Headmaster Song didn't forget that Shi Sheng had become a secondary saint and went to work in the Central Province Academy because of Sun Mo. Tong Xugao, who had outstanding talent in the study of spirit runes, also went to this famous school because of Sun Mo.
One could say that the most impressive great teachers in the Central Province Academy were all gathered there because of Sun Mo.
Headmaster Song, who saw this clearly, turned his gaze toward Li Ziqi and the others. He wanted Sun Mo even more because if he could get Sun Mo, he would be able to get these geniuses.
"Of course!"
Headmaster Song replied without any hesitation. "If your school can let me go, I'm willing to be the headmaster of the Black-White Academy and treat Great Teacher Sun generously!"
Song Yan changed the way he addressed Sun Mo to Great Teacher Sun. This wasn't out of courtesy but a form of recognition and admiration.
The entire dining hall instantly fell silent. Even the maidservants who were waiting on the side were shocked.
Let Sun Mo be the headmaster of the Black-White Academy?
(Clan leader, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?)
Anyone from the Land of the Nine Prefectures, regardless of whether they had been to school or not, knew that the Nine Greats were the most top-notch schools. Those who could become the principals of the Nine Greats were all talented and highly respected sages!
"Headmaster Song, this joke isn't funny!"
An Xinhui's expression stiffened a little. This temptation was truly terrifying. She wasn't sure if Sun Mo would be able to endure it!
"Headmaster Song, please be careful with your words!"
Mei Ziyu reminded.
As the daughter of Jixia Academy's celebrity great teacher, Mei Ziyu knew better than others the benefits of becoming the headmaster of a supreme school.
Naturally, she also knew the difficulty. Even though her mother was so outstanding, she still had to face tremendous competition. But now, Song Yan directly promised to give Sun Mo the headmaster position!
(If this were to spread out, aren't you afraid that the school would collapse?)
After all, Sun Mo was an outsider through and through. What would the teachers and students of the Black-White Academy think?
"It's just a lie, right? The kind that can be seen but not eaten? "
Gu Xiuxun mumbled.
"Xiuxun, don't be rude!"
An Xinhui reproached.
"I'm sorry!"
Gu Xiuxun hurriedly apologized. This was a saint and she had to maintain her manners. Otherwise, if he were to throw out a reprimanding halo, the masochist would be the one at a disadvantage.
"It's only natural for you to have such concerns. After all, there are only nine such positions in the entire Nine Prefectures, and they stand at the pinnacle of authority among master teachers!"
Song Yan took a sip of tea. "But I guarantee that I will personally send Sun Mo to the top. I will make all the voices of opposition disappear!"
Hiss!
Hearing the bloody killing intent in Headmaster Song's words, everyone was astonished. This was especially so for Jin Mujie. She couldn't understand it no matter what.
Was it worth it for a mere Sun Mo?
"My teacher is indeed the number one in the world!"
Li Ziqi calmly lifted her teacup and drank a mouthful. In any case, she would go wherever her teacher went!
"I want to know why you value him so much?"
An Xinhui was curious.
"In the great teacher world, there are still some absolute geniuses who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Sun Mo. However, there aren't many who can be mentioned in the same breath as him!"
Headmaster Song thought of Sun Mo's performance in the black-and-white game, especially the words he had said at the final checkpoint.
"Sun Mo's way of thinking and way of doing things should have transcended this era. I want him to build a brand new school and create a new type of education philosophy!"
Song Yan voiced out his thoughts.
"It has been several thousand years, and the education model of the Nine Provinces has never changed. The education world here is as ordinary as plain water. If this continues, there's no hope of winning!"
"Win what?"
Gu Xiuxun asked in passing. Headmaster Song wanted the Black-White Academy to become the number one in the Nine Provinces?
No.
It shouldn't be such a shallow ideal, right?
"When that day comes, you guys will know!"
Headmaster Song didn't explain.
"I feel that education reform should follow the trend of the times. Since the current era hasn't changed, it should be for the best if education continues to develop like this."
An Xinhui suggested a different opinion.
Although it sounded like reform, it was actually forced by the times. Moreover, no one knew if the results would be good or bad.
In the Nine Provinces, due to the existence of the Darkness Continent, the various countries could move to that continent if they wanted land, wealth, or to deplete their excess population. Hence, wars were avoided between countries.
Without wars, countries wouldn't be destroyed, and social order wouldn't change for thousands of years. This meant that there would be no external pressure. Hence, education reform naturally wouldn't have a chance to survive.
"Headmaster An, you can't see the danger because you're not standing at a high enough height!"
Song Yan looked at An Xinhui. He got up and bowed deeply toward her. "Sun Mo is an absolute genius. Let him go, let him come to a wider world and display his talent!"
Seeing Song Yan bowing to An Xinhui in order to obtain Sun Mo, the others were all stunned.
"When will I be valued so highly by a saint?"
Gu Xiuxun was envious.
"Headmaster Song, there's no need to do this!"
An Xinhui hurriedly got up and avoided Song Yan's bow. She felt helpless in her heart.
She finally understood why Song Yan wanted to invite Gu Xiuxun and the others over.
This was a general!
If she rejected, it would be cutting off Sun Mo's path of ascension. At the very least, these people would hate her. After all, even her little crazy fan Gu Xiuxun would be closer to Sun Mo.
But agree?
(I really can't bear to!)
It was a simple meal, and everyone was absent-minded as they ate.
On the way back to the hotel, everyone was silent. Gu Xiuxun couldn't endure the awkwardness and was the first to speak.
