The autumn leaves drifted down slowly, like the hands of a lover brushing the earth.
When Xia Yuan heard this, she revealed an envious expression. There was no need to ask. From Cao Xian's attitude, she knew that he admired Sun Mo quite a lot. This time around, he came to the school to headhunt Sun Mo.
"When will I be able to enjoy such treatment?"
Xia Yuan sighed ruefully.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Xia Yuan + 50. Friendly (320/1,000).
"Teacher Xia, are you free? Let's go together? "
Cao Xian's EQ was very high. He invited Xia Yuan along the way, giving her face.
Xia Yuan wanted to go very much. Leaving aside Cao Xian's identity as the Myriad Daos Academy's headmaster, just the fact that he was a 5-star great teacher made this a rare opportunity.
During the meal, she could ask some questions that no one would be able to answer normally. She would definitely benefit a lot.
Naturally, Xia Yuan also understood the ways of the world. Hence, even though she wanted to go very much, she still smiled and rejected. "I won't disturb the two of you."
Cao Xian nodded and looked at Sun Mo.
"Headmaster Cao wants to headhunt me, right?"
Sun Mo went straight to the point. How would he have the time to socialize and eat? The league tournament would begin in another three months. This concerned the Central Province Academy's ranking. Hence, Sun Mo had to make good use of his time to charge up and increase his strength. He also had to teach students in passing.
"Eh!"
Cao Xian didn't expect Sun Mo to be so direct. He glanced at Xia Yuan and nodded awkwardly.
"Sorry, I have no intention of leaving the Central Province Academy for now!"
Sun Mo didn't forget the mission issued by the system. He had to lead the school to the 'C' grade this year.
"Don't you want to hear my price?"
Cao Xian smiled. He had headhunted many great teachers before and was very experienced. Sun Mo said this to raise his value.
Sun Mo smiled, not interested. Right now, he was the logistics department head of the Central Province Academy and had a high status. He also had the eight-gate cloud and occupied the Wind King Hall that was filled with spirit crystals.
Cultivation resources?
Sun Mo didn't lack them. If he had spirit crystals, what couldn't he exchange for?
Moreover, even if he didn't have them, the papaya girl still had a spirit qi roaming dragon that was proficient in treasure hunting. If he went to the Darkness Continent, he would surely be able to find a spirit stone mine.
As for cultivation arts?
Sorry, Sun Mo had four peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts. No matter how generous Cao Xian was, he couldn't possibly give him a saint-tier cultivation art, right?
"First, you can name your salary. I will satisfy you."
"Secondly, all the books and manuals that the Myriad Daos Academy has collected over the years are all open to you!"
"Thirdly, I will train you as a candidate for the future headmaster. If you are outstanding enough, my position will be yours in ten years."
Cao Xian made his offer.
Xia Yuan was dumbfounded. This price could be said to be very sincere.
Look at how domineering Headmaster Cao was. As long as Sun Mo dared to ask for his salary, Headmaster Cao would give it to him.
Zhang Hanfu and Yuan Chengtian, who were eavesdropping in the forest, also had astonished looks on their faces. Or was Cao Xian blind?
You dare to set such a price? Aren't you afraid that the teachers of the Myriad Daos Academy wouldn't be convinced?
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Headmaster Cao!"
Sun Mo shook her head.
Cao Xian frowned. You're not even going to agree to such good conditions? However, he didn't show any signs of impatience or depression. Instead, he continued to persuade her calmly.
"In the Central Province Academy, with An Xinhui around, you'll at most be able to rise to the position of vice-headmaster. Moreover, to speak the truth, I don't think highly of your marriage. The woman is strong while the man is weak. Don't you feel that you'll be looked down upon by others? Why don't you come to the Myriad Daos Academy and prove that you're stronger than An Xinhui? "
These words were really provocative. After all, who didn't want to prove themselves?
Even though Sun Mo had the God Hands now and no one said that he was sponging off a woman, everyone still felt that he wasn't worthy of An Xinhui. There was no other reason than that An Xinhui's halo was too dazzling.
One could say that An Xinhui was a well-known figure among the youngsters of this generation. Her fame and strength were definitely in the top ten.
"I'm not interested in becoming a headmaster. I only want to teach students!"
It was true that Sun Mo wasn't interested in becoming a leader. If it wasn't for Zhang Hanfu constantly finding trouble for him, he wouldn't have gotten rid of the logistics department head and gotten this position.
"..."
Cao Xian frowned. This Sun Mo was really stubborn. Moreover, he could tell that Sun Mo wasn't joking. This was going to be difficult.
"Headmaster Cao, please leave!"
Sun Mo made things clear and prepared to leave.
"Teacher Sun, what requests do you have? Feel free to mention them. If I can do it, I will satisfy you! "
Cao Xian gritted his teeth and went all out.
Si ~
Xia Yuan drew in a cold gasp. Did he have to go all out? She believed that if she was the one being headhunted, she would have agreed long ago.
Who would be able to resist such a great temptation?
"No!"
Sun Mo thought about it and discovered that he didn't have anything he wanted. No, he wanted to go home, but Cao Xian would definitely not be able to give it to him.
"Teacher Sun!"
Cao Xian smiled bitterly. (Do you know how to chat?)
"I'm sorry!"
Sun Mo left.
"Teacher Sun, if you change your mind, you can come and look for me at any time!"
Cao Xian spoke and gave up.
There was no solution to it. From the start to the end, even after hearing the sky-high conditions, Sun Mo wasn't agitated at all. This meant that he truly didn't wish to leave.
"Does this count as treating money like dirt?"
