“Scum!”

  Sun Mo roared, a vein on his forehead throbbed violently. He didn’t expect that he would see such a shameless thing in the Central Province Academy.

  Yang Cai took in a gulp of cold air and climbed up from the ground. Due to the pain on his face, he didn’t feel as drunk as before.

  “F*** you, do you know who I am?”

  Yang Cai roared in rage.

  Sun Mo’s lips curled. He took three steps forward and arrived before Yang Cai. After that, he wielded the wooden blade with all his strength and hit Yang Cai on the face.

  Bang!

  The wooden blade was like a step whip lashing out on Yang Cai’s face. His mouth already changed forms, and half of his teeth were spat out together with his blood and saliva. After that, Yang Cai’s pudgy body spun around due to the heavy force of the attack and smashed into the ground with a loud thud.

  Clouds of dust and soil flew up in the air.

  Aiyo!

  Yang Cai cried out in misery. It was so painful that he curled up into a ball.

  Sun Mo didn’t let Yang Cai go. He used his wooden blade and smashed it toward Yang Cai’s right arm.

  Kacha!

  The sound of bones breaking rang out. Yang Cai’s arm was visibly fractured.

  Ying Baiwu finally regained her senses from her panicked state earlier. She immediately rushed over and pulled on Sun Mo’s arm. “Stop beating him, he is the logistics department head of the school, the top lackey of Zhang Hanfu. If you offend him, you would surely be expelled.”

  Sun Mo stopped. He glanced at Ying Baiwu in bewilderment. “You don’t hate him?”

  “I do, but after you beat him up, there would only be greater trouble.”

  Ying Baiwu wanted nothing more than to chop Yang Cai into eight pieces on the spot. However, she knew she couldn’t do this or it would implicate Sun Mo. “You should leave now. Let me handle things here.”

  “What do you plan to do then?”

  Sun Mo was curious. “You are courting death……argh!”

  Even before Yang Cai could finish his sentence, he suddenly screamed in pain. This was because Sun Mo had lifted his feet and directly stomped on his face, and he did this repeatedly. Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Sun Mo felt a little regret at the fact that he wasn’t wearing a pair of army boots today. If he had army boots, he would definitely stomp on this fatty until all his grease flowed out.

  “Aiyo, aiyo, stop hitting me. I’ll admit to my mistake.” Yang Cai covered his head and begged. “You should leave quickly.” Ying Baiwu urged. After that, she took her firewood knife and pointed the knife at Yang Cai’s head. “Stop shouting or I’ll slash you to death.”

  The courage Ying Baiwu displayed caused Sun Mo to see her in a new light. “You can’t possibly be thinking of killing him, right?”

  Sun Mo could sense Ying Baiwu’s hesitation. Due to nervousness and fear, her face was extremely pale and she was sweating heavily, causing her damp clothes to stick to her body.

  “Teacher, just leave. Don’t care so much.”

  e S0 I

  Ying Baiwu continued to urge Sun Mo. She was indeed thinking about this. Her family was from the lowest rung of the society and Yang Cai was someone with a vengeful heart. If she let him go today, her family would definitely be finished.

  Hence, she might as well go all-out and kill Yang Cai. In any case, she had suffered enough from him. At the same time, she could seek justice for her mother who was once humiliated by Yang Cai.

  “Your hands are trembling, how can you kill someone like that?”

  Sun Mo surveyed Ying Baiwu, and he could understand her current feelings. In the past when he was a teacher in his previous world, he had seen before some arrogant parents of students who had deep backgrounds. Their child hit one of his classmates yet nothing happened to the child. The parents of the child even wanted the victim and the victim’s parents to apologize. This was truly arrogant to the extreme.

  However, authority and wealth were considered powers that were unshakable in that world. But in this world, one’s martial strength was then the crucial point. The current Sun Mo feared nothing.

  “I’m the one who hit him, so you don’t have to feel afraid. I will completely finish this fellow.”

  As Sun Mo spoke, he stomped down on Yang Cai’s body again.

  Yang Cai suddenly jumped and aimed a punch at Sun Mo’s head. Due to overexertion of strength and because he was too fat, his fatty flesh was trembling, producing a wave effect.

  “Go to hell for me!”

  Yang Cai roared in rage. He unleashed all his stored-up power in this strike.

  However, Sun Mo had anticipated it. He lifted his hand and brandished his blade.

