Absolute Great Teacher-Novel2

Chapter 1012: How Could Accepting a Personal Student Like This Not Be Good?

Translator: Lordbluefire

“Master, you mustn’t blame me for speaking too much. I’m also thinking on behalf of our Zhou Clan!”

After the old butler spoke, he knelt with a thud and kowtowed heavily before he continued.

“It’s true that Great Teacher Sun is extremely famous. If our young master’s body was injured due to training in certain cultivation arts, we could go and beg him for help. But right now, Divine Doctor Feng said that our young master is poisoned!”

The butler sighed. “Great Teacher Sun not only doesn’t have ‘doctor’ as one of his titles, but he also doesn’t have experience in poison studies. His expertise in the study of spirit runes might not be bad, but spirit runes cannot save our young master, right?

“Our clan wouldn’t view Great Teacher Sun with hostility because of Li Ziqi, but he is now viewing us with hostility because of her.

“Naturally, I feel that the most important reason is that Great Teacher Sun basically has no solution. Rather than trying and failing, he might as well choose not to come. Other than being able to maintain the prestige of God Hands, he can also scold me to vent his anger.”

The surrounding great teachers were all stunned.

(Damn! His tongue is pretty glib. All the reasons the butler listed out sound logical.) action

(As expected of someone who could become the great butler of the Zhou Clan. His words alone could kill!)

Zhou Xingtong sank into conflict.

For things like gifts, no matter how valuable they were, others would always send them to their clan as long as his father was still around. Hence, what Zhou Xingtong cared about was the face of his clan.

Just like what the old butler had said, if they couldn’t get Sun Mo to help despite asking him, the gains wouldn’t make up for the losses.

“Divine Doctor Feng…”

Zhou Xingtong decided that he still wanted to seek out the opinions of the professionals.

“If my luck is good, I need at least three days to get the first correct diagnosis. At that time, even if Wenbin didn’t die, his body would be damaged.”

Divine Doctor Feng sighed.

Poison had always been the most troublesome thing to resolve.

Since no one had any idea what the poison was, they would naturally not have a solution for it.

“Go and prepare the gifts!”

Zhou Xingtong couldn’t bear to lose this ‘rare thousand li horse’.

“Old master!” The butler tried to persuade him again.

“Go quickly!” Zhou Xingtong urged.

When Liang Hongda saw this, he was badly shocked. This old dog actually was ignoring Zhou Wenbin’s condition for the sake of striking at Sun Mo.

This meant that in his heart, the life of his young master wasn’t as important as his own face.

Truly, a ‘crafty slave’!

Liang Hongda heard some stories before. A few crafty slaves actually schemed and caused their owners to die in the end. They then forcefully seized their owner’s wives and lands.

It was just that no one had expected that the famous Zhou Clan would have such a rotten slave.

But it wasn’t strange. After all, in history, some subjects had even played an emperor in the palm of their hands.

…

Very soon, Zhou Xingtong brought a large group of people and went to the Swallow Phoenix Inn.

Although Boss Li was preparing to clear the area, how would he dare to obstruct a major character like Zhou Xingtong? He even had to accompany him.

They then went up the stairs.

Their noisy footsteps broke Tong Xugao’s train of thought and caused him to roar out in frustration immediately.

“Can you guys keep it down?”

“Teacher Tong, it has been many years since we last met. How have you been?”

Zhou Xingtong squeezed out a smile.

“Teacher Zhou?”

Tong Xugao was astonished.

“For the sake of my little grandchild’s safety, please forgive me if I have offended you!”

Zhou Xingtong clasped his fists and his gaze drifted toward Sun Mo.

Ze!

Even if he felt no good will toward this person, Zhou Xingtong had to admit that Sun Mo was really handsome.

Just based on his looks, many people would surely be fond of him.

Yet, other than looks, this man was also overflowing with talent and was already famous despite being at such a young age.

“This must be Teacher Sun, right?”

Zhou Xingtong smiled politely, yet his gaze swept past the notebook in Tong Xugao’s hand with some puzzlement.

Why did he feel that Tong Xugao was taking notes?

