Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 1141: Success In Killing the Emperor, Third Stage Starts!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Before meeting the Third Prince, Sun Mo managed to find Gu Xiuxun and Jin Mujie first.

The two of them had been traveling for over a month before they got to Jiangzhou and found Sun Mo.

“Get us some food first!” Gu Xiuxun moaned. “It’s been really tough for us to walk all the way here!”

In ancient times, it was very troublesome for women to travel, let alone to Jiangzhou, which had its order disrupted. If it wasn’t because the two of them were skilled in martial arts, they’d have been caught to be the wives of some bosses in a mountain stronghold.

“I just realized how hard it is to make a name for oneself without the great teacher status!”

Jin Mujie smiled bitterly.

This Jing Country in the game was a feudal society where women were expected to stay at home to serve their husbands and take care of their children. Those who went out to work were mostly prostitutes.

After entering the game, Gu Xiuxun and Jin Mujie didn’t know how to clear the stage. However, they knew that it’d definitely be right to try to climb up to greater heights. However, they were just ordinary ladies from farmer families and had no way to move to greater heights.

“My parents in the game wanted to marry me to a blacksmith! I fled out of fury!” Gu Xiuxun was very angry. “I’m a woman who can be the prime minister’s wife!”

“Husband, these two are…”

Mei Niang came over. When she saw that Sun Mo was chatting happily with two beautiful women, she suddenly felt very worried.

“My friends!” Sun Mo explained. “Help me to take care of them!”

“Who is this?” Gu Xiuxun bumped Sun Mo with her elbow.

“My wife!” Sun Mo shrugged.

“What?”

Gu Xiuxun was stunned and then got angry. (Why do you get to be a recommended-candidate and also have a beautiful wife in the game? This isn’t fair!)

…

Seven days later, Sun Mo met the Third Prince.

“You should let me go for the negotiation. If you get caught in a trap, then we’ll be left without a leader.”

Gu Xiuxun felt worried.

Over the past few days, she had attempted to lead a bunch of Red Turban Army’s people. However, they all looked down on her from the bottom of their hearts because she was a woman.

If Sun Mo were to die, this volunteer army would definitely crumble.

“Don’t worry, I have backup plans!”

Sun Mo arranged for a group of men to infiltrate Zhang County. It was the prime minister’s hometown and there were his clansmen there. If the Third Prince were to try anything reckless, he wouldn’t hold back.

If the Third Prince wished to vie for the throne, he must have the prime minister’s support. If the prime minister’s clansmen were to suffer due to the Third Prince trying to do something bad to the bandits, the prime minister would definitely hold a great hatred toward him.

It wasn’t long before both parties met.

The Third Prince was very brave and only brought along an advisor.

When he saw how young Sun Mo was, he was not only astonished, but his appreciation for talents also rose. He blamed Imperial Tutor Pang for not having taught his family well, which led to a pillar of the country being forced to become an outlaw. At the same time, he extended out an invitation.

“The imperial court didn’t plan on giving so many government positions. But as long as you’re willing to surrender, I’ll do my best to fight for more positions so that your brothers will have good prospects.”

The Third Prince said with courtesy.

It’d definitely be impossible to conclude such negotiations within a day.

Late at night, the Third Prince went to rest while his advisor went to look for Sun Mo.

“We’ve met again, Great Teacher Sun!”

The moment the advisor spoke up, Sun Mo was surprised. It was because judging from this person’s tone, he was clearly a player from the Nine Provinces.

“You are…”

Sun Mo thought of that mysterious man they had met back in the stone age. They shared the same accent.

“The condition to clear this stage should be to change the dynasty, right?”

The advisor took a sip of tea. “When I first entered the game, I also considered the plan that you have, but I decided against it because it’s not time for the Great Jing Country to fall into demise yet. However, it’s too slow to enter the imperial court through passing the examinations and eventually gaining power. Therefore, I chose to become the Third Prince’s advisor. As long as I succeed in helping him get the throne, I’ll be able to gain great authority. “

“I’m in admiration!”

Sun Mo wasn’t just trying to be polite.

A prince’s advisor wasn’t a position that anyone could get into. Sun Mo had thought of this idea before, but given how he hadn’t memorized the Four Books and the Five Classics, he was better off not embarrassing himself.

“It’s still quite difficult. Removing the crown prince and pushing a younger one up to the position is a great taboo for a country!”

The advisor sighed. The Third Prince hadn’t wanted to vie for the throne, and he was the one who had incited him to do it. As for why he didn’t choose to side with the First Prince?

The First Prince was already the crown prince, and he wouldn’t care much for an advisor, even if it was one with great talent. After one had reached the position of the crown prince, the way he viewed things would have changed.

“I thought about your plan previously. After receiving amnesty and being enlisted, you might be sent to the north to fend off against the other ethnic group. You’ll then stabilize your position in the imperial court through your military achievements. Of course, if you are to be more shameless, you can join the other ethnic group and head down south to wipe out the Jing Country.”