  When Yang Cai’s fist was about to hit Sun Mo’s head, Sun Mo’s wooden blade arrived first at its target despite being unleashed slower. It pierced at Yang Cai’s throat.

  “What?”

  Yang Cai’s eyes violently narrowed. His entire body instantly tensed and he was almost frightened to death. If this strike hit, his hyoid bone would definitely shatter.

  Just when Yang Cai planned to retreat and avoid it, the wooden blade suddenly shifted in a bizarre arc, moving past his throat and slamming into his chest.

  Bang!

  Yang Cai stumbled backward from the impact and couldn’t catch his breath. However, he knew that the crucial moment had arrived. Just when he was about to brace himself and face Sun Mo head-on, the wooden blade instantly erupted forth with over ten after-images. Eighteen Words Order! Pak! Pak! Pak!

  Each of the wooden blade’s strikes was faster than the successive ones and struck the different parts of Yang Cai’s body. For example, his chest, shoulder, wrist, stomach, and dantian!

  Ah!

  Yang Cai screamed. It was so painful that sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. At this moment, his body was completely numb. He simply couldn’t even react and could only watch passively as Sun Mo’s wooden blade attacked again.

  Colors of Autumn!

  The wooden blade danced, arcing through an azure piece of sky.

  Bang!

  Yang Cai was blasted ten meters backward and was like a fat pig in a slaughterhouse. His body twitched, and he didn’t even have the strength to move a finger.

  Ying Baiwu who was standing at the side was completely dumbfounded.

  Although Yang Cai neglected his cultivation, he was still at the blood-ignition realm, but he was actually suppressed by this young teacher.

  And what was the technique he was using? It was simply too gorgeous.

  One must know that from the start to the end, Sun Mo hadn’t moved from his original location. His face didn’t show any signs of shock or panic. In fact, his expression was one of exceptional calmness.

  “His name is Yang Cai. He is the department head of the school’s logistics department!”

  Ying Baiwu felt that she had to make things clear.

  “Oh!”

  Sun Mo nodded. “And, after that?”

  “After that?”

  Ying Baiwu was stunned. (Is there still a need to say anything more? After hearing Yang Cai’s identity, don’t you feel you should hide to stay safe?) “He will take revenge for the slightest insult and is Zhang Hanfu’s number one lapdog. Those who offended him would have dire endings.”

  Ying Baiwu explained while stealthily glancing at Sun Mo’s expression. But she discovered that there was no change to his expression at all.

  “Oh, so this fellow is that Yang Cai!”

  Sun Mo was suddenly enlightened. (It was none other than you who received Zhang Hanfu’s instruction to make things difficult for me? Seems like my beatings were too light.)

  “Sun……Sun Mo, you offended your superior despite being a subordinate. I…… I will get Headmaster Zhang to fix you!”

  Yang Cai howled.

  “Are you still thinking that you can walk out of here?”

  Sun Mo laughed.

  After hearing this, Yang Cai’s entire body turned cold. Could it be that this fellow wanted to kill him? But after that, the sounds of hurried footsteps could be heard.

  “What are you all doing?”

  There would be security guards patrolling the school every night. After hearing the commotion, they rushed over.

  “Depar…… Department Head Yang? Why are you in this state?”

  The security guards saw Yang Cai lying on the ground, covered with dust and blood. They were all badly frightened and subconsciously surrounded Sun Mo and Ying Baiwu.

  However, no one attacked because Sun mo was wearing the azure-colored teacher robes.

  “Lift me up and bring me away!” Yang Cai roared. His eyes stared at Sun Mo with resentment. “Sun Mo, you are finished. Just wait for your death!”

  The security captain didn’t dare to defy Yang Cai who was clearly the victim. Since the victim didn’t request for them to take down the offender, he wouldn’t be overly meddlesome.

  After they sent Yang Cai to the infirmary, the group of security guards heaved a sigh of relief.

  “Who is that teacher? He actually beat Yang Cai up, does he not want to stay in school any longer?”

  A security guard asked.

  “Sun Mo!”

  The captain was someone responsible for the law and order of the school. Hence, he had met all intern teachers before.

  “Who?”

  The security guards were bewildered.

  “Sun Mo, God Hands. The fiance of Headmaster An Xinhui, a new teacher who just joined this year!” The captain reported Sun Mo’s titles one after the other. “You guys have no idea about him?”

  “We naturally know. We just didn’t expect this fellow to be so iron-headed!”

