The two women assessed each other. Their judgmental gazes swept here and there.
"This woman's looks and figure are already sufficient. If she's a little stronger, she would be qualified to be on the Beauty Rankings."
Li Ruolan's lips twitched slightly. This woman beside Sun Mo could at least be given seven points. I deducted one point because I feel that she's too young.
"What a woman with a good demeanor!"
Gu Xiuxun frowned.
Clothes make the man. Most ordinary people would be able to create something like demeanor if they wore some clothes of good quality.
For a woman like Li Ruolan who had an outstanding demeanor, if she chose the right clothes and accessories, the enhancement would definitely be doubled.
For example, right now, she was wearing a plain white dress with purple petals on it. She was wearing sandals with straps on her feet, revealing her fair shoulders and exquisite collarbones. In addition to her slender neck, even Gu Xiuxun, who was a woman, couldn't help but want to kiss her.
"Coquettish fox!"
Gu Xiuxun didn't know why, but she felt very unhappy in her heart. At the same time, she felt a little inferior because she rarely dressed up and was always dressed in teacher attire.
"Hello."
Upon noticing Gu Xiuxun's expression, Li Ruolan's lips curled into a proud smile. There weren't many women who could still maintain their confidence before her.
"I'm Li Ruolan!"
Li Ruolan stretched out her hand and intentionally lifted it a little.
This small movement caused the cuffs of her sleeves to slide down a little, revealing her snow-white wrist and slender fingers.
Her fingernails were also painted with dankou.
"H... hello!"
Gu Xiuxun shook her hand. "I'm Gu Xiuxun!"
"Clean fingers and neat nails. Seven points."
Li Ruolan glanced at her. The shape of Gu Xiuxun's hands wasn't bad, but there were a few calluses on them. One look and she could tell that Gu Xiuxun was the type who trained hard all year round.
If such a hand was placed in a renowned courtesan's eyes, it would definitely be a minus. But to a teacher, it was a plus.
Upon thinking of this, Li Ruolan's attitude toward Gu Xiuxun became slightly better.
"Li Ruolan? Is it that gold-medal main writer of the ? "
Xia Yuan's face lit up as she asked. She could not help but feel happy when she saw Li Ruolan nodding. "I really like the articles you've written, especially that 'Problems That Can Be Solved With Sweat and Blood, Don't Be Solved With Tears'. It's practically a beacon of light in my dark life three years ago."
This was an inspirational article. Once it was published, it caused a huge response.
"Thank you!"
Li Ruolan smiled reservedly. After that, she sneaked a glance at Sun Mo. Did you see that? Actually, I am very famous. You being rude to me is a great offense and loss.
"Ranked eleventh on the Beauty Rankings?"
Gu Xiuxun was astonished. After that, she understood. No wonder she was so beautiful.
"Teacher Gu, compared to my appearance, I hope that you will pay more attention to my talent!"
Li Ruolan spoke calmly, but her words were filled with thorns. She displayed her talent and pride while belittling Gu Xiuxun's shallowness.
"You …"
Gu Xiuxun felt depressed. She was also a smart girl and could understand the hidden meaning behind Li Ruolan's words.
"As the saying goes, only when something is rare would it cause others to be curious. After all, our Teacher Gu also has talent and quite a lot of it. Hence, she doesn't pay too much attention to this."
Sun Mo smiled and helped him out.
Speaking of which, Gu Xiuxun was An Xinhui's crazy fan, a teacher of the Central Province Academy, and also his colleague. The two of them could even be considered close friends...
Hence, when he saw Gu Xiuxun being suppressed by Li Ruolan, Sun Mo naturally had to help her.
Upon hearing this, the three women, as well as Jiang Zhitong who was hesitating whether he should walk over or not, were all stunned.
As for Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo, they were completely ignored.
"Is Sun Mo feeling heartache for me?"
Gu Xiuxun looked at Sun Mo, feeling a good impression in her heart. Usually speaking, men were all bootlickers. When facing a great beauty like Li Ruolan, they would definitely pay attention to their image at all times, deeply afraid of offending her. However, Sun Mo actually rebuked Li Ruolan for her sake?
(Could it be that Sun Mo likes me?)
(No, it can't be like this. You are Sister An's fiance!)
(Also, I can't do anything that would let Sister An down!)
(However, the feeling of being protected by someone isn't bad!)
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Gu Xiuxun + 100. Reverence (19100/100000).
Upon hearing the system's notification, Sun Mo felt a little surprised. (Masochist, what's wrong with you recently? The frequency of you contributing favorable impression points is a little too high. Are you competing with Lu Zhiruo and the others for the throne of my number one crazy fan?)
"Teacher Sun!"
Xia Yuan was shocked. She wanted to remind Sun Mo to mind his words, but she was worried that Li Ruolan would hear it. One must know that Li Ruolan was a top writer and a famous reporter. She had a very great influence in the great teacher world and media circles. If she hated him and wrote a few random articles, Sun Mo's reputation would probably be ruined.
"Is he playing the game of loosening the reins only to grasp better? Or is he really protecting Gu Xiuxun? However, his mouth is really quite poisonous! "
Li Ruolan guessed, feeling a little unhappy in her heart.
"Also, forget about the interview. A minor character like me isn't worth mentioning."
Sun Mo tactfully rejected.
"Teacher Sun is too humble. With your current limelight, if you claim to be number two, no one would dare to claim to be number one. After all, you are the first person to score full marks in two subjects!"
Li Ruolan flattered.
Sun Mo smiled and didn't reply. Instead, he called out to the others, "Let's go!"
