Therefore, Mo Mo interpreted the letter as having two meanings: one literal and the other hidden. Besides the literal meaning, Guo Jing also told Mo Mo in the letter that everything he had entrusted to him was safe and sound, the training of the special forces had officially begun, but another mission was proving troublesome and not going smoothly. He hoped Mo Mo could lend him a hand in the capital.
"It seems I need to speed things up too. I can't hold Guo Jing back. After all, he's not the real commander of Xiangyang City, so he's not in a position to act freely!" Mo Mo sighed after reading the letter.
Li Mochou glanced at the letter on the table, but eventually, driven by curiosity, she picked it up and read it for a few moments before saying, "What are you talking about? This letter is clearly about family matters, and Huang Rong even had two babies! I remember in my past life I mistakenly thought that baby girl was my junior sister's child and that she had been kidnapped. I think she was fed leopard milk later. I wonder if that little girl will still drink leopard milk now that we're gone. I think I should catch a leopard and send it to them!"
Mo Mo "..."
"Hey, how about we have a baby together and have some fun? I've lived two lives and never experienced what it's like to be a mother. I really want to try it," Li Mochou said, nudging Mo Mo.
Mo Mo "..."
"This is too much information; let me sort it out first."
In the end, Mo Mo very tactfully told Li Mochou that her dream of becoming a mother was basically impossible if she were with him, because the chance of her conceiving Mo Mo's child was only one in a billion.
"What! You're not good enough? No wonder you didn't make a move on us that night, and you haven't made a move on us in all the opportunities you've had over the past six months, especially since I was the one who took the initiative many times. But don't be ashamed, I won't look down on you. Even if you're not good enough, I'll still be there for you." Li Mochou said in shock.
"Keep your voice down, okay? I never said I couldn't, but it's basically impossible for you to conceive my child. As for the specific reasons, you wouldn't understand even if I told you," Mo Mo said helplessly.
"Oh, that's good. I thought you were a eunuch. As long as you're not, that's fine." Li Mochou patted her chest and said.
Mo Mo "..."
The next day, the final assessment that everyone had been waiting for was finally about to begin. Before it was fully light, most of the students had already arrived. When the sun rose above the treetops, the people in charge of the assessment finally arrived, and the final test officially began.
Those students who failed the initial screening finally experienced what it meant to be treated differently. One of them fell into a trap as soon as they entered the woods, even though the trap was just a small pit a meter deep. But this was only the beginning. Less than twenty meters in, they had already fallen into three traps, while the students on the other side, whom they could no longer see, hadn't encountered a single trap. Thus, the final test began under extremely unfair conditions.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 79
The assessment had been underway for half an hour, and the onlookers outside the royal garden had gradually calmed down from their initial shock. After all, although the screams of the students inside were very pitiful, half an hour had passed and their screams were still so energetic. Moreover, the dean had said that there was absolutely no danger to their lives; at most, they would only suffer some injuries.
"They're really energetic! It's been half an hour and their screams are still so strong. It's good to be young!" An official with graying hair couldn't help but sigh as he listened to the screams echoing through the woods, and the others around him couldn't help but agree.
The garden was now like a ghost town, with screams echoing like a never-ending river. Strangely, however, these people were not injured despite their screams, and most of their injuries were from falls while they were trying to escape.
"Brother Li, are we really going? That's a Peng bird! If I hadn't run fast, it would have caught me." A young student dressed in white with a slightly bruised face said, while glancing repeatedly at the giant golden bird in the distance. This giant bird perched on a large tree, and its size was at least taller than an average adult. It was truly a giant bird, and it was ready to fight without any hesitation.
“Brother Zhang, don’t be afraid. After observation, we found that this Peng bird only looks fierce. It doesn’t actually harm us. Otherwise, we would have died many times over. You know, according to the seal we have, the Peng bird can fight against a dragon. This Peng bird only resembles it in appearance and does not have the Peng bird’s true power. Moreover, the seal says that it is only powerful in the air. Without the advantage of the air, we can capture it. Let’s take another look at the description and see if there is any useful information.” The student surnamed Li analyzed. However, his appearance was not much better than that of the student surnamed Zhang. Although there were no visible wounds, his white clothes were not only colorful but also torn in some places.
