660: Chapter 656: Water Sound?
Ye Tian held Yun Xinyan in his arms until Yun Xinyan fell into a deep sleep, and after she had fallen deeply asleep, Yun Xinyan’s sleep talk finally ceased.
“Wife, I hadn’t imagined that your sleep talk could be so sharp-tongued!”
Ye Tian couldn’t help but sigh, as he usually was the one teasing Yun Xinyan, who never had a chance to retort.
But when Yun Xinyan was deeply asleep, the words she inadvertently spoke deeply hurt Ye Tian’s heart.
Therefore, although Ye Tian wanted to sleep, the sleep talk Yun Xinyan had mentioned made Ye Tian toss and turn!
“…could the problem be with you?”
—Yun Xinyan’s gentle words, yet with a strong attack!
Oh, wife, why do the words from your little mouth seem like bullets?
Ye Tian, with a pained expression, thought about it until he finally fell asleep…
The next morning, Yun Xinyan got up early.
She didn’t realize that Ye Tian had actually gone out the previous night.
“Ye Tian, why do you still have dark circles?
You went to sleep so early last night, didn’t you sleep well?”
Yun Xinyan looked surprised, but Ye Tian could only helplessly shake his head.
“Dear wife, men are like this, diligent like oxen.
Each time they plow the fields, the fields become more fertile, but the oxen cannot sleep because of exhaustion…
What’s even more heartbreaking is that the land still vaguely suspects there’s something wrong with the ox.
Isn’t that sad for the ox?”
Ye Tian rambled on, and Yun Xinyan had no idea what he was talking about.
“Ye Tian, if you’re too tired, you don’t have to go to work at Yun Corporation.
You really pushed yourself last night.
Don’t worry; I won’t fire you!”
Perhaps because she had received great satisfaction the night before, Yun Xinyan was in an exceptionally good mood.
Towards such a generous wife and company CEO, Ye Tian had no words other than gratitude.
“Wife, you are truly wonderful!
For Ye Tian to have married such an understanding wife in this lifetime, I am truly blessed.
My admiration for you is like the endless river flowing, and like the flooding Yellow River, unstoppable…”
Ye Tian continually sang her praises while Yun Xinyan lost the desire to listen further, ate two slices of bread, and then left the villa.
Because of his poor sleep, Ye Tian lay in bed for a while longer, and after recuperating a bit, he too left…
Ye Tian was not going to work, but the direction he headed was the same as Yun Corporation!
Before long, Ye Tian arrived at the pedestrian street plaza of Jiangcheng, this place was not only where he had once battled Tian Shisan, but more importantly, it was the location marked as a red dot on Jiangcheng’s ancient map!
The Sima Family had gone through great pains to find this location, and of course, Ye Tian could not possibly know the Sima Family’s purpose, but what he did know was that beneath this plaza, there definitely lay a shocking secret.
“…your battle with that monster even affected the underground water veins!”
—The words of Wang Ke’er, the Peaceful Policewoman, once again echoed in Ye Tian’s ears.
Although it was just a casual remark by Wang Ke’er, it sparked a light in Ye Tian’s mind!
Perhaps this was the so-called cause and effect.
If it hadn’t been for his great battle with Tian Shisan back then, Jiangcheng might not be in such chaos now.
If everything started because of him, then Ye Tian was naturally also determined to set a good example!
This time, he had to unfold all the mysteries!
Ye Tian sat on a bench in the pedestrian street plaza, closed his eyes, and tried hard to recall that great battle with Tian Shisan.
At what moment and in what way had they caused damage to the ground?
Could it be the strike when his body crashed into the fountain?
No, it wasn’t!
Ye Tian shook his head.
At that moment, he had crashed straight over, merely smashing the fountain, but not affecting the ground.
Could it be the strike where he and Tian Shisan traded palms from midair, causing the ground to crack?
Wrong again!
Ye Tian shook his head once more.
Though the marble floor had shattered, the force was not enough to reach the underground water veins, otherwise, Jiangcheng wouldn’t be able to work on the surface at all!
In Ye Tian’s mind, images of that great battle with Tian Shisan flashed before him, but he couldn’t find any clues.
Not until he recalled the last exchange of blows with Tian Shisan, did a sudden insight dawn on him!
“That’s it!”
Ye Tian couldn’t help but shout, opening his eyes.
After much thought, he had finally found the clue!
