Absolute Great Teacher - Chapter 1070

After Li Zixing died, Li Xiu was the figure with the most power and authority in Jinling.

With no enemies, Li Xiu started to enjoy life. During autumn, because she was busy managing her business at the sea, she didn’t want to participate in the autumn hunt. Hence, during these few days of break, she went to the royal manor in the outskirts to rest.

“Prime Minister Zheng, I’m toasting you!”

Prince Consort Qi enjoyed listening and watching performances, poetry, drinking, and music more compared to hunting. Since his wife wanted to come here to relax, it wouldn’t be good for him to reject it too. Hence, he dragged Zheng Qingfang along to accompany him.

It was impossible for Zheng Qingfang to stay there for a long period. So, when he wanted to return to Jinling, Prince Consort Qi would have an excuse of sending him back to return to Jinling as well.

“Ai, if little friend Sun Mo was here, how good would it be. We could write poems and admire paintings together!”

Zheng Qingfang sighed.

This time around, Sun Mo went to the Darkness Continent for close to a year, and Zheng Qingfang felt extremely lonely.

“Don’t you feel Sun Mo is a little weird? The other famous artists would spend all their time researching paintings and want to create famous paintings every day. But he doesn’t care for matters like this that could aid him in leaving his name behind in the long rivers of time.”

Zheng Qingfang couldn’t understand.

In the annals of time, all great teachers disappeared one after the other. The only ones who could leave their names behind were saints. And for famous artists, as long as they could produce famous paintings, they would be able to do so.

Naturally, the significance in the meaning of the former and the latter was completely different.

It was like no matter how famous [Along the River During the Qingming Festival] was, could it be more famous compared to Confucius?

“He also has [Journey to the West]. He is the first person who produces this vernacular creation, and once he completes it, it will surely leave its mark in history. But he actually only did half of it. Do you think it is infuriating or not?”

When Zheng Qingfang thought of this, he felt filled with regrets.

As Sun Mo’s fame increased, something like his painting skills would be considered insignificant when compared to becoming a saint.

“Let’s not talk about it anymore and just enjoy the drinks.”

Prince Consort Qi raised his wine cup and just when he wanted to gulp it down, he suddenly paused. This was because at the far end of his vision, other than clouds floating in the sky, he actually saw a tiny figure rising through the air.

(Has my eyesight turned blurry?)

Prince Consort Qi rubbed his eyes.

“What’s the matter?”

Upon seeing the look of astonishment on Qi Mu`en’s face, Zheng Qingfang also glanced in the direction of his vision. “What are you looking at?”

“There seems to be someone there?”

Prince Consort Qi didn’t dare to be sure.

“…”

Zheng Qingfang mentally mused. (Have you drunk too much?)

Qi Mu`en turned his head and looked at the maids standing at the side. “Did you guys see a human flying in the sky earlier?”

The maids shook their heads.

They were serving their master, so how would they dare to look around randomly?!

“Haha, please forgive me for my impropriety.”

Prince Consort Qi felt very embarrassed. He mentally reminded himself to drink less, or he might suffer sudden death on his bed tomorrow.

Look, he was even suffering from illusions now.

“Let’s finish this up!”

Prince Consort Qi wanted to touch cups with Zheng Qingfang. In the end, Zheng Qingfang spat out a mouthful of wine at Qi Mu`en’s face.

“…”

Qi Mu`en wiped his face. (What’s going on with you?) After that, he heard Zheng Qingfang shouting.

“H…human, flying in the sky!”

At the next instant, the screams of the maids filled the air.

The guards also saw that. They wielded bows in their hands as they immediately ran over. They felt so nervous and so shocked that they wanted to die.

Why was there someone flying in the sky?

“Master, that seems to be the princess?”

The guard leader was at the Divine Force Realm, and his vision wasn’t bad. He could tell that the tiny person flying in the skies bore a resemblance to Li Ziqi.

“Ah?”

Prince Consort Qi and Zheng Qingfang were both stunned. After that, their hearts thumped wildly. If she fell from such a height…

“Who does the manor on the other side belong to?”

