Absolute Great Teacher Chapter 444: If Life Was as Beautiful as First Sight

Chapter 444: If Life Was as Beautiful as First Sight

“Sun Mo!”

Seeing the girl’s condition, Sun Mo sat across her and tried his best to maintain a distance. If not, he might really be mistaken as soone trying to do sothing indecent to her.

After all, when executing the ancient massaging technique, he would co in contact with so body parts that were considered private.

i Ziyu repeated this na in a low voice. She then stood up and solemnly bowed to Sun Mo. “Sun Mo, thanks!”

Ding!

Favorable impression points from i Ziyu 100. Prestige connection unlocked. Friendly (100/1,000).

“You are too polite. It’s just a very slight effort on my part!”

Sun Mo hesitated because Divine Sight wasn’t able to identify this girl’s illness. Hence, he wanted to ask more in detail. However, as this was considered a private information, she most probably wouldn’t tell him.

i Ziyu noticed Sun Mo’s silence and instantly guessed his thoughts. “Sorry, I also have no idea what illness I’m suffering from. In any case, it’s very troubleso.”

The girl had a pure heart and spirit, hence, if she knew, she would definitely tell Sun Mo because she owed him a favor.

“Let say sothing you wouldn’t like to hear. You should stay in bed more to rest!”

Sun Mo suggested. With i Ziyu’s body, it would be a burden even if she walked an additional step.

“If that’s the case, I might as well commit suicide!”

i Ziyu had a faint smile on her face. After her breathing was stable, she stood up and took up her little shovel, starting to plow the soil as she watered the wilted black peony.

Sun Mo followed over. He took a glance and wanted to say sothing but hesitated.

“You want to say that there’s no hope for it anymore?”

i Ziyu guessed Sun Mo’s thoughts.

“Yup!”

Sun Mo nodded. His planting technique was at the grandmaster-grade, and even without using Divine Sight for assistance, he could see that the main root of the black peony had been chewed through by worms. It wasn’t able to absorb any nutrients from the soil and would die sooner or later.

“But what if a miracle happens?”

i Ziyu counter-asked. She used the little shovel and cautiously piled so soil under the peony gently, like she was afraid she might hurt the roots if she used too much force. “If one isn’t even willing to put in this bit of effort, there wouldn’t be a chance of a miracle.”

Sun Mo fell silent.

Honestly speaking, he felt that this i Ziyu was a little obsessed. If the plant died, one could buy another one. If one’s computer hard disk was damaged, that part should just be replaced. Why was there a need to think about fixing it?

If it was a plant she had been taking care of for many years, one might still say that there were so emotions. But for an ordinary plant in the landscape like this? It was truly not worthy of i Ziyu putting in effort with her sick body just to save it.

However, he respected i Ziyu’s choice.

“My mother has told the sa thing many tis. Indeed, so things aren’t worth the effort. However, I feel that if I abandoned it, it would truly be too pitiful!”

i Ziyu touched the black peony’s leaves with tenderness in her gaze.

“Everyone has the freedom to choose how they want to live!”

Sun Mo smiled.

“Thank you!”

i Ziyu also smiled. This Sun Mo was very interesting and gentle. Other guys would definitely persuade her to take care of her body instead, telling her that a plant was really not worth her effort. However, Sun Mo didn’t do this.

“You know planting techniques?”

i Ziyu was curious. After she asked, she saw golden light erupting from Sun Mo’s body.

Priceless Advice activated.

“Are you bragging about your talent?”

i Ziyu leaned her head sideways and looked at Sun Mo. Her black hair flowed down like a waterfall, hanging off her shoulders.

Sun Mo also didn’t expect Priceless Advice to activate. Just when he wanted to explain, he saw i Ziyu smiling sweetly and knew she was intentionally teasing him.

“Yup, n would naturally want to display their brilliance before beautiful girls to gain their favor!”

Sun Mo replied.

Swish~

i Ziyu’s face turned red again. She hurriedly shook her head, not daring to look at Sun Mo anymore.

