The moonlight shone into the bedroom, casting a silver glow.

  Sun Mo sat on the bed and looked at the five tattered maps in front of him. The content was blurry and he couldn’t discern them.

  “Congratulations host, you’ve collected all five of the tattered maps. Would you like to combine them into a map of darkness?”

  Hearing the system’s notification, Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid to be told that there were repetitive copies of the same one. He’d feel upset then.

  After all, to an unlucky guy, there wasn’t anything worse, only the worst!

  Thankfully, Sun Mo wasn’t a complete gone case.

  “Combine!”

  As Sun Mo said this, the five tattered maps suddenly glowed in green light and floated. They then gathered together and abruptly burst out in a brilliant glow.

  “F*ck!”

  Sun Mo cursed and quickly shut his eyes, turning his head away. This f*cking strong light is comparable to the light released by an electric welder. It was really blinding.

  Not only the eyes. Even the skin on his face had a scorching feeling. Thankfully, it disappeared very quickly, sustaining less than a second.

  Ding!

  “Congratulations, you’ve received one of the maps of darkness—Greenhaze Forest.”

  “The Greenhaze Forest is located in the Darkness Continent. It is a virgin land that hasn’t been excavated by the people from the nine provinces. Therefore, this place is filled with treasures!”

  “Brave young man, go excavate the wealth that belongs to you!”

  The system congratulated, still in its emotionless tone as if it was just reading things from the book.

  The glow on the map disappeared and it landed on the bed.

  “That’s it?”

  Sun Mo was stunned.

  “What else do you want?”

  The system was baffled.

  “Introduction. Isn’t this too simple? Why is it called the Greenhaze Forest? Or maybe, where exactly it is in the Darkness Continent?”

  Sun Mo continued to ask.

  “Host, I’m a support system that helps you to become an absolute great teacher. I’m not a nanny. Please rely on your own capabilities and don’t think of relying on me for everything you do, okay?”

  The system reproached.

  “.……”

  Sun Mo felt like cursing out.

  “I heard that amongst humans, some of them still rely on their parents for a living. Please do not become someone like that! That’d be too embarrassing!”

  The system advised.

  “Quickly kneel and take your leave!”

  Sun Mo didn’t wish to talk to the system anymore. He even wanted to beat it up.

  The name Greenhaze Forest should be related to the forest. He just had no idea where it was located.

  Sun Mo looked at the map and activated the Divine Sight.

  “One map that records a certain domain in the Darkness Continent. The material is an unknown beast hide. As a unique dye has been used, there’s no need to worry about it being washed when soaked in water. However, it is scared of fire. Please take care of it properly.”

  It was extremely simple data, the same as if there wasn’t any.

  “I know that it isn’t that easy for an unlucky guy to strike it rich!”

  Sun Mo felt upset.

  The map was about one meter in length and half a meter in width. It felt quite good to the touch, just like those top-notch leather coats.

  The content labeled on it included various routes, monsters, and terrains. Even the distribution of water resources was very detailed. There were also seven treasure chests located in different positions.

  Out of these treasure chests, there was one diamond-shaped one, one golden one, three bronze ones, and two black-iron ones.

  “The treasure chests represent the treasures here, and their colors represent the value of the treasures?”

  Sun Mo asked.

  The system didn’t give a reply.

  Sun Mo looked at this map of darkness, feeling some happiness, but still mostly helplessness.

  Sun Mo had spent a big half of the year gathering the five tattered maps, only managing to gather them all after opening many chests.

  This was definitely something good. Although he didn’t study geography, he felt that this map wouldn’t lose out to a military-used map. Even the altitude and monsters’ locations were labeled. However, Sun Mo had no idea where this Greenhaze Forest was at.

  This meant that even if there was an astonishing treasure here, he couldn’t take it out.

  “What a trap!”

  Sun Mo sighed and put the map of darkness away. He then lay down to sleep. However, he couldn’t manage to sleep, and he got up to head to the old Headmaster’s private library.

  “I hope that I can find some leads!”

  Sun Mo prayed. ……

  Li Ziqi usually wouldn’t stay in the Central Province Academy’s student dorm. One reason was that it wasn’t safe. Another was that if she didn’t go home, it’d attract her aunt’s attention.

  The little sunny egg knew that Sun Mo was very talented, but her aunt didn’t. After all, her teacher didn’t even have a single star. Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, she could only keep it a secret from her aunt for the time being.

  As for the guards, Li Ziqi had given them the order to not leak news of this. If any of them were to dare to speak of this matter recklessly, they’d be given serious punishment. However, after this 1-star examination, the little sunny egg wouldn’t have to worry anymore.

  She was certain that given Sun Mo’s capabilities, he’d definitely be able to become a great teacher.

  “If only Teacher Sun could rise to 3-stars in a year.”

  Li Ziqi mumbled and was about to greet her aunt when she heard an amicable voice that she hadn’t heard of for a very long time.

  “Cousin!”

  Qi Siyuan ran over happily.

  “Cousin?”

  Li Ziqi was stunned. A smile then beamed on her innocent-looking face. “You’re back? How have your studies been for the past year?”

  “If you didn’t ask about my results, we could still be good siblings!”

  Qi Siyuan felt gloomy.

  Li Ziqi covered her mouth and smiled. She knew that her cousin’s aptitude was very good. After all, he had relied on his own capabilities and not the reputation of his family to enter the Skyraise Academy.

  “I’ll go greet aunt first and then we’ll talk overnight!”

  Amongst the siblings, Li Ziqi and Qi Siyuan had the closest relationship.

  Not long later, the two of them sat in the garden of their backyard. All sorts of local specialties that Qi Siyuan had brought back from Jing Province were placed on the stone table.

  “Give them a try. These are new pastries that have just been released this year from Suji Bakery. I got their chefs to make them personally!”

  Qi Siyuan was doing his best to please Li Ziqi.

  “Thank you, Cousin!”

  Li Ziqi smiled sweetly.

  The two chatted over tea and the atmosphere was very good. A short moment later, Qi Siyuan hesitated before asking the question.

  “Cousin, what is with that Sun Mo?”

  The amicable atmosphere was like the warm temperature in a sunny spring. However, as Qi Siyuan said this, it felt as if a chilling wind had swept by, making everything freezing cold.

  “You went to look for Teacher?”

