Sun Mo hadn't known Yue Rongbo for a long time. In fact, they had only met a few times. However, the two of them got along well and were friends.
Now that something had happened to Yue Rongbo, Sun Mo naturally had to help.
"Where was the last place Teacher Yue appeared at? Also, during these few months, did he have any abnormal behavior? Also, who did he come into contact with in the last half a month? Have you investigated? "
Sun Mo immediately asked a series of questions.
If it was someone else who heard so many questions, they'd definitely feel that Sun Mo didn't want to help and was purposely making things difficult for them. However, Yu Yuhong didn't. On the contrary, her spirits stirred and her confidence in Sun Mo grew.
It was because these questions were all crucial points.
Sun Mo instantly thought of them. This proved that her brain was really good and she was willing to consider these questions. This meant that she could help.
"I'll thank Teacher Sun in advance."
Yu Yuhong bent down and bowed.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Yu Yuhong + 300. Friendly (610/1,000).
Sun Mo hurriedly stood up and modestly declined. "Teacher Yu is too polite."
Sun Mo was someone who had watched many romance dramas and had experience. Seeing that Yu Yuhong's eyes were swollen like peaches, he knew that she had cried a lot. This meant that her relationship with Yue Rongbo must be very close.
After listening to Yu Yuhong's introduction, Sun Mo sank into contemplation.
If Yue Rongbo met with an accident, then the range of suspects could be reduced by a lot. After all, in the Nine Provinces, 4-star great teachers had high statuses and authority. There wouldn't be many people who would dare to act against them.
"Master, let me do it. I'm good at finding people!"
The scarab recommended itself.
"Oh? Didn't I see that you have the talent to be a dog? "
Sun Mo teased.
"..."
The scarab's face turned black. Sun Mo's tongue was really poisonous. If this was in Egypt and someone dared to humiliate its guardian, they'd definitely be skinned and buried by bugs.
(Forget it, I'll endure it first!
When I'm free in the future, everyone from the Central Province Academy has to die.)
"Master, I'm not joking."
The scarab recommended itself again. Right now, it had to display its strength and gain Sun Mo's trust so that it could have a 'full meal'. Also, when it went out to look for people, it could also eat souls.
"How do you plan to find them?"
Sun Mo asked.
"..."
The scarab was silent. What was it supposed to say?
I can't tell you that I used to use dark magic to search for delicious souls within a radius of several hundred kilometers, and as long as I saw them, I would send down an oracle and have the priests capture those young men and women for me to eat, right?
Although they had only interacted for a few days, the scarab could be sure that Sun Mo was a good person. If Sun Mo knew what it had done, it would be strange if its soul wasn't destroyed.
In the eyes of the Easterners, he might be a demon, right?
"What benefits do you want?"
Sun Mo, who didn't know that he had been labeled as a good guy, changed the topic. He knew that the scarab wouldn't help for free.
"You're not allowed to call me Old Armor in the future, and you're not allowed to use derogatory terms. I'm the guardian of a country, after all. How about this, call me Pharaoh."
The scarab decided to change its name to Pharaoh to reminisce about the past.
"Alright, Old First, the next condition."
Sun Mo urged.
"…"
The scarab really wanted to bite through Sun Mo's skull and suck out the brain juices inside before spitting them out on the ground.
"Alright, let's talk about proper matters. If you are looking for someone, what preparations do you need?"
If it wasn't for Yue Rongbo, Sun Mo wouldn't allow this bug to state a price.
"I want to go to that Yue-something's house to take a look. After that, I'll go to the place where he last appeared."
After hearing the scarab's words, Sun Mo nodded. This was also the place he was planning to go.
...
After spending three hours, Sun Mo followed Yu Yuhong around and summoned the scarab, getting it to act on its own. After that, he went to Old Wolf Ren's house.
Sun Mo wouldn't place all his hopes on the scarab. Speaking of finding people to gather information, Old Wolf Ren and the others were still the best.
...
In the courtyard where the shadows of the trees swayed, Old Wolf Ren and a few of his friends were half-naked and sitting at a round table, drinking wine.
"Let me tell you guys, I've followed Great Teacher Sun for a period of time. As long as I beg him, my son will be able to get his guidance."
Old Wolf Ren's face and ears were flushed from drinking. He felt a little intoxicated and started bragging unknowingly.
"Why don't I believe it? Do you know how many rich and powerful people want to send their children to Sun Mo's place to learn? In the end, they can't even find someone to pass the message to them. "
Duan Xiao spoke in disdain.
He was also one of the local tyrants of Jinling. The nature of his work was similar to Old Wolf Ren's, but the territory he occupied was different. The two of them could be considered enemies but also friends.
If there were no external enemies, they would fight for food. If there were external enemies, they would work together to deal with them. In any case, the food in this circle could only be enjoyed by them.
