All of Sun Mo’s students felt very proud.
Saints were all very busy, and ordinary people would find it difficult to see them. However, Wei Ziyou had actually taken the initiative to come the moment their teacher had just entered Han City, and this indicated that he was extremely respectful toward their teacher.
In the time it took to make tea, Mei Ziyu secretly asked Mei Yazhi, “Mother, what is the headmaster planning to do?”
“Poaching!”
Mei Yazhi rolled her eyes at her daughter. “Have you become stupid after staying for a few years in Jinling?”
“Tm not stupid!”
Mei Ziyu pouted her lips and felt somewhat unconvinced. “For a great teacher like Sun Mo, which headmaster wouldn’t wish to poach him away? I’m asking if the headmaster has any other thoughts?”
“If you are not stupid, why have you not gotten married to Sun Mo yet after so many years?”
The moment she mentioned this, Mei Yazhi felt a bellyful of anger. She stretched out her fair finger and rapped her daughter on the head. “You are no longer young, are you planning to let things continue dragging on like this?”
For female great teachers, they would tend to marry later due to their professions. If it was an ordinary female, they would have been ‘stared’ to death by everyone.
“Sun Mo was in the Prison of Desolation and after he returned, he was busy trying to reach the 8-stars rank. Where would I have time?”
Mei Ziyu mentally mused that even An Xinhui didn’t have much time to spend with Sun Mo.
“In any case, if you don’t want to become an old spinster, you should hurry up and think of a solution to marry him.”
Mei Yazhi’s marriage was a failed one. In addition to her being very busy with alchemy, she showed her love for her daughter by letting her daughter do whatever she wanted. It was all fine as long as Mei Ziyu liked what she was doing.
Truthfully speaking, Sun Mo was so outstanding to the point that Mei Yazhi wasn’t able to find any flaws. The only problem was that there were too many women in love with Sun Mo.
Saint Wei understood the ways of the world. After chatting for half an hour with Sun Mo, although he wanted to continue, he still took the initiative to bid farewell.
The two of them had an agreement to tour Jixia Academy together tomorrow.
“Uncle Wei, how do you feel about Sun Mo?”
In the carriage, Mei Yazhi asked a question.
“If Ziyu could put in more effort, it would be good if Sun Mo can become the son-in-law of our Jixia Academy!”
Saint Wei had always treated Mei Ziyu like his granddaughter.
Mei Yazhi instantly understood that this meant that the headmaster was extremely satisfied with Sun Mo.
The sunlight in the mornings of autumn was warm.
The gatekeeper, Mister Tie, was drinking as he paid attention to the various characters entering and leaving the academy.
The fame of the Jixia Academy was too great. Hence, many outsiders were coming from afar to visit the school, and this was something permitted by the headmaster. Mister Tie knew that no one would dare to act recklessly on the campus, but he was a professional guy and thus, would always open his
eyes wide and do his best to memorize the appearances of every outsider.
So, if some trouble happened, he would be able to help a little.
“Wait a minute, carriages cannot enter. What? You are royalty? Even if you are the Qi Emperor’s descendant, it is useless!”
“Drive the carriage slower. Can’t you see there are students here? What would happen if you knock into people? Do you have any morality?”
“Wife, I’ve said many times that we are not allowed to set up a store at the school entrance. Let’s leave quickly!”
Mister Tie’s daily job was to maintain the law and order at the school entrance because the human traffic here was very great. Moreover, some peddlers would always want to try their luck.
All of a sudden, Mister Tie saw a familiar yet unfamiliar silhouette. He instantly moved over and appeared at the school entrance.
“Why is the headmaster here?”
Mister Tie rubbed his eyes gently.
It was familiar because this was the headmaster of Jixia Academy, who didn’t recognize him. For major characters like this that exuded magnificence, everyone would remember him with just a glance.
Unfamiliar because Wei Ziyou’s status was too precious. Gatekeepers like Mister Tie might not see the headmaster more than three times per year.
Mister Tie didn’t dare to neglect the headmaster. Hence, he hurriedly jogged over to greet him.
