Chapter 897: Detective Sun Mo
“What?”
Helian Xue’s countenance changed drastically. He had seen Sun Mo’s battle prowess and knew that Sun Mo was very strong. He had no idea how he had offended Sun Mo, so he rapidly backed off while thinking about this, going all out to block the attack.
Pitting attacks against attacks?
He didn’t dare to think of this at all.
However, the fist brushed past him, hammering into the shoulder of Tuoba Cao who was next to him,
Bang!
Tuoba Cao stumbled back, his shoulder bone shattering with a crack.
“Teacher Sun, what are you doing?”
Tuoba Cao was shocked.
Clank!
Sun Mo drew out Evil Vanquisher, struck out Eighteen Words Order, and went all out in attacking.
“What’s going on?”
“Is there something wrong with this teacher?”
“Should we help?”
The students discussed amongst themselves, not knowing what they should do. Why did they suddenly start fighting?
Although Sun Mo and Tuoba Cao were both intern teachers, their popularity was different. Everyone was more inclined toward Sun Mo.
“Teacher Sun, what is the reason for this?”
Duanmu Li asked.
After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Ji took a quick step forward and joined the battle. He had absolute trust in Sun Mo’s wisdom and character. Therefore, there must be a problem with Tuoba Cao for Sun Mo to be attacking him.
Tuoba Cao was unable to win against Sun Mo alone, and with Jiang Ji coming in, he knew he had zero chance of survival. Hence, he dashed toward a warhorse, wanting to escape, but Sun Mo slashed off his left leg together with the horse.
“Ahh!”
Tuoba Cao let out a loud cry, grabbing onto his broken leg and glaring at Sun Mo with vengeance.
“When did you join the Dark Dawn?”
Sun Mo asked, “Is the reason you guys suddenly assaulted the Dragon Subduing Academy only because of the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture, or do you have other objectives?
“Other than the Four Symbols Starlord, are there any other Starlords joining in this operation?”
Sssss!
Hearing Sun Mo’s words, everyone gasped. The girls even grabbed onto their weapons tightly, staring at Tuoba Cao.
“What’s your basis on saying that I’m a spy?”
Tuoba Cao bellowed, “If I’m misunderstood, what’s going to happen to my leg? Are you going to join it back for me?”
“Yes, I’ll join it back for you!”
Sun Mo nodded.
“Uhh!”
Everyone turned their heads and threw a glance at Sun Mo, thinking. (The food you had last night must have been good. You’ve drunk quite a lot, right? You even dare to boast of being able to join back a broken leg? Do you take others for a fool?)
“F*ck your mom!”
Tuoba Cao bellowed. This Sun Mo was really brutal. His leg had broken, so even if he were to survive, his life would be over.
“Teacher Sun, how did you discover that there’s a problem with him?”
Duanmu Li was curious.
“Helian Xue, the reason you and Tuoba Cao went to save Wanyan Mei when you saw the black-clothed men invading is because you guys wanted to do her a favor, right?”
Sun Mo turned his head.
“I understand it now.”
Jiang Ji was struck by a realization. “If it was to save the princess, the merit would have been achieved if one were to escape with her as soon as possible. However, just now, Tuoba Cao was saying that the warhorses were too tired and should get more rest. Wasn’t this an attempt to drag the time and wait for the star general to catch up?
“Tuoba Cao also answered enthusiastically when Princess Wanyan suggested going back to save the others. This isn’t consistent with his behavior of saving others because that’d subject the princess and himself in danger, making all his prior efforts go to waste.”
Helian Xue’s countenance was awkward because this was what he had been thinking. However, as a great teacher, he couldn’t possibly say that the lives of the other students weren’t worth anything, right?
Anyway, Sun Mo had acted as the bad guy, stopping Wanyan Mei.
“Can’t I show concern for the other students?”
Tuoba Cao retorted.
“Of course, you can!”
Sun Mo shrugged. “Therefore, it’s just a suspicion. I didn’t expose you right away but continued to quietly gather evidence.”
