Chapter 1100: The Extremely Popular Black Doggy Sun
Wan Kangcheng was already unhappy with Sun Mo. But after hearing his purpose of coming, he almost smashed the teacup in his hand into Sun Mo"s face.
(Do you still want face? Even if you shed the wool of a sheep before, you can"t possibly keep shedding it, right? I have not even looked for you to account for the debt of Secondary Saint s.h.i.+ and Tong Xugao!)
Wan Kangcheng didn"t feel like speaking anymore.
Sun Mo smiled and started to drink his tea. He also knew that things wouldn"t be so easy. (But it"s fine as you will yield.)
Xie Enhui could only step in to meditate after seeing that the atmosphere had become a little tense. She became the one replying to Sun Mo and asked all the questions she needed to ask, wanting to be completely clear of Sun Mo"s plan.
Half an hour later, Xie Enhui escorted Sun Mo and An Xinhui out.
"I will get a.s.sistant Yu to accompany you guys to tour the school. Also, during this period, when you are here in Liaojing, all the expenses for your lodging and meals will be covered by our school. Just enjoy yourselves!"
Xie Enhui patted Sun Mo on his shoulder. "I will get a.s.sistant Yu to follow you guys around. If you have anything you need, just feel free to instruct her."
"Many thanks, Teacher Xie!"
Sun Mo looked at Xie Enhui"s wrinkles and revealed a look of heartache. "Teacher Xie is working too hard. Your complexion is very haggard."
"Yeah!"
Xie Enhui sighed. There were no women who wouldn"t want to appear beautiful.
An Xinhui"s lips secretly twitched. (Indeed, good looks would cause people to be fond of you. If you were just an ordinary person, Xie Enhui naturally wouldn"t want to waste time with you. Do you really think a 7-stars great teacher is so idle?)
"My Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands is quite effective toward maintaining beauty. If you have the time, I can help you to do some facial treatment."
Sun Mo smiled very confidently. "I don"t dare to guarantee that I can make you look younger by 20 years, but I can definitely remove all the wrinkles on your face."
Xie Enhui"s brows twitched.
If it wasn"t for the fact she was used to seeing major scenes and had long since mastered the art of keeping control of her facial expressions, she would blurt and ask Sun Mo if this was real.
But this shouldn"t be fake.
The rumor was that Sun Mo"s G.o.d Hands could detect lies and even change someone"s appearance through facial surgery.
No one could prove the first rumor yet. But for the latter, Sun Mo had displayed it publicly in the Dragon Subduing Academy. It was said that the effect was magically shocking.
Also, that revived peach forest, as well as the "Kite-Chasing Girl" that was painted on a tree—both had become famous sceneries of the Dragon Subduing Academy.
"If you are worried, you can send someone you trust to try it out."
After Sun Mo finished speaking, he left.
"What a good child!"
Xie Enhui sighed ruefully. Sun Mo was handsome, tall, and had a way with words. No wonder he could headhunt Secondary Saint s.h.i.+ and Tong Xugao.
Xie Enhui didn"t understand Sun Mo, but she knew these two great teachers very well. Someone they both trusted wouldn"t be bad.
...
"Tell them to quickly scram!"
After Xie Enhui returned to the headmaster office, Wan Kangcheng started roaring. "I don"t even want to see that fellow for a moment."
As someone who could speak for the Black-White Academy, Wan Kangcheng naturally wanted face. He didn"t personally chase Sun Mo away or others might feel that his heart state was too bad.
"Headmaster, I"m afraid that this isn"t so simple."
Xie Enhui had received the gifts and had to help out. "By doing things like this, you will make people feel that our school fears Sun Mo"s prestige and that we are worried he would be able to headhunt a lot of our graduate students away."
"Who would be so brain-damaged to leave with Sun Mo?"
Wan Kangcheng mocked.