  Li Ziqi shot up abruptly, her countenance changing and turning cold. She knew that her cousin was very concerned about her and thus would definitely go look for Sun Mo to get him to absolve their teacher-student relationship.

  “I……”

  After seeing his cousin’s over-agitated reaction, Qi Siyuan knew that he had underestimated Sun Mo’s influence in her heart.

  “Cousin, you suffered, right?”

  Li Ziqi had panicked out of worry and then calmed down. She couldn’t help but smile.

  “Why do you say that?”

  Qi Siyuan rolled his eyes. (Am I that inferior to that Teacher Sun in your heart?)

  “Teacher is very amazing!”

  When Li Ziqi said this, her big eyes were filled with admiration. Qi Siyuan was annoyed when he heard this.

  “Aren’t you overestimating him too much?”

  Qi Siyuan pouted.

  “Anyway, in my heart, Teacher is the most amazing teacher in this world!”

  Li Ziqi pouted and threw a small tantrum.

  “Even my mother wouldn’t agree, let alone Uncle. Hence, I might as well take care of it right now. Once it is exposed, it’ll be harmful to him!”

  Qi Siyuan persuaded his cousin.

  Once the news of this was exposed, his uncle would try to control the negative influence to the smallest perimeters. He’d definitely make Sun Mo disappear from this world.

  “I know, but I hope that you can help me keep it a secret!”

  Li Ziqi looked at Qi Siyuan. “Cousin, don’t tell aunt about this matter first. Can you help me to keep it a secret for half a year?”

  “What use would half a year be?”

  Qi Siyuan was speechless. “Is he going to become a 7-star great teacher in half a year?”

  In his uncle’s heart, Li Ziqi’s teacher must at least be a 7-star one.

  “7-star is too difficult and needs time. But 2-star will definitely not be a problem!”

  Li Ziqi chuckled.

  “2-star?”

  Qi Siyuan was stunned and he looked at Li Ziqi in surprise. “Aren’t you being too confident about him? I went to find out about him, and that guy isn’t even a 1-star great teacher!

  “He’ll be one next year in spring. Then, in three months, he’ll clinch the title of a 2-star great teacher!”

  Li Ziqi firmly believed. “The only thing holding Teacher back now is time. That’s why I’m asking you to keep it a secret. Teacher might become a 3-star great teacher in autumn next year.”

  “Your boasting is getting more and more far-fetched!”

  Qi Siyuan let out a tsk. If Sun Mo was a 3-star great teacher, then he’d be an honored guest at the Prince Consort Manor because it’d be a tremendous leap from 2-star to 3-star.

  To put things simply, as the examination for the 3-star great teacher was very difficult, this was why this title was extremely valuable.

  “I’m not boasting. Teacher has already comprehended seven great teacher halos and grasped three secondary occupations. Moreover, he is already at the divine force realm. He just needs to comprehend two more halos to be able to participate in the 3-star great teacher exam.”

  Li Ziqi was very confident.

  She hadn’t seen Sun Mo using Model Teacher and thus had no idea that Sun Mo’s great teacher halo had increased to a terrifying eight.

  “What?”

  Qi Siyuan thought that he had misheard. “What did you say?”

  Li Ziqi repeated it again.

  “Impossible!”

  Qi Siyuan cried out loud and even jumped up from the stool. His voice was so sharp as if a big burly guy had thrust a steel rod into his butt hole.

  “Why is it not possible?”

  Li Ziqi frowned, not liking how her cousin was doubting Sun Mo.

  “That Sun Mo is 20 years old this year. You’re telling me that he has comprehended seven great teacher halos?”

  Qi Siyuan smirked. “You think that great teacher halos are Chinese cabbages and can be easily bought in the market? Based on the official data released by the Saint Gate, the average time taken for a great teacher to comprehend a great teacher halo is two years. It then becomes increasingly difficult thereafter. Those rare halos might even take three years or longer.”

  “Teacher is a genius!”

  Li Ziqi retorted.

  “The Skyraise Academy is considered a top-notch famous school in the nine provinces, right? I’ve only seen only one new teacher who is this amazing in school. Do you know who that is? One of the Skyraise Academy’s headmaster successors! How amazing must he be to be able to receive such recognition?”

  Qi Siyuan’s tone turned solemn. “Tell me right now. That Sun Mo has such standards?”

  “It’s Teacher Sun. If you were to call his name outright again, I’m going to hate you!”

  Li Ziqi was angry.

  “Alright! Alright! I’ll call him Teacher Sun!” Qi Siyuan pleaded, “Ziqi, I admit that there are geniuses in this world. Teacher Sun is also a genius. However, he isn’t an unrivaled genius. Therefore, it’s impossible for him to rise by three stars in a year!”

  “And three expert-grade secondary occupations…… This isn’t something that can be brought up easily. They require a tremendous amount of effort to learn. Sun Mo is 20 years old. It’d probably take a few years just to finish reading the books for these three subjects!”

  Qi Siyuan felt that Li Ziqi might have been deceived by Sun Mo.

  “That’s why Teacher Sun is an unrivaled genius!”

  Li Ziqi retorted.

  “Alright, then how do you explain the divine force realm? My god, I’m considered a genius as well, right? I work hard too, right? But someone who cultivates daily like me is only at the spirit-refinement realm and has opened over 30 acupoints. I’ve not even touched the doors of the blood-ignition realm. However, you’re telling me that the 20-year-old Sun Mo is at the divine force realm?”

  Qi Siyuan picked up an apple and took a bite. “You think cultivation is like eating fruits? It’s impossible to become a fatty with a single bite!”

  “To be honest, I feel that comparing Teacher Sun against you is a sort of humiliation!”

  Li Ziqi chuckled.

  “I can’t be bothered to debate with you!”

  Qi Siyuan was pondering how he could convince his cousin.

  “I’m not going to debate with you either. Anyway, Teacher is at the divine force realm. I saw it with my own eyes. He’s at the very top even in the ‘D’ Grade league tournament test!”

  Li Ziqi was very calm. (You guys don’t know how good Teacher is, so I won’t hold this up against you guys.)

  “Cough cough!”

  Qi Siyuan choked and coughed a few times. Only after spurting out the apple piece did he look at Li Ziqi in astonishment. “You saw it?”

  “That’s right. It’s not as if there’s a way to fake it.”

  Li Ziqi didn’t wish to discuss this topic anymore. “I’ll just ask you one thing. Will you help me to keep it a secret?”

