On the stone path, Qian Dun and Wang Chao originally wanted to look for Sun Mo. When they heard someone calling out Sun Mo's name, they looked over.
"Cao Xian?"
Qian Dun was shocked. He didn't know Yue Rongbo, but he was very familiar with the headmaster of the Myriad Daos Academy. "Why is he looking for Teacher Sun?"
"Do you even need to ask? It's definitely to poach people! "
Wang Chao stood on his tiptoes and looked around. "What should we do? Do you still want to go? "
The two of them had witnessed how powerful Sun Mo was. When they were chatting idly, they also talked about seeking guidance from Sun Mo and coincidentally found out that he had returned. Hence, they came to pay a visit.
"Go on, this is a rare opportunity. Let's seek guidance from Headmaster Cao!"
Qian Dun was still a little scheming. Cao Xian wasn't only the headmaster, but he was also a 5-star great teacher and was usually very busy. Given Qian Dun's status, he basically didn't have the qualifications to seek guidance from Cao Xian.
However, things were different today. If Cao Xian wanted to headhunt Sun Mo, he would definitely display his righteous side and win Sun Mo's favorable impression.
The two of them looked at each other and quickened their pace at the same time.
"Teacher Sun!"
Qian Dun smiled and looked at Cao Xian. "Headmaster Cao, good morning!"
"Headmaster Cao!"
Wang Chao bowed slightly.
Cao Xian nodded. His expression didn't change, but he felt unhappy about being disturbed. However, he was an open and aboveboard person when doing things. Since he dared to come to the Central Province Academy to headhunt people, he naturally wasn't afraid of being seen by others.
"Teacher Sun, this is just a small gift to show my respect!"
Cao Xian handed over a small wooden box with a pleasant expression on his face.
"I won't accept a reward if I don't deserve it!"
Sun Mo didn't take it.
"Teacher Sun, there's no need to treat me as an outsider. This is Headmaster Cao congratulating you on becoming the champion!"
Yue Rongbo chimed in.
"Alright then!"
Sun Mo looked at Yue Rongbo and discovered that Yue Rongbo was nodding slightly, indicating that he could accept it. Hence, Sun Mo felt at ease.
Furthermore, if he repeatedly refused, it would make him seem arrogant and disdainful of making friends with others.
"At most, I'll just return the favor. I'll pay Cao Xian a visit a few days later and return the small gift!"
Sun Mo had already made up his mind. After receiving the gift with both hands, he passed it to Li Ziqi.
"Teacher Sun, are you not going to open it and take a look? This is Headmaster Cao's kind intentions. "
Yue Rongbo teased.
Sun Mo frowned slightly. The natives of the Nine Provinces didn't have the habit of opening gifts in front of others as it would appear very uncultured. However, since Yue Rongbo said this, it clearly meant that the gift was very valuable. If they didn't open it in front of others, it would be meaningless.
Qian Dun and Wang Chao's gazes landed on the box. In such an occasion, they had no right to speak.
Sun Mo opened the small wooden box. The bottom of the box was covered with an expensive purple silk cloth, and there was a fruit on it. The fruit was silvery-white in color. Half of the fruit had a resplendent star pattern, while the other half had a bright crescent moon pattern.
"Starmoon Fruit?"
Qian Dun exclaimed and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Wang Chao, on the other hand, was in a daze as he looked at the fruits in the box.
This was the Starmoon Fruit. It was bathed in the night sky and gathered the essence of the moon and stars. It would only ripen after a hundred years.
After a cultivator swallowed it, they could use the power of the stars and moon in the fruit to temper their body, purify their blood, and remove the impurities in it to break through bottlenecks.
Simply put, this was a top-grade natural spirit medicine that cultivators at the blood-ignition realm needed the most.
Sun Mo felt that the gift would surely be very expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive to this extent. If such an item was placed in an ordinary auction, it would be a treasure that could be used as the finale item.
