Chapter 469: Longing to Get One Person’s Heart, Till Death Do Us Part!
The one who proposed was the Myriad Daos Academy’s Fang Wuji. His voice was very loud, with a strong impact. Therefore, all the gazes in the auditorium were attracted.
Fang Wuji’s teacher attire was washed very clean and there wasn’t any hint of crease on it. He had also put in some effort to tidy up his hair, tying it up into a bun.
From just his back view, he looked like a very charismatic guy. After all, he had his capabilities and figure. However, his looks couldn’t make a cut.
He was alright from nose up, but his lower chin was too wide, spoiling the sense of beauty. He wasn’t exactly ugly, but he definitely didn’t look coordinated.
Fang Wuji had wanted to propose long ago. However, this was a big event in one’s lifetime, thus he decided to choose an important place.
Right now, after getting the great teacher title together with Zhang Li, he felt that this was his most blissful time that was the most worthy to think back on. It was also the most suitable for a proposal.
“Fang Wuji, what are you doing?”
Zhang Li was angry and took a step back.
“It’s fine. There’s no need to be anxious. It’ll be fine as long as we’re happy!”
Fang Wuji smiled as he looked at Zhang Li. He felt that it could be that Zhang Li couldn’t put down her face and thus tried to persuade her gently.
“Xiuxun!”
Sun Mo quickly walked over to the masochist and asked softly, “What’s going on?”
Sun Mo could tell that something was off. After all, when he was in university, he had seen too many guys like this who brought roses to the female dorm to propose. However, things ended up in a pathetic plight with them being ignored for a night.
They curried up to the girl all the way but ended up with nothing in the end!
“Sigh, I knew that Fang Wuji is going to be fooled by this woman!”
Gu Xiuxun sighed.
Fang Wuji had entered the Myriad Daos Academy the moment he graduated, and it had been three years since then. Although he hadn’t taught Gu Xiuxun before, he could be considered one of her teachers.
“What’s going on?”
Sun Mo felt curious.
“Zhang Li was my senior with mediocre grades, and it should have been impossible for her to stay in the school to teach. After all, the Myriad Daos Academy is a ‘C’ grade famous school. However, she managed to do so, and it’s said that it could be because of Fang Wuji!”
Gu Xiuxun lowered her voice.
“I understand!”
Sun Mo nodded. Even in modern society, there was often news of some girls selling their bodies in order to take up graduate studies or to stay in their schools.
Zhang Li had clearly agreed to be Fang Wuji’s girlfriend.
Who was Fang Wuji?
He was one of the twin jade annulus of Jinling, sharing the title with Liu Mubai. For a genius with immeasurable prospects like him, he wouldn’t need to raise any requests and the school would take the initiative to take care of things for him.
If his girlfriend was to leave, Fang Wuji would follow her. Therefore, Cao Xian could only let Zhang Li stay in the school.
“The reason Fang Wuji has waited until now to take part in the examination isn’t because he wants to compete against Liu Mubai. He was just waiting for Zhang Li!”
Gu Xiuxun exposed, “For the past three years, Fang Wuji would give Zhang Li guidance whenever he had free time. However, Zhang Li is a schemer. She had been through a few boyfriends before Fang Wuji!”
“What a b*tch!”
Sun Mo’s mouth twitched.
“Zhang Li comes from a family of farmers, but she’s never lacking in alchemical pills for cultivation. Moreover, her cultivation art was also given to her by a boyfriend.”
Gu Xiuxun sighed. Zhang Li’s reputation was notorious amongst the senior grades, and she relied on men to climb up. Once there was a better man, she’d kicked away her current boyfriend.
Of course, Zhang Li was very beautiful. Before Gu Xiuxun’s beauty developed, Zhang Li was the top beauty in the Myriad Daos Academy. She had plenty of suitors.
“Doesn’t Fang Wuji know that?”
Sun Mo was surprised.
“Sigh, Fang Wuji is an honest guy who only knows about cultivating and burying his head into his studies. His life revolves around his home, school, and canteen, and he never spends any energy on these rumors!”
Gu Xiuxun felt very helpless as well.
“What about Headmaster Cao? He must have tried to persuade him before, right?”
Sun Mo felt like crying when he heard this story. How long had Fang Wuji been made a cuckold?
“Of course, he had done that. However, Fang Wuji flew into rage and dueled against a great teacher because of it!”
Gu Xiuxun felt emotional. “The intelligence of a person who has fallen in love is worse off than a dog!”
The atmosphere in the surroundings had turned awkward. No matter how honest a guy Fang Wuji was, seeing Zhang Li refusing him repeatedly, he realized how serious the problem was.
However, he wasn’t enraged. Instead, he looked stunned and hurt. “Why?”
“Li`er, what’s going on?”
A young man walked over and embraced Zhang Li.
Zhang Li put up a struggle but didn’t break free. She could only allow the young man to hold her.
“Who are you?” Fang Wuji bellowed furiously, “Let go of her!”
“I’m her man!”
The young man chuckled. His gaze when looking at Fang Wuji was filled with a sense of superiority. (So what if you’ve gotten into the top ten? Didn’t you still end up being made a cuckold?)
“Zhang Li, is this true?”
Fang Wuji looked toward Zhang Li, his face in disbelief.
“Fang Wuji, I never had any relationship with you. I don’t need to answer any of your questions!”
After Zhang Li said that, she looked at the young man worriedly, explaining in a soft voice, “Nothing has happened between us at all! He was the one who has been wooing me all along!”
“I know!”
The young man purposely put his face near Zhang Li’s ears, rubbing against her affectionately and saying, “I believe you!”
The spectators immediately felt displeased. This young man was clearly humiliating Fang Wuji on purpose. (It’s one thing to have snatched his girlfriend, but do you have to do this?)
