Chapter 412: It’s Cold at the Top

It was late at night, and the streets were naturally empty. One could only vaguely hear the night watchman knocking on the clapper, "It's dry, be careful of fire."

Yang Yiyi walked on the empty street. Even the dogs were asleep at this time, so of course there was no one on the street.

She seemed dazed, and her walk was a little shaky, which made people doubt whether she could find her way back in this unfamiliar place.

Yang Yiyi didn't have any destination, she just walked randomly.

At this time, a more conspicuous light in the night came into view, and Yang Yiyi saw from a distance that the other end of the street was brightly lit.

Just like mosquitoes have phototropism, Yang Yiyi unconsciously moved towards the direction of the light. When she got closer, she vaguely heard a noisy noise, and as the distance got closer, the sound became clearer and clearer.

Looking up, she saw a restaurant with red lanterns hanging on both sides to celebrate the Lantern Festival. The plaque with black background and gold characters was clearly visible in the orange or red light.

It was written "Taibai Tower".

As early as when she passed by before, Yang Yiyi wanted to go to Taibai Tower to take a look, but she didn't expect to walk here unknowingly.

When she was confused, Yang Yiyi walked towards Taibai Tower without thinking.

The merchants in the whole Luancheng might have closed their doors long ago, but Taibai Tower was the only one that was lit all night.

The reason was simple, because Taibai Tower mainly did business with people from the underworld.

The name of Taibai Tower did not come from the poet Li Bai, but from the Taibai Star in the sky. During the Youth Heroes Conference, Taibai Tower would be open until Taibai Star appeared in the sky, and Taibai Star was also called Morning Star. At that time, it was already early morning, so it was renamed Taibai Tower.

"Lady, please come in, the heroes are having a good time."

As soon as Yang Yiyi approached, a waiter came forward to greet her, as if he was used to people from the underworld coming in the middle of the night.

As soon as I entered the lobby, I was instantly drowned by the noise. Some people were playing finger-guessing and some were eating meat. There was a special ring in the corner of the lobby. Those who went up there didn't need martial arts skills, but relied on wrestling.

The big white wall on the other side was full of crooked handwriting. A group of martial artists were jumping around there, competing to see who had the best light skills and could leave their calligraphy at a higher place.

All these were different, and they all aimed at the pain point of the people in the martial arts world who loved to compete.

Ordinary restaurants and inns obviously didn't have these items, and the people in the martial arts world were more disciplined most of the time. However, Taibai Tower did the opposite and deliberately gave the people in the martial arts world a place to have fun, so naturally the business was booming.

"This young hero knows my Thunder Sword, Gu Tao is determined to get it!"

"Don't come on, just your three-legged cat's kung fu?"

I seemed to hear a familiar voice in my ears, but Yang Yiyi didn't care at all.

If I saw this scene at ordinary times, Yang Yiyi would definitely be unable to resist going up to try it herself, but now I really don't have that mood.

"Miss Yang is here!"

"Long time no see, Miss Yang."

Yang Yiyi met a lot of people in Leishanzang. She was there when they were besieging the Tianlang Sect's stronghold. Many of the people in the martial arts world knew her. When they saw Yang Yiyi coming in, they all bowed and greeted her.

Yang Yiyi also returned the greetings one by one. At least she was presentable, but she was not as positive and happy as usual.

Men and women in the store were drinking and chatting, but when they came to Yang Yiyi, it was as if they had encountered a layer of protective film. She was not affected by the emotions at all, but just strolled woodenly in the crowd.

Unconsciously, she went up to the second floor, which was slightly quieter than the first floor, but only slightly.

The most conspicuous thing was a huge terrace, where a group of people gathered there, sometimes admiring and sometimes regretting.

"This building is too high and too steep."

"Nonsense, how can the fine wine of Taibai Tower be so easy to get? If you want to drink it, go buy it yourself with silver."

Yang Yiyi walked over and saw that it turned out that this group of people were watching others climb the building.

The roof of Taibai Tower has been remodeled. The top is a pagoda-shaped structure, which is very steep. It is difficult for ordinary people to go up without a ladder.

There is a golden bell hanging on the top of the tower. If someone rings the golden bell, he can get a jar of good wine for free, but he cannot use his hands to go up, he can only jump up with light skills.

This is not an easy task.

The Young Heroes Association mainly attracts people from the rivers and lakes. Disciples from famous and upright sects disdain to come to such a place to make a name for themselves. Everyone's martial arts are also uneven. It is very rare to find someone who can jump up among this group of people.

"Miss Yang is also in Luancheng?"

"Miss, why don't you try it? Maybe with your skills, you can get a jar of good wine for free today."

There are also many people upstairs who know Yang Yiyi, and they all make a fuss when they see her coming up.

Yang Yiyi was thinking about other things in her mind, so she didn't refuse. Without saying a word, she directly used the fish leaping skill to jump up.

She could jump five or six meters high, which really impressed the people around her. However, she was still far from the top of the tower. Yang Yiyi landed at about one-third of the way.

But the edge was steep, and Yang Yiyi was still a little dazed. She slipped down and fell on the roof of Taibai Tower.

The people below were disappointed and started to make a noise. It was not high enough to kill people, but it was painful.

And this fall made Yang Yiyi sober.

Or it could be said that this fall was just a simple venting, which reduced Yang Yiyi's troubles a little.

"Look, Miss Yang wants to try again!"

Yang Yiyi stood on the roof and jumped again. This time she landed steadily on the tiles, and the people below cheered loudly.

But this is just the beginning. The higher you go, the narrower the place you can stand on, and the steeper the tiles.

She took a look and jumped again. This time she almost slipped when she landed, and she barely stood up after turning her feet sideways.

Looking at the golden bell on the top, Yang Yiyi seemed to have some enlightenment.

This tower climbing seems to be similar to the martial arts world.

The higher you go, the smaller the space.

It is awesome to be on the top of the mountain and look down on all the mountains, but the higher you stand, the colder it will be.

Yang Yiyi looked down. The lower the tower is, the wider it is. Although it is pressed by the top, if there is no bottom, the whole tower is like a rootless duckweed, and it will fall without being touched.

Do you want to be the top of the tower or the base of the tower?

Yang Yiyi asked herself this, but the answer she gave in her heart was "do what you want to do".

The top of the tower has the advantages of the top of the tower, and the base of the tower has the comfort of the base of the tower. The key is not what you want to become, but what you want to do.

Yang Yiyi had a vague feeling that she had figured it out. She aimed at the top of the tower where the golden bell was and jumped up again. She landed on the top of the tower as lightly as a roc spreading its wings, as if she had no weight at all.

Standing here, she could clearly see most of Luancheng, but looking down, she could not see the faces of the chivalrous knights who had just greeted her enthusiastically.

It was lonely at the top. The higher you go, the easier it is to ignore things that are more important to you.

At this moment, Yang Yiyi seemed to have figured it out.
