In the history of the Blue Planet, the battle between the imperial authority and the divine authority had never stopped.
To put it bluntly, wasn't it still a dispute over benefits?
In the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, the divine authority had fallen, and the authority of teachers was greater. They had the powerful might to suppress the imperial authority.
Because of the existence of spirit qi, the people of the Nine Provinces could cultivate and produce great teachers. And these people were all taught by great teachers.
Regardless of whether ordinary people were willing to admit it or not, this world was controlled in the hands of those with power.
And the power of these people came from great teachers.
They had some accomplishments in their studies and entered the imperial court, becoming high officials. Even if they were illiterate, as long as they were literate, they would be able to become low-level officials in government offices or shopkeepers.
The existence of the Saint Gate was to maintain the relationship of 'Teacher for a Day, Father for Life', making it a golden rule that no one could go against.
Because of this, the authority of teachers was like an invisible net that enveloped the Nine Provinces, extending its tentacles to every corner of the country.
Sun Mo had just come to the Nine Provinces and didn't understand. Why could a teacher have such a high status?
As he continued to assimilate and understand, he understood.
The great teachers of the Nine Provinces still relied on knowledge and power as their foundation.
They hold all the knowledge.
If ordinary people wanted to live a good life, they could only follow a great teacher and learn a skill. By doing so, they would naturally become one of them.
There was also the existence of the Darkness Continent. Only great teachers had the ability to analyze the unknown knowledge. Otherwise, even if they dug out ancient divine skills from ruins, it would be useless if no one could understand the ancient words.
After that, there was martial strength!
Great teachers might not be the best at fighting, but the ones who were the best were all taught by them.
No matter how amazing a genius was, it was impossible for them to be born with knowledge.
What was the responsibility of a teacher?
It was to let them not continue to commit the mistakes of their predecessors. They should be able to sprint on the right path until they succeeded.
It was like those top-notch coaches in the football world who had won championships. Some of them weren't even professional players, or they were completely unknown when they were players.
For example, Mourinho! For example, Guardiola!
This model, after thousands of years of operation and development, had become very mature and had completely become a huge monster.
To put it bluntly, even those emperors were taught by famous teachers. It was just that when they sat on the throne, their interests would clash with the authority of a teacher.
However, the Emperor could not remove the authority of teachers, because if he wanted to rule the country, he needed scholars, and the knowledge of scholars came from famous teachers.
Therefore, in the Nine States, the Saints were the heavens.
And Second Sage was only a step away from this highest realm!
That was why Zhou Xingtong's arrogance wasn't without reason. After all, he wasn't the son of a Grand Scholar, but rather a high and mighty son of a Saint.
"Zhou shi, you've misunderstood me. I'm not talking about treating your grandson!"
After Sun Mo spoke, the old butler jumped up and was like an old dog that was crazily biting!
"Then what do you mean? Are you making fun of my master? "
Zhou Xingtong's expression sank. If Sun Mo was toying with him, he would let Sun Mo understand how terrifying it was to offend a second-generation saint.
"I just have a suggestion!"
Sun Mo smiled faintly.
"Speak!"
Zhou Xingtong couldn't even be bothered to use the word 'please speak'. He had no manners at all.
"Although I haven't checked your grandson's body, I'm willing to give it a try and do my best to save him. But after I succeed, I hope that you can tell Second Sage Zhou to apologize to my disciple and say that he made a mistake in judgment and also apologize for the harm he brought to her."
Sun Mo's voice was very calm, like he was discussing where to go for lunch with a friend.
However, in the ears of the spectators, it was like a sudden clap of thunder, causing them to be dumbfounded.
What did Sun Mo say?
Getting a secondary saint to apologize?
Was his brain spoiled?
As the amount of information in this sentence was too shocking, for a time, the entire top floor of the Swallow Phoenix Brothel fell silent as if it had died.
The old butler's reaction was the fastest. He had long since wanted nothing more than for Sun Mo to die. Now that he saw that Sun Mo was courting death, the wild joy in his heart made him want nothing more than to call all his mistresses over and have a grand celebration every night. However, on his face, he had to show the grief and indignation of a subject dying in humiliation.
"Impudent!"
"Audacious!"
"Ridiculous!"
The old butler's voice got louder and louder, as if his vocal cords were about to be torn apart. "Who do you think you are? You actually dare to ask our clan's saint to apologize to a little girl? Aren't you afraid that your lifespan will be shortened? "
Tong Xugao was dumbfounded. He had been a great teacher for close to 200 years, but this was the first time he had heard such words. A tremor and nervousness grew in his chest.
Asking a saint to apologize?
How could such words be said?
In fact, in the eyes of great teachers, their teachers were the heavens. Although they might make mistakes, asking them to apologize? They didn't dare to have such thoughts, nor should they.
This was simply disgraceful!
Zhou Xingtong was so angry that he couldn't speak. His body trembled as he pointed at Sun Mo, wanting nothing more than to use his teeth to tear Sun Mo apart and eat him up.
This was blasphemy, this was an insult, this was a stain and provocation to the Zhou Clan's glory.
Sun Mo deserved to die!
The Calabash Brothers were also stunned, especially the two barbarians, Xianyu Wei and Helian Beifang.
Although they had a clear line between love and hate and hated the Zhou Clan, they had never thought of asking Secondary Saint Zhou to apologize.
This... this was simply courting death!
After Li Ziqi recovered from her shock, her chest was filled with strong feelings of worship and admiration. There was also an indescribable feeling.
