日日碰狠狠添天天爽不卡

The City Lord was taken aback, "You sensed it?"

His daughter and Mo Yanxue hadn\'t noticed anything, but this guy, who hadn\'t even opened his Source Pool, detected it. Could it be that the Heaven\'s Fate Energy he released was all absorbed by him?

He couldn\'t help but ask, "Could it be that... you\'ve found your Source Pool?"

"Not yet..." Zhang Xuan looked dejected, "Maybe my talent is too poor!"

"Don\'t be discouraged. You\'re older, with more distractions, and it\'s harder to concentrate. Searching for the Source Pool will be more difficult. Just take it step by step, and you may still succeed..."

Seeing that Zhang Xuan\'s expression was sincere and not feigned, Yu Longqing offered some comfort, though he was secretly laughing at himself.

He had really become paranoid. Someone who hadn\'t even opened their Source Pool couldn\'t absorb Heaven\'s Fate Energy, even if they wanted to.

Moreover, even if they had, absorbing over 2,000 strands of Heaven\'s Fate Energy in just a few breaths was impossible.

So, it definitely wasn\'t a human factor!

"Perhaps there was a problem with the library\'s array, and it couldn\'t retain the Heaven\'s Fate Energy, causing it to dissipate..."

After pondering for a moment, Yu Longqing guessed.

The library\'s array, like the nine dragon pillars at White Rock Academy, also had the effect of locking and isolating source energy. That\'s why he dared to let his daughter wait here. Now that there was a problem, could it be due to the array?

Just as he was about to inspect the array, he suddenly remembered something and looked at the young man not far away, "Have you chosen a technique you like?"

"Thank you, City Lord. This \'Five Directions Origin Technique\' seems suitable, and I\'ve almost memorized it..."

Understanding the implied dismissal, Zhang Xuan placed the book back on the shelf, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. I\'ll take my leave now."

"You\'re welcome. The City Lord\'s mansion always welcomes you, Mr. Zhang."

Yu Longqing smiled and waved, "Send our guest out!"

Soon, a guard came over and escorted Zhang Xuan out.

Seeing him leave, Yu Longqing walked to the corner of the library, lightly brushed his hand over a bookshelf, and a triangular array flag appeared—the base of the library\'s array.

Repeating this process, he walked to five places in total, finding five array flags. Yu Longqing then pointed his finger, and a force quickly spread around, causing the array flags to vibrate, producing visible ripples.

"It\'s not broken!"

Yu Longqing frowned.

His actions just now were to test if there was a problem with the array. It appeared to be in perfect condition. If there was indeed Heaven\'s Fate Energy, it should have been retained and not dissipated.

"Should I... try again?"

Knowing he wouldn\'t rest until he found the cause, Yu Longqing returned to the quiet room and brought another treasure, continuing to activate the array.

This time, he was more cautious, purifying only five strands of Heaven\'s Fate Energy before stopping and rushing back to the library.

Looking up, he saw his daughter and Mo Yanxue had closed their eyes and were quietly cultivating.

Sensing the room, Yu Longqing was stunned.

This time, the five strands of Heaven’s Fate Energy were like goldfish trapped in a tank, swimming around the library, unable to escape.

“The array isn’t broken, so the Heaven’s Fate Energy from earlier wasn’t lost but absorbed. What’s different now compared to earlier?”

Comparing the current situation with the previous one, Yu Longqing’s pupils contracted. “The only difference is that Zhang Xuan has left... Could it really be related to him?”

“Low-key, young, first time at White Rock Academy, standing at the north end of the arena...”

Standing still, recalling the conversation between the Vice Principle Wu Yunzhou and his daughter, City Lord Yu couldn’t help but shiver. All the conditions matched, except... the Source Pool wasn’t activated!

But if the Source Pool wasn’t activated, could he really absorb Heaven’s Fate Energy, and in thousands of strands at that?

Frowning, Yu Longqing waved his hand, “Bring Hu Haiming over!”

Soon, a soldier in armor walked in. He was Captain Hu, the one who had stopped Zhang Xuan to check his identity when he arrived at the City Lord’s mansion.

Hu Haiming clasped his fists, “City Lord!”

“Zhang Xuan now has an identity and won’t return to the Mo’s family. Follow him and see where he goes and what he does, and report back to me in detail. Also... make sure he doesn’t notice you!”

Yu Longqing instructed, “Don’t tell anyone about this, not even my daughter.”

“Yes!” Hu Haiming clasped his fists, turned, and left quickly.

“A vagrant who can naturally attract source beasts, even making them willingly submit after being beaten, Zhang Xuan, I’m really curious about what you’re hiding...”

City Lord Yu was filled with curiosity. Having been in White Roc City for so long, this was the first time he was intrigued by someone with no cultivation.

Trusting Captain Hu’s abilities, Yu Longqing turned his attention back to his daughter and Mo Yanxue.

The two were focused, trying to absorb the scattered Heaven’s Fate Energy. But whether due to their talent or something else, their progress was slow. The five strands of energy had been swirling in the room for over a quarter of an hour without dissipating.

“Take it slow.”

Knowing there was no point in urging them, Yu Longqing was about to return to the quiet room when he saw Captain Hu hurrying back, his face unusually grim.

“I told you to follow him. Why are you back so soon?”

A sense of foreboding rose in Yu Longqing’s heart as he asked.

Kneeling on one knee, Hu Haiming looked embarrassed, “It’s my incompetence. I lost him. Please punish me!”

“You lost him? Stand up and explain what happened!”

Yu Longqing frowned. Captain Hu was the head of the guards and had reached the fourth level of the Source Pool Realm. Losing track of someone who hadn’t even opened their Source Pool, especially in such a short time, was concerning.

Hu Haiming stood up and explained, “After receiving the order, I followed Zhang Xuan. He wandered around, bought two buns from Zheng Yuan’s Bun Shop, then bought a piece of clothing from Liu Ming’s Clothing Store. I kept my distance and thought he hadn’t noticed. But when we reached “Wenxiang Courtyard”, he was bumped by a girl. After that, I lost sight of him!”

“Wenxiang Courtyard?”

Yu Longqing was puzzled.

“It’s... it’s the brothel in the city!” Hu Haiming quickly explained.

Yu Longqing was stunned, “I know it’s a brothel. What I’m puzzled about is... why did Zhang Xuan head straight to a brothel?”

He had just gained his identity after escaping vagrancy, and now he went to a brothel. Was this guy... that desperate?
