Novel Bin Chapter 276 Saving Cai Tan
Chapter 276 Saving Cai Tan
Sun Mo knew that this was not the end of the matter. He had killed Prince Li’s beloved son, so it’d be impossible for Prince Li not to seek revenge. However, Sun Mo didn’t regret it.
He only regretted having killed a scum like Li Can too late.
After dealing with the logistics department’s problem, Sun Mo didn’t take this matter to heart. It was as if he had only done something trivial, but all people were amazed.
Sun Mo was quite capable. Not only were his teaching abilities outstanding, but he was also extremely good at dealing with management issues.
Even Zhang Hanfu hadn’t expected him to bring the school to order in just two days. Moreover, in order to curry up to Sun Mo, Wei Ziyu had even brought over some rare and expensive food ingredients. Sun Mo’s horizon had been expanded, and he had the good fortune of tasting them.
With that, no one doubted Sun Mo’s abilities anymore. He was very competent as the logistics department head.
Right now, even great teachers would take the initiative to greet Sun Mo when they saw him on the school grounds. It was because Sun Mo’s status was gradually rising.
From the academics perspective, Sun Mo had the God Hands, and his reputation had spread through the entire school. He was very popular with the students.
In terms of his position, Sun Mo was the logistics department head, wielding a portion of authority over the school’s finances. It was one of the positions with actual power. Moreover, as An Xinhui’s fiancé, he was also half the owner of the Central Province Academy.
Sun Mo’s only flaw was that he didn’t have a great teacher title. However, given the competency he displayed, everyone felt that Sun Mo would be able to pass the great teacher examination next spring. Even if the teachers didn’t curry up to him, they’d smile and display a friendly attitude. Therefore, things became hard for Zhang Hanfu.
Greed caused one to never feel content. Under Li Zixing’s support, Zhang Hanfu started to feel dissatisfied about the vice-headmaster position. He thought of wanting to take control over the entire Central Province Academy.
Things had gone well in the beginning, and he had also managed to suppress An Xinhui at one point. However, his advantage started to plunge sharply after Sun Mo’s arrival.
“An Xinhui is really lucky. If it wasn’t for Sun Mo, I would... sigh.”
Over the past few days, Zhang Hanfu was drowning his sorrows with wine. He was also very worried since his son hadn’t returned after so long
In the Myriad Daos Academy’s headmaster office.
“I’ve lost, I’ve lost. Aren’t you too good at chess?”
Headmaster Cao wiped off the sweat from his forehead and leaned back on the chair, looking at the chessboard dejectedly. He had tried very hard but was still unable to win against Yue Rongbo!
“Chess is a minor art!”
Yue Rongbo didn’t care about winning or losing in this.
“That’s why I hate geniuses like you guys the most. We, ordinary people, work so hard to practice, but in the end, the ceiling we touch is just your starting point.”
Headmaster Cao sighed.
“Hehe!” Yue Rongbo shook his head. “I firmly believe that everyone is a genius. It’s just a matter of whether they can uncover their talent!”
“Like that Sun Mo?”
Headmaster Cao exclaimed, “Do you know? The Central Province Academy’s logistics crisis has been resolved.”
“Oh?”
Yue Rongbo had been very busy lately and didn’t have the time to take note of Sun Mo.
Headmaster Cao naturally paid great attention to the Central Province Academy’s every action since they were archenemies. Therefore, he shared the entire process that he knew of with Yue Rongbo.
“Headmaster An really has a good judgment. Back then, I was wondering why he would marry An Xinhui to a guy who graduated from an ordinary school when he dotes on her so much. It seems that I’ve been misled by my first impression and had underestimated him.”
Headmaster Cao felt very emotional.
The Headmaster An he was referring to was the old headmaster. Even though they were rivals, Headmaster Cao was filled with respect and admiration for the old headmaster. As for An Xinhui, she was a junior and wasn’t deserving of his respect yet.
“Our school has also benefited thanks to Sun Mo!”
Headmaster Cao laughed. Due to Sun Mo striking down the treacherous merchants, the prices of goods had plunged a lot. Hence, the goods that the Myriad Daos Academy purchased were also a lot cheaper than usual.
Yue Rongbo sipped on tea while wearing a calm expression.
“Hmmm? You aren’t surprised?”
Headmaster Cao knew that Yue Rongbo had an extremely good impression of Sun Mo. Yue Rongbo had even suggested the school leaders to headhunt Sun Mo personally. However, they had rejected him. Firstly, Sun Mo hadn’t graduated from the Nine Greats and thus they didn’t care for him. Secondly, Sun Mo had just become an intern teacher and didn’t have any reputation back then. Thirdly, he was An Xinhui’s fiancé.
“This is just something normal to Teacher Sun.”
Yue Rongbo had given up on inviting Sun Mo to join his great teacher circle. The reason was because he couldn’t afford to keep a talent like
him.
“Your rating of him is very high!”
Headmaster Cao exclaimed.
“I feel that he’ll be able to catch up to me in less than five years.” Yue Rongbo gave it some thought before giving this assessment.
Headmaster Cao’s expression instantly turned solemn. Yue Rongbo might appear humble and amicable, but he was proud and arrogant deep inside. It showed how much he admired Sun Mo to admit Sun Mo’s talent in such an unrestrained manner.
Knock knock!
Door knocks rang out and Fang Wuji entered.
“Wuji, take a seat!”
Headmaster Cao got up and gave his seat to him. “Has Wuan come back?”
“No!”
Fang Wuji shook his head.
“What do you think of that Sun Mo?”
Headmaster Cao asked.
When Fang Wuji had just returned, he had reported to Headmaster Cao that Sun Mo and Ying Baiwu were both extremely talented and that they should do all they could to try to headhunt them. However, Headmaster Cao hadn’t thought much of them back then. After all, the price of headhunting people was too high.
