Chapter 1278: This Damnable Old Man Is Very Naughty!


Translator: Lordbluefire


Jixia Academy was famous, so even without Lu Zhiruo introducing it, the others knew as well.


The most famous building in this supreme-tier school was known as the Myriad Saint Learning Palace.


Back then, every single great teacher wanted to lecture here. Gradually, this became a custom. So, once a great teacher became a saint, they would come to this place and give a lecture.


Lecture to who?


All the former sages of the past!


If they lectured well, the content of their classes would automatically become a record. It would then transform into the lecturer’s name and be engraved upon the walls and last there forever.


As great teachers, who didn’t want to leave their name behind in history?


But in reality, it wasn’t so simple.


Firstly, if one wanted to enter the Myriad Saint Learning Palace, they had to walk through the long corridor first.


The two sides of the long corridor contained a total of 18 saint statues. If the great teachers who walked through the corridor had temperaments and external appearances that weren’t up to the standard, the door to the learning palace wouldn’t open for them.


A few great teachers in the Nine Provinces liked dressing casually in tattered clothes, ignoring their appearances as they wanted to show that they were above formality. Before the Myriad Saint Learning Palace, people like them would never be able to enter.


For light cases, they would be asked to leave. For heavy cases, the saint statues might even cast punishment-type halos to punish them.


At this moment, Sun Mo stood before the Myriad Saint Learning Palace, which looked extremely ordinary to the eye.


It was said that in early times, this was just an ordinary building. After that, because it got undaunted by the knowledge and aura of many saints, the building gradually became its current appearance.


The saint statues on both sides of the corridor looked holy and solemn, causing people to feel an impulse to bow and worship them.


“Teacher Sun, do you want to go in and give a lecture?”


‘Wei Ziyou, who accompanied Sun Mo on the tour through the school, teased.


“I thought you have to be a secondary saint at the very least before you are permitted to enter?”


Mei Ziyu was beside Sun Mo. Hence, he wasn’t unfamiliar with this info.


“The people of the world would always be partial to geniuses!”


Wei Ziyou glanced at Sun Mo with much admiration. “You can become an exception!”


‘When Sun Mo’s students heard Saint Wei speaking so nicely to Sun Mo, all of them felt very honored.


“Teacher, why don’t you give it a try?”


Lu Zhiruo pleaded.


Pak!


Li Ziqi lightly patted the papaya girl on her back, indicating for her not to speak recklessly.


“Awu, Eldest Martial Sister, why did you hit me?”


Lu Zhiruo felt a little wronged.


“Don’t speak nonsense, what if our teacher fails?”


The little sunny egg was worried.


“Teacher will never fail!”


Lu Zhiruo spoke boldly and confidently.


The others were speechless. It was always better to be safe than sorry. Right now, the fame of their teacher was like the sun in the sky, and he couldn’t afford any failure. Hence, there was basically no need for him to take the risk at all.


It wouldn’t be too late to come again after becoming a secondary saint.


“Good morning, Headmaster!”


The students passing by bowed respectfully upon seeing Wei Ziyou. After these strangers walked past, they then continued to glance and mumble.


“Who is this person? He actually could get the headmaster to show him around?”


“He is so young, he should be a direct descendant of some famous aristocratic clan, right?”


“Stop talking nonsense, even if the clan lord of those aristocratic clans came, our headmaster wouldn’t need to accompany them. Do you think saints are people that are easily seen, like peddlers on the street trying to sell a tea-leaf egg?”


The curiosity of the students was about to explode forth.


“This place is the Heart Distinguishing Tower!”


The headmaster stood below a maple tree with red leaves and introduced a wooden building not far away that was built by the lake.


It had a total of seven levels. It wasn’t large nor majestic, but it exuded a feeling of precious jade and felt very exquisite.


“The Heart Distinguishing Tower can allow you to know yourself. After living a lifetime, if you still cannot see yourself clearly, you won’t be able to ascend to the top.”


Lu Zhiruo exposed.


