Chapter 825: Don’t Panic, I Still Have a Pair of Twos!
Sun Mo had always believed he was a man that didn’t have any vulgar tastes.
When walking on the road, would he turn his head if he saw a pretty girl passing him by?
There’s no such thing.
It wasn’t because his heart was abstemious. Rather, his taste buds had long since been saturated.
The older beauties beside him consisted of Mei Yazhi, a beautiful middle-aged woman exuding grace and wisdom. Her charm made it so no one dared to meet her eyes directly.
There was also Jin Mujie. Her bum looked as ripe as a honey peach, causing people to want to swallow it whole, not even leaving the core behind.
For beauties that were around the same age as him, he knew even more of them.
The female reporter Li Ruolan, his good friends Gu Xiuxun and Mei Ziyu, and his fiancee An Xinhui. Each of them was charming in their own rights and had their own positive points.
Those younger than him consisted of Li Ziqi who had a ‘princessy’ feeling, the pure and innocent Lu Zhiruo, the girl next door Ying Baiwu, and the quick-witted Qin Yaoguang. All of them were top-rated budding beauties among teens.
Right now, Sun Mo was rejoicing in the fact that his fiancee was relatively beautiful or he might really not be able to endure the temptation.
There was no solution. If a man could use his head (upper) to think, he wouldn’t be called a man.
But at this moment, Sun Mo encountered another beautiful great teacher that caused him to marvel in admiration.
Logically speaking, girls from the great wild plains should have open personalities. They liked romance and were like blooming fresh flowers or a galloping horse. However, the feeling this girl exuded was completely different. Her demeanor was like the bright moon.
Cold!
Aloof!
And lonesome!
Sun Mo couldn’t resist the urge and activated Divine Sight.
Murong Mingyue, 25 years old. Peak of the Divine Force Realm.
Strength: 37. I hate blood staining my fingertips.
Intellect: Peerless intellect, not in regard to crafty plots and machinations. Rather, she has a well-rounded talent in knowledge. As long as there’s something she wishes to learn, she will be able to gain great achievements in that subject.
Agility: Unknown. Unable to measure.
Endurance: To her, endurance isn’t an important attribute.
Will: 26
…
Potential value: Extremely high
Note: A supreme genius. If she doesn’t die young, she will surely leave her name behind in the history book of the great teacher world.
Important note: For the subjects she is proficient in, she’s already very close to the ancestor level.
“Damn.”
After seeing the data, Sun Mo was shocked and couldn’t help but curse.
She was the person with the ‘shiniest’ data he had ever seen among so many great teachers.
This was especially so for the second note. It was so glaring that it almost blinded his eyes.
One must know that Mei Yazhi’s alchemy skills were so impressive, but she was only at the level near to an ancestor. Yet, this 25-year-old beautiful great teacher was already at the same level as Mei Yazhi.
Sun Mo’s study of spirit runes could reach his current accomplishments due to his talent and time emblems. But it was impossible for this Murong Mingyue to have such a shortcut. So, only one answer remained.
Her intelligence far surpassed ordinary people.
“She is simply the Albert Einstein of the Nine Provinces!”
Even the system couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
“System, you are useless. Why is her agility and endurance unknown? Is there even a need to keep such stats hidden?”
Sun Mo didn’t understand.
This type of behavior was akin to a beautiful girl playing the zither and using it to cover half her face. (You should either not tell me anything about her stats at all, rather than giving me only half of her information. This is simply tormenting.)
“Her stats have some degree of uncertainty.”
The system explained, “Besides, you can’t depend completely on Divine Sight. You have to train your own sense of observation and judgment.”
“Alright, alright. You can go and rest. I will do my own research.”
Sun Mo impatiently waved his hands. After that, he looked at Murong Mingyue and his heart was filled with a desire to possess her.
How could he miss out on such an impressive great teacher?
He had to headhunt her successfully.
“What research? You are only lusting over her body. Filthy scum.”
