“Brother, why does that woman look so fierce?”

Audrey slowly moved behind Hughes. Her intuition told her that the woman across the street was very dangerous.

She had already activated her spiritual power. How could she not be fierce?

Hughes smiled bitterly to himself. He had a certain understanding of Asuro.

Three years ago, when Asuro brought the anti-magic stone to see him, she was already a level-eight Saint Magister.

Not only that, because she had cultivated the anti-magic stone, Asuro’s mana was higher than most saint magisters.

In addition, this woman had spent many years overseas killing exotic beasts, so her body was naturally tainted with some killing intent.

It was fine before, as Asuro was probably thinking about something at that time.

When Hughes’s gaze landed on her, her super strong spiritual power was revealed and automatically searched for targets that might cause harm to her.

In such a powerful, carpet-like search, ordinary people like Audrey would naturally feel fear.

Even Hughes, who was now a Tier 3 mage, had unconsciously activated his defense mode under the pressure of this spiritual power much less Audrey.

“Brother… brother, that woman is coming. What should we do!”

Audrey huddled behind Hughes, her voice trembling like a frightened rabbit.

“There’s no need to be afraid. She won’t hurt us. I know her.”

Hughes patted Audrey’s Head and said with a mix of emotions,

“Speaking of which, she can be considered half a teacher of mine.”

“Huh!”

Audrey looked at Hughes in surprise.

When did second brother have such a teacher? Why didn’t I know?

Furthermore, this woman is so scary. Could this woman have coerced my brother.

Ahhh! She’s coming, she’s coming.

Audrey closed her eyes in horror, attempting to use this method to dispel the fear in her heart.

However, the fear that came from the depths of her bones was like gangrene and couldn’t be dispelled.

“When did you cultivate?”

The woman’s voice was very cold, but it was as moving like a silver bell.

“I just cultivated not long ago.”

Hughes answered Asuro’s question with a straight face.

“Was it before your talent recovered, or after your talent recovered?”

Dong!

Hughes’ heart was immediately came up to his throat.

How could she tell that my talent had recovered?

But on the surface, Hughes still tried his best to remain calm.

“I practiced it after my talent recovered.”

Asuro smiled sweetly and quietly withdrew the spiritual energy that was strolling around her.

“You have managed to refine six anti-magic stones in just a few days. You’re pretty good.”

After saying that, Asuro took out a notebook from her pocket and handed it to Hughes.

“This contains my experience of practicing the anti-magic stone cultivation method back then. You can practice it according to it.”

“Thank…”

Without waiting for Hughes to finish speaking, Asuro appeared beside Audrey in a flash.

She stretched out her right index finger and gently tapped Audrey’s forehead.

Audrey, who had been trembling all this while, instantly stopped trembling when she was tapped. She remained motionless like a puppet.

“I’m not a demoness. I won’t hurt her.”

A cold voice rang in Hughes’ ears, dispelling the water elements that Hughes had gathered.

Hughes looked at Asuro in puzzlement. He didn’t understand why the water dragon spell that he had been using would be dispelled by this woman with a single sentence.

“Don’t be surprised. When you reach Tier 8, you can do it too.”

Asuro seemed to have seen through Hughes’ heart and explained casually.

“Well, you should be able to be better than me. After all, you are only fifteen years old.”

“You have mastered the magic circuit at fifteen years old. Your talent is so good that even I am a little jealous.”

Hughes was shocked. His second biggest secret was actually noticed by this woman with one look.

Is a level-eight mage really that strong?

My father also a level-eight mage. Why does he needs to touch my body to detect the magic circuit in my body, but this woman doesn’t?

Could this be the difference between an anti-magic mage and an ordinary mage?

Just as Hughes was guessing Asuro’s strength, Asuro retracted his index finger that was placed between Audrey’s brows.

“Are you willing to learn magic from me?”

Asuro looked at Audrey expressionlessly. Her tone didn’t sound like she was taking in a disciple, it sounded more like she was having a casual chat.

“Learn from me. I can guarantee that in a year’s time, no one in the younger generation of the imperial capital will be a match for you.”

At this point, Asuro turned to look at Hughes and teased

“Of course, this doesn’t include a monster like your brother whose talent is so good that it makes me jealous.”

Asuro deliberately emphasized the word ‘talent’, which made Hughes’ scalp tingle.

What did this woman see in me?

Fortunately, Asuro’s penetrating gaze did not linger on Hughes for too long.

“Are you willing, little sister? If you’re willing, I’ll take you away right now.”

Audrey looked at Hughes with hesitation.

Like most of the young people in the imperial capital, Audrey also had a heart that yearned for transcendence.

However, for so many years, whenever she mentioned that she wanted to learn magic, her father, who had always doted on her, would fly into a rage. Not only would he not agree to her request, he would even harshly reprimand her.

What’s wrong with a girl learning magic? Why must she learn magic? Is she crazy?

Do you know how dangerous magic is? If you’re not careful, your life will be lost. Do you know that?

What’s the use of learning magic? Fighting with others?

Every time her father found various reasons to reject her, Audrey would be extremely angry.

But now, when a such powerful woman stood in front of her and said that she wanted to take her in as a disciple, she wouldn’t dare to.

Audrey, who had always yearned for magic, shrank back.

She looked at Hughes hesitantly, worried that if she followed this woman to learn magic, she would never see her brother again.

She didn’t know why she had such a feeling, but it was very clear.

Audrey wanted to learn magic very much, and she had quarreled with Norton over this matter many times over the years.

However, Audrey wanted to accompany Hughes more. In the past three years, Audrey had seen Hughes’s helpless state too many times.

She was afraid that after she left, Hughes would have no one to accompany him when he was helpless.

“Brother, I don’t want to go. I…”

“Go. Listen to your brother. Follow your teacher to learn magic.”
