If a great teacher wanted to make a name for themselves in the great teacher world, not only did they have to have true capabilities and be able to teach students well, but they also had to expand their social circle, establish connections, and build up their reputation.
If a young person was new to the world, they would be able to avoid many detours if they had the guidance of a major character who admired them. Also, those who passed the great teacher examination in the same batch could be considered the same batch.
The relationship of the same batch could be considered closer.
Everyone was mingling in the great teacher world, and it was hard to say when they would encounter difficulties. Having more friends meant having more paths.
Gu Xiuxun planned to head to Guangling earlier. Other than adapting to the examination venue and observing the situation, she also planned to get to know some people. If there was a chance, she could also pay a visit to some major characters.
Sun Mo didn't like to do such things, but he knew that if he wanted to do well in society, he mustn't lack the ways of the world.
No matter what, he was someone who had been bitten by society for a few years. Hence, he was no longer naive and agreed to set off the day after tomorrow.
After all, he still had some personal matters to settle.
...
"Why are you here?"
Zheng Qingfang, who heard that Sun Mo had come to visit, immediately rushed to the study.
"I'm going to Guangling to participate in the great teacher examination. I'll be gone for about three months, so I came here to perform the living blood technique for Uncle Zheng."
Sun Mo explained.
"I've troubled you!"
Zheng Qingfang was very moved.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Zheng Qingfang + 200. Respect (2,000/10000).
"Uncle Zheng, you're treating me like an outsider by saying this."
When Sun Mo heard the system notification, he knew that this trip wasn't in vain. Zheng Qingfang was indeed someone who knew gratitude. However, the reason why he helped Zheng Qingfang was because this old official was upright and incorruptible. It wasn't because of his identity as a major character.
"Hehe!"
Zheng Qingfang laughed. He would remember his gratitude in his heart and not say it out loud. Hence, he didn't mention this matter and took out a wooden box.
"Congratulations on leading the new student group to become the champion of the newbie competition, helping the Central Province Academy to ascend to the 'C' grade league tournament."
Zheng Qingfang looked at Sun Mo, his eyes filled with admiration.
He was very concerned about Sun Mo and had been sending people to gather information about the league tournament. Hence, he knew about Sun Mo's shocking performance. This also made him feel very regretful because he couldn't be there to witness Sun Mo's glory.
Such a good young man, it was a pity that he was already engaged. Otherwise, he would definitely marry his granddaughter to him. It would be a lifetime fortune to marry such a man.
"Thank you."
Sun Mo didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the wooden box calmly.
"It's not a treasure. It's just a South Lake Pearl. It emits a faint smell. As long as you wear it, you won't be bitten by mosquitoes or bitten by snakes or ants. Moreover, it can refresh your mind and maintain your vigor."
Zheng Qingfang casually introduced the origin of the pearl. It felt like he was gifting a fruit basket bought by the roadside. However, after Sun Mo used his Divine Sight to scan this pearl, he knew that this gift was very heavy.
This pearl was not a secret treasure, but in the Nine States, it was a rare item. It was produced in the South Lake, and there was a lot of it, so it was like a tribute.
In other words, other than the Imperial Family, no one else had the right to use it. Even if they had the money, they wouldn't be able to buy it, because if they used it, they would be overstepping their bounds and would be beheaded.
Zheng Qingfang's pearl was bestowed by the late Emperor. Even among the pearls of the South Lake, it was of the highest quality.
"Is this a tribute?"
Sun Mo rejected and put the box back. "It's too valuable!"
"You and I are like old friends at first sight. We are friends despite the difference in age. If you say something like that again, you are looking down on me!"
Zheng Qingfang frowned.
"Alright then!"
Sun Mo was helpless and could only accept it.
"Actually, I'm the one who's profited. After you used the living blood technique to help me expel the poison, I can eat well, sleep well, and feel that my body is much better. I also didn't suddenly fall unconscious. I feel that it wouldn't be a problem for me to live for another three to four years."
Zheng Qingfang laughed uproariously. Who didn't have a grudge in their hearts?
At Zheng Qingfang's level, what rare things had he not seen before? But no matter how important something was, it wasn't as important as a talented person.
"Because the poison in your body has been here for too long, it has already settled in your blood and bone marrow. It's more troublesome to expel it. I will give you a prescription later. Take the medicine on time and use the living blood technique. Within one to two years, you should be able to expel all the poison."
Sun Mo added a little more time. If something went wrong, there would still be some leeway. However, Zheng Qingfang was astonished.
"One to two years? So fast? "
Zheng Qingfang grew agitated.
"Mn!"
Sun Mo nodded with certainty.
"It's really my fortune to have met you!"
Zheng Qingfang surveyed Sun Mo. "If I live a few more years, I'll be able to see a few more of your famous paintings. Sigh, if it wasn't for the fact that I know you are too busy, I would really want to force you to draw another one."
Sun Mo smiled and didn't continue the conversation.
"Oh right, you actually know medicine as well?"
Zheng Qingfang thought of another matter. Sun Mo actually knew how to write prescriptions?
"I don't, but I coincidentally know a few types of medicinal herbs from the Darkness Continent that have a restraining effect against this poison."
Sun Mo explained.
...
Sun Mo used half an hour to finish massaging Zheng Qingfang. However, Old Master Zheng insisted on keeping him for a meal. There was no solution to it and he could only stay until the afternoon before leaving.
"Xia He, do you regret it?"
Zheng Qingfang asked as he looked at Xia He who came to remove the teacup.