"That's right, Old Wolf, your bragging is a little too big. Right now, Great Teacher Sun is the most famous great teacher in Jinling."
"I didn't expect that the twin annulus of Jinling who were in the limelight last year would become yesterday's salted fish. Right now, the number one big brother of Jinling is Sun Mo."
"What do you mean by yesterday's salted fish? That's yesterday's daylily. Can those who are uncultured talk less? "
A bunch of men were chatting idly, but no one believed Old Wolf Ren's words. Who the hell do you think you are?
To put it in an unpleasant way, if Sun Mo was the clouds in the sky, you wouldn't even be considered the mud on the ground. You're just a maggot in a lowly industry.
If someone like you saw Sun Mo, you would have to lower your head and avoid him from afar. Do you understand?
"I'm really acquainted with Great Teacher Sun."
Old Wolf Ren grew anxious.
"Alright, alright. Let's drink."
Duan Xiao couldn't be bothered to pressure Old Wolf Ren on this matter. On the contrary, he felt a little sad because everyone was from a lowly industry. Even if they entered a famous school, they wouldn't be able to get a good teacher.
When they investigated your father and found out that you were in this industry, they would chase you out directly. It was already good enough that you weren't beaten up.
"You probably only helped Sun Mo with some matters before, right? That can't be considered acquainted. If not, would you have called him over to drink? "
A baldy teased and raised his cup. "Come, let's drink!"
Old Wolf Ren thought about it and his expression turned a little dispirited. He then drank a mouthful of wine.
At this moment, a knocking sound rang out.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Who is it? Can't you see this daddy is drinking? "
Duan Xiao cursed.
"It's me, Sun Mo. May I know if Old Wolf Ren is at home?"
As the voice drifted in from outside, the seven men who were toasting each other were all stunned.
"I... I didn't hear wrongly, right? This Sun Mo can't be that Sun Mo, right? "
The baldy gulped down a mouthful of saliva.
"It shouldn't be that person!"
A muscular man with an azure dragon tattoo on his shoulder had just finished speaking when he saw Old Wolf Ren stretching out his hand and slapping Duan Xiao's face.
Pak!
The sound of the slap was crisp and clear.
"Have you gone mad?"
Duan Xiao roared.
"F * * *, if Sun Mo hates me because of what you said earlier, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost."
After Old Wolf Ren scolded, he hurriedly got up and ran to open the door. He didn't dare to let Sun Mo wait for too long.
The remaining people looked at each other in dismay.
"What are you guys still standing there for?"
Duan Xiao urged, "Pack your things!"
Usually, if Old Wolf Ren dared to hit him, he'd definitely fight to the death with him. But today, Duan Xiao felt fear in his heart.
"Speaking of which, should we go out to welcome Great Teacher Sun?"
Just when the few of them were still conflicted, Old Wolf Ren had already bent his back and led the way, bringing Sun Mo into the house.
Duan Xiao and the others were also guys who were used to fighting. However, they were like little chicks at this moment. They stood up and did their best to squeeze out a smile.
"F * * *, Old Wolf Ren, you really know Sun Mo?"
Duan Xiao was dumbfounded.
They all relied on selling information for a living. If Duan Xiao and the others didn't know Sun Mo, the most popular person in Jinling, they could just dig their eyeballs out and stomp on them.
This was especially so a few days ago when Headmaster Cao brought his great teacher circle to challenge the Central Province Academy. In the end, Sun Mo single-handedly defeated almost half of the great teacher circle. Sun Mo's name directly resounded through Jinling.
"Gathering for another meal?"
Sun Mo frowned. "Sorry, I've disturbed you."
"Great Teacher Sun, you're making things difficult for me!"
Old Wolf Ren had a self-mocking smile. "Please come in. Husband, what are you doing? Quickly brew some tea, brew that tea brick that I've treasured. "
"There's no need to be so troublesome."
Sun Mo felt a little helpless toward Old Wolf Ren's respect.
"Then shall we talk in the courtyard?"
Old Wolf Ren was an expert in discerning one's thoughts and body language. He basically wouldn't give Sun Mo any chance to be unhappy. After asking, he started to chase them away.
"Old Duan, quickly scram. I'll treat you guys to a meal next time."
Duan Xiao and the others dilly-dallied.
This was Sun Mo. If they missed this opportunity, they probably wouldn't have such a chance to interact with Sun Mo anymore in their entire lives.
Old Wolf Ren took off his shoes and was prepared to throw them over.
(If this daddy gets into Sun Mo's good books, this daddy will break off all relations with you guys.)
Duan Xiao and the others went out, but they couldn't bear to leave. Instead, they walked half a round and leaned on the wall, secretly peeking out.
In the courtyard, Sun Mo asked Old Wolf Ren to sit, but the latter didn't dare to.
"Old Wolf Ren really knows Sun Mo? This is really impressive! "
The baldy exclaimed in shock.