“Eh!”

Sun Mo felt awkward. His words sounded a little frivolous, but this couldn’t be blad on him.

This girl had a gentle and quiet deanor, and she was pretty as well. Although she was slightly skinny and her complexion was pale, she was comparable to Gu Xiuxun in terms of beauty. However, when guys looked at her, they wouldn’t feel what they felt when they looked at the masochist. They would basically neglect this girl’s beautiful appearance as a sense of protecting her appeared in their hearts.

At the very least, Sun Mo would feel so impulse when he looked at Gu Xiuxun. However, he felt nothing like that when he looked at this girl.

Sun Mo felt that he should leave, yet he didn’t feel like leaving. Hence, he could only find topics to talk about. “I have so understanding when it cos to planting.”

“Oh, why are you researching this subject?”

i Ziyu felt curious.

Honestly speaking, this was a very minor subject. Even if he mastered it to the grandmaster-grade, it would be of insignificant value.

Hence, if there was a better choice, no one would be bored enough to research planting techniques.

“My hobby!”

Sun Mo could only feign calmness. He couldn’t possibly say that he had opened the skill book from a treasure chest, right?

Upon hearing this, i Ziyu’s eyes brightened. She actually t soone here with the sa hobby as her.

“Let take a look?”

Sun Mo squatted down. He first inspected the black peony’s root. Although he didn’t see any worms, he could see tiny bites on it. “Pass the shovel please!”

When i Ziyu passed the shovel over, her finger accidentally ca in contact with Sun Mo’s index finger. She blushed again, but after that, she discovered that Sun Mo wasn’t concerned about such a small matter. He was seriously plowing the soil, inspecting the roots of the black peony.

That serious face was really well worth a second look.

Hence, i Ziyu couldn’t control but to secretly survey Sun Mo.

“The nutrients in the soil are too little. Although you have added fertilizer, it didn’t help and instead drew a lot of worm larvae. The roots are severely damaged by the worms.”

Sun Mo explained.

“Can it be saved?”

i Ziyu suddenly grew worried.

“The chance of saving it is very small!”

Sun Mo spoke and placed his hand on the top part of the plant.

Bzz~

A green light shone from Sun Mo’s hand. The motes of light entered the plant and a few minutes later, quite a few of the originally withered leaves unfolded and shone with a luster.

“Eh? What is this?”

i Ziyu was astonished. She had thought that the planting techniques Sun Mo knew were the normal plowing, pruning, and breeding. She didn’t expect that it was this type...

However, the effects were miraculously good.

i Ziyu could hear so faint rustling sound. That was the struggle of the worms before they died.

“It’s temporarily fine now. I gave it so nutrients and nded the main root. However, there are plenty of worms in this bed of flowers. You have to rember to use pesticide to kill the worms in a tily manner, or it would be like curing the symptoms and not the root cause!”

Sun Mo inhaled deeply. Sweat could be seen on his forehead.

Although this was just saving a plant, he had to reconstruct its life circulatory system, and this caused Sun Mo to expend a large amount of spirit qi. Hence, he felt sowhat fatigued.

However, he was happy because this was his first ti using the planting technique. He was surprised at how strong it was.

“It’s been hard on you!”

i Ziyu took out a handkerchief and passed it to Sun Mo.

“Forget it, I would only dirty it!”

Sun Mo didn’t take it and stood up instead. “I have to go now. My companions are waiting for .”

He had spent quite a lot of ti here. Given Gu Xiuxun’s strength, she should have co out.

“Mn!”

i Ziyu rose to her feet.

Sun Mo waved his hands. After walking out for over ten ters, he suddenly heard the guilty apology of the girl. Because she wanted to save the plant, Sun Mo had wasted much energy. This would surely affect his performance in the exam.

“Sorry, I was too wilful!”

Sun Mo turned his head and saw the girl bowing 90 degrees at him. The gentle wind gusted by, causing her skirt to flutter.

“Don’t mind it, I did so willingly!”