Shouldn’t things be the opposite?

Sun Mo clasped his hands and couldn’t even be bothered to smile politely.

“Teacher Sun, there might be some misunderstanding between us. I came personally this time in order to explain things. As for Ziqi, we have no intention of humiliating her. It is just that…”

Zhou Xingtong paused, considering what he should say.

“It is just that you guys don’t feel she would amount to anything much?”

Sun Mo’s lips twitched.

(You guys only explain when you need me to help? Why didn’t I see you guys paying me a visit before this incident?)

“Teacher Sun, your words are being too much of a bully.”

Zhou Xingtong bitterly smiled. “You are a great teacher too and should understand that when it comes to the matter of accepting a personal student, it not only depends on the fact that both parties have to be willing, but the compatibility of the teacher and student is also necessary.

“My father didn’t look down on Li Ziqi. He only felt that he wouldn’t be able to teach her. And if he accepted her, he might delay her future progress.”

In truth, Secondary Saint Zhou’s thoughts weren’t like this. He purely felt that Li Ziqi’s aptitude was too shitty. If not, as long as she had the slightest bit of talent, how would he have chased her away?

She was a princess of Great Tang, how could accepting such a personal student not be good?

Qin Yaoguang immediately shook her head when she heard this. She asked Li Ziqi, “Eldest Martial Sister, is that true?”

Li Ziqi looked at Zhou Xingtong with her little fists clenched up.

“Nope!”

Li Ziqi gritted her teeth in anger.

At that time, Secondary Saint Zhou merely took a glance at her and asked her to execute a few martial moves. He then immediately advised her to give up on cultivation and simply relax and be a princess, living in luxury until the end of her life.

“Your talent cannot inherit my dreams!”

Even now, Li Ziqi remembered this sentence.

The volume of the little sunny egg’s voice wasn’t loud, but what characters were currently present here?

Their listening prowess was extraordinarily sharp!

Zhou Xingtong immediately felt extremely awkward and also somewhat annoyed.

(Doesn’t this Li Ziqi know respect?)

“Let’s not mention this matter anymore. Everyone understands what happened then!”

Sun Mo rose to his feet. “Teacher Tong, I wish to leave now.”

“Ah?” Tong Xugao’s expression turned ashen. “It is still early…”

“I’m tired!”

Sun Mo shrugged.

“How about tomorrow? If Teacher Sun is free, I wish to pay you a visit. How about at 5 a.m? Ah...that’s too early. How about 6 a.m?”

Tong Xugao gazed at Sun Mo and was like a little boy waiting in anticipation for the girl he liked to agree to go for a walk with him.

“6 a.m. is also too early!”

Sun Mo bitterly smiled. He had been working hard for a while and really felt like having a good sleep.

Ai!

If it wasn’t for the fact that his students were all around, Sun Mo really felt like visiting the brothels of Song An Prefecture for a look. (I have so much money, but I still have to stay in my room alone. What’s going on? My little birdy is so lonely!)

Zhou Xingtong was stunned. (So Tong Xugao was consulting Sun Mo and taking notes?)

(Is your title as a 7-star fake?)

“Old master, since even Great Teacher Sun isn’t confident, why don’t we forget about it?”

The old butler persuaded.

“How do you know my teacher isn’t confident?”

Lu Zhiruo was unhappy.

“Old dog, your attitude is infuriating!”

Qin Yaoguang started scolding.

“Old dog, if you still dare to insult my teacher, I will kill you!”

Helian Beifang was already clutching his blade hilt and was preparing to step forward.

“Look at this! Old master, what sort of students are they?”

The old butler was so angry that even his hands were trembling.

Even before Sun Mo could speak, Tong Xugao already couldn’t continue watching.

“Teacher Zhou, let me cordially persuade you. This butler of yours is like a dog relying on its master’s might. He doesn’t even want to place a new rising superstar in his eyes. If this continues on, the bearing of your Zhou Clan would all be lost by him.”

Tong Xugao was truly sincere. Hence, Priceless Advice activated.

After seeing this scene, the old butler knew he was in for it.

As expected, Zhou Xingtong’s gaze turned cold.

