Zhou Pei didn't move from start to end.
There would always be some people who held onto the mentality of luck after doing bad things, thinking that they wouldn't be discovered by others.
Sun Mo wasn't in the mood to waste time with Zhou Pei. Hence, he walked toward the window.
There were five potted plants, planted with ornamental green plants.
"If I didn't guess wrongly, these should belong to Zhou Pei, right?"
Sun Mo asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Pei's heart thumped, jumping up to his throat.
"Zhou Pei majored in herbology. There's nothing wrong with him growing some flowers and plants, right?"
Wang Meng counter-asked.
"..."
Sun Mo frowned. (Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be?) He couldn't help but look at Little Sparrow. (Why would you fall in love with such trash?
You've been harmed by others, yet you're still counting money for them.)
"In that case, which potted plant did he bring back at the end?"
Sun Mo asked again.
"Who knows?"
Wang Meng's lips twitched. "I cultivate every day, who would care about this?"
This time around, there was no need for Sun Mo to say anything. Little Sparrow lifted her elbow and ruthlessly smashed it into Wang Meng's chest.
"Where's your observation skills? You're telling me you don't know that there's a potted plant in your dorm? If you can't even care about such a small matter, what achievements can you have in the future? "
Little Sparrow reprimanded like she was reprimanding a dog.
"I... I..."
Wang Meng didn't dodge. Instead, he lowered his head and allowed Little Sparrow to scold him.
"Green radish, vine grass, other than this broken-faced peony, none of them are valuable. It's impossible for them to be ornamental. Why do you want to grow these?"
Sun Mo's lips twitched. "Even if you have a special hobby, I can't find anything in common between these potted plants."
Zhou Pei was still silent and kept reminding himself to stay calm. That thing was so well-hidden, Sun Mo would definitely not be able to find it.
"You guys only saw that I got full marks in the study of spirit runes and the study of spiritual control. Do you guys think that I'm weak in the other subjects? Let me tell you a secret, my botany knowledge is also very impressive. "
As Sun Mo spoke, he flicked his finger at the plant that looked like a mushroom. "Interesting, you even dare to plant graveyard moss. Do you feel that the dampness in the room isn't heavy enough?"
Upon hearing the word 'botany', Mei Ziyu involuntarily glanced at Sun Mo. (Your botany knowledge isn't bad either.)
Xiao Que's eyes lit up. (As expected of the teacher I admire, he is indeed knowledgeable and talented.)
"Can't this absorb moisture?"
Without needing Zhou Pei to explain, Wang Meng interjected.
Jinling was a city in the south of the Yangtze River. Because of the frequent rains in the summer, it was particularly humid. The Graveyard Moss had a habit of absorbing the moisture in the air and becoming dry.
"The disadvantages outweigh the advantages!"
Sun Mo didn't have Divine Sight, but it didn't matter. He could already see a huge lump on the roots of the graveyard moss.
Mei Ziyu walked over. When she saw this, her expression changed.
"Could this be a Dead Spirit Spot?"
Li Ziqi and the other two also came over. After the little sunny egg saw this, she couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"What's that?"
Wang Meng frowned. It didn't sound like anything good.
"It's a very rare kind of moss. It's a parasitic plant that feeds on dead spirits and souls. It can spread and use the seeds of plants or the hair of animals to migrate. It can even grow on people's bodies. After a long time, it will make people tired and drowsy. In the end, they will lose consciousness and become the puppet of the Dead Spirit Spot. It's very difficult to get rid of it."
Lu Zhiruo explained.
Mei Ziyu was astonished. (You even know such obscure knowledge?)
"Ah?"
Wang Meng jumped in fright.
"However, this thing is very valuable. It's a medicinal catalyst used to concoct certain soul-type alchemy pills. One stalk can be sold for a few hundred thousand spirit stones."
After Li Ziqi finished speaking, Wang Meng and Little Sparrow's breathing stopped.
As for Zhou Pei, his expression didn't change because he already knew about it.
"A few hundred thousand silver coins? How much is it worth? "
Wang Meng counted with his fingers, wanting to count. In the end, Little Sparrow slapped his head.
"It's spirit stones!"
Li Ziqi glanced at Wang Meng. (So not only are you stupid, but your hearing isn't good either!)
"Spirit... spirit stones? A few hundred thousand? "
Wang Meng suddenly felt his teeth aching. He even felt some lingering fear. What if he lost such an expensive item just like that?
"Zhou Pei, why don't you tell us your story?"
Sun Mo sat down.
"I'm unwilling to accept this!"
Since things had come to this, there was no longer a need to hide anything. "You guys have also seen it. Wang Meng is so stupid. What qualifications does he have to win Little Sparrow's heart?"
"Ah?"
At this moment, Wang Meng finally understood.
"Brother Pei!"
Little Sparrow stopped him.
"Shut up!"
Zhou Pei berated. After that, he questioned, "Which part of me is inferior to him? Also, I've lived together with you for ten years! "
"But I've always treated you as an elder brother!"
Little Sparrow was helpless. How could something like love be forced?
"Brother Pei, I know you treat me well. But when I'm with you, you do everything for me. I feel like I'm trash. But when I'm with Wang Meng, I can take care of him, scold him, and reprimand him. Moreover, he has never resisted. This feeling makes me feel very comfortable when I'm with him."
Little Sparrow had a valiant personality and spoke her mind directly.
Zhou Pei was stunned. (Could it be that it's wrong for me to take care of you?)
"Sigh!"
