Seeing the little sunny egg crying, Sun Mo also felt a little upset. However, his decision wouldn't change.
"Ziqi, you're a very intelligent girl. You should understand the reason why I'm doing this!"
Sun Mo tried to persuade her.
Li Ziqi fell silent. She naturally knew that her teacher was doing this for her own good. Firstly, even if he couldn't guess her true identity, he could be sure that she was a relative of the emperor and was very favored.
If she wasn't favored, the provincial governor of Jinling wouldn't care so much about her safety.
Given her identity, if something were to happen to her, the consequences would be very severe.
Secondly, her athletic ability was too weak.
The Saint Gate had set the rules of the league tournament. The most important thing was to assess the overall strength of the students. Hence, there were no arena battles.
Moreover, after a round of league tournament, they would usually have to go on a long expedition and would need to move a lot. The shortest would be three days, and the longest would be ten days to half a month. To Li Ziqi, this was a very great burden.
"Ziqi, don't be anxious. Wait until next year. You can also join the Central Province Academy's representative group as a participant!"
Sun Mo truly didn't wish for Li Ziqi to take the risk. It was because in his evaluation system, the little sunny egg's survival rate was the lowest.
Li Ziqi wanted to speak, but her right leg under the table was suddenly kicked by Tantai Yutang. She lifted her head and glanced over, only to see the sickly invalid winking at her.
"Teacher, I understand!"
Li Ziqi had wanted to argue, but when the words were at the tip of her tongue, she changed her mind.
After the meal, after entering the Wind King Hall, Li Ziqi stopped Tantai Yutang.
"What do you want to say to me?"
The little sunny egg's tone was unfriendly.
"Although Teacher is gentle and easy to talk to, when it comes to matters of principle, he will definitely not change his mind. You should just give up!"
Tantai Yutang smiled.
"Let's talk about the main topic!"
Li Ziqi didn't wish to talk nonsense. She also understood that the sickly invalid was definitely not looking for her to speak up for Sun Mo.
"Let's think of a solution ourselves!"
Tantai Yutang's brows twitched. He liked to talk to intelligent people because he could guess the other party's thoughts with just a few simple words.
Speaking of which, among Sun Mo's few personal students, Tantai Yutang was the only one who could chat with Li Ziqi. Jiang Leng could as well, but Jiang Leng usually had a poker face and wouldn't speak unless it was necessary.
Xuanyuan Po was a combat addict, and his brain was filled with muscles. Lu Zhiruo was too silly and often couldn't convey her meaning. As for Ying Baiwu, she would work hard in her cultivation every day. To her, chatting was a great waste of time.
The honest guy Qi Shengjia?
Hehe, Tantai Yutang didn't want to talk to him. It wasn't that he looked down on Tantai Yutang, but he was really tired. It was because Tantai Yutang had to make every sentence extremely clear for him to understand. If he were to omit some main words or jump slightly, he wouldn't be able to keep up with the topic.
Li Ziqi frowned and had an unkind expression on her face. She had guessed that this sickly invalid wanted to cause trouble. As expected, he came.
"Don't worry, I'm also Teacher's personal disciple now, so I'm in the same boat as him. Therefore, I won't do anything bad to this group. The only reason I wanted to join the New Cadet Regiment was because I was bored and wanted to mess with the students from the other academies!"
Tantai Yutang shrugged.
He didn't have much time left in his life. Hence, he had always been seeking excitement, wanting the last moments of his life to be as dazzling as fireworks.
"You also want to prove yourself, right?"
The sickly invalid stretched out his hand.
"Sorry, I'll settle it myself!"
Li Ziqi glanced at Tantai Yutang's hand but didn't shake it. "If I can't even settle something like joining the New Cadet Regiment, I'm not fit to be Teacher's disciple!"
After the little sunny egg spoke, she turned and left!
Tantai Yutang revealed a playful expression. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands. "Very good, I feel that you have the air of an eldest martial sister now."
If Li Ziqi had agreed earlier, Tantai Yutang would have been disappointed. Because from the start to the end, he had been testing Li Ziqi. Cooperation? He had never thought of it before.
After turning around the corridor, Li Ziqi's expression changed. (Pui, you want to test me? Dream on!) However, this fellow seemed to be a lunatic who wished for the world to be in chaos.
She had to think of a way to chase him away!
Li Ziqi felt that if she allowed the sickly invalid to stay by her teacher's side, he would cause great trouble for him sooner or later.
...
The next morning, the name list of participants was announced and pasted on the notice board in front of the teaching building.
The representative group for the main competition was no different from last year. The only interesting thing was that Cai Tan, who was known as Shang Zhongyong, had successfully been selected.
"Eh? Isn't Cai Tan crippled? Why is his name on the name list? "
"That's old news. A few days ago, Cai Tan defeated Tang Ming in the battle hall's examination and rose up again!"
"Si? Tang Ming? If I didn't remember wrongly, that fellow is a sixth-year student, right? "
"Not only so, he's ranked 13th in the battle hall. Hence, the value of this battle is extremely high!"
The students discussed. Those who didn't know about Cai Tan's rise had also heard of it. Some students were curious and wanted to find out the reason for Cai Tan's sudden rise.
"I heard that it's because of Teacher Sun's guidance!"
"Although Teacher Sun has just joined the school, if it's him, I'll believe him!"
"Yeah, God Hands are so impressive."
The students saw the teachers leading the new cadet group on the name list. Sun Mo and Gu Xiuxun's names were among them.
Honestly speaking, this was within their expectations!