"Sun Mo is actually so outstanding to this extent?"
Even if the masochist's self-confidence was exploding and she had a vision of becoming a saint, she had never thought that there would be a day when she could become the headmaster of one of the Nine Greats.
Because it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!
Although there weren't many saints in the Nine Provinces, there were still over 30 of them. However, there were only nine people who could become headmasters.
"Yeah, Headmaster Song gave me a scare!"
An Xinhui was depressed.
Letting a great teacher from another school become the headmaster of an ordinary school would cause a huge commotion. The headmaster would surely have to suppress a few waves of opponents with an iron fist before he could pass down the government order.
In order to get Sun Mo, Song Yan was going all out.
After returning to the hotel, Li Ziqi reported this matter to Sun Mo.
"Become the headmaster?"
Sun Mo was astonished. "Isn't Headmaster Song overestimating me too much?"
Lu Zhiruo deeply agreed. "Yeah, I feel that he's only like this to his own son!"
Pak!
The little sunny egg lifted her hand and rapped the papaya girl's head.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Don't hit my head, I'll become stupid!"
Lu Zhiruo hugged her head with both hands and looked at Li Ziqi resentfully. "If I'm stupid, how can I, the second martial sister, convince everyone?"
Li Ziqi ignored Lu Zhiruo and excitedly asked in a low voice, "Teacher, what are your plans?"
"I don't like the Black-White Academy's school uniform!"
Sun Mo chuckled.
Outside the door, Gu Xiuxun, who was pretending to be passing by, snorted in disdain when she heard this. She felt that Sun Mo must be reluctant to leave Jinling's red-light district.
After all, speaking of famous courtesans, the most famous ones were all located on both sides of the Qinhuai River.
However, she hadn't heard of Sun Mo visiting brothels before. It couldn't be that he couldn't get up, right?
...
Sun Mo's recruitment plan was progressing smoothly. The number of graduates who came to submit their resumes kept increasing. In fact, he could even choose a portion of them.
The Black-White Astrolabe was the ultimate treasure of the school, and the survival game on it was an unsolvable problem for over 1,000 years. However, Sun Mo used a year to clear it.
Because of this, Sun Mo's status in the hearts of these students rose to a higher level.
With such a person as the headmaster, he should be able to make the Central Province Academy rise, right?
Therefore, if he were to become a teacher now, he might even be able to become a doyen!
Those students who majored in spirit runes didn't have so many worries. They only wanted to follow by Sun Mo's side and be his assistant, learning from him.
In fact, some high-star great teachers even secretly came to ask, wanting to transfer schools.
It was a pity that Sun Mo didn't need so many spirit rune masters. Moreover, if he really headhunted all the teachers of this subject, it would be strange if Wan Kangcheng didn't go all out against him.
...
"Teacher Li, I heard that you went to look for Sun Mo? How was the discussion? "
Wan Kangcheng stopped Li Feng in the office building.
"Vice-headmaster Wan, don't speak nonsense. I didn't look for Sun Mo!"
Li Feng corrected.
"But someone saw you entering and exiting the hotel that Sun Mo is staying in?"
Wan Kangcheng mentally mused. (Even if the spies I arranged had blurred vision, the image-recording stones in their hands wouldn't be wrong, right?)
"Eh!"
Li Feng's scalp turned numb and she wanted to scold. (Are you shameless for spying on others like this?)
"Teacher Li, the school hasn't let you down, right?"
Wan Kangcheng played the pity card.
"But my research budget hasn't increased for three years!"
Li Feng spread her hands.
"Our school's funding doesn't fall from the sky. Moreover, we have to split it among so many people!"
Wan Kangcheng felt a headache.
He really didn't dare to promise too much. If not, if others came to make trouble, what should he do?
"So, I can only apologize!"
Li Feng shook her head.
"Ah, from what you mean, you want to leave?"
Wan Kangcheng grew anxious. Li Feng's alchemy skills were ranked fifth in the entire school.
"Don't blame me. It's really because Sun Mo has given too much."
"How much?"
Wan Kangcheng mentally mused. (If not, I'll add on as well.)
Li Feng lifted a hand!
"50% more than the current amount?"
Wan Kangcheng gritted his teeth. "I'll give you the same amount too!"
"It's five times!"
Li Feng's tone couldn't conceal her excitement.
"Ah? Is he crazy? "
Wan Kangcheng was stunned. The school allocated 20 million taels to Li Feng every year. If it was increased by five times, it would be 100 million taels.
Where did Sun Mo get so much money from?
"I don't know if he's crazy or not. In any case, he promised to give me medicinal herbs worth this amount every year. If he can't do it, I can go and scold him!"
Li Feng was very happy. In the future, she would be able to do experiments without any worries.
"..."
Wan Kangcheng smiled bitterly. He didn't dare to match this price, nor could he afford it.
"Old Wan, honestly speaking, even if Sun Mo only gives me 20 million, I'm planning to leave as well."
Li Feng spoke from the bottom of her heart.
"Why?"
Wan Kangcheng didn't understand.
"Because he's handsome!"
Li Feng chuckled and turned to leave.
In truth, she coveted Sun Mo's ancient massage technique and wanted him to give her a face-lift.
"..."
Wan Kangcheng felt as though he was going to break apart. He suddenly discovered that if Sun Mo used God Hands as a bargaining chip, the older female great teachers of the Black-White Academy would probably be wiped out.
It would be a wonder if they could stop this!