"Yeah, so we might as well let him have a public lecture. When no one attends, do you think he will be embarra.s.sed or not?" Xie Enhui smiled. "It can be considered that we have taken our revenge then."
Wan Kangcheng fell silent. (What if we try to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it?)
(Wait a minute! I"m actually worried Sun Mo might succeed? d.a.m.n! I have to have confidence in the signboard of our school! But why do I feel uneasy?)
"Headmaster, I"m going to say something you don"t like to hear. Given Sun Mo"s spirit rune knowledge, it"s enough for him to give a few public lectures in our school. I feel we must not waste this opportunity."
Just like the saying, only when a hundred flowers bloom would it be spring, Xie Enhui was also thinking on behalf of the school.
"This…"
Wan Kangsheng felt some hesitation.
How did Tong Xugao leave?
Because he wished to receive more of Sun Mo"s guidance.
If he really let Sun Mo lecture, what if all the spirit runists of the Black-White Academy decided to quit and join him?
"Let me consider it more!"
Although Wan Kangcheng didn"t verbally admit it, all his decisions were hinged on the fact that Sun Mo was a formidable enemy.
But before Wan Kangcheng could think things through, several great teachers went to look for him after they had learned that Sun Mo was here.
"Let us Sun Mo give a few public lectures so we can gauge how capable he is!"
"The chance is rare, we have to headhunt him. At the very least, we have to get him to share some of his knowledge no matter what."
"Let"s get him to give a few lectures on the topic of medical cultivation!"
The great teachers had different requests, and most of them that were knocking on the headmaster office were spirit runists.
This was normal as this subject was the most popular among Sun Mo"s lectures.
...
"Headmaster Zhang, find a chance to get Sun Mo to paint a famous painting. The Dragon Subduing Academy has the [Kite-Chasing Girl], so we should have one as well."
A famous artist went straight to Wan Kangcheng"s house and knocked on his door in the middle of the night.
"Are you crazy?!"
Wan Kangcheng angrily grumbled.
Although zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting weren"t essential, they were still considered things that could build character. Hence, the various schools of the Nine Greats would teach these subjects. Moreover, they would also employ highly-skilled painters and musicians.
So many requests had been tossed at Wan Kangcheng to the point where he had a headache. He decided to have a great meeting to resolve this. But on the second morning, he was dragged to the meeting room by someone.
This room that had a 100-pax capacity was currently fully filled.
All of the people here were major characters, and it was very rare to see them usually. But all of them appeared here now.
"Hurry up, we are all waiting for you," an old man urged.
"Is it necessary for the sake of a single Sun Mo?"
Wan Kangcheng"s lips twitched. The other party was an 8-stars great teacher. He had to hold it in even though he was unhappy.
"He is the number one spirit runist in the Nine Provinces and is naturally worthy of this!"
Someone answered.
"He"s also the G.o.d Hands!"
"Don"t forget that he is a four-time champion that has broken the record. Right, this fellow also has the Ancient Sage Halo. I heard that 1,000 ancient sages had gathered and wanted him to give a lecture back then."
The major characters immediately started chatting.
The attraction of Ancient Sage Halo was exceedingly great because those sages would be talking about ancient knowledge. Maybe the knowledge might not be useful now, but their way of thinking and experiences were worthy to be learned from.
"Do you know why Sun Mo came here?"
Wan Kangcheng angrily replied, "He is here to recruit our graduate students!"
After saying this, half of the people here closed their mouths and frowned.
Wasn"t this Sun Mo a little too arrogant?
(Are you sure you can headhunt people from our Black-White Academy?)
"But wouldn"t it be a waste if we just let Sun Mo leave like that?"
Many spirit runists felt regret.
"Let"s get him to recruit Bai Fu and Song Huigen!"
After the bald old man finished speaking, the meeting room was immediately filled with laughter.
"Teacher Zhou, you are too bad!"
Xie Enhui shook her head.