  For these security guards, the most inexperienced one of them had still worked here for two years. Hence, they all knew Yang Cai’s character. By not requesting for them to punish Sun Mo, it was clear that he was in the wrong during the conflict earlier. “In any case, there’s a good show to watch!”

  The captain spat out a mouthful of saliva. Actually, he wanted nothing more than to watch someone like Yang Cai get into trouble. However, he knew it was impossible because Zhang Hanfu was Yang Cai’s backing.

  In the warehouse, only Sun Mo and Ying Baiwu remained. After the atmosphere fell silent, Ying Baiwu spoke, “Give me 1,000 taels of silver.”

  “Mn?”

  Sun Mo was puzzled.

  “Yang Cai would surely inform my parents and get me to testify that you wanted to rape me. I don’t wish to malign you; hence, I can only bring my mother and flee together.”

  Ying Baiwu explained. “Why don’t you testify against Yang Cai?”

  Sun Mo didn’t understand.

  “Yang Cai’s background is too great and my whole family has to depend on him for meals. If we offend him, we would have to go hungry.”

  Ying Baiwu bitterly smiled. She had been living extremely cautiously and humbly, but she still couldn’t evade the harassment of scum like that.

  During these days, why was she working so hard? For whose sake was it?

  Her father’s legs were lame and he couldn’t work. If she lost this job, she would surely be beaten to death. In addition, she was too young and she was a girl as well. If she went out to work, there would basically be no places that wanted to hire her.

  If her father was to go hungry, he would surely lose his temper. At that time, he would definitely force her mother to sell her body. Not only that, but once she hit 18 or 19 years old, her father would also sell her to a brothel.

  Ying Baiwu understood her father, who was a gambling addict, too much. He would do it for sure. In truth, he had this idea for a long time.

  Seeing the 13-year-old girl furrowing her brows with worry on her pale face, Sun Mo suddenly felt an ache in his heart.

  At this age, she should be able to play around with no worries at all. Yet, she had to be burdened with the heavy responsibility of feeding her family and had to use a firewood knife to protect her last bit of dignity.

  Sun Mo lifted his hand and placed it on Ying Baiwu’s head. “You are very tired, right?”

  Upon hearing Sun Mo’s gentle voice, it was like the rays of the spring sun were shining upon her. Ying Baiwu couldn’t help but feel an ache in her heart.

  Pak!

  Ying Baiwu slapped Sun Mo’s hand away. She lowered her head. “I’m not tired!”

  She was a very stubborn girl and would definitely not show her weak side in front of others.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Ying Baiwu +30. Prestige connection unlocked: Neutral (30/100).

  Sun Mo started. He didn’t think that this girl would still have such pride. In that case, if he attempted to recruit her now, would she agree or disagree?

  Chapter 134 Those Who Offend Sun Mo Will Be Destroyed No Matter the Distance!

  Since the timing wasn’t right and Sun Mo intended to observe Ying Baiwu for a little while longer, he didn’t broach about the subject of accepting her as his disciple.

  “Alright, don’t think too much. You should go back and sleep. For the things that would happen next, you don’t have to be worried about them. I’ll take full responsibility for them.”

  Sun Mo took out all the silver he had and passed them to Ying Baiwu. “Take them!” “That man is Yang Cai, the logistics department head of the Central Province Academy. You are a new teacher, and you won’t be able to defeat him!”

  Ying Baiwu was very worried. She felt that even if Sun Mo didn’t die, he would still lose a layer of his skin.

  “That isn’t something you should be worrying about.”

  Sun Mo silently mused that he still had a hidden card up his sleeves. He had long since been waiting for Yang Cai to come to him so he could cripple that fellow.

  Ying Baiwu had a doubtful look on her face. Eventually, she left with heavy feelings.

  Sun Mo stood there for a while and pondered over all the methods Yang Cai could possibly use against him. He then left the canteen, but he was stunned again after exiting it.

  Because Ying Baiwu had just finished transporting the swill to her handcart and was about to pull it away.

  “She’s really strong!”

  Sun Mo silently sighed. If it was any other girl, they would surely be so scared after a rape attempt that their souls were on the verge of dissipation. However, this Ying Baiwu was still working.

  Ying Baiwu also didn’t want to do this. But as someone poor, if she didn’t work today, her family wouldn’t have food to eat.

  Life still continued.

