Chapter 1010 - Sun Mo’s Prestige

Chapter 1010: Sun Mo’s Prestige

“But? What but? Scram, go and invite Sun Mo!”

Liang Hongda raged. If this old man wasn’t Secondary Saint Zhou’s butler, he would have long since kicked him to death.

Truly, this was a case of a dog threatening people based on its master’s power. He had no idea how insignificant he was.

All the high star-ranking great teachers coldly watched everything while coughing in their hearts. The discipline of the Zhou Clan couldn’t cut it.

A butler actually dared to look down on Sun Mo like this?

Truly, his dog eyes must have been blinded.

Sun Mo was the most popular new rising superstar of the younger generation.

22 years old, three-time champion, near-ancestor expertise in the study of spirit runes, a botany grandmaster and also a grandmaster spiritual controller.

(Do you understand how terrifying these accomplishments are?)

Even if Secondary Saint Zhou was here and was extremely unhappy with Sun Mo, he could only flash a thumbs-up at him. (You are just a butler, do you even have the qualifications to look down on Sun Mo?)

When the old butler saw Liang Hongda raging, he no longer dared to rebut. He hurriedly left to make preparations.

“Return!” Liang Hongda shouted, “What do you plan to say to him?”

“Ah?”

The old butler started. How else could he say this?

“Be more polite and remember to refer to him as Great Teacher Sun. Don’t use your stuck-up attitude!”

Liang Hongda warned.

(Given Sun Mo’s personality that’s open to coaxing and not coercion, if you dare show him attitude, he will knock out your front teeth.)

“Oh!”

The old butler nodded and turned to leave, but before he could take two steps forward, he was stopped again.

“Wait a minute!”

“What other instructions do you have?”

The old butler felt angry but didn’t dare to raise his voice.

“Bring more gifts over!” Liang Hongda reminded him. “Expensive gifts!”

The old butler left. With no one from the Zhou Clan around, the others also felt more at ease as they continued with their discussion.

“This problem of Zhou Wenbin is a little huge. I’m afraid he won’t be able to pull through!”

“I wonder if Sun Mo has a miracle cure?”

“We can anticipate it.”

Everyone discussed this, but when Liu Xu heard these words, he immediately grew unhappy.

“I understood the situation. Although others boasted that God Hands is magical, it is simply just a set of massage techniques. Improving blood circulation, getting rid of bruises, clearing energy channels, setting broken bones, etc. Its effect is merely slightly better than other methods. You guys really feel he can treat Zhou Wenbin’s problem? Do you guys take him to be a divine doctor?”

(Depending on massage to treat illnesses? This is an insult to my 60 years of effort in studying medical studies.)

…

“Sir, we managed to track Sun Mo’s movements. He is currently having a meal together with Great Teacher Tong in the Swallow Phoenix Inn.

Given the Zhou Clan’s strength, it was very easy for them to track Sun Mo.

But after hearing the servant’s report, the old butler was stunned. He counter-asked, “Great Teacher Tong? Tong Xugao? That 7-star?”

“Mn!”

The servant was stunned as well. Why would a 7-star treat a 3-star to a meal? Hence, he specially asked the person who reported this for verification several times.

“Does Tong Xugao have brain damage?”

The old butler cursed. He then left the hotel Sun Mo was staying at and got onto a carriage. “Head to the Swallow Phoenix Inn quickly!”

…

“Boss, they have been here for three hours.”

The manager stood beside the inn boss who had the surname of ‘Li’ and had a bitter look on his face.

For inns and restaurants, they earned money by serving more people. There was no need to mention the VIP rooms, the higher ‘refresh rate’ of customers, the more the business would earn.

But right now, Tong Xugao and his group actually took up space for such a long time.

“Shut up!”

Boss Li jumped in fright and hurriedly cast a glance toward Tong Xugao’s direction. After ascertaining that the manager’s words hadn’t been heard, he kicked the manager lightly.

“Do you want me to die?”

Boss Li was almost angered to death.

