The Xuan paper on the floor was messy and full of words.
When most people practiced calligraphy, they wrote whatever they were familiar with. Usually, they wrote poems. After all, even children could recite the 300 Tang poems.
At this moment, the charm of ancient Chinese poetry was on full display.
Gu Xiuxun, who was squatting on the ground, was originally searching for the second half of the Ode to the Red Cliff. But when she casually glanced at it, she would recite a sentence.
These poems were too gorgeous and full of charm. It was like drinking fine wine!
The masochist instinctively started to pick up the papers. In fact, she even smoothed out the papers that Sun Mo had crumpled and arranged them neatly.
Sun Mo was originally still immersed in the joy of splashing ink. When he saw this scene, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. He hurriedly rushed over, snatched the paper from the masochist's hands, and tore it into pieces.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Xiuxun was very angry and roared at Sun Mo.
"Just some clumsy works, they're not worthy of others' attention!"
Sun Mo chuckled.
The Middle-Earth Nine Provinces were at the peak of the feudal dynasties. Poems and songs were also popular there, but they didn't have the magnificence of ancient Huaxia. After all, people like Li Bai and Su Shi, no matter what era they were placed in, they were all outstanding talents.
Their poems could beat all the natives of the Nine States.
If these poems were to circulate out, their names would surely shake Middle-Earth. Sun Mo would also become famous because of this.
As a teacher, this sort of fame would greatly increase his image. However, this sort of 'fame' was not something he dared to take.
Although no one accused Sun Mo of plagiarism, he couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.
To be honest, who didn't want to be famous?
After Sun Mo wrote half of [Journey to the West], his name shook Jinling in just a month. After that, it started to radiate toward Jiangnan. As long as he finished writing it, he would become a famous writer of this generation.
However, Sun Mo didn't write it. No matter how many times Zheng Qingfang begged him, he didn't have the time to reject it.
Did Sun Mo really have no time?
To Sun Mo, who was very familiar with [Journey to the West], what he needed to do was to write out the content in the vernacular. However, he still had integrity.
"My humble work?"
Gu Xiuxun surveyed Sun Mo suspiciously, thinking back to those lines of poetry earlier. "Are you being humble? Or are you insulting my appreciation? "
"Ugh!"
Sun Mo discovered that he had said something wrong because he was too anxious. Hence, he hurriedly explained, "This isn't my work. I copied it!"
"Where did you copy it from?"
The masochist asked.
"An ancient book!"
Sun Mo pushed the blame away.
"As if I'd believe you. Sun Mo, you are so evil!"
Gu Xiuxun rolled her eyes at Sun Mo and went to snatch the remaining paper.
She was also half a literary girl. She didn't dare to say that she had read all the poems and songs in the Nine Prefectures, but she definitely knew about seventy percent of them. Moreover, once such a famous poem was created, it would definitely not be covered in dust.
However, Gu Xiuxun had never seen these poems before.
"Let's talk nicely, don't scold me!"
Sun Mo's movements were very fast, wanting to destroy the fine paper.
"What is the name of that ancient book? Where is it? Can you lend it to me? "
Gu Xiuxun asked thrice.
"Ugh!"
Sun Mo fell silent.
"Didn't you just say yesterday that we are good friends?"
At this moment, the masochist's words were sharp. When she saw Sun Mo stuttering and hesitating, she knew that her guess was right. These poems might have been written by Sun Mo.
Otherwise, given Sun Mo's generosity, he would definitely not reject her. After all, what did an ancient poem count for? Sun Mo had taught his student the Dharma Skyshock Fist before her.
That was a saint-tier cultivation art. It was countless times more valuable than any ancient poem.
Sun Mo scratched his head. It was so troublesome to talk to smart people. If he wanted to lie, he would need to use more lies to cover up the earlier ones. After that, there would be more and more loopholes.
"I understand now. You want to shake the world with your name as a great teacher and not as a poet!"
Gu Xiuxun thought that she had discovered the crucial point. In the Middle-Earth Nine Prefectures, poems were considered a minor dao. Great poets would definitely not be as respected as great teachers.
Moreover, sometimes, great teachers would even think that poets were a lowly occupation that entertained people with poems. After all, where were the most popular poems and songs?
It was a divine technique used by prostitutes in brothels to raise their status and attract customers!
What else could Sun Mo say?
He could only smile!
"What's the next line of 'The River Flows East'?"
Gu Xiuxun was curious.
"To the west of the ancient fortress, people say, 'Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms'!"
Sun Mo didn't hide anything.
Gu Xiuxun muttered in a low voice and guessed, "Although I don't know who this Zhou Lang is, from the concept of the words, he should be a very impressive great teacher!"
"Mn!"
Sun Mo casually replied. He then pulled Gu Xiuxun's wrist, wanting to pull her up. "Alright, let's go eat!"
"Wait a minute, I feel that this line can be changed to 'Below the Jiang Residence, people say,' Like a dog in front of the door '. Sun Mo, what do you think?"
Without waiting for Sun Mo to reply, Gu Xiuxun smiled. Honestly speaking, the nickname 'Like a dog in front of the door' was used to mock Sun Mo. But now, after the third round of the examination, who would still dare to doubt him?
"You are still smiling!"
Sun Mo unhappily stretched out his hand and pinched Gu Xiuxun's face, causing her red lips to pout.
"Eh!"
