"I bought it!"
Sun Mo replied. There was no value in hiding such a thing.
"Bought it?"
Yi Jiamin frowned and assessed Sun Mo carefully. Could it be that this guy was a tycoon? Even if such a potted plant wasn't expensive, it wouldn't be cheap either.
"Where did you buy it?"
Xiao Hong asked.
"After exiting the school's entrance, walk to the right. After a few streets, there will be a flower shop."
Since it was a teacher's birthday and a classmate's birthday, one had to send a bouquet of flowers to express their feelings, right? Hence, there were quite a few flower shops near the school's entrance.
Sun Mo had casually picked this potted plant.
"Teacher Sun, it's fine if you don't wish to say it. Why must you play with us?"
Xiao Hong's expression sank. She was a 2-star great teacher and a major character at the divine force realm. Hence, she had a natural sense of superiority toward a new teacher like Sun Mo.
Her tone didn't care about other people's feelings at all.
"I'm speaking the truth, but you don't believe me and are blaming me?"
Sun Mo immediately retorted, "In that case, please keep your mouth shut in the future!"
Si ~
Hearing Sun Mo rebutting Xiao Hong, everyone was shocked and looked at Sun Mo with their eyes and mouths wide open. They had long since heard that this guy's mouth was very venomous and gutsy. When he bit someone, he would be extremely fierce.
"Amazing, as expected of Black Doggy Sun!"
Jiang Yongnian's lips twitched. Even though he was a 1-star great teacher, he wouldn't retort after being retorted by Xiao Hong. It wasn't worth it.
Gao Cheng and Du Xiao looked at Sun Mo with mixed feelings. However, their feelings eventually turned into envy. They also wanted to be so arrogant!
In this office, Xiao Hong often reprimanded Gao Cheng and Du Xiao because she was older and had a high status. They couldn't resist and could only smile.
"What did you say?"
Xiao Hong glared like a fighting chicken that wanted to peck at someone.
"Alright! Alright! Don't quarrel over such a small matter! "
Xia Yuan quickly mediated and changed the topic. "Teacher Sun, this potted plant is a Spirit-Gathering Rune, right?"
"That's right!"
Sun Mo's attitude toward this elder sister of his who had a good personality was naturally very good.
Hearing Sun Mo's firm reply, Xia Yuan smiled. She was half-teasing and half-probing as she asked, "You couldn't have drawn it, right?"
"I was the one!"
Sun Mo naturally wouldn't deny it.
In school, modesty wouldn't win respect, but strength would. The more outstanding Sun Mo was, the more respect others would have for him.
"Impossible!"
Yi Jiamin cried out as if he had just seen the goddess he had a crush on being sullied by a beggar. "Do you know how difficult it is to draw Spirit-Gathering Runes on the leaves of such green plants? Did you draw it? You've blown your trumpet. "
"Of course I know."
Seeing Yi Jiamin's flustered and exasperated appearance, Sun Mo smiled instead. "It's indeed a little difficult, but it will be fine after a few more practice sessions."
"Is it a matter of practicing a few more times?"
Yi Jiamin felt that Sun Mo was insulting the study of spirit runes. "You are truly ignorant and fearless. If this were to spread out, all the spirit rune masters in the Central Province would laugh their heads off! How can someone like you, who doesn't even know common sense, be fit to be a spirit rune teacher? "
There was no way Yi Jiamin wouldn't be angry. Sun Mo was An Xinhui's fiance, and Sun Mo had God Hands. Sun Mo's attendance had already broken the record.
Just these three points alone made Yi Jiamin want nothing more than to smash Sun Mo's head. And now, Sun Mo was starting to sully his most beloved study of spirit runes.
Yi Jiamin had been immersed in this subject for 20 years since he started learning it. When he saw this potted plant, he also had a look of amazement on his face.
He knew that even if he was given another ten years, he wouldn't be able to reach this standard. However, Sun Mo actually said that this was drawn by him? Could it be that he was the reincarnation of some great ancestor-level spirit runist?
