On the way back, Xia Jian was preoccupied with worries.

Seeing that he hadn't gotten much information about the Brilliant Star, he then inquired about the 'Demon Fear' meditation method.

But Herammons told him that the former forces of the Linya Ruins did not have a meditation method called "Demonic Fear".

Moreover, the Lin Ya Ruins were originally a light-element wizarding force, and such a wizarding force would not recruit dark-element students!

Xia Jian was completely baffled by this. He could clearly control the Brilliant Star using the "Demonic Fear" meditation technique, yet the answers he received were so different.

There must be something wrong with it, but Xia Jian couldn't ask Mu Shuang directly.

As for Mu Yan, she gets a headache whenever meditation is mentioned and can't get any useful information from it.

…………

Cow Head House.

"What! I'm going to be a teacher! Aren't I supposed to be a student?"

Xia Jian looked at Mu Shuang, who was drinking tea, with a shocked expression and asked.

It was only then that he realized he was going to Damons College not to study, but to become a teacher!

If a half-baked wizard like him were to teach at a school, wouldn't that just be misleading students?

"You only need to teach anatomy, or do you think what I teach is inadequate?"

Mu Shuang put down her cup and said with an unfriendly expression.

Xia Jian immediately fell silent upon hearing this, but his gaze toward Mu Shuang carried a hint of doubt.

Don't you have any self-awareness about whether you taught him or not?

Aside from studying on his own, he spent almost all his time with Mu Yan, and only occasionally would he do dissection experiments with Mu Shuang.

"Don't make me punch you."

Noticing something amiss in Xia Jian's eyes, Mu Shuang said coldly.

"Oh, how could that be? The teachers teach the best. If they can't learn it, then they're mediocre and don't deserve the knowledge you teach."

Seeing this, Xia Jian immediately put on a smiling face and began to flatter Mu Shuang.

It must be said that there is a reason why treacherous officials are in power; almost everyone likes to hear flattering words in someone's ear.

But Mu Shuang was an exception.

Mu Shuang raised an eyebrow, glanced at Xia Jian sideways, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Aren't you implying that my knowledge is useless?"

Xia Jian's expression stiffened upon hearing this. How could he recognize such sarcasm?

How is that possible? My expression was perfect, and my eyes didn't change at all. Could it be that I really have mind-reading abilities?

Before Xia Jian could explain, a powerful sense of oppression descended upon him, pinning him to the ground.

"I have some important things to do right now, so you'd better behave yourself."

Mu Shuang stood up and issued a lukewarm threat.

Xia Jian wore an agreeable expression on his face, but his heart was full of disdain.

Who are you scaring?

Especially after knowing that she could control the Brilliant Star, Mu Shuang would definitely not do anything to her until she achieved her goal.

After all, there are very few people with pure dark attribute talents. If she dies, Mu Shuang may never see another person who cultivates the "Demonic Fear" meditation method.

"Hmm~"

"That doesn't sound very intimidating."

I know that Xia Jian is the kind of person who is completely unfazed and two-faced.

Mu Shuang tilted her head, then squatted down to look at Xia Jian.

"You like Mu Yan, right? I'm afraid you won't see her for a long time to come. As punishment for your previous behavior."

Mu Shuang reached out and gently lifted Xia Jian's head, smiling as she spoke.

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Xia Jian calmly replied without revealing his thoughts.

"Oh, really...?"

Mu Shuang's tone shifted abruptly, her face darkening: "Just because you don't like her doesn't mean you can take advantage of her with your groping hands?"

Xia Jian stared wide-eyed at Xiang Mushuang, not understanding why Mushuang knew about this.

amount……

Of course, he didn't do such a thing.

"I just bumped into her by accident while I was reading, it really wasn't intentional," Xia Jian stubbornly explained.

After all, Mu Yan likes to sit next to books, so it's perfectly normal for her to touch them when she picks them up; it's just ordinary physical contact.

"So I framed you? But I remember you can use telekinesis, right?"

Mu Shuang pinched Xia Jian's cheek hard.

Sometimes she was really curious about why some people had such thick skin; to some extent, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were invulnerable.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Xia Jian's body was unable to move under Mu Shuang's oppressive aura, and he could only scream in pain.

Mu Shuang ignored Xia Jian's grimacing and continued speaking to herself.

"You're still somewhat useful; at least I won't do anything to you for the time being."

"But if you continue to cheat and deceive me, and keep testing my limits, I don't think you want Mu Shuang to disappear forever."

A terrifying killing intent flashed in Mu Shuang's eyes.

Although it only lasted for a moment, it made Xia Jian feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, which was icy cold!

Xia Jian felt something was off; it seemed that the killing intent wasn't directed at him...

He had made a promise with Mu Yan that Mu Yan would come to see him after he returned from the Lin Ya Ruins, but Mu Yan did not appear last night.

Thinking of this, Xia Jian could only nod stiffly.

"That's good, that's what you do, right?"

Mu Shuang smiled and withdrew her oppressive aura, scratching Xia Jian's messy hair as if what had just happened was just an illusion.

Seeing Mu Shuang return to normal, Xia Jian breathed a sigh of relief, but silently added another entry to Mu Shuang's blacklist.

Once I have the strength, I will definitely let Mu Shuang know that what goes around comes around!

…………

As Mu Shuang went to the basement, Xia Jian also returned to his small room.

But Xia Jian didn't practice meditation or read books; instead, he started circling around the room.

In the corner of the room, various runes were engraved.

"That's right, it's an isolation formation. How did she know what was happening inside?"

Xia Jian stared at the runes on the ground, completely baffled.

After all, anyone would find it hard to remain calm if they were being spied on, especially since he often made pills and did other private things in his room.

But the runes on the ground are fine. Logically speaking, even a fourth-tier wizard shouldn't be able to penetrate the formation, right?

It's not that it's truly impossible, but rather that to achieve the level of being able to penetrate the isolation formation, the immense spiritual power released should be perceptible to oneself.

"This is unbelievable!"

Unconvinced, Xia Jian carefully inspected the third floor.

The runes that Xia Jian learned were all certified by the '+1' talent, so theoretically they couldn't be wrong.

After walking around the third floor, Xia Jian did not find any hidden formations, and the formations on the surface were all normal isolation formations.

Unable to find the hidden formation, Xia Jian sighed helplessly.

"Mu Shuang must have some kind of eavesdropping treasure. It seems I can't act recklessly here anymore."

Of course, "summer" refers to matters such as alchemy.

Fortunately, I'll be taking a position at the university soon, so maybe I can ask Herammons to set up a separate laboratory for me.
