Chapter 925 - The Unsurpassable Great Teacher Sun!
Chapter 925: The Unsurpassable Great Teacher Sun!
Translator: Lordbluefire
The winter this year was warm. The majority of the days had beautiful sun and moderate wind.
Mister Qin rubbed his hands and added charcoal to the stove. He wanted to wait for the water to boil before taking out some tea leaves and steeped a pot of tea.
But after he looked at the can of tea leaves, he put them down again.
These tea leaves were something Sun Mo had gifted him last year when he was just an intern teacher. But right now, these tea leaves seemed even more valuable and fragrant.
“I must save them. My son is hopeless, but I still have a grandson. If I let him taste the tea made from these tea leaves, he might be able to gain some luck from Great Teacher Sun and have some accomplishments when he grows up.”
.
Mister Qin hummed a little tune and carefully kept the can of tea leaves. He then took out some common tea leaves to steep them.
When the hot water was poured into the teapot, a thick fragrance began to permeate the air.
Mister Qin sniffed gently.
“I thank Great Teacher Sun and hope he can get a good result in the 3-star great teacher examination.”
Mister Qi carried the cup of tea and respectfully toasted the direction of the Saint Gate before slowly sipping it.
Speaking of which, this ordinary brand of tea had recently become very popular and required quite a few taels of silver just to purchase 50 grams of it.
In the past, a gatekeeper like Mister Qin definitely wouldn’t be able to afford this tea. But ever since Sun Mo became the logistic head and finished off Zhang Hanfu, the school had been improving on a daily basis.
Leaving aside other changes, just the doubling of their salaries was enough to make everyone do their best.
Usually, Mister Qin’s hobby was to secretly glance at the young and beautiful female students. But today, he had no mood to do that at all as he kept turning his gaze toward the long street.
He had checked the news and realized that today was the date where the results would be announced.
He was prepared to report this joyous news to Sun Mo the moment he received it. He didn’t want any monetary reward and simply wanted to thank Sun Mo for bringing better days to everyone.
Creak.
The door opened.
Mister Qin hurriedly turned his head and immediately stood up when he saw Gu Xuxun.
“Great Teacher Gu!”
Mister Qin’s head was directly lowered.
Sneak a glance at her?
Stop joking, she was a great teacher that Headmaster An regarded highly and was also a bosom friend of Sun Mo. If he stared at her recklessly, he might not be able to keep his job.
But Mister Qin still couldn’t control it.
His gaze swept past Gu Xiuxun’s legs and saw that she was wearing a pair of deer-skin shoes.
There was no solution to it. This campus queen of the Myriad Daos Academy was truly too charming.
“Mn, I will rest for a while. Just be at ease!”
Gu Xiuxun looked around and discovered that the situation was neat and tidy. She nodded in satisfaction and pulled a chair over and sat down.
“Do you want some tea?”
Mister Qin bowed and asked.
“Nope.”
Gu Xiuxun naturally wouldn’t use a cup belonging to another guy, other than Sun Mo.
Mister Qin also knew his own status and he wasn’t worthy enough to converse with Gu Xiuxun. Hence, he tactfully went to a corner and remained silent.
A few minutes later...
A creaking sound rang out as the door was opened again.
A beautiful face entered Mister Qin’s vision.
“Teacher Gu?”
Mei Ziyu was surprised. She didn’t expect that she would meet Gu Xiuxun here.
“Teacher Mei, you also came here to wait for the results?”
Gu Xiuxun pulled another chair over. “Come in and take a seat, it’s cold outside.”
Mei Ziyu blushed and felt a little shy. But she still decided to enter.
Mister Qin didn’t dare to speak. He shrank back with even more force toward his corner.
What a joke. This was a girl from a prestigious family, the only daughter of Mei Yazhi. For people of his status, he wasn’t qualified to speak to her at all.
“Mister Qin!”
Mei Ziyu took the initiative to greet him.
“I don’t dare to, I don’t dare to! Great Teacher Mei is too courteous.”
Although he knew that Mei Ziyu’s address of him as ‘Mister Qin’ was out of politeness, he was still badly shocked.
