No one's life was perfect. As long as one was human, as long as they were alive, they would constantly have regrets!
Fang Hong's favorite childhood sweetheart had died of illness, so her love had died as well. Although Fang Hong got married and had children, she didn't like her husband. Therefore, she spent all her time working.
Fang Hong's greatest regret in this life was that she couldn't grow old together with her childhood sweetheart and give birth to a son and a daughter for him.
This matter had been tormenting Fang Hong, becoming a nightmare in her dreams. It was like how many guys would forget their first love even after they got married.
Fang Hong knew that she shouldn't have such a mentality, but humans were emotional creatures. Emotions couldn't be restrained by rationality.
"His poison is my nectar!"
Fang Hong stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the painting. However, she stopped when she was close to it. She was worried that she would damage it.
"To you guys, this isn't a famous painting. In fact, it's meaningless. But to me, it's my love!"
Fang Hong's tears streaked across her cheeks, scattering down like pearls from a broken necklace.
Everyone fell silent.
Everyone's regrets were different, but without exception, they were all unforgettable. If one ignored them, they would have long since forgotten about them.
"Teacher Sun, thank you!"
In this painting, Fang Hong saw her beautiful first love. She relived that period of time, those happy memories, and the lover in her heart, which caused her feelings to burst forth. It became an opportunity for her to step into the Saint Realm in one step.
"Saint Fang, those memories that we're unwilling to forget are the most priceless gems. They can motivate us, protect us, or comfort us. They are the proof that we're still alive in this world."
Sun Mo understood Fang Hong.
The atmosphere was a little heavy because everyone started to reminisce about their past. Only Second Sage Zhou sat cross-legged in front of the statue, looking straight into its eyes and questioning his heart.
"I suddenly feel that Second Sage Zhou is very pitiful!"
"That's right. He could have offended anyone, but he had to offend Second Sage Sun? This is great. He can't even keep his integrity! "
"No matter how he struggles, he's going to lose for sure!"
In everyone's opinion, Second Sage Zhou had no chance of winning. His performance in the Heavenly Stairway wasn't bad. As for the other rounds, he was simply beaten up.
Not only did Sun Mo perform outstandingly, but he also helped others to comprehend great teacher halos and helped a secondary saint become a saint. What did secondary saint Zhou have to compete with him?
"Eldest Senior Sister, have you vented your anger?"
Qin Yaoguang used her elbow to poke Li Ziqi.
"Why do I feel that Teacher is like a demon king?"
Lu Zhiruo suddenly felt that the pressure her teacher gave off to Second Sage Zhou was like that of a great demon king, causing one to feel despair.
"Everyone, please keep quiet!"
Xu Chunbo reminded him. Regardless of whether he had a chance to win or not, as long as the competition hadn't ended, Second Saint Zhou had the right to continue.
"Let's go celebrate!"
Gu Xiuxun suggested.
Of course, Sun Mo wouldn't wait here to see Secondary Saint Zhou's performance. As for celebrating, he didn't really care. However, many high-ranking great teachers wanted to take this chance to get in touch with him.
Even if Sun Mo wasn't willing, he had to maintain the ways of the world.
Thus, everyone drank all night long.
Secondary Saint Zhou's group of friends and relatives were filled with righteous indignation. The competition clearly hadn't ended, but everyone felt that Sun Mo would win for sure. It was really infuriating.
In the next few days, Sun Mo's temporary residence was bustling with people. All of them were guests who came to visit him.
Great teachers below 6-star didn't even have the right to visit him. If people from the secular world wanted to visit him, their status had to be at least at the level of a prince, princess, or prime minister.
...
After sending off another wave of guests, Sun Mo leaned back on his chair in exhaustion.
"Teacher, haven't you stepped into the legendary realm? Why do you still feel tired? "
Lu Zhiruo massaged Sun Mo's shoulders as she asked.
"It's not my body that's tired, but my heart!" Sun Mo felt helpless. "I feel that I won't be able to stay in this job for more than a few years before I quit. It's too troublesome to welcome and send people off."
"Teacher, are you still pretending to be obedient after getting the benefits? Many people want to be the sect leader but can't become one! "
Ying Baiwu teased.
"Hehe!"
Sun Mo picked up his teacup and was about to drink a mouthful when he suddenly sensed a tremendous spirit qi fluctuation.
A short while later, Li Ziqi and the others also sensed it. All of them raised their heads and looked out of the window.
In the direction of the Saint Great Hall, a tremendous amount of spirit qi was gathering there.
"This..."
Ying Baiwu was shocked. "Is he trying to strive for the saint realm?"
"Let's go to the Saint Gate!"
Sun Mo got up and headed toward the Saint Gate. Almost at the instant he arrived, the spirit qi fluctuation vanished. What replaced it were all sorts of auspicious spirit beasts formed from spirit qi running around.
Pak!
Li Ziqi crushed a spirit rabbit under her foot. When she saw the spirit qi dissipating, her lips twitched unhappily.
It was because this phenomenon represented that Secondary Saint Zhou had succeeded.
When Sun Mo and Secondary Saint Zhou met again, the latter clasped his hands in a carefree manner. His previous deadpan expression that seemed like his wife had run away with a wild man was gone. He was extremely confident.
"Many thanks, Teacher Sun, for giving me pressure and wishing me to become a saint!"
