Saying that Qin Mo cares very much about his reputation is not so exaggerated.
However, at Qin Mo's age now. To say that he doesn't care about face at all would be a bit too hypocritical. If it weren't for Li Yanhua coming forward in person and kneeling in front of him this time, Qin Mo would never care about Li Xiang's life or death.
He stole my pill and slandered me. Why should I care about him?
When they arrived at the Li family's house, Professor Lin and Li Xiang were lying on the bed, barely alive. Just yesterday, the two of them were still full of energy and confronting Qin Mo. But today, they had become skin and bones. The medicinal effect of the Small Nourishing Yuan Pill had completely taken effect on their bodies.
Last night, Professor Lin and Li Xiang were discussing new research products at home. As a result, they suddenly felt unwell, and that led to today's scene. The two of them were not cultivators and couldn't absorb the powerful energy emitted by the Small Nourishing Yuan Pill. In the end, their vitality was instead devoured by the medicinal properties inside their bodies.
When Li Xiang saw Qin Mo, he could only blink his eyes and open his mouth. That lip shape seemed to be saying, Please save me. It seemed that he finally realized the horror of the Small Nourishing Yuan Pill now.
Qin Mo took a casual look at him and placed his hands on the foreheads of Professor Lin and Li Xiang respectively.
All he needed to do was to absorb the medicinal properties of the Small Nourishing Yuan Pill into his own body. This was not a matter of medical treatment but a matter of cultivation.
Qin Mo frowned and burst out spiritual energy from his palm. Forming an extremely strong suction force, he quickly sucked out the remaining Small Nourishing Yuan Pill from the bodies of Li Xiang and Professor Lin. This was actually also beneficial to Qin Mo. It was equivalent to absorbing the vitality of the two people to improve his own cultivation. Of course, it was also a last resort.
The bodies of the two people recovered visibly.
Just now they were still skin and bones, but gradually became plump. Then gradually, their bodies basically returned to their original appearance, and their complexions also became rosy. But there was still some loss of vitality. The two of them still looked very weak now.
With the support of the servants, Li Xiang and Professor Lin immediately bowed to Qin Mo.
After this incident, the two of them were also completely convinced. They had no slightest dissatisfaction with Qin Mo. Before, Li Xiang, who was still arrogant, had become a student in front of Qin Mo. Professor Lin's old face was even a little red. He had been a doctor for many years and served as a professor for decades. In the end, his old life was saved by a student. Moreover, he had slandered this student.
"Mr. Qin, I know I was wrong."
Tears streamed down Li Xiang's face. Thinking of that scene last night, he was terrified. Watching his body wither like a flash in the pan, struggling in pain but having no way. Only then did he think of Qin Mo's warning. Fortunately, Qin Mo was magnanimous and the two of them recovered their lives.
Li Xiang returned all the remaining Small Nourishing Yuan Pills to Qin Mo.
After confirming that he hadn't given them to others, Qin Mo was relieved.
Qin Mo looked at Li Xiang indifferently. "From now on, you are not allowed to use the matter of pills to swindle and deceive and boost your own reputation. Also, this matter must not be made public. Finally, be more honest. Understood?"
Qin Mo didn't want too many people to know about the matter of alchemy.
If this matter was publicized, it might cause a sensation in China.
Li Xiang nodded hurriedly like a student. He obeyed Qin Mo's words. Even if he was not convinced, he had to be. Now Qin Mo's words were like imperial edicts to him.
Qin Mo took a casual look at Professor Lin. Professor Lin lowered his head deeply. Unable to say a word.
Under the respectful sending off of the three people, Qin Mo left the Li family. Li Xiang and Professor Lin were soaked in sweat on their backs. Only in the face of facts could they feel Qin Mo's power. In an instant, like a god, he had saved their lives.
"Grandpa, what background does this Mr. Qin have?" Li Xiang couldn't help asking.
Li Yanhua sighed and shook his head. Some levels were beyond his reach even. "I'm afraid he is a disciple of some great power!"
This matter passed for the time being.
The incident of Li Yanhua kneeling in the auditorium spread like a storm in the school. All kinds of rumors arose. Some said that Qin Mo's family was powerful and threatened the safety of Senior Li Xiang. Some said that Qin Mo was the truth and made Old Li bow down. There were also some who said that Qin Mo had abducted Li Yanhua's wife...
Oh my, these people's imaginations are really too wild.
The only ones who really knew the truth were only a few high-level school leaders. Qin Mo's disciplinary action was also quietly removed. As for the legends about Li Xiang that were circulating, the leaders didn't come out to refute or prove anything for Qin Mo. Qin Mo could understand it. After all, the bragging that had been blown out couldn't be taken back just by saying so.
Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
"This, classmate Qin. In order to compensate for your reputation, the school wants to post some glorious deeds for you." The school leader rubbed his hands and said with an embarrassed smile. Qin Mo was sitting on the sofa and waved his hand boredly. "No need. Is there anything else? If not, I'll leave first."
Being called over by the school turned out to be just for this matter of whitewashing Qin Mo. He was already white himself and didn't need them to wash him. As for those rumors, let them say whatever they want.
