Just when Sun Mo went up the stairs, he saw a group of students gathered in the corridor. Some of them were fighting.
"Teacher Sun is here!"
It was unknown who shouted, but the originally noisy corridor instantly quietened down. Even those who were fighting hurriedly retreated to the side.
At this moment, they were panicking.
They weren't afraid of being reprimanded or even punished, but they were afraid that Sun Mo would ban them from attending his class.
"What's going on?"
Sun Mo carried a potted plant and walked over with a sullen look on his face.
Students fighting was something he hated the most.
"Teacher, this fellow used your class slot to exchange for money."
A male student hurriedly pushed the blame away, indicating that everyone was the victim. The other students also reacted and immediately started to denounce him.
Sun Mo looked at this short-haired male student whose lips were swollen and frowned. He noticed that the surrounding students all had expressions of righteous indignation on their faces. It was as if he deserved to be beaten.
"Teacher, I didn't sell it for money. I only gave the seat to a friend!"
The male student who was beaten was called Liang Cheng. His mouth was swollen and he couldn't speak clearly. He wouldn't admit to such a thing even if he was beaten to death. Besides, no one had any evidence.
"You are talking nonsense. Then why did you wait for over an hour and leave when the class is about to start?"
Someone questioned.
"I... I'm not feeling well!"
Liang Cheng found an excuse.
Sun Mo fell silent, allowing both parties to quarrel while observing their expressions. He didn't expect that his class would be so popular to the extent where it was hard to get a seat.
Could this be considered the earliest scalper?
Honestly speaking, Sun Mo was very unhappy with the behavior of a scalper. It was because it was a violation of the benefits of others.
Liang Cheng, 15 years old. Fifth level of the body-refinement realm.
Strength: 7, strength is your forte.
Intellect: 6, a little quick-witted.
Agility: 4, can't run fast and can't walk!
Endurance: 9, this is your advantage!
...
Potential value: Average!
Note: Likes money. The purpose of cultivation is to earn money.
Note: Often lies, has the habit of stealing, always has a wishful thinking, and likes to gamble!
Looking at Liang Cheng's data, Sun Mo frowned.
Cai Tan stood in the crowd and looked at Sun Mo with a dumbfounded expression.
"It's actually him?"
That day at the Sorrowless Lake, Cai Tan did want to commit suicide. It was only because of that young teacher's words that he temporarily gave up. He didn't expect him to be so Sun Mo.
The word 'poisoned' surged into Cai Tan's mind again.
Cai Tan had actually forgotten about it. After all, how could he have possibly been poisoned? They ate from the cafeteria and drank from the school's well water. Although they occasionally went out to find restaurants to eat with their girlfriends or friends, everyone had nothing to do!
Most importantly, Cai Tan had looked for several doctors, but none of them had diagnosed any signs of poisoning.
Cai Tan looked at Sun Mo and frowned deeply. If an ordinary teacher said the word 'poisoned', he would treat it as a joke. However, this was said by Sun Mo!
During this period of time, the rumors regarding Sun Mo's' God Hands' had caused Cai Tan's ears to grow calluses.
"Have I really been poisoned?"
Cai Tan was uncertain at first, but why couldn't the doctors diagnose it?
"Silence!"
Sun Mo raised his hand, indicating for everyone to not speak.
In the entire corridor, including the students in the classrooms, there were at least a few hundred people spectating. But as Sun Mo spoke, everyone instantly quietened down.
Cai Tan was speechless.
One must know that it was one thing if this was said by a great teacher, but Sun Mo had just joined the profession!
Ludi was carrying a rice bowl with braised pig trotters inside. He happened to pass by and when he saw this scene, he instantly felt extremely envious.
"You said that you are not feeling well?"
Sun Mo looked toward Liang Cheng.
"This fellow is going to be unlucky!"
Upon hearing this question, Li Ziqi, who was following behind Sun Mo, revealed a teasing smile as she looked at this guy with a swollen mouth.
"That's right, if he is lying, he's going to be unlucky!"
Lu Zhiruo nodded. Her teacher's Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands could touch anything.
"Eh, I... I..."
Liang Cheng clearly recalled that Sun Mo had God Hands and was a little flustered. However, if he admitted to selling seats, he would surely be punished, right? If Sun Mo forbade him from attending his class, how was he going to earn money in the future?
One must know that as long as he woke up early and occupied a seat, he would be able to earn 10 taels of silver. This amount of money was something that his father in the countryside could only earn after working for two months.
During these few days, by relying on this unexpected fortune, Liang Cheng's meals were raised to a higher level. He even dared to extravagantly add a meat dish for dinner.
"What?"
A male student questioned.
"I... I'm really not feeling well!"
For the sake of money, Liang Cheng decided to lie. Moreover, how could the other party tell that he was feeling unwell?
Even if he did, he could insist that he wasn't feeling well.
