And this, is precisely the reason why high-level cultivators are generally emotionally indifferent.
The people and things they were familiar with have all gradually passed away and dissipated during their long periods of seclusive cultivation.

It's perfectly normal for them to appear indifferent to the people and events of the outside world.

Such events ensured that every time He Song came out of his retreat, there would be all sorts of new and interesting occurrences around him.