  “If he can rise by three stars in one year, forget it, this is asking for too much. If he can consecutively pass the 1-star examination in spring and the 2-star examination in summer, I’ll help you to keep it a secret!”

  Qi Siyuan looked at Li Ziqi solemnly. “If he can’t do that, then you can’t stop me from taking action anymore!”

  “Alright!”

  Li Ziqi smiled and pinched up a small piece of pastry, taking a small bite leisurely. “I’m telling you, you’ll definitely lose!”

  “Ziqi, it’s not a good habit to be arrogant!”

  Qi Siyuan spoke in a preaching manner that a senior would do.

  “Teacher will definitely not have any problem with the 1-star great teacher exam. He has met all the rigid requirements. The remaining thing is just on whether his students can go up the Greencloud Rankings. I’m telling you that this will be a piece of cake!”

  Li Ziqi was very confident.

  “Relying on you?”

  Qi Siyuan chuckled.

  “It might be a little tricky for me, but my younger martial siblings will have no problem with that.” Li Ziqi assessed Qi Siyuan. “Cousin, I’m not trying to deal you a blow, but give them a year, they’d definitely be able to crush you then!”

  “That Teacher Sun has other students?”

  Qi Siyuan frowned.

  “Of course. Many students want to acknowledge Teacher Sun as their teacher, but he isn’t taking them in!”

  As the eldest martial sister, Li Ziqi was the first to discover Sun Mo’s talent and potential. Therefore, she felt very proud of her judgment.

  “Pardon me for being direct. What can he teach you guys?” Qi Siyuan pouted. “Ziqi, shall we have a sparring?”

  “You understand that I have poor motor skills, but you still want to spar against me?”

  Li Ziqi was angry. She picked up a fruit and smashed it at Qi Siyuan.

  “So you haven’t learned anything at all?”

  Qi Siyuan frowned. It seemed that there was even more reason to absolve this teacher-student relationship.

  “I’m sorry to disappoint you. I’ve learned a lot of things!”

  Li Ziqi was very proud.

  “Such as?”

  Qi Siyuan had just finished his question when a golden halo suddenly erupted on Li Ziqi. It almost radiated half the garden.

  “F…… F*ck!”

  Qi Siyuan cursed, looking very stunned.

  Chapter 431: Being Able to Meet Sun Mo Is Truly My Good Fortune!

  “A great teacher halo? This absolutely must be one, right? But why are you so proficient in this?”

  Qi Siyuan’s brain crashed immediately. It was like he was looking at a monkey that not only stole his wallet but even pointed a middle finger at him and scolded him for being poor.

  This was too incredible.

  “Why can’t I know it?”

  Li Ziqi intentionally lifted her beautiful eyebrows as she smiled calmly.

  “How old are you?”

  Qi Siyuan blurted out. His cousin was only 13 and just joined a school. Yet, she had comprehended a great teacher halo?

  (Sorry, even if I see it personally, I still don’t dare to believe it! If I bragged about this to my fellow friends, they would surely scold me for being retarded. This is simply too unbelievable.)

  “13 years old!”

  Li Ziqi ate a small grape. It was quite sour, so she couldn’t help but make a sound.

  “Do you know what this means? If I told the headmaster, he would surely rush here immediately to poach you over to the Skyraise Academy!”

  Qi Siyuan was shocked and filled with envy.

  “Hehe!”

  Li Ziqi naturally knew, but she wouldn’t go anywhere. She only wanted to stay by her teacher’s side forever.

  “When did you comprehend this great teacher halo?”

  Qi Siyuan asked as his eyes shone brightly. The thought of bringing Li Ziqi to the Skyraise Academy solidified in his mind.

  He knew that his cousin was very proud and didn’t wish to attend the Skyraise Academy with the status of a princess from Tang Country. However, it was fine now. Just by comprehending a great teacher halo at such an age, headmasters would fight with each other to recruit her.

  “About four months plus ago!”

  Li Ziqi thought of that night in the Wind King Canyon. She remembered every single sentence spoken by her teacher.

  “What halo is that?”

  Qi Siyuan was curious.

  “Retentive Memory!”

  After Li Ziqi spoke, Qi Siyuan drew in a breath of cold air. She then immediately ran to the study and casually flipped through a book. After speed reading for over ten pages, she closed the book and started to recite the content.

  She managed to smoothly recite every single thing without missing a word.

  “This is just too impressive!”

  Qi Siyuan sighed as he stared at his cousin. His gaze heated up. “Cousin, you will absolutely become a great teacher that all students dream about becoming!”

  “Thank you for your praise!”

  Li Ziqi smiled reservedly.

  She naturally knew this.

  The comprehension of a great teacher halo didn’t solely depend on luck. There were rules to be adhered to. The more a great teacher used their great teacher halo, the more familiar and proficient they would be with it. Also, the probability of their student comprehending it would be higher.

  Encyclopedic Knowledge was a very common great teacher halo.

  Why was this so?

  As long as one was a great teacher, they would have encountered such a focused state of studying. However, it was too hard to truly have a photographic memory. There might not even be one among ten thousand people, hence, this great teacher halo ‘Retentive Memory’ was very rare.

  Even half of the 7-star great teachers hadn’t comprehended this. Yet, Li Ziqi managed to achieve it when she was 13.

  “No, I cannot allow you to waste your talent. I have to report this to my headmaster!”

  Qi Siyuan stood up in agitation and took a walk in the back garden.

  If one wanted to become a teacher, there was an obstacle they had to pass no matter what. And that was they must have comprehended the self-taught halo. How difficult was that?

  You had to be widely learned!

  You had to have intelligence!

  Also, you must have a trace of impulse in you that made you want to educate others.

  These were the findings summed up by the Saint Gate. However, findings were findings, it didn’t mean if you followed it exactly, you would be able to comprehend the self-taught halo.

  After comprehending the self-thought halo, it was still not enough for you to become a teacher. You had to automatically comprehend another great teacher halo. If you couldn’t do so in the two years after you graduated, it meant that there was no more hope for you.

  Like the saying, ‘you can figure out a person’s future from his childhood’, if they struggled so badly just to comprehend a self-taught halo, their future achievements would be limited.

  On the other hand, if they could easily comprehend the self-taught halo at a young age, it meant that they were a genius.

  As for Li Ziqi, she was a genius among geniuses.

