"Dean!"
Everyone hurriedly bowed in greeting.
Regardless of Bai Wenzhang's cultivation base, knowledge, or status, they were all top-notch. He was one of the three people who stood at the peak of spirit runes.
Even Yan Sui, who was at the ancestor-level, when he saw that the person applauding was Bai Wenzhang, the anger on his face immediately turned into a smile.
"Time is too tight, so I'm a bit impatient."
Bai Wenzhang blamed himself. "They did this because they felt sorry for me, the headmaster, and wanted to share my burdens."
"Dean!"
The assistants were immediately moved beyond words. Even Yan Sui's anger had dissipated.
Sun Mo clasped his hands.
Even the big boss had admitted his mistake and given him face. What else could he do?
If he continued to chase and bite, that would be called insensible.
On the other hand, Xiao Feng was dumbfounded.
Bai Wenzhang, who had always done things his own way, was actually explaining things to Sun Mo?
What right does this kid have?
Big bird!
"How have you been lately?"
Bai Wenzhang chatted idly. He walked to the operating table and inspected number 30's body. An instant later, his eyes brightened as he praised.
"As expected of the God Hands. This healing effect is simply too perfect."
Yan Sui and his assistants nodded.
"You flatter me, Principal!"
Sun Mo was humble.
"Why don't you walk with me?"
Bai Wenzhang invited.
The group of assistants was shocked, and they turned to look at Yan Sui.
The dean clearly had some intimate words he wanted to say to Sun Mo. One must know that Bai Wenzhang had always been only interested in the study of spirit runes.
Even Yan Sui, who had been with him the longest, rarely spent time alone with him. Most of the things they talked about were business.
Xiao Feng's expression didn't change, but he clenched his fists tightly.
What was Teacher trying to do?
Why did they treat Sun Mo so well?
…
"You have a good disciple!"
Standing in the garden, Bai Wenzhang stared at Li Ziqi who stopped not far away from him.
Ever since he met Sun Mo back then, he had been getting people to pay attention to Sun Mo. He wanted to see if there was a chance to headhunt Sun Mo to be his assistant.
But who would have thought that his performance would be so breathtaking?
"Actually, the children here are also very outstanding."
Sun Mo persuaded in a tactful manner.
"I'm guilty."
Bai Wenzhang revealed a self-mocking smile. "However, there's no way for me to stop now. From the moment I took over this place, I already have a mission to carry."
"However, if there's a hell after death, I'm willing to go there to suffer and pay for the sins I owe them."
Sun Mo fell silent. This topic was too depressing.
"What do you think of this world?"
Bai Wenzhang asked.
Was this a test?
Sun Mo ridiculed in his heart, but he still replied seriously, "This concept is too big. I'm just a minor character living in Jinling. I only want to do my own thing well."
"As for the direction of the world, whether it becomes good or bad in the end, it's not something I can control."
"But I hope that those who are in power can live up to their high positions, not for their own selfishness, but for the sake of a better life for all mankind. They should try their best to eliminate war, hunger, and make the world better."
Bai Wenzhang nodded. This answer conformed to the norm. After that, he asked again.
"What kind of world do you want?"
Sun Mo stared at the sky. The midday sunlight made one feel lazy.
"A world where everyone can do the things they like."
After hearing this, Bai Wenzhang started. After that, he couldn't help but laugh.
"What a beautiful dream. Sadly, as long as humans have desires, it's impossible for this world of yours to exist."
Bai Wenzhang sighed.
Sun Mo shrugged.
"What kind of life do you want?"
Bai Wenzhang asked again.
"To realize one's self-worth?"
Sun Mo had considered this before. "Currently speaking, I should teach more students and help them to grow, becoming their guide."
"Life can't be repeated once again. Hence, what I can do is to let my students recall their lives when they are on the verge of death. That way, they would have fewer regrets and be able to proudly say that they've worked hard before, succeeded before, and had the most glorious life."
"I suddenly understand why you can have your current achievements."
Bai Wenzhang turned his head and surveyed Sun Mo.
He didn't expect a 22-year-old young man to be so mature and have his own thoughts.
"Third question. What do you think of spirit runes?"
This was a test of Sun Mo's field of expertise.
"When some knowledge is developed to the extreme, it can have a huge impact on the world. Spirit runes are one of them. I feel that their influence is even greater compared to alchemy and weaponsmithing."
There was no difference in knowledge, but in terms of influence, there was a difference.
Bai Wenzhang nodded. After deliberating for a while, he spoke, "The spirit qi fluctuations in the Nine Provinces are becoming more and more irregular. Also, overall, it's showing a downward trend."
Sun Mo was baffled. What did this mean?
"Simply speaking, if this trend continues, the spirit qi will dry up in another thousand years or even a few hundred years. The world will enter an era without laws."
Bai Wenzhang revealed.
"What?"
Sun Mo was shocked. "You mean that I might welcome the end of the world?"
(Please, I just achieved success and am living in a big house with a beautiful fiancée. In the end, you are telling me that the world is going to end?)
"Naturally, this is only our conjecture."
Bai Wenzhang chortled. "However, I really don't have much time left."
Sun Mo frowned and looked at Bai Wenzhang. "Sorry for the offense. Can you let me check?"
"There's no need!"
Bai Wenzhang shook his head.
