Chapter 897: Detective Sun Mo
“What?”
Helian Xue’s countenance changed drastically. He had seen Sun Mo’s battle prowess and knew that Sun Mo was very strong. He had no idea how he had offended Sun Mo, so he rapidly backed off while thinking about this, going all out to block the attack.
Pitting attacks against attacks?
He didn’t dare to think of this at all.
However, the fist brushed past him, hammering into the shoulder of Tuoba Cao who was next to him,
Bang!
Tuoba Cao stumbled back, his shoulder bone shattering with a crack.
“Teacher Sun, what are you doing?”
Tuoba Cao was shocked.
Clank!
Sun Mo drew out Evil Vanquisher, struck out Eighteen Words Order, and went all out in attacking.
“What’s going on?”
“Is there something wrong with this teacher?”
“Should we help?”
The students discussed amongst themselves, not knowing what they should do. Why did they suddenly start fighting?
Although Sun Mo and Tuoba Cao were both intern teachers, their popularity was different. Everyone was more inclined toward Sun Mo.
“Teacher Sun, what is the reason for this?”
Duanmu Li asked.
After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Ji took a quick step forward and joined the battle. He had absolute trust in Sun Mo’s wisdom and character. Therefore, there must be a problem with Tuoba Cao for Sun Mo to be attacking him.
Tuoba Cao was unable to win against Sun Mo alone, and with Jiang Ji coming in, he knew he had zero chance of survival. Hence, he dashed toward a warhorse, wanting to escape, but Sun Mo slashed off his left leg together with the horse.
“Ahh!”
Tuoba Cao let out a loud cry, grabbing onto his broken leg and glaring at Sun Mo with vengeance.
“When did you join the Dark Dawn?”
Sun Mo asked, “Is the reason you guys suddenly assaulted the Dragon Subduing Academy only because of the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture, or do you have other objectives?
“Other than the Four Symbols Starlord, are there any other Starlords joining in this operation?”
Sssss!
Hearing Sun Mo’s words, everyone gasped. The girls even grabbed onto their weapons tightly, staring at Tuoba Cao.
“What’s your basis on saying that I’m a spy?”
Tuoba Cao bellowed, “If I’m misunderstood, what’s going to happen to my leg? Are you going to join it back for me?”
“Yes, I’ll join it back for you!”
Sun Mo nodded.
“Uhh!”
Everyone turned their heads and threw a glance at Sun Mo, thinking. (The food you had last night must have been good. You’ve drunk quite a lot, right? You even dare to boast of being able to join back a broken leg? Do you take others for a fool?)
“F*ck your mom!”
Tuoba Cao bellowed. This Sun Mo was really brutal. His leg had broken, so even if he were to survive, his life would be over.
“Teacher Sun, how did you discover that there’s a problem with him?”
Duanmu Li was curious.
“Helian Xue, the reason you and Tuoba Cao went to save Wanyan Mei when you saw the black-clothed men invading is because you guys wanted to do her a favor, right?”
Sun Mo turned his head.
“I understand it now.”
Jiang Ji was struck by a realization. “If it was to save the princess, the merit would have been achieved if one were to escape with her as soon as possible. However, just now, Tuoba Cao was saying that the warhorses were too tired and should get more rest. Wasn’t this an attempt to drag the time and wait for the star general to catch up?
“Tuoba Cao also answered enthusiastically when Princess Wanyan suggested going back to save the others. This isn’t consistent with his behavior of saving others because that’d subject the princess and himself in danger, making all his prior efforts go to waste.”
Helian Xue’s countenance was awkward because this was what he had been thinking. However, as a great teacher, he couldn’t possibly say that the lives of the other students weren’t worth anything, right?
Anyway, Sun Mo had acted as the bad guy, stopping Wanyan Mei.
“Can’t I show concern for the other students?”
Tuoba Cao retorted.
“Of course, you can!”