Bai Fu was the granddaughter of the previous headmaster and was born with a retentive memory. She even possessed the great teacher halo "Telepathic Understanding". No matter what she learned, she would understand it immediately.
And the second one was the most outstanding graduate of the Black-White Academy"s history.
If Sun Mo wanted to poach these two away, that would really be an impossible fantasy.
"In any case, we have shown our sincerity. Whether Sun Mo can headhunt them or not, it will depend on his own capabilities!"
The baldy Great Teacher Zhou stared at everyone. "Since Sun Mo is here, we should dig all his knowledge out and squeeze him dry!"
"Indeed!"
All the major characters nodded.
"Old Wan. Leaving aside the fact that Sun Mo is only headhunting students, even if great teachers wanted to leave, that would be their freedom. As one of the Nine Greats, we should have the bearing of a peak-level famous school!"
Great Teacher Zhou persuaded.
"I"m afraid that you guys would regret it at that time!"
After all, Wan Kangcheng was just a vice headmaster that was selected to deal with trivial things because Headmaster Song was in seclusion. His authority wasn"t enough to supersede these major characters.
"The opportunity is rare. We should just make full use of Sun Mo. There"s no need to feel heartache."
Although this was true, Sun Mo was a guest after all and his status wasn"t low. It was impossible to slot him in for lectures every day.
Hence, in order to vie for Sun Mo"s time, all the major characters started to argue again.
"There should be more lectures about spirit runes. Right now, if Sun Mo said that he is the number two in the field of spirit runes, who would dare say that they are number one?
"His art of spiritual control is also at the grandmaster level."
"It is the same for botany and herbology!"
The leaders of the various subjects started arguing.
"Forget botany, it"s not important!"
"What do you mean? Do you want to fight?"
The major characters who were alchemists and weaponsmiths drank their tea as they watched the show. They felt the most relaxed.
After seeing these people quarreling, they suddenly felt very fortunate that Sun Mo didn"t know their subjects. If not, their face would be lost as well.
The number one spirit runist in the Nine Provinces was just 23 years old?
This achievement was too frightening.
"Give us artists a chance as well!"
A shout rang out from the entrance. Sadly, no one cared.
Famous artists had no status before so many high star-ranking great teachers.
…
They spent an entire day before they finished discussing how to split the cake. After that, on the next day, Xie Enhui personally came to find Sun Mo.
"Is this a place suitable for a human to stay? Change it quickly. The guest hotel of our Black-White Academy is top-rated. There"s also a natural spring there, and it"s very beneficial for one"s body if they soak in it!"
Xie Enhui ruthlessly cast a glance at a.s.sistant Yu.
(How did you do your job?)
a.s.sistant Yu felt very wronged. (You didn"t instruct me to do so?)
The guest hotel of the Black-White Academy was also categorized into different tiers. Those with springs attached to the rooms were the best and they were also located within the campus. This was to save time for the major characters, allowing them to be able to give more lectures.
Therefore, a.s.sistant Yu didn"t expect Sun Mo to be able to receive such preferential treatment.
"It"s too troublesome. This place is pretty good."
Sun Mo modestly declined.
"It"s not a trouble. Why are you guys still in a daze? Quickly find a few movers!"
Xie Enhui urged. After that, she pa.s.sed a paper to Sun Mo and smiled. "There"s no problem if you want to recruit students, but since you are such an impressive great teacher, the teachers and students of our school wish to broaden their horizons. I wonder if you are willing to give a few public lectures?"
"That would be my honor!"
This was then the main crux.
"This is the cla.s.s schedule!"
Xie Enhui pa.s.sed out two schedules and gulped down a mouthful of saliva, feeling somewhat embarra.s.sed.
"Mn?"
Sun Mo started.
"Six lessons per day? Why are there so many cla.s.ses?"
An Xinhui frowned and almost blurted this out. (Are you guys treating Sun Mo as an old ox and forcing him to work the fields for you?)