Zheng Qingfang stood up.

“Sun Mo’s.”

When Qi Mu`en spoke, he also stood up. He and Zheng Qingfang both hastened their steps without prior agreement and hurried over.

…

Li Ziqi’s motor ability was very weak. Even though she was in the air, her movements were very slow and steady. However, Ying Baiwu was different.

After a simple round of getting adjusted to it, she started to do some slightly more dangerous actions. Somersaulting in the air was nothing much, so she even soared to a height where she could no longer see the scene below clearly and suddenly retracted her spirit qi, causing her to fall.

Hu~

The wind could be heard gushing through her ears, and everything on the ground grew increasingly closer in her vision.

“Careful!”

Li Ziqi jumped in fright and flew back with her fastest speed, wanting to grab Ying Baiwu. Sadly, she missed.

“Ahhh!”

Everyone on the ground was badly shocked and hurriedly sprinted to the location where the iron-headed girl would fall to, wanting to save her. However, just when she was five to six meters away from the ground, it was like she had suddenly stomped on a break. Her falling momentum abruptly halted.

After that, she flipped over and adjusted her posture before sitting cross-legged. However, she was still floating in the air.

“What are you doing? Do you want to scare us to death?”

Jiang Leng grumbled.

This was the first time they did the flying experiment. If a mistake occurred, it would have a very huge impact on their teacher.

“Baiwu, you are too brash.”

Sun Mo reproached.

“Teacher, I was wrong!”

Ying Baiwu hurriedly stood up and lowered her head as she apologized. However, there was still a look of excitement on her face, and she was still floating in the air.

The feeling of flying was simply too cool.

“I want one too!”

Gu Xiuxun tugged Sun Mo’s sleeves, feeling extremely impatient. “Quickly tattoo one for me!”

“Can the flying speed be a little quicker?”

Murong Mingyue was curious.

She also wanted one.

“After I’m used to being in the air, I think I can still speed up.”

Ying Baiwu frowned and did an analysis. “But no matter how fast it is, it cannot be faster than a galloping horse. Also, there’s a problem with its stability. During flying, our body will sway, and the driving force behind our backs causes it to be somewhat awkward when we wish to adjust our posture.”

“You can’t compare it to moving nimbly when you are on the ground.”

Helian Beifang felt that Ying Baiwu was nitpicking too much.

The people from the plains were also called a tribe that lived on the back of horses. They could even sleep on horses. However, he felt that Ying Baiwu’s movements were more relaxed compared to the movements of a ten-year soldier seated on a warhorse. This was already enough.

“Mn!”

Sun Mo took out a notebook and took notes. At the same time, he reminded everyone. “This is only the first version of the Skyward Spirit Rune, and it isn’t perfected yet. I’ll tattoo it for you guys after I’ve invented a perfect one.”

“This is already very perfect.”

Gu Xiuxun immediately wanted it.

“Yeah, there’s no need to burden yourself too much.”

Murong Mingyue felt that Sun Mo was too fastidious.

Jin Mujie didn’t say anything, but she wanted one right now as well.

“Hehe!”

Sun Mo shook his head and couldn’t help but laugh. (You guys have never seen how powerful the skill ‘flight’ is in Dragonball. Only that can be called flying.)

Right now, this could at most make one levitate in the air.

“Let’s go and hurry back to our school!”

Gu Xiuxun urged and dragged Sun Mo away. She was so impatient she didn’t want to wait anymore.

The others had no objections and followed after them.

When Sun Mo saw this, he understood that he couldn’t persuade them otherwise and could only follow the majority.

“In any case, your Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands can dispel the spirit rune any time, right? At that time, you can just replace the old one with the new for us.”

Gu Xiuxun wasn’t reserved at all. (We are best buddies, right?)

As for letting Sun Mo view her body?

(Aiya, since I want to fly, I shouldn’t care about these small details.)