The two carefully examined the information projected by the imprint left on the jade tablet in their hands, afraid of missing even a little bit and failing the test. They only discovered this thing after they entered the forest and encountered the roc in front of them. To be more precise, it actively emitted light to indicate this after they encountered the roc. The two were almost in despair after seeing the information on it, as were the others in the forest.
The information above tells them that the monsters in front of them are their mission targets. These ferocious beasts are all transformed from the jade tokens used to pass the test. Once they are captured, they will revert to their original forms. Obtaining the jade token means passing the test. Moreover, the information projected by the jade token is very thoughtful. It directly shows all the weaknesses of these ferocious beasts.
After reviewing the information again, the two discussed their strategy and carefully checked it to ensure there were no errors or omissions. They then made their way back to the large tree where the roc perched. Three minutes later, they returned to their previous spot. Although they were still unharmed, their clothes were tattered and their hair was disheveled.
"Brother Li, the Peng bird is too powerful! I didn't even get close before it swatted me away with one wing. Although I wasn't injured, it really hurt!" the student surnamed Zhang said with a mournful face.
"We miscalculated. Although the roc was not very agile after landing, its wings were too wide. It swatted us away before we could even get close. It seems we need to come up with a new plan," the student surnamed Li replied.
Finally, after two more failures, they successfully pounced on the Peng bird. When they were pounced on, the Peng bird transformed into a crystal jade pendant. More than an hour later, the two of them helped each other out of the forest. By this time, their clothes had successfully turned into strips of cloth, and some of them were even charred. However, they had the joy of success on their faces because they had obtained two jade pendants.
With success comes failure, and some people emerged looking disheveled. After nearly two hours of assessment, about thirty or forty people had finished outside the garden. Most of them looked rather disheveled, and some of the women were quite a sight to behold. However, they could only catch a glimpse of them briefly, as maids were already waiting nearby. Whenever a girl came out, they would bring her clothes to wear, but only a few of them did so. After all, that was the way of the times; men were superior to women, and women were not allowed to show their faces in public, let alone participate in such an assessment.
Ultimately, the assessment lasted four hours, and only thirty-seven people were able to obtain the jade tokens. Thirteen jade tokens remained unclaimed. These jade tokens were mostly found in the water or on trees. After all, it is virtually impossible to catch a giant beast in the water with bare hands, and birds are also difficult to catch due to their agility and versatility.
When the last person left the forest and went outside, Mo Mo finally appeared. The crowd below was shocked to see Mo Mo walking on air, followed by ecstasy. After all, Mo Mo's success meant that they could achieve the same in the future. However, Mo Mo's next words cooled their ecstatic hearts.
"Today, the assessment has finally been completed. I am both pleased and disappointed. I am pleased that you have successfully passed the test I set and become disciples of the academy. However, I am also disappointed because I had expected fifty disciples this time, but now there are only thirty-seven. There are still thirteen spots available. However, I have already prepared the necessary materials, and it would be a waste to leave them empty. I have decided to give these thirteen spots to the teachers or great scholars of various academies. Remember, the academy will officially start classes in three days. Those who are absent by then will have all their qualifications revoked."
"And the most important point is, why are there so few girls? Everything in the world has yin and yang. Yin alone cannot produce life, and yang alone cannot grow. Only when yin and yang are in balance can all things grow, and the same applies to cultivation." After Mo Mo finished speaking, the people below seemed to be deep in thought.
"No wonder Wangchen Academy allows women to participate in the assessment. Now I understand. It's true that hearing your words is worth more than reading for ten years!"
"I didn't expect that more than thirty people would pass the final test. I thought it would be good if there were only twenty or so. But it's good to have more. Once I've trained them, I can save a lot of effort. Anyway, I'm just herding one sheep or two, so it doesn't make much difference if there are ten or so more." Mo Mo looked at the people below with some surprise.
Upon returning to the academy, Mo Mo saw Li Mochou sitting there muttering something to him. Mo Mo glanced at her and then returned to the alchemy room. After all, the assessment was over, and he believed that it wouldn't be long before Wangchen Academy became a sacred place in the hearts of students all over the world. Mo Mo was also preparing to implement his plan. Although he couldn't achieve it all at once, he could plan it slowly. The most important thing now was to make Guo Jing's status legitimate. After all, Guo Jing was only assisting in the defense of the city at the moment, and strictly speaking, he wasn't even a soldier of the Song Dynasty.