"This servant doesn't regret it!"
Although Xia He said this, only she knew the bitterness in her heart.
She didn't expect Sun Mo to be so outstanding.
At the thought of Dong He following Sun Mo, she suddenly had a strong desire to see Sun Mo fail the great teacher examination.
"At that time, I must pay Dong He a visit!"
Xia He decided on her plan.
...
Sun Mo called his six personal students before him and instructed them on some things to take note of. After telling them to focus on cultivation and not create trouble, he went to seek leave from An Xinhui.
"I wish you the best in advance!"
When An Xinhui thought of how Sun Mo was going to leave for three months, she suddenly felt a little reluctance for some reason.
"Thank you!"
Sun Mo turned and left.
Seeing that Sun Mo was about to leave, An Xinhui grew anxious. "Wait a minute!"
"Is there anything else?"
Sun Mo was puzzled.
"You... close your eyes!"
An Xinhui didn't dare to look Sun Mo in the eye and spoke in a low voice.
"What?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"I'll tell you if I close my eyes."
An Xinhui pretended to be calm.
Sun Mo shrugged and closed his eyes. After waiting for over ten seconds, he felt a slight warmth on the left side of his face.
"What the hell?"
Sun Mo subconsciously touched his face and opened his eyes. He just happened to see An Xinhui's beautiful face blushing as she hurriedly retreated.
"Fool, she kissed you!"
The system was speechless. As expected of a single dog, he didn't even know that someone had kissed him.
Sun Mo fell silent.
An Xinhui also didn't know what to say. Hence, the atmosphere in the office became a little silent.
"Thank you!"
After Sun Mo spoke, he turned and left.
"Stupid!"
An Xinhui suddenly felt a little disappointed. She was even prepared for Sun Mo to pounce over and hug her. However, nothing happened in the end.
"You're really single based on your strength!"
Even the system couldn't bear to continue watching. Sun Mo was truly destined to be a slut forever.
If it was any other guy with Sun Mo's looks, talent, and God Hands, they would have long since written the word 'righteous' on Jin Mujie's butt.
"Little Momo!"
Sun Mo hadn't walked far when An Xinhui chased after him. "Take these visiting cards. If there's anything, you can pay a visit to these uncles!"
Because An Xinhui had kissed Sun Mo earlier, her emotions were too chaotic and she had forgotten about this important matter.
"Thank you!"
Sun Mo looked at the words and creases on the six visiting cards. Clearly, they had been written long ago. This suddenly caused him to feel a little touched.
His childhood sweetheart was also concerned about him!
One must know that An Xinhui didn't even ask the old headmaster for help during the difficult times in the Central Province Academy. However, for his sake, she wrote a visiting card for him.
After all, a favor was something that could only be used once.
"I know you're iron-headed and have a tough personality, but when you're outside, you still have to endure when you should. When we return, I'll fight back together with you!"
An Xinhui persuaded. She walked up to Sun Mo and helped him tidy his collar.
Sun Mo felt a little dazed. Every morning before he went to work, he would see his wife tidy his clothes and listen to her instructions. He had fantasized about such a life before.
Sadly, he ended up living his life as a single dog!
"What are you thinking about? Have you remembered what I said to you? "
An Xinhui complained.
"I've remembered it!"
Sun Mo smiled. "If anyone dares to offend me, I'll directly smash their heads and let them know that the people from my Central Province Academy are the strongest!"
"You..."
An Xinhui suddenly burst out laughing. Little Momo had really grown up and even knew how to joke.
...
On a sunny morning, Sun Mo rode a handsome horse and set off. Other than Gu Xiuxun, Gao Ben, Zhang Lan, as well as Qian Dun and Wang Chao, who had joined last year, traveled together with him.
"Teacher Sun, you wouldn't feel that we're a hindrance, right?"
Wang Chao wasn't as thick-skinned as Qian Dun. He felt uneasy along the way.
"That won't be the case. Let's travel together so that we can take care of each other!"
Sun Mo gave up on the idea of riding Little Silver to Guangling because he suddenly recalled that he had been in the Nine Provinces for half a year and hadn't left Jinling City before.
He might as well take this chance to see the local conditions and customs of the Nine Provinces.
The scenery on the way was similar to what Sun Mo had imagined. It was filled with an ancient aura. There were madams dressed in plain clothes and braided hairpins, young misses from humble families, and scholars who were rushing to the capital to take the imperial examinations.
Carriages passed by, and travelers could be seen everywhere. This was especially so at the ferry stops. There were many ancient people.
"Are those roadside stalls safe?"
Sun Mo saw a tea stall with lush greenery at the roadside. The female boss looked a little charming and would occasionally tease the passing merchants.
"It's safe, but it's not too clean!"
Zhang Lan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly added.
"There's no knockout drug?"
Sun Mo wanted to drink a cup of tea, order a few buns, and a few side dishes. He also wanted to call out to the waiter to serve the wine!
However, this tea stall didn't have a waiter, so he could only give up.
"What's a knockout drug?"
Qian Dun was curious. "It doesn't sound like a good thing!"
"It's a necessary weapon for people of the pugilistic world!"
Sun Mo laughed uproariously and fiercely whipped the white horse's butt. "Let's go. Let's try our best to reach Yuxing Town before the sky turns dark. At that time, I'll treat everyone to a drink!"
"Teacher Sun, do you dare to compete in horsemanship?"
Gu Xiuxun's legs squeezed the horse's abdomen and chased after it.