Sun Mo narrowed his eyes and glanced at Gu Xiuxun. (If you continue acting like this, do you believe that I’ll tattoo a little butterfly on you?)

Their dreams of flying were interrupted. Just when they led the horses out, Qi Mu`en and Zheng Qingfang had arrived.

“What’s going on earlier?” Qi Mu`en was extremely anxious. “I saw someone flying in the sky?”

Zheng Qingfang’s gaze landed on Li Ziqi.

“I invented a type of flying spirit rune!”

These two weren’t outsiders and there was no need to hide this. Sun Mo originally prepared to explain more, but just after he said this, Prince Consort Qi immediately shouted.

“You can fly?”

Prince Consort Qi was as though his balls got kicked by a Ferghana horse. His entire face was filled with shock. “Quick, try flying for me to see!”

Explanation?

To these major characters, they didn’t need to understand the process. They only wanted to see the results.

When Ying Baiwu soared into the air, Prince Consort Qi immediately went over to hug Sun Mo.

“Great Teacher Sun. From today onward, you are my brother.”

Prince Consort Qi had a very agitated look on his face. He patted his chest and guaranteed. “No matter what crimes you commit in the future, as long as it isn’t rebellion, I will guarantee that nothing will happen to you.”

“You are Ziqi’s uncle.”

Sun Mo was speechless.

“It’s fine, let us get back on this matter.”

Prince Consort Qi chortled. He lowered his voice. “I managed to purchase a beauty from Yang Zhou. She is skilled in music, poetry, chess, and the classics, and I’m preparing to nurture her into the number one courtesan of Jinling. Now, there’s no need for that. Tomorrow, no, I’ll send her to your place tonight!”

“You can just tell me whatever you want,” said Sun Mo.

Prince Consort Qi glanced at Ying Baiwu. “I want this.”

Sun Mo frowned.

After seeing Sun Mo’s expression, Prince Consort Qi understood he had said the wrong thing. He hurriedly explained, “I’m talking about the flying spirit rune.”

(But speaking of which, this young girl is even prettier than the beauty I purchased from Yang Zhou.) After thinking of this, Prince Consort Qi couldn’t help but turn his head and swept his gaze around.

Alright then!

Each of the girls here had their own flavor.

Even the tall and strapping barbarian girl from the plains could stand way above the crowd in Jiangnan, which was famed for its delicate beauties.

All of a sudden, Prince Consort Qi’s gaze toward Sun Mo changed.

(Could it be that you only accept disciples based on their looks?)

“Uncle!”

Li Ziqi was very embarrassed. (How can you give my teacher something like this as a gift?)

The crucial point was that her teacher’s wife was at the side. (Are you not finding trouble for my teacher? Moreover, other than doing laundry and folding bed quilts, I can also take up the responsibility of warming my teacher’s bed!)

Since there were guests now and Sun Mo didn’t wish to keep moving around, everyone decided to remain here.

“How did you achieve this?”

Qi Mu`en was very curious.

Even ancestor-level spirit runists wouldn’t be able to achieve this.

Sun Mo shrugged.

“I know that I won’t understand even after you explain. I only wish to know interesting facts that led you to invent it. After this, I will be able to brag when I head out to socialize.”

Qi Mu`en felt that this matter was sufficient to brag for 20 years.

Everyone smiled and chatted for a while more before Zheng Qingfang could no longer endure it.

“Since this is such a memorable moment, why don’t you paint something in celebration?”

Zheng Qingfang ‘lay a trap card’.

“Yeah!”

Prince Consort Qi hurriedly agreed. “Famous Artist Sun, we will all depend on you then.”

“Famous paintings are not like eating meals. How can someone draw them just because they want to?”

Sun Mo shook his head.

“Little friend Sun, are you intending to participate in the great teacher examination? There’s definitely no problem for you, but what about your disciples? Shouldn’t you draw a painting to encourage them?”

Zheng Qingfang tried again.

“Yeah, Sun Mo. Hurry up and paint!”

As Gu Xiuxun spoke, she personally went to take the brush, ink, and paper.