I retrieved a bottle of Beauty Elixir and a bottle of Longevity Elixir from the alchemy room. As the names suggest, the Beauty Elixir nourishes the complexion, allowing one to maintain a youthful appearance and even reverse aging. However, due to the grade of the elixir, it can only make the user ten years younger and can only maintain a youthful appearance without extending lifespan. The Longevity Elixir, on the other hand, naturally extends lifespan. Also limited by the grade of the elixir, one Longevity Elixir extends lifespan by ten years, the second by five years, the third by one year, and after three pills, it has no further effect.
Although Mo Mo was once extremely skilled in alchemy, even able to refine the legendary Nine-Turn Golden Pill, which could achieve the Great Luo Fruit level with just one pill, he is now limited by the energy within his body and can only refine pills at the peak of the second stage. These pills are suitable for cultivation systems before the Nascent Soul stage, such as the Four Extremes stage in Shrouding the Heavens.
"With these two bottles of pills, Guo Jing should be able to at least become a military officer or something. Plus, his connections in Xiangyang should be enough. Of course, it would be even better if he could directly become the garrison commander of Xiangyang," Mo Mo thought to himself as he put away the two bottles of pills.
As Mo Mo passed through the garden after leaving the alchemy room, he saw Li Mochou sitting under a tree, muttering something. Upon closer listening, he discovered that Li Mochou was repeating what he had just told his future student, but it sounded somewhat different. Mo Mo assumed that Li Mochou had been struck by Xiaolongnu's words and had suddenly realized her mistake, preparing to dedicate herself to cultivation. However, ever since Mo Mo taught them the cultivation method adapted from the Taiyin True Scripture, Xiaolongnu had completely unleashed her homebody tendencies, spending almost all her time cultivating except for eating and sleeping, and had now left Li Mochou far behind.
What Mo Mo didn't notice was that when Li Mochou saw him, her eyes brightened, and then she stared at his back, repeatedly saying, "Yin cannot exist alone, Yang cannot grow alone, Yin and Yang must be in harmony," her eyes shining frighteningly.

Chapter 80 Planning
Just a few minutes after leaving the academy, Mo Mo arrived outside the imperial city. The guards at the city gate saw Mo Mo and hurriedly went in to report, then looked at Mo Mo with admiration. Mo Mo smiled and nodded at them.
A dozen minutes later, the guard came out hurriedly with an old eunuch. Judging from their sweaty faces, Mo Mo guessed they must have run all the way here, otherwise, even though the weather was hot, they wouldn't be sweating so much after just a few steps.
The eunuch looked to be in his fifties or sixties. Mo Mo knew he was the personal eunuch of the current emperor, Zhao Yun, who was a ninth-generation descendant of Zhao Dezhao, son of Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. Based on the time when Xiangyang was captured and the sixteen-year agreement between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, it was roughly 1257. Zhao Yun died in 1264, though there might be some discrepancy, as he saw a very famous figure, Wen Tianxiang, among those who participated in the entrance examination.
Wen Tianxiang, courtesy name Lushan, was bestowed the courtesy name Songrui and the sobriquet Wenshan. "Duke of Xinguo" was Wen Tianxiang's title. Wen Tianxiang was from Jizhou (now Ji'an). From a young age, he loved reading biographies of loyal ministers and martyrs and aspired to serve the country with utmost loyalty. In the fourth year of the Baoyou reign of Emperor Lizong of Song (1256), he achieved the highest rank in the imperial examination with the strategy of "Heaven's laws never cease". However, due to his father's death, he returned home to observe mourning for three years. In the first year of the Kaiqing reign (1259), he was appointed as Chengshilang and concurrently signed the official affairs of the Ninghai Army Military Governor's Office. Later, he served as a senior official in the Ministry of Justice, the Jiangxi Provincial Judicial Commissioner, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Hunan Provincial Judicial Commissioner, and the Prefect of Ganzhou. [3] His works include "Complete Works of Wenshan" and "Wenshan Yuefu". Famous works include "Ode to Righteousness" and "Passing Lingdingyang". When the Yuan invaded the Song, he advocated resistance against the Yuan. After being captured by the Yuan, he refused the Yuan general's offer of surrender and wrote the poem "Passing Lingdingyang" to express his determination. His poems in his later years were characterized by their stirring and poignant style, reflecting his unwavering national integrity and indomitable fighting spirit. He believed that as the "top scholar and prime minister" of the Song Dynasty, he must die to fulfill his "loyalty." He was later killed by the Yuan Dynasty.
