Chapter 1022: Who Dares Touch My Disciples?
Translator: Lordbluefire
After Sun Mo rejected once again and even turned to leave, Zhou Xingtong’s lips twitched and he snuffed.
(You’re really good at pretending! Do you think that everyone will think that you are noble if you do this? What naivety! Why is a crafty fox like you pretending to be a cat? Which person here hasn’t been exposed to society’s harshness? Everyone has seen through your plot.)
Zhou Xingtong didn’t call out to Sun Mo. He was holding his stand, waiting for Sun Mo to make a fool of himself.
He was sure Sun Mo would definitely slow down and wait for his third persuasion.
However, Zhou Xingtong soon realized that something was amiss. Sun Mo walked on leisurely, admiring the manor’s scenery while leaving without any reluctance.
(Hold on! This script isn’t right! Why are you leaving so decisively?)
Most of the other great teachers were whispering softly, discussing Sun Mo’s God Hands. The others were saying how amazing the Ten Thousand Miles Movement was. As for Sun Mo’s departure?
That was all just an act.
“He is really young and promising. To think that he’s able to be so highly regarded by the Zhou Clan to be receiving a saint-tier cultivation art as a gift in his twenties.”
“That’s right. When I was in my twenties, I was still racking my brain to woo the most beautiful girl in school.”
“In 20 years, there’ll definitely be a spot for Sun Mo at the top of the great teacher world!”
Liang Hongda listened to their discussion, feeling a little contempt. They were underestimating Sun Mo too much. 20 years?
It’d take him 10 years at most!
Sun Mo might already become an important character then!
At the very least, this would be the case in the spirit rune domain!
“Huh?”
Liu Xu turned and saw that there wasn’t a trace of Sun Mo in the courtyard. He was surprised. “Where did he go?”
Swoosh!
Everyone turned their heads around to look for him. They then looked toward Zhou Xingtong.
“What the hell?”
The great teachers were speechless.
Zhou Xingtong reacted as well and quickly gave chase.
“Teacher Sun, hold on! Please hold on!”
At this moment, Zhou Xingtong felt extremely aggrieved. (I f*cking give you a gift, and it’s even such a valuable gift. Why am I being slighted like this? The moment at which my status is at its lowest in my entire life has finally come!)
“The people from the Zhou Clan are used to receiving gifts and don’t have much experience in gifting them, right?”
“To think that he can’t even do something as simple as this. If Sun Mo wants to keep his pride, then let him do it. It won’t hurt to say a few more good words about him.”
“That’s right. Your grandson’s life as well as both of your looks are still in his hands.”
All the major characters scoffed.
They were still feeling upset about getting implicated by the puses. Therefore, their impression of the Zhou Clan had turned for the worse.
Everyone knew that Zhou Xingtong was going to teach Sun Mo the Ten Thousand Miles Movement and didn’t follow after him.
A few minutes later, Zhou Xingtong came back.
“So fast?”
Liang Hongda was surprised, but he soon smiled. “It’s a good thing that Wenbin is fine now. But Xingtong probably doesn’t have the time, so why not let me play host then? Hmm? Where’s Sun Mo?”
At the moment, the others also felt that something was amiss.
Zhou Xingtong’s countenance was very grim and Sun Mo didn’t seem to be with him.
There was a problem here!
Regardless if it was out of one’s sentiments or reason, Sun Mo should stay behind to have a meal after learning the Ten Thousand Miles Movement to mitigate their relationship, right?
Could it be that he hadn’t learned it?
“Sun Mo left!”
Zhou Xingtong was still stunned. When he had started to give chase, Sun Mo had already left on Chasing Cloud. Only then did he understand…
Sun Mo wasn’t trying to be polite. He didn’t care for the Ten Thousand Miles Movement.
All the major characters were stunned.
A saint-tier cultivation art was like an unparalleled beauty to cultivators. Any man who was physically and mentally fit wouldn’t be able to fend off her charms.