The system spoke in disdain, “I can even see your drool seeping out from the corners of your mouth. Why are you not sucking your drool back?”
“A gentleman naturally wants to pursue a fair lady. Have you not heard of this saying before? This is human nature. It’s my reproductive genes controlling my body. How can you blame this on me?”
Sun Mo’s lips twitched. “Let’s take a step back. I’m not married yet and neither is she. Why can’t I just enjoy the view of her?”
“…”
The system was stunned. (You make things sound so logical to the point where I’m actually speechless.)
“Quickly go and rest!”
Sun Mo urged. He then continued observing Murong Mingyue. What perfect stats.
(I really want her.)
Ding!
“Please take note that this beautiful great teacher already has a fiance.”
The system notification suddenly rang out.
“F***!”
Sun Mo wanted to beat someone up. “System, you are intentionally trying to disgust me, right?”
Murong Mingyue was already used to guys looking at her. However, why did this intern teacher stare at her for so long?
Given Murong Mingyue’s aloof personality, if this was a place with few people, she wouldn’t display anything even if she felt uncomfortable in her heart. But this place was the library. By doing this, Sun Mo would surely cause the male students to learn the wrong things.
Hence, Murong Mingyue walked over and sat directly in front of Sun Mo.
(Eh? What the hell?)
Sun Mo suddenly felt joy in his heart.
This was like back in his modern world where students were divided into groups. You originally thought you had to wait for everyone to form groups before you could group with the leftovers, but you didn’t expect that the class teacher would group you with the girl you secretly admired.
This was simply an unexpected joy.
He was happy!
“Host, please be more reserved.”
The system was speechless. (You are really throwing the face of this great teacher system.)
Murong Mingyue lowered her head. She finished writing on a slip of paper and folded it meticulously before passing it to Sun Mo.
“It can’t be, right? Is she gonna confess to me despite us meeting for the first time? Could it be that she’s admiring my talent?”
Sun Mo guessed.
Because other than this, he wasn’t able to think of any other reason why a beautiful great teacher would take the initiative to pass him a slip of paper.
After all, he was in disguise and his looks were so normal that even if he ran naked on the streets, no one would care.
“Or does she want to use me as a middle-man to help her pass the paper to someone else?”
Sun Mo hurriedly looked to the left and right.
Very good, there were no handsome guys around here. So, that paper slip should be something she wanted to give him. However, he didn’t reach out to take it immediately.
Sun Mo smiled and looked at Murong Mingyue. He then stretched out a finger and pointed at the paper slip before pointing to himself.
Murong Mingyue nodded.
(Who says that all women only like handsome and rich guys? Evidently, there are some who love those with inner quality too. So, we men shouldn’t lose confidence in women just because some of them are superficial. As long as we put in the effort, we will be able to find true love too.)
Sun Mo silently mused and decided to open the slip of folded paper.
“This great teacher, please pay attention to your behavior and actions. You might teach the young people wrong things!”
Meow meow meow~
Sun Mo had a stunned look on his face. However, he wasn’t silly and instantly understood her meaning. After that, he blushed.
“F***!”
Sun Mo’s skin wasn’t thick, so he understood that his peeping earlier had been caught red-handed. After being confronted like this, his face immediately turned red.
(If this matter was to be known by Li Ziqi and the others, my illustrious name would surely be destroyed.)
He had to hurry up and explain.
“You are mistaken. I was observing your talent.”
Sun Mo passed the paper slip to her and heaved a sigh of relief. He wanted to praise his own wittiness.
Murong Mingyue looked at the paper slip and her beautiful brows furrowed slightly. She wrote more words and passed the paper slip back.
“You can even see such a thing like talent?”
Murong Mingyue didn’t expect this. It was one thing if this great teacher didn’t admit it, yet he was actually making excuses?
(Mn!)
(As a great teacher, I have the obligation to let him understand his mistakes.)
“Yup.”
