Chapter 42 (1/2)
“You can go back to your work for now.”
An Xinhui deepened the tone of her voice and after Zhou Lin left, she picked up her brush and wrote the words, ‘Sun Mo’, while memories of their childhood flashed in her mind.
Other than talented students, schools also wanted students who came from wealthy families. Why? It was because these students came naturally with a tremendous amount of political resources.
An Xinhui wanted students like Li Ziqi, but she knew that the current state of the Central Province Academy wouldn’t be able to win against the Myriad Daos Academy. Therefore, she didn’t expect this surprise haul!
Zhou Lin was worried about Li Ziqi’s aunt, while An Xinhui was thinking that if things were handled properly, this could bring a lot of benefits for the school!
After all, if it wasn’t for Sun Mo, there was a high chance that Li Ziqi would be going to the Myriad Daos Academy!
“No matter how things are, my fiance is really amazing!”
An Xinhui decided that after the student recruitment meet ended, she would go and take a look at Sun Mo, to meet this childhood sweetheart who had used to enjoy following behind her.
…
Right now, Sun Mo had two tails trailing behind him
Li Ziqi kept on trying to find out about Lu Zhiruo’s situation. Given her max intellect at 10 points, the papaya girl wasn’t her match at all. It didn’t take long for Lu Zhiruo to place great trust in her and say many things.
“Very good. From today onward, I’ll be your eldest martial sister. If there’s any trouble, I’ll protect you.”
Li Ziqi took out a jade pendant and handed it to Lu Zhiruo. “Here, this is eldest martial sister’s gift for you.”
Lu Zhiruo lowered her head and didn’t take it.
“Take it!” Li Ziqi urged.
“I…am teacher’s first disciple.”
It was rare to see the cowardly Lu Zhiruo showing such persistence.
Li Ziqi pinched her forehead, explaining solemnly, “Didn’t I tell you? I’ve done the teacher acknowledgment long ago. Teacher Sun, where is that scarf? Take it out and show her!”
Sun Mo pretended as if he hadn’t heard anything. He would let the kids deal with the matters between them, and he wouldn’t help either of them.
“The first disciple is the teacher’s image. While the person doesn’t have to be the strongest, they must at least not be embarrassing. You’ll suffer a lot given your weak character!”
Li Ziqi rambled on, striking the papaya girl’s weakness.
“I…I…”
Lu Zhiruo kept on stuttering ‘I’ but eventually didn’t finish her sentence. She was aware that her character was weak, and even when she met strangers, she would feel so scared that she wouldn’t dare to breathe too loudly.
“Alright, it’s decided.”
Li Ziqi smiled proudly. “Come on, call me eldest martial sister!”
Lu Zhiruo struggled for a very long time but was eventually unable to win against Li Ziqi’s insistence. “Eldest… eldest martial sister!”
“En!”
Li Ziqi nodded solemnly and waved her little fist excitedly. “From today onward, I’m someone who has a junior martial sister.”
“And also a junior martial brother!” Lu Zhiruo reminded her.
“What?” Li Ziqi was perplexed and looked at Lu Zhiruo. She realized that Lu Zhiruo spoke too slowly, so she decided to run up to Sun Mo and asked, “What’s going on?”
“This is how it is. If you acknowledge me as your teacher, not only would you have an elder martial sister, but you’ll also have an elder martial brother.
Sun Mo teased. It ended up that Lu Zhiruo was still unable to win against Li Ziqi. This feeling was as if he was watching an endearing and naive little deer being fooled by a Little Red Riding Hood.
“This is detestable!”
Li Ziqi pouted her little lips and raised her foot to kick Sun Mo’s lower leg. It was only then did she realize that it was bad for her to be doing this, and she sneaked a glance toward him. Realizing he wasn’t angry, she felt relieved and patted herself on the chest.
“You… You are being disrespectful toward teacher Sun!”
Lu Zhiruo was shocked.
“I… I’m just bringing our teacher-student relationship closer !” Li Ziqi’s eyes rolled as she immediately came up with an excuse. “That’s right, bringing our relationship closer!”
“Oh!”
Lu Zhiruo nodded.
Seeing Lu Zhiruo’s naive expression flashing with an innocent aura like a harmless little deer, Li Ziqi suddenly felt a little conscience-stricken. She was hesitating if she should explain things when she saw Lu Zhiruo running over and catching up to Sun Mo.
“Hehe!”
Lu Zhiruo raised her right leg and kicked out hard.
Pa!
Sun Mo stumbled a little from the sudden kick and almost knelt on the ground. He couldn’t help but turn back and look at Lu Zhiruo, feeling puzzled.
“This is to improve our relationship!” Lu Zhiruo said seriously.
She felt that the greater the strength she exerted, the deeper their relationship would be. After saying that, she turned and looked at Li Ziqi.
(Hey, hey, don’t look at me. It has nothing to do with me.) Although Li Ziqi was thinking this, she nodded seriously. “That’s right, we both like Teacher Sun a lot.”
Sun Mo had the feeling that his life wasn’t going to be so easy in the future.
“Who is that junior martial brother?” Li Ziqi asked.
“A battle maniac who likes to fight!”
Sun Mo recalled Xuanyuan Po’s data. It was true that it’d be a waste of his body if he didn’t battle.
“Oh, that means that his head is filled with muscles!”
Li Ziqi was assured. Simple-minded people who only had brawns were the easiest to deal with. “Oh right, Teacher Sun, come over here!”
Seeing that there was a large shaded area behind the library not far away and that there weren’t many people there, Li Ziqi immediately grabbed Sun Mo’s arm and ran over.
