Chapter 435: I Depend on My Capabilities for a Living!
âWhat do you mean?â
Zhang Lan frowned and glared over.
The tone of the young man was unfriendly, but he didnât mean to ridicule Zhang Lan. He was very unhappy with the current situation as well. Having waited for two days here, he couldnât even see a strand of fine hair of Great Teacher Jiang. But when Gu Qingyan arrived, he could enter immediately, causing this young man to feel extremely unhappy.
He was being looked down upon!
The gatekeeper allowed Gu Qingyan to enter. What did this mean?
This meant that even if Great Teacher Jiang didnât instruct the gatekeeper, the gatekeeper also knew that a character like Gu Qingyan was someone his master would want to meet.
There was clearly a difference in treatment.
With regard to Zhang Lan, the young man knew he was in the wrong. If it was in usual times, he would apologize, but there was no way he would do so today. There were roughly 100 examinees here. If he apologized now, wouldnât everyone feel that he was a coward?
âIt means whatever you think it means!â
The young man angrily retorted.
The majority of people wanted face. Hence, there would often be verbal conflicts like this especially so under the heat of the sun. Actually, there might not be any major matters. The two parties only started quarreling due to the matter of face.
Clank~
Zhang Lan directly pulled out her curved blade. The shiny edge shone dazzlingly under the sunlight.
âWhat are you doing? Do you want to fight?â
The young man was Wei Lu, and he came here with a bunch of colleagues with whom he had a pretty good relationship. Right now, they were here as well. When they saw this, they immediately rushed over. Clearly, they were planning to advance and retreat together with their friend.
âEveryone, calm down.â
Qian Dun stood out. âTeacher Zhang, this is just a minor matter. Donât hold it to heart!â
âWhat do you mean by calming down? If they want to fight, letâs just fight!â
Gu Xiuxun also had a bellyful of anger from waiting here for over half an hour. This young man was unhappy, but she was unhappy too. She was currently lacking someone she could vent her anger on.
âTeacher Gu, donât make things chaotic!â
Qian Dun was helpless. (You guys are geniuses and donât know fear, but I canât handle this. If a fight really started, should I join in or not? If I didnât join in, how would I be able to show my face around the school in the future?)
(But if I joined, there was an 80 to 90% chance I would be injured. Wouldnât that affect my examination?)
âTeacher Sun, why donât you say something to persuade them?â
Qian Dun glanced at Sun Mo.
Sun Mo didnât expect he would see a group fight here. Somehow, he missed such a feeling. The last time he had participated in a brawl like this was back during junior high school.
âI know you guys are not angry toward us, but your tone is simply too provocative. Just apologize and we will forget about this matter.â
Sun Mo spoke.
He could be considered the group leader of this âgreat teacher circleâ. Since something had happened, he naturally had to take responsibility and step out.
âYou want me to apologize?â
Wei Lu ridiculed. He patted the long blade strapped to his waist. âAsk my blade first!â
The people in the surrounding began to crowd around to observe the situation.
âEh, Great Teacher Jiang?â
Sun Mo suddenly turned his head and looked to the left. After that, he revealed a respectful expression.
Wei Luâs group had been initially glaring at Sun Mo. However, upon seeing this, they hurriedly retracted their expression and turned to look at the gate, preparing to greet Jiang Wei.
âTeacher Sun, this location is right outside Jiang Manor, we canât fight...â
Wang Chao knew how iron-headed Sun Mo was, but sadly, Sun Mo already acted the moment he finished speaking.
Swish~
Sun Mo rushed out.
âOh no!â
Wei Lu was also quite intelligent. The moment he turned his head toward the gate, he cursed silently because he just realized he didnât hear the sound of the gate opening.
One must know that given Jiang Weiâs identity, if he headed out, he would use the main front gate instead of the side gate.
Pak!
Wei Lu subconsciously brandished his weapon, but when his right hand grabbed the bladeâs hilt, a palm strike knocked his hand away.
âItâs too late!â
Sun Mo followed through the momentum and tugged out the long blade strapped to Wei Luâs waist. After that, he exerted force with his wrist and unsheathed the long blade half-way, placing it on Wei Luâs neck.
How swift!