Cao Xian's expression was calm as he secretly surveyed everyone. He had seen the expressions of Qian Dun and Wang Chao too many times, but he wouldn't mock them.
Because back then when he saw the Starmoon Fruit for the first time, he also had such an expression filled with possessiveness. It was like a man seeing a thousand-li horse or a top-grade weapon, wanting to keep it for himself.
"I can understand. Who wouldn't want such a top-grade natural spirit medicine?"
Cao Xian smiled complacently. However, when his gaze landed on Sun Mo, his expression turned into one of astonishment. (Why are you so calm?
Don't you want it?
He must be pretending!
He must be pretending!)
After that, Cao Xian glanced at Li Ziqi from the corner of his eyes. This person also had a calm expression. It was like she was looking at a salted fish that could be seen everywhere in the market and not some top-grade spirit medicine.
"Am I seeing things?"
Cao Xian had an impulse to rub his eyes.
"Mn?"
Yue Rongbo also discovered Sun Mo's strange expression. Could it be that Sun Mo often ate this thing? Because only when one couldn't be more familiar with something would they lose the surprise.
As the saying goes, behind every goddess, there would be a man who would sleep with her until he vomited.
"Headmaster Cao, your gift is too valuable. I can't accept it!"
Sun Mo closed the lid and returned it to Cao Xian.
"..."
For a time, Cao Xian didn't know what to say. (Too valuable? Are you just saying these polite words? Look at your appearance, you don't seem to be shocked at all!)
It was like when an ordinary person suddenly received a jade bracelet, their actions would definitely be very careful, deeply afraid that they would accidentally break it because they wouldn't be able to afford it. However, Sun Mo didn't do that at all.
He just casually passed it back to Cao Xian.
Cao Xian's sense of superiority was completely shattered. He had prepared a super generous gift and was prepared to knock Sun Mo unconscious. But from the looks of it now, his' sincerity 'was completely insufficient.
Li Ziqi stood at the side. Her face was calm, but she really wanted to laugh in her heart.
To the vast majority of people, the Starmoon Fruit was a top-grade precious gift. But to Sun Mo, sorry, he had relied on eating the Starmoon Fruit to break through to the seventh level of the blood-ignition realm.
However, Cao Xian had the intention and from the looks of it, he regarded Sun Mo quite highly.
"Teacher is really impressive!"
The little sunny egg sighed ruefully and contributed another wave of favorable impression points.
"Teacher Sun!"
Qian Dun's eyes widened and he almost snatched the box back for Sun Mo. (Have you lost your mind? Why don't you want such a precious gift?)
Wang Chao's eyes were filled with intense envy.
(When can I be as impressive as Sun Mo, getting the headmaster of a 'C' grade school to personally headhunt me with a precious gift?)
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Wang Chao + 200. Friendly (900/1,000).
"Cao Xian, I'll accept your kind intentions, but you must definitely bring the gift back!"
Sun Mo smiled and directly stuffed the box into Cao Xian's hands. "Otherwise, I'll pay a visit tomorrow and give it to you!"
"You..."
Cao Xian bitterly smiled. In his heart, his favorable impression of Sun Mo increased greatly. After that, he admired Sun Mo even more. How many people in this world could remain unmoved when faced with such a huge temptation?
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Cao Xian + 100. Friendly (640/1,000).
"Headmaster Cao, I can roughly guess why you're looking for me. I can only apologize, but I won't leave the Central Province Academy!"
Sun Mo had an apologetic look on his face.
"Teacher Sun, don't be in a hurry to reject me. I came here with great sincerity. What conditions do you want? Just state them directly and I'll satisfy them."
Cao Xian gritted his teeth and decided to go all out.
"There are only two reasons for a great teacher to change jobs. One is that he's unhappy with his job, and the other is that the school didn't give him enough money."
Sun Mo smiled. "I'm very satisfied with both of them now."