If Yi Jiamin believed Sun Mo's words, his worldview would crumble. Moreover, he would sink into an extremely low self-esteem. Could it be that his 20 years of hard work in studying spirit runes had all been for nothing?
"Teacher Yi, please mind your attitude!"
Sun Mo frowned and spoke in an unyielding tone, "Even if you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't!"
"In that case, draw one for me!"
Yi Jiamin bellowed.
"Do you think I'll draw just because you told me to? Who do you think you are?"
Sun Mo retorted. He mustn't back out at this step. Otherwise, everyone would feel that he was a pushover in the future. As long as he displayed his sharp teeth, others would feel trepidation.
Yi Jiamin still wanted to argue, but he was stopped by the good guy Zhou Shanyi. "Alright, let's not talk so much!"
"Teacher Sun, why did you suddenly think of drawing this?"
Gao Cheng already believed half of it. After all, if such a lie was exposed, he'd lose face. However, he still wanted to verify it.
"To increase the physique of my students!"
Sun Mo's reply was as it should be, but everyone was given a fright.
"You... you're saying that the few potted plants you gave to your students also have spirit-gathering runes drawn on them?"
Pan Yi was shocked.
"Otherwise? Who would be so bored as to carry a potted plant and wander around? Wouldn't they find it tiring? "
Sun Mo smiled.
When the others saw this, they couldn't bring themselves to smile. The entire office was deathly silent.
Even Xiao Hong's brows were tightly knitted together.
The color on Yi Jiamin's face had faded completely. He was so pale that it was terrifying. It could be a coincidence if it was just a potted plant, but if there were a few of them, then it was basically the truth.
(Sun Mo actually has such deep attainments in the study of spirit runes? I don't believe it!)
Everyone's gazes assessed Sun Mo, not knowing what to say for a moment. This was especially so when they thought of the various benefits of such potted plants. Their hearts itched unbearably.
"Hehe, Teacher Sun, since this potted plant is drawn by you, then it's easy to talk about it. Can you part with your treasures and sell me one?"
Pan Yi spoke up.
"Not selling!"
Sun Mo rejected very straightforwardly.
"Eh!"
Pan Yi also felt very uncomfortable from the rebuttal. He really wanted to ask if Sun Mo knew anything about interpersonal relationships. (Is your EQ zero?)
"Teacher Sun, since you aren't selling, it should be very difficult to draw such a potted plant, right?"
This time around, Gao Cheng was the one mediating. His status wasn't high enough, but in order to build a good relationship with Sun Mo, he could only do it.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Gao Cheng + 20. Neutral (27/100).
"Bootlicker!"
Pan Yi glared at Gao Cheng.
"It's still alright!"
Since Gao Cheng was speaking up for him, Sun Mo couldn't possibly rebut him. However, with his near-ancestor-grade drawing technique, it really wasn't difficult to draw this.
Jiang Yongnian and Xia Yuan's minds spun quickly and immediately thought of a crucial point. Sun Mo didn't bring anything with him when he came to the Central Province Academy. Moreover, the news about the potted plant had only spread out recently. This meant that Sun Mo would take at most a day to complete such a potted plant.
"As expected of a genius!"
The gazes of the two of them when looking at Sun Mo were different now. There was an additional trace of equality.
This was the respect won by one's strength.
Naturally, the two of them didn't say this out loud. Instead, they planned to look for Sun Mo privately to see if they could buy a potted plant.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Jiang Yongnian + 20. Neutral (21/100).
Favorable impression points from Xia Yuan + 30. Prestige connection unlocked. Neutral (30/100).
"+ 30 right off the bat?"
The number of favorable impression points contributed by Xia Yuan shocked Sun Mo. Wasn't this a little too much? They had only met a few times, yet she had already become his fangirl?
