Chapter 1164 - As Long as the Hoe Is Wielded Well, There’s No Escape for Plants and Flowers!

After Sun Mo knew that he had stayed for a year in the Black-White Game, he wanted to hurry up and complete the recruitment and return to the Central Province Academy. However, An Xinhui was worried about his body and wanted him to rest for three days first.

However, Sun Mo wasn’t idle during these three days because many great teachers had sent invitation cards over, wanting to pay him a visit.

Among them, the majority of them were the great teachers Sun Mo had saved from the Black-White Game. The remaining ones were those who had received requests from their friends and wanted their children to enter Sun Mo’s tutelage.

In the Nine Provinces, a person’s moral and integrity was the most important character aspect.

If these great teachers didn’t thank Sun Mo, they would be assumed that they were ingrates and their reputations would be damaged from now on. In that case, they wouldn’t be able to get a foothold no matter where they went.

These great teachers were all elites seeing that they were permitted to join the Black-White Game. Sun Mo really felt like recruiting them, but he was worried that others might say he was taking advantage of their perilous situation and could only give up on this notion.

Three days later, Sun Mo’s lectures started again.

From Headmaster Song’s point of view, let alone the 500-pax classroom that was long since filled to the brim, even the entire stairways in the building were packed with people.

Many of them weren’t here to listen to his lectures. They just wanted to meet this legendary character.

One must know that this Black-White Game, where one couldn’t wake up if they didn’t clear it, had been around for several thousand years. But no one had passed.

The place was the Black-White Academy, one of the supreme famous schools that was ranked among the Nine Greats. The talent of their teachers and students could be said to be at the peak level of the Nine Provinces, but they still couldn’t pass it.

And now, Sun Mo had cleared the game.

When they thought about the records Sun Mo created, other than feeling impressed, everyone basically couldn’t feel the tiniest bit of jealousy at all.

It was like when many people saw a millionaire that worked his way up from nothing, they would feel that they would be able to do it too and have the determination to try it out. But when they saw a billionaire that started from scratch, they would only feel impressed in their hearts.

Because this type of achievement was simply too dominant.

“Working hard is a very good characteristic. However, student, your direction is wrong. This is why you only improved a little bit despite working so hard!”

Sun Mo stared at the young male student before his eyes and displayed his Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands. “Why don’t you switch to another cultivation art?”

Three minutes later, a rumbling sound rang out as spirit qi gathered toward the male student and formed a vortex above his head. After that, it streamed into his body.

A breakthrough was completed!

…

When Headmaster Song saw the fourth student achieving a breakthrough due to Sun Mo’s massaging techniques, he could no longer remain calm.

(Isn’t that too magical?)

“Compared to facial surgery, what can this be counted for?”

If it wasn’t for Wan Kangcheng being too embarrassed, he also wanted to look for facial surgery. After all, who wouldn’t like good looks?

For people like Wan Kangcheng, they understood that the girls only fawned on them for the sake of money and authority. If they didn’t have any money or authority, the girls would naturally ignore old men like them.

But things were different if you had good looks. There was no need to become a sweet young thing, it was good as long as he could look like a handsome uncle as he would be able to ‘kill’ both young and old women.

“Quickly inform everyone of the upper echelons to head to the meeting room now!”

Headmaster Song made a decision.

…

After the class, Sun Mo was completely surrounded by students. Everyone wanted to know the details of the Black-White Games.

Sun Mo chose some information that could be shared and told everyone about it.

During this process, Sun Mo kept receiving notifications about favorable impression points.

Ding!

“Congratulations on clearing the Black-White Game. Reward: 2x Seven-Colored Diamond Treasure Chests!”

Ding!

“Congratulations on receiving favorable impression points from a Saint and the number exceeded 10,000 at one go. Reward: 1x Seven-Colored Diamond Treasure Chest!”

The system congratulated him twice and gave him the rewards.

“All students, please do not gather here. Please maintain silence or you will affect other teachers from teaching their classes.”

Sun Mo reminded them repeatedly.

Originally, he had wanted to use the classroom as a recruitment platform. However, the students here were simply too many. The entire building was affected.

Although the school leaders didn’t look for him, Sun Mo was very self-aware. He decided to set up a recruitment platform at the side of a lake on the campus.

This time around, quite a lot of graduate students came by to ask.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

…

“Teacher Song, please forgive me for carelessly disturbing you!”

Five days later, An Xinhui found Song Huigen. She expressed what she wanted clearly – to recruit him.

“Why isn’t Sun-laoshi here?”

Song Huigen’s tone was very respectful, but there was some disappointment on his face. (Could it be that I’m not qualified enough for Sun-laoshi to personally come?)

“Teacher Song, please don’t misunderstand. Sun Mo just didn’t want you to feel pressured to accept simply for the sake of you repaying his kindness. After all, you are a seedling of the Black-White Academy and have a chance to become the Black-White Academy’s headmaster in the future.”

An Xinhui explained.

For such a peak-level elite, the chance of successfully recruiting one wasn’t high, but they would definitely feel reluctant if they didn’t try.

“I’ll go!”

