After settling Tong Xugao, Sun Mo could return to school with a peace of mind.
As for the mission of saving Zhou Wenbin and getting Zhou Xingtong to contribute favorable impression points, Sun Mo couldn't be bothered to do it.
One had to be persistent!
He mustn't lose his personality just because of a few favorable impression points.
If Zhou Xingtong didn't agree to let Secondary Saint Zhou apologize, then Secondary Saint Zhou shouldn't come and bother him.
"Teacher, is it alright for us to poach people from the Black-White Academy?"
Li Ziqi was a little worried.
Right now, Secondary Saint Shi was also from this famous school. This wasn't just poaching, it was simply poaching the wall until it collapsed.
In the end, you did it again the second year?
Do you really think that the Black-White Academy is made of mud?
"I'm also very helpless!"
Sun Mo spread his hands.
"I can only say that Teacher's charm is too great."
Lu Zhiruo giggled and hugged Sun Mo's arm. "There are still too few high-star great teachers in our school. Why don't we headhunt people from the Nine Greats during this year's recruitment season?"
"Right, let's go to the Skyraise Academy!"
After the papaya girl said that, the gazes of others turned over like they were looking at an idiot.
Tantai Yutang's lips moved. He really wanted to ask, 'How much fake wine did you drink last night for you to be so confident?
Headhunt people from the Nine Greats?
Aren't you afraid that your head will explode? '
"Zhiruo, Teacher Tong has encountered a bottleneck. Teacher just so happens to be able to resolve it for him. That's why he came."
Li Ziqi explained.
"If a school wishes to headhunt such a top-notch great teacher, they have to satisfy two conditions. Firstly, you have to have powerful resources. Great teachers can obtain most of the things they need from you. For example, alchemists need a large amount of top-notch medicinal herbs and pill recipes.
"Secondly, you have to have a top-notch great teacher circle. Only then can everyone interact, seek guidance, and even compete to improve themselves."
Qin Yaoguang put up two fingers and explained to the papaya girl.
"Right now, we can only catch some unaffiliated great teachers."
Li Ziqi sighed.
What were unaffiliated great teachers?
They were those with a tainted reputation, or those whose salary was too high, or those who were unwilling to be restricted and wanted to be mercenaries...
In the Nine Provinces, all famous schools cherished their reputation.
Let alone the Nine Greats, even the Central Province Academy wouldn't recruit great teachers who weren't familiar with their background. Otherwise, the school's reputation would be damaged.
Therefore, those unaffiliated great teachers would either work as private tutors or go to Dark Dawn. They might as well walk the path of darkness.
Sun Mo felt that this was very normal. In the modern era, if one had been detained before, they wouldn't have the qualifications to take the civil service examination.
If the parents were sentenced to death or were serving a sentence, then the child would not be qualified to take the civil servant exam.
For an occupation like a great teacher, the majority of people would still pay attention to their morals and integrity.
No matter how talented a great teacher was, if he had a stain on his reputation, his parents would not be willing to let their children learn from him.
"When the natives of Green Mist agree to cooperate, we can turn the primeval forest into our plantation and use it to attract alchemists, botanists, and herbalists."
Sun Mo didn't wish to kill, but if these natives were stubborn and unwilling to cooperate...
In that case, I can only apologize. I will have to pay a high price to hire bounty hunters to collect their heads.
Sun Mo suddenly thought of the history of the Native Americans.
Sigh!
A wave of sympathy.
I hope the natives know how to compromise and don't make me create a Thanksgiving Day!
"The darkness illusion dojo will raise our martial techniques, the Wind King Divine Hall will provide spirit stones, and the Greenmist Forest will provide rare herbs and wild beasts. Our school can be considered to have some capital now."
Li Ziqi felt that her future was bright.
...
When Zhou Xingtong returned to the manor, a group of high-ranking great teachers immediately came to welcome him.
"Where's Teacher Sun?"
Everyone wasn't concerned about Zhou Wenbin. They just wanted to observe God Hands.
"He didn't come!"
Zhou Xingtong grumbled.
"It can't be, right? Your Zhou Clan doesn't have enough face? "
Everyone was shocked.
In the current situation, regardless of whether Sun Mo could cure them or not, as long as they came, they would be able to earn a favor. In the end, Sun Mo rejected them?
What kind of brain circuit was this?
When Liang Hongda saw Zhou Xingtong's expression, he suddenly felt like laughing. The depression he felt from being rejected by Sun Mo earlier also dissipated.
This feeling was like his girlfriend had been snatched by Sun Mo and he was very unhappy. In the end, he discovered two days later that the official wife of a major character had also been snatched by Sun Mo...
Hence, he felt that he was very lucky compared to that major character.
Liang Hongda was just a vice sect leader, and his reputation and status were definitely inferior to a secondary saint. Therefore, why did he feel that his status had risen to the same level as Secondary Saint Zhou?
"Thank you everyone for your help. Please go to the front hall to have some tea."
Zhou Xingtong planned to visit his grandson again. If it was temporarily safe, he still wanted to treat these people to a meal.
He had to take the initiative to maintain his connections!
"Let's go together!"
Everyone wasn't here to drink tea. If they went together, it would only take a few steps. On the contrary, it would reflect their caring hearts.
"You made me so embarrassed. Sun Mo, this matter isn't over yet!"
The more Zhou Xingtong thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He felt an itch down there and wanted to scratch it, but he felt embarrassed in front of so many people.
The group hadn't reached the backyard when the voice of Miracle Doctor Feng's assistant rang out anxiously.
"Is Old Master Zhou back?"