"Eh?"
Seeing that Sun Mo was about to leave, Li Ruolan felt a little anxious. "Since you don't have time for the interview, why don't we have dinner together? You can't possibly be hungry, right? "
"I always eat in my room!"
Sun Mo smiled.
"..."
After being rejected repeatedly, Li Ruolan's expression grew a little uncomfortable. (Hmph, I thought that you could score 9 points, but now, you are only left with 8, no, 7 points.)
"Beauty, he doesn't have time, but I do. Why don't we have dinner together?"
A young man grinned and walked straight over.
"Who are you?"
After Li Ruolan spoke in an unhappy tone, she felt regret in her heart. She had lost her poise. To a famous reporter, this was a loss of composure. However, this Sun Mo was really infuriating.
"Shan Shi."
After the young man said that, not only Li Ruolan, but everyone's expressions also turned solemn. It was because this was also an examinee who scored full marks in two subjects.
"I wasn't famous in the past, but it doesn't matter. After this examination, my name will resound through the great teacher world!"
Shan Shi smiled, feeling very confident. After that, he sent out an invitation to Li Ruolan. "Now, can we have a meal together?"
Li Ruolan glanced at Sun Mo and her lips twitched. "Sure!"
"Haha!"
Shan Shi laughed loudly as if he had won against Sun Mo. "Sun Mo, I'll definitely win against you!"
Shan Shi had wanted to put on a condescending attitude, but he discovered that Sun Mo wasn't short. He could only look at him at eye level.
"Do you have amnesia? You've already said this before the first round of the examination. There's no need for you to say it a second time. "
Sun Mo picked his ears. "Also, your laughter is very unpleasant to hear. Please stay further away from me."
"Eh!"
Li Ruolan was stunned and looked at Sun Mo in astonishment. The majority of famous people treasured their feathers a lot. In public, they would usually pay attention to their words and bearing. However, this Sun Mo actually scolded her?
(But I like it!)
(I'll give you another point!)
"You..."
Shan Shi's countenance turned dark and his anger surged.
Sun Mo couldn't be bothered with him and directly left. (Not convinced? Then let's fight!)
...
Shan Shi stared at Sun Mo's back view. After Sun Mo walked some distance away, he looked toward Li Ruolan and revealed a smile. "Beauty, what do you want to eat? It's my treat! "
"Aiya!"
Li Ruolan exclaimed in shock and quickly took out her pocket watch to take a look. "I forgot that I still have an interview later. I'm sorry. I'll treat you next time when I'm free."
After saying that, Li Ruolan didn't wait for Shan Shi to speak and directly ran off.
She had agreed to have a meal with Shan Shi only to provoke Sun Mo. Since Sun Mo wasn't interested in having a meal with her, she wasn't interested in brushing Shan Shi off.
(There's no solution to it. I don't like ugly people!)
(Although you're just an ordinary ugly person, I can only give you three points. There are countless men lined up behind me who deserve three points. If I were to agree to all of their invitations, wouldn't I be stuffed to death?)
"I've sworn that I won't let anyone fool me in the future!"
Shan Shi's eyes narrowed and he clenched his fists tightly. He stared at Li Ruolan's back view like a savage wolf staring at a big white goose. "You'll definitely regret brushing me off!"
(Treat me to a meal?)
(You didn't even ask for my name!)
After returning to the hotel, Shan Shi discovered that his personal disciple Gui Jiarong wasn't around. He was so angry that he smashed his teacup.
In the evening, Gui Jiarong returned.
"Where did you go?"
Shan Shi berated.
"I found a few kittens to amuse myself!"
Gui Jiarong chortled. "Very fun!"
Pak!
Shan Shi waved his hand and fiercely slapped Gui Jiarong's face. "I told you before not to make a move and to do whatever you want during the competition. Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"
"Teacher, I won't let anyone see me!"
Gui Jiarong argued.
Pak! Pak! Pak!
Shan Shi slapped Gui Jiarong three more times and bellowed, "You're not allowed to talk back. Everything you have is given to you by me. You have to be quiet and obedient."
Gui Jiarong wiped away the fresh blood at the corner of his lips and lowered his head. "Teacher, I was wrong."
"That's more like it!"
Shan Shi rubbed Gui Jiarong's head. "Go and rest. Conserve your energy and wait for the battle segment to crush all those students!"
Sun Mo's results were very good and could become a hot topic. However, at night, no one talked about Sun Mo anymore.
It was because another three students had all their bones broken and were tossed into the sewers.
For a time, the students were in a state of panic.
The Saint Gate was enraged and sent more people to patrol and investigate. However, there were too many people swarming into Westmountain City during the examination period. This greatly increased the difficulty of capturing the ferocious beasts.
On the second day, the third round of the on-site lecture examination began.
Sun Mo's Medical Cultivation class was scheduled for the second round in the morning. As for the spirit runes class, it was scheduled for 6 pm. It was another unlucky time.
However, Sun Mo didn't mind.
...
Early morning, in the office.
"Teacher Li, whose class are you going to listen to?"
Liang Hongda personally poured a cup of tea for Li Ruolan.
"Sun Mo, Great Teacher Sun!"
Li Ruolan had long since thought it through.
She was a specially invited reporter and had the qualifications to listen in. The Saint Gate also hoped to make use of her influence to conduct a wave of positive publicity for the Saint Gate.
"Hehe, as expected of Sun Mo!"
Liang Hongda chuckled. "However, he is already very famous. There's no need to waste time, right? Why don't we go and unearth a few newbies? "