  The department head of the logistics department being beaten up was a major thing. Moreover, the attacker was Sun Mo, Headmaster An’s fiance.

  As for the six security guards who saw this back then, no one told them to keep silent. This was why they had circulated this matter to others the next morning.

  After half-a-day, everyone already learned about it.

  Right now, it was extremely noisy in the logistics department office.

  Because their department head was injured and wasn’t present, these workers naturally began to laze about.

  “I heard that the head is seriously injured. His entire person became swollen ham!”

  Chen Mu inquired, and he glanced toward Li Gong. Li Gong was a trusted aide of the department head, so he should know some inside news.

  “Sun Mo is finished this time for sure.”

  Liu Tong rejoiced at the thought of Sun Mo’s misfortune.

  “You are thinking too much. Look at Sun Mo’s current fame. God Hands! It’s said that he conducts a two-hour lesson every day and the lecture theater would always be packed to the brim.”

  A round-faced logistics worker was drinking tea as he added.

  Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. Who would have thought that Sun Mo not only ate ‘soft-rice’, but he even had his arms around a golden rice bowl?

  That wondrous God Hands could allow him to know the bone structure and constitution of any student he touched…… With this pair of hands, he was innately suited to be a teacher.

  “No wonder Headmaster An would choose him to be her fiance!”

  Someone thought that he had discovered the truth.

  “Well, if the heavens want to favor him, it is useless even if we envy him.”

  Chen Mu sighed ruefully.

  “That’s enough, what do you mean that the heavens want to favor him? After offending Zhang Hanfu, even if Sun Mo possessed the God Hands, Zhang Hanfu would surely think of a way to break them.”

  Liu Tong ridiculed.

  Everyone didn’t reply after hearing this. They all knew that Liu Tong was fond of An Xinhui; hence, his hostility toward Sun Mo was bone-deep. He wanted Sun Mo to be out of luck every single day.

  Naturally, no one would disagree with Liu Tong because of this idle chat. After all, there were no benefits to be gained.

  “There’s no need to say anything about Headmaster An’s talent; her ability at teaching students is great as well. It’s just that her management of the school is insufficient.”

  Liu Tong shook his head.

  “Do you mean you should be the one to manage the school then?”

  The round-faced worker mocked.

  “You better not say it because I really feel that I can do a better job.”

  Liu Tong wasn’t humble at all. Other than managing the school, if he could sleep with An Xinhui, that would be even more awesome. However, a moment later, his expression became dispirited. Most probably, he would never have a chance to sleep with a woman like An Xinhui. Upon thinking of this, he began to hate Sun Mo even more.

  of have avu. Upohon more

  “Don’t assume Sun Mo is living well now. He would be finished in a few days.”

  Just as the sound of Liu Tong’s voice faded away.

  Bang!

  Li Gong forcefully slammed his teacup on the table and roared, “Have you said enough?”

  “Eh?”

  The bunch of workers was in a daze. (Why did you suddenly become so angry?) This was especially so for Liu Tong. He found it unbelievable. Wasn’t Li Gong and Sun Mo at loggerheads? Why would Li Gong want to defend him now?

  “A toad lusting after a swan’s flesh. Why don’t you look at your own appearance?!”

  Li Gong mocked and rolled his eyes.

  (Is Sun Mo someone you can nitpick? What the hell? If this daddy hasn’t been cultivating his temperament recently, this daddy would have beaten you until your ovaries burst!)

  Before this, Li Gong had only been forced to be respectful to Sun Mo because he wanted Sun Mo to treat his leg. But now, he was already convinced by Sun Mo and had accepted him. In half a month, Sun Mo managed to climb into a stable position in the Central Province Academy, and his performance filled everyone with shock and admiration. Also, his God Hands……

  When he thought about the future after his leg was healed, when he wouldn’t go soft anymore because he wouldn’t need a long time to change positions in a brothel, his respect for Sun Mo rose.

  “Those who offend Sun Mo will be destroyed no matter what!”

  Li Gong was like a lone wolf, staring at everyone. After that, he stared at Liu Tong.

  Liu Tong lowered his head and could only suppress his anger. Li Gong was the number one lackey of the department head and he was also the supervisor. Liu Tong couldn’t afford to offend Li Gong.

  “Hmph, just do your job well and stop gossiping unnecessarily!”

  Li Gong roared.

  BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

  The sound of knocking could be heard from the door.