(If these words were heard by Tong Xugao, wouldn’t all my efforts from before, smiling at him, doing so many favors for him, amount to nothing?)

“But…”

The manager was also thinking on the inn’s behalf.

“Let alone three hours, even if it was three days, that would be my honor.”

Boss Li scolded. After some hesitation, he instructed, “As of now, stop bringing customers up to the top level. Try to clear the area and arrange for a few nimble and good-looking waiters to come here. They are to follow Tong Xugao’s instructions immediately if he has any orders.”

“Ah?”

The manager was stunned. “Do we have to go so far? Isn’t he just a 7-star?”

“Old Wang, you have worked at my place for your entire life so your horizons are quite wide. If it was other places, let alone 7-star, you wouldn’t even be able to see a 3-star. You might only meet them occasionally as their appearances are as rare as imported ivory.”

Boss Li sighed ruefully.

This was a difference in horizons.

The manager nodded with a ‘you are right’ expression, yet he didn’t feel so in his heart.

(I’m just a minor character, even if I manage to ingratiate myself with them, what’s the use of it?)

(They definitely won’t accept the two silly kids I have as their students no matter what.)

(Speaking of which, although the great teachers I’ve seen are not as many as the boss, I’ve seen many widows before. I just succeeded with that widow next door three days ago…)

(That taste… Ze! She was moist enough!)

“I understand, I will arrange for people to wait on Great Teacher Tong well.”

The manager appeared so anxious because he wanted to express his loyalty. In any case, even if the business made a loss, it wouldn’t affect him.

“Not only for Great Teacher Tong, but for Sun Mo as well.”

Although this Boss Li wasn’t too familiar with Sun Mo, he was a veteran of society. According to Great Teacher Tong’s attitude toward Sun Mo, he could judge Sun Mo’s importance.

Usually speaking, it should be the high star-ranking great teacher giving a lecture and imparting his experience, right?

But things seemed to be opposite for the two of them.

At the start, both parties took turns asking questions and sharing answers. But very soon, Sun Mo became the one speaking more, while Tong Xugao was the one listening seriously.

He would occasionally interject and ask questions.

Boss Li couldn’t understand Sun Mo’s lecture, but he knew this was definitely good knowledge. Because not only was Tong Xugao listening extremely seriously, but he even took out a notebook to take notes.

This was impressive then!

Teaching a 7-star great teacher?

Boss Li was in his fifties and had never seen this before. Even if he told this to others, no one would believe him. After all, this matter was too ridiculous.

“In the future, when this Great Teacher Sun comes to the inn, serve him with the best tea and arrange for the best-looking waitresses to wait on him. Also, inform me as soon as possible.”

Boss Li turned his head and instructed.

“Understood!”

The manager silently mused that in the span of a single meal, this Great Teacher Sun’s status had just risen to the top.

One must know that the Boss also had a great background. Only when receiving nobility or scions from top-level wealthy clans would he personally show up. So, it could be said that this young man with the surname ‘Sun’ truly had a huge prestige!

“Aiya!”

Boss Li clapped his forehead and had regret on his face. “I’ve forgotten to secretly place an image-recording stone beside them. If I could record their conversation, it might become my family heirloom in the future.”

“Boss, are you not regarding them too highly?”

The manager was speechless.

Family heirloom?

(Only after these two become saints would your image-recording stone be valuable!)

“Quickly go. Later when they leave, I want to ask them if I can take a photograph with them!”

Boss Li urged.

The manager left. Boss Li pricked his ears and wanted to hear what they were talking about. But very soon later, the manager ran back and interrupted him.

“Boss, the butler of Secondary Saint Zhou is here!”

“Here for a meal?”

Boss Li frowned. He didn’t want to offend lowly people like this.

“Nope, he is here to look for Great Teacher Sun.” The manager reported. “What should we do?”

Boss Li was fretting now. He didn’t dare to slight the butler of the Zhou clan. But right now, the two great teachers were deeply focused on their chatting. If they were interrupted, would they feel that his inn wasn’t exquisite enough and refuse to come here again in the future?