Zhang Li struggled, but it was a very light one. She clearly didn’t dare to offend this young man.
“Alright, quickly end this farce. After the award ceremony, let’s go have a good time at a few famous places in Guangling!”
After the young man said that, he patted Zhang Li’s butt and left. His action and expression looked extremely frivolous. It was clear that he had often patronized brothels.
“Why?”
Fang Wuji asked.
“Brother Wuji, if you want what’s good for me, then give me freedom.”
Zhang Li wore a miserable expression. Having been together for three years, she knew well of Fang Wuji’s weakness. As long as she showed him her weak side, he’d definitely give up.
“Is it because I look ugly?”
Fang Wuji was heartbroken.
Zhang Li was silent. She didn’t just despise Fang Wuji for being ugly, but also that he didn’t have any prospects. The young man from earlier was the grandson of a vice-headmaster in the Warm Spring Blooming Flowers Academy. If she were to be with him, she’d be able to get into a ‘B’ grade school to teach. It was something that she wouldn’t be able to do even if she worked hard for her entire life.
Gu Xiuxun couldn’t take it anymore and dashed out. “Zhang Li, that young man from earlier is clearly someone frivolous. He is just playing with you and won’t marry you.”
“Xiuxun, I’m not as talented as you are, being able to get what you want with your own capabilities. If I wish to live a life superior to others, I can only take alternate routes!”
Zhang Li knew that what Gu Xiuxun said was the truth, but so what? (It’ll be fine as long as I get into the Springflower Academy and reach my objective. Marry that guy? Please, I know myself well. I know that I’m not worth that much!)
Gu Xiuxun was rendered speechless.
“Brother Wuji, although you’re ugly, you’re very gentle. I’ve been very happy in the three years I was with you!”
Zhang Li said this in a soft voice and turned to leave, heading toward the end of the queue.
What she said was the truth. Fang Wuji had given Zhang Li gentleness. However, it was a pity that he couldn’t give her a better life.
Fang Wuji reached out his hand, wanting to grab Zhang Li. However, he didn’t know what he should say. He squatted down, grabbed his head, and then cried.
“Teacher Fang, get up first!”
Gu Xiuxun changed her term of address, wanting to stimulate Fang Wuji’s pride, letting him understand that he was still in front of students.
Sun Mo saw the masochist in a different light. This was a gentle girl. She was now on equal grounds with Fang Wuji and didn’t need to address him as ‘teacher’.
Fang Wuji didn’t move.
“Have you cried enough?”
Sun Mo walked over and pulled Fang Wuji up.
“You have your prosperous life, she has her blooming life. From now on, you are you and she will be just her. You won’t see each other and won’t owe each other anything. Isn’t it good to congratulate her, hoping the best for each other?”
Sun Mo looked at Fang Wuji, fearing that he’d be dealt such a big blow that he couldn’t recover.
Gu Xiuxun immediately looked toward Sun Mo.
“What’s wrong?”
Sun Mo felt a little uneasy from the glance.
“Excellent. Priceless Advice has not erupted!”
Gu Xiuxun was really scared of how Sun Mo would use Priceless Advice over the smallest thing.
Sun Mo rolled his eyes and continued persuading, “To some people, love might not be in the form of sticking to one person until the very end. It can be an experience, a part of their life, with one person being the passerby to the other person’s life. If they passed, they passed. Don’t turn back and don’t think back. Leave each other to the past!”
The surrounding great teachers were mostly young men and women in their twenties. When they heard Sun Mo’s words, their eyes lit up, revealing an expression of being in deep thought.
Some of them had a taste of love before but had been hurt by the roses’ thorns and hadn’t been able to let go until now. After hearing Sun Mo’s words, they wore an expression of acceptance.
“That’s right, it’s time to put things down!”
Many people broke into a smile.
“Then what is love to you?”
Fang Wuji looked at Sun Mo with a solemn gaze.
Sun Mo gave it some thought before saying, “Longing to get a person’s heart, till death do us part!”
Sun Mo also had a yearning for a perfect love deep down inside, to love one person and watch over them, hoping to spend a lifetime with them and growing old together!
Swoosh!
Priceless Advice had erupted.
Brilliant golden light spots radiated out, scattering toward the surroundings.
The young men and women who were encompassed by the light spots instantly felt complicated emotions. Who in this world didn’t wish to have a soulmate?
Understand them! Know them! Love them!
“These words are really well-said!”
“Teacher Sun has such a philosophical disposition!”
“What should I do? I seemed to have fallen in love with him!”
The ladies looked at Sun Mo with an infatuated gaze. A guy like this with the looks, gentleness, and talent was really a dream lover for them.
It wasn’t long before they turned to feel jealous. It was because Sun Mo’s gaze was on Gu Xiuxun.
“Sigh, I wonder when I’d be able to meet the destined lady of my life!”
Sun Mo thought about it and then subconsciously looked toward Gu Xiuxun.
“Hmm? Why are you looking at me?”
Gu Xiuxun was digesting Sun Mo’s words as well when she saw him suddenly looking in her direction. She was stunned and felt anxious. (Could it be that he has feelings for me?)
Suddenly, the masochist’s cheeks flushed up, looking even more beautiful.
“Marry him.”
“Marry him.”
“Marry him!”
Some meddlesome youngsters saw this scene and started calling out.
The great teachers, with Jiang Wei in the lead, had just entered the auditorium when they saw this scene. The golden light spots landed on their bodies as well.
“I didn’t expect that this guy is an affectionate person as well?”
Wu Peiling teased. However, the feeling that Priceless Advice gave her was like a light drunken state after drinking great wine. It wasn’t bad.
