After exchanging conventional greetings for a while more, Wang Su left with a satisfied smile.
He was a 4-star great teacher and would usually be very busy. If it wasn’t because he knew An Xinhui’s management ability was not up to mark and he was worried that the Central Province Academy might decline under her leadership and become delisted, losing the qualifications to be a school, he would never have wanted to vie over the management authority.
“Right now, I should be able to focus on the things I want to do.”
Wang Su felt that with Sun Mo’s support, An Xinhui probably wouldn’t screw things up for the school. Besides, the school had now ascended to the ‘C’ grade. Even if the two of them didn’t do things well, they still had a year as a buffer.
“I don’t hope for us to ascend to the ‘B’ grade next year. But at the very least, we cannot fall back into the ‘D’ grade.”
Wang Su prayed. (Also, will the old headmaster still be able to wake up?)
…
“Teacher, I will return to the dorm first.”
Lu Zhiruo was very sensible, not wishing to disturb An Xinhui and Sun Mo’s interactions.
“Just sleep at the villa tonight!”
Sun Mo suggested. His prestige connections with quite a few people had been upgraded. Later on, he would ask the system for the rewards.
Without his lucky mascot, how should he open the treasure chests?
“Right!”
The papaya girl had never disobeyed Sun Mo.
“…”
Seeing Lu Zhiruo prancing around happily and her papaya-like chest bouncing up and down, An Xinhui suddenly felt very speechless.
(Although I know you guys are innocent, the conversation between you two could easily cause others to misunderstand!)
“I wish to build the darkness illusion dojo as quickly as possible.”
Sun Mo went straight to the point.
“Can we do so? That’s your battle spoil!”
An Xinhui sighed, she didn’t wish to speak about business, but it was clear that Sun Mo had no intention to speak about personal matters with her.
“I’m all alone in this world. If I don’t build it in the Central Province Academy, where should I build it?”
Sun Mo’s lips twitched.
He was rich and could go buy a plot of land to build the darkness illusion dojo there. But what would be the use of this? The greatest use of the darkness illusion dojo was to improve the strength of the students. Hence, the school was the best location.
After hearing Sun Mo’s words, An Xinhui hurriedly interjected, “In this world, you still have me!”
After speaking, An Xinhui blushed. Would her words be considered a confession?
She felt that it was too blatant!
An Xinhui was conflicted, but Sun Mo completely didn’t notice it. He only wanted to hurry up and construct the darkness illusion dojo and used it to nurture the students.
For the 2-star great teacher qualification exam, having a student on the Greencloud Ranking was necessary.
Sun Mo planned to make Xuanyuan Po the main fighter and Ying Baiwu the reserve. Actually, given Jiang Leng’s cultivation base, he was also strong enough to participate in the Greencloud Ranking Battle. However, Sun Mo was very worried about his body and didn’t want him to fight.
“I’ve done my research. The darkness illusion dojo will need about two-thirds of the battle hall. Do you have a suitable place in the school?”
Sun Mo asked.
Upon seeing Sun Mo’s attitude, An Xinhui felt some disappointment. But after that, she stirred herself mentally and entered her working state.
“How about building it next to the training dojo? The space there is large enough and there are more people as well. They would be able to see the darkness illusion dojo every day and this would be able to motivate them.”
For such an excellent building, it was for sure that not everyone would be able to use it. One had to achieve good results before they could be qualified.
“My thoughts exactly. In that case, can you please quickly plan and map out an area for me where others are forbidden to enter temporarily? The construction of the darkness illusion dojo has to be kept a secret.”
Sun Mo suggested.
“Isn’t it too rushed?”
An Xinhui hesitated. The darkness illusion gemstone was so precious, if they damaged it due to haste, she would surely feel so much heartache that she wanted to die.
“No rush at all!”
Sun Mo explained, “I’ve already done my research. Physical labor isn’t required to construct the darkness illusion dojo. As long as we have enough spirit stones, we will be able to ‘grow’ one.”
“Grow a building?”
An Xinhui’s red lips were now in an ‘O’ shape due to shock.
“Yes!”
This was the answer the Divine Sight gave him. Speaking of which, An Xinhui’s lip line was truly mesmerizing. Sun Mo suddenly felt like stuffing a banana into her mouth, or it would be too much of a waste.
“How magical!”
After An Xinhui exclaimed in surprise, she wanted to ask Sun Mo how he knew it.
As a one-in-a-thousand-year genius of the Heavenly Mystery Academy and the granddaughter of the Central Province Academy’s old headmaster, An Xinhui had read many books when she was ten years old and she was very learned.
She had seen books that many people weren’t qualified to read. However, among the books she read, there had never been any records about a treasure similar to the darkness illusion gemstone.
In that case, how did Sun Mo know about it?
An Xinhui didn’t feel that Sun Mo had read more books than her!
However, she suppressed her curiosity and didn’t ask.
“Ai, he is no longer the little Sun Mo who would talk to me about everything under the sun.”
An Xinhui sighed emotionally.
“That’s settled then!”
The location of the 1-star great teacher qualification exam was in Guangling. Although Sun Mo had the eight-gate cloud and could fly there in half a day, he had to head there a week in advance to familiarize himself with the surroundings as well as to look at the testing ground. He would also collect some information about his opponents so he wouldn’t miss out on anything.
Sun Mo was simply someone like that. No matter what he was doing, he would do his best to be fully prepared.
“Wait a minute, as for the spirit stones…”
An Xinhui still had a question. The Central Province Academy might have some deposits of spirit stones, but she felt that it might not be enough. Besides, spirit stones were considered battle resources, and it wasn’t easy to buy them.
“Oh, you don’t have to worry. I will handle it!”