  “I will definitely not allow you to waste your talent!”

  Qi Siyuan made a decision.

  “How many times have I said it? I won’t leave.”

  Li Ziqi felt annoyed.

  “Because of your teacher?”

  Qi Siyuan counter-asked.

  “Yup!”

  Li Ziqi nodded with certainty. It wasn’t that she wouldn’t leave the Central Province Academy, but she would go wherever her teacher went!

  “Let me tell you. It was my teacher’s golden words, his priceless advice, that made me see things in a new light, allowing me to become a genius in the eyes of everyone. If it wasn’t for him, who knows if I would be able to comprehend the self-taught halo in this lifetime of mine!”

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Li Ziqi +500. Reverence (17,161/100,000).

  Qi Siyuan fell silent. He had already guessed this, but even after hearing his cousin personally saying it, he was still shocked and felt very reluctant.

  “It might be a coincidence?”

  “I even know saint-tier cultivation arts!”

  Li Ziqi smiled faintly. “It was Teacher who taught them to me!”

  “Huh?”

  Qi Siyuan’s pitch became high. (I must have heard it wrongly, yup, I must have heard it wrongly. Even a fool wouldn’t hand over a saint-tier cultivation art to others! What a joke, saint-tier cultivation arts aren’t so cheap!)

  “He taught three to me!”

  Li Ziqi stretched out three fair and dainty fingers, waving them before her cousin.

  “Impossible!”

  Qi Siyuan called out, “Even if that Sun……Teacher Sun is fond of you, how did he get three saint-tier cultivation arts?”

  “You are from the Skyraise Academy, right?”

  Li Ziqi changed the topic.

  “Yes!”

  Qi Siyuan nodded.

  “Is your school’s ultimate art the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art?”

  The little sunny egg smiled mischievously.

  “Is there anyone in the Nine Provinces who doesn’t know of this?”

  Qi Siyuan had a face filled with confidence. As the number one school in the nine provinces, everyone in the world knew that the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art was the saint-tier cultivation art each generation of headmaster had to master.

  A faint smile appeared on Li Ziqi’s face.

  “What are you laughing at?”

  Qi Siyuan frowned, feeling that his cousin was concealing something from him.

  “Nothing much!” Li Ziqi teased, “Do you know it?”

  “Your words are over-the-top now. Even the top geniuses in my school are not qualified to learn it. Only by having a huge contribution to the school and unyielding loyalty would one have the chance to learn it from the headmaster!”

  Qi Siyuan sighed. He wouldn’t have a chance to learn it his entire life.

  Li Ziqi stood up and walked to Qi Siyuan’s side, patting his shoulders in consolation.

  “Why do I feel that you are pitying me?”

  Qi Siyuan felt suspicious.

  “Yes, I’m pitying you!”

  After Li Ziqi spoke, she added another sentence in her heart. (Because I know the ultimate divine art of your school. I know the saint-tier cultivation art, the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art, that you wouldn’t be able to learn in your entire life. Sigh, with such an impressive teacher, it really means that I can do whatever I want to!)

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Li Ziqi +500. Reverence (17,661/100,000).

  Qi Siyuan’s lips trembled a little. He couldn’t control it and asked Li Ziqi with a face filled with curiosity, “He really taught you saint-tier cultivation arts?”

  “Even my junior sister learned them. You can go and spar against her!”

  Li Ziqi shrugged.

  Si~

  Qi Siyuan drew in a cold breath of air. He involuntarily blurted, “Is he a fool?”

  “Are you asking for a fight?”

  Li Ziqi hammered Qi Siyuan with a fist. “If you continue speaking nonsense, don’t blame my fist for punching your chest!

  “Speaking of which, because my junior martial sister is proficient in archery, she learned one more cultivation art than me, the Wind King Divine Art.”

  Li Ziqi took up another grape and tossed it into her mouth with a depressed look. “I’m really too weak. Even if I learn that powerful cultivation art, I still won’t be able to win against others.”

  “It’s truly a waste of heavenly material!”

  Qi Siyuan felt regret.

  Pak!

  A grape smashed into Qi Siyuan’s head. He turned his head and saw his cousin staring at him angrily.

  (You were the one who said that yourself, why did you hit me?)

  Qi Siyuan felt wronged.

  “Cousin, I was wrong!”

  Qi Siyuan hurriedly apologized, but his thoughts had wandered far away. There was an instant where he really wanted to take Sun Mo as his master.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Qi Siyuan +300. Respect (1,000/10,000)

  At this moment, although Qi Siyuan didn’t say it outright, he was deeply shocked by Sun Mo’s generosity. When he asked himself honestly, if he was a teacher, let alone a saint-tier cultivation art, he would even have to deeply observe a student for a very long time before deciding whether or not he wanted to teach a peerless heaven-tier cultivation art to that student.

  “Elder cousin, please help me keep this a secret. My teacher is really impressive. He just needs a year, and his name would be able to shake the great teacher world!”

  Li Ziqi pleaded.

  (You guys don’t understand how outstanding my teacher is, but this is fine. Time will prove everything. Also, he won’t need that long. One year is enough.)

  Qi Siyuan could see a deep sense of worship in the eyes of his younger cousin.

  Being able to get a girl to trust and worship you so much……as a guy, you should have no regrets in this life!

  “Alright!”

  Qi Siyuan agreed.

  “I always knew that cousin treats me the best!” Li Ziqi smiled sweetly. She peeled a grape and passed it to Qi Siyuan. “There, a reward for you.”

  The date of the 1-star great teacher examination was very near now, so the little sunny egg didn’t want Sun Mo to be disturbed as it might affect his performance.

  “Hehe!”

  Qi Siyuan ate the grape, feeling that it was very sweet.

  “Alright, what happened today? Why don’t you tell me about it!”

  Li Ziqi blinked. Her teacher must have used his outstandingness to convince affluent second generations like her cousins. It was so satisfying just by thinking about it.

  (Aiya, what a pity I didn’t get to witness it.)

  Qi Siyuan told her everything honestly.

  After hearing the rood Bian Yuanshan being taught a lesson by Ignorant and Incompetent, as well as her teacher using the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands to help Xu Rui break through and rebuild her goal in life, Li Ziqi was in high spirits.

  “As expected, my teacher is awesome!”

  Li Ziqi happily hummed a little tune. But after hearing Sun Mo’s words to Qi Siyuan, her expression changed.

