobles, and high officials in Jinling came to the Central Province Academy to visit An Xinhui and Sun Mo under the pretext of wishing them a happy new year.

Naturally, their target was Sun Mo, but An Xinhui was after all the headmaster and Sun Mo’s fiance. If they didn’t mention her name, their purposes would be too clear.

These people from the upper society of Jinling not only wished to see the extremely popular rising star, but they also wanted him to accept their children as his personal students.

These large clans didn’t lack money and had lived comfortably for many generations. Hence, they had many offspring.

If one of their children could enter Sun Mo’s tutelage, it would be a relatively good investment.

Hence, they prepared ample and generous payment.

The payment wasn’t a strip of waxed meat, or a chicken and a flask of wine. Rather, it was property deeds, land deeds, fields, etc.

(What? You are reluctant to pay? Then why do you even want your children to take Sun Mo as a teacher?)

Even those with expensive gifts were filled with trepidation as they were deeply afraid that Sun Mo wouldn’t accept their children.

The truth proved that Sun Mo truly had no regard for such things in his eyes.

Let alone Sun Mo, even An Xinhui didn’t accept a single one.

“This fellow truly doesn’t know the ways of the world!”

After the prefectural magistrate of Jinling got rejected, he immediately started to grumble and left the school.

In the great teacher world, there was a hidden rule. Usually, the great teachers would judge a student’s potential when recruiting a personal student, but they would still recruit some personal students of poorer potential but had powerful family backgrounds.

The great teachers needed money for research, learning, and touring the Nine Provinces, but they didn’t do business. So, how did they get the money?

They naturally obtained the money from the parents of these students.

And the parents of the students could ‘use’ the fame of the great teacher as well. After all, regardless of the eras, graduates from certain famous schools and the personal students of certain great teachers would easily earn face for their respective clans.

However, Sun Mo didn’t act according to logic. He didn’t accept any students.

Many people were standing here, and they were all waiting to pay a visit to Sun Mo. But after the prefectural magistrate finished speaking, he discovered that no one agreed with him. Even for the two unlucky others, who had also been rejected, although they had a look of anger and resentment on their faces, they didn’t grumble at all.

“Oh no!”

Since this man could become the prefectural magistrate of Jinling, he naturally wasn’t a fool. He immediately realized what was going on.

He had said something wrong.

Sun Mo’s current prestige had reached the point where no one would dare to speak ill of him in public places.

Pak!

The prefectural magistrate lifted his hand and slapped his son who was beside him.

“You are trash. You better study well after we return and improve yourself. If you still fail to enter Great Teacher Sun’s tutelage next year, I will expel you from the family. No, I will directly beat you to death!”

The magistrate scolded.

He had to say something to try and save the situation caused by his earlier words.

“Ah?”

The youth had a dumbstruck look on his face. After that, he started crying. “Father, you should just beat me to death now. Even the eldest personal student of Great Teacher Sun can become my teacher. How would I ever be qualified to be his personal student?”

The number of high officials who got rejected grew gradually.

This was especially so when the holidays were nearing their end. They continued to increase in batches.

This was because Sun Mo’s outstanding performance in the 4-stars great teacher examination had spread far and wide. This was especially so for the sentence he had used to reply to the Ancient Wind King. It was simply amazing.

“Our journey is the great ocean of stars!”

It was unknown how many young great teachers felt their hearts stirring. This also caused many people, who were initially discouraged, to feel their spirits surging once more. It reignited their will to explore their own ocean and pursue their own stars!

When spring came, the content of the 5-stars great teacher examination was announced by the Saint Gate.

Every 4-stars great teacher had to first hunt 10 dark great teachers. After that, the number of their great teacher halos had to be verified, and they had to undertake a test to prove their grandmaster-level expertise of a secondary occupation. After passing, they would then become 5-stars great teachers.

This exam would take around three years.

Those who knew some secrets understood that the Saint Gate and the Dark Dawn were clashing openly, wanting to suppress each other.

Another month had passed. Sun Mo made his preparations and was ready for a journey.

“Teacher, bring me along!”

Qin Yaoguang tugged on Sun Mo’s arm and was acting coquettishly as she wept.

Ying Baiwu also had a look of resentment on her face because she couldn’t go.

“No way. You guys should stay here and work hard. I’ll check on your homework once I’m back.”

Sun Mo rejected.

“In that case, why can my two other senior martial sisters go?” Qin Yaoguang was unconvinced. “I can understand because Ziqi has to be your assistant. But what about Senior Martial Sister Zhiruo?”

Qin Yaoguang mentally mused that Lu Zhiruo was a fool. What could she do?

(Even when it comes to serving tea and waiting on people, her actions are not as nimble as mine.)

“Don’t act willfully and make a scene!”

Sun Mo put on a stern expression. (The papaya girl is my lucky mascot, but can I even tell you this?)

With regard to the students, Sun Mo could still use his status to suppress them. But as for An Xinhui and the others, he couldn’t do the same.

Mei Ziyu, Gu Xiuxun, Murong Mingyue, and Jin Mujie—they all wanted to go!

“If you guys all go, what about your official duties at school?”

Sun Mo frowned.

“I will get Teacher Yue to take over. Also, with Secondary Saint Shi here, we don’t need to worry!”