“Where’s the evidence?”
Tuoba Cao bellowed fiercely, “I also went all out to fight and protect the princess when that star general attacked. Your Highness, Teacher Duanmu, the two of you must do me justice!”
“Don’t be in a hurry to justify yourself. Listen to what I have to say. After you said that few more lines, I’ve been observing you. For example, when the others saw that the Four Symbols Starlord had come, everyone was extremely scared. However, you weren’t.”
“I’ve been brave since I was young. Is there a problem with that?”
Tuoba Cao’s voice was very loud, but everyone’s gazes had turned into disbelief.
The Four Symbols Starlord was a secondary saint. Anyone who faced such a magnate from the Dark Dawn would feel terrified from the depths of their bones. It wasn’t something that one could fight against just because they were brave.
“Then why were you surprised and disappointed when I exposed him, and after he was killed, you didn’t seem elated at all? Do you know how much your expressions stand out from the others?”
Sun Mo teased, “You’re really a failure as an undercover agent. If I’m not mistaken, your mission is just to lay low in the school and gather information. This should be the test for you to join the Dark Dawn. You are neither nurtured by the Dark Dawn nor are you an old member.”
“I didn’t expect that a dorm mate who had been living with me for half a year turns out to be a dark great teacher.”
Helian Xue was surprised and then felt some lingering fear.
Everyone had their judgmental skill, and Sun Mo’s evidence was already so obvious. Even if Tuoba Cao were to insist on his view, it was useless.
“Haha!”
Tuoba Cao suddenly laughed out loud. He then looked at Sun Mo, admitting to it with a proud expression. “That’s right! I’m a dark great teacher working under the Four Symbols Starlord!”
Everyone fell silent.
“What crime did you commit in the past?”
Jiang Ji asked.
Usually, dark great teachers were people who couldn’t continue surviving in the great teacher world and thus had no choice but to join the Dark Dawn.
“What crime? Don’t think of others so badly. The reason I joined the Dark Dawn is because I admire their ideology.”
Tuoba Cao stared at Sun Mo and then spoke in an indignant tone, “Why is it that all the top-notch cultivation arts in the world have to be monopolized by influential clans and famous schools?
“I’m a genius. If I had a chance to learn a saint-tier cultivation art, I’d definitely be able to rise to the top ten of the Great Teachers Hero Rankings, spreading my reputation across the world. But I don’t have the right to do that because I was born in a lower class and am a child born to a farmer’s wife.
“No matter how outstanding I am, I don’t have any chance of getting any saint-tier cultivation arts. Sun Mo, a lucky person like you will definitely not understand my pain.”
All the students didn’t feel much about this, but the great teachers’ countenances weren’t good. It was because this was an indisputable truth. The top-notch great teachers, famous schools, and various major powers kept on monopolizing the top-notch cultivation arts.
In Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, cultivation arts were battle prowess, and battle prowess was the most effective means of maintaining the authority, wealth, and statuses of those who were at the very top.
Sun Mo’s lips twitched. He understood Tuoba Cong’s thoughts. Tuoba Cong couldn’t see a way of rising in the great teacher world and thus turned to join the Dark Dawn.
Sigh!
In one’s lifetime, who wouldn’t want to live better?
Sun Mo sighed. In the modern world, even if he were to do his best, he’d probably only be able to reach the level of a year’s head. If he wished to earn more money, he’d have to make use of his free time to work as a private tutor.
“Which of you want to come and take care of this?”
Sun Mo didn’t wish to participate in this anymore.
“Let me do it!”
Helian Xue didn’t stand on ceremony. The Dark Dawn and Saint Gate were archenemies, and thus the Saint Gate had always put up rewards. As long as one could catch a dark great teacher, regardless if they were dead or alive, they’d be able to get quite a big reward.
“Sure.”
After saying that, Sun Mo urged everyone to get on their horses. “Everyone, hurry up!”
“Teacher Sun, hold on!”
Wanyan Mei called out and dashed up in front of Sun Mo.
