Li Zixing soon understood Sun Mo's meaning. He was so angry that green veins popped up on his forehead. He wanted nothing more than to strangle Sun Mo on the spot.
He was a prince of the Great Tang Empire. Even a 5-star great teacher wouldn't dare to provoke him like this!
This Sun Mo was truly arrogant to the extreme.
"Prince, how about we make a bet? If I become a 2-star great teacher three months later, why don't you take out that mysterious plant at home and let everyone broaden their horizons? "
Sun Mo teased.
Swoosh!
Everyone's gazes turned toward Li Zixing, filled with curiosity. (You have such a treasure?)
"What mysterious plant?"
Li Zixing had a dumbfounded look on his face. (There's such a thing in my house? Why don't I know about it?)
"Che, it's fine if Prince isn't willing. Why is there a need to feign ignorance?"
Sun Mo mocked. "But if it was me, I wouldn't show it to others easily either. After all, it's a rare darkness treasure that even the Saint Gate doesn't have!"
This time around, even Li Silin and Li Feng looked at their father, feeling aggrieved in their hearts. (Are we still your sons? You have such a good treasure, yet you don't want to let us broaden our horizons?)
"Sun Mo, don't talk nonsense. I don't have such a rare darkness treasure!"
Li Zixing tried to defend himself. He was so angry that his beard and hair were about to stand up.
Sun Mo was digging a pit for him. Once the Saint Gate heard that he had such a rare darkness treasure, they'd surely come to ask. If he couldn't take it out, there was an 80 to 90% chance that his relationship with the Saint Gate would turn sour.
"Hehe!"
Sun Mo coldly laughed.
Li Zixing had wanted to explain, but when he saw the expressions of the guests in the surroundings, he knew that it was useless no matter what he said. It was because Sun Mo had already proven his capabilities as a botanist.
He had never seen plants before, yet he could determine what plants Qi Mu`en and Governor Fang had in their houses just by sniffing and observing with his eyes. This was too impressive!
If they didn't see it for themselves, no one would believe it. Hence, Sun Mo saying that there was a rare darkness treasure in Li Zixing's house wasn't far from the truth.
This was basically groundless!
Li Zixing wanted to accuse Sun Mo of lying, but he discovered that there was no evidence at all.
"Che, even if Sun Mo can't kill Li Zixing, he should disgust him to death!"
Qi Mu`en sighed ruefully. This Sun Mo was very scheming.
What happened at the Deer Tail Banquet would surely spread out. At that time, if the Saint Gate looked for Li Zixing and he couldn't take out a rare darkness treasure, it would be equivalent to him rejecting them. The relationship between both parties might not be strained, but the great teachers wouldn't think so.
How much authority did the Saint Gate have?
Any great teacher in the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces was managed by the Saint Gate.
In the future, if Li Zixing were to invite a great teacher to guide his child, that great teacher would definitely consider Li Zixing's relationship with the Saint Gate.
What if the Saint Gate vented their anger on this great teacher because Li Ziqi refused to share the rare darkness treasure with them?
One must know that humans sought good fortune and avoided calamity. Even if they knew that the Saint Gate wouldn't make things difficult for Li Zixing, the great teachers wouldn't dare to take the risk and would definitely reject it.
Therefore, it would be much more difficult for Li Zixing to invite a private master teacher in the future.
Zheng Qingfang had also analyzed this point. In order to prevent Li Zixing from breaking the deadlock, he changed the topic. "There's a custom in the Deer Tail Banquet every year. It's to give the newly ascended great teachers a chance to display themselves. This year, there are even more heroes gathered. We can feast our eyes on them!"
Liu Mubai's spirits stirred. He finally had the chance to perform. However, when his gaze landed on Sun Mo, he felt a little trepidation in his heart.
Sun Mo's performance was truly too stunning.
(Luckily, they aren't competing in the study of spirit runes or botany!)
Liu Mubai suddenly felt a little glad.
The originally noisy Linjiang Hall suddenly fell silent. The guests exchanged glances and discovered that they had forgotten about this matter.
The majority of people loved to watch a good show, and the great teachers' competition at the Deer Tail Banquet every year was also an exciting show. However, this year, Sun Mo had displayed a series of famous paintings and then rebuked 3-star great teacher Ni Jingting. Because it was too exciting, everyone had forgotten that there was a competition.
"I thought that the twin jade annulus of Jinling would show their prowess. I didn't expect this Sun Mo who popped out of nowhere to be the champion."
Governor Fang shook his head and sighed ruefully. After that, he stood up and started to introduce a few newly ascended great teachers.
"Fang Wuji, Liu Mubai, these are all famous people that everyone is familiar with. They only went to take the great teacher examination now because they want to challenge the magnificent feat of rising 3 stars in a single year."
Governor Fang praised.
As one of the twin jade annulus of Jinling, let alone Fang Wuji and Liu Mubai, even their personal students, Duan Qiao and Han Zisheng, didn't need to be introduced.
Today, Liu Mubai still had a graceful demeanor, but Fang Wuji was far inferior. He had a broad chin and was slightly ugly. Now that he had drunk some wine, he really lost his composure.
"Wuji, greet everyone!"
Cao Xian urged. It was a pity that after Fang Wuji broke up, he was completely dispirited. He lay on the table, not moving at all.
"Sigh, I didn't expect Wuji to be so deeply in love."
Cao Xian had no solution. He could only increase some favorable impression points for Fang Wuji through his infatuation.
"This is Great Teacher Gu Xiuxun from the Central Province Academy. Beside her is her personal student, Zhang Yaozong. In the'D 'grade league tournament last year, he was the student leader and his performance was extremely dazzling."
Fang Lun introduced.
