Chapter 1299 Ah, Men!
Translator: Lordbluefire
“I’m An Zaiyi, the previous headmaster of the Central Province Academy. I sank into a coma due to failing to break through to the Saint Realm, but it was all thanks to Sun Mo’s Heaven and Earth Soul Returnal Pill that I awakened recently!”
The old headmaster gave an introduction.
Although everyone felt like discussing, they couldn’t open their mouths, which caused them to start. After that, they understood.
An Zaiyi was a saint. Even if he didn’t mind the discussion of others, before him, no one would dare to show any disrespect.
Because this was a saint’s might.
When a saint spoke, regardless of humans or birds or bugs, they would be restricted by an invisible energy and their mouths would be forcibly shut. “As the headmaster, An Xinhui failed badly. If it wasn’t for Sun Mo’s help, she would have led the school into decline!”
An Zaiyi’s words caused An Xinhui’s face to turn red. She felt so embarrassed that she didn’t know what to do. She could only stand and bow to everyone. “From today onward, Xinhui will quit being the headmaster and go back to teaching!”
After An Zaiyi finished speaking, he glanced at Sun Mo. “There’s no need to doubt Teacher Sun’s teaching capabilities. I believe he will be able to lead this school to its peak.”
The students had looks of joy on their faces and just when everyone thought An Zaiyi was going to pass the headmaster position to Sun Mo, An Zaiyi suddenly took a huge turn and gave a mission that surprised everyone. “However, Sun Mo’s talent is unrivaled. Right now, he is already an 8-stars great teacher. If he works a little harder, he might be able to become a Saint within 50 years!”
An Zaiyi continued, “So, from now onward. Sun Mo shall be released from all his vice headmaster’s responsibilities and he will fully focus on teaching, doing his best to reach the Saint Realm as soon as possible!”
Everyone exchanged mutual glances. (What does this count as? Slaughtering the donkey after it has done its job?)
If it wasn’t for Sun Mo, the Central Province Academy would have long since been delisted. How would things be like now where it was an ‘A-grade’ famous school?
However, some great teachers also felt that the old headmaster’s words made sense. What was the point of burdening oneself with leading a school?
Becoming a saint was the only correct path! “Sun Mo, my hopes for you are very great. You have to work doubly hard!”
An Zaiyi encouraged him. “Alright, this concludes this meeting!” “Grandpa!” An Xinhui hurriedly rushed over to An Zaiyi. “Why?” “You are bringing too much trouble for Sun Mo and have delayed much of his time!”
An Zaiyi lectured.
Sun Mo’s brows were so furrowed that they could squeeze a crab to death.
Honestly speaking, Sun Mo was unhappy that An Zaiyi didn’t discuss with him and directly removed all his responsibilities. But from An Zaiyi’s current expression, it seemed that he was thinking for Sun Mo’s sake? “Sun Mo, below saints, all are ants. What headmaster seat? What treasured position as the Saint Gate Sect Lord? All these are empty titles. Only by becoming a saint can you have the capital to protect your own life.”
An Zaiyi sincerely advised. “What the hell? Did Teacher Sun’s authority just get stolen?” “But this authority originally belongs to Old Headmaster An, right? He is just taking it back now!” “Without Sun Mo, there won’t be the current Central Province Academy. But then again, if we want to be part of the Nine Greats, we should have a saint as a headmaster.”
The great teachers discussed fervently.
They didn’t feel that Sun Mo had lost something because his fame was truly too great. Leaving aside other schools, at the very least, if Sun Mo went to the Black-White Academy or Jixia Academy, he would at least be able to become a vice headmaster. “When I’m not here, you guys should pay more attention to Headmaster An!”
Li Ziqi reminded Qin Yaoguang and Jiang Leng. After that, she turned to the sickly invalid. “Tantai, during these couple of months, it’s best that you don’t head out to practice medicine. Observe the current situation at school first.” “l understand.”