"Not yet? Quickly send someone to call him back. Young Master Zhou can't hold on for much longer. "
"Quickly, go quickly. If you're late, you won't be able to see him for the last time."
When Zhou Xingtong heard this, his countenance turned pale. He directly executed his movement technique and rushed to the backyard.
Bang!
The door was smashed open and a group of people entered.
"How's my grandson?"
Zhou Xingtong walked to the bedside. With just a glance, he felt heartache and tears streamed down his face.
The current Zhou Wen Bin no longer had the air of a young hero. His body was covered in faint purple moss that was rapidly spreading.
His originally handsome face was now covered with pimples, and his body was visibly thinner.
"Where's Teacher Sun?"
Miracle Doctor Feng saw Zhou Xingtong and immediately asked anxiously.
"He didn't come!"
Liang Hongda saw that Zhou Xingtong wasn't in the mood to reply, so he replied, "How's Wenbin?"
"The poison has erupted. I don't know if he can be stabilized."
Miracle Doctor Feng held a three-inch silver needle and pierced it into Zhou Wen Bin's body, trying his best to seal his blood vessels and prevent the poison from flowing out.
Five minutes later, Miracle Doctor Feng was drenched in sweat and on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, his assistant reacted quickly and supported him.
"He's fine now?"
Zhou Xingtong asked anxiously.
"It's just treating the symptoms but not the root cause. If I do it again, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to extend his life."
Miracle Doctor Feng sighed and clasped his hands. "Old Zhou, why don't you look for someone better?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingtong's body trembled and he almost broke down.
Miracle Doctor Feng's medical skills could be ranked in the top five among the doctors he knew. Even if he looked for someone else, they might not be able to do it. Moreover, the troublesome thing was that the distance was too far.
Given his grandson's current condition, he wouldn't be able to hold on until another miracle doctor came.
"Xingtong, why don't you visit the thatched cottage three times and invite Sun Mo again? If Wenbin... with his talent, it would be too much of a pity. "
Liang Hongda persuaded.
"That's right. How old is Young Master Zhou? He hasn't even tasted the beauty of life before."
The others also sighed.
"Old Zhou, if you can't put down your face, I'll go and invite him!"
Miracle Doctor Feng recommended himself.
"Do you guys know what Sun Mo said?"
Zhou Xingtong was enraged. "He said that if Wenbin is the only one left, he has to get my grandfather to apologize to his eldest disciple."
Swoosh!
The room instantly fell silent.
All the high-ranking great teachers could be considered to have seen all sorts of big scenes and could remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before them. But at this moment, all of them were dumbfounded.
What?
Getting a secondary saint to apologize to a 15-year-old girl?
What kind of joke was this?
How much expensive wine did she drink yesterday?
She actually dared to say such words?
This was simply disgraceful!
"Tell me, can I agree to this?"
Zhou Xingtong felt aggrieved. He felt that he was already merciful enough not to slap Sun Mo to death.
Everyone fell silent and could only silently say that Sun Mo was really daring.
For the sake of his student, he was really going to become enemies with the world.
"Old Zhou, come out for a while!"
Miracle Doctor Feng called out and went out. After that, he leaned against the pillar and took out his tobacco pipe, lighting it up.
Zhou Xingtong's expression was as heavy as water.
"We have been friends for many years. I'll tell you the truth. Wenbin's illness can't be delayed. Based on my experience, it should be caused by some kind of darkness species. Right now, you can only search the entire city and find the culprit. Only by interrogating them will you have a chance to save Wenbin."
Miracle Doctor Feng stared at the sky. "How great a price do you think your Zhou Clan will have to pay to get the Saint Gate and the government to cooperate in the search?"
When Zhou Xingtong thought of that loss, his heart trembled violently.
"Moreover, it has already been three days. The culprit might have already escaped."
Miracle Doctor Feng sighed. "Moreover, even if he didn't escape, would Wenbin be able to persist until you guys find him? Hence, we still have to look for Sun Mo and let him give it a try. "
"But..."
Zhou Xingtong would absolutely not allow his grandfather to apologize.
"I understand your thoughts. Can't you be more flexible?"
Miracle Doctor Feng was helpless. "Promise Sun Mo to treat him first. If he can't treat him, there's naturally no need to fulfill this promise. Even if he is cured, Old Zhou, this illness won't be able to recover within a few days. Can't you take the chance to play some tricks and say that so-and-so divine doctor or so-and-so alchemy pill worked?"
"As long as there's no evidence, who would dare to say that you are wrong?"
Zhou Xingtong's eyes brightened.
"Quickly go!"
Miracle Doctor Feng pushed Zhou Xingtong. "Wenbin is your Zhou Clan's thousand-mile steed. The clan's inheritance still depends on him. If he dies, your Zhou Clan's vitality would surely suffer a great blow."
"I'll go and invite Sun Mo again!"
Zhou Xingtong was very excited. This was an open scheme.
Even if Sun Mo cured Wenbin, he wouldn't owe Sun Mo a favor. It was fine as long as he didn't acknowledge the debt. However, the prerequisite was that he had to find some major characters to endorse him and capture the culprit as soon as possible.
Zhou Xingtong thought it through and no longer delayed. He directly rode his horse alone and headed toward the hotel Sun Mo was at.
...
Zhou Xingtong was in a rush and rode at full speed. As for Sun Mo, he was strolling around the streets to relax. Hence, when Sun Mo returned to the hotel with the Calabash Brothers, Zhou Xingtong had already waited for over ten minutes.
"Teacher Sun!"
Zhou Xingtong did his best to squeeze out a smile and came over. "As long as you can save Wenbin, I'll agree to your request."