Upon hearing this, Cao Xian's lips twitched. This was clearly a child that he had nurtured, but An Xinhui ended up benefiting him.
The guests discussed amongst themselves. Some guys even took the chance to admire her appearance and figure openly, feasting their eyes on her.
"Great Teacher Gu and her personal student are very strong. She will also participate in the 2-star great teacher examination two months later. I feel that she will pass and might even be ranked on the Devastating Beauty Rankings."
Fang Lun complimented.
"Governor Fang is praising me too much!"
Gu Xiuxun replied humbly.
As for the other newly ascended great teachers, they were all trash. No one cared about them at all.
"Why didn't you introduce Teacher?"
Lu Zhiruo was unhappy.
"Please, Teacher is the finale!"
Li Ziqi teased. "Don't you know that the most impressive would always appear at the end?"
"The last one is our 1-star top student, Sun Mo. I believe everyone has heard a lot about him recently. He led the Central Province Academy's new student group to get first place in the league tournament the moment he joined. At the same time, he suppressed the examinees from the Nine Greats in the examination, breaking the record and getting first place. He is truly incomparably dazzling."
The gazes of the guests landed on Sun Mo. One couldn't help but say that this young man's appearance was extremely good. His figure was tall and straight, and he had a handsome face. When he smiled, it was like the warm sunlight of spring, giving people a good impression of him.
"Such an outstanding young man, do you guys want to recruit him as your son-in-law? Sadly, it's too late. He is already engaged to Headmaster An. "
Governor Fang had a look of regret on his face.
When Zheng Qingfang saw this scene, he knew that Fang Lun was saying this to give Sun Mo face. This meant that Sun Mo's talent had already convinced him.
"Naturally, Sun Mo's glorious deeds aren't limited to just this. When he joined, he created a new subject named Medical Cultivation. The number of people attending his classes has always been full. If one doesn't go two hours in advance, there won't be any seats at all!"
Governor Fang had also done his research on Sun Mo before.
When everyone heard this, they finally revealed shocked expressions. One must know that the number of people attending a lecture was the most direct way to gauge a great teacher's strength.
"Haha, Teacher Sun has the great reputation of God Hands in the Central Province Academy. If everyone experienced it, they would surely be shocked!"
Zheng Qingfang introduced.
"God Hands? Is it so exaggerated? "
Everyone was shocked again. One must know that this title wasn't something that could be obtained just because one wanted to.
"According to the usual practice, it's a competition between newly ascended great teachers. However, be it Sun Mo, Liu Mubai, or Fang Wuji, there's no longer a need for them to prove themselves!"
Governor Fang smiled. "So, let's give this opportunity to their students!"
Governor Fang was very good at speaking. In truth, a competition between great teachers was a type of performance. But when one reached Sun Mo's level, there was no need for them to be watched like monkeys. As for the other newly ascended great teachers, because they weren't famous, no one was interested in watching them.
Zhang Yaozong's personal students immediately felt their spirits trembling. Even Duan Qiao and Han Zisheng were no exception. No one would feel that there were too few opportunities to become famous.
"In that case, who wants to go first?"
Governor Fang smiled and asked.
As the sound of his voice faded, Ying Baiwu stepped out from the crowd and looked at Li Silin. "This student, please guide me!"
Hua ~
A commotion broke out. Sun Mo's student was so unyielding!
"You guys have doubted my teacher time and time again. As his student, I don't have the capabilities and can't share my teacher's worries. Hence, I can only fight!"
Ying Baiwu looked at Li Silin. "Please guide me!"
"Have you thought it through? I'm at the spirit-refinement realm!"
Li Silin stared at Ying Baiwu with a mocking expression.
"Just nice, if you are at the body-refinement realm, there's no need for me to fight anymore!"
Ying Baiwu heaved a sigh of relief.
This expression completely infuriated Li Silin. (What do you mean by this? Do you think you can win against me for sure just because I'm at the body-refinement realm?)
(Since you are courting death, I'll grant you your wish.)
Upon thinking of how he had to kneel because of Sun Mo's Profound Words, Li Silin decided to kill Ying Baiwu. Hence, he revealed a troubled expression.
"Swords have no eyes, if I'm injured..."
"Then let's have a life-and-death battle. There's no resentment between life and death!"
Ying Baiwu didn't wait for Li Silin to finish speaking.
"Baiwu, don't talk nonsense!"
Sun Mo frowned. Li Silin was clearly trying to agitate Ying Baiwu, wanting her to take the initiative to propose a life-and-death battle!
"Teacher, I won't lose!"
Ying Baiwu turned her head and spoke in a firm tone, "If I lose, it means that I'm not worthy to be your personal student!"
Hiss!
Upon hearing this, the guests were shocked while the great teachers revealed looks of envy. This young girl worshipped Sun Mo a lot. In order to protect his glory, she actually wanted to engage in a life-and-death battle.
I also want this kind of student!
"Teacher Sun, your disciple's filial piety is truly admirable."
Li Zixing said, "Si Lin, in that case, give him some pointers. Remember, don't hurt him!"
"Yes, father!"
Li Silin held the sword hilt with one hand and stepped out, facing Ying Baiwu directly.
"Men, go get this female student's weapon!"
Governor Fang instructed.
From this point, one could see the disparity between their statuses. When Sun Mo and the others entered the Linjiang Hall, they had to hand over their weapons. However, Li Silin didn't need to.
Because he was a young prince.
This was differential treatment.
"Little Momo, can she do it?"
An Xinhui furrowed her brows and asked in a low voice. Ying Baiwu was clearly a few years younger than Li Silin. If they fought, Ying Baiwu would surely be at a disadvantage.
Li Silin was also very scheming. He was worried that others would stop the competition, so he quickly spoke up.
"Li Silin, Spirit Refinement realm, please guide me!"