  “Have you looked for the famous Doctor Cai yet?”

  The little sunny egg asked in alarm. Doctor Cai was extremely famous in Jinling. He was a doctor the Eldest Princess’s family would consult specifically.

  “I haven’t done so yet!”

  It was too late and Qi Siyuan was also waiting for Li Ziqi to return, hence, he hadn’t looked for Doctor Cai to inspect his body.

  “Do you want to die?”

  Li Ziqi scolded her cousin. She was worried as well. “My teacher’s God Hands would definitely not be wrong. If he says that you have a problem, it means that you really have a problem. Don’t delay anymore, go now. Quickly go and look for Doctor Cai and ask him to do a check up on you!”

  Four hours later, Doctor Cai said his diagnosis with a heavy expression, “The little prince is really poisoned. If I didn’t do a thorough check, this matter would really not be discovered!”

  “Can it be cured?”

  Qi Siyuan continued to ask.

  Doctor Cai fell silent.

  “So, can it be cured or not? Can’t you just let me know the answer?”

  Qi Siyuan also grew anxious.

  “Little prince, I’ve never seen your symptoms before. Hence, I will need some time to make a definite diagnosis and do some experiments before I can understand what medicine I should use!”

  Doctor Cai explained with an unsightly look on his face.

  “This means that you have no solution for it?”

  After Qi Siyuan spoke, he recalled the casual expression that Sun Mo had when he dispelled the poison for him that morning.

  It seemed that he was really extremely lucky to have met Sun Mo, or he would still be clueless when he was disabled.

  A bout of lingering fear surfaced in Qi Siyuan’s heart, but this became rejoice after that.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Qi Siyuan +500. Respect (1,500/10,000).

  Chapter 432: The Title of Spirit Rune Grandmaster, obtained!

  Qi Siyuan was still deep in shock all the while until he returned home.

  He could choose not to trust Sun Mo, but he had no way not to trust Doctor Cai. Ever since he was born until now, Doctor Cai had been the one treating him every time he was sick.

  Qi Siyuan knew how impressive this doctor was. But now, even Doctor Cai wasn’t able to identify what he was poisoned with.

  From this, one could deduce how impressive Sun Mo was.

  “Each profession has its own specialties. Doctor Cai is someone that treats illnesses to save people, and he isn’t someone who researches poison.”

  Li Ziqi spoke a sentence of fairness.

  “It’s not the same!”

  Qi Siyuan shook his head. “From your words, that Teacher Sun Mo also isn’t a poison researcher, yet after he touched my body, he could diagnose that I’ve been poisoned. I……isn’t this too magical?”

  “How can Doctor Cai be compared to my teacher?”

  Li Ziqi spoke in contempt.

  “.……”

  Qi Siyuan was immediately speechless. (I know you worship your teacher, but I didn’t expect you to worship him to such an extent.)

  Doctor Cai was one of the top few famous doctors in Jinling, but from the tone of his cousin, it was as though Doctor Cai couldn’t even be compared to a hair on Sun Mo’s head.

  (Earlier when you said that sentence of fairness, you didn’t mean to include Sun Mo. When Sun Mo is included, Doctor Cai is nothing but trash.)

  “Cousin, you are really in luck this time around and met my teacher in time, letting you know early that you have been poisoned. If this was delayed for two more years, you would be disabled by then.”

  Li Ziqi felt a lingering fear. This Li Yue was truly too vicious.

  “Yeah!”

  Qi Siyuan also felt regret now. (If I didn’t suffer this sinister move of Li Yue, given my aptitude, how great would my strength have improved in this one year plus?)

  “Oh ya, tell me more about your teacher. Especially about those saint-tier cultivation arts!”

  Qi Siyuan continued to ask, his heart was filled with curiosity.

  “That was in an aftern……”

  Li Ziqi immediately revealed a sweet smile as she sank into her blessed memories.

  “.……”

  Qi Siyuan looked at her expression and felt a little jealous. The moment he mentioned the name ‘Sun Mo’, his cousin would involuntarily become happy.

  T……This was like the appearance of a young girl falling in love!

  Very soon later, Qi Siyuan no longer cared about this because Sun Mo was truly outstanding. Even after ignoring her cousin’s exaggerated praise, Sun Mo was still so outstanding to the extent where one would tremble in fear.

  Qi Siyuan asked himself if he was in Sun Mo’s shoes and was in such a disadvantaged position at the start, it would have been not bad if he could become an official teacher a year later. However, Sun Mo actually became the most famous celebrity teacher in the Central Province Academy.

  “Super impressive!”

  Other than these words, there were no other words capable of describing the shock in Qi Siyuan’s heart.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Qi Siyuan +200. Respect (1,700/10,000).

  After a night of chatting, Qi Siyuan had a much more detailed understanding of Sun Mo. In addition to what he had witnessed personally yesterday, he decided to keep this a secret for his cousin.

  “If mother knew about this, she would surely beat me to death!”

  Qi Siyuan bitterly smiled.

  “Many thanks, cousin!”

  Li Ziqi took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Qi Siyuan’s mouth. “At most, I will feed you a few more pieces of cake!”

  “However, I also have a request. If Teacher Sun failed to pass the great teacher exam, I would immediately tell this to my mother!”

  Qi Siyuan also had no solution to this. Despite him already believing a lot in Sun Mo, her cousin taking on a personal teacher was something that concerned her entire life. This matter was exceptionally important.

  “Rising three star ranks within a year? If Sun Mo managed to do this, my headmaster would absolutely rush to the Central Province Academy immediately to poach him away!”

  Qi Siyuan’s lips twitched! ……

  Sun Mo was in the old headmaster’s private book-collection building and was looking for information about the Greenhaze Forest. He didn’t manage to find anything, but he kept receiving notifications of favorable impression points.

  Ding!

  “Congratulations, your prestige connection with Qi Siyuan has improved, breaking past the 1,000 mark in a single day. Special reward: 1x silver treasure chest.”

  Ding!

  “Congratulations, your prestige connections with Wei Ze and Cai Tan have both improved. You are hereby awarded 2 bronze treasure chests. You have a chance to merge them into a silver treasure chest, do you want to do so?”

  “Do it!”

  Sun Mo took his two silver treasure chests and returned to the villa. After he had a quick shower, Lu Zhiruo was already waiting in the living room, preparing to pay respect to him.

  She even brought a sumptuous breakfast along.

