The Jiangzhou newspapers were just a small part of what they saw after entering the city.

In the city, there were even more things that left them speechless and incredulous.

What shocked the two most was the lack of teachers in the city.

When the two first heard that there was no one to teach, they thought it was absurd.

Without a teacher, how could anyone possibly fulfill the role of imparting knowledge? Isn't that just a pipe dream?

But when the two used their money to enroll in a classroom without teachers, they were completely stunned.

The two men had lost the elegant demeanor they had in the capital.

At this moment, both of them had their mouths open, big enough to fit a whole egg.

After a long while, Fu Chengxi finally composed himself and pointed to a screen on the wall, asking, "What's that? How can it make a sound?"

"How would I know!" Song Mubai said, "You've forgotten, I entered the city with you."

Fu Chengxi naturally knew that Song Mubai had entered the city with him. He was just too surprised and didn't think much of it at the moment, so he subconsciously asked him.

Their conversation quickly drew the attention of the patrol officers.

There were no teachers, but the school had patrol officers specifically responsible for maintaining discipline.

If someone is found to be disrupting classroom discipline, they will be reminded to pay attention to the rules.

Repeatedly disrupting classroom discipline will result in expulsion from the unattended classroom, and those with serious offenses will never have the opportunity to study in an unattended classroom again.

In order to avoid being expelled from the school, the two dared not communicate in private anymore and listened attentively to the lessons.

Then the two of them discovered that they were having a very hard time understanding the content of the lesson, and in some parts, they couldn't understand it at all.

But when they observed the other students in the classroom, they found that many of them, dressed in ordinary clothes and clearly from ordinary families, were taking notes at lightning speed.

Clearly, these are things that ordinary people have learned very well.

They are not even as good as these ordinary people.

This realization left both of them feeling deeply frustrated.

It's one thing if they don't understand what's being taught, but how can they not even understand the lectures?

They were all scions of prominent families; even if they didn't hold official positions in the capital, they were still tutored by renowned teachers from a young age.

But after they arrived in Jiangzhou, they suddenly discovered that they seemed to have become illiterate.

How could this be?

Even after the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class, neither of them had recovered from the shock.

It wasn't until they saw other students taking notes and seeking answers from the academy's tutors that the two of them got up and started asking around about what exactly was being taught.

However, opinions differ among the people.

Some say it's a miracle, a gift from the Celestial Emperor. Others say it's a great invention, like the research and development department founded by the prince.

It's just that the R&D department hasn't been able to develop something so amazing yet.

The two didn't figure out what it was, but they eventually came to a conclusion: they had to send a letter home as soon as possible.

This is only what they saw, some superficial and shallow things.

What about deeper?

The rumored weapon that can level a mountain must be real.

And they just openly display such amazing things for everyone to see, proving that they have the confidence and are not afraid of those who are trying to find out.

What frustrated the two even more was that no one in the family had heard about such an important matter!

What about the spies their family keeps?

The major events happening in the capital are known to everyone here, and are even written in newspapers for the public's entertainment.

Why haven't their family received any news about what happened in Jiangzhou?

Song Mubai did not believe that his father would remain inactive after learning about the situation in Jiangzhou.

He frowned. "Something must have happened!"

Fu Chengxi had the same thought as him, "The secret agents we used to send messages at home can't be used anymore. We need to find another way to send messages to the capital!"

Both men suspected that a traitor had been discovered among the undercover agents they had painstakingly cultivated within their families.