There was no need to ask anymore. Previously, it must have been the old butler that slighted Sun Mo intentionally and caused Sun Mo to be so angry.

“Slap yourself!”

Zhou Xingtong made the decision and decided to do this to let Sun Mo vent his anger.

“Ah?” The old butler was stunned.

“Slap yourself!”

Zhou Xingtong roared in rage. (For the sake of my grandson, I can only sacrifice you.)

Under the gaze of Zhou Xingtong, the old butler had no choice. He could lift his hands and slap himself.

Pak! Pak! Pak!

Boss Li and the manager were both truly stunned when they saw this scene.

Was Sun Mo’s prestige so great?

“Wow, are you guys from the Zhou Clan bullying your servant? Look at his slaps, they are so weak. Are you guys intentionally starving them?”

Qin Yaoguang teased.

Zhou Xingtong frowned and berated.

“Use more force!”

The old butler felt so angry that his lungs hurt. However, he had no choice and could only continue slapping himself harder.

Not long later, the corner of his lips was cracked.

“Alright, don’t hit yourself anymore. If others saw this, they might assume that I’m an arrogant and despotic person.” Sun Mo shook his head.

(Sun Mo. Just wait, I will definitely get revenge for this.)

“Teacher Sun, you are also a great teacher and should place the safety of students as your first priority. Could it be that you are planning to stand aside when they are in danger?”

Zhou Xingtong questioned.

“Teacher Sun, if you have the ability to help, why don’t you just do them a favor and go to take a look?”

Tong Xugao acted as a mediator.

It was best not to offend a powerful clan like them. Hence, Tong Xugao felt that it would be better if Sun Mo took the chance to make them owe him a favor.

“My Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands is only useful for certain illnesses. For something like saving people, you should look for a doctor!”

Just after Sun Mo finished speaking, the system notification rang out in his mind.

Ding!

“Mission issued: Cure Zhou Wenbin and find the mastermind. Receive at least 10,000 favorable impression points from Zhou Xingtong.”

“Teacher Sun, what else do you want me to do?” Zhou Xingtong counter-asked, “Beat this slave to death? If you want to vent your anger, feel free to do so personally!”

The old butler shivered as tears filled his face.

“Old master!”

This voice was tinged with extreme grief.

“I got my old servant who has followed me for quite a few decades to humiliate himself and apologize to you. Could it be that this is still not sufficient to prove my sincerity?”

Zhou Xingtong’s anger was also rising.

It had never been so difficult for his Zhou Clan to seek help from someone before.

The old butler knew of the personality of his little master. Upon hearing this, he relaxed.

He knew his master was starting to dislike this Black Doggy Sun.

Sun Mo looked at Li Ziqi, and the little sunny egg lowered her head.

“Teacher Zhou, please wait!” Sun Mo spoke.

Swish~

Everyone couldn’t help but sigh. As expected, Sun Mo wasn’t able to withstand the power of the Zhou Clan and was preparing to compromise.

“Would Teacher go and save Zhou Wenbin?”

Xianyu Wei felt somewhat nervous.

In the eyes of people from the plains, their targets of love and hatred were clear. Since the Zhou Clan was an enemy, Sun Mo shouldn’t save him.

“Definitely not, that person is an enemy of our eldest martial sister.”

Even Helian Beifang felt like slashing that old butler to death.

“That might not be certain. Zhou Wenbin is innocent after all. And once our teacher heads there, even if he couldn’t cure Zhou Wenbin, the Zhou Clan would owe our teacher a favor.”

Tantai Yutang analyzed it in a rational manner.

“Stop arguing guys!”

Jiang Leng stopped them and cast a glance at Li Ziqi.

Their eldest martial sister’s heart should be quite chaotic now.

“That’s correct!”

Tong Xugao patted Sun Mo’s shoulders with gratification. As a great teacher, one should have magnanimity. “Go and come back quickly, if you have any troubles, you can look for me!”

“Heh!”

Zhou Xingtong coldly laughed in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. He halted his steps and turned around to look at Sun Mo.. He stretched out his hand in invitation. “Please follow me!”
