Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

*Snap*

Suddenly, the crisp sound of a door opening rang out.

Xia Jian turned his head and saw that the mouth of the cow-headed house was upturned, and a little girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old poked her head out of the cow's mouth.

"Did you come here to see me?"

The little girl looked timidly at Xia Jian and asked.

*Bang!*

Just as Xia Jian was about to answer, he saw a man on the opposite path, as if he had seen a ghost, frantically knocking over a trash can.

Looking around, all the passersby who had been watching the commotion had disappeared, leaving only a little kid crying loudly lying on the lawn.

"Damn it, is this some kind of overreaction?!"

Looking at the desolate streets, Xia Jian felt a chill run down his spine and goosebumps rose all over his body.

Especially the person who just knocked over the trash can—if I'm not mistaken, that was a formal wizard!

"No, I was just passing by."

Xia Jian shook his head slightly and replied in a calm tone.

After saying that, Xia Jian ignored the little girl and started to leave.

Just then, a powerful pressure enveloped Xia Jian, and his raised foot, stretched out in mid-air, could not be stomped down.

Xia Jian gritted his teeth, and his magical power surged wildly within him.

But no matter how hard he tried, the oppressive aura emanating from him did not lessen; in fact, it intensified, causing his bones to creak and groan under the pressure.

Xia Jian was utterly shocked; the opponent's strength definitely exceeded that of a second-tier opponent!

Thank you for sending me the flowers.

The little girl suddenly appeared beside Xia Jian, took the flower from Xia Jian's hand, smelled it, and said.

When Xia Jian turned her head with difficulty, what came into view was a little girl wearing a white dress stained with blood.

Blood dripped from the hem of her skirt to the ground, as if death was beckoning to Xia Jian, and Xia Jian's heart involuntarily quickened its pace.

The little girl glanced at Xia Jian curiously for a moment, then turned and walked towards the cow-headed house.

At this moment, Xia Jian felt a lightness on his body. He was already drenched in sweat and knelt down on the ground. Before he could even feel grateful for his narrow escape, Xia Jian hurriedly walked back the way he came.

"Hey, you've come to the wrong place, this is where I live."

Just then, the little girl's voice rang in Xia Jian's ears.

The voice was like a demon's whisper, making Xia Jian's heart tighten.

Looking up at the house in front of him, he saw a woman standing at the window, secretly peeking at him.

Seemingly noticing Natsume's gaze, the woman hurriedly pulled up the curtains with a look of panic.

Seeing this, Xia Jian felt like cursing. These people must have some serious illness, making him extremely anxious.

"Would you like me to lead you by the hand?"

The girl's voice rang out this time, but her tone carried a hint of impatience.

Afraid of being instantly defeated by the girl, Xia Jian could only grit his teeth and turn around, forcing a stiff smile: "No need, I'm coming."

…………

Following the girl into the bull-headed house, Xia Jian immediately felt refreshed, as the concentration of spiritual energy inside was incomparable to that outside.

"Please sit down."

The girl pointed to the chair next to her and said with a sweet smile.

For a moment, Xia Jian couldn't help but feel slightly dazed.

If it weren't for the heavy pressure just now, and that white dress stained with blood, Xia Jian might have really thought that the person in front of him was just an ordinary little girl next door.

"Are you here to propose to me?"

As soon as Xia Jian sat down, the girl said something shocking, which startled him.

"Um, well, it was Wizard Harvey who asked me to visit you. He said he missed you a lot since we hadn't seen each other for a while, and I happened to be passing by, so he asked me to come and see you."

Xia Jian forced himself to make up a story, never mentioning the matter of becoming an apprentice.

There was nothing he could do; the reaction from the group of wizards outside was far too "intense." Xia Jian, unaware of the situation, dared not admit that he had come to hook up with a rich woman.

"Lying is naughty!"

The girl leaned her head in front of Xia Jian, blinked, and smiled as she spoke.

Although the girl looked cute, the inexplicable oppressive aura made Xia Jian tremble all over and his scalp tingle.

"Actually, it was Wizard Harvey who sent me to become your apprentice, Wizard Muyan."

Having no other choice, Xia Jian had to bite the bullet and reveal the purpose of his visit.

He realized that this girl's strength was beyond what could be calculated by common sense; she was definitely not comparable to an ordinary second-tier wizard, but rather a third-tier or higher wizard.

In the face of someone with such power, lying will only harm you in the end; it's better to honestly confess.

Anyway, he hadn't done anything heinous, so the other party probably wouldn't do anything to him, um... probably not, right?

"Oh, I see. Harvey, that simp, really put his heart into it."

The girl returned to her seat, a look of realization dawning on her face.

The oppressive force that had been pressing down on Xia Jian disappeared, but before Xia Jian could even catch his breath, the girl's cold gaze fell upon him.

"But didn't he tell you that Mu Yan is my sister, that my name is Mu Shuang, and that..."

The girl paused for a moment, then said coldly, her expression icy, "I've never gotten along with this younger sister!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure descended upon Xia Jian once again, even more intensely than before.

Under this oppressive force, the stool beneath Xia Jian suddenly shattered, and Xia Jian landed hard on his backside.

Xia Jian was a little stunned by the fall. At this moment, he was cursing Harvey's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind. Such important information was not told to him!

Suddenly, the girl's cold expression vanished, replaced by the sweet smile she had at the beginning.

"But it's okay, I won't look down on you. From today onwards, you are my student."

Mu Shuang walked over to Xia Jian and helped him up, even thoughtfully patting the dust off his clothes.

Xia Jian stood still, not daring to move, afraid of causing some trouble again.

But what you fear most is what happens most often.

"What, you don't want to...?"

Seeing that Xia Jian remained silent, Mu Shuang's eyes slowly turned cold. Upon seeing this, Xia Jian directly interrupted Mu Shuang's spellcasting.

"Yes, yes! You look beautiful inside and out. I've always dreamed of having a teacher like you."

Xia Jian held Mu Shuang's hand tightly and said with a face full of admiration.

At this moment, Xia Jian was already in tears, truly terrified by the unpredictable little girl in front of her.

What kind of situation is this? It's completely different from what I expected.

Even though I had rehearsed it a million times in my mind, I never expected it to turn out this way.

"Great, I like students like you."

Mu Shuang tilted her head and smiled sweetly, as if she really liked Xia Jian.

Despite being so cute, Xia Jian felt a chill run down her spine, as if she had truly walked into the lion's den.

Although he was afraid, Xia Jian dared not show the slightest displeasure on his face. He could only look for an opportunity to leave.

"The outside world is dangerous, so please don't leave Neilbella."

As if she could read minds, Mu Shuang stared intently at Xia Jian and stuck out her tongue as she spoke.