Upon seeing this, all the spectators were stunned. Half of them silently understood that they wouldnât be able to handle Sun Moâs sneak attack.
This indicated that if they encountered Sun Mo in the examination, they would inevitably lose.
âHe most probably is at the sixth level or seventh level of the blood-ignition realm!â
âHe might be very proficient in movement arts!â
âBut that attack was really impressive!â
The surrounding teachers mumbled and started to survey Sun Mo seriously.
Wei Luâs group all had extremely ugly expressions. This was especially so for Wei Lu. His large face directly flushed from anger as he roared, âYou used a trick!â
âItâs clearly because you are stupid!â
Gu Xiuxun spoke in disdain. But Sun Mo was really inwardly evil to actually pull off such a scheme. (I have to be careful in the future and mustnât be swindled by him.)
Zhang Lan was unable to restrain a smile on her face. Black Doggy Sun, as expected of his reputation. His heart was so âfilthyâ!
âYou...â
Gu Xiuxun was very pretty. Although her chest was a little small, she had a pair of long legs. Being held in contempt by such a beauty made Wei Lu so angry that he wanted to kill.
âAi!â
Wang Chao sighed.
âJust admit it, Iâve never seen Teacher Sun blasting people before, but following him is so satisfying!â
Qian Dun sighed emotionally. By following Sun Mo, he would surely not be the one suffering a setback. How satisfying.
âIt seems that I have to ask for your opinion if I want your owner to apologize!â
Sun Mo made a gesture at the long blade on Wei Luâs neck as though he was listening to it. âWhat do you think?â
(Are you mocking me? You are definitely mocking me, right?)
Wei Luâs lungs were about to explode from anger. This was especially so when he heard everyone in the surroundings laughing. He completely had no face left.
âThis teacher, your blade doesnât seem to know how to speak!â
Sun Mo shrugged. âIn that case, there must be something wrong with your brain. You should go and treat it, or it would be too late for regrets if you became a retard.â
âYou are then the retard, your whole family are r...â
Wei Lu wasnât able to complete the sentence because the long blade was now placed directly on his throat. The ice-cold feeling of the bladeâs edge caused his fine hairs to stand at their ends. He even felt the urge to urinate.
âHaha!â
The spectators burst out in laughter.
âWanting to fight me? No problem, but you have to apologize to my colleague first!â
Sun Moâs expression turned solemn.
âSorry, I was in the wrong!â
After Wei Lu spoke to Zhang Lan, he turned to Sun Mo. âIs that fine now?â
Swish~
Sun Mo moved his finger and turned the blade around, handing it to Wei Lu by its hilt.
Pak!
Wei Lu grabbed the blade hilt and roared, âWei Lu from Liang City, please guide me!â
âTeacher Sun, this battle is mine!â
Just when Zhang Lan stood out, before anything else could happen, an imposing-sounding voice echoed out loud in reprimand, along with the trotting sounds of hooves.
âWhat are you guys doing?â
Jiang Zhitong tugged at the reins and stopped his horse before the gate.
âTeacher Jiang!â
The group of people hurriedly bowed.
This thirty-nine-ish-looking man was Jiang Weiâs second son and he was already a 3-star great teacher. He was currently employed by the Saint Gate and had outstanding strength. Moreover, he was one of the examiners for this exam.
âYou guys are so young yet so keen to duke it out? What do you think this place is?â
Jiang Zhitong reprimanded.
âTeacher Jiang, we know our mistakes!â
Wei Luâs group hurriedly bowed and lowered their heads in apology.
Over at the Central Province Academyâs side, Qian Dun and Wang Chao also apologized. Gu Xiuxun lowered her head but didnât admit her mistake. As for Sun Mo and Zhang Lan, they didnât even lower their heads.
Jiang Zhitongâs eyes narrowed slightly. He naturally wouldnât berate Sun Mo and Zhang Lan because of this bit of impoliteness, but he definitely would feel a bit unhappy.
âBeing able to change yourself when knowing you are in the wrong is good!â
After Jiang Zhitong spoke, he immediately got off his horse and returned home. There was a stablehand who came out to lead his horse in. As for that middle-aged gatekeeper, he opened the side gate and respectfully welcomed Jiang Zhitong home.
