Sun Mo went shopping, but he didn't buy any luxurious houses!
He still couldn't bear to spend this money!
After all, he was living very comfortably in this villa. It was very convenient for him to attend classes, rest, and head to the Wind King Divine Hall and the Greenmist Forest.
Moreover, the majority of rich people would buy a house to hide a mistress. Sun Mo was a single dog and didn't have such a need.
Then, a busy winter vacation passed just like that.
Sun Mo had planned to rest, but he had to give lessons to the Calabash Brothers every day. Some great teachers from his school didn't return home during the holidays and chose to stay in school to continue their studies.
If others had a problem, they would come to consult Sun Mo.
Although it wasn't to the extent of Cheng Men and Lixue, Sun Mo found it hard to reject Cheng Men and Lixue whenever they visited with sincerity.
Even if everyone interacted for an hour, there were too many great teachers who stayed behind in the school. This took up a lot of Sun Mo's time.
Of course, the benefit was that he could farm a large number of favorable impression points.
This proved that he deserved to be a Sage Candidate.
After the new year, many wealthy merchants, high officials, and nobles of Jinling came to the Central Province Academy to pay their respects to An Xinhui and Sun Mo under the pretext of paying their respects.
Naturally, their target was Sun Mo. However, An Xinhui was the headmaster and Sun Mo's fiancée in name after all. If they didn't mention her name, it would seem like they had ulterior motives.
These people from the upper echelons of Jinling, other than wanting to meet Sun Mo, the most popular rising star in the great teacher world, they also wanted Sun Mo to accept their children.
These large clans were not short of money and could afford to raise them. Therefore, each of them had many descendants.
Letting a child enter Sun Mo's tutelage could be considered a pretty good investment.
Therefore, they prepared a generous tuition fee.
This was not a piece of cured meat, a chicken, or a jug of wine. It was real estate, land deeds, and farms. These were all real wealth.
What?
Can't bear to?
Then what kind of teacher are you looking for?
Even the nobles who had brought these heavy gifts were trembling with fear, deeply afraid that Sun Mo wouldn't accept their children.
Reality proved that Sun Mo really couldn't care less about this.
Let alone Sun Mo, even An Xinhui didn't receive a single one.
"Sun Mo really doesn't understand the ways of the world!"
The magistrate of Jinling, who was in a high position and had been rejected, cursed angrily after he left the school gate.
In the great teacher world, there was an unspoken rule. Other than taking in students based on their aptitude, great teachers would also take in students based on their family background. They would take in some students whose aptitude wasn't as good but whose family background was extraordinary.
Great teachers engaged in research, doing academics, and traveling around the nine provinces. They needed a lot of money, but they didn't do anything productive. Where did they get the money from?
Naturally, it was the contributions of these students' parents.
As for the parents of the students, they would receive the 'reputation of a great teacher'. After all, regardless of whether it was the modern era or ancient times, it was a very good thing for one's child to have such a title as a graduate of a famous school or a personal disciple of a great teacher.
However, Sun Mo didn't play his cards according to logic. He didn't accept any of them.
There were quite a few people standing here, all of them waiting to pay their respects to Sun Mo. However, after this prefectural magistrate finished speaking, he discovered that there was basically no one who agreed with him. Even the two unlucky fellows who had returned without accomplishing anything had a look of hatred on their faces, but they didn't complain at all.
"Oh no!"
Since this man could become the magistrate of Jinling, he was naturally not a fool. He immediately reacted.
He had said the wrong thing.
Sun Mo's prestige was so strong that no one dared to say anything bad about him in public.
Pak!
The prefectural magistrate was very decisive. He lifted his hand and gave his son a slap.
"You trash, go back and study well to improve yourself. If you can't enter Great Teacher Sun's tutelage next year, I'll expel you from the clan. No, I'll directly beat you to death!"
The prefectural magistrate cursed.
He should still be able to save himself!
"Ah?"
The young man who was slapped had a dumbfounded look on his face. After that, he put on a mournful expression. "Father, just beat me to death now. Even Great Teacher Sun's eldest disciple can become my teacher. What qualifications do I have to be his junior brother?!"
The number of influential officials who had their doors shut in their faces was increasing.
This was especially so when the holidays were nearing. Not only did the number not decrease, but it also increased.
It was because Sun Mo's stunning performance in the 4-star great teacher examination had spread far and wide. This was especially so for his reply to the Ancient Wind King. It simply caused everyone to slap the table and exclaim in admiration.
"Our journey is the sea of stars!"
It was unknown how many young great teachers' hearts were stirred, causing many dispirited people to pull themselves together and set sail, roaming their own seas and chasing after their own stars!
At the start of spring, the Saint Gate also announced the contents of the 5-star great teacher examination.
After every 4-star great teacher hunted down ten dark great teachers and ascertained that the great teacher halos they had reached the standard, they could participate in the grandmaster-level examination. Once they passed, they would become a 5-star great teacher.
The examination this time around would last for three years.
Some people who understood the inside story knew that the Saint Gate and Dark Dawn were at loggerheads. They were starting to suppress this evil organization.
After the start of spring, another month passed. Sun Mo was ready to set off.
"Teacher, please bring me along!"
Qin Yaoguang pulled Sun Mo's arm and begged.
Ying Baiwu had an aggrieved look on her face as she looked at Sun Mo. It was because she couldn't go as well.
"No, you have to work hard at home. After I return, I want to check on your homework!"
Sun Mo rejected.
"Then why can the two of you go?" Qin Yaoguang wasn't convinced. "I can understand that Ziqi wants to be your assistant, but what about Senior Sister Zhiruo?"