“From your words, it seems that you have climbed this building before?”


Helian Beifang asked.


“Mn, I did so once when I was very young. But I didn’t even pass a single level.”


The papaya girl scratched her head, feeling very embarrassed.


From her point of view, it was a fool’s performance.


“The Heart Distinguishing Tower can let you understand yourself clearly. Teacher Sun, do you want to give it a try?”


‘Wei Ziyou teased. “Even for me, I can only reach the fifth level. I’ve never seen the scenery at the top before!”


“It’s fine!”


Sun Mo rejected. In life, it was better to be ‘stable’.


The third magical building of the Jixia Academy was none other than the Heaven-Ask Library.


The was the publicly acknowledged largest library with the most book collection in the entire Nine Provinces. In this place, many rare and authentic manuscripts could be found, and they were all priceless treasures.


“Teacher Sun, you are a Dual-Sage in Calligraphy and Painting, shouldn’t you leave behind an ink treasure and allow it to be stored in my Heaven-Ask Library? In the future, the latter generations will be able to admire it.”


‘Wei Ziyou clasped his hands toward Sun Mo.


“How can any products of mine enter the eyes of a saint?”


Sun Mo was modest.


“Premier Zheng is an honest official and open-minded man, but he’s a muddle-headed fool when it comes to painting and calligraphy.”


Wei Ziyou sighed. “I sent a few private letters to persuade him to give your famous paintings to the Heaven-Ask Library. By doing so, more people would be able to look at them. However, he rejected me.”


“Is your library open to everyone?”


Sun Mo changed the topic.


“Naturally, all teachers and students of the school can enter and read freely!”


Wei Ziyou explained. “However, the isolated valuable collections are an exception. It’s the same for some of the more valuable books. Readers have to get three great teachers to be their guarantors before they can borrow the book.”


Sun Mo nodded, indicating that he could understand. However, such rules already pushed those weaker students or those with lousy social connections away.


After all, everyone’s nature was to seek luck and avoid calamity. The great teachers definitely wouldn’t be guarantors for these people.


The little sunny egg twitched her lips. (I’m going to build the largest library in the Nine Provinces, and one can borrow the book or read the book based on contribution points. By doing so, even inferior students can learn incredible knowledge.)


“There are two books in this library that’s extremely strange. One mustn’t be read, the other one would make you fall into a mesmerized state the moment you read it.”


Lu Zhiruo revealed again.


“Hehe, this little friend knows quite a lot!”


‘Wei Ziyou smiled kindly and invited Sun Mo again. “Teacher Sun, do you want to go and take a look at the book that shouldn’t be read?”


Sun Mo shook his head.


(This damn old man is very naughty, he’s definitely scheming against me!)


‘Wei Ziyou was extremely patient and accompanied Sun Mo to tour the school. He even brought Sun Mo to view places like the dorms and warehouses.


“What is he trying to do?”


Xianyu Wei didn’t understand. “He seems to be making arrangements in the event he is no longer here? Could it be that he wants our teacher to succeed him as the headmaster?”


“What are you blindly talking about?”


Li Ziqi shot her hand over and covered her junior martial sister’s mouth. (My heavens, do you know how terrifying the hearing of saints is?)


They ate their lunch in the canteen.


“Try this simmer-fried carp. How is its taste?”


Wei Ziyou amicably picked up some food for Sun Mo and put them in his bowl.


“Delicious!”


Sun Mo smiled.


“Since it’s delicious, do you want to stay here? In the future, you can always enjoy such delicious foods!”


Wei Ziyou snuck a dissatisfied glance at Mei Ziyu. (Do you know how to act as a good granddaughter? Quickly help me up and make Sun Mo stay here. If he does, our school’s future for 300 years will be secured.)


“Saint must be joking!”


Sun Mo tactfully declined.


‘Wei Ziyou also knew that this couldn’t be rushed, so after hinting once, he no longer continued. Instead, he kept picking up food and placed it in Sun Mo’s bowl. After lunch and after drinking a cup of tea to aid in digestion, he brought them to the Combat Hall.