Logically, Wen Tianxiang should have become the top scholar in 1256, but he appeared in Mo Mo's entrance examination for Wangchen Academy. Moreover, as far as Mo Mo knew, his father had not died. Mo Mo was very happy when he discovered Wen Tianxiang because the future dean of Wangchen Academy had been found.
Just look at his life story and you'll know. A single poem, "Ode to Righteousness," is enough for him to cultivate to become an Earth Immortal, with the potential to become a Celestial Immortal. After all, the cultivation method created by Mo Mo was based on righteousness, and "Ode to Righteousness" is a top-ranking masterpiece of righteousness throughout history.
The eunuch approached Mo Mo and bowed respectfully before saying, "Upon learning of the Dean's arrival, His Majesty has set aside all his other duties and is rushing to the Imperial Garden to await your arrival. May I ask what brings the Dean to the palace?"
Mo Mo gestured for him to come forward, then said as they walked, "It's nothing major. I was just thinking about how busy His Majesty is with the affairs of state and the people, so I started refining two batches of elixirs to help him recover. Coincidentally, a brother of mine in Xiangyang sent me a letter. I know he's been helping defend the city, but he's not an official, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to ask him for a position. I hope you'll put in a good word for him with His Majesty later." As he spoke, he took out a jade bottle about the size of a thumb.
"This is a longevity pill, which can add ten years to one's lifespan. I hope you will accept it, sir." Mo Mo placed the small jade bottle into the eunuch's hand.
"This, Dean, you mustn't accept this. It's too precious. I dare not accept it." The eunuch was first shocked, then horrified, and repeatedly declined.
"Your Excellency, please accept this without worry. I still have some of this stuff. I've already prepared a bottle for the Emperor, with more than a dozen pills. Besides, this stuff is useless if you take too many. You can only take a maximum of three pills. The first pill lasts ten years, the second five years, and the third one year. After three pills, it will have no effect."
After hearing Mo Mo's words, the eunuch was relieved and accepted the pills. He then repeatedly said that he would definitely ask the emperor to appoint his brother as a general. Mo Mo could tell that he was not lying and really meant it, so Mo Mo was naturally happy to agree.
The two walked around the palace for about ten minutes before arriving at the Imperial Garden. After all, there were many rules in the palace, and one could not just walk wherever one wanted. Therefore, it was not uncommon for people to have to walk a long way even though the straight-line distance between the two places was not very far.
After half an hour, Mo Mo finally met the current emperor, Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was over fifty years old and not in good spirits. After all, the current government was basically controlled by Ding Daquan, Jia Sidao and others, and the long-term handling of government affairs had also consumed a lot of his energy. Although he was only in his fifties, he looked almost the same as an old man in his seventies.
Mo Mo casually nodded to Emperor Zhao Yun and then found a place to sit down. Zhao Yun did not say anything, but the eunuch who brought Mo Mo in quickly ran to Zhao Yun and whispered something to him.
Although they were speaking very softly, Mo Mo could still hear their conversation very clearly. It was nothing more than the eunuch telling Zhao Yun what Mo Mo had just said, and then Zhao Yun asking him if it was accurate.
The two whispered for two or three minutes before ending their conversation. After they finished, the eunuch stood quietly behind Zhao Yun, while Zhao Yun looked at Mo Mo with a smile and said, "I wonder what brings the Dean here? I wonder if I can be of any help?"
Mo Mo didn't waste any words and directly placed the two bottles of pills on the table, saying, "These two bottles of pills are what I refined a few days ago. The one with the red stopper contains the Beauty Pill, which can keep one's appearance youthful and even reverse aging. However, it can only make the user ten years younger and can only preserve and nourish the appearance, not extend lifespan. The one with the white stopper contains the Longevity Pill. Taking one pill can extend lifespan by ten years, the second by five years, the third by one year, and after taking three pills, there will be no further effect."