  Everyone turned his head and saw Sun Mo entering

  At this moment, there were twelve workers in the office. Five of them stood up, and seven of them continued to sit still.

  When Li Gong saw Sun Mo, his solemn face immediately broke into a smile. He bent his waist and wanted to come over to greet him.

  But Sun Mo cast a glance at him.

  Li Gong immediately stopped, and his amiable smile turned back into a solemn expression.

  One couldn’t help but say that an old dog in society was awesome indeed. They knew how to read visual cues.

  “Aiya, how dangerous!” Li Gong secretly wiped his sweat. From the looks of things, Sun Mo didn’t want their relationship to be exposed to others. Luckily, his old dog vision had been trained for many years, and his sharp senses had managed to sense this before it was too late. If he didn’t discover this and anxiously went to greet Sun Mo, he would surely be in for it.

  Chen Mu and Li Gong were standing close to each other. When they saw all these tiny details, they couldn’t help but be shocked. Could it be that Li Gong had already been thoroughly subdued by Sun Mo?

  It couldn’t be, right? Although Li Gong was lame, he had many tricks up his sleeves or he wouldn’t have been able to become the supervisor.

  During these days, even if you wanted to be someone’s lackey, you had to be capable enough first.

  “Earlier, I think I heard someone criticizing me?”

  Sun Mo swept his gaze around the office.

  “No, nothing. Teacher sun, you must have heard wrongly.”

  The round-faced worker smiled obsequiously.

  “Shut up!”

  Sun Mo berated. “Is Teacher Sun something you can call?”

  “Eh!”

  The round-faced worker instantly felt awkward. As for the others who originally had an undisciplined attitude, they immediately became nervous.

  That’s right. Sun Mo was now the top new teacher in their academy. They, the workers from the logistics department, didn’t even have the qualifications to be mentioned in the same breath as him.

  “Who’s the one that criticized me earlier?”

  Sun Mo’s cold gaze stung their faces.

  Sun Mo wasn’t so bored to come here and establish dominance over them. But you couldn’t simply give some people face. The more you smiled at them, the more the other party would think that you were a pushover.

  Reverence wasn’t something gained from a kind attitude; you had to grab it with power.

  The gazes of everyone turned to Liu Tong.

  “Ah……ah ah. Tea…… Teacher Sun!”

  Liu Tong had had the time of his life earlier when he had been blasting Sun Mo behind his back. But now that he was in front of Sun Mo, he was even more obedient than a grandson. There was no solution to this as he couldn’t afford to offend Sun Mo.

  Only Li Gong dared to prank Sun Mo because he had Yang Cai as his backing. However, Liu Tong had no one.

  Sun Mo walked toward Liu Tong and patted his shoulder. “Earlier, what were you saying?”

  “No……nothing. You’ve heard wrongly!”

  Liu Tong shook his head and then bowed.

  “Your body doesn’t seem too healthy. You drank too much alcohol and if you continue like this for half a month, you will be paralyzed!”

  Sun Mo ridiculed.

  “Ah?”

  Liu Tong was in a daze. (Although I’m a glutton and would visit brothels frequently, it wasn’t to the extent where I would be paralyzed, right?)

  “You don’t believe me? Since I say that you will be paralyzed, you will definitely be half a month later.”

  After Sun Mo finished speaking, he pinched Liu Tong’s shoulder slightly and turned to leave.

  Liu Tong shivered. He thought of those rumors he had heard before.

  Sun Mo had the God Hands. Whenever he touched students, they would be able to break through. Earlier, when Sun Mo pinched his shoulder, would that lead to him being paralyzed?

  Liu Tong began to perspire cold sweat, but he discovered that his shoulder still felt hot.

  Right, Sun Mo must have done something to him.

  Upon thinking of this, Liu Tong’s face immediately lost all color. He hurriedly ran a few steps forward and knelt before Sun Mo with a thudding noise, hugging Sun Mo’s legs as he pleaded for mercy.

  “Teacher Sun, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have spoken nonsense, can you please spare me?”

  Sun Mo slanted his head to the side; there was a puzzled look on his face. “Mn? I don’t understand what you meant!”.

  “Teacher Sun, I was really in the wrong!”

  As Liu Tong spoke, he lifted his hands and slapped his own face twice, creating an extremely loud noise. “Teacher Sun, if you are still angry, please hit me then. I really cannot afford to be paralyzed, I still have to take care of my parents and kids!”