The advisor smiled. He stared at Sun Mo’s eyes. “But I feel that you’ll definitely have other plans. After all, these two plans are too mediocre.”

“That’s right! I want to kill the emperor!”

Sun Mo smiled.

“What?”

The advisor was stunned. He thought he had heard wrongly, but after Sun Mo repeated his statement, he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you crazy?”

“Who knows if there’s any time limit to this game? I don’t have the patience to wait for over a decade!”

Sun Mo’s lips twitched. “I want to pick a prince and help him ascend to the throne. I hope that after I kill the emperor, he can take the fruit of the labor. It’d be even better if he can guarantee my safety.”

“The difficulty is very high!”

The advisor frowned.

“Don’t I have you now?”

Sun Mo’s original plan was to take one step at a time. Now, with the additional help from this mysterious man, things would go on more smoothly.

The two of them discussed the entire night and came up with a detailed plan.

After the Third Prince found out what Sun Mo was planning to do, he was scared out of his wits. He instinctively wanted to draw his sword and kill Sun Mo, this great rebel.

However, he was stopped by his advisor. After having the pros and cons shared with him, he started to feel a little tempted.

“You won’t be killing your father. Sun Mo will be the one to do it. You only need to push the blame to the First Prince and get rid of him before he reacts.”

The advisor tried to persuade him. “As long as things are done right, we can even let Sun Mo kill the First Prince.”

“His martial arts…”

The Third Prince felt worried.

“Don’t worry, he doesn’t need two strikes to kill a person!”

The advisor guaranteed.

The plan was decided just like that. He’d help Sun Mo get a chance to meet the emperor while at the same time, try his best to bribe an imperial guard to pretend to make a slip on the Golden Imperial Hall and have his weapon snatched away by Sun Mo.

After all, it’d be too slow to kill someone without a weapon.

…

When the first snow of winter fell, the Mount Zhao’s bandits were enlisted and offered amnesty. At the same time, Sun Mo was granted an audience with the emperor as their representative, to show that they had submitted.

Before the sun rose, Sun Mo got up and was ready to head out.

“Husband!”

Mei Niang was very worried. This was Sun Mo’s first time going to the imperial court.

“I’m sorry!”

Sun Mo stroked Mei Niang’s hair. “I’ll try my best to leave behind a large sum of money, so you won’t have to worry about anything in your life.”

“I don’t want anything else. I just want to be together with you!”

Mei Niang shook her head and hugged Sun Mo tightly.

“En!”

Sun Mo agreed, but he knew that this departure would probably be forever.

When the sky lit up, Sun Mo arrived at the palace and waited to be granted an audience. After a while, a eunuch finally came to summon Sun Mo for an audience with the emperor.

Five minutes later, Sun Mo stood in the Golden Imperial Hall.

He was over 50 meters away from the emperor, and there were over 100 civil and military officials on both sides. There were also armed imperial guards.

“How dare you not kneel when you’re before the emperor!”

A eunuch shouted out.

“I’d like to ask Your Majesty, do you really not know about the actions of vermin like Imperial Tutor Pang?”

Sun Mo was asking randomly to distract everyone’s attention.

As expected, when Imperial Tutor Pang’s political enemies heard this, they immediately hushed and looked like they were prepared to watch a good show.

“How dare you! Kneel and speak!”

An imperial guard reproached and walked over quickly, wanting to force Sun Mo to his knees.

A general frowned. Without the emperor’s orders, imperial guards weren’t allowed to leave their positions. However, there didn’t seem to be an issue when they were dealing with a great bandit leader.

However, when the imperial guard walked up to Sun Mo and was about to kick out at his knees to have him kneel, Sun Mo finally erupted, pushing his hand onto the guard’s face to hit him away. At the same time, he drew the guard’s sword and pounced toward the emperor.

Hua!

The imperial court was thrown into chaos.

“Protect His Majesty!”

The imperial guards pounced toward Sun Mo, unafraid of death.

Sun Mo went all out as well. To get close to the emperor at the fastest speed, he even chose not to dodge some attacks that weren’t lethal.

The Third Prince clenched his fists, praying for Sun Mo’s success.

Some generals pounced for Sun Mo while others went to protect the emperor.

Sun Mo killed an imperial guard each time he slashed, sending heads rolling and corpses falling everywhere. However, the 40-meter distance was like a great ravine.

The first moment he saw that something was amiss, the emperor planned on leaving the place.

“This is bad! I treated things too simply!”

Although Sun Mo was good at fighting, his constitution was that of a mediocre recommended-candidate. Faced against the carefully selected imperial guards, he was unable to rapidly clear up the place.

When the emperor saw that Sun Mo couldn’t reach him, he pushed away the eunuch who was in front of him. He bellowed loudly at Sun Mo, “Catch him alive! I’m going to give him a slow execution… Ah!”

