Chapter 29: It's Not Him



Following the city lord\'s instructions, he had brought Zhang Xuan here, but whether or not he could learn anything depended on him. If he failed, it was his own fault.

Just as Advisor Liao was about to leave the library, he heard footsteps approaching. He saw the city lord, Wu Yunzhou, and the two young ladies, Mo Yanxue and Yu Xiaoyu, all entering the library together.

"City Lord..." Advisor Liao hurriedly clasped his hands in greeting.

"How\'s his selection going? Which technique did he choose?" Yu Longqing gestured for silence, smiling and lowering his voice.

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Advisor Liao shared his impressions, "City Lord... Zhang Xuan seems a bit impatient and ambitious, not really here to learn seriously..."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Yu Longqing asked, puzzled.

"Well..." Advisor Liao hesitated before saying, "He hasn\'t chosen a single book yet!"

Yu Longqing was taken aback and frowned, "Didn\'t I ask you to help him pick a book? How could you let him choose on his own? He was just a groom before and has never seen cultivation techniques. How could he make a choice?"

"Well..." Advisor Liao pointed ahead, "City Lord, see for yourself!"

Full of doubts, Yu Longqing took a step forward and saw Zhang Xuan standing gracefully in front of a pile of books. His upright posture and refined demeanor gave an impression of transcendent elegance, not like a servant but more like a noble gentleman.

Just as Yu Longqing was feeling impressed, he saw Zhang Xuan glance at the bookshelf and then start pointing at books with rapid, spasmodic movements... His speed was like that of a percussive massage gun.

"???" Yu Longqing was stunned.

This wasn\'t the demeanor of a refined gentleman; it looked more like the onset of a fit...

Shouldn\'t he be taking books out to read when selecting techniques? What was this twitching about?

"Was he doing this earlier too?" After watching for a while and seeing that Zhang Xuan\'s twitching was intermittent, Yu Longqing couldn\'t hold back and asked Advisor Liao.

"Earlier... he was twitching a bit slower!" Advisor Liao nodded.

"He hasn\'t opened a single book... hasn\'t even read any?" The city lord\'s eyelids twitched. Not only did he have this expression, but Wu Yunzhou, Mo Yanxue, and Yu Xiaoyu were all equally bewildered.

They had thought he was here to study earnestly, but it turned out he was just twitching in front of books...

We can tolerate twitching in front of beautiful women, as it shows he\'s healthy, but twitching at books... What is he thinking?

"Yes! He hasn\'t opened a single book. It\'s not that I don\'t want to help him choose, but I still don\'t know what he\'s looking for..." Advisor Liao explained.

"Forget it. He helped me tame the Cangback Eagle; we should help him out a bit."

After watching for a while and seeing that half an hour had passed without Zhang Xuan reading a single book, Yu Longqing couldn\'t hold back any longer. He stepped forward, "Mr. Zhang!"

Hearing the call, Zhang Xuan finally noticed the group and quickly turned around, "City Lord..."

Without cultivation and still severely injured, even his hearing was impaired. Otherwise, he wouldn\'t have let so many people approach without noticing.

"Yes!" Yu Longqing pointed to Wu Yunzhou and introduced, "This is Vice Principal Wu of White Rock Academy. He is here to ask you a few questions!"

Recognizing the vice principal from the academy, Zhang Xuan hurriedly clasped his hands, "Greetings, Vice Principal Wu..."

"No need for formalities. I\'m just here to take a look..."

After Wu Yunzhou spoke, he placed his hand gently on Zhang Xuan\'s shoulder. The next moment, a stream of energy flowed into Zhang Xuan\'s body through his shoulder acupoint.

Zhang Xuan was slightly taken aback, "Vice Principal, what are you doing..."

Wu Yunzhou withdrew his energy and frowned, "You haven\'t even opened your source pool?"

The young man in front of him had no trace of source energy within him, not even an open source pool.

"I haven\'t started cultivating yet. I came here to find books to study..." Not expecting the vice principal to test his cultivation, Zhang Xuan scratched his head, looking dejected.

If he had found his source pool, he could absorb source energy and wouldn\'t be so low-key and helpless.

"Nonsense! Why didn\'t you say earlier that you hadn\'t opened your source pool..." Wu Yunzhou glared at Yu Xiaoyu and flicked his sleeve in frustration.

He had believed Yu Xiaoyu\'s confident claim and thought he had found the genius they were looking for, but it turned out to be someone who hadn\'t even found his source pool. Without a source pool, he couldn\'t absorb Heaven‘s Fate Energy and was clearly not the genius they were looking for.

"You only mentioned a genius. I didn\'t know the specifics. I just thought Zhang Xuan seemed like a possibility..." Yu Xiaoyu muttered.

"A person the vice principal wants to take as a disciple wouldn\'t be so impatient and ambitious!" Wu Yunzhou snorted, clearly displeased.

Cultivation talent was one thing, but diligence and effort were equally important.

Zhang Xuan had spent half an hour and hadn\'t selected a single book, only twitching in front of the shelves. Such a person wouldn\'t be a good disciple even if offered for free.

"City Lord, since it\'s not him, I will take my leave..." Confirming that Zhang Xuan was not the person he was looking for, Wu Yunzhou didn\'t waste any more words and turned to leave.

"I\'ll see you out..." Yu Longqing also shook his head. A servant trying to leap to the top was indeed challenging.

After a few steps, Yu Longqing turned to his daughter, "Xiaoyu, help Zhang Xuan pick a few books. Make sure he memorizes them quickly as a way to repay him for helping with the Cangback Eagle."

"Noted, Dad!"

Yu Xiaoyu nodded and approached Zhang Xuan, lowering her voice and pointing, "On the innermost shelf over there, there\'s a book called \'Five Directions Origin Technique.\' It\'s the best technique for finding a source pool. You should study it."

"Thank you, Miss Yu!"

Zhang Xuan clasped his hands gratefully. Although the power of the technique wasn\'t crucial for him, given his abilities to identify flaws and organize information, having someone provide such a recommendation meant a lot.

"Dad, wait for me..." Without saying more, Yu Xiaoyu turned and chased after her father. At the entrance of the library, she saw the city lord standing alone; the vice principal had already left.

With a smile, Yu Xiaoyu hugged her father\'s arm, "Dad, you can\'t just reward Zhang Xuan and not reward me. If I hadn\'t brought him here, you wouldn\'t have been able to tame the Cangback Eagle!"

"Indeed, my daughter is the best!" Yu Longqing looked at her affectionately, "Tell me, what do you want? As long as I can give it, it\'s yours..."

"I knew you loved me the most..." Yu Xiaoyu smiled, her bright eyes focused on him, "I want to train in your private silence room to achieve better results in tomorrow\'s evaluation..."

"Train in my private silence room?" Yu Longqing was taken aback, then shook his head, "No, I can\'t agree to that."