This trip to headhunt prospective talents would be filled with difficulties. As the headmaster, how could An Xinhui hide in the school and reap what she had not sown? Moreover, she also wanted to prove herself.

If not, if this continued, she would be nothing but a flower vase in the heart of her childhood sweetheart.

On a sunny afternoon, the group set off. After that, Sun Mo discovered to his shock that the Yin Aura was excessively heavy in this group.

Other than him, there were no other males at all!

A moment later, Sun Mo felt awkward.

(If it wasn’t for you guys traveling so slowly, I would have long since reached Liaojing and experienced the nightlife there.)

Sun Mo wanted to leave first using Little Silver, but things would be too awkward.

“Why are you in such a hurry? It’s merely a ten-day journey!”

Gu Xiuxun’s lips twitched. She wanted to slowly enjoy the journey and take in all the sights along the way.

The group first took a ship that was heading to Gourd Island. After they reached it, they had to ride on horses along the northern ocean’s shoreline before they could reach Liaojing.

The masochist had done her research. There were several fun places on the way there!

“Yeah, you have been so busy for such a long time. You should take this chance and have a good rest.”

Mei Ziyu felt heartache for Sun Mo.

An Xinhui truly treated him like a beast of burden.

One could say that the reason the Central Province Academy could reach this level was all due to Sun Mo.

Jin Mujie covered her mouth and smiled secretly as she looked at these people.

Sun Mo was a strapping young lad of 20 plus years old. There were so many beautiful great teachers here, but he could only watch and couldn’t eat them. How unbearable must that be?

(It’s so rare to see someone like Sun Mo who is so clean-living and honest! It’s a pity that I’m too old, or I might have tried to woo him.)

If Sun Mo heard Jin Mujie’s silent musings, he would surely reply like this…

(I don’t mind even if you are older. Come at me!)

Truthfully speaking, Jin Mujie who exuded the charm of a mature woman was the one who possessed the ‘greatest’ killing prowess among these women.

After all, she was truly too huge.

On the deck of the ship, the sounds of laughter could be heard. This seemingly caused the footsteps of time to slow down as though it was afraid to disturb the tranquility of the moment.

During the night, the moon was high up in the sky, casting its pale white light down.

Sun Mo was clad in a set of long robes. He stood at the head of the ship with his hands behind his back, allowing the feeling of the cool night wind to blow across his face.

He felt that right now, he was like an immortal.

“It’s a pity we don’t have a mobile phone or we could have taken a lot of selfies.”

Sun Mo found this very regretful.

Afterward, he felt like reciting a poem to express his mood. But after thinking hard for a long time, there were only Li Duwang’s poems in his mind. He decided not to recite them as it would only defile the beautiful scene here.

(Why don’t I just copy one?)

“Teacher Sun!”

A light shout interrupted Sun Mo’s thoughts.

“Teacher Jin!” Sun Mo smiled. “You are not playing mahjong anymore?”

“Nope, that two disciples of yours are monsters, they already won a year’s worth of salary from us.”

Jin Mujie sighed.

The days on the ship were filled with boredom. This was why everyone wanted to play cards to while the time away. However, Sun Mo didn’t know how to play and didn’t find them fun either. Hence, he ‘invented’ mahjong.

You don’t say, but this game depended on luck and calculation. It was much more interesting compared to the card game they were playing.

When the few female great teachers tried it, they immediately fell in love with it. Hence, they kept playing.

Li Ziqi was as expected of someone with Retentive Memory. That, in addition to her outstanding calculation abilities, her number of victories far exceeded the others in just a mere half a day.

Naturally, this had something to do with the fact that everyone felt embarrassed to win Sun Mo’s student’s money.

It was one thing that Li Ziqi was strong. This could be considered as her being talented. But as for Lu Zhiruo, her luck was so strong that it was terrifying. Either she didn’t win or she would win a big one that squeezed everyone dry of their chips!

The money the little sunny egg earned after a hard day of effort was lost to the papaya girl in a round of mahjong after dinner.

“Hehe!”

Sun Mo also played a few rounds with his students before quitting.

There was no solution because he simply couldn’t win.

He played just for fun and didn’t want to waste his brainpower in calculation. But he couldn’t win if he didn’t calculate. Hence, he could only give up.

Jin Mujie no longer spoke. Her arms rested on the railings as she stared at the scenery in the distance.

Sun Mo also fell silent.

“Why are you in a daze? Quickly go and flirt with her?”

The system was speechless. “Someone like you will simply drive the Cupid mad. The chance is already here, but you are useless!”

“Teacher Sun, I dispersed my great teacher circle!”

Jin Mujie suddenly spoke.

“Why?” Sun Mo was astonished. “Did you lack money?”

That shouldn’t be the case. Given the income of 4-stars great teachers, it wouldn’t be a problem to support an ordinary great teacher circle.

Jin Mujie was a little depressed and frustrated. (What thought process is this? I really have no way to continue the conversation! Shouldn’t you be very happy and warmly invite me to join your great teacher circle instead? Forget it! I’ll just ask!)

Hence, Jin Mujie turned her head and looked at Sun Mo. “Teacher Sun, I wish to join your great teacher circle!”

Huh?”

Sun Mo was stunned.

(Great teacher circle?)

(Do I have one?)