Qin Yaoguang thought to herself, (She's just a dumb sister. What can she do?
She can't even serve tea or pour water as quickly as me.)
"Don't mess around!"
Sun Mo's face stiffened. (The papaya girl is my lucky mascot. How can I tell you this?)
Sun Mo could still rely on his identity to suppress the Calabash Brothers, but he couldn't do that to An Xinhui and the others.
Mei Ziyu, Gu Xiuxun, Murong Mingyue, and Jin Mujie were all going!
"If you go too, what about the school's official business?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"I'll get Teacher Yue to do it for me. Moreover, there's Secondary Saint Shi around, so there's no need to worry!"
This trip was to headhunt people and would definitely be filled with difficulties. As the headmaster, how could An Xinhui hide behind and enjoy the fruits of others' labor? Moreover, she wanted to prove herself.
Otherwise, if this were to continue, she would become a vase in the heart of her childhood sweetheart.
On a sunny morning, the group set off. After that, Sun Mo discovered to his surprise that this group had a severe shortage of males and females.
Other than him, there wasn't a single guy?
Immediately, Sun Mo felt awkward.
"Why don't you guys take your time and I'll go to Liaojing first to take a look at the local customs?"
Sun Mo planned to leave first on Little Silver's back. If not, things would be too awkward.
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's only a journey of ten days! "
Gu Xiuxun's lips twitched. She still wanted to have some fun along the way.
The group first took a boat and headed north. When they arrived at Gourd Island, they disembarked and rode on horses. They passed through Dahan Pass and headed north, all the way to Liaojing.
The masochist had already studied the map. On the way, there were many fun places!
"That's right, you have been very busy. You should take this time to have a good rest!"
Mei Ziyu felt heartache for Sun Mo.
An Xinhui was really ordering him around like a cow or a horse.
One could say that Sun Mo was the one who fought for the Central Province Academy.
Jin Mujie looked at this group of people and covered her mouth as she secretly laughed.
Sun Mo was a muscular guy over 20 years old. There were so many beautiful great teachers around him, but he couldn't touch them. How uncomfortable would that be?
(Sigh, it's really rare to see someone as pure as Sun Mo!)
(It's a pity that I'm old, or I'd be the one chasing after him.)
If Sun Mo heard Jin Mujie's thoughts, he'd definitely say,
(I don't mind you being old.
Reduce internal heat!)
Honestly speaking, Jin Mujie, who had the charm of a young married woman, was the one with the greatest killing prowess to Sun Mo among these women.
After all, she was simply too old.
The boat headed north. Cheers and laughter filled the air, causing the footsteps of time to slow down. They were deeply afraid that they would disturb this peaceful time.
On this night, the bright moon hung high in the sky, scattering down white rays of light.
Sun Mo wore a long robe and stood at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, allowing the slightly cold night wind to blow past his face.
He felt that at this moment, he should be like a banished immortal.
"It's a pity that I don't have a phone. I can't take selfies!"
Sun Mo felt very regretful.
After that, he wanted to recite a poem to express his feelings. However, after racking his brains for half a day, his mind was filled with Li Du and Wang Dong's poems. The little bit of ink in his stomach was all saliva poems. If he recited it, it'd be a waste of the scenery.
"Should I just copy one?"
"Teacher Sun!"
A soft call interrupted Sun Mo's conflicted thoughts.
"Teacher Jin!"
Sun Mo smiled. "Not playing mahjong anymore?"
"Nope. Those two disciples of yours are freaks. They have already won a year's worth of our salary."
Jin Mujie sighed.
The days on the boat were boring, so everyone played Leaf Cards. Sun Mo didn't know how to play this and felt that it wasn't fun. Hence, he invented mahjong.
Needless to say, this game required both luck and calculation. It was much more interesting than the Leaf card.
The few beautiful great teachers liked it the moment they started playing. Hence, they opened a table.
Li Ziqi was as expected of a genius with a photographic memory. In addition to her outstanding calculation ability, her mahjong skills were already better than everyone else's in just half a day.
Of course, this was also related to the fact that everyone felt embarrassed to win money from Sun Mo's students.
It was one thing for Li Ziqi to be strong. This was her talent. But Lu Zhiruo's luck in mahjong was terrifying as well. She either didn't win, or she would win a lot of money!
The little sunny egg had worked hard for an entire day to win all the money. In the end, the papaya girl would win it all in just a round of mahjong after dinner.
"Hehe!"
Sun Mo played a few rounds with the two calabash girls and stopped.
There was no solution to it. He couldn't win.
Playing mahjong was just a pastime. He didn't want to waste his brain to calculate. But if he didn't calculate his cards, he wouldn't be able to win. Hence, he could only give up.
Jin Mujie no longer spoke. She pressed her arm against the side of the boat and stared at the scenery of the lake and mountains in the distance.
Sun Mo also quietened down.
"Why are you in a daze? Are you trying to strike up a conversation? "
The system was speechless. "Do you think someone like you can anger Yue Lao to death? I've already given you the chance, but you're useless! "
"Teacher Sun, I'm disbanding the great teacher circle!"
Jin Mujie suddenly spoke up.
"Why?"
Sun Mo was astonished. "You lack money?"
That shouldn't be the case. Given the income of a 3-star great teacher, it shouldn't be a problem to support an ordinary great teacher circle.
Jin Mujie felt a little depressed. (What's wrong with your brain?
I can't even get into the topic!)
(Shouldn't you be the one rejoicing and inviting me to join your great teacher circle?)
(Forget it!
Just do it!)
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?
(I have such a thing?)