Cao Xian had a self-mocking smile. "No wonder Yue Rongbo and Fang Wuji admire you so much."
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Cao Xian + 100. Friendly (240/1,000).
"Is there something wrong with Cao Xian's brain?"
Although Zhang Hanfu was mocking him, he no longer looked down on Sun Mo in his heart. Instead, he treated Sun Mo as a strong enemy that was even more terrifying than An Xinhui.
Speaking of which, why wasn't Qianlin back yet? Qianlin was his most outstanding son. He would definitely become his right-hand man and defeat Sun Mo.
Yuan Chengtian left with a grim countenance. (Sun Mo? I'll remember you! Also, Cao Xian, I'll lead the Central Province Academy's new student group to get first place in this year's league tournament. I'll let you see clearly who the strongest new teacher in Jinling is!)
...
After Xia Yuan and Sun Mo separated, she thought about it and felt that she should tell An Xinhui about this matter. Hence, she went to the headmaster's office.
"You're saying that Cao Xian came to headhunt Sun Mo?"
An Xinhui frowned.
"Yes, and the price he offered is extremely high!"
Xia Yuan repeated without missing a single word. "Xinhui, you have to be careful. If a new talent like Sun Mo is headhunted away, it'll be a great loss to our school!"
When An Xinhui heard Sun Mo's final rejection, she subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. To speak the truth, after Sun Mo had arrived, he had helped her a lot, allowing her work to be a lot smoother. Her mood had also become a lot more relaxed.
"I won't let him leave!"
An Xinhui swore.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from An Xinhui + 100. Friendly (670/1,000).
...
Sun Mo's daily life didn't change because of Cao Xian's incident. He still attended classes, went to the Wind King Hall to guide his personal students (along with an honest guy, Qi Shengjia), went to the library to learn, and settled his three meals in the canteen. He lived a monotonous life that consisted of four directions.
Every five days, Cai Tan would come to receive the living blood technique's treatment. His condition was getting better and better, and the genius he once was was returning.
On the morning of the 6th day, after An Xinhui made all the preparations, she officially started to sell the giant medicine packets.
For the first batch, other than gifting it to some major characters in Jinling's circle and the great teacher circle, the remaining ones would be sold within the school to the teachers.
The cost of a giant medicine packet was eventually controlled at around 300 taels of silver. An Xinhui had planned to sell it for 1,000 taels of silver, but Sun Mo felt that it was too little and directly set the price at 3,000 taels of silver.
This price was definitely a sky-high price.
"Black-hearted!"
An Xinhui was worried that she wouldn't be able to sell it, but the prescription of the giant medicine packet was provided by Sun Mo. Hence, she didn't raise any objections and followed Sun Mo's instructions.
During lunchtime, the topic of the giant medicine packet became the main topic of discussion among the teachers.
"3,000 taels of silver for a medicine packet. Has Headmaster An gone crazy from poverty?"
Qian Li sipped her porridge, her tone filled with bewilderment. Headmaster An was such an intelligent person, how could she make such a mistake?
"I heard that it's a secret recipe passed down in the old headmaster's family. It was found in a ruin of darkness, and the Central Province Academy really doesn't have much money. That's why she took it out to sell!"
Li Fang spoke of the rumors she had heard.
"What secret technique is worth 3,000 taels of silver?"
Qian Li's lips twitched. Great teachers didn't lack money, but they wouldn't waste it recklessly either.
"Are you guys planning to buy it?"
Li Fang asked.
"Not buying!"
Qian Li's reply was resolute and decisive. "I'm not a spendthrift."
"What about you?"
Li Fang was hesitant. She felt that An Xinhui wouldn't lie.
"Buy!"
Xia Yuan didn't hesitate. Even if the medicine packet was useless, it didn't matter. She would just treat the 3,000 taels as a donation to the school.
The place where the giant medicine packets were sold was the infirmary on the second floor of the office building. Two assistants were in charge, and they were all subordinates that An Xinhui trusted.
Xia Yuan and Li Fang came and discovered that the locust wood boxes containing the medicine packets were piled up to the brim. From the looks of it, most of the medicine packets weren't sold.
"How's the sales?"
Xia Yuan asked.
"Hehe!"
The two assistants smiled bitterly. "Do you guys want to buy it? If you buy it, you'll be in the fifth position! "
"Give me one or two!"
Xia Yuan had planned to buy one, but after seeing how bad the sales were, she changed her mind.
One assistant took the box while the other took the banknotes. After they were done, she looked at Li Fang. "Do you want one?"
"I'll accompany her!"
Li Fang was actually hesitant, but after seeing such a bleak scene, she immediately gave up. (3,000 taels. It's fine even if I spend it on a good meal!)
Xia Yuan silently sighed. She also didn't know how effective the medicine packet was. She couldn't possibly persuade Li Fang to buy it, right? If not, wouldn't she be tricking her friend?
"The usage method is very simple. When you bathe, just throw it into the water. Remember, you must use a bathtub. A bathtub won't do!"
The assistant instructed.
"Got it!"
Xia Yuan nodded.
After leaving the infirmary, Li Fang was curious and urged Xia Yuan. "Open it and take a look?"
In the box, there was a medicine packet wrapped in sackcloth. There was a faint medicinal fragrance, and it was no different from those medicine packets sold in the market.
"As expected, it was the right choice not to buy it!"
Li Fang felt that the medicine packet should be effective, but it definitely wasn't worth it to sell it for 3,000 taels.
The same conversation and the same situation played out among the teachers. The sales situation of the giant medicine packet was even worse than An Xinhui had expected.
At night, Xia Yuan returned home. She felt bored and prepared to soak in a hot bath to wash away her fatigue.