Sun Mo knew that the other party was mocking him, but he pretended he wasn’t aware as he answered back in certainty.
When Murong Mingyue saw his reply, she wrote ‘ridiculous’. But after thinking about it, she felt it wasn’t suitable and she began to write on another paper slip.
“What did you see then?”
“I saw that in this place, you are an absolute genius with unrivaled talent. Your knowledge already is at the standard of a great ancestor*.”
Sun Mo spoke honestly, but he got ridiculed instead.
“I didn’t expect you to be someone with such a glib tongue.”
Murong Mingyue had seen too many guys like this who wanted to fawn on her.
“…”
Sun Mo felt a little wronged.
Truthfully, even Murong Mingyue herself didn’t know she had ancestor-level standards.
“In any case, please respect yourself. Before the students, please remember your identity as a great teacher and don’t do things like this that would bring shame to your title.”
After Murong Mingyue finished writing and pushed the paper slip toward Sun Mo, she stood up and prepared to live.
“Oh, no!”
Sun Mo felt a little flustered now. (I still want to headhunt her, but before I can act, she already loathes me. What should I do now?)
(I have to try and turn things around. If not, the Central Province Academy would miss out on a great ancestor. I’m the most proficient in the ancient massaging technique, but…)
Sun Mo glanced at Murong Mingyue. She was very healthy and basically didn’t need any massage at all.
(Wait a minute. I still have a pair of twos*.)
“Please wait. I really have no other intentions.”
Sun Mo’s mind spun, he changed his calligraphy style to ‘thin gold body’ and wrote a sentence.
As a teacher, Sun Mo’s writing was relatively nice to look at. This was especially so when he wanted to display his skill now. Because he had trained for over 20 years in his previous world, he could instinctively write using such a font.
Right now, he finally remembered that his calligraphy skill was also at the grandmaster level. He was skilled enough to actually sell his calligraphy for money.
Naturally, there were things like the running script in this world too. So no matter how beautiful Sun Mo’s writing was, it was impossible to gain Murong Mingyue’s admiration.
Her own writing wasn’t bad either.
So, he could only choose to use the ‘thin gold body’ font now.
Although his expertise was only at the expert level, he had a huge advantage as it was novel and unprecedented in this world.
Besides, this wasn’t everything yet. After Sun Mo finished writing, he even drew a small cartoon face that was the expression of helplessness and being wronged.
It was just that Murong Mingyue already had no interest in continuing to chat with Sun Mo via paper slips.
“Damn…”
Sun Mo’s pair of twos were completely useless.
(This can’t do! In my dictionary, the word ‘failure’ doesn’t exist.)
Although he knew it was very embarrassing if he chased after her, Sun Mo still braced himself and did it.
Murong Mingyue had her hands full of books so Sun Mo could only place his slip of paper on top of them.
“Give me a chance to explain!”
Sun Mo spoke in a low voice.
Because of this small action, Murong Mingyue’s impression of Sun Mo grew slightly better. After all, a teacher who was worried that a loud volume might affect the studies of students still had the chance to be ‘saved’.
“No need, if you are innocent, you are innocent. If I was the one who misunderstood you, I apologize. But I hope you will remember the words we spoke about today.”
Murong Mingyue smiled out of etiquette and turned to leave.
“…”
Sun Mo was so depressed that he wanted to cough up blood. But he no longer felt like chasing after her. If not, wouldn’t he appear like a simp?
(Isn’t she just a great ancestor*?)
(Hmph!)
(I, Sun Mo, don’t care about it!)
“In that case, why are your eyes staring at her butt?”
The system doubted.
“Go to hell!”
Just when Sun Mo wanted to launch a tirade, he heard the sound of someone sobbing in the library.
“Teacher, don’t you want me any longer?”
[1] The raws say that she has near ancestor-level expertise, but the author uses the term ‘great ancestor’ at the end. Not too sure which is the correct one, but when future chapters reveal it, I will come back and amend this chapter.