  “Teacher, I bought your favorite steamed dumplings!”

  The papaya girl even placed the bowl and chopsticks before him.

  Dong He stood at the side with a look of resentment on her face. She felt that her job had been snatched.

  Sun Mo patted Lu Zhiruo on her head!

  The papaya girl immediately closed her eyes and was like a kitten being patted by her owner. She revealed a look of enjoyment.

  Her teacher’s hands were very large. When she was being patted, she felt a strong sense of security.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from the papaya girl +50. Reverence (22,150/100,000).

  “.……”

  Sun Mo was speechless.

  The papaya girl and honest guy were simply like point-generators for him. They would contribute favorable impression points every now and then. If this continued, their prestige connections with him would soon reach the ‘worship’ level.

  “Alright, system. What would happen after the prestige connection reached ‘worship’?”

  Sun Mo suddenly thought of this matter.

  “Host’s level is too low. The answer is withheld!”

  The system’s mechanical voice was ice-cold.

  Sun Mo shrugged and no longer bothered with this question. “Open the chests then!”

  Three seconds later.

  Ding!

  “Congratulations, you have obtained 5 time emblems!”

  (Look, this is what the goddess of luck can do.)

  (Even the time emblems are x5.)

  “Sit at the side, let’s eat together!”

  Sun Mo waited for the papaya girl to sit on a chair to his left. As he ate his porridge, he instructed the system to continue with opening the next chest.

  The clicking sound rang out and after the dazzling silver light vanished, a gigantic book the size of 18 spread-out pieces of paper appeared. It was as thick as two encyclopedias combined.

  “Skill book?”

  Sun Mo’s eyes brightened as his heart was filled with joy. He involuntarily wanted to shout ‘my papaya girl’s luck status is number one in the world!’.

  Ding!

  “Congratulations, you have obtained a part of [High-tier Spirit Rune Knowledge Encyclopedia]. Proficiency level: elementary-grade.”

  Sun Mo immediately wanted to cheer wildly!

  “If you wish to learn this skill book, you have to upgrade your mid-tier spirit rune knowledge to the grandmaster-grade first.”

  The system reminded him.

  “I’m done with breakfast and will do some meditation in my room. Do not disturb me if there are no important matters.”

  Sun Mo rose from his seat.

  After returning to his bedroom, Sun Mo impatiently used the time emblems. Hence, he was clad in a bright green glow.

  The system’s notifications continuously rang out. His proficiency-level rose to expert and to grandmaster. A vast amount of information instantly flooded into Sun Mo’s mind.

  After he cast Encyclopedic Knowledge on himself, he started to rapidly memorize everything to deepen his impression of them. It was only until afternoon did he finish his learning session.

  After that, Sun Mo learned the skill book he had just obtained.

  For the 1-star great teacher exam, he had to be an expert in a secondary occupation.

  Sun Mo didn’t want to screw things up and wanted double insurance. Hence, he used all the remaining time emblems on his spirit rune knowledge.

  Ding!

  “Congratulations, your proficiency level of the high-tier spirit rune knowledge has risen to the ancestor-grade!”

  “Congratulations, in the system’s evaluation system, you obtained the title of a ‘spirit rune grandmaster’!”

  An unexpected incident occurred.

  “Spirit rune grandmaster?”

  (I actually obtained a title?) This caused Sun Mo to be very happy, but he still felt puzzled. “Shouldn’t it be spirit rune ancestor?”

  “Your mastery of high-tier spirit knowledge has reached the ancestor-grade. Let’s use mathematics as an example. It is like you have mastered maths in senior high school, and no questions could stump you. However, that’s not the case with maths at the university level. Only after you completely mastered it would you become a great ancestor!”

  The system explained.

  Bluntly speaking, it meant that in the domain of high-tier spirit rune knowledge, there was even more profound knowledge. Only after mastering that would one be able to get the ancestor title.

  What was an ancestor?

  They were people who could start their own sect. This also indicated that these great teachers had obtained exceptionally high attainments in a certain subject.

  In the study of spirit runes, this meant that they had the ability to create new spirit runes and come out with new theories to perfect everyone’s understanding of this subject.

  Ancestors were forever as rare as phoenix feathers and kirin’s horns.

  “So this is the case!”

  Sun Mo understood.

  “I have to remind you that at the grandmaster level, if you want to reach an even higher level of understanding, it would be very difficult. It’s already useless to depend solely on time emblems.”

  The system’s tone was extremely heavy.

  “I know this!”

  After all, Sun Mo was a teacher and he had a deep cognition of this.

  For all subjects, the higher one climbed, the lesser people there would be. They would usually be alone because it was simply too difficult. Take Einstein for an example. He stood alone at the peak of physics. There were no others capable of standing beside him.

  “Speaking of which, what’s my ranking in Jinling given my current standard of spirit rune knowledge?”

  Sun Mo was curious.

  “Ranked #10 in Jinling, ranked #21 in the Central Province, ranked #66 in Jiangnan!”

  After the system did some calculations, it revealed the answer.

  “I’m ranked so far behind?”

  Sun Mo felt his mood dipping. “This is so much lower than my expectations. Even in Jinling, I ranked at the last of the top ten.”

  “You should be content. Jinling is a major city in Jiangnan, and many grandmasters are staying here. Being able to be in the top ten is already not bad.”

  The system continued in disdain, “Don’t forget that you have only been researching spirit runes for about half a year. Some grandmasters have studied this for several decades.”

  Naturally, there was another thing that the system didn’t mention, and that was Sun Mo’s talent in the study of spirit runes. It would only be a matter of time for him to catch up to those people.

  “Very well. In that case, for spirit rune masters below 30, what is my ranking?”

  Sun Mo changed his question.

  “.……”

  The system didn’t want to reply and felt like beating someone up.

  “Why? Are you unable to compute it?”Sun Mo mocked, “Are you not omnipotent?”

  “#1 in Jinling!”

  The system’s voice was filled with a thick sense of reluctance.

  “What about in Central Province?”

  Sun Mo asked again.

  “#1.”

  Right now, the system no longer felt like beating someone. It felt like killing.

  “What about Jiangnan?”

  Sun Mo blinked his eyes.

  “Are you done or not?”

  The system couldn’t control anymore and roared

  “Haha!”