Sun Mo shrugged. “Therefore, it’s just a suspicion. I didn’t expose you right away but continued to quietly gather evidence.”
“Where’s the evidence?”
Tuoba Cao bellowed fiercely, “I also went all out to fight and protect the princess when that star general attacked. Your Highness, Teacher Duanmu, the two of you must do me justice!”
“Don’t be in a hurry to justify yourself. Listen to what I have to say. After you said that few more lines, I’ve been observing you. For example, when the others saw that the Four Symbols Starlord had come, everyone was extremely scared. However, you weren’t.”
“I’ve been brave since I was young. Is there a problem with that?”
Tuoba Cao’s voice was very loud, but everyone’s gazes had turned into disbelief.
The Four Symbols Starlord was a secondary saint. Anyone who faced such a magnate from the Dark Dawn would feel terrified from the depths of their bones. It wasn’t something that one could fight against just because they were brave.
“Then why were you surprised and disappointed when I exposed him, and after he was killed, you didn’t seem elated at all? Do you know how much your expressions stand out from the others?”
Sun Mo teased, “You’re really a failure as an undercover agent. If I’m not mistaken, your mission is just to lay low in the school and gather information. This should be the test for you to join the Dark Dawn. You are neither nurtured by the Dark Dawn nor are you an old member.”
“I didn’t expect that a dorm mate who had been living with me for half a year turns out to be a dark great teacher.”
Helian Xue was surprised and then felt some lingering fear.
Everyone had their judgmental skill, and Sun Mo’s evidence was already so obvious. Even if Tuoba Cao were to insist on his view, it was useless.
“Haha!”
Tuoba Cao suddenly laughed out loud. He then looked at Sun Mo, admitting to it with a proud expression. “That’s right! I’m a dark great teacher working under the Four Symbols Starlord!”
Everyone fell silent.
“What crime did you commit in the past?”
Jiang Ji asked.
Usually, dark great teachers were people who couldn’t continue surviving in the great teacher world and thus had no choice but to join the Dark Dawn.
“What crime? Don’t think of others so badly. The reason I joined the Dark Dawn is because I admire their ideology.”
Tuoba Cao stared at Sun Mo and then spoke in an indignant tone, “Why is it that all the top-notch cultivation arts in the world have to be monopolized by influential clans and famous schools?
“I’m a genius. If I had a chance to learn a saint-tier cultivation art, I’d definitely be able to rise to the top ten of the Great Teachers Hero Rankings, spreading my reputation across the world. But I don’t have the right to do that because I was born in a lower class and am a child born to a farmer’s wife.
“No matter how outstanding I am, I don’t have any chance of getting any saint-tier cultivation arts. Sun Mo, a lucky person like you will definitely not understand my pain.”
All the students didn’t feel much about this, but the great teachers’ countenances weren’t good. It was because this was an indisputable truth. The top-notch great teachers, famous schools, and various major powers kept on monopolizing the top-notch cultivation arts.
In Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, cultivation arts were battle prowess, and battle prowess was the most effective means of maintaining the authority, wealth, and statuses of those who were at the very top.
Sun Mo’s lips twitched. He understood Tuoba Cong’s thoughts. Tuoba Cong couldn’t see a way of rising in the great teacher world and thus turned to join the Dark Dawn.
Sigh!
In one’s lifetime, who wouldn’t want to live better?
Sun Mo sighed. In the modern world, even if he were to do his best, he’d probably only be able to reach the level of a year’s head. If he wished to earn more money, he’d have to make use of his free time to work as a private tutor.
“Which of you want to come and take care of this?”
Sun Mo didn’t wish to participate in this anymore.
“Let me do it!”
Helian Xue didn’t stand on ceremony. The Dark Dawn and Saint Gate were archenemies, and thus the Saint Gate had always put up rewards. As long as one could catch a dark great teacher, regardless if they were dead or alive, they’d be able to get quite a big reward.
“Sure.”
