The wind was blowing!
Cold currents whistled past the plains. This was a common sight for the herdsmen. Every time this happened, everyone would hide in their yurts, not going out at all.
The rich could drink goat's milk and eat a hot roasted meat, while the poor could only squeeze their whole family under the leather mattress, praying that the cold current that could blow people's bones into popsicles would pass quickly.
Looking at the scenery?
That didn't exist!
On the plains in winter, there were only withered plants and no wild beasts. It was filled with the loneliness of death.
But at this moment, there were peach blossom petals fluttering in the wind.
They were so bright, so delicate, and the pinkish hue on their bodies added a layer of vitality to this cold winter.
It was as beautiful as a dream!
It was so surreal.
"What the hell? My eyes are playing tricks on me! "
The vice-headmaster subconsciously blinked his eyes, having a dumbfounded look on his face. (Why would I see peach blossom petals fluttering in winter?)
"These are peach blossoms, right?"
"They look like them!"
"What do you mean they look like them? They are clearly peach blossoms!"
"But why are there peach blossoms at this time?"
The great teachers and students on the campus looked at the sky that was filled with flower petals and stretched out their hands to grab them.
Because of the cold weather, when their fingers touched the petals, they felt a refreshing coldness. However, this also made the elegant fragrance of the flowers even more precious.
"Why are you all still in a daze? Go and investigate! "
A few vice-headmasters roared in unison, getting their assistants to quickly find out where these peach blossoms came from.
Everyone looked at the fluttering peach blossoms and for a moment, they were all immersed in this beautiful scenery. They didn't dare to speak loudly because they were worried that they would startle this absolute beauty.
Not long after, the assistants hurriedly ran back, their faces full of panic. "Peach tree … Peach tree …"
"What's wrong with the peach tree?"
The vice-headmasters asked.
"The peach tree has bloomed!"
The assistant said, still having a look of disbelief on his face. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he definitely wouldn't dare to believe it.
"Where is the peach tree from?"
King Wanyan was curious.
"It's a peach forest that our headmaster's wife once planted."
After the assistant spoke, he was interrupted by the vice-headmaster.
"Don't speak nonsense before the king. Didn't that peach forest wither a long time ago?"
The vice-headmaster glared angrily. (Does this assistant have a brain?)
"It's... it's true!"
The assistant wanted to cry but had no tears. I really didn't lie!
"Could it be related to Sun Mo?"
Wanyan Mei blurted.
She recalled the look of indifference and disdain on the vice-headmaster's face when he said that it was impossible for a withered tree to meet spring.
It was as if summer insects couldn't talk about ice!
Yes!
Teacher Sun couldn't be bothered to argue with him.
"No … I don't know. However, those peach trees have mysterious and profound spirit marks on them. They should be the ones that brought those withered peach trees back to life."
The assistant guessed.
All the big shots fell silent and exchanged glances with each other. Shock was written all over their faces.
If this was really the case, then Sun Mo's standard in the study of spirit runes was truly unfathomable.
"Everyone, instead of making wild guesses here, why don't we take a look at the peach blossom forest?"
After Wanyan Xiong Ba finished speaking, he urged his assistant, "Please lead the way."
Thousands of people walked towards the peach blossom forest.
As they got closer and closer, the fragrance of the flowers became stronger and stronger. Then, after they turned around a library, a large patch of pink entered their field of vision without any warning.
In an instant, everyone was stunned and stood there in a daze.
That feeling was like watching lanterns on the night of the Upper Yuan Dynasty and suddenly seeing a peerless beauty in the crowd rubbing shoulders with each other. Even one's mind was captivated by her.
It was the feeling of being moved!
The cold wind blew, causing the peach blossoms on the branches to sway. It was like the withered hands of an evil brothel keeper ravaging young girls.
"Beautiful! Extremely beautiful! "
"The impasse of the human world is nothing more than this!"
"How did he do this?"
The great teachers exclaimed in admiration. Some people couldn't help but rush over, wanting to take a closer look.
"Stop!"
Wanyan Xiong Ba roared.
How could such a beautiful scenery be tainted by the anger of others? Even if they wanted to play in the peach blossom forest, it should be with the young girls and boys.
The eyesight of these vice-headmasters was extremely powerful. Even though they were far away, they could see the spirit marks on the tree branches. They were absorbing spirit qi to nourish the peach trees.
"Xianbei, I'm afraid we have really underestimated Sun Mo this time around."
A vice-headmaster suddenly spoke.
These withered peach blossoms suddenly blossomed. Clearly, it was related to spirit runes. The spirit rune grandmasters of the school clearly didn't have such capabilities.
In that case, Sun Mo was on the verge of appearing.
After all, he had obtained full marks in the spirit rune examination twice.
The vice-headmaster with the surname Xianbei had an awkward look on his face. After all, he was the one who mocked Sun Mo, saying that Sun Mo wouldn't be able to revive a withered tree.
As for the great teacher who said this earlier, he had long since covered his face and fled.
There was no other reason. It was too embarrassing.
(In the future, if I see Sun Mo, I'll definitely avoid him.)
(I can't afford to offend him!)
(Sigh!)
(A genius isn't something mortals like us can imagine.)
"Father..."
Wanyan Mei's gaze burned as she looked at Wanyan Xiong Ba.
"Mei`er, let's wait a while more. If you go and acknowledge a teacher now, Great Teacher Sun will only look down on you."
