The sun was high up in the sky. Sunlight shone through the window and onto the ground, resembling a faint golden carpet.
Sun Mo opened his eyes, but he closed them again because of the intense headache.
It had been too long since he felt like this.
It was just like back then when he was in university. He had a drinking competition with his roommates and drank nine bottles of beer. Not only did he vomit so badly, but when he woke up the next day, his brain was in a state of pain and chaos.
Luckily, his roommates weren't interested in his chrysanthemum. Otherwise, he'd definitely be in a mess.
"How much did I drink yesterday?"
Sun Mo mumbled and pinched his brows. But all of a sudden, his movements froze because he discovered that his lower body was in pain.
(I'm injured?)
(Wait a minute. From the corner of his eyes, Sun Mo saw a girl with long black hair sleeping soundly with her back facing him. Her snow-white figure was exposed to the air.
Eh!
Sun Mo abruptly sat up and surveyed the surroundings.
This place wasn't the Apricot Flower Inn, nor was it Miss Shishi's residence. It was a girl's room. The furnishings were simple, and some places were covered in dust. This meant that the other party didn't stay here for long.
Gradually, the memories from last night appeared in his mind.
Sun Mo and Gu Xiuxun drank a lot of alcohol and were like old friends, pouring out their hearts.
In the modern era, after Sun Mo graduated, he became a teacher in a key high school. Although his salary was sufficient, it was an extravagant hope to buy a house. Moreover, he didn't have a girlfriend.
Although Sun Mo went with the flow, honestly speaking, he felt a little impatient in his heart. After all, it wasn't easy to be an old man, and he couldn't always rely on his right hand to resolve his loneliness.
Just like that, a few years passed. Sun Mo accidentally fell into the water and came to Jinling. After that, he started to rush about.
During these ten plus years, Sun Mo kept on welcoming success, but his life was like a spinning top, spinning bitterly. He basically didn't enjoy a good life.
Until An Xiaoxin woke up and regained her authority as the headmaster, Sun Mo regained his identity as an ordinary teacher. He just had to attend classes every day.
His days now were really very relaxed.
Actually, thinking about it carefully, Sun Mo had many good students. Li Ziqi and the others were all willing to sacrifice their lives for him. However, he didn't have many good friends.
After all, Sun Mo's time was used to accumulate strength and become a high-star great teacher. He didn't have time to make friends.
Gu Xiuxun could be considered one.
At the start of yesterday's gathering, Sun Mo still accepted it. But after he drank too much, he felt like vomiting his lungs out. Naturally, the most important thing was that there was an indescribable sorrow in his heart and he wanted to find someone to pour it out to.
Sun Mo kept feeling that he had forgotten about a certain great teacher elder, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't recall who it was.
He asked the system, but the system did not respond at all. It was as if it was dead.
He told this matter to An Xinhui, asking her if any great teachers in the school had resigned or passed away due to illness.
An Xinhui said no.
This indescribable sadness was also one of the reasons why Sun Mo was so drunk.
After that, as a great teacher, it was naturally impossible for Sun Mo to spend the night in the Apricot Flower Inn. Hence, the two of them paid the bill and left. They didn't take the carriage and just strolled along the Qinhuai River as they pleased, admiring the night scenery...
F * ck, I can't remember!
Sun Mo hammered his forehead in frustration. He turned his head and saw that the shoulders of the girl beside him were trembling slightly. There was no need to ask. She must have woken up and was panicking, not knowing how to face him.
"Xiuxun, last night..."
That's right, this girl was a masochist. After all, she was so flat, it was impossible for Sun Mo to be mistaken.
"Nothing happened last night!"
Gu Xiuxun trembled a little. "We're good friends, there's nothing wrong with sleeping together!"
To hell with nothing.
(If nothing happened, why does my lower part hurt so much?)
Sigh!
Sun Mo didn't have the experience of being a scumbag and didn't have a heartless heart. Hence, he consoled, "I'll take responsibility!"
After hearing this, Gu Xiuxun's body stiffened. After that, she let out a sobbing sound.
Sun Mo was flustered.
It wasn't easy for him to straighten Gu Xiuxun's body and let her lie on her back. Sun Mo saw the masochist covering her face with her hands and crying.
"I... I've let down Sister Xinhui!"
Right now, Gu Xiuxun felt conflicted. She felt a little blissful but also a little worried. She worshipped An Xinhui, but she had slept with her fiancé.
"Don't think about it, the one who let her down is me!"
Sun Mo sighed and wanted to get up. However, a snow-white hand pulled him back.
It didn't seem right for him to leave after eating.
Hence, Sun Mo lay down.
After that, he thought of a problem.
(I must have spent a lot of money in the Apricot Flower Inn yesterday, right? I actually didn't sleep with that famous prostitute? Wouldn't I have suffered a great loss?)
"Xiu... Xiuxun, I'm sorry!"
Sun Mo apologized again when he saw that the masochist wasn't speaking.
"I actually don't blame you!"
Gu Xiuxun's voice was as soft as a mosquito's. She even added a sentence in her heart, 'I even felt a little happy'.
The masochist secretly glanced at Sun Mo. The more she looked, the happier she felt. A smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
(I've found a good man!)
But very soon, the masochist started to worry. (Our relationship hasn't been set, right?
What if he doesn't acknowledge it?)
At the thought of this, Gu Xiuxun subconsciously hugged Sun Mo tightly.
"You... you..."
She wanted to ask, but she was afraid that she would get a terrible answer.
At this moment, Sun Mo suddenly had a stroke of luck. His emotional intelligence was off the charts. With a flip, he pressed Gu Xiuxun down on top of him. After that, the large bed started shaking, emitting creaking sounds.
...