The school leader was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Qin Mo to not care at all about this.
"Well... There's one more thing..."
"Say it quickly."
"Professor Lin is recuperating recently, isn't he? The life sciences course he taught is temporarily without a teacher." The school leader was a bit embarrassed. "So, Professor Lin recommended you to be a lecturer for a few days."
When the school got this reply from Professor Lin, they were also stunned. Letting a sports student teach a class. Wasn't this a joke? But Professor Lin insisted that there was no better choice than Qin Mo. The school had to listen to Professor Lin.
Qin Mo was slightly stunned. Substituting a class? It was a rare thing. Qin Mo found it novel and agreed.
Early the next morning, Qin Mo reported to the medical department.
Entering the office, all the teachers looked over curiously. This student who could replace Professor Lin also caused quite a stir in the medical department.
A young and beautiful female teacher gave Qin Mo the usual schedule of Professor Lin. "Teacher Qin... Teacher Qin, this is Professor Lin's usual schedule. There will be one of his classes soon." When the young teacher called Qin Mo "Teacher Qin", she was still a bit unaccustomed.
"Hmph, the teacher is really blind. Dare to use anyone!"
Before Qin Mo could speak, a man stood up to get water. When passing by Qin Mo, he said coldly with a sneer. His name was Huo Jiang. He was considered a proud student of Professor Lin. After finishing his postdoctoral studies at Huahai University, he taught at Huahai University.
Because of his shallow qualifications, he had never been assigned a class.
Originally thinking that with Professor Lin sick, it was a good opportunity for him to take over and substitute. As a result, a student took away the opportunity. Huo Jiang naturally felt unhappy in his heart.
"Teacher Huo, this is arranged by the school. Don't say anymore." At this time, a bald middle-aged man came in and scolded Huo Jiang. This person was the director of the medical department, that is, the immediate superior in the medical department.
For the teacher appointed by the school, the director was also very puzzled.
Why?
But since it was someone recognized by the school, the director, an old fox, naturally wouldn't say much. Only in his eyes looking at Qin Mo, there was deep suspicion and contempt.
A sports student came to teach in the medical department. The school must be crazy. The director thought to himself.
Qin Mo also ignored these two people. After greeting the young teacher, he left. When it came to medicine and saving lives, Qin Mo thought he was much better than these people. Teaching college students was also not a problem.
In the large classroom of the medical department, the students were sitting in the classroom. Some students were still discussing Li Xiang's matter. It seemed that the heat hadn't passed yet.
Xu Yan quietly looked at the poplar tree outside the window. She had been absent-minded recently.
In her mind, she always remembered what Qin Mo said and the scene of Old Li kneeling to him. Some words could only be heard by Xu Yan who was also on the stage.
What Old Li said at that time was that he pleaded with Qin Mo to save Li Xiang.
And then she remembered what Qin Mo said to her...
"Am I so unworthy of your trust?"
Xu Yan felt her mind was in a mess. At first, she thought Qin Mo was just a simple person. Later, she found that she couldn't see through him more and more. What kind of person was he exactly?
"Xu Yan, do you know? Professor Lin is recuperating. There is a new substitute teacher in the class!"
Xu Yan was stunned. As the class monitor, Xu Yan didn't know.
"I heard that the new teacher is very young. And very handsome. I just don't know where he is from."
The students quickly shifted from the incident of Li Xiang to the discussion of the new teacher. A group of students were discussing there, all curious about what background this new teacher had. A teacher who could substitute for Professor Lin of the medical school must have great skills.
Just when the students were discussing, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open.
The discussion stopped abruptly with the person coming in. People stared dumbfounded as that person walked onto the podium. They were completely stunned. Some students couldn't help but rub their eyes to confirm that what they saw was real.
"impossible." They couldn't help but shake their heads and mutter. Xu Yan was shocked and covered her small mouth.
Could he have entered the wrong classroom?
Qin Mo's words well answered the doubts in the students' hearts.
They saw him smiling and greeting more than a hundred students present. "Hello everyone. I am your new lecturer. Qin Mo."
...
"No! I just can't be at ease with a sports student substituting a class!" Huo Jiang became more and more angry as he thought about it and stood up angrily from his office chair.
He had been waiting for the opportunity to substitute for almost a year.
However, there were many experts among the teachers of Huahai University. There was no opportunity for Huo Jiang to substitute. Usually, he could only help Professor Lin and do some assistant work.
Finally, when Professor Lin was sick and he had a chance to show his talent. As a result, Professor Lin actually let a sports student substitute. Wasn't this nonsense?
How could Huo Jiang be reconciled?
"Director, can you trust a sports student to teach the students of the medical department?" Huo Jiang angrily came to the director's office.
The director put down the document in his hand and also sighed and shook his head.
This was a rule set by the school. What could he do?
The director thought for a moment and took Huo Jiang out. "Okay, I'll go with you to see the teaching level of this Teacher Qin... If it's not good, I'll report to the school and 争取 this opportunity for you."
After hearing this, Huo Jiang was secretly delighted. He repeatedly thanked the director.
He didn't think that a sports student could teach well. At that time, when the director saw him teaching students blindly, he would definitely give me this qualification.