The masochist was stunned. She didn't expect Sun Mo to be so daring. Although she didn't care about the rules, touching one's face was a very intimate action.
Almost instinctively, the masochist lifted her hand and slapped Sun Mo's hand.
Pak!
Sun Mo's hand was slapped away. He started for a moment and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry!"
Even in the modern era, girls would beat him up for such an overstepping action!
Gu Xiuxun's face turned a little red. Actually, after slapping Sun Mo's hand, she felt a little regret. Although she felt a little uncomfortable being pinched by Sun Mo's big hand, she felt more excitement.
Honestly speaking, this feeling wasn't bad!
After hearing Sun Mo's apology, Gu Xiuxun wanted to say that it was fine. But after thinking about it, wouldn't it seem like she wasn't reserved enough?
(Wait a minute, what am I thinking?) (I can't let down my future husband. I have to maintain my chastity.) After that, Gu Xiuxun moved a few steps to the side.
"Mn, this distance should be fine, right? But isn't it too far? Let Sun Mo feel that I hate him? "
Hence, the masochist hesitated and moved one step back. Two steps.
"..."
Sun Mo was speechless. (What are you doing? Is this performance art?)
Gu Xiuxun didn't notice Sun Mo's expression because she suddenly saw a piece of rice paper under the table. Hence, she picked it up.
"There are two trees in front of my house. One is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree?"
After Gu Xiuxun read it, she had a dumbfounded look on her face. She looked at Sun Mo. "The words are good, but what the hell is with the content?"
"Not bad!"
Sun Mo chuckled.
"Good my foot!"
Gu Xiuxun rolled her eyes. She directly crumpled the rice paper into a ball and tossed it away. "Compared to those poems earlier, this is trash. It's not even hard enough to wipe my butt!"
"Your words make Lu Xun want to beat you up!"
Sun Mo didn't wish to argue about this.
"Who is Lu Xun?"
Gu Xiuxun was curious.
"A person who has said many famous words. Oh right, his most famous sentence is something I've never said before. Lu Xun!"
Sun Mo destroyed all traces of the papers.
"What nonsense is this!"
Gu Xiuxun frowned.
...
Qian Dun got up and was about to wash up when he suddenly saw Sun Mo coming out. He wanted to greet him, but he saw Gu Xiuxun following closely behind him.
"My heavens!"
Qian Dun was shocked. What situation was this? Why did Gu Xiuxun come out from Sun Mo's room so early in the morning? Even if nothing had happened between the two of them, this situation was enough to show that their relationship was very close.
After that, Qian Dun started to feel envious of Sun Mo.
He had planned to call Sun Mo out for a meal, but he could only give up now. Hence, he went to a roadside stall alone and asked for a bowl of noodles.
"Lad, give me two heads of garlic!"
Qian Dun had just slurped two mouthfuls of noodles when an old man sat at the side. He even called out, "Give me another plate of beef and another plate of tofu!"
"You are?"
Qian Dun was puzzled. This old man was dressed luxuriously and didn't seem like someone who would eat from roadside stalls.
"I'm the vice-headmaster of the Springflower Academy. I've come to disturb you because I want to inquire about some matters!"
The old man smiled and displayed the demeanor of an expert. However, his eyes were too small and seemed a little wretched no matter how one looked at him.
Hearing this, Qian Dun hurriedly got up and bowed.
Springflower Academy's full name was Warm Spring Blossoms Academy. It was a B-grade academy and was quite famous. Its vice-principal was at least a five-star.
"Sit down and talk!"
The old man waved his hand, indicating for Qian Dun not to be reserved.
Qian Dun sat down, but only half of his buttocks touched the stool. Moreover, he didn't dare to eat the beef noodles anymore. He even wiped his mouth and secretly used his tongue to lick his teeth. He was deeply afraid that his image would be seen.
"I wonder how the reputation of your esteemed school's Great Teacher Sun Mo is?"
The old man smiled and asked.
Qian Dun had guessed the old man's intention for coming. After all, the Springflower Academy's vice-headmaster wouldn't think highly of a minor character like him. "God Hands!"
"What?"
The old man started.
"Teacher Sun's reputation is God Hands. In the past, the most famous person in the Central Province Academy was Liu Mubai. He and the Myriad Daos Academy's Fang Wuji were known as the twin jade annulus of Jinling. But now, Teacher Sun is the star of our school!
"Ever since he started teaching, all of Sun Mo's Medical Cultivation classes would be filled to the brim. If the students didn't go two hours in advance, they wouldn't be able to get a seat!
"This year, he led the new student group and not only won the championship of the'D 'grade newbie competition, but he also helped our school to ascend to the' C 'grade!"
Qian Dun spoke bluntly. He had wanted to exaggerate a little to add some glory to Sun Mo's face. But later on, he discovered that there was no need to polish it up. It was because Sun Mo's battle achievements were already dazzling enough.
The old man stroked his beard and had a calm expression. But the more he listened, the more shocked he became. In the end, he was dumbfounded.
"You are lying to me, right?"
"God Hands? Do you know the meaning of this? "
"What do you mean by reserving a seat two hours in advance? Do you think he's a 3-star great teacher? "
The old man had wanted to retort, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he couldn't bring himself to say them. After all, he was a 5-star great teacher and had seen too many people. He could tell with a single glance whether Qian Dun was lying or not.
"So that Sun Mo is even more amazing than I expected!"