  The entire office was completely silent, and the other workers had ugly looks on their faces. Even those seven fellows, who were originally sitting down, stood up now with looks of worry and fear on their faces. Upon seeing this scene, Li Gong laughed in his heart. (Before Teacher Sun, you guys actually dared to sit down? All of your guts are truly large.)

  “Get out of my way!’

  Sun Mo kicked Liu Tong away.

  He came here to look for Li Gong and didn’t expect that he would hear the discussion of these other workers. Was he angry? That wasn’t the case. He only did this to establish a little dominance.

  In the future, he still needed to use Li Gong. In order to guarantee that this fellow wouldn’t betray him, Sun Mo had to refresh his memories. However, it was evident that he was overly worried about nothing.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Li Gong +30. Friendly (126/1,000). This value was due to the rumors that Li Gong had heard recently, as well as the combination of the current situation and his emotions. Li Gong was filled with reverence toward Sun Mo right now.

  Sun Mo left.

  However, the workers still didn’t dare to sit down. The round-faced worker was the bravest. He rushed out of the door and glanced outside.

  “There’s no one out there anymore!

  After the round-faced worker spoke, the storm-like atmosphere in the office instantly abated and no longer felt as tense.

  Everyone sat back on their chairs, but no one dared to discuss Sun Mo anymore. They were looking at Liu Tong who was still kneeling and had an ashen expression on his face. A moment later, all of them felt joy at his misfortune.

  Luckily, they hadn’t talked bad about Sun Mo earlier.

  They had been frightened. That was God Hands after all. Rumors about Sun Mo’s hands had been spread throughout the entire school. If Sun Mo said that you would be paralyzed in half a month, you would definitely be paralyzed in half a month.

  Chapter 135 I, Ying Baiwu, Refused to Resign Myself to Fate!

  Although Sun Mo didn’t say anything, as an experienced old dog, Li Gong knew that Sun Mo was definitely here to look for him.

  After waiting a while, Li Gong went out and immediately ran to the resting room in the warehouse area. As expected, Sun Mo was waiting for him there.

  “Teacher Sun!”

  Li Gong walked over with a smile on his face. He transformed from an old dog to a lackey.

  “I’ve beaten Yang Cai half to death.”

  Sun Mo looked into Li Gong’s eyes and took note of his fluctuating emotions.

  “Che!”

  Li Gong immediately gave him a thumbs up. “I actually wanted to beat him up long ago. That fellow is simply a scum!”

  “During these few days, Yang Cai would complain about me to the vice-headmaster. I want you to prepare the necessary materials.” Sun Mo instructed.

  “Sure!”

  Li gong nodded in agreement, not daring to slight Sun Mo at all. But when Sun Mo was about to leave, he finally couldn’t control himself and asked, “What about my leg?”

  “Do you think I won’t be able to cure it?” Sun Mo counter-asked.

  “No……no, I’m saying……” Li Gong wanted to ask when Sun Mo would cure his leg. But as he was about to ask, he suddenly didn’t dare to do so because he was afraid of offending Sun Mo.

  “Li Gong, it’s a minor matter to cure your leg.”

  Li Gong nodded but was silently grumbling in his heart. (I’m the one who is lame. Can you understand the emotions of a man who has been lame for over ten years?)

  However, after thinking about it, it was truly a minor matter for Sun Mo’s God Hands to cure his leg. “You have to look further ahead. This time, after Yang Cai is crushed, who do you think will replace his position?” “Eh!”

  Li Gong started.

  In the school, the three factions of power belonged to An Xinhui, Zhang Hanfu, and Wang Su. For such a lucrative job like the department head of the logistics department, none of the three would want to give it up.

  “I don’t dare to guarantee that you will get that position. However, I can still help you become a vice department head.”

  Sun Mo didn’t say this blindly.

  Kids would bother about who was right and wrong, while adults only cared about benefits.

  Li Gong was definitely not a good man, but he did have some ability. Seeing that Li Gong could be a supervisor and keep the other workers in line, Sun Mo could already tell that he was capable enough. It wasn’t a bad idea to keep Li Gong by his side and use him to bite others.

  That’s right. Li Gong wouldn’t be able to offend those teachers. But annoying them or causing them to feel disgusted was something he could accomplish.

  Li Gong’s brows leaped, and his heart pounded intensely. If that was really the case, his future would be boundlessly bright!

