Chapter 36 (1/2)

No matter where a great beauty like Gu Xiuxun went to, she would always be the center of attention.

The two intern teachers straightened their postures and looked more energized. Behaving as if they were cocks in heat that were fighting for the right to mate, they instantly brought out their most perfect posture. 1

“Teacher Gu!”

“Teacher Gu!”

The two intern teachers went up, greeting her enthusiastically. Even the angered Qin Fen also took a deep breath and calmed the annoyance and anger in his heart.

Gu Xiuxun nodded, greeting everyone in turn. She gave off a very good feeling.

“Teacher Gu is here for Xuanyuan Po?”

Qin Fen knew that he had no hope, but he didn’t wish for trash like Sun Mo to get his hands on Xuanyuan Po either. Seeing Gu Xiuxun’s arrival, he immediately schemed in his mind.

“That’s right.”

Gu Xiuxun might seem calm on the surface, but she was secretly gloating. Qin Fen must have failed because of how angry he looked. This was why they said that the recruitment of a student wasn’t determined by the order of appearance, but by one’s strength.

“Then you’ve come late. He has already acknowledged a teacher.”

The uglier intern teacher took this chance to get close to Gu Xiuxun, trying to get into her good books. He could smell the fragrance coming from Gu Xiuxun and had a strong urge to take a deep whiff.

“Huh?”

Gu Xiuxun lost her cool and was no longer smiling. She stared at Qin Fen. In her opinion, the other three weren’t considered a threat, and her only enemy was Qin Fen who came from the Jixia Learning Palace.

“There’s no need to stare like that. It’s not me!”

Qin Fen shrugged.

“Then who is it?”

Gu Xiuxun first looked toward the uglier intern teacher and then turned toward the ordinarily ugly-looking intern teacher. She then smiled. “I don’t like such jokes.”

Gu Xiuxun was someone of ambition. She wanted to help Headmaster An Xinhui, whom she admired, to get the Central Province Academy back up. After entering the school, she immediately devoted herself entirely to her work.

She had already gained some slight achievements.

As a female teacher, and a beautiful one at that, Gu Xiuxun had a very big advantage. Almost all of the students whom she had guided while working as a teaching assistant fell to her charm. 1

In order to get ten genius students from the student recruitment meet and break a new record, Gu Xiuxun had made many preparations a long time ago. When she noticed Xuanyuan Po this morning, she arranged for five students to follow him, and they would report his situation in half an hour intervals.

Gu Xiuxun was in no hurry. It was because a student would be very careful when acknowledging a teacher. After all, their future was on the line. Moreover, she also had a few fixed targets to recruit and mustn’t waste her time.

Geniuses like Xuanyuan Po, who was highly regarded by Liu Mubai, must have many teachers coming to recruit him. Gu Xiuxun didn’t wish to fight with those people since it’d make her appear as if she was lacking in class. Therefore, she only came in the evening when there were fewer teachers.

According to Gu Xiuxun’s plan, Xuanyuan Po would definitely come into contact with many teachers throughout the day. He would also listen to many guidances, promises, and self-recommendations. Gu Xiuxun believed that her performance would definitely be able to win against those other teachers, giving Xuanyuan Po a stark comparison. He would know that she, Gu Xiuxun, was the most outstanding out of them all.

Of course, after being surrounded and bombarded for the entire day, Xuanyuan Po would be feeling mentally fatigued. Therefore, his ability to consider things would naturally drop, which would also increase her chances of winning.

After putting in so much effort, she was told that this guy had been recruited by someone when she had just met him and hadn’t done anything yet? If it wasn’t because she had to maintain her image, Gu Xiuxun would definitely smash the heads of these two intern teachers.

“I’m not joking.”

The uglier one of them quickly explained, worried that he’d offend Gu Xiuxun.

Sun Mo felt like laughing when he saw the uglier and ugly intern teachers hanging around Gu Xiuxun, currying up to her, worried that they’d anger her. He looked at Gu Xiuxun and some data appeared.

“Then who has he been recruited by? You?”

Gu Xiuxun’s tone sounded a little cold. She was thinking that if someone like this ugly guy could recruit Xuanyuan Po, then she’d kneel and lick his shoes.

“It’s him!”

The ugly intern teacher pointed at Sun Mo.

“Hmm?”

Gu Xiuxun turned and looked toward Sun Mo dubiously.

“That’s right.” Qin Fen chipped in, sharing the entire story of what had happened earlier. In the end, he put out both his hands and shrugged. “I’m not as eloquent and can’t win against him in words.”

“That’s right. I feel that such guidance sounds more like sophistry.”

The ugly intern teacher didn’t wish for Sun Mo to stand out before Gu Xiuxun and thus vilified him.

“It’s a hoax, isn’t it?”

The uglier one sounded even more hostile.

Gu Xiuxun fell silent, assessing Sun Mo with a hostile gaze. How could she not feel angry when her prey had been snatched away? However, most of what she felt was helpless gloominess.

She had thought that her competitors would be Liu Mubai and the other full-time teachers. Some of them could even be great teachers. Thus, she hadn’t expected Sun Mo to succeed.

This felt as if she had been sharpening her blade, preparing to snatch a rare monster from a group of elite players. However, the rare monster ended up being killed by a newbie player…

“Why is it him?”

At this moment, Gu Xiuxun, who had always maintained her disposition of a graceful lady, felt like cursing. She couldn’t accept a loss like this.

“That’s right, why is it him?”

The two ugly intern teachers agreed. They wouldn’t mind if they had lost to Liu Mubai or even Qin Fen. However, it felt really bad that they had lost to Sun Mo!

“The kid had been duped. If you were to step in, there might be a chance of salvaging things.” Qin Fen wore a pained expression. “Xuanyuan Po’s aptitude isn’t bad, but he’d probably be a goner if he were to land in Sun Mo’s hands.”

Gu Xiuxun looked at Qin Fen and then followed him to walk up to Sun Mo.

Lu Zhiruo immediately felt nervous and shrank to hide behind Sun Mo.