Get a doctor to take a look? Sorry, it's just a headache and fever. The doctor didn't have any proof either. Hence, this problem was a dead end.
Upon thinking of this, Liang Cheng immediately calmed down. "Teacher, if you don't believe me, you can come and touch it!"
Upon seeing Liang Cheng's appearance, those male students who were waiting for their seats were so angry that they wanted to die. This fellow was too despicable.
"Hehe!"
Sun Mo didn't touch Liang Cheng. Instead, he looked at him and asked again, "Are you sure you don't intend to tell the truth?"
"Teacher, I'm not lying!"
Liang Cheng put on a bitter expression.
Sun Mo ignored him and walked toward the classroom's door. He looked at all the students and said a single sentence.
"Who was the one who asked him to reserve a seat? If you step out now, I can treat it as if nothing has happened. If you dare to hide it, after I investigate the truth, not only will I ban you from attending my class, but I'll also suggest to the school to expel you!"
As Sun Mo spoke, his voice became stern.
"Ah?"
Liang Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect Sun Mo to do this. He subconsciously glanced toward the classroom, hoping that Wang Li wouldn't sell him out.
However, just when this thought appeared, Wang Li already stood up.
"Teacher, I was wrong. I shouldn't have asked him to reserve a seat, but I really don't wish to miss your class."
Wang Li stood up and looked at Sun Mo with a pleading look in his eyes.
The entire classroom, including the corridors, had a total of several hundred people. At this moment, all of them were stunned. Everyone thought that Sun Mo would display his God Hands and check Liang Cheng's body to determine if he was lying or not. However, Sun Mo didn't do so at all.
Just a single sentence easily proved that Liang Cheng was speaking the truth.
"Eh?"
Lu Zhiruo was stunned. There was such a thing?
"Teacher is really impressive!"
Li Ziqi praised from the bottom of her heart.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Sun Mo + 15. Friendly (402/1,000).
When everyone sank into their usual thinking and placed the emphasis on Sun Mo's God Hands, Sun Mo actually opened up another path and used an even simpler method to solve the problem.
That was right. Even if Sun Mo could feel that there was no problem with Liang Cheng's body, if Liang Cheng didn't admit to it, could it be that Sun Mo, as a teacher, had to find a doctor to check on him?
Even if the doctor could prove that Liang Cheng was lying, Sun Mo's style would drop by quite a bit. It was because when a teacher fought with a student, regardless of who won or lost, it would damage his reputation.
However, Sun Mo's way of handling things was simply marvelous. With a single sentence, he exposed Liang Cheng's true colors.
Liang Cheng had neglected a problem. He didn't care if he could attend Sun Mo's class or not, but students who were willing to spend money to reserve a seat for someone else would want to attend Sun Mo's class more than anyone else and receive Sun Mo's guidance.
After all, no one's money came from nowhere.
A single sentence from Sun Mo was enough to make Wang Li reveal the truth.
As for concealing it?
Why would Wang Li make Sun Mo unhappy for the sake of Liang Cheng who only cared about money?
"If you wish to attend the class, reserve a seat for yourself. For today's class, you can leave!"
After Sun Mo spoke, Wang Li immediately felt as though he had been pardoned. As he walked out, he kept on guaranteeing, "In the future, I'll come an hour earlier to snatch a seat every day."
Sun Mo returned to the corridor.
Liang Cheng was drenched in sweat and his entire mind was in a daze. After that, he knelt with a thud. "Teacher, it's fine if you want to punish me, but please don't expel me!"
"It's already proven. Your apology isn't because you made a mistake and are seeking forgiveness. Rather, it's because you don't want to be expelled. What else do you want me to say?"
Sun Mo sighed.
"Teacher, I was wrong!"
Liang Cheng pleaded, "I really can't be expelled. I'm the only student in our village who managed to get into a famous school. I'm the pride of my parents. If I were to be expelled, they'd surely be angered to death."
Sun Mo walked up and touched Liang Cheng's shoulder.
"Teacher, please spare me this time around."
Liang Cheng would often use his parents as a shield, and it had always been effective. "My mother is bedridden. She really can't take such a blow."
"Is it really good for you to curse your mother like this? She has endured all sorts of hardships to raise you for 15 years! "
Sun Mo looked at Liang Cheng, feeling extremely disappointed.
"Ah?"
Liang Cheng was completely stunned. This time around, cold sweat flowed out like a waterfall, directly drenching his clothes. (Wait, Teacher is lying to me. How could he know that my mother is fine?)
"Teacher, my mother is really bedridden. I'm not lying!"
Liang Cheng persisted and even kowtowed twice.
"Actually, as long as you admit your mistake, I don't plan to expel you. After all, it's not easy to leave home to study. However, I can no longer tolerate your repeated lies."
Sun Mo's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could clamp a crab to death.
"Since that's the case, I'll arrange for someone to go to your hometown and bring your mother over. We'll see how things go at that time!"
Sun Mo didn't wish to say any more nonsense.