“Go and be busy with your stuff!”
Wei Ziyou waved his hands. At the same time, he also indicated for the teachers and students who were bowing to him to disperse.
“From the looks of things, the headmaster is waiting for someone? But I didn’t hear anything about any major characters coming here to conduct lectures or interviews?”
Mister Tie scratched his head. All of a sudden, realization dawned upon him as he recalled a piece of news in the [Great Teachers Report]. Sun Mo was planning his lecture tour around the Nine Provinces, and his first stop would be the Jixia Academy.
After counting the days, it was almost time.
“Could the headmaster be waiting for Sun Mo?”
Mister Tie muttered to himself. “I don’t think so. After all, the headmaster is a Saint!”
No matter how strong Sun Mo was, he was still a few tiers inferior compared to a saint.
Mister Tie couldn’t feel at ease and kept glancing toward the long streets.
Very soon, he saw three horse carriages traveling through the streets and stopping outside the school. He didn’t go over to stop them because on the horse carriage in the lead, other than the Jixia Academy’s emblem, he also saw a 7-stars insignia. This indicated that the horse carriages belonged to a
7-stars great teacher of their school.
“They are the horse carriages from the Mei Clan!”
Mister Tie was preparing to go over and greet them, but in the end, he saw an impossibly handsome man jumping down from one of the carriages. After that, Mei Ziyu also came down.
“So this person is Sun Mo?”
Mister Tie immediately felt very angry.
He wasn’t acquainted with Sun Mo, but he knew the reason why Mei Ziyu went to Jinling was because she admired Sun Mo a lot.
Although Mei Yazhi had explained that it was because Mei Ziyu’s body was unwell and needed Sun Mo’s God Hands for treatment, those with brains would definitely think deeper about this.
After all, Sun Mo was simply too outstanding.
Mister Tie seriously surveyed Sun Mo. After that, he couldn’t help but sigh. One couldn’t help but say that the external appearance of this man truly had nothing to be picked on.
After several years, Sun Mo who was 30 and overflowing with talent had already begun to exude a great ancestor-level aura.
“The headmaster has always been very good to Ziyu. He must have gone over to receive her, right?”
Mister Tie still had a fantasy in his mind. In the end, he discovered that his terrifying guess from before was true. The headmaster was waiting for Sun Mo.
(But why?)
(You are an esteemed saint!)
(Even emperors had to book your time in advance if they wanted to see you. Who the hell is this Sun Mo?)
“Itruly feel bad to have made Headmaster Wei wait so long!”
Sun Mo hurriedly apologized.
He was also shocked because although he had an agreement with the headmaster to tour Jixia Academy together, he purposely came early as he didn’t want to slight the headmaster. But who would have expected that the headmaster was even earlier than him?
“Hehe, there’s no need to be so polite!”
Wei Ziyou smiled amiably and was like a grandpa from next door. “I naturally have to display my sincerity when meeting with an absolute genius. Also, your relationship with Ziyu is very good. In the future, you can just treat this place as your home, there’s no need to feel restrained.”
Mei Ziyu blushed.
Li Ziqi and the others also got off the carriage. When they saw how fond Wei Ziyou was of their teacher, all of them felt somewhat worried.
“Would Teacher be poached away?”
Lu Zhiruo tugged on Li Ziqi’s sleeves.
“Actually, it isn’t too bad to teach at Jixia Academy. In the rankings of the Nine Greats, the Jixia Academy’s foundation is one of the top two.”
Helian Beifang stared at the majestic school gates and sighed in admiration.
“The Jixia Rostrum. I won’t say anything more about it. That place is the highest-level rostrum where all great teachers in the world want to get on!”
Qin Yaoguang continued, “Other than this, there are still three great magical buildings in this school. They are known as the Myriad Saint Learning Palace, Heaven-Ask Library, and the Heart Distinguishing Tower. Do you guys know what’s so magical about them?”
“I know! I know!”
Lu Zhiruo lifted her little hand, wanting to answer.
[1] Jixia Learning Palace will be changed to Jixia Academy