Tantai Yutang nodded with a heavy expression. n the Nine Provinces, the saints were the heavens. Their words were like golden imperial edicts that no one dared to defy.
Hence, Sun Mo was completely idle now.
Besides, Sun Mo didn’t need to handle office responsibilities and had much more time to give lectures. This actually caused the great teachers and students to be even happier.
Some people were worried that Sun Mo might lose his power, but very soon later, there were rumors saying that the old headmaster had chosen an auspicious date. He would be marrying his granddaughter off to Sun
Mo at the end of the year.
Hence, many people started to feel envious of Sun Mo’s life. “Sun Mo is merely 32 years old. Even if you use your toes to think, you would be able to imagine that he could simply wait until the old headmaster dies of old age. At that time, he would be the true owner of the Central rovince Academy.” “Look at your lowly thoughts. What does the headmaster of a famous school count for? Sun Mo’s goal should be the Saint Gate Sect Lord’s position!” “Yeah, a life winner is probably nothing more than this!”
The people of Jinling were all discussing Sun Mo’s future, what height would he be able to reach?
Three months passed.
Sun Mo’s days were very calm, dry, and a little boring. After giving lessons, he would meditate and cultivate. Upon returning home, because there were no computers to play games with, he could only continue to create a spirit rune computer.
Si laa~
Sun Mo tore the spirit rune diagram he had just drawn. “Why do I feel that my life is even more bitter compared to back when I was a teacher in the modern era?”
Sun Mo felt depressed. At the very least, in the modern era, he could still watch p*rn and have games to play. He didn’t even mind doing the most embarrassing thing – eating hotpot alone. (No way, I can’t continue like this. | want to have fun outside!)
Sun Mo changed to an attire that made him look like a warrior and planned to tour the Qinhuai River for the brothels.
It was said that the courtesans in the Qinhuai Brothels had been changed twice, yet he hadn’t even been there once before. What a heavenly waste! (No way, I have to eat an abalone* today!)
Sun Mo brought enough bank notes but just when he stepped out, he met Gu Xiuxun. “Where are you going?”
The masochist carried a vat of wine and stared suspiciously at Sun Mo. “Eh!”
Sun Mo felt a headache. It wasn’t easy for him to finally have the resolve to do something naughty. Yet, someone saw him now? “You are well-dressed. Could it be that you want to head to the brothels?”
Gu Xiuxun probed! “Don’t taint my reputation. Am I such a person?”
Sun Mo straightened his neck. “Ah, men!”
Gu Xiuxun’s lips twitched and she circled around Sun Mo twice. “What are you doing?”
Sun Mo felt a little nervous. “As your good friend, I know that you are not doing very well recently. I originally planned to accompany you and drink together to resolve your boredom and depression. But I don’t mind heading to brothels with you!”
Gu Xiuxun placed the vat of wine down and led the way. “Let’s go. Lady Shishi from the Apricot Tower is skilled in zither, chess, calligraphy, and music. She can even sing. I’ve long since wanted to go and take a look.”
Sun Mo was stunned. (What kind of plot twist is this? I’m going to have that sort of fun, how can I bring a female along?)
Half an hour later, the two of them stepped into Apricot Tower. “Do the two of you have the names of any ladies you are familiar with?”
Although Sun Mo and Gu Xiuxun were in disguise, anyone could still tell that the masochist was a woman. Hence, the mama-san here had no idea what they were doing here.
By asking the question, this was to show her professionalism. Given her judgment, she naturally could tell that these two were no ordinary customers. “We came to find Lady Shishi!”
Gu Xiuxun poked Sun Mo with her elbow. “What are you waiting for? Take the money out!” “Oh!”
Sun Mo grunted. Honestly speaking, he felt somewhat nervous. “Lady Shishi doesn’t accept guests…”
The mama-san had originally wanted to reject them. Since Sun Mo wasn’t a regular customer, he naturally wouldn’t be able to meet with their shop’s main attraction. But at the next instant, her eyes almost popped out.
