Chapter Twelve: The Reappearance of Thought

  "Thank you."

  "You're welcome."

  ……

  After a while, two figures walked shoulder to shoulder in the same direction, with a distance of one or two steps between them. The man was handsome and elegant, wearing stylish clothes, while the woman was pure and clean. This pair walking on the street indeed made many passersby turn their heads, with a high rate of return that was frightening.

  It's just that Guo Zhengyang's face was a bit unnatural as he walked, and he really didn't expect to come out and enjoy himself, only to encounter such an embarrassing thing. Fortunately, he no longer had any feelings for the girl by his side; otherwise, if it were his previous life, he would have been so embarrassed in front of her that he would have dug a hole in the ground to hide.

  "I'll return the money as soon as I get back to school." With a helpless rub of his forehead, Guo Zhengyang spoke again.

  "Hmm." This sentence also only brought a brief response, but in the gentle "hmm" the girl stared with beautiful eyes, full of doubt, surprise, and curiosity...

  "What's wrong?" Guo Zhengyang finally turned around and looked over.

  "It's nothing." The girl hastily laughed and turned her head, as if it really was nothing.

  Kuang Zhengyang glanced back a few times and saw that the other person was walking quietly again. He also didn't say anything more, and walked quietly as well.

  As he walked, he clearly felt the girl beside him constantly casting her gaze at him stealthily, seemingly curious about something. It was as if she had been paying close attention to him all along. Alas, after decades of ups and downs, all he had now was calmness.

  Guo Zhengyang didn't take the initiative to talk, he just accompanied her on the way to school.

  But as he walked, when the tall gate was only a few dozen meters away, Guo Zhengyang suddenly trembled and stopped in his tracks, standing silently. In that silent stand, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes even more quickly.

  At this moment, a strange idea suddenly emerged in his mind.

  This idea is very familiar, it seems to be guiding him somewhere, when you arrive at that place, there will be great benefits. The guidance of the idea was faint at first, but in the blink of an eye, it became strong again.

  Idea?

  That strange idea suddenly appeared at this moment.

  The last time the thought appeared, it led him to a supermarket to follow a female cashier. After following her for a while, he picked up a Wind Flower Pill from her hand, and the thought completely disappeared, disappearing for over ten days.

  Guo Zhengyang was initially resistant to the idea, but the benefits of Fenghuadan really moved him, so after his cultivation made great progress, he also thought more than once that if this thing could come again a few times and guide him to find more benefits, it would be even better.

  It's been so many days and this thing still hasn't appeared. It makes him feel regretful whenever he thinks about it in his spare time from studying hard.

  But now this inexplicable moment has actually appeared again? And there's a benefit too?

  After such a feeling was presented, Guo Zhengyang really couldn't help but be surprised.

  "What's wrong?" Guo Zhengyang exclaimed in surprise, stomping his foot. The girl who was walking with him didn't notice anything out of the ordinary until they had walked a few more steps, and then she suddenly stopped and turned around, still looking puzzled.

  "I suddenly remembered that there's something urgent I need to take care of, so I'll leave for a bit. I'll pay you back when I get back to school." Guo Zhengyang also looked up, but the joy in his eyes had already dissipated, replaced by a hint of apology on his face.

  He couldn't possibly tell her about this kind of thing, so he had to come up with a reason to brush it off first.

  "Hehe, okay, you go ahead and busy yourself." The girl then opened her bright eyes, curiously glancing over Guo Zhengyang's body once again, but afterwards only let out a brief, gentle laugh.

  "Sorry." Guo Zhengyang also smiled and nodded, then looked at the other person with a hint of embarrassment before turning around and leaving.

  After turning around, the joyful color in his eyes flowed out once again.

  It's finally here again, and it's still telling him that there are benefits to be had. Is this going to be like last time, where he has to go somewhere to find someone, and after finding the person and making them a target, can he get dan medicine from them?

  That would be wonderful.

  He can now easily advance to the mid-term of gathering spirit by taking another pill of Wind Flower Dan.

  "I don't even know what this thing is, can it be that every time it appears, something good happens? Forget it, never mind so much, let's just hurry over and take a look."

  This is the second time it has appeared, and Guo Zhengyang's performance is indeed very different from the first time. Last time, he still struggled with this idea for a while, forcibly suppressing the idea after which it suddenly reappeared, making Guo Zhengyang realize that if he didn't go to see what was happening, he wouldn't be able to live normally, so he had no choice but to follow the idea and pass by.

  But this time, he was indeed somewhat impatient.

  This is the change after tasting the sweetness.

  Although he was also pondering the origin of his thoughts in his mind, because this was fundamentally inexplicable, he continued to walk quickly while thinking, following the guidance of his thoughts, and walked much faster than last time.

  After walking for about twenty minutes, he had already walked a distance of four or five kilometers and reached a relatively remote area in the county town. The guidance of his thoughts gradually came to an end.

  As he walked along a narrow alley, he arrived in front of a dilapidated mansion, and the guidance of his thoughts also hinted that the broken house in front was his destination.

  "Huh? Last time the thought appeared, the destination it led me to was just over a thousand meters away, in the supermarket on the big street outside school. This time, however, I walked four or five thousand meters, almost ten kilometers, much farther than last time."

  Looking at the house in front of him, Guo Zhengyang suddenly had another idea in his mind. There were indeed some changes between the two intentions.

  The house in front of me was really old and dilapidated, the gate was still an ancient wooden door, the door frame on both sides was also a building made of crumbling brick walls, the spring couplets and door paintings on the door frame were already blurred and could not be seen clearly, a large lock hung on the door with rust spots. This house and the buildings on either side had become somewhat incongruous, as on the right side of the alley was a two-story small building with a high wall behind it, and on the left side was also a tall concrete wall.

  The alley, sandwiched between the back wall of a small building and a concrete wall, is over ten meters long. The exit of the alley corresponds to another small road. Because the location is a bit remote, it feels very quiet here at this moment. The quiet environment, combined with the old and worn-out gate, made of wood, gives people a deep and ancient feeling.

  No matter how you look at it, this looks like an old mansion that has been uninhabited for a long time.

  Frowning and glancing around cautiously, Guo Zhengyang took two steps forward, pressed himself against the wooden door and listened intently.

  The ultimate goal of the guidance this time is a person, but it's actually pointing to such a dilapidated mansion? The mansion looks like an abandoned building, is there someone inside? Or is the ultimate goal not a person this time?

  After sticking to it and listening for a while, Guo Zhengyang suddenly realized that the ultimate goal of this intention was still human, because he had already heard faint voices deep in the mansion.

  It's also thanks to his physical strength being enhanced many times over, otherwise, even if someone was that far away, the voices from deep inside wouldn't be loud enough for an ordinary person to hear.

  Having confirmed that there was someone in the broken house, Guo Zhengyang quickly retreated again, and after retreating several steps, he suddenly turned sideways and rushed up onto the left side of the alley's two-meter-high concrete wall.