Ai!

How vexing!

“Boss, quickly make a decision. That old butler is still waiting and he seems very anxious.”

The manager reminded his boss.

“I’ll go and take a look!”

Boss Li headed down and saw the old butler whose head was covered in sweat. He then learned that the old butler was really here for an important matter. Hence, he no longer dared to delay and quickly led the butler upstairs.

Once they reached the top level, Boss Li originally wanted to remind the old butler not to speak too loudly lest he might disturb the mood of the two great teachers. But in the end, the old butler directly pushed him aside and rushed over.

“Good afternoon, Great Teacher Tong!”

The old butler bowed first to Tong Xugao.

“Leave!”

Tong Xugao’s expression sank. If it wasn’t for the fact he didn’t want Sun Mo’s regard of him to lower, he might have spew vulgarities and told this fellow to f*** off.

Sun Mo’s words were truly thought-provoking and he lost himself when listening to them. And now, he got interrupted suddenly.

How preposterous!

“Eh?!”

The expression of the old butler stiffened. He mentally mused that he was the great butler of Secondary Saint Zhou, yet Tong Xugao didn’t know him?

(Where’s my face?)

“Great Teacher Tong, please cease your anger!”

Boss Li hurriedly smiled and explained, “This is the great butler of Secondary Saint Zhou’s clan!”

“What are you doing here?”

Tong Xugao was unhappy, but he didn’t make the butler leave.

After all, one must look at the dog’s master before hitting the dog.

The old butler hurriedly explained. After that, he looked at Sun Mo. “Great Teacher Sun, please help out!”

After the old butler spoke, he waved his hands and twelve servants immediately walked forward and stood in a row.

There was a gift box in each of their hands.

“There are pearls and jade in this box…”

The old butler started to name the items. After that, he felt reluctance in his heart. If he gave all these items as gifts now, even if Sun Mo failed to treat the young master, the old butler understood he wouldn’t be able to get these items back.

(Ai!)

(These items will probably go to the dogs.)

From the old butler’s point of view, since so many high star-ranking great teachers had failed to treat Zhou Wenbin, Sun Mo definitely wouldn’t have a solution. After all, he couldn’t possibly be more impressive than so many great teachers, right?

But who got Liang Hongda to give the instructions for him to invite Sun Mo?

Right now, Sun Mo was frowning because the attitude of the butler didn’t seem to be good.

Hence, he activated Divine Sight.

The various stats were terrible.

The most conspicuous thing was a row of red words that indicated clear hostility and loathing toward him.

“Does your Zhou Clan not have anyone else?” Sun Mo counter-asked.

“Great Teacher Sun, what do you mean?” The old butler didn’t understand.

“Sending someone who hates me to invite me. What plot is this?”

Sun Mo was worried that there might be a trap. What if they wanted to frame him or something?

After all, his eldest disciple had just crushed Zhou Wenbin in the examination. “As for saving someone? Why don’t you go and look for doctors?”

Sun Mo knew his own limits. He couldn’t even memorize all the names of those medical herbs, so how could he treat illnesses?!

“Teacher, I feel that this fellow is teasing you!”

Qin Yaoguang interjected while drinking a mouthful of chicken soup. “If Zhou Wenbin was ill and they were sincerely inviting you over for his treatment, they wouldn’t have simply sent a butler over, right?”

“Yeah, at the very least, the person inviting our teacher has to be someone of direct descent!”

The papaya girl nodded.

It was important to note who was the person who came here to invite Sun Mo to treat Zhou Wenbin.

Wanting to use a butler to invite Sun Mo?

If a word of this was to spread, outsiders would say that the Zhou Clan could summon Sun Mo just by sending a random butler over.

When Tong Xugao heard this, he immediately berated the butler in a stern manner.

“Speak honestly, what do you want to do exactly?”

Sun Mo was relaxed. The Zhou Clan might want to play some tricks, but he would simply not agree to go with them.
