In the evening, Sun Mo exited the Battlegod Canyon and ascended to the mountain peak that was filled with maple trees. He emptied his mind while admiring the sunset.
The orange sunset dyed the sky like a wheat field waiting to be harvested.
"So beautiful!"
Sun Mo subconsciously touched his pocket, wanting to take out his phone to take a photo, only to discover that there was nothing there.
Sigh!
This was not convenient, so he could only keep the scenery in his memory.
"Turning into stone isn't bad either. At least I don't have to worry anymore."
Jin Mujie stood next to Sun Mo and let out a faint sigh.
At the top of the mountain, the protruding stone was still there, and the stone statue on it still maintained the posture of looking up at the sky, unchanged.
"But it would also be a lot less fun."
Sun Mo didn't need to tilt his head. From the corner of his eyes, he could see the two large papayas. He didn't know which stinky man would benefit from them in the future.
"That's right. To Teacher Sun, being famous at a young age, handsome and talented, having a high status and authority, as well as having a lot of money in his pockets, it would be a lot less fun if he were to become a stone statue."
Jin Mujie's lips twitched.
Other than envy, there was also a tinge of sourness in his tone.
There was no solution to it. When she saw how outstanding Sun Mo's students were and how much they loved him, and Sun Mo himself didn't let down the expectations of his personal students, she felt very upset.
"Er, Jin shi..."
Sun Mo was bewildered and looked at Jin Mujie, thinking, 'I didn't offend you, right?'
"Sorry, I misspoke."
After saying that, Jin Mujie turned and left quickly.
How could he say that?
It was too rude, and it made him seem narrow-minded.
Jin Mujie had followed Sun Mo all the way here, wanting to look for him to discuss his experiences in teaching students. However, in the end, the pride of a 3-star great teacher and a senior made her unable to speak.
"Maybe he's in a bad mood?"
Sun Mo looked at Jin Mujie's departing back view and didn't blame her. He also knew that this great beauty from the Central Province Academy had accumulated a lot of pressure recently.
Speaking of which, her figure was really good!
Unfortunately, the clothing of the natives of the Nine Regions was too conservative, and he couldn't see anything. If they wore the white-collar uniforms in the movies, wouldn't they be so beautiful?
Wait,
The Nine Regions didn't seem to be monogamous, right?
"Host, your thoughts are so dirty!"
The system said in disdain.
"How is it dirty?"
Sun Mo's lips twitched. How many women did high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants keep outside? If they were discovered, they could just say that their style wasn't good, and the big problem would be reduced to a small one. No one would pursue the matter.
If an ordinary person was caught eating fast food, not only would he be fined, but he would also have to inform his family and work unit. Basically, he would die in society.
Sun Mo had a colleague who died just like that. This was why it was said that commoners didn't have the capital to act recklessly. It was fine as long as they remained stable as leeks.
"You are a master teacher, so please conduct yourself with integrity!"
The system reminded him.
"Why don't I become a monk?"
Sun Mo rolled his eyes.
I've been in Jinling for more than a year, and I've never been to those famous shops and fancy boats on the Qinhuai River. What else do you want me to do?
Of course, Sun Mo was only saying those words out of anger. He would definitely not become a monk.
After coming down from the mountain, Sun Mo casually found a restaurant to have a meal. After that, he returned to the camp and continued to study the sword scars.
"Teacher, tea for you!"
An Rou obediently placed a cup of white tea beside Sun Mo's table.
She knew that her teacher had recently taken a liking to this tea.
"Thank you."
Sun Mo smiled.
It was already so late, and the tea shop had long since closed for business. However, this cup of tea was still steaming. Clearly, An Rou had bought it in the afternoon and had just heated it up.
An Rou jumped in fright. In fear and trepidation, she quickly bowed. "Teacher is too polite. It's my good fortune to be able to brew tea for Teacher."
Ding!
Favorable impression points from An Rou + 100. Respect (3,000/10000).
Upon hearing the system notification, Sun Mo was speechless. Very good, he had gained another fangirl. However, what came after that was a heavy pressure.
If he couldn't teach her well, he would be letting down this trust and admiration.
"How's your comprehension progress?"
Sun Mo asked.
Under his guidance, the Central Province Academy's students had all entered the third part of the canyon. Their efficiency was astonishing.
"It's all thanks to Teacher. It's very smooth. I've endured 3,000 streams of sword qi and have some slight gains."
An Rou stood with her hands behind her back and replied respectfully.
"En!"
Sun Mo got up. "Lie down. I'll help you check your body."
An Rou had a joyful look on her face and quickly thanked him. After that, she looked at the clean bed and her heart pounded. This was her teacher's bed.
"Lie down!"
Sun Mo instructed.
"Oh!"
An Rou tossed aside her distracting thoughts and quickly lay down. However, she still secretly sniffed the bedding when Sun Mo wasn't paying attention. There was her teacher's scent.
Sun Mo performed the ancient massage technique, alleviating the fatigue in An Rou's muscles and mental injuries.
15 minutes later, An Rou got up, feeling energetic and in excellent condition. Hence, she thanked him again.
"Can you not be so polite?"
Sun Mo felt helpless. "Oh right, how's Zhou Yu's progress?"
"Not too smooth."
At the mention of this, An Rou's countenance immediately turned heavy. "Teacher, I'm going to the canyon."
(No, I mustn't waste any more time. I must quickly raise my strength and obtain the qualifications to participate in the student battle.)
(However, I must brew tea for Teacher three times a day. I mustn't stop.)
It was because this matter was more important than cultivation.
"Wait a minute!"