After saying that, Sun Mo urged everyone to get on their horses. “Everyone, hurry up!”
“Teacher Sun, hold on!”
Wanyan Mei called out and dashed up in front of Sun Mo.
Chapter 898: Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture, I’m Coming!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Ding!
Congratulations, you’ve received a total of +4,205 points.
Sun Mo’s performance amazed the students, making them have great awe and admiration for him.
Everyone was shocked by the Four Symbols Starlord’s attack. Not only the students, but even the teachers were no exception. Everyone was terrified.
However, Sun Mo had stood out without any fear. Through his probings, he had discovered that the Four Symbols Starlord was an impersonation by a star general and then killed him
This performance was quite outstanding.
Any other person would be very happy and could boast about this achievement for many years. However, in the entire process, Sun Mo still had the leeway to keep an eye on Tuoba Cao and uncover his identity as a traitor.
How horrifying were his observational skills toward small details!?
No!
This wasn’t all. His heart was also extremely strong, being able to withstand such tremendous pressure.
It could be said that Sun Mo had no flaws at all, with the exception of his looks.
The girls’ gazes uncontrollably landed on Xianyu Wei, feeling envy, jealousy, and also hatred toward her, wanting to strangle her.
Sigh!
(It is really good to be able to become Teacher Sun’s personal disciple.)
Wanyan Mei was also astonished. Moreover, she felt great lingering fear.
With a Dark Dawn spy by her side yet she still wanted to go back to school, this was no different from her putting on the lasso at the gibbet by herself.
“Teacher Sun, thank you!”
Wanyan Mei did a 90-degree bow.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Wanyan mei +1,000. Respect (2,509/10,000).
“I’m a teacher. It is my responsibility to protect you guys.”
Sun Mo chuckled, feeling a little disappointed. He thought that Wanyan Mei would want to acknowledge him as her teacher.
It seemed that he had thought too highly of himself.
That made sense. She was the daughter that the king of Jin Country doted on the most. Her status was extremely distinguished, so how could she acknowledge a teacher so easily?
However, if Wanyan Mei were to acknowledge Sun Mo as her teacher, there was a high chance that Sun Mo would agree.
There was no helping it. He was human too.
With Wanyan Mei’s status, looks, and talent, Sun Mo wouldn’t refuse her.
After all, who would complain about having too many genius personal disciples?
“Alright, let’s forget the crap talk and hurry up on our way.”
Although Sun Mo said this, he felt a lot more at ease.
With there being only one star general chasing after them, it verified that his guess was right. The Four Symbols Starlord had no spare time to deal with a princess personally.
Moreover, to get his hands on the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture, he had to leave enough manpower with him to deal with the retaliation from the Dragon Subduing Academy.
Therefore, when they continued their way, Sun Mo wasn’t in as much of a rush as before.
“Teacher is so amazing!”
Xianyu Wei looked at Sun Mo’s back view, her eyes gleaming and her chest puffing up in pride.
Mei Ziyu was princess-carried by Sun Mo on his horse. She couldn’t help but lean back and rest against him.
Sigh!
(Why do you have a fiancée?)
After fleeing for another hour and seeing a stretch of poplar forest, Sun Mo got the group to stop.
“Let’s set up camp here, but don’t make too big a fire. Let’s get some rest.”
After saying that, Sun Mo looked toward Helian Xue. “We’ll trouble you to keep watch tonight.”
“Leave it to me.”
Helian Xue patted his chest hard. He knew that it was useless for him to reject, and doing so would only cause others to have a bad impression of him. Moreover, if they were to start quarreling, everyone would probably side with Sun Mo.
Even Duanmu Li, who was a 5-star great teacher, didn’t have much of a say here.
Sun Mo had fought a few battles today and depleted a lot of spirit qi and stamina, thus feeling a little tired. He lay down by the campfire and quickly fell asleep.
Even though he had told Helian Xue to keep watch, he didn’t feel at ease and had arranged for the Holy Pharaoh to hide in the dark. ……
The moon was bright and the stars sparse. The night wind was very cold.