"I've come here for two reasons. First, to deliver elixirs to His Majesty. Second, I want to ask for an official position for my brother who is far away in Xiangyang. Although he has never said it, I know he is suffering greatly. He possesses the martial arts manual of Yue Fei but cannot realize his ambitions. He can only help defend the city in Xiangyang, feeling frustrated. He has formidable skills but is restricted by the lack of an official position. So, after he sent me a letter a few days ago, I wanted to ask for an official position for him. I wonder what His Majesty thinks?"
"The Dean's brother is indeed a great talent. I believe in the Dean's character and in the character of his brother. He must be a great hero who will serve the country and its people. What is his name? I want to bestow upon him the title of Grand General, and from now on, Xiangyang will be in his hands," Zhao Yun said passionately.
"His name is Guo Jing. He is a sworn brother of the Yang family. His father died saving his brother. Therefore, they made an agreement that if the Yang and Guo families were of the same sex, they would be brothers and sisters, and if they were of different sexes, they would be husband and wife," Mo Mo said with some emotion.
"Yang? Is it that Yang?" Zhao Yun asked, somewhat surprised.
Mo Mo nodded.
"I only knew that he was a famous hero in the martial arts world, with superb martial arts skills, and was a disciple of Hong Qigong, the Northern Beggar, one of the Five Greats. I never expected that he would have such a background. Just because he is a brother of the Yang family, I can entrust Xiangyang to him with peace of mind," Zhao Yun said with emotion.
"Alright, I've finished my business and should be going now. After all, the academy starts in a couple of days, and there's still a lot to do." Mo Mo said, getting up to leave.
"Dean, please wait a moment. I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should," Zhao Yun said hesitantly.
"Oh? Go on." After saying that, Mo Mo sat back down on the stool.
"May I ask how old the dean is this year? Is he married?" Zhao Yun asked cautiously.
Mo Mo "..."
"If you're asking about my age, I can tell you that my current appearance reflects my real age. If you're asking how many years I've lived, it's best you don't know. Besides, I already have a wife, although she's not in this world right now," Mo Mo said calmly, glancing at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up when he heard Mo Mo say that his current appearance was his real age, but dimmed when he heard that Mo Mo already had a wife. However, his eyes lit up completely when he heard the last sentence, and he said nervously, "I have a granddaughter who is sixteen years old. She is gentle and virtuous. She admires the Dean very much. Since the day she met the Dean, she has been unable to eat or drink. Her grandmother has been nagging me every day to arrange a marriage for her. I wonder what the Dean thinks? Moreover, although my granddaughter cannot be called a beauty that can topple kingdoms, she is no less beautiful than the two teachers in the academy."
"They're trying to tie me to their ship completely! But he'll have to do the rest, so let's compromise for now."
Thinking of this, Mo Mo said, "Although it is said that marriage is arranged by parents and matchmakers, I cannot agree to it now. Let her study at my Wangchen Academy first, and then let things take their natural course. I would like to remind Your Majesty that hesitation will only lead to trouble. Moreover, Your Majesty, you can live for at least another sixteen years. There are many things you can do. After the Jin dynasty is destroyed, our Song dynasty will be the first to suffer. If we do not want the humiliation of the past to be repeated, we must change. And if we do not want to be beaten, we must be stronger than others. Only with strength can we speak with authority."
After saying that, Mo Mo got up and left.
"The plan has finally been successfully implemented. Next, we need to gradually change things and accumulate strength. Ding Daquan and Jia Sidao, I hope you know what's good for you, or I won't hesitate to kill you."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 81: The Opening Ceremony Begins
It took more than ten minutes to enter the palace, but only five or six minutes to leave, because this time no one was there to escort Mo Mo. Was Mo Mo the kind of person who would follow the palace rules meticulously? Obviously not, so he took whichever route was shortest, occasionally even scaling walls. However, Mo Mo still gave Zhao Yun some face and didn't fly out directly, and he also witnessed the emperor's extravagance.
Because Mo Mo only chose the shortest route, he inadvertently passed by the emperor's harem. He was just passing by, but he deliberately went to take a look. Even in that fleeting glance, he saw a dozen or twenty women of varying beauty and charm, ranging in age from sixteen to thirty. However, the most common sights he encountered along the way were all sorts of palace maids. Seeing this, Mo Mo couldn't help but sigh. The emperor was truly extravagant; how could he, in his old age, still possess so many beautiful women? What a waste! No wonder so many people wanted to travel back to ancient times and become emperor.