âAs the gatekeeper, what the hell are you doing? There was a conflict right outside our manorâs gate, donât you know how to scold them?â
Jiang Zhitong was very angry.
(My Jiang Clan is also considered a major clan. In the end, a bunch of young people are fighting outside our manor? What would others make of this? Where is the prestige of my Jiang Clan?)
âThis slave knows his mistake!â
The gatekeeper hurriedly knelt and apologized.
âHalf a month of your salary will be deducted. If something like this happens again, you can go and kneel at the back gate!â
Jiang Zhitong was very strict in disciplining the people of his manor. This was especially so recently. Because of the 1-star great teacher examination, many virtuous and prestigious great teachers came to Guangling. Hence, Jiang Zhitong didnât want anyone from his clan to screw things up, or others might feel that he wasnât able to control his subordinates well.
âClan leader, Gu Qingyan is here!â
A maid came over and reported in a low voice after taking off Jiang Zhitongâs outer coat.
âGot it!â
Jiang Zhitong stood up and walked to the living room.
âClan leader, should we get those teachers to head back first?â
The gatekeeper asked.
If it was during ordinary times, Jiang Zhitong would have sent them back, but not today. âLet them continue waiting!â
If these examinees really revered the Jiang Clan in their hearts, they wouldnât have made trouble here and would have waited solemnly and silently.
âThey really donât know the rules!â
Jiang Zhitong shook his head. The current generation of youngsters was even worse than the previous generationâs.
...
The people of the two parties split apart.
âWhy did Teacher Jiang have to see that?â
Wei Lu felt so depressed that he wanted to cough up blood. This time, he had truly suffered a huge setback in the hands of Sun Mo.
The others also had worried looks on their faces. Although they knew that Jiang Zhitong most probably wouldnât make things difficult for them in the exam, they still couldnât help but feel worried!
âTeacher Sun, you are really iron-headed!â
Gu Xiuxun watched the closing gate and couldnât help but tease, âLowering your head and putting up an act wouldnât have cost you anything. Who told you to be so iron-headed? Are you not afraid that Jiang Zhitong will remember you?â
âItâs fine.â
Sun Moâs lips twitched. âWell, I depend on my capabilities for a living!â
Sun Mo was used to it. When he attended university, he had seen teachers with even worse tempers.
If you made the slightest mistake, those teachers would unleash a torrent of abuse on you.
Sun Mo understood why Jiang Zhitong was so angry. People from major clans naturally wanted some face. (By fighting outside their residence, doesnât that mean that you have no regard for them in your eyes?)
âYou people from the Central Plains have so many rules!â
Zhang Lanâs lips twitched.
âIs that Gu Qingyan very famous?â
Sun Mo was curious.
âHe is the number one graduate from Skyraise Academy this year and a candidate to be their future headmaster. He is qualified to train in the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art, and he is already confirmed to hold the number one ranking in the Great Teacher Heroes Ranking. Tell me, is he famous or not?â
Wang Chao stated a few titles and all of them were weighty enough to scare someone to death.
âIf you want to hear all his titles and glorious deeds, we have to spend five minutes to properly tell you everything!â
Qian Dun then added, âIs he impressive or not?â
âImpressive, impressive... but he isnât as handsome as Sun Mo!â
Gu Xiuxun giggled.
âThatâs true.â
Zhang Lan nodded. Gu Qingyan wasnât ugly and could be said to be a little good-looking. However, this was in comparison to normal people. If he stood beside Sun Mo, there was no need to compare them at all.
Also, Sun Moâs appearance when he had acted earlier was truly cool. He showed the spirit a group leader ought to have!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Zhang Lan +50. Friendly (350/1,000).
â...â
Qian Dun was speechless. As expected, women were shallow creatures. They completely didnât understand that a man was charming only because of his talents.
Qian Dun couldnât help but look toward Sun Mo. After that, he immediately retracted his thoughts. There was no solution to it. Comparing talents, Sun Mo wasnât in any way inferior either.
âWhich one of you wants to leave?â
Sun Mo no longer wanted to wait.
Qian Dun was badly frightened and hurriedly stopped him. âWe canât leave now or trouble will definitely happen!â
