Chapter 39 (1/2)

Sun Mo was talking to Lu Zhiruo when he heard the yell. When he turned his head, he saw Li Ziqi running toward them.

She was wearing a long pink skirt, and her black silky hair was tied with a pink ribbon. As she ran, her ponytail bounced up and down. She was full of vitality.

When Lu Zhiruo saw that a stranger was jogging over, she shut her mouth and cowered behind Sun Mo’s back.

(Oh? A female student? Who is she? And what relationship does she have with Teacher Sun?)

Li Ziqi looked at Lu Zhiruo’s slim fingers. The former couldn’t help but feel some unhappiness when she saw the latter holding onto Sun Mo’s clothes.

“Teacher Sun, is she… Ah!”

Li Ziqi was about to question Sun Mo. But because she was distracted, she didn’t notice a bump on the road and stumbled. She lost her balance and fell straight toward the ground.

“It’s over!”

Li Ziqi closed her eyes, thinking that she would be disfigured this time. Luckily, with Sun Mo’s sharp eyes and agile hands, he held her elbow in time.

“Be careful!”

Sun Mo helped Li Ziqi up and stared at her with Divine Sight on. Rows and rows of data jumped out in that instant.

Potential value: Extremely high!

Remark, athletic ability: extremely low. 5

…

Sun Mo ignored the remark straight away as he knew that it was normal for a genius to have a few shortcomings.

“My shoes, my shoes don’t fit well!”

Li Ziqi made an excuse to cover up the fact that her motoric senses were bad. At the same time, she quickly diverted the topic. “How was it? Did you get a little excited when I called you Teacher Sun?”

Sun Mo shook his head.

“Hmph!” Li Ziqi pouted and looked at Lu Zhiruo. “Who is she? Do you intend to take her as your personal disciple? How’s her aptitude?”

Before Sun Mo could answer, Zhang Sheng and Yuan Feng had walked over.

“Hey, Sun Mo!”

Zhang Sheng greeted Sun Mo with a friendly look. In front of an outsider, he had to hide his arrogance toward fellow teachers.

Yuan Feng nodded, but his eyes couldn’t look away from Lu Zhiruo’s breasts. He had no choice; they were so big that he couldn’t control his eyes. 2

“Sun Mo, could you guess what I brought you?”

Li Ziqi called his name directly, wanting to say it a few more times. After all, she would have no more chance to do so in the future.

“Hehe, I must have heard it wrongly!”

Zhang Sheng heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this salutation. He was happy he still had a chance. “Do student Li and Sun Mo know each other?”

“Hmm?”

Sun Mo was curious and looked at the calf leather satchel hanging on Li Ziqi’s waist.

“It’s students’ information!”

Li Ziqi tossed out a thick booklet and passed it to Sun Mo. “You don’t have to waste your time anymore; you can recruit students more effectively with this booklet.”

Yuan Feng gulped as he looked at the information booklet and subconsciously reached his hands out to take it. He remembered someone promoting this to him before, but he couldn’t bear to buy it as it was too expensive.

“Tsk, this information booklet is very expensive, how much did student Li spend?”

Zhang Sheng tried to interrupt. “Sun Mo, you better remember student Li’s kind intentions!”

“Quickly open it, I have marked the good students with a red-inked brush!”

Li Ziqi moved next to Sun Mo, helping him to flip the pages and starting to recommend each student.

“How much did you spend? I’ll pay you back.”

Sun Mo frowned. He had never taken advantage of any student; hence, he was prepared to return the money to her.

“Oh well, it’s not that expensive!”

Li Ziqi didn’t seem to bother.

“I recall it now. It should have cost you around one thousand taels of silver, right?”

Zhang Sheng continued to interrupt, but Li Ziqi’s peripheral vision didn’t even land on him. He felt extremely angry and awkward.

He couldn’t even join in their conversation. Li Ziqi pretended not to hear his question, but once Sun Mo asked something, she replied immediately.

He thought to himself, why would she treat him with such double standards? He couldn’t have been any worse than Sun Mo.

Even Yuan Feng, who was beside them, could feel the awkwardness. Zhang Sheng had always been proud of himself and looked down on others, but he was being ignored now.

Normally, Yuan Feng would have walked away after seeing all these. He didn’t like to receive cold shoulders. However, when facing Li Ziqi, he couldn’t bear to leave even if he had to receive cold treatment.

Sun Mo was indeed very lucky to have a girl buy an information booklet worth a thousand silver taels for him.

Yuan Feng looked at Li Ziqi who was innocent and cute. Seeing her quick-witted eyes and an oval-shaped face full of charming grace, Yuan Feng was drowned by gushes of envy and hatred.

“How could it be Sun Mo?”

Yuan Feng couldn’t help but feel angry.

Lu Zhiruo was not tall. She had to tiptoe and hold onto Sun Mo’s elbow to look at the information booklet.

“Sun Mo, who is she?”

Li Ziqi saw how Lu Zhiruo’s breasts were squeezed against Sun Mo’s elbows. It had formed an exaggerated curve on her green clothing. She thought to herself, ‘Lu Zhiruo must have done this on purpose!’

“She’s my student!”

Sun Mo replied casually, but Li Ziqi’s smile froze in that instant. Her heart was filled with frustration, and she tightened her fists.

She was crying in her head and couldn’t help but blame her uncle. She had gone to meet a great teacher and that had delayed her arrival by a day. Her title of first personal disciple was gone now.

(No, I must not give up.)