  “If you follow Zhang Hanfu, no matter how good your circumstances are, getting this position would represent the peak of what you can achieve. But if you follow me, this position is merely a starting step.”

  Sun Mo smiled slightly.

  Li Gong was a tactful and decisive person. If he saw an opportunity, he wouldn’t hesitate and would directly lunge toward it.

  Putong!

  Li Gong knelt and kowtowed three times.

  “Old Li’s life will belong to Teacher Sun from now on!”

  Li Gong kowtowed with enough force until his forehead was bruised. However, he didn’t feel pain. He was extremely excited.

  What was Sun Mo doing? Clearly, he wanted to seize power. Never forget that Sun Mo was An Xinhui’s fiance. This school was founded by the ancestor of the An Clan, so it could be considered their private property.

  Once Sun Mo married An Xinhui, he would no longer be a teacher and could be considered half an owner. He would have the qualifications to interfere in matters of the school.

  Right now, Sun Mo could still be considered a lone fighter. If Li Gong went over to his side now, he would be Sun Mo’s first subordinate to help him fight for his empire. In the future when rewards were given out, the position of a department head would be of no issues at all. Maybe, he could even get a higher position.

  “Very good!” Before Sun Mo left, he spoke, “I’m anticipating your performance. You must make that Yang Cai die thoroughly.”

  “Don’t worry!”

  Li Gong thumped his chest and guaranteed. The sunlight cascaded down on Sun Mo, bathing him in a layer of gold. In addition to his azure-colored teacher robes, Sun Mo’s entire body exuded the aura of extreme confidence. However, who would suspect that he was actually a double-faced scheming dog?!

  “How terrifying!”

  Li Gong suddenly trembled. He initially thought that Sun Mo was a harmless lackey. However, not only would Sun Mo get married to a great beauty like An Xinhui, but he even planned to obtain the school. What a formidable person, having an ambitious and ruthless character!

  Back then, Li Gong had wanted to suppress Sun Mo to gain Yang Cai’s recognition. Thus, when he recalled that, he simply felt ridiculous.

  Since he wasn’t played to death by Sun Mo, he really had to thank the heavens and earth.

  Upon thinking of this, Li Gong felt extremely fortunate and he also perspired cold sweat while thinking about the many ways Sun Mo could have dealt with him. After that, he solemnly warned himself that he could offend anyone in the future except for Sun Mo.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Li Gong +30. Friendly (166/1,000).

  “What the hell?”

  When Sun Mo heard the notification, he felt a little dazed.

  “Right now, your image in Li Gong’s heart is that of a great demon king!”

  The system laughed.

  “What’s the brain of that fellow made of?”

  Sun Mo was speechless. He had said all those things earlier because he wanted to give Li Gong something to look forward to, to tempt him to do his best and not cower at the last moment.

  Three days later, Yang Cai, who was covered in bandages, appeared in Ying Baiwu’s house.

  Ying Tie hobbled over with his lame leg and smiled in welcome.

  “Department Head Yang, can I help you?’ After Ying Tie finished speaking, he got slapped over ten times.

  The corner of his mouth bled, but Ying Tie didn’t even dare to fart. He directly knelt and kowtowed to apologize.

  There was no solution to this. He couldn’t afford to offend such a major character. His entire family depended on Yang Cai’s goodwill to eat.

  “Ying Tie, you truly taught a good daughter!” Yang Cai cursed and stomped his feet on Ying Tie’s face.

  “What has that lowly girl done now? I will beat her to death!”

  Ying Tie had a look of rage. Actually, he understood that Yang Cai had most probably wanted to sleep with his daughter but failed. This was why Yang Cai was venting his anger on him right now.

  His daughter was also absurd. She wouldn’t die even if she slept with Yang Cai and if she became Yang Cai’s mistress, their whole family would be able to fill their stomachs and live well their entire lives. Wouldn’t that be perfect?

  “You, come over!”

  Yang Cai called Ying Tie to his side and carefully instructed him. After some time, he asked, “Do you understand everything?”

  “Mn!”

  Yang Tie nodded. Wasn’t this just framing someone? (I’m very familiar with this!)

  “Do it well. After this matter is concluded, I will arrange a relaxed job for you in school.”

  Yang Cai knew that if he wanted a horse to run, he had to feed the horse well and take out the carrot as a source of temptation.

  “I’ll have to thank Department Head Yang first!”

  Ying Tie had no moral principles at all.