Sun Mo called out. After that, he took out a bottle of ancient whale oil and tossed it to An Rou. "Go and look for Teacher Gu. Get her to give you a massage."
"Teacher!"
An Rou instantly became agitated. This oil was said to be miraculous in the entire Central Province Academy. It could be said to be the best supplementary medicine.
It was said that even great teachers couldn't get it even if they spent a lot of money to purchase it.
"Quickly go!"
Sun Mo continued to immerse himself in his research.
His ancient massage technique was at the grandmaster-grade. If he were to give it to An Rou, the effect would naturally be the best. However, she wasn't his student after all. If she were to apply whale oil, it'd be easy for others to criticize her.
Hence, he might as well let Gu Xiuxun do it for him. He could train her technique and also increase her reputation.
After An Rou bowed deeply, she ran off. After she left the campsite, she couldn't hold it in and pulled out the cork.
Hua!
A rich fragrance immediately wafted out.
Just the smell alone stirred An Rou's spirits.
"What's that smell?"
"Is it the fragrance of flowers?"
"It smells so good!"
Exclamations rang out in the surroundings, and there were even people looking around.
An Rou suddenly grew nervous. She quickly stuffed the cork back and ran away.
...
Sun Mo had just entered the state when he was disturbed again.
"Do you have any intentions toward Jin Mujie?"
Li Ruolan walked into the tent. She was drenched in sweat and looked fatigued. Clearly, she had just gone through a tough cultivation.
"Why do you say that?"
Sun Mo felt wronged, but he really didn't have any intentions.
"Why are you so good to her disciple?"
Li Ruolan teased, "You can't possibly have taken a liking to that little girl, right?"
"Oi, some things shouldn't be said recklessly!"
Sun Mo frowned.
"Uhh, alright, I apologize."
Li Ruolan also understood that her words were a little overboard. After apologizing, she sat next to Sun Mo and looked at the spirit runes.
"You're helping An Rou purely because she's a student of the Central Province Academy?"
Li Ruolan had asked someone to buy a set of the giant medicine packet and spring water beauty medicine packet because of their miraculous effects. She heard that there was also an ancient whale oil that was Sun Mo's collection. Those who weren't close to him wouldn't be able to see it. Therefore, she was curious about Sun Mo's generosity.
"What else?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"Since I'm your friend, can I use it?"
Li Ruolan put down the spirit runes. It was like a heavenly book and she couldn't understand it. Therefore, she felt even more admiration for Sun Mo.
He could actually discover that those sword marks were spirit runes?
How amazing!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Li Ruolan + 100. Reverence (13870/100000).
"Are we that familiar with each other?"
After Sun Mo said that, Li Ruolan's little fist landed on his arm.
"Annoying!"
Li Ruolan rolled her eyes at Sun Mo, but she then smiled again.
Sun Mo was quite interesting. He wasn't like other men who would always smile when talking to her, fawning on her and fawning over her.
There was no joy at all.
(Hmph, is there no one who dares to scold me?)
"Haha!"
Sun Mo smiled and took out two bottles of ancient whale oil, passing them to Li Ruolan. "In the future, write a few more good articles to praise me and the Central Province Academy."
In this era, there was no internet or water armies yet. Therefore, it was very difficult to build and spread one's reputation.
For a gold-ranked chief writer like Li Ruolan who was famous in the great teacher world, had a good reputation, integrity, and literary talent, her net worth was very high.
It was because she had too many readers. Some people who weren't from the great teacher world would buy the Great Teacher Report just to read the articles she wrote.
"I didn't expect you to be so materialistic. Very good, I'm going to expose this matter and say that God Hands, Black Doggy Sun, bribed me."
Li Ruolan displayed an awe-inspiring and inviolable attitude.
"If you don't hold on to the whale oil bottle so tightly, I'll believe you."
Sun Mo's lips twitched.
"Haha!"
Li Ruolan laughed uproariously and patted Sun Mo's shoulder hard like she was treating a close male friend. In fact, she laughed until she had no strength left and leaned on Sun Mo.
Sun Mo also felt that such interaction was very good.
In truth, because the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces were a feudal dynasty, the interactions between men and women were very conservative and polite. They were the kind of people who wore embroidered shoes and accidentally revealed their skirts. If you saw it, you'd find a rope to hang yourself on a jujube tree in the backyard.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Li Ruolan accepted it. She would remember Sun Mo's friendship.
"En!"
Given Sun Mo's current rate of harvesting favorable impression points, he basically didn't care about this. If he wanted it, he could buy a dozen at any time.
"Are you busy now?"
Li Ruolan closed the tent's door. After ascertaining that no one would see them, she walked toward the bed.
"No!"
Sun Mo shook his head. (Speaking of which, what are you doing?)
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Li Ruolan unbuttoned her clothes and took off her leather armor. After that, she lay on the bed. "Hurry up."
"I'm being looked down on. Hence, I must clear the third part of the canyon tomorrow."
Li Ruolan was also a very prideful person. She must let that Shi Xingyan know that he was blind to say that her comprehension method wasn't good enough.
(How preposterous!)
(I, Li Ruolan, am 100 times more accurate than you when it comes to judging people.)
There would definitely be no problem with the comprehension method Sun Mo told her.
"Ah?"
Sun Mo was shocked and immediately rejected. "Why don't you get Gu Xiuxun to give you a massage?"
"Her technique isn't good enough."
Li Ruolan wanted efficiency.
"This..."
Sun Mo glanced outside the tent.
"Are you still a man? Hurry up! "
Li Ruolan urged. Actually, she was also quite shy, but in order to slap his face, she was going all out today.
