The dark clouds in the sky obscured the moonlight, casting a shadow over the void that was supposed to be illuminated by the moonlight.
However, modern humans had invented many lighting devices. Even if there was no moonlight, the neon lights on the ground could still fill the entire land with light.
In the night wind, Ye Xuan, who was walking on the road to go home, suddenly felt annoyed for no reason. The conversation with Aunt Zhang just now still caused a ripple in his mind.
After pondering for a while, he took a step into the void, and a ripple suddenly appeared in the void in front of him. Then, as if time had changed, his figure appeared on the top of a building in the next moment.
Standing on the top of the building and looking forward, he saw tall buildings in front of him. Countless neon lights flashed in the night, and there was an endless stream of traffic below. It was very lively.
This was a city that never slept. Even though it was already night, more people appeared in every corner of the city than during the day, filling the emptiness and craziness of the city.
This place was already more than 100 kilometers away from the previous town, but in front of Ye Xuan, this little distance was meaningless. With his current cultivation, he could think of any corner of the earth in a flash.
The building below could be said to be one of the landmarks of this city. It had 108 floors, and looking down from above, if one had a fear of heights, it would be enough to scare a bunch of people to death.
Naturally, Ye Xuan was not afraid of heights. He randomly found an advertisement building that extended from the rooftop and sat down.
High up in the sky, even the hot night wind on the ground became chilly. However, Ye Xuan did not feel anything at the moment.
Looking at the traffic and people coming and going below, he flipped his hand, and a can of beer appeared in his hand.
Crack! ~ ~
The can was opened, and a wisp of water vapor spurted out. With a thought, the temperature of the beer in the can dropped rapidly, and then a wisp of cold air rose.
Beer was still delicious when it was chilled.
He casually picked up the iced beer in his hand and drank a mouthful. An icy cold current flowed from his mouth into his stomach, immediately making him feel slightly refreshed.
Putting the beer aside, Ye Xuan sat there with his hands propped up on his back. His mind gradually emptied. In an instant, the noise of the cars below, the noise of the music, and the shouts and murmurs of human beings all came into his ears.
When these noises entered his ears, not only did they not disturb his state of mind, but they also gradually melted away the annoyance in his state of mind, and he regained his calmness.
Perhaps he was not a heartless immortal. Even with his current level of cultivation, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a deity. However, he still had seven emotions and six desires. Although they had become much weaker as his level of cultivation increased, they had never been severed.
He had always believed that humans had to have seven emotions and six desires to be considered human. Regardless of whether one was an immortal or a saint, they were unable to avoid it. If one was truly emotionless and desireless, he could only be considered a stone.
His heart was fluttering, and his body was like a floating cloud. Allowing the cold wind in the sky to blow at his clothes and hair, Ye Xuan felt that his body and mind had suddenly become ethereal.
This was not the first time he had come here. When he first opened the bookstore, he had come here once due to fate. After all, it was one of the landmarks of this city. It had a wide view and was a good place to observe the entire city.
Of course, this was only for ordinary people. If Ye Xuan really wanted to take it seriously, standing in the void was nothing more than a walk in the park. Moreover, although this building was only one of the landmarks of the entire city, it was only one of them. There were two other buildings in this city that were even taller. They were 111 floors and 126 floors respectively.
The reason why he chose this place was just because he had an additional habit. He could be considered a person who cherished old friendships. Otherwise, he would not have specially taken a look at Lin Xiyan, who was in the same world as him.
Kacha!!!
Just as Ye Xuan was lost in his thoughts, the sound of metal colliding suddenly came from the balcony. The iron door that was originally tightly shut was suddenly pushed open, and then a figure appeared at the staircase entrance.
Without turning his head, Ye Xuan could clearly see the appearance of the person who had come. It was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. Perhaps because he usually took good care of himself, coupled with his luxurious clothes, he looked like a wealthy person.
However, although this middle-aged man was wearing a suit with a leather collar, he reeked of alcohol. His face was red, and the tie around his neck was pulled down. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was holding a bottle of wine in his hand. He seemed to have drunk a few mouthfuls of it as he staggered all the way to the balcony.
"Hmm?" However, after seeing the drunkard's face clearly, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows again because he actually knew this middle-aged man. He was Lin Xiyan's father, Lin Zhenxiong, whom he had met outside the villa that night.
That night, he had only been outside the villa, but it was only a wall. How could it block his sight?
However, at this time and at this time, why would Lin Zhenxiong suddenly appear here in such a drunken state?
Although he had always been secretly observing Lin Xiyan, it was only limited to when Lin Xiyan was in school, and it was only her alone. As for her family and even Liu Jiayan, he had no interest in paying attention to them. Naturally, he was unaware of many things.
Looking at Lin Zhenxiong, who was staggering over while gulping down wine from time to time, Ye Xuan couldn't help but frown.
"Huh, why … why is there … someone here too?" Walking to the edge of the balcony, Lin Zhenxiong suddenly saw the person sitting on the billboard. He was slightly startled and asked suspiciously.
This person was naturally Ye Xuan. He didn't conceal himself. Otherwise, with his cultivation, if he wanted to, Lin Zhenxiong wouldn't be able to detect him even if the two of them were inches apart, let alone so far away.
Hearing Lin Zhenxiong's words, Ye Xuan didn't pay attention to him. He didn't even move his head and continued to sit on the spot, looking at the scenery below.
However, the sudden appearance of the person slightly startled the originally drunken Lin Zhenxiong, and the drunkenness on his body dissipated a little.
However, after the drunkenness was dispelled, the heavy burden that originally lingered in his heart once again pressed down on him, causing him to raise the wine bottle in his hand and gulp down a large mouthful.
"Burp! ~ ~ ~" After burping, Lin Zhenxiong's eyes were once again clouded with drunkenness. Seeing that Ye Xuan didn't answer, he took another two steps forward and said drunkenly, "You, who are you? Why are you … here?"
"Annoyed, I'm looking at the scenery!" Ye Xuan still didn't turn around and said indifferently, "What about you, why are you here?"
"Me? Heh … burp ~ ~ I, came to jump off a building, hehe ~ ~ "Lin Zhenxiong said with drunken eyes.
