Cai Tan and Ruan Yun were definitely true love. Sun Mo didn't know how he should handle this. If he punished Ruan Yun, Cai Tan might even be heartbroken.
"Forget it, let's wait and see first!"
If Cai Tan's condition didn't improve, Sun Mo would definitely not allow the situation to worsen!
Dong dong!
Sun Mo knocked on the door to the headmaster's office.
"Sit!"
An Xinhui brewed tea.
"There's no need to trouble yourself. I'm here to ask if I can enter the old principal's library to take a look."
Sun Mo didn't like to be polite.
"You should call me grandpa!"
An Xinhui reproached. When they were young, because of her grandfather's admiration and love for Sun Mo's father, she would always let Sun Mo call him grandfather.
"I think the old headmaster can represent my respect more!"
Sun Mo was a traditional person and placed great importance on such titles. (Who are you to me? You want me to call you grandpa?) This was also because he knew that An Xinhui didn't have any ill intentions. Otherwise, he would have shot back at her.
"Alright!"
An Xinhui sighed. Although Sun Mo's words sounded nice, she could hear the coldness in Sun Mo's voice. She returned to her office desk, pulled open the drawer, and took out a key.
"Here …"
Just when An Xinhui wanted to pass the key to Sun Mo, she changed her mind. "Let's go. I'll accompany you and introduce the layout of the library to you."
An Xinhui wasn't worried that Sun Mo would damage those books. Rather, she wanted to improve their relationship. Before this, she had chatted with Jin Mujie and knew that Sun Mo's performance in this tour was extremely good. Even Fang Wuji was inviting him to work in the Myriad Daos Academy.
The old headmaster was a secondary saint. In this lifetime, he had been to many places and collected many ancient books. Most of them came from various relics in the Darkness Continent.
These books were stored in the old headmaster's private library. Other than the great teachers who had contributed to the school, no one was allowed to borrow them.
It was not that the old headmaster was stingy and unwilling to share, but he knew very well that the easier it was to obtain something, the less people would treasure it.
The library was located in the north of the villa area. It was a three-story stone building. Because there were tall spruce trees planted around it, the environment was quiet and beautiful.
An Xinhui opened the door of the stone building but didn't enter immediately. She stood at the entrance and waited.
A minute later, a two-meter-tall warrior appeared. It was clad in heavy armor, and even its head was completely covered by a helmet. It could be said that it was fully armed.
He couldn't see its face, and its eyes were emitting a dark red light. It looked very strange.
Its armor was tattered and full of scratches, but even so, it exuded a murderous aura. Its weapon was a samurai longsword. Although it was not unsheathed, it seemed ready to slash at the enemy's neck at any time.
Sun Mo felt a sense of pressure that made it hard for him to breathe.
After the warrior looked at An Xinhui, his gaze landed on Sun Mo.
"It's the guardian warrior of the library. Without my permission, anyone who enters here will be killed by it!"
An Xinhui explained.
"This is Sun Mo, a teacher from the Central Province Academy!" An Xinhui paused for a moment and added, "He's also my fiancé!"
The warrior, who was originally standing still, suddenly took two large steps forward and walked up to Sun Mo. After that, he lowered his head and got close to Sun Mo's face, staring into his eyes.
"Could this be a living puppet?"
Sun Mo was curious.
In the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, there was a subject called puppetry. It specialized in researching and creating war puppets, mechanical puppets, etc.
Under this subject, there were a few branches. The most mysterious and terrifying one was to turn living humans into puppets.
"No!"
An Xinhui hurriedly clarified. It was because the Living Puppet Technique was an evil path and a forbidden art. It was a subject forbidden by the Saint Gate to research.
Sun Mo recalled that his original self had come here once when he was young. After that, he was frightened by this warrior puppet and never came here to play again.
"It's one of the protectors of the Central Province Academy. It doesn't like to be struck up a conversation with or touched by others!"
An Xinhui introduced. After she led Sun Mo through a corridor, they entered the stone building. "The first floor contains the books of famous experts in the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, such as the Great Philosophers Encyclopedia. Some of them are unique copies, so try not to damage them."
"Understood!"
Sun Mo glanced over. The bookshelves were filled with books, and there was a fragrance wafting in the air. This was to get rid of mosquitoes and prevent the books from being eaten by bugs.
"The second floor contains some books from the Darkness Continent. The third floor contains grandpa's reading notes."
An Xinhui passed the key to Sun Mo.
"Can I go to the third floor?"
The reading notes of secondary saints were very important experiences and efforts. Usually, they wouldn't be lent out.
"You can go!"
An Xinhui explained, "Actually, there's also the underground library. The most important books of the Central Province Academy are stored there, but grandpa has set a rule. Those who can't finish reading the books on the third floor aren't qualified to go underground."
"Understood!"
Sun Mo understood. There was a threshold to knowledge. If one couldn't even understand the books on the third floor, it would be a waste of time if they went underground.
Hu ~
An Xinhui heaved a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Sun Mo would be angry and feel that she was unreasonable. But from the looks of things now, he was a very easy person to talk to.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from An Xinhui + 10. Friendly (470/1,000).
Sun Mo threw a glance at An Xinhui, mentally musing why she would contribute favorable impression points. As expected, the thoughts of women were always baffling.
