Thoughts flitted by as Xu Yuan silently shook his head.
Heh... how adolescent.
Gathering these random thoughts, his will-spirit reached out and retracted the Source Crystal from the center of the Soul Locking Formation into the Sumeru Ring, after which Xu Yuan sat cross-legged to absorb all the liquid Origin Qi in the room before finally taking a long breath.
Always engrossed in cultivation, it had been over half a month since he arranged for those Protectors to gather information; it was about time he checked on their progress.
Besides seeking information on the main character of the plot, he had also tasked these Protectors with investigating whether the Hook Bars in Jingjiang City had recently groomed any new leading courtesans.
Thinking this, Xu Yuan called out loudly toward the door:
"Someone, go call Xue Yong here."
....
A quarter hour later,
"Knock, knock, knock—"
The top floor chamber of the Zuixian Pavilion was knocked upon.
"Enter."
