Chapter 35: 35
The mood in town turned heavy due to the issues surrounding Zhang Baogen . Even though everyone was accustomed to living under the rule of the stronghold, when they realized that their right to life was not within their control, they grew gloomy .
Ren Xiaosu had something on his mind all day . Based on what Wang Fugui had told him, Zhang Baogen was more or less done for the moment he got captured and sent to the psychiatric hospital .
After the people from the stronghold finished conducting thorough research on him, he would surely have suffered terribly even if he did not die . Most importantly, Zhang Baogen had lost his freedom from this day onwards .
As for Ren Xiaosu himself, his secret was much bigger than Zhang Baogen's .
He had unlocked many features of his mind palace, but there were still many other features left waiting for Ren Xiaosu to explore . Even Ren Xiaosu himself did not know how deep the palace interior went and what level it would elevate him to eventually .
If his secret were revealed, it wouldn't be surprising if he got taken away by the people from the stronghold and had his brains taken out and sliced apart .
Ren Xiaosu had gone to school earlier and found Yan Liuyuan . He somberly instructed him to not reveal his secret to anyone and told him that this concerned their life and death .
The two brothers did not have the ability to take on the stronghold yet .
Inside and outside of the stronghold, thick and continuous trails of white smoke were spewing out through the factory chimneys into the sky . The clock in the stronghold was still ringing on time . It was as though nothing had happened .
Today, Mr . Zhang seemed a little downtrodden . Sometimes, his mind would wander as he delivered his lessons . Whenever his students reminded him that he was losing his focus, he would bow and apologize to them .
Finally, Mr . Zhang said, "Students, I'm sorry . I can't teach well today due to some personal issues . Class, study by yourselves . We won't be having any more lessons today . "
Ren Xiaosu did not go back straight to the clinic . He wanted to calm himself down at a "quiet" place like the school and think about the future of Yan Liuyuan, Xiaoyu, and him .
When Ren Xiaosu took over the lessons in the afternoon, he did not teach anything new either . Frankly, his mind was not present at all today .
By the time school ended, Ren Xiaosu surprisingly did not make the class stay late . He was only concerned with getting Yan Liuyuan home early .
Ren Xiaosu said, "Class dismissed . I won't be teaching y'all about other things today . "
"All rise!" the class monitor said .
"Thank you, Teacher!"
"Gratitude received from Li Youqian, +1!
"Gratitude received from Wang Dalong, +1!
"Gratitude received from…"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned by this . There were only 24 fucking students in the entire class, but he managed to gain 23 gratitude token coins when he dismissed the class?
Yan Liuyuan was the only one he didn't earn a gratitude token from . Yan Liuyuan had also noticed that Ren Xiaosu was a little absent-minded today, so he was more concerned about what was happening with his brother rather than thinking about going out to play after school .
Ren Xiaosu stared blankly at the little bastards as they ran away and disappeared without a trace . So they didn't like his lessons after all?
'Y'all better fucking watch out! What is so bad with my teaching!'
It was a very fascinating day . Ren Xiaosu had worked very hard for nearly a fortnight just to earn 12 gratitude tokens . But in just one day today, he managed to gain 23 gratitude tokens .