Because the stack of banknotes Sun Mo had taken out was extremely, extremely thick. “Oh!”
Sun Mo frowned and glanced at Gu Xiuxun. “Should we head to another one?”
Actually, Sun Mo was already terrified because several ladies clad in skimpy clothes were looking at him from upstairs. This caused him to feel very uncomfortable. “Our Lady Shishi has just learned a new music piece. Young master, why don’t you listen to it?”
The mama-san laughed. “Since you already came, what do you mean by leaving?”
Gu Xiuxun grabbed the banknotes in Sun Mo’s hands and gave them to the mama-san. After that, she dragged Sun Mo forward. “Lead the way!”
Not long later, the two of them sat in Lady Shishi’s house.
As the main attraction, Shishi did have her own house.
Sun Mo cast a glance and immediately lost his interest.
For her face, he would grade it 8/10. Her demeanor was still passable, but Sun Mo had seen so many beautiful great teachers before, so this Lady Shishi naturally wasn’t able to attract him.
Speaking of figures, Jin Mujie would crush her. As for demeanor, An Xinhui would crush her. Speaking of the manner of speech, any female great teachers in his circle could also crush her…
After listening to the music piece, Sun Mo started to drink out of boredom.
With Gu Xiuxun being present, it was naturally impossible for him to do some over-the-top actions. “Ignore me, just act freely!”
Gu Xiuxun indicated for Sun Mo to not feel restrained.
Lady Shishi looked at the two of them, not sure about their relationship. (Did you come to drink or did you bring ‘extra food’ to eat? What is this plot?) (You can’t possibly want both of us to serve…) (No, that won’t do. I’m a famed courtesan!) (Unless you are willing to pay more!)
Gradually, Lady Shishi learned from their words that the two of them were great teachers with relatively high statuses. (My heavens, they are actually casually discussing a saint?) (No, I naturally have to ‘capture’ these valuable customers.)
Lady Shishi displayed her most perfect professional smile and interjected. “Say, I feel that even saints are inferior to Great Teacher Sun.” “Are you acquainted with Great Teacher Sun?”
Gu Xiuxun asked. “Nope. What identity does Great Teacher Sun have? How can people like me with such a lowly status be able to meet him casually?”
Lady Shishi bitterly smiled. “However, the two of you should be able to meet Great Teacher Sun quite often, right?” “Naturally, I’m a good friend of Sun Mo!”
Gu Xiuxun shrugged. “Ah?”
Lady Shishi’s eyes brightened and she immediately came over to pour wine for the masochist. “I heard that Great Teacher Sun is deeply in love with Great Teacher An and has never visited brothels before. Is this true?”
As a woman, she was naturally interested in gossip, let alone gossip about a major character like Sun Mo. “He is actually just too busy and doesn’t have time!”
Gu Xiuxun explained. “So this is the case. Doesn’t that mean that I still have a chance?”
Lady Shishi had a joyful expression on her face. “What chance?”
Gu Xiuxun was curious. “We have a small bet in our famed courtesan circle. Whoever beds Sun Mo will be the next queen of flowers. At the same time, everyone will pool money together to redeem her contract!”
Lady Shishi giggled.
Gu Xiuxun’s lips twitched. (Famed courtesan circle? Do you know how many young and beautiful female great teachers are waiting for Sun Mo? It wouldn’t be your turn even if you girls waited in line!)
Lady Shishi was also someone shrewd and astute, so she could clearly see Gu Xiuxun’s disdain. “I know our statuses are low, but we do have an advantage. Guys can just walk away freely after ‘eating’ us up but if they ‘eat’ a female great teacher, they probably have to bear the responsibility.”
Gu Xiuxun suddenly felt that this woman made a lot of sense. (Speaking of which, could this be the reason why Sun Mo doesn’t touch me?) [1] a slang for p*ssy due to the similarity in appearance..