(Teacher is actually asking a secondary saint to apologize for me?)
(This will definitely offend him to death.)
(You mustn't!)
"Teacher!"
Li Ziqi rushed out and stood next to Sun Mo. She directly bowed toward Zhou Xingtong and explained respectfully, "Teacher Zhou, please forgive me. My teacher drank too much."
"Are these words something you can say after drinking too much?"
The old butler was overbearing.
"Teacher, quickly... explain a little. It's not worth it for me."
Li Ziqi secretly tugged at Sun Mo's sleeves. She had wanted him to apologize, but after thinking about her teacher's character, she knew that it was impossible for him to do so. Hence, she changed it to an explanation.
"Everyone, breaking the 1-star great teacher examination record at the age of 15, becoming the youngest great teacher in history. Is such a student considered outstanding?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
Everyone fell silent. Of course it was considered outstanding, and it was at the genius level.
If this was their child, even the poorest parents would think of ways to kill a nian to celebrate.
"Since Ziqi is very outstanding, then the secondary saint's judgment back then was wrong. Is there anything wrong with apologizing for one's own mistakes?"
Sun Mo asked again.
Everyone was still silent.
It wasn't a problem to apologize, but the problem was that this was a secondary saint!
"Sun Mo, do you know that since ancient times, because of earthquakes, floods, pests, and famines, emperors would occasionally issue self-condemnation edicts, admitting that they were lacking in moral integrity, causing the heavens to punish them? However, saints have never issued self-condemnation edicts?"
Zhou Xingtong glared at Sun Mo. "Because the words of saints are all great wisdom and logic!"
"You've said it yourself. I acknowledge that saints don't apologize, but your father isn't one. Otherwise, why would he be called secondary saint Zhou?"
At the end, Sun Mo intentionally emphasized the words' secondary saint Zhou '.
"Impressive!"
Tantai Yutang's eyes were wide open. He kept feeling that his teacher was different from many people and would occasionally say shocking words. However, he didn't expect him to be so different from the masses.
"Teacher is so domineering!"
Qin Yaoguang's eyes were filled with splendor.
It wasn't a loss to acknowledge this teacher.
"Teacher... Teacher Sun, can you speak a little less?"
Tong Xugao smiled bitterly.
"Lad, say it one more time if you have the guts!"
The spirit qi on Zhou Xingtong's body was already brewing like a storm.
"There's a first time for everything in the world. Why don't we let secondary saint Zhou be the first person to apologize to?"
Sun Mo suggested, "In the history books compiled by future generations, there will definitely be a positive evaluation, saying that secondary saint Zhou dares to face himself squarely."
Was Sun Mo panicking?
Actually, he wasn't. He knew that what he was doing was a little crazy, but to speak the truth, he wasn't someone from the Nine Provinces and didn't have much respect for the title of secondary saint.
It was like modern people. Let alone scolding leaders on the internet, even if you slandered a few heads of a local bureau, you might be arrested from another province.
You'd be locked in a small black room for 15 days plus a fine of a few thousand.
But scolding Chuanpu and Fatty Xin would definitely be fine.
This was Sun Mo's current state of mind.
If he was a native, he definitely wouldn't dare to be so rash.
"Bullsh * t, wouldn't that be a stink for 10,000 years?"
After the old butler said that, he fiercely slapped himself. "I've sinned, I've sinned. I didn't mean to offend the old saint!"
"This old man is so ruthless. He's still making things difficult for Teacher even at this time!"
Jiang Leng was very angry.
"Find a chance to kill him!"
Tantai Yutang suggested.
Boom!
Zhou Xingtong made a move, but just when his palm slapped before Sun Mo, it was stopped by Tong Xugao.
"Teacher Tong, you want to become enemies with my Zhou Clan?"
Zhou Xingtong bellowed.
Tong Xugao smiled bitterly and then looked at Sun Mo. After hesitating for a while, he helplessly shook his head. "Teacher Zhou, your clan is in the wrong in this matter."
"You..."
Zhou Xingtong was surprised.
What kind of charm did this Sun Mo have? To think that a 7-star great teacher would offend a secondary saint for him!
Zhou Xingtong's gaze subconsciously landed on the little book in Tong Xugao's hand.
Was this Sun Mo using his knowledge to convince him?
"Beating someone up just because you can't win?"
Sun Mo mocked.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Xingtong didn't want to waste his breath. In any case, this matter wasn't over yet.
The old butler didn't leave immediately. Instead, he came to Sun Mo's side and mocked in a low voice, "Sun Mo, you're dead for sure. Don't worry, I'll go to your grave every Qingming Festival and have a good drink with you. Then, I'll poop for you!"
"You..."
When Li Ziqi heard this, she was so angry that her face turned pale. She wanted to kill someone on the spot.
Sun Mo stopped the little sunny egg. Looking at the old butler's swollen appearance, he smiled. "It's a pity that you won't have a chance because you're going to die now."
"I'm going to die? Haha, how can I die? Do you dare to beat me to death? "
The old butler mocked.
Sun Mo didn't bother with this old dog. He looked at Zhou Xingtong and kindly reminded him, "It's time for the Zhou Clan's conduct to be rectified."
Zhou Xingtong ignored him.
Sun Mo's lips twitched. It seemed that he could only use his trump card.
"Zhou Xingtong, have you been feeling unwell recently?"
The moment Sun Mo said this, Zhou Xingtong's body trembled fiercely.