  “Mn, there’s 100 taels of silver here. Take and use it first.”

  After Yang Cai finished speaking, he turned to leave. This place was the poverty zone, and it was also very filthy. He didn’t even want to stay a second longer. “Thanks for Department Head Yang’s kind bestowment!”

  Ying Tie called out in a loud voice and sent Yang Cai to the street’s entrance. After that, he impatiently took the money and visited a street prostitute.

  He wanted to release his frustrations first before going to the gambling den to conduct a massacre.

  Ying Tie felt that he would be able to win today for sure.

  During the night, Ying Baiwu carried a piece of cured meat and 0.5 kg of beef back home.

  After she ended her job at the blacksmith today, Ying Baiwu told her boss that she was about to move away.

  The boss felt it was a pity. Although Ying Baiwu was a female, she didn’t lose out to any male when she lifted the smithing hammer. Also, she had never slacked off before. Her clothes would be drenched with her sweat every day after her work.

  Honestly speaking, a girl that was willing to endure such bitter hardships was truly a good match for any guy. If it wasn’t for he background being too humble and her immoral parents, the blacksmith would want to have her as a daughter-in-law. “Ai, what a pity!’ The blacksmith sighed. Ying Baiwu’s family had dragged her down. Since he had nothing much that he could give the girl, he bought her some beef and cured meat as a sign of gratitude for her help.

  “Mother!”

  Ying Baiwu pushed her house door open and saw her mother sitting in the courtyard. Because they wanted to save money, they didn’t buy oil for the lamp. Thus, her mother was doing embroidery work under the moonlight. Ying Baiwu’s heart couldn’t help but ache when she saw this.

  “Wu’er, you came back?”

  This was a haggard-looking woman. Her body was skinny and she was almost skin and bones. Many years ago when she was young, she was known as the queen of flowers and her beauty was famous through Jiangnan. Even if one wanted to listen to her playing some music, they had to pay quite a few thousand taels of silver.

  “Mother, how many times have I told you. Since your body is unwell, you should stop doing these jobs. I will do my best to earn money!”

  Ying Baiwu took away the needle and threads and began to show off a little. “Look, we have beef today!”

  “Ai, your mother is useless. You are already 13 and should enter a school. But I’m unable to afford the school fees.”

  Seeing her sensible daughter being so busy and had a fatigued look on her face, Mother Ying felt an ache in her heart due to sorrow. Her tears directly flowed.

  “What’s the point of going to school? Even if I don’t go to school, I will still be more impressive compared to those who do!”

  Ying Baiwu’s lips twitched. She depended on her own hard work and succeeded in breaking through to the body-refinement realm without guidance from anyone.

  However, she had to work daily to earn money and thus had insufficient time for cultivation. It resulted in her stuck at the second level of the body-refinement realm.

  “Your life shouldn’t be like this!”

  Mother Ying looked at her daughter and sighed.

  “No matter how my life is, as long as I can be together with mother, I will be the most blessed and fortunate child that has ever existed!”

  Ying Baiwu lifted her head and smiled at her mother.

  The poignant moonlight was like water, cascading down on the girl’s body. The atmosphere now was almost poetic and like a portrait. But a moment later, this heart-warming and tranquil scene was destroyed.

  Bang!

  Ying Tie who smelled of alcohol kicked the door open. When he saw that Ying Baiwu was home, he didn’t say anything else and rushed to her side. He then took up the fireplace poker and proceeded to shower down blows on her.

  “Lowly girl, I told you to work properly. Why did you have to offend Yang Cai?”

  Ying Tie scolded, he even kicked out as he panted. “He was drunk and wanted to rape me!’ Ying Baiwu covered her head and screamed.

  Upon hearing this, Ying Tie started. Mother Ying trembled as her tears instantly flowed down her face.

  “Lowly girl, why didn’t you take the chance to climb into his bed? It was such a good opportunity, but you have wasted it.”

  Ying Tie had a resentful look on his face as though his daughter had failed to meet his expectations. When he thought of the slaps he had endured this afternoon, he exerted 30% more force as he wielded the fireplace poker.

  “Stop hitting her!” Mother Ying rushed over and blocked Ying Tie.

  “Scram, bitch!”

  Ying Tie directly slapped his wife, causing her to tumble to the ground. When Ying Baiwu saw this scene, she who was passively enduring the beating suddenly rammed her body toward Ying Tie. “Don’t hit my mother!”