During his fight with Tian Shisan, out of desperation, he had drawn the wooden sword he carried.
At that time, they were on the basement level of a shopping mall, and with all his might, he swung his wooden sword towards Tian Shisan, striking powerfully enough to break the mall’s basement elevator.
Ye Tian clearly remembered that the slash he had swung was delivered with a “downward” force, which meant it was very possible that he had damaged the underground water veins of Jiang City at that time!
After all, what he possessed was the indestructible Life Weapon, and the slash he had unleashed, also carried with it the force of nature, showcasing extraordinary power…
Finally, having found a clue, Ye Tian hurried non-stop to the pedestrian street mall!
From the first floor, Ye Tian took the elevator straight down to the basement level.
This was precisely where he and Tian Shisan had once battled, where his strike had indeed shattered the elevator into pieces.
However, after the municipal department’s repairs, there was no sign on the basement level that a battle between masters had ever taken place, a new elevator had already been installed, and the damaged floor had also been fully restored.
The shops on the basement floor were open for business as usual, and even though their location was not ideal, being in the core mall of Jiang City’s pedestrian street meant that there were still many customers, even on the basement level.
All the customers had long since forgotten what had happened here, simply focused on choosing their favored products…
“Sigh—”
Ye Tian let out a sigh, naturally, he would not give up on continuing his search, so from the basement level, he made his way to the second basement level of the mall.
The second basement level was a parking lot, packed with numerous vehicles, and aside from cars, few people could be seen, making the second basement level empty and quiet compared to the bustling activity one floor above—it was like a different world!
“Tap tap!” “Tap tap!”…
Ye Tian cautiously tread across the second basement level, clearly hearing his own footsteps.
“Drip drop!” “Drip drop!”…
While Ye Tian was walking, he distinctly heard the sound of dripping water.
This sound instantly cleared Ye Tian’s mind significantly!
Could it be that this was the “underground water vein” Wang Ke’er had mentioned?
A surge of excitement welled up in Ye Tian’s heart, and he immediately followed the sound of water…
But just as Ye Tian thought he had found the clue, the dripping sound vanished!
“What’s going on?”
Ye Tian was astonished, clearly having heard the sound—how could it just disappear?
Undeterred, Ye Tian directly used his clairvoyant ability, looking down beneath his feet…
Ye Tian’s clairvoyant ability was particularly effective when searching for clues because he could see through walls and even steel plates.
For Ye Tian, there was no more convenient ability!
But this time, Ye Tian’s clairvoyant ability was unable to see below the ground, as the floor beneath his feet was too thick; even his clairvoyant ability could not penetrate it.
Ye Tian felt some disappointment.
With the ground being so thick that even clairvoyant ability couldn’t penetrate, had the dripping sound he heard been just his imagination?
Just as Ye Tian felt disheartened, the sound of dripping water echoed in his ears again!
“It’s appeared again!”
Ye Tian’s heart leapt with joy, and he quickly concentrated, searching for the specific location of the sound.
Left, left…
Ye Tian walked towards the left side of the parking lot, but after just a few steps, the dripping sound vanished once again.
Of course, this didn’t discourage Ye Tian, because just now, he had discovered a trick!
The reason he could hear the sound of the dripping water was that he had unintentionally absorbed the force of nature, which seemed to enhance his senses!
So, without delay, Ye Tian quickly readied his Xuan Yun technique, and there was no need to exert full strength, just letting enough force of nature enter his body would suffice…
Ye Tian used thirty percent of his strength in his Xuan Yun technique, and as the constant force of nature infused his body, all of a sudden, he felt his senses sharpen, and his skin sensations underwent a tremendous change!
“Drip drop!” “Drip drop!”…
Once again, the sound of water echoed, this time continuously, and Ye Tian could clearly hear it.
Left, it really was to the left!
Ye Tian proceeded directly towards the left side of the underground parking lot, and soon, he reached a wall.
The sound of the water drops was coming from behind the wall, but this wall was something Ye Tian could not break…
It wasn’t that Ye Tian lacked the ability to shatter a wall, but because doing so would definitely attract a lot of attention.
The attention of ordinary people might not matter, but if people who cultivated the force of nature found out, it would mean trouble, and if members of the Sima Family found out, the situation would be even worse!
Standing indecisively in front of the wall, with no other options, Ye Tian once again used his clairvoyant ability to see what was behind the wall.