Song Huigen’s reply was clean and clear-cut.

When An Xinhui heard this, she didn’t show any joy. Instead, her expression grew solemn. “Teacher Song, I and Sun Mo both hope that you can join the Central Province Academy. However, what we want to see is someone who approves of the school’s philosophy, only choosing to join us because he or she has high regard for our future. We don’t want people to join simply to repay a debt of kindness.”

“Headmaster An, I do indeed want to repay the debt of kindness. But it’s not just that. I want to follow Sun-laoshi and learn from him even more.”

Song Huigen had investigated the method Sun Mo used to clear the levels. After he heard them, he was simply stunned.

Other than being overflowing with talent and having powerful strength, what made Song Huigen even more impressed was Sun Mo’s way of thinking and his impressive world vision.

For example, gathering a group of people to rebel, accumulating wealth in a modern city…

Sun Mo’s thinking process made Song Huigen feel that he was someone that had surpassed this era. When the high-star ranking great teachers of the Nine Provinces stood beside him, they were simply like aboriginals.

Sun Mo’s intellect shone resplendently.

Naturally, his character was very excellent too.

“Headmaster An, please permit me to do so!”

Song Huigen bowed. He was determined to seek employment at the Central Province Academy.

“The Central Province Academy welcomes you!”

An Xinhui’s expression was calm, but the little her in her heart was already so excited that she was dancing wildly.

For a genius like Song Huigen joining the school, as long as he didn’t die unexpectedly, he would at least be able to benefit the school for 300 years.

(Little Momo, you are too awesome, even someone like him is willing to address you as ‘laoshi’.)

After the official matters were discussed, there was naturally a need to chat about other things to improve the mutual relationship. And recently, the most popular topic in the Jing City, no, the entire Central Plains, was none other than the fact that the author of [Journey to the West] had written a new book named [A Dream of Red Mansions]!

This book was simply too good to read. One could say that it was every man’s dream.

Countless students were cursing Jia Baoyu for not knowing how to be a man at all. Not only could he not carry a family on his shoulders, but he couldn’t even help a dying maid.

(Qingwen loved you so much but you simply watched her die.)

Naturally, the scolding was scolding, but it didn’t obstruct everyone from privately having fantasies that they were the ones living in large residences and surrounded by various beauties who were of different temperaments. What a happy life that must be?!

“I wonder what’s the plot at the end?”

Song Huigen finished reading the book in the span of a single night. After that, the book kept appearing in his mind, and all he thought about was wanting to quickly read the later part.

Because Sun Mo participated in the Black-White Game, there were only 40 chapters of this book.

“I wonder what Gandalf’s real identity is. He always likes to keep people in suspense to whet their appetite. In fact, he didn’t even finish writing [Journey to the West]!”

When Song Huigen spoke about this, he had a look of resentment on his face. “What an inhumane fellow. If I see him, I’ll be sure to break his legs.”

(Yeah, you can’t be allowed to move around. It’s best that you stay in your bed so you can focus on writing.)

“As for the plot in the later part, you can discuss it with Sun Mo!”

An Xinhui covered her mouth and secretly smiled.

“Ah? Sun-laoshi has his own unique understanding?”

Song Huigen was curious now.

“He is Gandalf!”

An Xinhui divulged. After all, the original purpose behind why Sun Mo wrote this book was all for the sake of recruiting Bai Fu. Now that they could recruit one more, they had profited.

(Speaking of which, isn’t my fiance a little too impressive?)

Capable of using the thin gold body calligraphy, capable of painting famous paintings, and now, he was also the author of two extremely popular novels. His literary standards were truly impossibly high.

Thud!

Song Huigen stood up from the shock. “Ah? [A Dream of Red Mansions] was written by Sun-laoshi?”

“Mn!”

An Xinhui nodded.

“…”

Song Huigen couldn’t wait anymore and hurriedly rushed out. But after a few steps, he turned back and returned, taking his blade with him.

Pressing for updates without a blade in his hand? That would pose no threat at all!

…

“Senior, where are you going?”

On her way out, Bai Fu encountered Song Huigen who was rapidly walking in a direction. She jumped in fright. “Did something bad happen?”

“Oh, I’m going to urge for updates!”

Song Huigen knew that this junior school sister of his was fond of literature and arts. He smiled. “You should have read [A Dream of Red Mansions] before, right?”

“Mn!” Bai Fu nodded. “It’s a very excellent book!”

“Do you know who its author is?”

Song Huigen’s words caused a few students passing by to halt as they glanced over.

“Who is it?” Bai Fu’s eyes brightened as she immediately asked, “You know Gandalf’s true identity?”

“It’s Sun-laoshi!”

Song Huigen knew that given An Xinhui’s status, there was no way she would lie about such a matter.

“Sun-laoshi?”

Bai Fu’s mind spun. She was pondering who the hell was this person named ‘Sun-laoshi’.

From her point of view, this should be a great literary work that only an old man who had experienced many things and seen through the fickleness of the mortal world could have written.

“Sun Mo!”

“Who?!”

Bai Fu blinked her eyes and blurted. “Don’t lie to me. Sun Mo is so young, how can he write a book like this?”

