Night.
Yu Xian sat in the hexagonal pavilion in his garden, constantly attempting to meditate and construct a not-too-complex magic circuit in his consciousness.
Compared to meditating for spells, constructing a magic circuit was clearly a bit more difficult, and the magic circuit he was trying to build this time was not Space magic, but Light and Shadow magic.
Spells centered on meditation, with the guidance of Space Blood Energy being relatively simple, while magic was the exact opposite, focusing more on guiding Space Blood Energy, with meditation mostly serving to assist in circuit construction.
“Mirage Doppelganger Technique!”
As soon as Yu Xian successfully constructed the magic circuit in his consciousness, he immediately shouted loudly.
Magic placed great emphasis on belief; when a caster loudly proclaimed the name of a magic, it significantly boosted the magic, almost increasing its power by one-third.
Although Yu Xian found this foolish, essentially announcing his moves to his opponent, he still obediently complied to successfully cast the magic.
However, after waiting for a while, a cool breeze blew through, and there was no movement around him.
“Failed? My constructed magic circuit had no problems.”
Yu Xian, unwilling to give up, carefully checked his surroundings, searching the hexagonal pavilion, the goldfish pond, and the flowers and plants nearby. Forget doppelgangers, not even a ghost was seen.
During the day, he felt he was a spell genius; at night, he was immediately proven wrong. Spell genius? No such thing!
Mirage Doppelganger Technique was the simplest Light and Shadow magic.
It essentially used the principle of a mirage to create numerous light and shadow doppelgangers of himself around.
Yu Xian had originally planned to learn this magic in ten minutes, but now three hours had passed, and he still hadn't learned it.
“Skill: Appraisal!”
Yu Xian raised his hand and immediately cast Skill: Appraisal on himself.
He couldn't believe he hadn't learned Mirage Doppelganger Technique.

There really wasn't any!
Yu Xian looked at his attributes, and his whole demeanor changed for the worse.
Because Space spells were too easy to learn, he had a misconception that perhaps he didn't need to wait for the talent skills that awakened every ten days; he could master a large number of skills just by self-study.
But self-deception was meaningless.
After this failure, Yu Xian could basically confirm that his ability to easily learn Space spells was not because he was a genius, but because the spatial attribute of Space Blood Energy was too strong.
Of course, Space Blood Energy was originally his ability, so strictly speaking, he was also a genius with a specific aptitude.
He lay on the seat of the hexagonal pavilion. Although a bit disheartened, he wasn't truly sad. After all, being able to learn so many Space spells, he had already gained a huge advantage.
Moreover, being in a luxurious villa, the thought of three whole acres of land, all his home, made it impossible to feel bad.
Even if he genuinely felt down, looking at the goldfish pond outside the hexagonal pavilion, feeding the fat goldfish in the pond, or walking in the garden, smelling the flowers, and enjoying the scenery, his mood would quickly improve.
Sometimes one had to admit, having money truly reduced many worries.
“Since other spells are difficult, I'll focus on researching Space spells.”
Yu Xian quickly came to terms with it. Space spells were, after all, top-tier spells, with only Time, Fate, and other such spells comparable to them.
Others wished they could learn them but couldn't, so it was already good that he could easily learn Space spells.
Although he lost the diversity of spells, Space spells were powerful!
The only pity was that the Kylin Department didn't have many Space-type skills recorded, as casters with Space talent were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Naturally, the inherited and developed Space spells were also relatively few.
The Kylin Department being able to record dozens of Space skills was considered a profound foundation among the extraordinary forces of various countries.
For the extraordinary forces of most small countries, not being able to produce even one Space spell was the norm.
The long night stretched ahead, a perfect time for quiet study.
Yu Xian picked up his phone, opened the Kylin APP, and began to diligently study the Sixty-Four Hexagrams of Fuxi. He had to first make up for his missing cultural knowledge, otherwise, even if a divine cultivation manual were placed before him, he would miss it because he couldn't understand it.
While he was memorizing, Nora's guardian, Luo Qi, appeared outside his house.
As Nora's guardian, Luo Qi had very complex feelings for Nora. He had a bit of a fatherly delusion, a bit of a brotherly delusion, and occasionally even viewed Nora as his forbidden possession.
He had been Nora's guardian since she was six years old, watching her transform from an innocent, adorable baby into the cheerful, lively, and bright young woman she was now.
As a Vampire who couldn't see the sun, Nora was, one could say, the sun in his heart.
During this time, Nora began refusing chauffeured rides. He initially didn't realize the problem, only thinking Nora wanted to exercise herself. After all, the bastard who stole Nora's blood was now an official of China, so the Duke's mission for Miss Nora naturally ended in failure.
It was a good thing that Nora was stimulated and began to work hard.
But recently, he gradually felt something was off. Nora seemed to have started to like going to school. Although Nora hadn't resisted school before, it was more like going to school to follow the crowd, without any enthusiasm whatsoever.
Now, she left home with a smile every day, which was too abnormal.
Especially today, Nora even started cultivating internal energy. Where did she get internal energy from? Would there be any hidden dangers?
Luo Qi immediately gathered the human bodyguards secretly protecting Nora. After some coercion and threats, he learned that Nora had been going to and from school with that bastard every day, and Nora had even asked the bodyguards to keep it a secret for her!
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, that damn mongrel!
The Blood Clan had been extremely generous to spare Yu Xian's life, and yet Yu Xian dared to lay hands on Miss Nora!
Luo Qi's entire being twisted in that moment.