The laws of the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces were different from the Darkness Continent. Once spirit stones were brought over, the spirit qi contained within them would dissipate quickly. Hence, it would be very troublesome if one needed to use special equipment to store it.
However, Sun Mo didn’t need to do such a thing. He could directly use the teleportation gate and move as many spirit stones as he wanted to. As for physical labor, he had Xuanyuan Po.
Naturally, as the headmaster, he couldn’t lie to An Xinhui about this. Besides, Sun Mo also needed her help to conceal his secret.
“I understand!”
An Xinhui nodded heavily. “I will help you to protect the secret. If there’s no need to, I myself won’t appear in the vicinity when the darkness illusion dojo is being built.”
Sun Mo smiled and was very satisfied. An Xinhui was so tactful, and it saved him a lot of effort from needing to persuade her.
After chatting about official business, Sun Mo left. He didn’t seem to have any intentions of going for a stroll with An Xinhui.
Sun Mo’s back seemed sturdy and profound under the moonlight. Somehow, his back exuded a strong sense of self-confidence and strength. He was no longer the little boy who would blush when speaking with her.
“Although you are much colder toward me, I am surprised that I like your current manner more.”
An Xinhui smiled self-mockingly. “Also, thank you for everything you have done for me. I will definitely repay you.”
Ding!
Favorable impression points from An Xinhui +1,000. Respect (7,502/10,000).
…
The system notification rang out a little while after Sun Mo walked away. 1,000 favorable impression points. This proved that An Xinhui was a woman who knew gratitude.
After returning to the villa, Sun Mo saw Gu Xiuxun wearing loose cotton robes and currently sitting on a chair in the living room, munching on a fruit.
“So fast? You didn’t go for a stroll with sister Xinhui?”
Gu Xiuxun asked Lu Zhiruo about Sun Mo after she saw her returning earlier. Hence, she knew that Sun Mo was with An Xinhui. But the period that passed was too short. How come Sun Mo actually returned so quickly?
“Sun Mo, don’t tell me you don’t know how to interact with women?”
Sun Mo’s expression stiffened. He truly had no idea.
“Ai, you can’t let this continue!”
Gu Xiuxun sighed. “Ordinary girls would definitely take the initiative to pursue you because of your excellence, but Sister Xinhui is more outstanding than you. Moreover, since a few of her pursuers were even more outstanding than you, you really have to work harder.”
Sun Mo chortled. “How should I work hard?”
“Why don’t you send her some gifts and say some sweet words to her? When the situation is appropriate, you can act more loving toward her as well!”
Gu Xiuxun explained.
Sun Mo immediately looked at the masochist, silently musing whether she had the soul of a woman from the modern era living in her.
“You have to trust me. All those guys who pursue me act like this!”
Gu Xiuxun boasted.
“Did any of them succeed?”
Sun Mo asked straight to the point.
“Eh!”
If Gu Xiuxun was a woman of the modern era, she would definitely curse out loud and counter-ask Sun Mo whether he knew how to chat with people properly.
(With your level of eq, you can just be a ‘magician’* forever and cast your fireball spell!)
However, she had to make things clear.
“They didn’t succeed. Am I, Gu Xiuxun, such a shallow woman?”
Gu Xiuxun didn’t want Sun Mo to think that she was a woman who would be ‘hooked’ by guys easily.
“Haha!”
Sun Mo suddenly thought of Gu Xiuxun’s masochist personality. A simp would surely fail in pursuing her. In fact, one might even have to scold and berate her before they could actually succeed.
“What are you laughing about?”
Gu Xiuxun stared at Sun Mo in puzzlement. “I can see some bad stuff from the look in your eyes. You must be thinking of something sordid!”
Pak!
Sun Mo took his outer garment off and tossed it toward Gu Xiuxun’s face.
Gu Xiuxun snorted angrily. She then lifted the apple in her hand and wanted to throw it at Sun Mo. However, this fellow had escaped to the upper floors while laughing.
“With your iron-panel figure? Even if you want to show it to me, I won’t look!”
Sun Mo’s voice rang out from above.
“You are then the iron panel, your whole family are iron panels!”
Gu Xiuxun’s lips twitched. (My chest is much larger than Li Ziqi, alright?)
But after that, the masochist’s countenance fell.
She was older than Li Ziqi by eight years, so it was normal for her chest to be larger since she had undergone puberty!
After that, she thought things through and realized that the size of her chest really couldn’t be compared to any of her colleagues in terms of size?
“Hmph, you are actually looking down on me? I’m not going to leave. I will eat off you and lodge here. I will still make you give me a massage.”
Gu Xiuxun mumbled. It was unknown why, but when she heard Sun Mo talking about her chest and calling her iron-panel, she actually felt a little excited.
(It can’t be that I’ve fallen in love with Sun Mo, right?)
(No, I have to discard this thought quickly. Gu Xiuxun, you must not let your future husband down!)
After thinking of this, Gu Xiuxun hurriedly grabbed Sun Mo’s outer garment and tossed it away.
However, a few minutes later, she picked it back up. After all, throwing it away was too impolite. But when she hung it on the chair, she didn’t know what was wrong with her brain, and she actually lowered her head and went to sniff it.
Eh?
(Wasn’t it said that a man’s clothing would have some smell? Why is there no smell? So, the thirty-six tricks and stratagems to chase a guy is fake?)
(Hmph, seems like I’ve spent five taels of silver for nothing!)
Gu Xiuxun placed Sun Mo’s shirt down and prepared to head up, going back to her room to meditate. In the end, when she turned around, she saw Sun Mo standing at the stairs with a shocked look on his face and a teacup in his hand, looking at her.