“What do you mean by he can’t? Isn’t the life of the main character in the novel the dream of every man?”

Song Huigen’s understanding was actually opposite to her. “Only a brazen young man could write something like this. If it was an old man, the writing would surely feel awkward.”

Bai Fu’s expression turned unsightly.

“What’s with you?”

Song Huigen didn’t understand.

“I…I…”

Bai Fu revealed a bitter smile. She couldn’t possibly tell Song Huigen that the reason why Sun Mo wrote this book was because of a bet with her, right?

“You want to headhunt me to work in the Central Province Academy? Sure, I will go as long as you can create an immortal tale like this!”

“If I can write one, will you work like an ox and horse for me?”

“I can even be your chamber pot!”

This was the conversation between them then!

Now when Bai Fu recalled the words she had spoken, her entire face flushed like a boiled lobster and she felt so unbearable that she wanted to die.

(It’s over! What if Sun Mo really wants me to be his chamber pot?)

Pak!

Bai Fu slapped her own mouth.

(Why was my mouth so itchy then?!)

(But this can’t be blamed on him. Who could have thought that Sun Mo could really write a classic when he said he could do so?)

(The main point is that…)

(How did you manage to find the time to do so?)

After thinking carefully, this book was sold before Sun Mo entered the Black-White Game. Didn’t that mean that after their argument, Sun Mo immediately returned to write this book?

It was the type where everything was completed in a single stretch!

Even a literary giant couldn’t achieve anything better than this, right?

Bai Fu’s words contained a hint of ruefulness, praise, disappointment, and intense envy!

“Geniuses are simply so incredible!”

Song Huigen’s lips twitched. “Compared to Sun Mo’s other accomplishments. What can this book be count for?”

[A Dream of Red Mansions] was ultimately just a literary work. Whether one read it or not, it wouldn’t affect their lives. This book would at most be a topic for discussion after meals for the people. However, the Skyward Spirit Rune was an invention that had shaken the world.

After understanding Sun Mo’s achievements, Song Huigen decided. He would join the Central Province Academy because he wanted to stay by Sun Mo’s side to properly learn from him.

“Let’s go and look for Sun Mo. It would also be beneficial to us if we can interact more with such a character.”

Song Huigen urged.

“I…”

Bai Fu didn’t want to go as she was afraid of losing face. But she was also curious about the later part of [A Dream of Red Mansions]. For a time, she was so conflicted that she felt like dying.

“Let’s go. No matter what conflict the two of you have, Sun Mo isn’t a petty man. He will forgive you!”

Song Huigen consoled her.

(Of course, you will say that. After all, the one being a chamber pot isn’t you!)

Bai Fu mocked in her heart. However, she was still reluctant to let go of this chance. “Wait for me, I’m going to change my clothes!”

“There’s no need to be so serious, right?”

Song Huigen was speechless.

Bai Fu lowered her head and looked at the white dress she was wearing. She was also in cloth shoes. She then immediately ran to her dorm.

Sun Mo was correct. (I’m a woman that pursues a sense of superiority and looks down on the dreams of other great teachers who simply want to educate others. I even looked down on them for wanting to become saints so badly…)

(But isn’t this simply because I want to be ‘different’ from others?)

Bai Fu started to seriously ponder over Sun Mo’s words.

(He is so outstanding but he isn’t arrogant and is even working hard to become a saint. I’m merely born with Telepathic Understanding, is it even worthy for me to be so proud?)

…

Under a tall tree, Sun Mo sat there idly as he chatted with a few great teachers.

“Sun-laoshi!”

Song Huigen clasped his fists and bowed, executing the etiquette shown by a disciple.

“You can just call me Teacher Sun!”

Sun Mo didn’t dare to accept such an address. After conversing a few sentences with Song Huigen, his gaze landed on Bai Fu. What the hell was this woman trying to do?

Why was she not wearing her white dress and cloth shoes? In fact, she had now even tied her raven-black waist-long hair up and changed into the great teacher robes of the Black-White Academy.

(Could this be the result of a girl falling in love with the uniform-fetish?)

(Anyway, it truly does look very nice!)

Sun Mo contemplated how to start a conversation. However, Bai Fu gritted her teeth and suddenly knelt.

“Teacher Sun, previously, I spoke with no filter because my horizons were too narrow. If I have offended you then, please forgive me!”

She couldn’t not kneel. After all, the two of them had made a vow in the past. If Sun Mo was truly someone lacking in moral integrity and forced her to be his chamber pot, she would truly be unable to reject it.

She might as well kneel now and admit her mistake to gain some sympathy points.

Eh!

The people at the side were dumbfounded.

Bai Fu was always so high-up, lofty exuding the feeling of a goddess. The entire Black-White Academy knew about this. The number of men she rejected was enough to form a circle around Liaojing’s walls. But now, she was actually kneeling toward Sun Mo?

Swish~

The suspicious gazes of everyone landed on Sun Mo. (Could it be you have some information that can be used against the goddess of our Black-White Academy?)

(Damn, can you please share that with us too?!)