However, An Xinhui was truly beautiful.
Li Ziqi, Lu Zhiruo, and even Ying Baiwu were all beauties. However, they were too young. The unripe aura they exuded made it clear that they were still childish. Other than perverts, there wouldn't be any men who would be moved by them.
Jin Mujie was also very beautiful and had a well-developed figure. However, when most men saw her, they would first look at her breasts and then look at her buttocks. After that, they would turn into stone and want to roll in bed with her.
Love? (Step aside first, let me settle my physiological needs first!)
There was no solution to it. Jin Mujie was a top-grade beauty.
As for Gu Xiuxun, she was also beautiful, but compared to An Xinhui, she lacked confidence and a hint of maturity. Clearly, she was a young woman who had just entered society.
Men wouldn't feel any pressure if they were to fall in love with such a girl.
An Xinhui was 23 years old. Although she was only three years older than Gu Xiuxun, because of her experiences, her disposition was too different.
Although there was fatigue from work in her eyes, her gaze was resolute and exuded a sense of pride. This was a woman who would never admit defeat.
Any man would feel immense pressure when they were together with her. It was because she was too outstanding, so outstanding that it caused others to feel inferior.
Love? It didn't exist!
When men faced An Xinhui, there was an 80% to 90% chance that they wouldn't be able to get into stone. There was no other reason. When she looked at you, she would always wear a scrutinizing expression, making you feel like you were facing a strict interviewer when you were looking for a job. The first thing you thought of wasn't love but whether you did something wrong or not. (How can I do my best so that I can be worthy of her?)
Sun Mo didn't wish to be a bootlicker. Hence, he naturally didn't have any thoughts of fawning on An Xinhui. After she introduced the library, Sun Mo prepared to walk around by himself.
"I'll have to trouble you then!"
As Sun Mo spoke, he lifted his hand and cast Encyclopedic Knowledge on himself.
One couldn't help but say that great teacher halos were truly powerful. After the casting was completed, his mind immediately cleared up and he reached the most optimal state for learning.
"Encyclopedic Knowledge?"
An Xinhui was astonished. It had been over half a month since they last met. Why did Sun Mo comprehend another great teacher halo? She tried to endure it, but in the end, she couldn't hold it in and asked, "Little Momo, how many great teacher halos do you know now?"
"Six!"
Sun Mo's words were concise and comprehensive. He searched for books that introduced spirit qi in detail. He wanted to understand why the papaya girl's spirit qi absorption rate was so terrifying.
"Th... how many?"
An Xinhui thought that she had heard wrongly.
"Six!"
Sun Mo walked past the bookshelf.
"..."
An Xinhui's mouth turned into an 'O' shape. Her mouth was wide enough to stuff a banana inside. Six? Was this a joke? How long had it been since Sun Mo graduated? No, he had only been a teacher for over four months. How did he manage to comprehend so many halos?
Even a genius like her wouldn't be able to comprehend them so quickly!
"Grandpa's judgment is really unparalleled!"
An Xinhui bitterly smiled. She was suddenly dealt a heavy blow.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from An Xinhui + 100. Friendly (570/1,000).
"Oh right, can my students come here to browse through the books?"
Sun Mo thought of Li Ziqi. As for the other students, Tantai Yutang might be able to do so as well. But even if the others were to browse through the books, they most probably wouldn't be of much use.
"The rules don't allow it, but I can make an exception for you!"
An Xinhui smiled. She had wanted to chat a little more, but in the end, she saw Sun Mo continuing to read after getting the answer. He had no intention of talking to her at all.
This was really a great blow to her heart!
An Xinhui smiled in self-mockery and turned to leave.
Sun Mo walked around the first floor but didn't find any related books. When he was preparing to head to the second floor to take a look, he suddenly heard the system notification.
Ding!
"Congratulations on saving Cai Tan and completing the mission. At the same time, you also saved Ruan Yun, preventing her from falling into depravity. You are hereby rewarded with a silver treasure chest. Please continue to work hard!"
A treasure chest that was flashing with silver light landed before Sun Mo.
Ding!
"Your prestige connection with Cai Tan and Ruan Yun has increased at the same time. You are hereby rewarded with two black-iron treasure chests. Please continue to work hard."
"Keep it!"
Without the papaya girl by his side, as an unlucky guy, Sun Mo would definitely not open the treasure chests. He continued to read, but he suddenly felt very uncomfortable. It was like something was spying on him.
Swish!
Sun Mo quickly turned his head, but he didn't see anything. After that, he walked to the back of a bookshelf and waited for a few seconds. Just when he was about to stretch his head out to take a look, he saw a head wearing a helmet stretching out.
Its eyes flashed with red light. It was truly terrifying.
"F * ck your mom!"
Sun Mo abruptly leaned back.
The guardian warrior didn't expect to come face to face with Sun Mo and immediately turned to leave. Maybe because he turned too quickly, his head fell onto the ground with a bang.
"..."
Sun Mo was speechless. He could only watch as the headless warrior ran away like a wisp of smoke.
(My heavens, where's the imposing manner of you exuding killing intent earlier? If you continue to act like this, you'll make me very disappointed, alright?)
That head rolled to Sun Mo's feet!