The emperor’s voice suddenly turned into an agonizing cry toward the end.

Everyone was given a fright and turned to look over. They saw that the emperor’s neck had a big wound, and blood was gushing out furiously.

A civil official was standing next to him.

He was the one who had gotten close to the emperor during the chaos, in the name of protecting him. He then used the blade he had hidden under his tongue to slit the emperor’s throat.

“Sun Mo, this time around, it’s my win!”

The civil official’s voice changed. It was a lady’s voice.

“Who are you?” Sun Mo frowned.

“Dark great teacher!”

After the civil official said that, she snatched over a blade from an imperial guard and started killing. “Do you want to compete and see who can be the first to escape?”

“I’m in no mood for that!”

Sun Mo had to give it to them. First, there was a mysterious man and now there was a female dark great teacher. The Black-White Academy’s security was really close to nothing.

Of course, there was also a possibility that this female dark great teacher was too strong, being at the level of the five Doyens or seven Starlords.

It was impossible to escape from the palace, especially when the imperial guards were going all out. After all, the emperor had died. If they were unable to take down the murderer, then nine generations of their family would be executed.

Thankfully, the Third Prince was a man of his words. It could also be due to certain worries that he had eventually spared Sun Mo and the civil official’s lives.

When the two of them were imprisoned, they knew nothing about the situation out there.

Sun Mo stayed behind bars for three months. When spring came and flowers bloomed, he was switched out with a condemned criminal.

“We’ve succeeded! The Third Prince has ascended the throne!”

The advisor looked extremely fatigued.

To ensure that the Third Prince could sit steadily on the throne, he had put in a lot of effort and had killed a lot of people. It could be that he was too outstanding that he had won the Third Prince’s absolute trust.

“It’ll be up to you next!”

Sun Mo felt that this person wasn’t bad. After all, based on the current situation, they should be on opposing sides. His best choice would be to kill him and keep the results to himself.

“En!”

The advisor nodded. However, he couldn’t help but extend an invitation to Sun Mo. “Do you want to join the Dark Dawn?”

“What is it that you want?”

Sun Mo felt curious.

“This world is being controlled and toyed with by a mysterious faction. I want to kill them all!”

The advisor’s reply made Sun Mo feel very surprised.

“Mysterious faction? Even more mysterious than the Dark Dawn?”

“I can’t say much about it because they can exist anywhere!”

The advisor looked up toward the sky. “It’s very likely that they were the ones to design this game!”

“…”

Sun Mo frowned.

“I’m in no hurry. You can think about it slowly!”

The advisor patted Sun Mo on the shoulder.

Sun Mo left. The civil official and the advisor were the only ones left in the room.

“What are you up to?”

The advisor frowned.

“Leader!”

The civil official lowered her head, looking a little frightened. “You know that I have a great interest in strange things like this. Therefore, I infiltrated the Black-White Academy, wanting to make sense of this Black-White Star Disk!”

“Be careful! Sun Mo is very smart!”

The advisor reminded her. He was the leader of the Dark Dawn, the Dawn Sovereign. And under this civil official’s disguise was the Yin-Yang Child Granny.

Just as the Dawn Sovereign was ready to support the Third Prince and go all out, a voice rang out abruptly.

“The second game has ended. Ten seconds later, a new round will begin. Please keep up the good work!”

10!

9!

…

Time was too tight that Sun Mo, who had just walked out from his hiding spot, was unable to get back home in time and bid goodbye to Mei Niang.

Everything in front of Sun Mo’s eyes turned dark. When things lit up again, his environment had completely changed.

Neon lights were flickering and there were towering buildings everywhere. The hawker stalls by the roadside were calling out to sell their goods, and some women were dressed in light summer clothings. Sun Mo almost thought that everything he had experienced previously was just a dream.

And that what he was seeing now was the reality.

“Did I get a heat stroke and develop illusions? I’m a teacher. How could I have gone to the ancient times to become a great teacher?”

Sun Mo lowered his head and saw that he was wearing slippers, shorts, and a singlet. He suddenly felt very at ease and subconsciously reached for his pockets, wanting to buy a bottle of soda.

“Sun Mo!”

“Teacher!”

Sun Mo raised his head when he heard the shouts. He saw An Xinhui, Li Ziqi, and Lu Zhiruo.

They were standing by the roadside in a daze, looking at the scene in front of them, feeling lost.

The men who passed by kept on sneaking looks at them. Even after they had walked a distance away, they’d still turn back to take a look. There was no helping it. The three of them were too beautiful.

This was especially so for Lu Zhiruo. The big papayas in front of her were justice.

When the three of them walked up to him, Sun Mo patted the lucky mascot’s head.

“Come, I’ll bring you guys to eat skewers!”

(I’m familiar with this world! And p*rn videos, I’m back!)