Wanyan Xiong Ba might seem like a tough guy who used his muscles more than his brain, but his intelligence was actually very high. If not, he wouldn't have been able to sit on the throne.
(Sigh!)
(I didn't give enough gifts!)
Wanyan Xiong Ba suddenly felt regret.
To a 22-year-old great teacher, Wanyan Xiong Ba's gift was definitely a generous one. But to Sun Mo, it wasn't enough.
Because Sun Mo was a spirit rune ancestor.
Many major characters liked rare goods and would invest in young great teachers with potential, hoping to gain the friendship of a high-ranking great teacher in the future. However, Sun Mo was no longer a rare good.
Because he had already proven himself.
He wasn't a high-ranking great teacher. It wasn't that his talent and strength weren't enough. It was because he hadn't taken the exam yet.
Sigh!
(Sun Mo, why must you be someone from the Central Plains?)
After the shock, only intense disappointment and envy remained in Wanyan King's heart.
The Central Plains was truly a place with heavenly treasures and outstanding people.
He had to be convinced!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Wanyan Xiong Ba + 1,000. Respect (1,610/1,000))
"Mn!"
Wanyan Mei looked at the peach blossoms, feeling dazzled. She also started to worry. (What if Teacher Sun doesn't accept me in the future?)
(Sigh!)
(My identity as a princess of the Great Jin Country is completely useless.)
Other great teachers would want nothing more than to be their personal teacher, but Teacher Sun was very calm. It all depended on his mood.
All of a sudden, Wanyan Mei thought of Xianyu Wei, who was following behind Sun Mo. She then started to feel jealous.
"Go, triple the amount of gifts and send them to Great Teacher Sun."
Wanyan Xiong Ba suddenly spoke, instructing the internal supervisor.
When the great teachers heard this, they were all extremely shocked.
The gifts were already so valuable, yet they still wanted to triple it?
However, when their gazes landed on the peach trees, they suddenly felt that such treatment was only right.
Because they were worthy of being called spirit rune ancestor!
...
Ding!
Congratulations, you've obtained a total of 31200 favorable impression points.
Upon hearing the notification, Sun Mo started. Why were there so many? However, when he saw the peach blossoms floating in the sky, he understood.
"Why are there peach blossoms?"
An Xinhui was astonished.
"Sister Xinhui, wait for me. I've completed my bet with a great teacher. I'm going to invite her to join our Central Province Academy now."
Sun Mo smiled.
"You did it?"
An Xinhui's eyes gleamed.
"It's just an insignificant skill!"
Sun Mo didn't claim credit for it.
Only people from the Nine Provinces would be so astonished. If it was in the modern era, even children would know about things like 'big shed vegetables'.
With the scarab as a scout, Sun Mo soon found Murong Mingyue on the rooftop of the Dragon Subduing Library.
From here, he could overlook the peach forest. It was extremely beautiful.
"You can't be thinking of committing suicide, right?"
Sun Mo walked to Murong Mingyue's side. He placed his hands on the railing and looked into the distance.
Murong Mingyue didn't say anything. Her expression was stiff, as if she was waiting for death.
"I've completed my bet."
Sun Mo teased, "How is it? Beautiful, right? "
"This is the most beautiful scenery I've seen in my life."
Murong Mingyue mumbled. (I can die without regrets if I can be buried in the peach forest.)
"Mingyue, let's go to Jiangnan. The scenery there is even more beautiful!"
Sun Mo invited.
"I'm a sinner."
Murong Mingyue smiled in self-mockery.
"Do you know why that Saint Gate's sect leader didn't give the order to capture you?"
Sun Mo turned his head and looked at Murong Mingyue. "Because he wants you to atone for your sins. Death? That's too good for you. Why not let you live and spend your entire life teaching and educating others? "
Through An Xinhui, Sun Mo already knew the identity of the middle-aged man he was talking to.
After all, the death of the Dragon Subduing Academy's headmaster was a major incident. Only a top-notch major character like the Saint Gate's sect leader had the authority to judge and give a verdict that everyone approved of.
"Mingyue, the reason why you're seeking death is because you've never lived for yourself. Ask yourself honestly, are you willing to die like this?"
Sun Mo looked at the sky.
"You love puppets so much, but have you ever made a puppet toy for yourself?"
"Mingyue, from today onward, no one will restrict you. You can live freely and be the puppet toy you want to be. You can fully display the thoughts in your mind."
Sun Mo turned his head and looked at Murong Mingyue.
"Humans will make mistakes. I feel that you're the kind that's worthy of forgiveness."
Boohoohoo!
Murong Mingyue, whose face was already covered in tears, couldn't hold it in any longer and cried out bitterly.
Her life had been tough during these years. Her uncle had always used the country's righteousness to kidnap her, forcing her to use the puppet art in those evil places.
But she really didn't like it.
She remembered that when she was young, she saw her neighbor's little brother breaking his leg and finding it hard to walk. He could no longer graze and could only ride on a handsome horse.
She then started to learn the puppet art and made a prosthetic limb for him.
She watched as her little brother mounted the warhorse once again and was able to chase after the clouds and moon on the verdant plains, laughing...
At that moment, Murong Mingyue fell deeply in love with the art of puppetry.
"It's over!"
Sun Mo hugged Murong Mingyue and gently patted her back. "Everything is in the past now."
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Murong Mingyue + 10000. Reverence (13100/100000).
Very good, he had successfully obtained a beautiful foreign race, great teacher, and puppet grandmaster!