Gu Xiuxun and Mei Ziyu chatted idly and some time later, the door creaked as it was pushed open again.
An Xinhui entered.
“Sis An!”
“Headmaster An!”
Gu Xiuxun and Mei Ziyu rose from their seats.
“You girls are here too!”
An Xinhui seamlessly cast a glance at Mei Ziyu. She mentally mused at how charismatic her childhood sweetheart was. He was actually able to make Mei Ziyu give up staying in the Jixia Learning Palace and come all the way to the Central Province Academy to teach.
Mei Ziyu’s face turned red again. She felt so embarrassed that she didn’t know what to do. After all, it was not very normal for a girl to care so much about a colleague’s result.
Gu Xiuxun, on the other hand, was natural and unrestrained. “Oh right. We are all waiting for Sun Mo’s result. He should be able to set a new record, right?”
(Should I go out?)
Mister Qin knew he should do this, but his legs were not listening to his commands.
Because this was his life’s peak.
Being in the same room together with three great beauties!
Just the fragrance in the air was enough to make people feel intoxicated.
Sigh!
(I’m really very envious of Great Teacher Sun.)
When he thought of how joyful Sun Mo would be, having three beauties that belonged to him and sleeping together with them...this scenery was simply too wonderful.
Mister Qin eventually still decided to leave obediently. But when he stepped out, he saw Liu Mubai also coming over.
(It can’t be, right? Are you also in love with Great Teacher Sun?)
“What sort of gaze is that?”
Liu Mubai frowned.
“Great Teacher Liu, my gaze is one of admiration!”
Mister Qin hurriedly put on a smile.
“Admiration your head.”
Usually, Liu Mubai wouldn’t mind hearing such compliments. But today was different because the results were about to arrive.
Liu Mubai was distracted and his thoughts were in turmoil. His rationale told him that Sun Mo’s results would definitely be very good. But he still hoped some accidents would occur.
What if Sun Mo screwed up?
After hearing Liu Mubai’s voice, An Xinhui pulled the curtain open and greeted him. “Teacher Liu!”
“Headmaster An!”
Liu Mubai then saw Gu Xiuxun and Mei Ziyu. “Teacher Mei! Teacher Gu!”
Ai!
After greeting, Liu Mubai sighed silently in his heart.
(Look at Sun Mo, he is successful in both love and career.)
Mei Ziyu and Gu Xiuxun weren’t on the Beauty Rankings. Mei Ziyu couldn’t be bothered to vye with people while Gu Xiuxun’s achievement was still a little lacking. But in terms of appearances, both of them were beautiful and had completely no problems.
(What a difference in the situation. Can’t you just give me one?)
Liu Mubai naturally felt awkward to enter, so he decided to wait outside.
After a few minutes passed, Jin Mujie also came.
(This is so psychologically damaging!)
Liu Mubai wanted to cry but no tears were coming out. There was no need to ask. Jin Mujie definitely wouldn’t be here to wait for Liu Mubai’s results.
There were too many people and the room couldn’t accommodate them. Hence, everyone decided to head to the school’s entrance to wait.
As time passed, the number of students in the surroundings increased. They were chatting while staring outside the gate.
“Wow, there are so many people!” Lian Zheng chortled. “Seems like Teacher Sun’s popularity is very high!”
After Lian Zheng spoke, he discovered that Liu Mubai was here too. He then immediately felt awkward.
But this couldn’t be blamed on him.
(Who made you guys, the twin jade annulus of Jinling, have such an inferior performance in comparison?)
Right now, no one mentioned the title ‘twin jade annulus of Jinling’ any longer because Sun Mo had suppressed them and became the number one great teacher of Jinling.
“Teacher Liu, are you confident?”
Wang Su came along with Lian Zheng. He asked this question when he saw Liu Mubai.
“Probably 70%?”
Liu Mubai felt very sullen.
Others were paying attention to Sun Mo because they wanted to know if he could become the champion. As for himself, the others were wondering if he could pass or not. There was basically no need for him to compete with Sun Mo; everyone felt Sun Mo was stronger.