"Damn, what kind of dog shit luck did Old Wolf Ren have to climb up to Sun Mo's thigh?"
Duan Xiao was so jealous that his eyes turned red.
However, what made him even more jealous was what happened next. After the two of them finished their conversation, Old Wolf Ren called his son out and kowtowed before Sun Mo.
Sun Mo stopped him. After that, he didn't see any movement and a 'spiritual beast' with bulging muscles and shiny skin appeared. It was wearing a small vest and had a purple headscarf wrapped around its head.
Old Wolf Ren's son didn't have any talent. This was publicly acknowledged. In the end, he was kneaded by that 'spiritual beast' and a tremendous amount of spirit qi gathered and gushed into his body.
Even though Duan Xiao and the others didn't have much experience, they knew that this was a breakthrough.
"The Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands is actually so terrifying?"
Because Duan Xiao was too shocked, his body stiffened. By the time he saw Old Wolf Ren's son breaking through, his body was already numb because he hadn't moved for a long time.
With a thud, he fell to the ground.
"Great Teacher Sun is leaving!"
The few of them didn't go to help Duan Xiao up. Instead, they anxiously ran toward the door. At the very least, they had to get familiar with Sun Mo.
Duan Xiao gritted his teeth and climbed up as well. He then ran toward the door with a limp.
When Sun Mo went out, he saw a few men standing in a row outside with humble smiles on their faces.
"Hello, Teacher Sun!"
These people usually had the gift of the gab and could swindle honest people to the point of bankruptcy. But at this moment, they were as obedient as newborn bunnies.
"Drink less wine. Don't drink more than two taels each time."
Sun Mo instructed again and left hurriedly.
"How is it? Do you believe my words now? "
Old Wolf Ren was very complacent. This was especially so after his son successfully broke through. As expected, he had to get to know Sun Mo better.
Duan Xiao and the others exchanged a mutual glance and called out.
"Brother Wolf, from today onward, you are the number one boss in Jinling."
Duan Xiao flashed a thumbs-up with a humble expression, no longer as arrogant as before.
(As long as you can get Sun Mo to display his God Hands and give my son some pointers, allowing him to break through, I dare to call you 'father' three times.)
For his son's future, Duan Xiao was willing to go all out.
"Haha!"
Old Wolf Ren laughed uproariously. He was already middle-aged, but he had never felt so elated before.
(Sun Mo is really my great benefactor!)
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Old Wolf Ren + 1,000. Respect (3,100/10000).
...
Things like finding people couldn't be rushed.
In order to deal with the possible dangers, Sun Mo decided to open the two golden treasure chests first before eating the Divine Force Fruit and leveling up.
After returning to the villa, Sun Mo asked Dong He about Lu Zhiruo's whereabouts. He knew that she had come and was currently feeding an immortal crane in the back garden.
"Immortal crane?"
Sun Mo frowned. Was this the papaya girl's new spiritual beast?
He walked over on the cobblestone path. Before he entered the back garden, he could already smell a strong fragrance of wine.
"What the hell?"
Sun Mo frowned.
Ga ga!
Was this the cry of an immortal crane?
It sounded so unpleasant!
Very soon, Sun Mo saw Lu Zhiruo hugging a wine jar and running away. Behind her, an exuberant and handsome immortal crane was chasing after her.
It was as if it had walked out from an ancient painting. Its feathers were pure white, and its figure was beautiful. With a single glance, one could tell that it was exuding immortal qi. It was a divine beast.
It was just that the immortal crane's current actions had destroyed its immortal-like demeanor.
It was like a tyrant who wanted to abduct girls, constantly blocking Lu Zhiruo's path and using its wings to smack her head.
"You've already drunk a lot. You can't drink anymore."
The papaya girl hugged the wine jar with both hands. Even though her face had been smacked by the crane's wings a few times, she didn't let go.
Ga ga!
The immortal crane was angered. It actually flapped its wings and leaped up. Its claws came together and kicked toward the papaya girl.
Bang!
Lu Zhiruo staggered from the kick.
"..."
Sun Mo was dumbfounded. This flying kick of the immortal crane was so skillful, ferocious, and filled with intimidation. It was like a football player who was infamous for his ruthlessness.
(Even the football players in the Chinese Super League aren't as ruthless as you, alright?)
Lu Zhiruo couldn't run anymore. She decided to squat on the ground.
Ga ga!
The immortal crane directly jumped onto Lu Zhiruo's back.
"Usually, Zhiruo's physique is one that attracts small animals. Why is she so unlucky this time around?"
While feeling puzzled, Sun Mo also pulled out his wooden blade and tossed it over.
(Who cares if you are an immortal crane or a wild chicken? There's no wild animal protection law in the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces. If you infuriate this daddy, I'll wash you, pluck your feathers, stew soup, and drink it.)