Secondary Saint Zhou's words were beautiful, but as long as one's brain wasn't damaged, they would know that this was sarcasm. After all, he and Sun Mo could be considered arch-enemies.
Now that Secondary Saint Zhou had become a saint, he had once again suppressed Sun Mo.
In the Nine Provinces, saints were simply impressive. They were the heavens. If you weren't convinced, I'd beat you until you were convinced!
"My teacher is only 40 years old this year!"
Lu Zhiruo's lips twitched and she retorted.
(Why are you so proud?
Is it something to be proud of to become a saint at such an old age?)
Secondary Saint Zhou's countenance instantly turned unsightly.
Honestly speaking, if it was someone else who said this, they'd definitely be criticized for being arrogant. It was because it wasn't possible to become a saint just because one wanted to. However, this didn't seem to be the case for Sun Mo. After all, he was the youngest secondary saint who had broken records consecutively.
Xu Chunbo felt a headache. He didn't expect that there would be a change in the already determined result.
"I'll say something fair. Even though Teacher Zhou is already a saint, the position of the sect leader should still be given to Sun Mo!"
Ji Xiangdong spoke.
"On what basis?"
Saint Zhou's group of friends and relatives were unhappy.
"On the basis that Sun Mo is young and is a secondary saint. He's qualified enough!"
After Ji Xiangdong said this, many people started to chime in. The volume of their voices was so loud that they drowned out the group of friends and relatives.
"I didn't expect Teacher's prestige to be so high!"
Lu Zhiruo was very happy.
Li Ziqi chuckled. The thoughts of these people were very simple. Saint Zhou was already so old, so how many more years could he have? After he died, the world would belong to Sun Mo.
To put it bluntly, even if he didn't die, he might not be able to win against Sun Mo in this world.
Of course, the more important thing was that Saint Zhou had been famous for too long and had a deep-rooted network of relationships. Outsiders like them wouldn't be able to integrate into it.
However, Sun Mo was different. He was a loner and this was the time for him to build his influence. If they joined now, they'd definitely be able to get more benefits.
"Although it's important for us great teachers to improve our own accomplishments, teaching and educating others is our responsibility and pursuit. Compared to becoming a saint ourselves, Secondary Saint Sun helping others comprehend great teacher halos and helping secondary saints to become saints is a great achievement!"
Ji Xiangdong continued.
"That's right, Secondary Saint Sun has helped two secondary saints to become saints!"
After a 7-star great teacher said this, he was stunned again.
(Eh?
Wait a minute, two secondary saints?
Other than Saint Fang, why can't I remember the name of the other one?)
Xu Chunbo was an old-school great teacher and couldn't stand such a noisy atmosphere. Just when he wanted to stop them, he was stopped by Wei Ziyou.
"It's good to quarrel a little. This way, everyone will know their own limitations."
Wei Ziyou was fond of Sun Mo and there were so many people supporting him. Hence, he hoped that Saint Zhou would back off.
Saint Zhou felt very depressed. He didn't expect that he still didn't have any face even after becoming a saint. However, he understood the thoughts of these people.
"Everyone, stop quarreling!"
Saint Zhou spoke. The moment his words were spoken, everyone fell silent. Even the bugs in the corners couldn't make a sound. "I don't care about the position of the sect leader!"
In truth, Saint Zhou had wanted it before, but now, he had gotten over it. "The reason why I was fortunate enough to become a saint was because I wanted to compete against Sun Yasheng."
"Even if I have to pay the price of my life, I don't care!"
This was also the biggest reason why Saint Zhou had become a saint. He had gone all out.
"With regards to Li Ziqi's problem, I have a clear conscience because in my eyes, she's worthless."
This sentence caused the little sunny egg to clench her fists tightly. Sun Mo's gaze also turned sharp.
"There's no point in talking so much. Let's see who's stronger!"
Saint Zhou suggested, "Let's use the old method of resolving disputes in the great teacher world!"
Hua ~
A commotion rang out and everyone became excited.
They were going to compete in teaching abilities!
The old method was to have three rounds.
In the Nine Provinces, the age at which a child enters school is 12 years old. Hence, for the first round, the two great teachers would each choose a 12-year-old youth and conduct a three-month period of guidance. After that, they would have a duel. Whoever wins would represent whose teacher is superior!
In the second round, the two great teachers would each choose a student who was ranked at the bottom of the school and guide them for three months. After that, they would have a duel to see their performance.
Of course, if the duel was a fight between two weaklings, it wouldn't be considered a victory. The students had to perform outstandingly.
In the third round, the two great teachers would each choose a student of the same age to fight. This round would be a test of the judgment and experience of the two great teachers.
Sun Mo knew about this. After all, the responsibility of a great teacher was to educate others. These three rounds would return to the essence.
"Secondary Saint Sun, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Saint Zhou was overbearing.
Mei Ziyu wanted to persuade Sun Mo not to be rash. This stage could be said to be the best in the Nine Provinces. Saint Zhou's greatest flaw was Li Ziqi. If he won against Sun Mo, he would be able to wash away his previous humiliation and prove that he was more outstanding than Sun Mo.
Leaving aside the fact that Sun Mo wouldn't have the face to assume the position of the sect leader after he lost, even if he sat on the chair, others would still feel that Saint Zhou was stronger than the sect leader.
As for saying that he would lose?
Secondary Saint Zhou's confidence was off the charts!
