"Ge Chenfei, what's the new student you welcomed doing?" A guide asked curiously.
"I don't know." Ge Chenfei, the one who guided Wang Teng, shook his head with an exasperated expression.
"This fellow is a little unconventional," another guide smiled and said.
"Ge Chenfei, why don't you go down and take a look? If he continues fooling around, he might make some seniors unhappy," A guide persuaded him.
Ge Chenfei kept quiet. He turned into a ray of light and disappeared from the stone platform.
Wang Teng was speeding through the streets, happily thinking about the attributes he had just collected. However, his gaze swept around the surroundings and he thought to himself, "All the stone houses in this area are occupied. It seems I'll have to go a little further to find an empty one."
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of him.
"Mister." Wang Teng stopped.
"What are you doing?" Ge Chenfei asked with a stern face.
"Why does he look a little angry?" Round Ball's voice appeared in Wang Teng's mind.
"You don't have to remind me. I can tell." Wang Teng was speechless. He looked at the guide and started spouting nonsense, "I'm… strolling around!"
"Strolling around?" Ge Chenfei didn't believe this nonsense.

"What scenery is there here?" Ge Chenfei's face darkened slightly. "If you're here to enjoy the scenery, why do you need to enter every single stone house?"
"Um… there is still scenery here. As a guide, you've been here for a long time so maybe you don't feel it, but as a newcomer, everything I see is scenery," Wang Teng started to make up stories.
"As for why I go up to the roof, it's simply because each roof offers a different view. If I want to see, I want to see it thoroughly," Wang Teng explained confidently.
"Senior, haven't you taken a careful moment to appreciate it?" Wang Teng pointed to those roofs and said, "Stand on those rooftops and close your eyes. It's as if you're immersed in the realms of the indomitable warriors in the past. It's like being there in person. You can better understand the emotions and state of mind of those formidable individuals from before."
"Everyone's state of mind is different. Only by grasping their mindset at that time can we better comprehend the insights they left behind," Wang Teng emphasized.
Ge Chenfei was stunned. He started to get suspicious.
O(⊙_⊙))o
Was that really the case?
Would standing on the roof and understanding their state of mind truly help in comprehending the enlightenment those formidable warriors left behind?
It made sense!
Should he find a chance to try it next time?
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})In the past, he had chosen the dwelling left behind by a particular powerful martial warrior but he had been unable to comprehend the enlightenment left behind by that individual.
Was it because he didn't understand the other party's state of mind?
"Oh right, just strolling around without disturbing others' cultivation shouldn't be considered a violation of the academy's rules, right?" Wang Teng asked.
"That's true." Ge Chenfei hesitated before answering.
"That's good to hear. I was worried about disturbing my seniors' cultivation. That would have been a big offense on my part," Wang Teng heaved a sigh of relief and cautiously asked, "So, can I continue… strolling around?"
"Go ahead! Try not to disturb the others." Ge Chenfei waved his hand.
"Alright, no problem. I promise that I won't affect anyone," Wang Teng swore immediately.
Ge Chenfei stumbled back to the stone platform where the others were and noticed that they were looking at him with strange expressions on their faces.
"Ge Chenfei, you must have been fooled," someone said.
"Fooled? Don't you think he makes sense?" Ge Chenfei asked.
"Understand the state of mind?" A few guides fell into contemplation. "Come to think of it, it could be a method of attaining enlightenment."
"It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. We can at least give it a try," someone said.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})"Haha, I asked you to persuade him but you ended up being persuaded instead," the guide who had previously tasked Ge Chenfei with convincing Wang Teng couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, this fellow is interesting." The other guides laughed.
Even Ge Chenfei burst out laughing.
On the streets of the island, Wang Teng continued his pursuit of collecting attributes. He felt that the guides didn't seem particularly clever. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to deceive him.
State of mind? If you can grasp the enlightenment left by your predecessors by experiencing the state of mind, why do you need to cultivate?
"Wang Teng, isn't this a little inappropriate?" Round Ball was speechless.
"Well, it's not that I'm being dishonest. If the other party truly experiences a certain state of mind and has a sudden enlightenment, then the credit would be mine. They should be grateful to me," Wang Teng remarked.
"Haha, how lucky do they have to be to understand the so-called state of mind?" Round Ball sniggered.
"That's up to them. I just wish they don't bother me," Wang Teng said.
"Anyway, what are you trying to accomplish? Are you planning to inspect every single stone house?" Round Ball asked, looking puzzled.
"Of course." Wang Teng nodded. "The enlightenment of my predecessors is left in these stone houses. It will be of great help to me."
"What do you think you'll understand after staying for three minutes?" Round Ball was speechless.
"You don't understand. With my talent, comprehending this enlightenment is a matter of minutes," Wang Teng replied confidently.
"Do you think I'll believe you?" Round Ball kept quiet after it finished speaking. It was obvious that Wang Teng didn't want to tell his real intention.
This was infuriating.