  Sun Mo was happy now. His thoughts were clear. ……

  On the second morning, Sun Mo went to take a look at the darkness illusion dojo. The base of it had already grown, and it was about half-foot tall. After observing it with Divine Sight, the data showed that the growth rate was very good. This made Sun Mo feel very bizarre. He felt like he was planting a type of plant.

  As expected of a secret treasure of darkness, it was mysterious and profound.

  During the afternoon, Sun Mo had intended to pay a visit to Zheng Qingfang. But in the end, Gu Xiuxun who went for an idle stroll on the streets suddenly came to look for him.

  “Liu Mubai is heading to Guangling today. I suggest we move out immediately.”

  Gu Xiuxun urged.

  Chapter 433: A Handsome Steed. Heading to Guangling with Lots of Money

  If a great teacher wanted to live well and achieve some feats to establish his foothold in the great teacher world, they not only needed to have genuine talent, but they also needed a huge social circle to build their network and develop their fame.

  For young and inexperienced people who were trying to start out, if a major character was aiding them, they would be able to take fewer detours. Also, those who passed the 1-star great teacher examination in the same batch could be claimed as your peers.

  The relationship between peers could be considered a closer one.

  Everyone was grinding in the great teacher world, so it was unknown when one might encounter difficult encounters. If one had more friends, they would have more options to choose from.

  Gu Xiuxun planned to head to Guangling earlier. Other than getting used to the testing ground and looking at the terrain, she also wanted to get acquainted with some people. If there was a chance to, they could also pay a visit to some major characters.

  Sun Mo didn’t like to do such a thing, but he knew that if one wanted to make a good living in society, one must not lack these social connections.

  No matter what, he was someone who had been bitten by society before, so he was no longer that naive. He promised Gu Xiuxun that they would set off in two days.

  After all, he still had some private matters he had to settle. ……

  “Why are you here?”

  Upon hearing Sun Mo came to pay a visit, Zheng Qingfang immediately rushed to the study.

  “I’m heading to Guangling to participate in the 1-star great teacher exam and won’t be back for at least three months. So, I came here to use the living blood technique on Uncle Zheng.”

  Sun Mo explained.

  “I’ve troubled you!”

  Zheng Qingfang felt very moved.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Zheng Qingfang +200. Respect (2,000/10,000).

  “Uncle Zheng, if you say this, you are treating me like an outsider.”

  After hearing the notification, Sun Mo knew that he didn’t come here for nothing. Zheng Qingfang was indeed someone who knew gratitude. He was helping Zheng Qingfang because this old man had an upright and honest character, not because of his status as a major character.

  “Hehe!”

  Zheng Qingfang chortled. He noted down this kindness in his heart instead of kept speaking about it. Hence, he didn’t thank Sun Mo and directly took out a wooden box.

  “Congratulations on obtaining the championship in this year’s newbie competition. You have led the Central Province Academy to ascend to the ‘C’ grade.”

  Zheng Qingfang looked at Sun Mo with admiration in his eyes.

  He had been very concerned with Sun Mo, hence, he had sent people out to get news and keep him updated on the league tournament. He knew everything about it and felt very regretful that he wasn’t able to personally witness Sun Mo’s glory.

  This was such a good young man. Sadly, he already had a marriage engagement or Zheng Qinfang would surely have thrown his granddaughter to Sun Mo. Any woman that married such a man would definitely have a life of good fortune.

  “Thanks.”

  Sun Mo wasn’t polite and accepted the wooden box calmly.

  “This isn’t some valuable treasure, just a Southern Lake Pearl. It would emit a weak smell and as long as you bring it along with you, no bugs or snakes would bother you. It can also help you to refresh and clear your mind, maintaining your mental state at its peak.”

  Zheng Qingfang casually introduced the origin of the pearl like he was giving some fruit from a roadside stall. However, when Sun Mo used Divine Sight to observe the pearl, he immediately understood how valuable this gift was.

  This pearl wasn’t a secret treasure, but it was considered very rare in the nine provinces. It came from the Southern Lake and had a very limited quantity. Hence, these pearls were used as royal tributes.

  Therefore, other than the royal clan, no one else was qualified enough to use it. Even if one had money, they wouldn’t be able to purchase it. If they did, it would mean that they had overstepped their authority and had to be beheaded.

  This pearl of Zheng Qingfang was bestowed onto him by the late emperor. Even among southern lake pearls, it was one of the very best in terms of quality.

  “Is this a royal tribute?” Sun Mo rejected, placing the box back. “This is too precious!”

  “You and I are like old friends since our first meeting and are good friends despite our difference in age. If you continue saying things like that, it would mean that you look down on me!”

  Zheng Qingfang frowned.

  “Alright then!”

  Sun Mo was helpless and could only take the item.

  “Actually, if we calculate it, I’m the one who has profited. After you used the living blood technique to dispel the poison for me, I can eat and sleep well every day. My body felt a lot better and I’ve stopped feeling dizzy. It wouldn’t be a problem for me to live three to four years longer.”

  Zheng Qingfang laughed uproariously. Who wouldn’t have a notebook in their hearts to remember debts of hatred and gratitude?

  For someone like Zheng Qingfang, a senior official, what rare things had he not seen before? No matter how important an object was, there was no way it could be more important than human talent.

  “The poison in your body has already settled in your blood vessels and marrows, so it’s very troublesome to expel it completely. I will give you a medical prescription later, and you have to remember to eat your medicine on time. Together with me using the living blood technique on you, you would recover completely in one or two years, and the poison should be fully expelled by then.”

  Sun Mo stated a longer duration. If there were some unexpected accidents, he would still have room to maneuver. However, Zheng Qingfang was stunned by it.

  “One, two years? That fast?”

  Zheng Qingfeng grew agitated.

  “Mn!”

  Sun Mo nodded with certainty.

  “It’s really very lucky that I’ve met you!”

  Zheng Qingfang surveyed Sun Mo. “By being able to live a few more years, I would be able to see more of your famous paintings. Sigh, if it wasn’t for me knowing that you are too busy, I really wish to force you to draw another one for me.”

  Sun Mo smiled lightly, he didn’t want to reply.

  “Oh yes, do you also understand the medical arts?”

  Zheng Qingfang suddenly thought of something. Sun Mo actually knew how to give a medical prescription?

  “I don’t know, but under a coincidence, I got to understand quite a few herbs on the Darkness Continent that have the effect of countering poison.”

