Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

Time passed by, and night quietly descended.

At this moment, Xia Jian was engrossed in cultivation when he suddenly felt a strange 'coolness'.

It was as if a pair of eyes were watching him, their cold gaze sending chills down his spine and giving him goosebumps.

"Could there really be something wrong with this meditation method?"

Thinking of this, Xia Jian slowly opened his eyes in confusion.

Holy crap!

Startled, Xia Jian instinctively curled up in the corner like a frail little girl.

Before Xia Jian stood a beautiful woman, about twenty years old, with black hair and big eyes, staring coldly at him.

I initially thought there was something wrong with the meditation method, but it turns out there really was someone watching him!

Anyone would be startled if they were watched so silently.

Moreover, her own door was closed, so it was hard to imagine the extent of her strength that allowed the other party to enter so quietly.

Moreover, the woman's appearance was somewhat similar to Mu Shuang's, just like Mu Shuang after she grew up.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The woman's voice was cold and indifferent, as if she cared about nothing in the world.

"I am a disciple of Teacher Mu Shuang. You must be Mu Yan. I've heard Teacher Mu Shuang mention you before."

Looking at Mu Shuang, who seemed to be a larger version of herself, Xia Jian quickly explained.

Without a doubt, the other person must be the sister Mu Shuang mentioned with whom she had a bad relationship.

"Mu Shuang's student?"

Mu Yan frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought, and looked at the devilish meditation method beside Xia Jian's bed.

"Don't practice this meditation method anymore, otherwise..."

He had only spoken halfway when Mu Yun suddenly clutched his head in pain.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Xia Jian quickly got up and stepped forward to help Mu Yan.

But then Mu Yan reached out her hand, and an invisible force shook Xia Jian back onto the bed.

Mu Yan covered her head and staggered out of the room. When Xia Jian arrived at the stairwell, he only saw Mu Yan's back as she entered the second floor.

Xia Jian's face was full of anxiety: "Why are you like this? You should finish what you're saying first."

What does it mean when someone only says half of what they mean? It's making everyone uneasy.

However, the second floor is a place that Mu Shuang has explicitly forbidden people from entering.

After a moment's thought, in order to figure out what was wrong with the meditation method, Xia Jian gritted his teeth and prepared to go in and find out, otherwise he was afraid he really wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Thinking of this, Xia Jian glanced furtively down the stairs, wondering if he would run into Mu Shuang by chance.

Just as Xia Jian turned around to go upstairs, Mu Shuang was already standing in front of him, staring at him with an icy expression.

Summer couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

What the hell? This family walks without making a sound.

They appear and disappear unpredictably, making them impossible to guard against!

"What do you want to do?"

Mu Shuang stared intently at Xia Jian in an icy tone and asked.

Those emotionless eyes seemed to suggest that unless Natsumi could find a reason that satisfied her, she would keep him here forever.

Xia Jian's heart was pounding uncontrollably, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and go for it.

"Actually, I just wanted to ask if you'd like a late-night snack. I'm quite skilled at cooking, and maybe it will suit your taste."

Xia Jian nervously rubbed his hands together, and asked with a fawning smile.

There's a saying that goes, "To win someone's heart, you must first win their stomach."

Although the situation may be somewhat different now, Xia Jian was really out of options and couldn't think of any other reasons to defend himself.

After all, they had said during the day that we couldn't go in, and now that it's evening, they're standing at the second-floor entrance. There's absolutely no reason to explain it.

As for taking action...

Stop joking. There's a difference between dying right now and dying later.

Judging from Mu Shuang's imposing aura during the day, her strength is far more than just that of a second-tier wizard.

Just as Xia Jian was waiting anxiously, Mu Shuang's cold expression suddenly disappeared, and she transformed into a sweet-smiling girl next door.

"I see. I'm actually hungry. Let's go downstairs then."

Mu Shuang linked arms with Xia Jian, her face beaming with a happy smile, as if the person from just now wasn't her at all.

…………

And so, Xia Jian, filled with trepidation, was led downstairs to the kitchen by Mu Shuang.

Fortunately, Mu Shuang did not make any other moves, which relieved Xia Jian. At least his life should be saved.

As Xia Jian cooked, she recalled Mu Shuang's behavior earlier and couldn't help but label her as "unpredictable".

As for Mu Yan's matter, Xia Jian wanted to ask Mu Shuang, but for a moment he didn't know how to bring it up.

One person told him to learn meditation, while the other told him not to practice meditation.

Various schemes and plots flashed through Xia Jian's mind, but the key point was that he didn't sense anything amiss.

His practice went very smoothly, as if the meditation method was tailor-made for him.

"Is it ready yet? I'm hungry."

Mu Shuang lay on the table, her soft, sweet voice reaching Xia Jian's ears.

Upon hearing this, Xia Jian snapped out of his daze and said, "It'll be ready soon."

Cooking is not difficult for Xia Jian. Although she is not a master chef, everyone who has eaten her food says it is delicious.

However, because he was a young master for a while when he first transmigrated, he is now too lazy to cook for himself, and even in the last two months, he has been eating the most convenient grilled meat as his staple food.

Summer's meal was served very quickly.

The color, fragrance and taste!

Thanks to the rare and exotic herbs of this world, some dishes can be cooked to the level of a master chef from my previous life with just simple cooking.

Of course, this is on the premise that it doesn't burn.

"Mmm, not bad, oh, it's delicious."

Mu Shuang wolfed down the food on the table, which reassured Xia Jian somewhat.

Looking at Mu Shuang, who had changed into clean clothes, Xia Jian couldn't help but think of Mu Yan, who had suddenly appeared.

"Should we invite the teacher's sister to come down for dinner?"

Xia Jian asked casually.

But as if triggering some kind of mechanism, Mu Shuang stopped eating, slowly raised her head and looked at Xia Jian expressionlessly.

"Have you seen her?"

An inexplicable pressure descended, and Xia Jian's nerves tightened, not understanding what was wrong.

"I just saw a figure from behind, wasn't that your sister?"

Xia Jian asked somewhat haltingly.

"From now on, you don't need to concern yourself with her anymore, and you're not allowed to talk about her here, understand?"

Mu Shuang stood up from her chair, leaned forward slightly, and stared coldly at Xia Jian as she spoke.

At this moment, Xia Jian dared not object. Although he did not understand why this was the case, he could tell that the relationship between the two was really bad.

Xia Jian nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, fearing that a moment's delay would lead to unpredictable consequences.

"That's a good girl."

Mu Shuang patted Xia Jian's head, and a sweet smile returned to her face.

Xia Jian was truly frightened and dared not ask any more questions related to Mu Yan.

Mu Shuang continued eating her meal as if everything had returned to normal.