"Teacher, let me make the arrangements."
Li Ziqi volunteered. "Use my family's carriage. His mother won't be tired from running around."
"Mn, you must take good care of the elderly!"
Sun Mo instructed.
Hearing this, Liang Cheng really panicked. If his mother came and found out about this matter, she'd definitely beat him to death. This was even more serious than being expelled. Therefore, he kowtowed with force.
"Teacher, I was wrong. My mother isn't seriously ill. I admit that I accepted Wang Li's money to reserve a seat for him. It's fine if you expel me, but please don't inform my mother!"
Liang Cheng begged.
If he was expelled, he could just work in Jinling City. In any case, his aptitude was mediocre. Other than wasting money, there was no meaning in going to school.
But if his mother came, he would really be finished.
Si ~
Hearing this, the spectators drew in a cold gasp. How could Sun Mo be so sure that Liang Cheng's mother wasn't seriously ill?
After that, everyone recalled that Sun Mo had touched Liang Cheng's shoulder before he spoke.
"That can't be, right? God Hands can even feel something like this?"
"It should be a guess, right?"
"How can it be a guess? If Liang Cheng's mother is really seriously ill and he sent someone to fetch her, he'd only lose face in the end."
The students discussed. Their gazes when looking at Sun Mo were filled with doubt, surprise, shock, and so on.
"Oh, right. You also stole two taels of silver from your roommate. Remember to return it before you leave the school!"
Sun Mo emphasized again.
"What?"
Hearing this, a commotion broke out.
As for Liang Cheng, the color on his face instantly faded, turning pale. His lips opened and closed, wanting to say no, but he didn't dare to open his mouth.
Sun Mo's God Hands were simply too terrifying.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Liang Cheng + 30. Prestige connection unlocked. Neutral (30/100).
This was the favorable impression points he felt from his reverence and fear toward Sun Mo.
Seeing Liang Cheng's current appearance, which was completely different from his glib tongue earlier, everyone knew that Sun Mo was right.
"My heavens, it's Tianxiu!"
The various expressions on the faces of the spectating students faded away, turning into fanaticism. God Hands was simply too powerful. They had to experience it for themselves!
Ding!
"Congratulations host, you've harvested favorable impression points + 525."
Cai Tan stared at Sun Mo's silhouette, dumbfounded. After that, a thought uncontrollably gushed into his mind. "I might really be poisoned!"
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Cai Tan + 20. Prestige connection unlocked. Neutral (20/100).
Sun Mo stood on the rostrum and swept his gaze across the entire classroom. The 300 seats were all filled.
Regarding Liang Cheng's theft, he naturally saw it through Divine Sight. But in order to not expose this ability, he could only touch Liang Cheng and push the blame to the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands.
"Now, those who have bought seats, get out!"
Sun Mo spoke.
A slight commotion appeared in the classroom. A few seconds later, over ten students immediately left their seats. They didn't leave but came before Sun Mo, lowering their heads and apologizing.
"There's no need to apologize. Actually, you guys didn't do anything wrong. If you leave the school and compete with others, having money is also a kind of advantage!"
Sun Mo looked at the students. Although everyone was wearing the school uniform, he could tell that they were all children from wealthy families.
If the students had money, they could buy seats from scalpers. In that case, they could use this one hour to cultivate. This was a reasonable method of using money.
"However, this is a school, a place where fairness is important. I will give every student an equal chance!"
Sun Mo looked at the students. "I won't favor one and discriminate against another."
Pak, pak, pak!
Applause rang out.
Sun Mo stretched out his hand and gestured for everyone to be quiet.
"People use money to buy seats. Honestly speaking, have you guys ever felt envious?"
Sun Mo asked.
"Of course. I only had a feeling at that time. It's so good to be rich!"
A student sighed ruefully.
"Then you have to work hard. If you can't become the son of a wealthy family, you have to be a wealthy person yourself, becoming someone above others!"
As Sun Mo spoke, golden light shone from his body. After that, light spots shot out, enveloping the entire place.
Priceless Advice was activated!
In an instant, the entire classroom and the students outside the corridor were immersed in an excited state of having to work hard.
"Great teacher halo!"
Ludi sighed ruefully. He felt that the braised pig trotters he was hugging were even more fragrant. That was right, he had to work hard to stay in school. Hence, he would cook 50 more pig trotters today!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Ludi + 20. Neutral (30/100).
"Teacher is so awesome!"
Lu Zhiruo was so happy that her hands were about to turn red from clapping.
As expected of Sun Mo's fangirl.
"Alright, let's start the lesson now!"
Sun Mo started his lesson. Because of the great teacher halo, the effect of this lesson was simply terrifying. Every student poured all their energy into it, and none of them slacked off.
As for Liang Cheng's problem, Sun Mo would report it to the school. As for whether to expel him or to stay in school for observation, it would be up to the school's leaders to decide.
As for himself, he only had the right to make suggestions.