“It’s here!”
As a few students shouted loudly, everyone turned their heads and glanced toward the street.
As expected, the people designated to report the good news were dressed in red. They rushed over, while holding up a signboard, carrying a wooden box that contained the insignia of a 3-star great teacher’s identity, as well as bringing along a golden-colored great teacher attire.
Under the sunlight, the great teacher robe shone resplendently.
The signboard’s sides had red silk hanging on them, and different characters in golden color were written on them.
-star Great Teacher, Sun Mo!
Champion, Sun Mo!
#1 Ranker on the Great Teachers Hero Rankings, Sun Mo!
...
When the congratulatory team reached the school gate, the person in the lead called out in a loud voice.
“Congratulations to Sun Mo, Great Teacher Sun, for obtaining the first place in the 3-star great teacher examinations. We are specially here to deliver the good news and the golden robe to send our felicitations!”
His voice resounded in the ears of everyone.
In the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, the color ‘gold’ was associated with wealth and nobility. It was like only emperors could wear golden robes embroidered with dragons; only 3-star great teachers could wear the golden great teacher robe.
After a short period of silence, cheers as loud as tsunami-level waves breaking onto the shore rang out.
“Oh my...three-time champion in a single year. Teacher Sun did it.”
“He is also the #1 ranker on the Great Teachers Hero Rankings!”
“This time around, our Central Province Academy is really impressive!”
The students were all extremely happy. Some even already started running to look for Sun Mo to report this joyous news.
“This is excellent.”
An Xinhui was so agitated that her hands were trembling slightly.
“Reward the congratulatory team! Reward them heavily!”
Wang Su instructed the assistant and involuntarily started applauding.
Only great teachers would understand how glorious and how difficult it was for Sun Mo to become a three-time champion in one year.
This was making history, setting a new record.
Before the next genius broke his record, Sun Mo would be the new ceiling for great teachers of all batches. As long as they participated in the great teacher examination, they would be under his shadow.
How could the next genius break this record?
It was to rise to the 4-star ranking consecutively and become a four-time champion.
If they only rose to the 3-star ranking, they would at most be equal to Sun Mo.
As for 4-star, it was too difficult as one of the teacher’s personal students had to ascend to the Hero Rankings.
That would be a competition that disregarded age differences. Hence, the older one was, the more advantageous it would usually be for them.
Hence, it could be certain that this ‘ceiling’ established by Sun Mo would hold for several hundred years before anyone could break through it.
“It is truly a fortune for our Central Province Academy that Sun Mo came to join us!”
Wang Su sighed ruefully.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Wang Su +1,000. Reverence (11,100/100,000).
After getting the results they wanted, the great teachers, students, and some others went to look for Sun Mo, wanting to take a look at the three-time champion. As for others, they went to inform their friends.
Liu Mubai walked toward the leader of the congratulatory team.
“May I ask if there are still any other great teachers from the Central Province Academy who passed brilliantly?”
Liu Mubai didn’t dare to mention his name. If he didn’t pass, it would be too embarrassing.
“There’s still a great teacher named Liu Mubai. The congratulatory team for him will be here shortly.”
The other party’s attitude was respectful. After he finished speaking, he praised. “The Central Province Academy is truly impressive. That Great Teacher Liu also achieved the feat of obtaining three stars in a single year.”
“However, that Great Teacher Liu must be feeling miserable as well. If it wasn’t for Great Teacher Sun’s radiance being too blinding, he would surely have become the number one person of this year.”
Even if the great teachers were from the same school, there would be different congratulatory teams sent out for each of them. Because, this was to give each great teacher their own distinctive time to shine in glory.
Liu Mubai suddenly clutched his face, wanting to sob soundlessly as he felt extremely complicated in his heart.
(I have succeeded. I completed the feat of obtaining three stars in one year. However, is there any meaning to it? Sun Mo is not only younger than me, but he is also a three-time champion. The weight of his titles can crush people to death.)
Liu Mubai felt that it was too tragic to be in the same era as Sun Mo. The great teachers of this batch were all submerged under his radiance.
