Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

"Don't look so serious, cheer up."

Xia Jian smiled, picked up his water glass and took a sip, then looked at Bro again: "I came here today to ask you why you are so afraid of Mu Shuang."

The matter of Mu Shuang haunted him like a persistent nightmare.

However, others avoided talking about Mu Shuang, and even Herammons was unwilling to mention Mu Shuang too much.

Having no other option, Xia Jian had to come and ask this guy who was useless but extremely lucky.

Upon hearing Xia Jian call Mu Shuang by her name, Bro's right eye twitched slightly, but he quickly put on a calm expression and spoke.

"Hey, why don't you just ask your teacher about this?"

Xia Jian rolled his eyes. If Mu Shuang had told him, he wouldn't have bothered asking Bro. It's just because he had run out of ideas.

"As long as you tell me about Mu Shuang, all our problems can be wiped clean."

Compared to obtaining information related to Mu Shuang, some petty grudges are completely insignificant.

Seeing Bro's hesitant expression, Xia Jian added with an unfriendly tone, "What do you think would happen if I told Mu Shuang that you wanted to keep that small square tin box by yourself?"

"Hey, you can't say things like that. I didn't. I gave it to you directly, didn't I?"

Upon hearing this, Bro immediately became furious.

"Alright then, I'll find Mu Shuang later and tell her that Frank is bashing her behind her back."

Xia Jian stood up and said that he was about to leave the villa.

Bro's expression kept changing. Although he knew Xia Jian was talking nonsense, who knew if Mu Shuang would really come looking for his uncle?

After all, for someone like Mu Shuang, even hearsay could lead to immediate action.

"I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone else about this."

Bro stopped Natsumi from leaving, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Don't worry, my reputation is beyond reproach. I told you last time that killing is wrong, and see, I haven't caused you any trouble."

Hearing this, Xia Jian smiled and patted Bro on the shoulder.

Bro couldn't help but roll his eyes.

It's one thing if he's in class, but I don't know who's been hiding in secluded places to scare him.

If he hadn't been quick-witted and had his students accompany him the whole time, he'd probably be buried by now.

…………

With Bro's compromise, Xia Jian learned about Mu Shuang's background.

However, it's not really a matter of origin, because the wizards of Neilbella don't know where Mu Shuang came from. They only know that Mu Shuang suddenly appeared in this area about nineteen years ago.

At that time, Mu Shuang was kind-hearted and never made enemies. At a young age, her strength had already reached a terrifying fourth rank.

Everything was harmonious until a year after Mu Shuang appeared, a fifth-level wizard came to her door and a tremendous battle broke out between him and Mu Shuang.

The strength of a fifth-tier wizard is beyond doubt, but Mu Shuang can barely keep up with a fifth-tier wizard by relying on her endless stream of magical treasures.

However, the fifth-tier wizard was too overpowered, and Mu Shuang was defeated in no time, fleeing southwards.

Bro didn't know much about what happened after that. There were rumors that Mu Shuang defeated the fifth-tier wizard, but was also seriously injured.

Then Mu Shuang disappeared for a year. When she reappeared, her personality had changed drastically. She would kill her entire family at the slightest disagreement.

Like a harbinger of death, it plunged the entire southern part of the Southern Alliance Domain into chaos.

The most famous incident was a door-blocking incident.

Mu Shuang blocked a powerful force for two years, and not a single living being, not even a chicken, was spared from its territory.

Although that force managed to block Mu Shuang with their formation, the entire sect was almost wiped out by then, with only a few people hiding in the barrier to survive.

Knowing that things couldn't continue like this, the faction eventually compromised and was willing to pay a huge price to make peace.

But Mu Shuang had no sense of martial ethics. After luring out the only fourth-tier wizard, she killed him with lightning speed and then slaughtered the entire force.

After a fierce battle, the death toll exceeded five thousand.

From then on, Mu Shuang's fearsome reputation spread far and wide, and everyone who saw her was filled with dread.

There was nothing they could do; the strongest force in the area was only at the peak of the fourth rank, and they were powerless against such a powerful lone traveler.

Afterwards, Herammons somehow persuaded Mu Shuang to stay in Neilbella and rarely appeared in the public eye.

…………

Hearing this, Xia Jian's bad premonition intensified.

The main problem is that Mu Shuang is too strong, to the point of being despair-inducing.

Judging from what Bro said, without three or five fourth-tier wizards surrounding him, he probably wouldn't even be qualified to fight Mu Shuang.

And what Bro said seemed a bit strange.

I've been hearing Bro talk about Mu Shuang all the time, but what about Mu Yan?

Could it be that the Mu Yan who appeared at the beginning, and the one whose personality changed drastically later, is actually Mu Shuang?

Natsuma then shared his guess, but Bro gave him a chilling answer.

"What Mu Yan? Your teacher has always been alone. She has never had a sister named Mu Yan."

Bro explained, his face full of confusion.

Upon hearing this, Xia Jian's mind went blank, and he stood there stunned on the sofa.

If it weren't for Mu Yan, then I must be seeing a ghost?

Could it be that Mu Yan and Mu Shuang are the same person?

But this doesn't seem to make sense, as the two have completely different body types and personalities, and Xia Jian can even clearly feel the difference between them.

Furthermore, given Mu Shuang's brutality, other forces must have investigated her, yet they found no information about Mu Yan, and the very first person to appear was named Mu Shuang.

Xia Jian couldn't understand whether it was a mental breakdown or if Mu Yan had been hiding behind the scenes all along. But why would Mu Yan want to hide?

…………

Filled with doubt, Natsumi stood up to leave, but saw Bro looking hesitant to speak.

Xia Jian frowned. "What's wrong? Is there something you haven't told me?"

"There is indeed a little bit, but let's make it clear, don't tell anyone. I only heard it secondhand, and our past grievances are settled."

At this moment, Bro, unlike his usual timid self, stared intently into Natsumi's eyes with a serious expression and spoke.

Seeing this, Xia Jian naturally had no reason to refuse. Compared to Bro's matter, Mu Shuang's matter was clearly more important.

Xia Jian said solemnly, "Okay, I mean what I say, I will never cause you any more trouble!"

Seeing that Xia Jian had agreed, Bro was actually a little uneasy.

His reason for doing this was to make Xia Jian focus on Mu Shuang, so that regardless of whether Xia Jian had any ill intentions towards him, he could effectively avoid danger.

After all, Xia Jian has Mu Shuang protecting him, so most people really wouldn't dare to mess with him.

If it weren't for this reason, Xia Jian, a mere first-tier wizard, would have died eight hundred times over.