If they weren’t cultivators, they’d have frozen to death long ago.
Despite this, Sun Mo only slept for half an hour before he woke up from the cold.
Rubbing his stiffened face, Sun Mo suddenly frowned and looked toward the campsite.
“Where are Duanmu Li and the others? Did they go back to school?”
Sun Mo asked. He jumped up and immediately checked the temporary base.
The great teachers had all left, together with half of the female students.
Sun Mo was almost driven to death from frustration. They were really foolish!
When Mei Ziyu heard the commotion, she opened her eyes.
“Pharaoh, come out. How did you keep watch?” Sun Mo let out a low bellow. “Why didn’t you tell me that they were gone?”
“Since they want to court death, then leave them be.”
The Holy Pharaoh felt aggrieved. “Everyone has their own aspirations. You aren’t their father. What right do you have to decide for them?”
“.……”
Sun Mo glared at the scarab. (What you said makes a lot of sense and I’m unable to refute it.)
Wanyan Mei had encouraged everyone to return to the school with her.
She was still stuck with her thought that she was the Jin Country’s princess and mustn’t escape. Regardless if she could save the others, she should still show her stand of returning to the school.
At least, when other people mentioned this, she wouldn’t have brought dishonor to the royal family’s name.
Of course, the more important thing was that she wanted the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture.
Even though Wanyan Mei had a distinguished status, she still didn’t have the right to learn the school’s ultimate divine art. The Four Symbols Starlord’s attack was undoubtedly her best opportunity.
Why did those great teachers go crazy with her?
They might seem to be protecting her, but in their heart, they might also be hankering after this divine art.
Sun Mo had the same thoughts.
“Ziyu, I’ll need to trouble you to take care of these students. I’ll go back and take a look,” Sun Mo said in a soft voice.
“Teacher, I’ll go with you!” Xianyu Wei volunteered.
“Scram and go back to sleep,” Sun Mo lashed out.
“Wanyan Mei is so irritating. She’s making Teacher put himself in danger again!”
“Sigh, Teacher should just ignore them.”
“Teacher is so kind!”
The female students didn’t know what Sun Mo was really thinking, and they were feeling touched by how noble he was being. They contributed another wave of favorable impression points.
“Be careful!”
Mei Ziyu understood Sun Mo’s thoughts and thus didn’t stop him.
“En!”
There was no time to lose. Sun Mo got on Chasing Cloud and rushed back at great speed. When the temporary base was out of sight, he immediately called something in his mind.
“Little Silver!”
Not long later, a ball of white clouds came down from the sky, dragging a beautiful cloud tail behind it. It stopped quickly in front of Sun Mo.
Sun Mo jumped onto it and pointed to the front with his right hand.
“Let’s go!”
Hu!
Little Silver’s speed was extremely fast, causing Sun Mo’s black hair to be blown to the back by the night wind into a combed hairstyle. Moreover, he couldn’t open his eyes either.
“Slow down! Slow down!”
Sun Mo quickly stopped Little Silver. They would have to be traveling at 500 miles per hour, right? (Thankfully my body is strong enough. Otherwise, I’d be seriously injured from hyperemia.)
Even though Little Silver had slowed down its speed, it was still a speed that Chasing Cloud, a great stead, couldn’t catch up to. Very soon, Sun Mo arrived back in school.
It was pitch-black in the school and this caused Sun Mo’s plan of watching everything from the sky to fail.
There weren’t any sounds of battling anymore. This meant that the Four Symbols Starlord’s army had taken over the entire school.
Sun Mo jumped off the cloud and moved toward the Dragon Subduing Palace in the shadows of the walls, trees, and flowerbeds.
“Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture, here I come!”
Sun Mo was going to be a fisherman. He wanted both the snipefish and the clam.
This was how great a man’s ambition should be! There was nothing wrong with that!