There was no need to mention how outstanding Sun Mo was. Right now, he was a celebrity teacher that everyone in the school knew about. He had a pair of God Hands, and the most important thing was that he had an extremely high sense of responsibility.
Because Sun Mo withstood the pressure and expelled a bunch of school bullies led by Zhou Yong, cleansing the Central Province Academy's reputation.
Right now, there was much more laughter in the school, and the number of bullying cases had decreased greatly. It was because Sun Mo had said that once he knew that such things were happening, he wouldn't listen to any reason and would expel them directly.
Moreover, he would report the name of the perpetrator to the Saint Gate and all the famous schools at the D grade and above.
One could say that once a student was notified, their future would be finished. They would either have to go to an unrated school to learn or leave the school as soon as possible.
This price was simply too great. Hence, those students who usually bullied their classmates for fun all quieted down and became obedient.
It was only now that the students discovered that it wasn't that the school leaders couldn't control bullying. Rather, it depended on how great their determination was.
"Last year, the results of the new student group were too poor. This was why we weren't able to ascend to the 'C' grade. This year, with Teacher Sun, we'll definitely be able to ascend!"
The students started to look forward to next year. After all, who wouldn't want their school to be the best? Moreover, this also concerned the practical benefits of the students.
The higher the ranking of the school they graduated from, the better the treatment they would receive in the future.
Ma Sui stood outside the crowd and listened to the students' discussions. His countenance was grim. Sun Mo being selected was already what everyone expected.
(But sorry, this year is my battle to wipe away my humiliation. I can't give my slot to you!)
Ma Sui turned and walked toward the teaching building.
...
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained a total of + 780 favorable impression points."
The system's notification rang out, interrupting Sun Mo's train of thought.
"Can you stop giving me hints?"
Sun Mo was speechless. Throughout the morning, the notifications hadn't stopped. They were as annoying as cicadas in summer.
"This is the summary. If every line was a notification, you'd be deaf now!"
The system explained.
Because of the announcement board, there would be students who would see it at every moment. The majority of the students had contributed favorable impression points.
"Then give me a notification before you sleep tonight!"
Sun Mo instructed.
However, to speak the truth, Sun Mo felt secretly pleased when he heard that he had obtained favorable impression points. After all, this represented the students' acknowledgment of him.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
A melodious bell rang out, and Sun Mo announced the end of the class. He tidied up his teaching materials and walked out of the lecture theater.
"Teacher Sun!"
Ma Sui called out.
Sun Mo turned his head and saw a tall and slender young man. His face was a little round, and his facial features were gentle. His eyes were big.
Such a person was born to be a teacher. It was because he made people feel at ease when they looked at him. He wasn't dangerous at all.
"You are..."
Sun Mo was surprised.
"Ma Sui!"
When Ma Sui said this, he felt a little awkward. He didn't like to snatch the opportunities of others, but this time around, he could only apologize.
"So it's Teacher Ma!"
Sun Mo put out his right hand. However, he soon realized that it wasn't very popular to shake hands in Jinling.
"Teacher Sun, I wish to have a duel with you regarding the matter of the leading teacher of the new student group!"
Ma Sui's attitude was very good.
"Alright!"
Sun Mo nodded.
"Eh!"
Ma Sui was stunned. Sun Mo had agreed too quickly, so much so that he didn't even have the time to finish his words.
From his point of view, Sun Mo had a 90% chance of getting the slot. Why would Sun Mo take the risk to have a duel with him? Therefore, he had prepared a superior-grade heaven-tier body-refinement pill as bait. However, he didn't expect that it would be useless...
"I know that Teacher Ma has sacrificed a lot for the league tournament this year, but I'm sorry. I also wish to contribute to the Central Province Academy. Therefore, I won't give up. How about we use a duel to determine the victor?"
Sun Mo looked into Ma Sui's eyes and spoke in a sincere tone.
To speak the truth, he admired Ma Sui a little. It was because a person who knew how to redeem themselves and make up for their mistakes represented that this person had a great sense of responsibility and was worthy of trust.
Ma Sui also didn't expect Sun Mo to be so easy to talk to. After being stunned for a moment, he felt embarrassed for his own thoughts. "Teacher Sun, thank you for giving me this chance to challenge you!"
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Ma Sui + 100. Friendly (230/1,000).
Upon hearing the notification, Sun Mo was a little surprised. He wasn't starting from zero?
"Previously, you expelled Zhou Yong, beat up Yang Cai, saved Ying Baiwu, and settled the logistics problem of the Central Province Academy. You have won his favorable impression and admiration."
The system explained.
From this point, it could be seen that Ma Sui was a good teacher with a sense of justice and responsibility!
"Let's go to the victory dojo then?"
Sun Mo made a gesture of invitation.
The moment the two of them left, a commotion broke out in half the corridor.
"Teacher Sun is going to duel with Teacher Ma. Quickly go to the victory dojo to reserve a seat!"
"I can finally see Teacher Sun's martial techniques. I'm really filled with anticipation!"
"Is Teacher Sun very good at fighting? Has anyone seen him before? "
The students discussed amongst themselves. Quite a number of them packed their bags and ran toward the victory dojo, wanting to reserve a good seat. Those who had lessons later on immediately cried out.
(Heavens, why must you be so cruel to me?)
"Which one of you has an image-recording stone? Remember to bid for it. I'll buy it at a high price! "
The students all thought of strange moves, and some were even prepared to skip class. After all, many people wanted to see a battle between celebrities like Sun Mo.
