Chapter 848 - Great Teacher’s Bearing, Respect for the Wise!
Chapter 848: Great Teacher’s Bearing, Respect for the Wise!
Bang!
The table shook from the impact of the bang, causing the soup in the pot to splash about.
“Who dares view you with disdain? Tell me and I will fire all of them!”
Murong Ye’s words were filled with killing intent.
At the same time, it also showed his respect for Sun Mo and his desire to headhunt him at all costs.
One must know that those who could enter a supreme-tier famous school had to spend huge amounts of energy and effort. If they were expelled, that would be a taint in their lifetime.
It was still okay for the students. They could use the excuse that they were young and ignorant. But great teachers would never be able to find another school to accept them.
This was another hidden rule of the great teacher circle.
Someone that a supreme-tier school didn’t want. From this, one could very well imagine how great of a blemish it was with regard to that person’s reputation. Although some headmasters might covet their talent and choose to hire them, one mustn’t forget that there was a competition among colleagues. As long as someone exposed this fact, that person’s reputation would be destroyed forever.
Who would be willing to take on a fired teacher as a personal teacher?
One could say that Dark Dawn had many great teachers, but their teachers were all expelled ones and belonged to existences that had experienced ‘social deaths’.
Sun Mo shook his head.
Let alone racial discrimination, there were even several cases of area discrimination. No matter in which world, this was a world-level problem.
“That is why I need Teacher Sun to help me.”
Murong Ye stared at Sun Mo sincerely. “The talent of great teachers nurtures and educates the heroes of the next generations. We are like a lighthouse, pointing to the direction those heroes ought to advance in.
“Don’t you feel that the status of great teachers is too low? Why are we below dukes, marquises, and children of nobility? How would they know how to govern a country and nurture their citizens? They are merely blood-suckers that crawl on top of the country’s body and its citizens.
“Look at this world. How much hunger and how many disputes are there? How many people are frittering their time away? Being able to live healthily is a blessing, hence, I feel that human beings shouldn’t let ‘life’ down.
“We as great teachers should educate these people and allow them to shine resplendently in their lives, akin to fireworks that are gorgeous and magnificent.”
Murong Ye suddenly started an impromptu speech, causing Sun Mo to be stunned.
“Teacher Sun, don’t you feel that this world should be under the governance of great teachers? Letting those fellows as stupid as pigs govern the world is undoubtedly equivalent to strangling the lives of everyone and throttling the future of the world. Teacher Sun, join my great teacher circle! Let us fight for this ideal!”
Murong Ye had an agitated look on his face as he stretched out his right hand toward Sun Mo.
This explanation by Murong Ye was quite logical.
Those rulers, those kings who inherited their positions through the generations, even if they didn’t have fitting talent, they could still remain high-up and lofty because they ‘inherited’ their statuses and the bloodline.
This was inexcusable. In this system, even if your son was a useless and incompetent fool, you had no choice but to hand your wealth down to him.
However, the wealth of a clan belonged to the clan, but the wealth of a country belonged to everyone, to each citizen.
“After the young hero kills the demon king, he becomes the new demon king. What if there really comes a day when you have achieved your ideal, and great teachers are the ones governing the world? How would you guarantee that the great teachers wouldn’t be corrupted by power and authority? Educating the people into ‘obedient sheeps’?”
Sun Mo counter-asked.
Murong Ye’s eyes brightened. (This question is tough. As expected of someone I regard highly.) Hence, Murong Ye’s expression turned solemn as he replied.
“Implement supervision and control, splitting apart education, law enforcement, and legislation.”
After hearing Murong Ye speaking frankly with assurance, Sun Mo was dumbfounded. He almost blurted out and asked, ‘Bro, are you also someone who traversed worlds?’
(Your thinking is so ahead of the times!)
“How about it?”
After Murong Ye spoke, he stared at Sun Mo with excitement, wanting him to evaluate it.
“The idea isn’t bad, but it’s too difficult to realize it.”
Sun Mo bitterly smiled as he shook his head. In the modern era, he had seen too many laws. No matter how ‘perfect’ they were, as long as those executing the laws were humans, there would be loopholes.
“Teacher Sun, you are so young, why are you so pessimistic?”
Murong Ye frowned and felt a little unhappy. “Even if what we face at the end of the journey is a failure, we should still take this path. Only then would later generations need not waste time on mistakes and could continue searching for the correct path.”
“We, great teachers, should be pioneers for the future.”
Bzz!
A golden light illuminated the area.
Priceless Advice was activated.
The golden glow shone on Sun Mo’s face. One couldn’t help but admit that Murong Ye’s ambitions were vast and lofty, and he was very eloquent as well.
“Compared to you, my ideal is really somewhat insignificant.”
Sun Mo had a self-mocking smile. “However, I know my own limits. I only want to let the Central Province Academy become a good school and allow students to understand the world. I dream that they can find their true dreams and work hard for them, becoming people who wouldn’t waste their lives away.
“Headmaster Murong, I approve of your words. It’s truly very fortunate for people to be able to be born, and each person is also unique. Hence, my ideal is simply to let all my students be able to lead a fascinating life.”
Under Sun Mo’s gentle voice, a golden light also emitted from him.
Priceless Advice was activated.
