Chapter 53 (1/2)
The din before the teaching building instantly fell to silence. The surrounding people were staring at Sun Mo with astonished looks on their faces, as though they had heard wrongly.
What did he say?
Unable to teach? Wasn’t this a tactful rejection?
Jin Mujie glanced at Sun Mo. This answer caused her interest in him to grow.
Yue Rongbo nodded. He didn’t really like this pair of brothers either, but he didn’t remind Sun Mo because this could be considered a testing ground. He wanted to see if Sun Mo could withstand the temptation of being acknowledged by someone as their masters.
When a teacher first got acknowledged as a master by someone, they would feel a floaty feeling and accept all types of students. But they didn’t know that by doing this, it would seriously affect their teaching career.
And as for Sun Mo, he was very rational.
“Hehe, teacher. This joke isn’t funny!”
Zou An laughed dryly, but he felt a sense of unease in his heart.
Zou Ping thought that it was because Sun Mo was unsatisfied with his attitude. Hence, he kowtowed once more with more force. “Teacher Sun, please accept this student!”
“I’ve already said it. I’m just an intern teacher, I’m afraid I won’t know how to teach you guys. I don’t want to ruin two wonderful pairs of unpolished jades.”
Sun Mo tactfully declined
Hua~
A clamor rang out in the surroundings. This time around, even a fool could understand. Sun Mo basically didn’t want this pair of twins. But what was the reason?
Someone that could cause two teachers to vie for them should definitely be a genius, right? Also, there were teachers who read through the information booklet. This pair of siblings had pretty good rankings.
Li Ziqi hurriedly tugged on Sun Mo’s sleeves. She used her hand and covered her mouth as she asked softly, “Teacher, did you say wrongly?”
“You two can get up, you will definitely be able to find an even better teacher.”
Accepting disciples was a major matter, Sun Mo naturally wouldn’t be casual about it. The attitude Zou Ping showed after he had defeated Zou An, as well as the low number of favorable impression points he contributed, made Sun Mo think lowly of this student.
There were no other reasons. Zou Ping’s personality was too cold.
As for Zou An, Sun Mo simply didn’t wish to have him as a student.
“Teacher, why?”
Zou Ping didn’t understand. “We are from an aristocratic clan that deals in the herbs business. Our constitution isn’t bad and has been headhunted by many teachers from the time we participated in the student recruitment meet up until now. Could it be we still fail to gain your regard?”
“Just get up, he already showed that he doesn’t think highly of you. Why are you still calling him Teacher?”
Compared to his elder brother, Zou An was easily angered. However, this was the temperament of youths. After he spoke, everyone could feel the resentment in his tone.
“Has Sun Mo gone silly?”
In the crowd, Yuan Feng was dumbstruck. If it was him, he would definitely accept them immediately.
A pair of wealthy students would definitely not forget to pay respects to their elders every new year. The teacher would have a better life too. However, Sun Mo rejected them? Was he retarded?
“Haha! Haha!” Qin Feng was so angered that he started laughing. He glared at Sun Mo. “Since you don’t think highly of them, why did you still want to compete with me?”
“You are the one who wanted to compete with me!”
Sun Mo shrugged.
Qin Fen was dumbfounded. Now that he recalled it, it was true. Sun Moon didn’t say anything earlier, it was Yuan Feng and himself who egged Sun Mo on. After that, the competition occurred.
From the start to the end, Sun Mo had never stated that he wanted to accept this pair of brothers as his disciples.
“I’m so despicable!”
Qin Fen muttered, wanting nothing more than to slap himself.
“You just realized it?”
Sun Mo counter-asked.
“You…”
Qin Fen was almost angered to death. The main reason for his anger was that Sun Mo obtained Xuanyuan Po and Li Ziqi. If not, he wouldn’t have bragged that this pair of brothers had wanted to take him as their master just to gain back some face. And now, everything was over.
“Hehe, teacher is so toxic!”
Li Ziqi used her elbow and prod Lu Zhiruo.
“Mn! Mn!”
The papaya girl continuously nodded. After that, she felt a little happy. It was so good that Sun Mo had accepted her.
“Let’s go!”
Sun Mo no longer wished to be surrounded and watched. He called out to the two girls as he turned to leave.
The surrounding spectators automatically opened up a path, and the intern teachers all stared at Sun Mo with complicated emotions. However, the majority of them felt emotions like depression and unhappiness.
He was also just an intern teacher, yet he was choosing which students to accept? Who gave him the courage to do so? If they were in his shoes and someone wanted to take them as their masters, they would immediately rush forward to accept.
“I’ve already said it earlier. How can they be worthy of Teacher Sun?”
Upon seeing the Zou brothers fail to acknowledge Sun Mo as their masters, Qi Shengjia felt relief. He also retracted the tiny hope in his heart. His aptitude couldn’t even be compared to the Zou brothers. Hence, he would also naturally not be successful in getting Sun Mo to be his master.
Qin Fen’s eyes locked on to Sun Mo when he left. All of a sudden, he clenched his fist and shouted, “Teacher Sun is awesome indeed. Most probably, you will be able to trample on Liu Mubai soon and suppress Fang Wuji, becoming the number one great teacher in Jinling!”
Yue Rongbo frowned. Qin Fen’s heart was so filthy.
As the saying went, three men made a tiger. With so many spectators here, as long as the spectators casually spread these words, the meaning of the words would surely change.
Qin Fen wanted to create troubles for Sun Mo.
In Jinling City, Liu Mubai and Fang Wuji of the Myriad Daos Academy were two extremely famous great teachers-to-be. By lumping Sun Mo with them, Qin Fen evidently wanted to make trouble for him.
The spectators hadn’t dispersed completely, Qin Fen and the Zou brothers had already left. But nothing could be done; things were too embarrassing for them.
“Teacher Qin, do you hate Sun Mo very much?”
At a remote location, Zou An caught up to Qin Fen.
“What do you think?”
Qin Fen mockingly asked.
“Accept us as disciples. We will cooperate together and make sure we teach that Sun Mo a good lesson. Also, I will defeat all his disciples.”
Zou An bared his teeth when he said this. Each word was dripping with blood.