"Unfortunately, this is their family matter, and I shouldn't interfere too much. I can only suggest that he release the palace maids from the palace as soon as possible to find them a good family, preferably a job similar to a waitress, where the palace pays them a salary and they can resign and get married when they reach a certain age. But thinking about it, that's probably not very likely."
However, Mo Mo didn't expect that because of his words, the palace maids would later indeed be hired through an application system, just as he had imagined, though with slight differences. Later, the palace maids were divided into two types: those hired through the application system as Mo Mo had envisioned, and those following the traditional model. The hired maids were basically only responsible for miscellaneous tasks and less important matters, while only the traditional maids were qualified to personally care for the palace concubines. But that's a story for another time.
Back at the academy, Mo Mo discovered that Li Mochou had vanished. After all, she was a renowned fairy in the martial world, with her own social circle and affairs; she couldn't possibly be by Mo Mo's side all the time. Perhaps because her memories of the previous reincarnation hadn't been reset, the current Li Mochou wasn't the feared Crimson Lotus Fairy of her past life, though she was only slightly better off. She couldn't defy the rules of this world. Therefore, the first thing she did after descending the mountain was to cripple Lu Zhanyuan. Her first act was to eliminate him. She then specifically targeted unfaithful men and notorious womanizers, those she targeted almost always ending up dead or seriously injured. Thus, Li Mochou's reputation in the martial world was now mixed, a figure both righteous and evil.
With Li Mochou gone, Mo Mo was happy to have some free time and continued tinkering with his various inventions. However, Li Mochou always thought that they were just toys that Mo Mo designed when he was bored, purely to pass the time, and had no use at all.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Wangchen Academy truly began to liven up. It was no longer as lively as before, only during the assessment period. At other times, the huge academy only had three or five gardeners besides Mo Mo and his two companions, and even only one cook. After all, there weren't many people in the academy, and Mo Mo and his companions didn't need anyone to serve them. Speaking of these gardeners and the cooks who officially moved in today, they were quite remarkable.
These people were mostly imperial craftsmen or from families with a long tradition of craftsmanship. Back then, a series of competitions were even held for these few positions. Only the winners could stay at Wangchen Academy, while the losers had to go back to their own homes.
Outside the gates of Wangchen Academy, hundreds of people gathered. These were all students who had obtained tokens. Mo Mo stipulated that those who obtained the first token could become outer disciples of the academy and would receive half of a cultivation technique. Those who obtained the second token could become formal disciples and receive the complete cultivation technique. Even those who did not obtain a token were not without a chance. As long as they could impress the academy's teachers and pass the first two tests, they could become auditors of the academy, receive introductory cultivation methods, and attend Mo Mo's lectures.
However, there are only a little over a hundred people at the main gate right now. This is because Mo Mo has set up an illusion array at the main gate to test everyone's mental state. The first person to walk out of the illusion array with outstanding performance will receive a Foundation Establishment Pill. As for why there are only a little over a hundred people, it's because the academy currently only has three teachers: Mo Mo, Li Mochou, and Xiaolongnu. Given their personalities and perspectives, it would be good enough if anyone could impress them. How many more people could you expect?
Although both are called Foundation Building Pills, this Foundation Building Pill is not the same as the Foundation Building Pill used in the cultivation system. However, its function is similar. After taking it, it can improve the body's physique and help the user condense the first wisp of righteous energy. Basically, except for a few unlucky ones, everyone can successfully condense it, which may also be related to the fact that condensing righteous energy is not difficult.
"There are so few people. Back then, thousands of people participated in the assessment, but now only a handful remain. The academy's assessment is truly brutal, no less so than the imperial examination!" the man said with a sigh.
"You should be content. I've heard that the lowering of the standards is only because we are the first batch, the academy's reputation hasn't fully taken off yet, and there aren't many people here. Otherwise, at least half of the people here would have been eliminated."
"That's right, that's right! Just think about the Dean's supernatural abilities, he's practically a god!"
"Yes, and the other female teacher is absolutely stunning."