In front of the school gate.
Gu Xiuxun jumped off the horse and ran away without turning back.
She had a 'guilty conscience' and didn't dare to enter together with Sun Mo. It'd be troublesome if she met someone she knew.
Sun Mo felt refreshed. Could this be the legendary 'frustrated at work but happy in love'?
(Forget it, who cares? It's fine as long as I'm happy!)
As the saying went, being a salted fish was always the best. After Sun Mo discovered that he 'gave up on improving himself', his life suddenly became more relaxed. Other than going to work normally, he would eat, drink, and play with Gu Xiuxun every day. During the weekends, he could even go to Jinling City and the surrounding scenic spots to cultivate his character.
In this era, Sun Mo could do it with Gu Xiuxun anytime. He didn't need to worry about being captured by the surveillance cameras on the streets.
Naturally, he still needed to have money!
Sun Mo was now the wealthiest person in Jinling City. When he bought things, he never looked at the price. He only looked at whether he liked it or not.
Such blissful days were interrupted after Sun Mo lived for a month. It was because Mei Ziyu had noticed the abnormality between Sun Mo and Gu Xiuxun. She was like a little tail and joined in.
Gu Xiuxun was a girl from an ordinary family. At most, her family would have some money. To put it bluntly, if Sun Mo got her pregnant, it wouldn't be a big problem even if he didn't take responsibility. At most, he would be scolded as a scumbag. However, Mei Ziyu couldn't do that.
If Sun Mo dared to act recklessly, his future mother-in-law Mei Yazhi would bring the Jixia Learning Palace's great teacher circle to the Central Province Academy the next day to denounce him.
In the outskirts, in the Buddha Pagoda.
"This isn't a solution either. Why don't you accept Ziyu?"
Gu Xiuxun tidied up her skirt as she suggested.
(How annoying, it's all over my clothes!)
"You are the only one I love!"
Sun Mo hugged the masochist.
"Pui!"
Gu Xiuxun rolled her eyes. "I discovered that you are getting better and better at lying to women."
Although she said this, the masochist still felt sweetness in her heart as though she had eaten honey.
"Honestly speaking, it's not a solution for you guys to drag things on like this. Ziyu clearly won't marry anyone but you!"
Gu Xiuxun was speechless. "Capable men would have multiple wives and concubines. What are you feeling conflicted about?"
"I'm afraid I'll really become a scumbag!"
Sun Mo bitterly smiled.
The two of them walked out of the pagoda and discussed where they should go next.
Gu Xiuxun saw the luxurious carriages passing by. The young ladies in the carriages would occasionally lift the curtains a little and sneak peeks at Sun Mo, revealing gazes of envy and jealousy toward her. She felt very blissful.
(Such an outstanding man is now mine.)
Sun Mo's days were getting more and more difficult. This was especially so when Mei Ziyu looked at him with an aggrieved gaze. He would feel a strong sense of guilt.
Luckily, An Xin was confined by the old headmaster. Otherwise, if there was another person, Sun Mo would really be hard-pressed.
"If I don't know how to rear fish, how can I be a sea king?"
Sun Mo despised himself.
Just when he was hesitating about when he should lay his cards on the table with Mei Ziyu, Headmaster Ji of the Skyraise Academy sent him an invitation.
Headmaster Ji's words were sincere. He wanted to invite Sun Mo to the Skyraise Academy for an exchange of half a year.
"Why not?"
Gu Xiuxun was so envious that her eyes turned green. "That's the number one famous school in the Nine Provinces. Also, from Headmaster Ji's words, he seems to hold you in high regard. This is a great opportunity to get closer to him."
A hundred years ago, Ji Shiwen had created an era that belonged to him. It could be said that he was the number one great teacher in the Nine Provinces. He was also the one who had brought the Skyraise Academy to the throne of a top-tier school in the Nine Provinces. No one could shake the position of this famous school.
After that, Su Taiqing appeared out of nowhere. In addition, Ji Shiwen stayed in school and didn't go out, focusing on his research. This was why people had forgotten about him.
"Chatting with such a major character is also a great harvest!"
Gu Xiuxun pulled Sun Mo's arm and pleaded, "Can you bring me there?"
The next day, Sun Mo went to look for An Xiaoxin, wanting to apply for a long leave.
"Headmaster Ji has already sent a letter, asking me not to stop you no matter what!"
The old headmaster pushed up his spectacles. "It's good for you to go to the Skyraise Academy to take a look. Remember, watch more and talk less."
"Mn!"
Sun Mo nodded.
"The great teachers there can be said to be the best in the Nine Provinces. They are very arrogant, and there's an 80 to 90% chance that they will test you. Don't be a coward.
The old headmaster encouraged.
Since he wanted to broaden his horizons, Sun Mo naturally brought the Calabash Brothers along. However, only Lu Zhiruo, Ying Baiwu, and Qin Yaoguang remained by his side.
Tantai Yutang went to the northern plains to provide assistance to Helian Beifang. As for Jiang Leng, he went to the Darkness Continent to temper himself.
Three days later, Sun Mo set off.
Gu Xiuxun and Mei Ziyu also came along.
"Sigh, I originally planned to spend some alone time with Sun Mo, but in the end, there are so many little tails following behind me!"
The masochist felt helpless as well.
...
The Skyraise Academy regarded Sun Mo with great importance. When they arrived, Ji Shiwen personally came out to welcome them. One must know that Ji Shiwen was a saint. Such respect and courtesy were already extremely grand.
"Let's stay here first and tour around the school!"
Ji Shiwen was already over 200 years old, but his hair was black and there were no wrinkles on his face. He had the appearance of a middle-aged man.
This meant that he was very powerful and had stepped into the Longevity Realm very early on!
