Chapter 58: 58. Yang Xi’s Thoughts_1
Li Luobo really went crazy; usually, there was nothing wrong, except he couldn’t stand seeing people vomit or seeing someone outside the window. Every time someone passed by outside the window, he would frantically scream about ghosts…
Because of this, he indeed could no longer be the homeroom teacher, and nobody wanted to take over as the homeroom teacher of Grade 9, Class 2, so the position remained vacant for the time being.
Moreover, now the whole school is spreading rumors that so many things happened in Grade 9, Class 2 entirely because the classroom’s feng shui is bad, and there once was a student who committed suicide in the classroom, which is why such bizarre incidents occurred, even the homeroom teacher went mad!
All these events really frustrated the students of Grade 9, Class 2; they were even a bit scared to attend classes, fearing they might end up like Liu Yinghai… It’s said that Liu Yinghai’s family took him to the White Horse Temple to perform rituals…
However, Ren He knew that there were no issues with feng shui, nor had any student committed suicide in that classroom. At last, the school couldn’t withstand the pressure and decided to change the classroom for Grade 9, Class 2, while the original classroom was left vacant.
Suddenly, the entirety of Grade 9, Class 2 became a legend within the school, with all sorts of rumors flying around…
Of course, after the supernatural events gradually subsided, what everyone discussed the most was Ren He’s affairs, as they finally realized something, Ren He was truly incredible!
Just think about it, what had he been involved in recently? These were things that ordinary students couldn’t even dare to dream of!
But after this incident, Ren He completely vanished from everyone’s sight; he seemed to have suddenly turned over a new leaf. Even Yang Xi clearly noticed that Ren He hardly ever joined her on the rooftop to practice singing anymore, and he would go home early after school.
In the days without Ren He, Yang Xi suddenly felt as if her life was missing something. She no longer had as much interest in singing as before, and sometimes, she would sit on the rooftop, lost in thought for a long time.
Was it all just her imagination? Yang Xi didn’t believe so.
But why did Ren He seem to be disappearing from her world?
For the first time, Yang Xi started to feel anxious; at a certain moment on the rooftop, when she heard footsteps, she thought they might be Ren He coming to see her.
But there was nothing.
She suddenly remembered that Ren He once mentioned over the phone that he had written a novel. Could it be that he was busy writing? According to Ren He, the novel was only distributed in the Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei region, so she had no idea what it was like.
But she decided to ask her friends about it, to see if any of them had read the novel and to have them send her a copy.
This feeling was like when you meet someone who moves your heart one day; everything you do seems to be related to that person. You quietly flip through all his moods, even checking his personal signatures, not for any reason, but just to understand their world a little bit better.
Yang Xi picked up her phone and dialed a number; the person on the other end picked up, “Hey, Xi, you’re actually giving me a call?”
The voice on the other end was a cheerful and expressive girl who rattled on, “Your transfer was so sudden, you didn’t even tell us. Li Muxi is now devastated, saying she wants to go to Luo City to find you. You’ve always been silent around her, leaving her utterly infatuated.”
Yang Xi pondered for a moment and then seemed to have made a decision, “Could you please tell her for me that I have a boyfriend now.”
“No way, did the Luo City guy succeed in whisking away our goddess?”
“Song Ci, stop making a fuss. I have something to ask you. Have you heard of a novel called ‘Kunlun?'” Yang Xi interrupted Song Ci’s exclamation and went straight to her point.
The person on the other end suddenly became excited, “You know about Kunlun too? Man, good novels spread fast. I thought only people in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei knew about this novel. You wouldn’t believe it, but our classmates are all crazy over this novel! They talk about going out to find their fortune, to be chivalrous and right wrongs all the time. They’re so damn childish!”
Yang Xi clearly hadn’t expected her question to receive such a response. She thought that all martial arts novels were more or less the same and had initially felt sorry for Ren He’s waste of talent. But now, it seemed that Ren He’s talent wasn’t limited to music alone!
Yang Xi paused for a moment and asked, “Is it really as good as you say?”
“That’s what you don’t know, originally Kunlun was serialized in the Capital Daily. I heard that Elder Zhou, yes, that little girl Zhou Muqi’s grandfather, personally recommended the novel! After the first issue was serialized, the Capital Journalism Group was besieged by readers. They held banners saying they must serialize Kunlun daily, or they would starve to death at the doors of the Capital Journalism Group! Now it’s just changed to be serialized on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and each serialization has a satisfying word count. We don’t even go out anymore, just waiting for the next installment! No one knows who the author is; it’s all anonymous. If the author is a hot guy, I would definitely throw myself at him!”
Yang Xi fell silent. She knew who the author was, but she wouldn’t tell anyone. It appears that Ren He published the novel anonymously but had casually revealed the truth to her. She might be one of the few who knew the truth, huh?
That feeling was somewhat sweet.
She could also guess that Ren He was probably rushing to finish his draft now, which explained why he had no time.
However, she remembered that Ren He had said that once the winter vacation started, he’d take her to commence his plan, shrouded in secrecy, but she was looking forward to it immensely.
“Xi, can you send me a copy of the newspaper with Kunlun’s serialization? And could you also send me the future installments? That’d be great.”
“No problem at all, just wait for it!” Song Ci replied with a laugh.
…
Meanwhile, Ren He was miserably rushing to finish his Kunlun manuscript…
Zhou Wumeng made two calls a day, one in the morning and another in the evening. The chief editor of the Capital Journalism Group personally pushed him for drafts. Such treatment was something others wouldn’t even dare to dream of, yet Ren He was almost fed up with it. He not only had to update the Divine Book but also Kunlun, and the amount of writing was beyond imagination!
But the thought of kidnapping Yang Xi to start his plan as soon as the winter vacation began made him happy.
When Zhou Wumeng’s call came through again, Ren He almost collapsed, “My lord, you are my dear lord. I will hand in the draft on time; please stop rushing me, will you?”
“Cough cough,” Zhou Wumeng was a bit embarrassed, “Should I transfer the manuscript fees to you? You’ve been working hard recently, and you should also take care of your nutrition. You’re still growing after all.”

Upon hearing this, Ren He was almost panicked. If he was this busy and still had to do tasks, he wouldn’t be able to live on! He quickly responded, “My dear lord, don’t bother. Just give me the manuscript fees when Kunlun is finished. We can settle the fees for the Three Character Classic at the same time. Please don’t send it now!”
Zhou Wumeng was baffled by this response. Who on earth wouldn’t want money? Had Ren He really become the type of person he claimed to be, one who is above such lowly pleasures…?
But Ren He had also thought it through. Although the manuscript fees could be combined, when the two lump sums were received, the Divine Punishment System would surely count them as two separate tasks and not one, since they wouldn’t be coming from the same book.