As the sound of Sun Mo's voice faded, a golden halo erupted.
Swoosh!
Priceless Advice radiated.
"..."
Sun Mo was speechless.
"Wow, Teacher is so awesome. He can casually say golden sentences!"
Li Ziqi blinked her eyes, her gaze filled with worship.
Cao Xian and Yue Rongbo started. After that, they revealed contemplative expressions. They couldn't bring themselves to say that they wanted to continue headhunting Sun Mo.
"Teacher Sun's words hit the nail on the head!"
Cao Xian sighed ruefully. Compared to Yue Rongbo, as a headmaster of tens of thousands of teachers and students, he could understand the true meaning of this sentence better.
In the past, he was very puzzled. Why did those juniors of great teachers still choose to change jobs even though he treated them so well? Later on, he discovered that what they needed wasn't emotions but resources to develop to a higher level.
Hence, after that, when he could talk about money, Cao Xian no longer talked about emotions. This was also the reason why he was so generous in headhunting Sun Mo.
"Teacher Sun, I increasingly don't want to miss out on you now. I'll continue to headhunt you!"
Cao Xian stared at Sun Mo with a scorching gaze. Sun Mo was a talent. Not only was he good at teaching, but he also seemed to be good at management.
Yue Rongbo clapped lightly. Right now, he would no longer invite Sun Mo to join his great teacher circle. There was no other reason but that he didn't want to hold Sun Mo back. For a person like Sun Mo, the leader of a great teacher circle would at least be a 7-star great teacher.
Sun Mo smiled helplessly, no longer wishing to continue this topic. He glanced at Qian Dun. "Teacher Qian, Teacher Wang, do you guys have any business with me?"
"Oh, we have a few questions that we wish to consult Teacher Sun on."
Qian Dun bowed, but he still didn't dare to ask Cao Xian for guidance. After all, he wasn't Sun Mo and wouldn't be able to act so carefreely before a 5-star great teacher.
"Haha, Teacher Qian is really joking. How would I dare to display my slight skill before Headmaster Cao and Teacher Yue?"
Sun Mo declined. "Why don't you let Headmaster Cao give you some guidance?"
"How capable am I? How would I dare to trouble Headmaster Cao?"
Qian Dun made use of this opportunity.
"Why don't you tell me about your puzzlement?"
Cao Xian knew that Qian Dun was trying to flatter him and wanted him to speak. Usually, he would definitely ignore this. But today, on account of Sun Mo, he agreed.
"I feel that my strength is increasing very slowly!"
Qian Dun immediately told him about his problem.
Sun Mo listened seriously at the side, wanting to see how a 5-star great teacher would answer his questions. One couldn't help but say that he had gained a lot.
Because of the difference in their positions, their horizons would be different. Hence, different people would have different solutions to the same problem.
"Your mentality is too impatient. You are still young, take it slow!"
Headmaster Cao concluded and then looked at Sun Mo. "How is it?"
"It's a very fascinating answer!"
Sun Mo praised. As expected of a 5-star great teacher. Cao Xian didn't have Divine Sight and didn't even know Qian Dun before this. But through Qian Dun's description, he found the reason.
"Headmaster Cao, I also have a few questions."
Wang Chao spoke up.
Cao Xian listened seriously and answered them one by one. After that, he stroked his beard. "Sun Mo, I have some things that I wish to discuss with you alone."
Qian Dun and Wang Chao exchanged a mutual glance. Although they were unwilling to leave, they knew that if they continued to stay, they would incur Cao Xian's disgust. In addition, they had achieved their purpose. Hence, they bowed and bade farewell. "We still have lessons to attend and will have to trouble the three of you."
After the two of them left, Cao Xian smiled and asked, "Teacher Sun, what do you think of their puzzlement?"
"Are you testing me?"
Sun Mo teased.
"You can understand it that way!"
Yue Rongbo was filled with anticipation for Sun Mo's answer.