This was Sun Mo’s first day here. If Wei Ziyou wanted him to give lectures right away, it would be too rude. However, if he didn’t make good use of this number one great teacher of the Nine Provinces, Wei Ziyou would feel that he had suffered a disadvantage. Hence, he decided to bring Sun Mo to the


Combat Hall.


Naturally, he wanted to take the chance to test Sun Mo’s mettle.


After all, no matter how exaggerated the rumors were, he must verify it personally before he could relax.


If Sun Mo was truly outstanding, Wei Ziyou would spare no expenses to recruit him.


If a single Mei Ziyu was not enough, he would simply add another.


The Jixia Academy was as expected of an old famous school. The building that was the Combat Hall and certain facilities around it might be old, but they were large enough.


“Only the top 100 students of every year can enter here to learn!”


Wei Ziyou introduced.


The rule here was similar to the Central Province Academy. There were small-scale competitions every ten days and a large-scale competition every season. Those who failed would be eliminated.


Sun Mo entered the building and saw seven platforms displayed in the shape of a plum flower. Currently, the area around the center platform was filled with people.


Two 16-year-old youths were currently sparring above it.


“The headmaster is here!”


Someone shouted.


Huala~


All the teachers and students immediately came over to greet him. Even the intensity of the battle on the platform lessened a little.


“Continue!”


Wei Ziyou indicated. After that, he smiled and asked Sun Mo. “Who do you think will win?”


Swish~


The gazes of all the students turned and landed on Sun Mo.


(Who is this person? From the looks of things, he must have a huge background!)


“Ziqi, what do you think?”


Sun Mo asked his eldest disciple, his gaze didn’t leave the platform.


“Ziqi? Could she be that female emperor from the Great Tang?”


Li Zigi’s name was like a bolt of thunder in the great teacher world. Her once ‘trash’ nickname had long since been discarded and her name now was the symbol of a genius.


Those students who were once deemed as having low potential by great teachers were all using Li Ziqi as an example to encourage themselves.


Since this person was Li Zigi, that handsome man beside her should be Great Teacher Sun, right?


“Their courage, experience, and level of proficiency in sword arts are roughly equal. However, the one with the thick lips will win!”


Li Ziqi gave her answer.


“Why?”


Wei Ziyou asked again.


“Because his sword art is a peerless-grade saint-tier one!”


Li Ziqi wasn’t good at cultivating, but after following Sun Mo, she had seen many types of cultivation arts and knew their strengths and weaknesses.


Wei Ziyou nodded.


‘As expected, three minutes after Li Ziqi gave her evaluation, the youth with thick lips defeated his opponent and obtained a victory. He couldn’t hold his excitement and shouted loudly.


He was now in the top five of his year.


“Mufeng, come over!”


Wei Ziyou spoke.


The thick-lipped youth jogged over before jumping up and doing a somersault. He then landed in a beautiful posture before Wei Ziyou and greeted him.


“Headmaster!”


“This is Great Teacher Sun, Sun Mo. Quickly greet him!”


Wei Ziyou introduced.


“Teacher!”


Bai Mufeng respectfully bowed. However, he had the temperament of youth and couldn’t control himself. After he bowed, he lifted his head and glanced at Sun Mo.


The others didn’t dare to survey Sun Mo so openly and were secretly glancing at him. After all, Sun Mo’s fame was too great. A 7-stars at 30-years-old, this was an absolute genius.


Many great teachers went to the Jixia Rostrum to lecture, but they were all old people. It was very rare to see anyone below 100 years old. As for a 30-year-old-one, there had never been one in the school’s history.


“Mufeng, do not miss this opportunity. Quickly consult him if you have any problems!”


Wei Ziyou spoke.


Mufeng’s lips twitched. (My background is profound, and my father is a sword sage. Sun Mo might be very strong, but what can he teach me?)


(Speaking of sword arts, my father is number one in the world!)