“Give him five years, and it won’t be a problem for him to surpass Liu Mubai and myself.”
Fang Wuji gave it some thought and said seriously.
“What?”
Headmaster Cao was surprised. He knew that Fang Wuji was a serious person and didn’t like to speak carelessly without giving things much thought. The moment he spoke, there’d definitely be some fact in it.
“Wait. Maybe three years would be enough,”
Fang Wuji thought for a bit and corrected his statement. Liu Mubai had become the Central Province Academy’s top great teacher due to his talent and appearance. However, he believed that this title would belong to someone else very soon.
“It seems that there’s a need for me to make a trip as soon as possible!”
Headmaster Cao went into deep thought. “Tomorrow!”
Both Yue Rongbo and Fang Wuji said in unison.
“You guys...”
Headmaster Cao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He then felt a strong sense of curiosity toward how good Sun Mo was.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Headmaster Cao +50, prestige connection initiated. Neutral (50/100).
At the Central Province Academy’s villa zone.
Cai Tan stood on the path in front of the Pipa Building, hesitating. He wanted to look for Sun Mo to resolve the problem with his blood. However, he was worried that doing so would be too presumptuous and that he might anger Sun Mo.
The current Sun Mo was no longer the anonymous person he used to be. Quite a lot of people, both students and teachers included, wanted to receive a massage from Sun Mo’s God Hands.
In the past, before Cai Tan had been called Shang Zhongyong (1), he had also been very proud. He had even rejected the recruitment of great teachers before. But now, he was trash. He was an insignificant character who had been defeated in the battle hall examination.
Cai Tan no longer had anything to back his confidence.
“Cai Tan? Are you here to look for Teacher Sun?”
Lu Zhiruo, who was holding food boxes, came. When she saw Cai Tan, she spoke out. She knew this young man.
“Junior Lu!”
Cai Tan quickly greeted. “May I know if Teacher Sun is free now?”.
“You want to seek Teacher’s guidance, right? Come on in then!”
Lu Zhiruo opened the door with great familiarity and then entered.
Cai Tan took a few deep breaths and followed her. After waiting in the guest room for a few minutes, he saw Sun Mo entering.
“Teacher!” Cai Tan quickly got up and bowed toward Sun Mo.
“No need to be so polite. Take a seat!” Sun Mo used his Divine Sight. “How has your body been recently?”
“Not too good!”
Cai Tan shook his head, looking dejected. He had felt a lot better after receiving Sun Mo’s massage. However, after entering the Darkness Continent, the horrible feeling came back.
“How has your diet been like recently? What have you been eating?”
Sun Mo frowned. Cai Tan’s data showed that the intensity of the venom in his blood had increased again.
“It’s the same as before. I’ve been eating my meals in the canteen.” Cai Tan’s sharp brows furrowed gradually. “En, come with me!”
Sun Mo brought Cai Tan to the training room and got him to remove all his clothes and sit down. Sun Mo then performed the living blood technique, giving him treatment.
The process went on smoothly, and Cai Tan once again experienced the feeling as though his blood and spirit qi circulations were both smooth and unobstructed. He felt that he’d be able to defeat ten Zhang Yanzong now. To speak the truth, Cai Tan had been thinking of avenging the humiliation of having been defeated by that guy.
“Eat lighter food during this period!” Sun Mo instructed.
“Yes, Teacher!”
Cai Tan got up and quickly bowed to express his thanks.
Ding! Favorable impression points from Cai Tan +100. Friendly (195/1,000).
“How has your girlfriend been recently?”
Sun Mo tried to probe.
“Very good!”
At the mention of Ruan Yun, Cai Tan immediately revealed a blissful expression. He felt that Ruan Yun was a precious heaven-blessed treasure.
“Come here once every weekend. I’ll help you improve your blood circulation.”
The living blood technique couldn’t be used too frequently. Otherwise, one’s body might not be able to take it.
Cai Tan bade his goodbye. Before he left, he saw Xuanyuan Po and the others coming. While greeting them, he felt a little envious that they could listen to Sun Mo’s teachings and guidance. It was so good!
“Teacher, the martial juniors have all arrived!”
Li Ziqi reported. “En!”
Sun Mo got up and was about to meet them when the system’s notification suddenly rang out by his ear.
Ding!
“Congratulations, you’ve avoided any harm done to the school’s reputation and solved the school’s financial issues. You’re specially rewarded with one diamond treasure chest.”
A big treasure chest that had gleaming diamonds on it landed in front of Sun Mo. If it wasn’t for Sun Mo, the Central Province Academy would have received a huge blow this time around. This was why he was given such a great reward this time around.
By the time Sun Mo arrived in the guest room, his six personal disciples had all arrived. Other than that, the honest guy Qi Shengjia was also here.
When Qi Shengjia saw Sun Mo, he felt uncontrollably agitated. “Teacher!”
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Qi Shengjia +50. Reverence (1,152/10,000).
Hearing the notification, Sun Mo felt a little restless. The honest guy was really an experience baby. Sun Mo hadn’t done anything, but Qi Shengjia had already contributed favorable impression points.
“How have you been recently?”
Sun Mo smiled and asked.
“Very... Very good!”
It was true that Qi Shengjia had been doing quite well recently. Although he was ranked at the bottom of the battle hall, being in contact with these geniuses every day and listening to the great teachers’ free lectures had brought him tremendous improvements. In the battle hall’s examinations half a month ago, he had successfully defeated his challenger and was able to continue staying in the battle hall.
Recalling his dorm mates’ envious and resentful expressions, Qi Shengjia felt very satisfied. All of this had been bestowed by Teacher Sun.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Qi Shengjia +50. Reverence (1,202/10,000).