Could it be that Sun Mo didn’t have a c*ck?
“I heard that all the cultivation arts Sun Mo practice are saint-tier ones.”
A great teacher exposed this and looked toward Liang Hongda.
“En!”
Liang Hongda nodded. He had investigated Sun Mo before and knew about some of his more private matters. “Moreover, all of them are considered rare. Based on what I know, his movement technique is the Wind King Divine Art, a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art.”
“Tsk tsk, of course he won’t care for Zhou Clan’s gift!”
The major characters sighed.
As expected, those with a strong background had the right to be arrogant.
“The Zhou Clan has it bad. Having offended a great uprising star like Sun Mo, even if they wouldn’t fall, their reputation would take a blow.”
Liang Hongda exclaimed.
“I feel that the Jiang Clan has it the worst. Jiang Zhitong had created trouble for Sun Mo during the examination. If it wasn’t because Sun Mo was too amazing, he’d have failed.”
Someone gloated.
“Do you think Sun Mo will participate in the 4-stars great teacher examination at the end of this year? Given Li Ziqi’s standards, the Zhou Clan’s face would get swollen from all the slapping if she were to help Sun Mo rise successfully.”
“And there’s the Jiang Clan too. I heard that Jiang Zhitong will be participating in the 4-stars great teacher examination this year and is already refusing to meet guests, fully focusing on his preparations!”
“There’s going to be a good show to watch!”
The bunch of major characters were having fun.
A maid, who was standing at the side, continued to look toward the door where Sun Mo’s view was no longer in sight. She felt a sense of loss.
(I won’t get to see him again, right? Sigh! I’ve just reached the most beautiful moment in life, but it has already ended.)
…
On the way back to the hotel, Sun Mo reflected on the way he interacted with people.
It was good. He hadn’t made any mistakes.
Putting aside that Zhou Xingtong had only brought out an inferior-grade saint-tier cultivation art, even if it was a peerless-grade one, Sun Mo wouldn’t care about it.
(I have Immemorial Vairocana with me. If there’s a skill I want, I can just challenge the other party and get the skill from fighting them. Zhou Xingtong wants to use a cultivation art to kill three birds with one stone? Dream on! There’s no need for the Zhou Clan to repay the debt of me saving Zhou Wenbin, but Secondary Saint Zhou must make the apology. Moreover, it must be done in public.)
Ding!
“Congratulations, you’ve concurrently received the admiration from 27 major characters, receiving over 20,000 favorable impression points in one go. You’ve completed the achievement ‘Your talent causes major characters to feel great admiration’. You are awarded one gold treasure chest!”
Sun Mo waited for a while and realized that there was only one reward. Therefore, he couldn’t be bothered to pat the papaya girl’s head and decided to open it directly.
A skill book appeared in front of Sun Mo.
“Tsk, who doesn’t get to eat dumplings during new year? Even though I’m not a lucky person, I have moments when my luck goes off the scale.”
Sun Mo felt very proud. It was finally not a time emblem anymore. However, after seeing the skill book’s name, his expression instantly turned into one of disdain.
Ding!
“Congratulations, you’ve received one [Great Teacher Theory: Culturing Oneself].”
“What use is this?” Sun Mo wanted to curse. (Is this gold treasure chest a fake?)
The system didn’t reply, but then Sun Mo saw that there were more words on the cover—can be used to dispel boredom.
As expected, it was a useless book!
“If I open chests by myself next time, I’ll chop off my hands!”
Sun Mo swore.
…
Li Ziqi didn’t wish to waste time and was drawing spirit runes in the room. Suddenly, door knocking sounds rang out.
Knock! Knock!
“What is it?”
The little sunny egg didn’t stop.
“Miss Qin told me to inform you that she’ll be going to the weapon shop across the hotel to take a look.”
This voice belonged to a waiter from the hotel. Li Ziqi was familiar with it, but what the other party said caused her to frown.
Why was she running around at a time like this?