Sun Mo smiled. “If only life was as beautiful as first sight, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans, eh...”

As Sun Mo spoke halfway, he suddenly shut up. His original intention was to console i Ziyu and tell her that he was very happy being able to get acquainted with her here. But as he spoke halfway, he suddenly realized that what he was going to recite was actually a love poem!

For modern people when they were reciting poems, the intended aning of the allegory was presented in the first part, and this was very normal. But the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces were different.

In this era, this poem didn’t exist!

And what was more troubling was Priceless Advice had activated.

(May the heavens take pity on .) Sun Mo truly had no other intentions. He only felt that this girl was not bad. It was like when you occasionally t a beautiful senior school sister in the library. You would feel an impulse to get acquainted with her, and you would also feel that you were quite lucky today for being able to et her.

i Ziyu didn’t expect that Sun Mo would only utter two lines. Also, given her talent, she instantly understood the beauty of the poem. Just when she was waiting for the later part of it, Sun Mo’s great teacher halo activated.

The large and limpid eyes of the girl blinked as she stared at Sun Mo in astonishnt. Her fair hands subconsciously covered her mouth.

In this instant, i Ziyu’s heart turned chaotic.

(Why did you confess even though we have just t?)

i Ziyu wanted to reject him, but she didn’t dislike this man’s look nor his gentleness and attentiveness.

However, i Ziyu was ultimately a pure-hearted girl. When she saw Sun Mo’s awkward expression, she understood that she was thinking too much. He was only reciting a poem to express his emotions.

However, that was a really good poem!

“If only life was as beautiful as first sight, why would the autumn wind pity the deserted painted fan!”

i Ziyu muttered, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face. She really wanted to know the second part of the poem. It should be very fascinating, right?

Yet in the end, she only saw Sun Mo saying, “Please don’t misunderstand”. After that, Sun Mo turned and ran away.

Sun Mo’s speed was very fast. He soon vanished at the end of the alley.

It was unknown why, but i Ziyu suddenly felt sowhat disappointed.

“Actually, I don’t dislike this na ‘Sun Mo’!”

i Ziqu then squatted down at the flower bed and continued taking care of that black peony flower.

Ding!

...

Under the teaching building, Gu Xiuxun crossed her arms before her chest. One of her feet was tapping the ground unceasingly, as she had been waiting here for almost half an hour.

(Damn Sun Mo, don’t you know it’s very impolite to let a girl wait for you?)

Besides, because the masochist was too pretty, the examinees would all take a few glances at her. Their eyes would naturally roam at her chest and butt.

If they stared at her butt, it was still okay, Gu Xiuxun could still endure it. But when she noticed them staring at her small chest, this steel-board lady really couldn’t bear it.

“You guys are still looking? Do you guys believe that this old lady will dig your eyes out and stomp on them?”

Gu Xiuxun suddenly roared at a few examinees.

“Who made you angry?” Sun Mo put on an expression of righteous indignation. “I’ll go and punch him!”

“I wish to beat you up!”

After Gu Xiuxun spoke, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Sun Mo’s throat. “Do you know how long I’ve been standing here and being stared at like a gorilla in the zoo?”

“You people from Middle-Earth also know the existence of gorillas?”

Sun Mo was astonished.

“Damn, if you guys want to display your affection in public, just scram back ho!”

“I don’t want to see this crap!”

“Should we beat this fellow up?”

When the examinees saw Gu Xiuxun actually bantering flirtatiously with Sun Mo, they were so angry that they wanted to beat soone up.

Full poem:

If only life was as beautiful as at first sight, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans?

Frivolously your heart changed, yet you claid capriciousness of human emotions.

A mory of late-night whispers on Li mountain ended only by the break of dawn, sorrowful sentints evoked by a chariot’s jingle on a rainy night, couldn’t make him regret. (I still rember those late-night whispers of love when we were together. Now parted, with tears, I have no regret that I once loved you.)

But how can you compare with those fickle princelings, at least once they had vowed to be love birds flying wing-to-wing or to be branches intertwined.