"Xia Yuan is from the same faction as you and has always been friendly to you. Also, with your God Hands and attainments in the study of spirit runes, she felt that you are a genius. Since she also has something to ask of you, she naturally contributed a large amount of favorable impression points."
The system explained.
"Understood!"
Sun Mo organized his lesson plans, carried the potted plant, and left the office.
Yi Jiamin subconsciously lifted his hand, wanting to grab that potted plant.
Bang!
Sun Mo left and the door closed. However, everyone still crowded around Sun Mo's desk, feeling complicated in their hearts.
"Sun Mo is going to soar into the sky in a single bound!"
Jiang Yongnian sighed ruefully.
"I can't block it, I can't block it. Young people nowadays are truly terrifying!"
Zhou Shanyi shook his head and sighed ruefully. At the same time, he felt a little inferior. An old fellow like him had truly lived for so many years for nothing!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Zhou Shanyi + 15. Neutral (16/100).
Du Xiao snuck a glance at Yi Jiamin. She felt like laughing when she saw the pale face of this guy who usually looked down on others, as though he had suffered a blow.
What did Yi Jiamin say earlier? That Sun Mo only knew how to draw a single Spirit-Gathering Rune? That he was a beginner? Just based on his ability to draw Spirit-Gathering Runes on plants, he had the qualifications to stand on the rostrum.
Moreover, since Sun Mo could draw the Spirit-Gathering Rune so well, then his other skills wouldn't be bad either!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Du Xiao + 30. Neutral (40/100).
This time around, Du Xiao had really guessed wrongly. Other than the Spirit-Gathering Rune, Sun Mo only knew the Black Tortoise Spirit Rune that he had just learned. However, he hadn't drawn it before.
Yi Jiamin's footsteps staggered as he walked toward the door. If he continued to stay here, he would die of embarrassment. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Xia Yuan's words.
"From Yi Jiamin's tone, this potted plant is very impressive. This means that Sun Mo's proficiency in the study of spirit runes is already unfathomable, right?"
Zhou Shanyi's lips twitched. "I don't know if he can be compared to Great Teacher He Yuanjin, but I dare to say that he would definitely thrash Yi Jiamin!"
Yi Jiamin's face instantly turned ashen. He felt dizzy as a piercing pain spread out in his chest. This was simply a great humiliation.
...
Ying Baiwu was used to being independent and self-reliant since she was young. Hence, she did things swiftly and decisively. In just two days, she had arranged everything and came to the school to report.
"Let me introduce you guys. This is my sixth personal disciple and also your junior martial sister."
Sun Mo introduced everyone.
"Hello, little junior martial sister!"
As the eldest martial sister, Li Ziqi was the first to greet her.
Xuanyuan Po swept a glance over and no longer paid any attention to her. Jiang Leng nodded. As for Tantai Yutang, he was curiously surveying Ying Baiwu.
"Teacher, did you beat that Yang Cai half to death in the headmaster office because of her?"
Tantai Yutang's attitude had always been so sloppy.
Ying Baiwu was unhappy and glared over. Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was clear. (You have something against me? Just say it!
At most, we can just fight!)
Ying Baiwu naturally wouldn't show mercy just because Tantai Yutang was a sickly invalid.
Lu Zhiruo originally wanted to greet them, but when she saw Ying Baiwu's appearance, she was so frightened that she shrank back behind Sun Mo.
"Alright, everyone will be a family in the future. Don't quarrel!"
Li Ziqi persuaded. However, she sighed in her heart. Her teacher seemed to have taken in another thorn. Her style of doing things seemed to be even more headstrong compared to Xuanyuan Po.
There wasn't any difficulty in teaching students. Sun Mo only needed to answer their questions. After that, he just needed to let them cultivate.
After the lesson ended, Li Ziqi grinned and came over. "Teacher, Teacher, why don't you guess why I'm so happy?"
"You leveled up?"
Sun Mo smiled. Was there a need to guess? He would know with a single sweep of Divine Sight.
Ding!