However, Qin Yaoguang might be thinking that there wouldn’t be any danger of moving around at the shops opposite the hotel. Her character was more unpredictable to begin with.
The waiter took his leave.
Li Ziqi wanted to continue to draw her spirit runes, but after a few more strokes, she stopped.
That couldn’t do. She must call Qin Yaoguang back.
With Zhou Wenbin in trouble, Zhou Xingtong had to put aside his pride to come ask for their teacher’s help. This showed that the problem was very big and that the enemy was very crazy, not caring for the clan of a secondary saint.
A person like this could do anything.
After writing a few words, Li Ziqi put down her brush and picked up her longsword. After some thought, she went out. She glanced around and then entered Jiang Leng’s room.
“I’ll go call Qin Yaoguang back!”
After informing Jiang Leng about this, Li Ziqi left the hotel and went to the weapon shop.
“Miss, what would you like to buy?”
The shopkeeper went up to her.
“My junior martial sister came by just now. Where did she go?”
Li Ziqi asked and then pointed to a longsword in passing. “I want this.”
“She went to the antique store in Apricot Street.”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, “It isn’t far off, just two streets away. Head over in that direction and you’ll arrive. I heard that the shop had brought in several items recently. You can go check it out. Maybe you will be able to find something valuable there.”
“Thank you, shopkeeper!”
Li Ziqi paid and took the longsword. She then followed the directions that the shopkeeper gave her, heading over to Apricot Street. However, she had just entered the second alley when she was stopped.
“Hello, Li Ziqi!”
Huang Meibo wore a cold expression, looking like a vicious dog who was blocking someone’s way.
“Hmmm? It’s you?” Li Ziqi was surprised. “Is anything the matter?”
“I want to have a duel with you!”
Huang Meibo proposed.
“I’m sorry, I have something on right now!”
The little sunny egg refused.
“You’re looking for Qin Yaoguang, right? Have a fight with me. Regardless of who wins, I’ll return her to you. Otherwise, you’ll only be able to receive a corpse.”
Huang Meibo threatened.
Li Ziqi had wanted to continue the act when she heard this. Her expression turned solemn. “So it’s you? I thought you were only passing by.”
“You’ve already discovered that?”
Huang Meibo was surprised.
She had prepared this setup.
She had secretly infiltrated into the hotel, knocked out Qin Yaoguang with drugs, and then hid her. She then paid the hotel’s waiter money to get him to inform Li Ziqi.
After Li Ziqi arrived at the weapon shop, the shopkeeper would then recommend her to the antique store.
As Huang Meibo had pretended to be the niece of the antique store’s shopkeeper, she told the weapon store’s shopkeeper that as long as a customer entered her shop, she’d pay him a commission regardless if the person were to make a purchase or not.
With that, of course the weapon shop’s shopkeeper would recommend fervently.
It was because he wasn’t Huang Meibo’s accomplice that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to tell that he was lying.
Huang Meibo’s eventual goal was to lure Li Ziqi to this desolate alley to have a fight.
“There are too many loopholes.”
Li Ziqi’s lips twitched.
“I don’t have any other intentions. I only want to prove that I’m more outstanding than you, the champion!”
Huang Meibo glared at Li Ziqi. She had planned on rising to fame in this examination, but she hadn’t expected that Li Ziqi would get all the limelight.
Huang Meibo had put in a lot of effort into preparing for the martial arts examination—the only round in which she could salvage her reputation. However, Li Ziqi had forfeited the match, so she was really infuriated.
“Does your teacher know that you’re doing this?”
Li Ziqi didn’t wish to fight since it was meaningless.
“Don’t pressurize me with my teacher. No matter what I do, he’ll support me!”
Huang Meibo smiled coldly. “Including killing someone!”
Li Ziqi was stunned, then frowned and tried asking, “Is he a dark great teacher?”
“Make your move!” Huang Meibo drew her sword. “I’ll let you make the first move!”