Sun Mo was also free of guilt and had a clear conscience. As a young man, he hadn’t reached the point where he was ‘chewed’ to death by the ‘old dog’ which was society. His hot blood hadn’t cooled yet.
(Changing this world?)
(It’s too difficult!)
(I think I better start by changing a student’s life!)
When he thought of Li Ziqi who tried to commit suicide by jumping into a lake after being rejected by a secondary saint, the silly Lu Zhiruo who continued cultivating assiduously and believed that she would be able to become someone her father would view in a good light, or Helian Beifang who had traveled to the Central Plains alone, handing his future to him…
Sun Mo felt that in the two years since he arrived in this world, life had been substantial and meaningful.
“…”
Murong Ye felt Sun Mo’s will from Priceless Advice and fell silent.
State an offer?
Don’t joke, even if he offered a heavenly price, it would be an insult to Sun Mo.
Great Teachers had large dreams akin to Mount. Tai or the great ocean. How could something like money or treasures shake their will?
“Headmaster Murong, I enjoyed this meal very much. I also feel very honored to be able to know a great teacher like you with such grand aspirations.”
Sun Mo rose and gave a slight bow.
“I still have lectures this afternoon, so I will take my leave first.”
He had rejected him. If he continued staying, things would be awkward. Hence, it was better for him to take his leave.
Just when Sun Mo walked out of the room and moved a few steps away, the sound of the notification rang out in his ears.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Murong Ye +1,000. Respect (1,350/10,000).
Sun Mo suddenly smiled. Murong Ye truly had a great teacher’s bearing. As expected of someone capable enough to become a vice headmaster of the Dragon Subduing Academy.
…
In the room next door, Duanmu Li held a wine flask and was drinking alone. He had guessed that Sun Mo would reject it, but he didn’t manage to guess at Sun Mo’s reason.
It was truly unique.
It was lucky because the great teacher world had people like Sun Mo, or it would be too boring.
Hence, Sun Mo had better not die too young!
Si!
Duanmu Li drank a mouthful of wine and frowned. Sun Mo had deciphered the Battlegod Canyon and obtained the Battlegod Catalog. In that case, if he learned the ancient dragon language, he might really be able to comprehend the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture.
However, since he had rejected Murong Ye, it meant that he no longer had an opportunity to learn the ancient dragon language.
…
Murong Ye was still conflicted as he finished drinking a pot of wine.
He admired Sun Mo and wanted to teach him the ancient dragon language. But doing so would be breaking the school rules.
(Difficult!)
Murong Ye sighed and stood up. He then walked to the window and wanted to look at the scenery to ease his emotions. Yet, he actually saw Sun Mo and Xianyu Wei.
This girl who was still very fat half a month ago had lost quite a bit of weight. Following Sun Mo, she was constantly jotting down Sun Mo’s words in her notebook. She would also occasionally nod and seriously listen to Sun Mo’s words.
This scene directly caused Murong Ye to break out into loud laughter.
“Haha, earlier I still said that I wanted great teachers to govern the world and be lighthouses that pointed the way for people to grow. But because of the school rules, I refused to teach the dragon language to Sun Mo. I’m truly slapping my own face.”
Murong Ye, who had thought things through, left the dining area directly to chase after Sun Mo.
On the way leading to the library…
“Teacher, is the vice headmaster formally employing you since he’s treating you to a meal?”
Xianyu Wei felt very happy. If that was the case, she would be able to keep following Sun Mo and learn from him.
During these few days, she had been eating her meals with Sun Mo. But today, she felt embarrassed to enter the room Murong Ye booked, hence, she missed out on a meal.
“Cultivate hard, don’t be concerned about all of this.”
Sun Mo changed the topic.
“Teacher, I know even if you don’t tell me. You will surely be able to stay behind unless the various headmasters are blind.”
After Xianyu Wei finished speaking, she hesitated.
“What’s wrong?”
Sun Mo asked.
“Teacher, I know you are someone from the Central Plains and there would surely be people viewing you with hostility. But I feel that with your capabilities, you will definitely be able to establish your might in this place. So, can you please not leave?”
Xianyu Wei sincerely pleaded.
From the view of this fat girl, given Sun Mo’s talent, he would definitely be able to get employed if he went to the other Nine Greats. But what about her then?
Leaving the grassy plains?
Xianyu Wei had never thought of this possibility before.
“Xianyu, humans would always have to face the unknown future. Don’t be afraid…”
Before Sun Mo could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
“Teacher Sun, please wait!”
Murong Ye hurried over.
“Vice headmaster!”
Xianyu Wei hurriedly rose to greet him.
“This is for you!”
Murong Ye passed a book to Sun Mo.
“What is this?”
Sun Mo held it casually.
“Ancient dragon language. Without it, you won’t be able to communicate with the souls of ancient giant dragons.”
Murong Ye explained.
He didn’t get Xianyu Wei to go to the side because this was not something that needed to be kept a secret. Since he wanted to do so, he should do it openly. Even if bad consequences came about, he would accept them and not feel regret.
“What?”
When Xianyu Wei heard the words, she was stunned. Her eyes widened and she glanced at that book.
Her heart pounded rapidly, so agitated that she felt like she was about to die.
(As expected, my teacher is so outstanding!)
(He actually managed to make Headmaster Murong take out such valuable knowledge to give to him!)