However, Sun Mo didn't care. He directly placed his hand on Bai Wenzhang's shoulder and activated Divine Sight at the same time.
This time around, Sun Mo saw some data.
Very strong!
As expected of someone at the great ancestor-level. However, what the hell did this vitality stat mean?
(No wonder Bai Wenzhang looks so weak and haggard. So, he's about to die!)
(Is this why you are in such a hurry to conduct the experiment?)
Sun Mo suddenly understood. Bai Wenzhang wanted to complete his research before he died.
Bai Wenzhang actually still had some hope. He wasn't afraid of death, but it was too early for him to die now. However, when he saw Sun Mo's heavy expression, he knew that Sun Mo didn't have any solutions.
"What do you think of those children?"
Bai Wenzhang asked.
"I don't know."
Sun Mo didn't dare to evaluate.
In the modern era, he had seen all sorts of news reversals.
A good person might not be a good person, and a bad person might not be a bad person.
He would let the news fly for a while.
"I thought you would sympathize with them?"
Bai Wenzhang smiled.
"A little."
Sun Mo nodded.
"Many of them are orphans or were sold by their parents. Naturally, there are also some who were abducted and sold. However, I've tried my best to find their families.
"For those with no talent, I gave them some money and gave them freedom, allowing them to make a living on their own. As for those with good aptitudes, I kept them!"
Bai Wenzhang mocked himself once again. "Do you feel that this is very ironic? Those with talent are the ones who have to suffer like this! "
"Can we change the topic?"
Sun Mo bitterly smiled. He really didn't want to continue. It was too unbearable.
"Alright, let's change the topic then!"
Bai Wenzhang stood under a willow tree. "Through Jiang Leng, can you treat those abandoned children?"
"I was just about to talk to you about this. Lend me an operating theater, I want to treat them!"
Sun Mo's tone was resolute.
He was already prepared to pay a huge price because he had thought about it. Jiang Leng could leave the Dragonspirit Manor because he was once the strongest genius here. It was because Bai Wenzhang took pity on him.
The others wouldn't have such treatment.
After all, the spirit runes on their bodies, even if they were damaged, still had great research value.
"Sure, but I will arrange for researchers to observe."
Bai Wenzhang stated his conditions.
"Alright!"
Sun Mo nodded.
Upon hearing Sun Mo agreeing so straightforwardly, Bai Wenzhang was astonished. "Are you not afraid? To high-star great teachers, their learning ability is extremely strong. It's too easy for them to learn from others! "
"It doesn't matter. Whoever learns from them will have the ability to do so!"
Sun Mo looked at Bai Wenzhang. "I need the detailed information of those students."
"No problem!"
Bai Wenzhang surveyed Sun Mo and discovered that Sun Mo truly didn't care if the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands would be leaked or not. His breadth of mind was truly magnanimous. Bai Wenzhang couldn't help but praise him.
"You already have the bearing of an ancestor!"
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Bai Wenzhang + 500. Respect (6,100/10000).
"I still have two important things I need to tell you, but I have to wait until the treatment is over."
Bai Wenzhang suggested, "We will start the treatment five days later. How about it?"
"Alright!"
Sun Mo understood that the effect of the treatment would determine whether Bai Wenzhang would talk to him about those two important things. It would also determine if he could win Bai Wenzhang's trust and respect.
Ding!
"New mission issued. Please subdue Bai Wenzhang. Depending on the results, you will be rewarded."
The system issued a quest at the right time.
"By the way, did you solve the first problem?"
Bai Wenzhang was curious.
"It can't be considered a crack, just a clue. It should be some kind of language to solve the mystery."
Sun Mo didn't say that he understood Sithe.
"I think so too!"
Bai Wenzhang nodded. "I'll gift that celestial globe to you then."
"Ah?"
Sun Mo started. (Aren't you being too generous?)
"I think it's a map!"
Bai Wenzhang smiled. "Maybe it's someone from the Darkness Continent. If that's the case, you would be rich."
"This gift is too precious!"
Sun Mo looked at Bai Wenzhang's wise gaze and understood. Bai Wenzhang knew that Sun Mo knew that language, but he didn't expose it.
You are so good to me.
I'm not your illegitimate child, am I?
…
Bai Wenzhang's efficiency was very fast. In the afternoon, he arranged a room for Sun Mo and even sent a lot of information over. One must know that these were all top-secret documents and outsiders were forbidden to read them.
Therefore, Xiao Feng came looking for him immediately.
"Teacher, why did you show him those?"
Xiao Feng felt very vexed.
"He's someone I admire!"
Bai Wenzhang explained.
"Is he going to submit to our manor?"
Xiao Feng frowned.
"No!"
Bai Wenzhang smiled. "In the Nine Provinces, he's the new rising star with boundless prospects. Even if his brain was damaged, he wouldn't come here!"
"In that case, why did you let him see them?"
Xiao Feng didn't understand. "It's fine if ordinary people wanted to take a look. In any case, they wouldn't understand. But that Sun Mo might be able to learn a lot of things."
"So what?"
Bai Wenzhang was surprised. "Knowledge is meant for others to learn. I've never said that the manor's knowledge isn't allowed to be leaked out!"
Xiao Feng felt so depressed that he wanted to cry. (Why didn't I see you being so generous in the past?)
(No, I have to think of a way to stop this.)
