Chapter 56 (1/2)
Yue Rongbo stared attentively at Sun Mo. Although he was rejected, he didn’t become angry from embarrassment. In fact, he admired Sun Mo’s character instead.
It’s true. Since they say that I sponge off women, I will snatch all their rice bowls then.
These words were truly tyrannical!
An Xinhui could no longer continue acting when she heard this. She didn’t expect the reason for Sun Mo’s rejection would be this.
“Sun Mo?”
She muttered her childhood sweetheart’s name silently. A trace of shock appeared in An Xinhui’s beautiful eyes. In the end, the emotions in her eyes transformed into admiration. She didn’t expect that this young kid who used to follow behind her had finally grown up.
“Wow, Teacher Sun is so tyrannical!”
Lu Zhiruo agitatedly wanted to clap.
If he left like this, those who didn’t know Sun Mo might misunderstand and thought he was slinking away with his tail between his legs. So, if he wanted to leave, he had to slap the faces of those who looked down on him first before he left.
The sun had almost set completely, but the sun wouldn’t vanish. It set now so it could glow even more resplendently tomorrow morning.
“I understand you!”
Yue Rongbo took his hand back. “However, after hearing your words, I don’t want to give up even more. Sun Mo, the door to the Myriad Daos Academy will always be open to you. As long as you are willing to come over, no matter what requests you have, it won’t be a problem. In that case, farewell!”
Yue Rongbo nodded to An Xinhui before he turned to depart.
Sun Mo didn’t say anything. An Xinhui also didn’t know what to say. Hence, the atmosphere was a little awkward now.
“What should I do? Should I act like when I was little and call her elder sister An Xinhui? Or should I call her my wife? But would I be beaten to death if I call her that?”
Sun Mo self-mocked. Although his original self had already died. His memories still contained a deep longing for An Xinhui. Hence, Sun Mo could feel his heart pounding rapidly now.
“Little Momo!”
An Xinhui didn’t like such an atmosphere. Hence, she wanted to break the awkwardness. However, the moment she spoke, she called out Sun Mo’s nickname when he was young.
“What the hell is ‘Little Momo’?”
Sun Mo was astonished. This was so embarrassing!
“Mn?”
An Xinhui started. After that, she lifted her hand and patted Sun Mo’s forehead. “Why? Because you have grown up, you don’t want to recognize me as an elder sister anymore?”
After saying this and doing the action she used to do when they were young, An Xinhui suddenly laughed. This wasn’t an act. It was a smile from the bottom of her heart because she recalled those wonderful times during their childhood.
Sun Mo didn’t know what to say. He could only continue to smile.
“Sun Mo, thank you for staying behind.” After An Xinhui laughed, her tone became solemn and she changed the way she addressed him. “How about it? Please work with me to improve this school, allowing it to return to the ranks of the Nine Greats, alright?”
“Do you believe I can do it?” Sun Mo counter-asked.
“As long as you believed so, you will definitely be able to.”
An Xinhui engaged in sophistry.
“Sister An, your words are very cunning.”
Sun Mo teased her. If An Xinhui truly believed he could help the Central Province Academy to return to the peak of the famous schools in the Nine Provinces, she must be retarded.
An Xinhui was very busy. After exchanging a few more sentences, she bid Sun Mo farewell and departed.
Sun Mo stood at the side of the Sorrowless Lake as he stared at the campus where the night was about to fall. His expression was complicated. “System, can I still return home?”
“If you pass the test of the Absolute Great Teacher System, you can naturally return home to your world!”
The system gave an answer, causing Sun Mo’s spirit to stir.
“How do I pass the test?”
“Complete all the various missions the system issues!”
The system’s explanation was simple and concise.
“That’s no different than not giving an answer.”
Sun Mo furrowed his brows so hard they could crush a crab.
“In that case, set a small target first. In one year, you have to help the Central Province Academy obtain one of the top three rankings in the ‘D’ grade league tournament and successfully rise to the ‘C’ grade.”
The system suggested.
“Are you joking?”
In a year, he wouldn’t have a stable footing in the school yet. From the meaning of Yue Rongbo’s words, the Central Province Academy had two ‘BOSSES’ named Zhang Hanfu and Wang Su.
Ding!
“Mission issued: Within a year, help the Central Province Academy gain one of the top five rankings in the ‘D’ grade league tournament. Reward: 3 diamond treasure chest.”
Very good, the requirements were relaxed by two spots. But what was the use of this? Upon seeing the three diamond treasure chest rewards, he already knew how difficult this mission was.
Sun Mo wanted to hit someone the moment he heard about this mission.
“You should be content. If it wasn’t for me stopping it, you might have been given the mission of making the Central Province Academy rise back to the rankings of the Nine Greats.”
The system expressed, but it had something it didn’t tell Sun Mo.
It was impossible for Sun Mo to leave the Central Province Academy and join Yue Rongbo’s great teacher group. The system would prevent it for sure.
If Sun Mo left, he would be given a death punishment and would be erased.
Back in his world, Sun Mo had been pushed by the female student Zhou Miao into the lake. He didn’t die, but somehow ‘crossed-over’ to the Jinling City of Tang Country. The reason for his crossover was precisely because of the Central Province Academy.
If this academy was removed from the list of famous schools and abolished, Sun Mo would instantly die!
Naturally, the system didn’t feel the need to tell Sun Mo about this.
“Alright, alright, alright! You are the great benefactor!”
Sun Mo pointed a middle-finger at the system. He called out to Lu Zhiruo and they went to the canteen for their meals.
Lu Zhiruo wasn’t a picky eater and ate whatever Sun Mo ordered. It was just that after a few meals, she felt a little embarrassed because Sun Mo had never asked her to pay before.