Sun Mo sighed. Zhou Pei thought that treating Little Sparrow well was because he loved her. But in truth, Little Sparrow liked to 'tame' Wang Meng.
That feeling was like he was raising a puppy.
"Let's talk about your love later!"
When Li Ziqi saw Zhou Pei's defeated look, she knew that he had a hard time organizing his words. Hence, she explained for him.
"You learned herbology. During an accidental gathering process, you discovered the dead spirit spot on this graveyard moss and got to know this dead spirit. After that, maybe you wanted to protect your life or maybe you wanted to obtain Little Sparrow, you agreed to help this dead spirit find a puppet.
"Given your intellect, you secretly leaked this news to Wang Meng and then used the title of being the top ranker in the cohort to incite him. He would definitely take the bait and 'try his luck'. After that, he 'subdued' this dead spirit.
"In truth, the dead spirit that Wang Meng 'recruited' was just a facade. The real one was living as a parasite on the graveyard moss.
"Wang Meng thought that he had succeeded. Hence, he was careless and let down his guard. As a result, he was devoured by the dead spirit and lost his intelligence.
"What about you? Did you take the initiative to ask for help? Maybe you were putting on an act to prove your friendship with Wang Meng and get rid of the suspicion of killing him? Or maybe you wanted to kill two birds with one stone, waiting for the dead spirit to finish off Wang Meng before getting a teacher to finish off the dead spirit and get rid of this matter completely. "
Li Ziqi spoke frankly with assurance and logic, listing out all the possibilities.
"This student of yours is so impressive!"
Mei Ziyu praised in a low voice.
"She is my pride!"
Sun Mo smiled.
The little sunny egg's ears twitched. Her originally calm expression immediately changed. A smile bloomed on her face, resembling the blossoming of a peony.
(Am I really the child that Teacher likes the most?)
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Li Ziqi + 100. Reverence (55250/100000).
"Haha, you are right. I wanted to finish off Wang Meng and then kill that dead spirit. This way, no one would know what I did."
Zhou Pei laughed loudly.
"Everything is going according to plan. I've even considered which teacher I should look for to kill the dead spirit and not discover the matter of the graveyard moss. After that, after I ran out of the dormitory, I saw Teacher Sun."
"At that time, I hesitated. Teacher Sun is too impressive and would he discover my secret? But after all, he isn't a grandmaster in botany and doesn't know about the dead spirit spot. Moreover, his spiritual control technique is also very powerful and would definitely be able to kill that dead spirit immediately.
"Also, with the number one great teacher in Jinling endorsing me, I would definitely not be suspected. It's a pity that the plans of the heavens are inferior to the plans of man."
Honestly speaking, although he had failed this time around, Zhou Pei accepted it wholeheartedly.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Zhou Pei + 1,000. Respect (1,510/10000).
Everyone felt some lingering fear. If Sun Mo didn't know botany, he would definitely not be able to discover the dead spirit spot. This would be a perfect murder.
Moreover, it was a perfect murder that included him.
"You are wrong. Your expression betrayed you. Your emotions fluctuated too much when the little sparrow appeared."
Sun Mo shook his head, not agreeing with Zhou Pei's words.
Mei Ziyu and Li Ziqi couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. Other than their teacher, who would be so meticulous? In any case, their teacher was very impressive, invincible in the world.
There was no one like him.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. It's not important anymore."
Zhou Pei smiled bitterly. He suddenly took a big stride and dashed toward the window. "Little sparrow, I will use my death to prove that I like you more than him."
Bang!
Zhou Pei smashed through the window and jumped down, wanting to commit suicide.
At this moment, a ball of dark spirit qi suddenly erupted from Sun Mo's body. After that, a darkness illusion flashed out and executed the Wind King Divine Steps, leaping out of the window and catching up to Zhou Pei. It grabbed his arm and landed steadily on the ground.
Sun Mo appeared before the window.
"Since you have committed a mistake, you have to accept the punishment. Don't use death to escape. I will report this matter to the school and let Headmaster An make a decision."
Sun Mo sighed. (I gave you a chance to turn back, but you didn't grab it.)
"Ziqi, you will clean up the mess!"
Sun Mo was lazy and let the little sunny egg do it.
"I also want Teacher's observation and analysis abilities."
Lu Zhiruo looked at Sun Mo's departing figure and felt very envious. If she was in his shoes, she would have fallen into his trap.
"Calm down, such a small matter is nothing."
Li Ziqi was used to it.
Downstairs, Mei Ziyu saw Sun Mo's downcast expression and couldn't help but console him. "Don't think too much. Students like Zhou Pei are only in the minority."
"Mn!"
Sun Mo nodded.
Ding!
"Congratulations on saving Wang Meng and completing the mission. Reward: 1x golden treasure chest."
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've unearthed the truth and captured the culprit. You've completed the hidden quest. Reward: one Gold Treasure Chest."
The system gave a second reply, but the reward wasn't top-grade enough.
"Where's the beggar fighting? Where's the mysterious treasure chest? "
Sun Mo scolded purely to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Eat that graveyard moss for me!"
The scarab kept on chattering beside Sun Mo's ears. Just when Sun Mo couldn't take it anymore and wanted to flare up, a young woman came looking for him.
"I'm Yu Yuhong, the vice group leader of Yue Rongbo."
The young woman introduced herself.
Before this, Sun Mo was still feeling strange as to why Yue Rongbo didn't participate in the great teacher group battle. He had thought that Yue Rongbo didn't want to be enemies with him. In the end, Yue Rongbo had disappeared.
However, how could a 4-star great teacher disappear?