  Sun Mo explained. ……

  Sun Mo used half an hour to massage Zheng Qingfang. However, Zheng Qingfang wanted him to stay for a meal no matter what. There was no solution to this. Hence, Sun Mo could only leave after lunch.

  “Xia He, do you feel regret now?”

  Seeing Xia He who came to remove the teacups, Zheng Qingfang asked.

  “This slave has no regret!”

  Although Xia He said this, only she knew how bitter her heart was feeling.

  She didn’t expect Sun Mo to be so outstanding.

  Once she thought about how Dong He was a follower of Sun Mo now, she suddenly wanted to see Sun Mo failing the 1-star great teacher examination.

  “At that time, I must pay a visit to Dong He!”

  Xia He decided to do so. ……

  Sun Mo summoned his six personal students. After instructing them to focus on cultivation and not stir up trouble, he went to look for An Xinhui to apply for leave.

  “I hope you will get number one!”

  When An Xinhui thought of how Sun Mo had to be away for three months, she suddenly felt a slight sense of reluctance in her heart.

  “Thank you!”

  Sun Mo turned and left.

  Seeing Sun Mo about to walk away even before saying more than five sentences, An Xinhui grew anxious. “Wait a moment!”

  “Is there anything more?”

  Sun Mo was puzzled.

  “C……close your eyes!”

  An Xinhui didn’t dare to look Sun Mo in the eye. She spoke in a low voice.

  “Why?”

  Sun Mo frowned.

  “Close your eyes first and I’ll tell you.”

  An Xinhui feigned calmness.

  Sun Mo shrugged and closed his eyes. After roughly about ten seconds, he felt a slight sensation of heat on his left cheek.

  (What the hell?)

  Sun Mo subconsciously touched his face. He opened his eyes and just so coincidentally saw An Xinhui’s beautiful face blushing. She was rapidly retreating.

  “Fool, she just kissed you!”

  The system was speechless. (As expected of a single dog, you didn’t even know that you got kissed.)

  Sun Mo fell silent.

  An Xinhui also didn’t know what to say. Hence, the atmosphere in the office froze.

  “Thanks!”

  After Sun Mo spoke, he turned to leave.

  “Stupid!”

  An Xinhui suddenly felt some disappointment. In fact, she had made preparations in her heart if Sun Mo rushed over and hugged her. But in the end, nothing happened.

  “You are really single because of your ‘strength’, right?”

  Even the system couldn’t bear to watch anymore. As expected, Sun Mo’s fate was to m*sturbate alone forever.

  If it was another man with Sun Mo’s looks, talents, and God Hands, he would have written ten ‘正’ characters on Jin Mujie’s buttocks.

  “Little Momo!”

  Before Sun Mo could walk far, An Xinhui ran out. “Take the namecards of these people. If something happens, you can pay a visit to these uncles!”

  Earlier, because she kissed Sun Mo, her emotions were in a mess and she forgot the important thing.

  “Thanks!”

  Sun Mo looked at the words written on the cards. Evidently, these words were written long ago, and it caused him to feel slightly moved.

  His childhood sweetheart still cared about him!

  One must know that An Xinhui had never sought help from these old headmasters despite suffering so much difficulty. However, for Sun Mo’s sake, she wrote out the names and contacts of her grandfather’s social connections.

  After all, things like favors would be gone once they were used.

  “I know you are stubborn and have an unyielding character. But now that you are heading out, you have to remember to try your best to tolerate things. When you return safely, I will go with you and right all the injustice you suffered!”

  An Xinhui persuaded him. She walked in front of Sun Mo and tidied his clothes for him.

  For a time, Sun Mo was in a daze. He had once fantasized about seeing a wife tidying his clothes every morning and listening to her words.

  It was a pity that he ended up as a single dog in his previous world!

  “What are you thinking about? Have you remembered all the things I told you?”

  An Xinhui grumbled.

  “Yes!”

  Sun Mo smiled lightly. “I shall crush the heads of whoever dares to offend me and let them know that people from the Central Province Academy are the strongest!”

  “You……”

  An Xinhui suddenly giggled. (Little Momo has really grown up, he even knows how to joke now.) ……

  On a sunny morning, Sun Mo rode a handsome steed and set off. Gu Xiuxun, Gao Ben, and Zhang Lan from his batch, as well as Qian Dun and Wang Chao who joined the school a year ago, traveled together with him as well.

  “Teacher Sun, you wouldn’t find that we are coming right?”

  Wang Chao’s face wasn’t as thick as Qian Dun’s. He felt trepidation and unease while on their way there.

  “Why would I feel so? By traveling together, we can take care of each other!”

  Sun Mo gave up the notion of riding Little Silver all the way to Guangling because he suddenly thought of something. Despite him having been in the Nine Provinces for half a year, he had never left Jinling City before.

  He might as well cherish this chance to take a good look at the local conditions and customs of the people of the Nine Provinces.

  The scenery in the surroundings as they journeyed was roughly the same as Sun Mo’s imaginations. The scenery was filled with an ancient air. There were wives in ancient clothes that bundled their hair up with jade hairpins, there were little young missus from different clans, and there were scholars with their large bags, traveling to the capital for the imperial examinations.

  Horse carriages were everywhere, and travelers could be seen all around too. This was especially so at the ferry terminals and relay stations for post horses. There were many people there.

  “Are these roadside stalls safe?”

  Sun Mo saw a tea stall set up in the grassy area at the roadside. The lady boss was actually quite charming and would occasionally smile mischievously at people passing by.

  “They are safe, but maybe the drinks might not be too clean!”

  Zhang Lan who had always been silent unexpectedly replied.

  “Are there something like fainting drugs here?”

  Sun Mo wanted to go over and order some tea, buy a few buns and a few small dishes while shouting, “Waiter, serve the wine!”

  However, this tea stall had no waiters, so he could only give up on this thought.

  “What are fainting drugs?”

  Qian Dun was curious. “From the sound of it, it doesn’t seem like something good?”

  “It’s a ‘weapon’ martial artists have to prepare whenever they journey through the pugilistic world!”

  Sun Mo laughed uproariously. He whipped his horse fiercely and said, “Let’s go. Do our best to reach Jaderise Town before night falls. When we arrive there, I’ll treat everyone to wine!”

  “Teacher Sun, do you dare to compete with me in horsemanship?”

  Gu Xiuxun tightened her legs on her mount and chased after him.
