Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

Since it was at the city lord's banquet, Phyllis and Simon, these old rivals, exchanged a few words and then parted ways.

Although today's banquet is hosted by the city lord, it serves as a platform for those invited to develop business and relationships.

Phyllis quickly joined in, chatting and laughing with others in the crowd.

Johnny had already disappeared. Seeing that Phyllis was going to take him to meet the so-called high society people, Xia Jian made an excuse and slipped away.

Xia Jian came here just to have some fun. He didn't want to get bogged down in all sorts of interpersonal relationships with Phyllis. He'd rather spend that time looking at some pretty girls.

After wandering around the hall for a while, since he didn't know anyone there, Natsumi went to the garden behind the hall by himself.

Unlike the front hall, the garden was full of young people, with constant sounds of play and laughter, and a dazzling array of beautiful young women.

"This is the kind of youthful vigor that young people should have."

Xia Jian unconsciously revealed a smile.

This kind of life is obviously more pleasant than staying with that bunch of old geezers.

Looking at the young ladies in the garden, Xia Jian straightened her clothes and was just about to go in to chat with one of them about the origins of life when she caught sight of Johnny out of the corner of her eye.

Johnny was chatting and laughing with a young woman with dark blonde hair. Judging from the girl's hearty laughter, she was clearly attracted by Johnny's humor.

Xia Jian blinked, and Johnny didn't seem as bad as Phyllis had said.

Just as Xia Jian was about to go over and say hello to the two laughing and joking, he heard a silvery laugh and voice.

Hearing that familiar voice, Xia Jian's thoughts instantly returned to the night a month ago when she was robbed.

There's absolutely no mistake, that's the sound!

Xia Jian's ears twitched slightly, and he quickly followed the sound to see four women chatting and laughing. The familiar voice came from a woman with blonde hair.

The blonde woman was beautiful, looked to be under twenty years old, had a few freckles on her face, and wore a bright silver princess dress.

Just then, Leia came to Natsumi's side, tugged at his sleeve, and asked curiously, "Teacher, what are you looking at?"

When he saw Leia arrive, Xia Jian's eyes darted around slightly.

Although it was quite certain that the woman was the one who robbed the wizard's notebook, the people who came from the garden were all wealthy and powerful, so it was obviously not advisable to act rashly.

Then Xia Jian whispered a few words in Leia's ear.

"Isn't this a bad idea?" Leia looked at Natsumi with some hesitation.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xia Jian patted Leia on the shoulder to comfort her.

Leia hesitated for a moment, but still listened to Xia Jian and went to the group of women, chatting with them under the pretext of looking for someone.

Just as Leia was about to leave, she 'accidentally' knocked over the tea on the table, which spilled onto the freckled girl.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Leia apologized repeatedly and tried to help the freckled woman wipe the tea off her body.

The freckled woman shook her head slightly, not taking it to heart: "It's alright, just don't be so reckless next time."

"Is this young lady knight alright? I didn't expect to see her again. I apologize for my sister's reckless behavior and will offer compensation."

At this moment, Xia Jian walked up to Leia and said apologetically to the freckled girl.

The freckled girl paused for a moment after seeing Natsumi, but Natsumi, who was staring at the girl, still noticed it.

It really was this guy!

"No need for compensation. Besides, I'm not a knight, and this is our first meeting, so please don't make things up, sir."

The freckled girl said while wiping her clothes with a handkerchief.

Xia Jian sneered inwardly, "They're putting on quite a good act."

If there weren't so many people today, he would definitely have shown this young girl what he was capable of!

"You idiot, that's such a corny pickup line. You didn't intentionally let this girl do it, did you?"

At this moment, the freckled girl's friend stepped forward and teased with a light laugh, "Moreover, as everyone knows, our Miss Sibelle is not interested in knight training and prefers reading books."

"Of course not, and this lady knight, you didn't say that in my room last time, and you even took one of my precious things."

As soon as Xia Jian finished speaking, the scene fell silent instantly.

Hearing these ambiguous words, the freckled girl's friends all covered their mouths in disbelief, their eyes darting back and forth between Shibelle and Natsumi.

Hiber's expression turned slightly cold, and she looked somewhat displeased: "Mr. Xia Jian, please watch your tone. We don't know each other at all. If you continue like this, I'll have someone kick you out."

"I don't recall introducing myself just now."

Xia Jian stared intently at Xi Beier and said, enunciating each word clearly,

Only then did Sibel realize that she had said the wrong thing, and her expression became even colder.

That brat is obviously playing a trick on her on purpose!

"Miss Knight, I have something I want to say to you. Should we go somewhere else or..." Natsumi paused, her eyes sweeping over the onlookers who were listening intently.

"Why can't we say this here...?"

Just as Shiber's friend was about to speak, Shiber coldly pulled Xia Jian away.

Those around them stared wide-eyed at the sight, and after realizing that the two were no ordinary people, they began to whisper among themselves about Xia Jian.

After all, Hibern is a lord's daughter. It would be strange if there wasn't something going on if she were to leave with a man in public.

…………

With Shiber pulling her along, Natsumi was led into a spacious bedroom.

Most of the surrounding items are made of crystal. A cabinet on one side contains many beautiful clothes. At the far end is a large white bed, and a treasure resembling a luminous pearl is placed on the ceiling, illuminating the entire bedroom.

Upon seeing himself being led into this woman's boudoir, Xia Jian instantly realized something was wrong.

In particular, the portraits of Hibern and the lord hanging on the wall prove that the other party is very likely the young lady of the city lord's mansion!

Xia Jian cursed inwardly. He never expected that someone he randomly grabbed would be a young lady from a lord's family. How was he supposed to play this game?

"I spared your life last time, but I never expected you to sneak into this place. I think you really don't want to live anymore."

Hiber released Xia Jian's hand and stared at him with an unfriendly expression.

"You think I'm afraid of you?"

Xia Jian frowned, his fists clenching unconsciously: "Last time I was just injured, did you really think you could beat me?"

Now, a month later, his strength has undergone a qualitative change.

Even if he's a mid-level knight, putting aside his status, the other party might not necessarily be able to defeat him.

"Heh, then I'll see if your fists are as hard as your mouth!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Shibel punched Xia Jian in the face.