“It’s truly a joyous matter to be able to watch Teacher Sun painting!”

Jin Mujie smiled. Her eyes were filled with anticipation as she stared at Sun Mo.

“Speaking of which, I’ve never seen Sun Mo paint something before!”

Mei Ziyu and Murong Mingyue didn’t say anything, but their gazes toward Sun Mo already said everything.

The students also were trying their best to persuade him.

Sun Mo had no choice and could only agree.

The stone table was moved over, and high-class paper and ink were present. Sun Mo took up his brush and stood before the drawing paper.

(What should I draw?)

Mei Ziyu looked at Sun Mo who was deep in contemplation. His clear features emitted the aura of a sage, and her heart couldn’t help but thump in admiration as she blushed.

She truly felt very envious of An Xinhui because she was Sun Mo’s fiancee.

Gu Xiuxun and Murong Mingyue already had no interest in the famous painting. They felt that looking at Sun Mo like this wasn’t bad either.

“It’s over, it’s over. In the future, wouldn’t Teacher’s harem become an asura ground?”

Li Ziqi sneakily glanced at the surroundings and saw that all the teachers were looking at Sun Mo like how they would look at their dream lovers. She immediately felt a headache.

“Teacher, quickly act!”

Qin Yaoguang urged impatiently.

Swish~

Over ten gazes filled with reproach immediately turned over.

Sun Mo smiled and dipped his brush down.

The vast earth extended toward the distance. One could see a red-colored sun slowly rising in the horizon.

The sky was azure and the white clouds were flowing!

Li Ziqi, who was clad in a battle attire with the word ‘龟’, appeared vividly on paper. She was floating in the air and had a serious expression on her face, having bloodstains and wounds on her. Spirit qi could also be seen gushing from her body.

When everyone saw this scene, they immediately knew that she was facing an enemy so powerful that it would cause others to despair.

Sun Mo gradually became immersed in the drawing.

Youths were all hot-blooded. They believed that they would never lose.

Sun Mo hoped that Li Ziqi could puff her chest up and face any difficulties, rumors, gossip, and formidable enemies she would meet in the future courageously.

(Since you are so intelligent, you should be able to achieve what others cannot.)

(Since you are so hard-working, you should enjoy success.)

(Since you always think about the common people, you should have the qualifications to stand at the peak of the great teacher world and enjoy their fresh flowers and applause!)

…

Sun Mo hoped that the little sunny egg could achieve her goal and complete her ambition of building the largest library in the Nine Provinces. He also hoped that her noble dream of distinctionless education in this world could be realized.

This painting was the encouragement he wanted to give to her!

Under this heart state, Sun Mo was completely focused. All of a sudden, motes of light flashed in the air. They were like fireflies and gathered around his brush.

As Sun Mo painted, the painting was suddenly endowed with brilliant colors.

“T…the Wondrous Blossom Realm?”

Just when Prince Consort Qi wanted to exclaim in admiration, his mouth was hurriedly covered by Zheng Qingfang who reacted very quickly.

(If you disturb Sun Mo and affect the birth of a famous painting, we won’t be friends from now on.)

“…”

Prince Consort Qi was shocked. He also knew that famous paintings weren’t things that could appear just because someone wanted to draw them. Hence, he didn’t harbor too great of a hope. But Sun Mo’s skill had stunned everyone.

A [Dragon Ball Girl Qi-Eruption Painting] gradually appeared.

Gu Xiuxun was not surprised at all because this was Sun Mo’s usual performance. He was always so outstanding.

Although Murong Mingyue had personally witnessed Sun Mo drawing the [The Kite-Chasing Girl], she still felt very stunned when she saw him creating another famous painting.

Mei Ziyu was prepared, and the image-recording stone in her hand had long since been aimed at Sun Mo.

At the same time, after Li Xiu who woke up from her nap learned that her husband and Zheng Qingfang were next door, she went to wash up before heading over.

[1] The orange battle attire with the word ‘龟’ is similar to the one Son Goku wore in Dragon Ball
