Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 71: Returning from a Rewarding Journey

Lu Zhiruo's eyes were wide open as she stared at the dagger.

"I can't accept this!"

Sun Mo rejected hurriedly. "This is too valuable!"

"Sigh, what you've said is wrong. No matter how much money you have, you can't buy a pleasant mood. Through these few years of retirement, today is undoubtedly my happiest day. I have read a masterpiece and seen the birth of a famous painting. How satisfying!"

As Zheng Qingfang spoke, he emptied another cup and started coughing.

"Old Master, you've drunk too much."

The old servant tried to advise him as he was worried about Zheng Qingfang's health.

"Cough cough, it does no harm!"

Zheng Qingfang indicated for the old servant minds his own business.

He had been a high-ranking official in the imperial court for so many years, so it was natural for him to have come across a few marveling sights of skillful painting. However, those few painters were old.

After all, the skill of painting required valuable experience. But Sun Mo, how old was he? It was indeed too formidable for a twenty-year-old man to have reached such a state.

As for his novel, even though his literature was not as superior, the story was extremely well-written. As Zheng Qingfang closed his eyes now, the arrogant and unyielding Monkey King, the determined and persistent Reverend Sanzang, the lecherous and greedy Zhu Bajie, and a Monk Sha[1] with no sense of existence but was still recallable, all remained vivid in his mind...[2]

Zheng Qingfang didn't dare to say that this novel was a masterpiece handed down from ancient times. However, in many years to come, there was no problem for it to become famous in the Middle Earth Nine Provinces.

Zheng Qingfang presented the chasing cloud dagger to Sun Mo out of admiration for his talent. This was because this teenager whose smile was as bright as sunshine had extraordinary skills in writing and painting.

"Take it, I'm old anyway. I don't have a chance of riding a horse anymore."

When Zheng Qingfang saw that Sun Mo declined, his expression became stiff. "Stop rejecting it, are you not treating me as a close friend?"

The old servant was speechless. (Oh, Old Master, you can't ride a horse anymore, but your descendants still can, especially your grandson who has been eyeing this dagger for a long time. Now that you have given it to Sun Mo, your grandson will surely find trouble for me.)

"It's really too valuable!"

Sun Mo didn't know what to say.

"Teacher is so awesome!"

Seeing how Zheng Qingfang wanted to give such a precious spirit weapon to Sun Mo, Lu Zhiruo's entire heart was filled with admiration for her teacher.

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Lu Zhiruo +20.

Prestige connection Lu Zhiruo: Friendly (233/1,000).

"Take it, if you're a man, then stop being wishy-washy!"

After Zheng Qingfang handed over the dagger to Sun Mo, he emptied another cup and started laughing uncontrollably.

"I have never expected to see the birth of a famous painting. Previously, I was still thinking if your painting was not too bad, then I would purchase one for ten taels of silver. Ridiculous, how ridiculous!"

Zheng Qingfang thought that he was lucky he had not quoted a price, if not it would have been too embarrassing.

Lu Zhiruo and the old servant laughed as well, ten taels of silver? Even if you multiplied it a hundred times, it wasn't enough to purchase the painting of Sanzang's journey.
