In front of her cousin, Mu Lingxi might have appeared that she was not entirely affected by the news.But as soon as she was already a safe distance away from Mu Yanxiao her knees almost caved in, it felt as if it turned into mallows in an instant.
That it almost failed to support her own weight.
"MEOW"
[Watch your step, little la.s.s. Be careful!]
Ja.n.u.s could definitely feel the distress of his master right from the start so he had been paying her close attention.
Ready to transform into his panther form in a flash, whenever needed
Just as when Mu Lingxi was about to fall on her knees, Ja.n.u.s came to her aid and a.s.sisted her.
The news about her Brother Gaoyan"s disappearance was greatly unsettling for Mu Lingxi.
In fact, she was almost shaking all over her body right after she heard the news from Mu Yanxiao
She could not help but felt as if all of her strength left her body the moment Mu Yanxiao broke the news to her.
It was just that, she did not want her cousin to learn this one weakness of hers.
As such she tried to look indifferent about the matter, for as much as she could.
It was only when Mu Yanxiao could no longer see her did she allow herself to looked weak like that.
"MEOW"
[Calm down, little la.s.s. There"s no point panicking. You have to gather yourself.]
It was just a while ago that Mu Lingxi said something similar to those words to comfort Ja.n.u.s.
But this time, it was Ja.n.u.s who was comforting his master using those same words.
"Ja.n.u.s, I already had a lot of things in my mind. And now that even my brother was missing, how am I suppose to calm down? It is not like I can just turn a blind eye and not help him, right??"
"MEOW"
[Of course, it is not like that. All I am just trying to say is you need to be strong for you to be able to be much of a help to your brother. We have to think about our move. We got to formulate a feasible plan!]
"Ohhh... Ja.n.u.s... I think you got a point."
"MEOW
[Of course, I do! We both know that I always have a point... I am the main thinker here, after all.]
Mu Lingxi definitely heard the edge of the sarcasm in Ja.n.u.s "s voice when he said that.
It was obvious that he was trying to toot his own horn at that time.
If it was any other occasion, Mu Lingxi might have argued back with her cat about his claim of being the main thinker.
However, this time, she just decided to let it slide for the meantime and focused her attention into a.n.a.lyzing the situation
"Do you think my Brother Gaoyan was kidnapped or something like that?? That was why he suddenly disappeared??"
"MEOW"
[Well, we could not rule out that possibility. After all, it was not entirely surprising to know that many other influential families were going after your Mu Clan.]
Ja.n.u.s provided a reasonable explanation for his master inkling first before he provided her with one of his own inklings.
"MEOW"
[ What you just said had a big probability. But what if it has something to do with the apprentice necromancer??? Don"t you find it too coincidental as well??]
"Hmmm.. now that you mentioned it, that too was also suspecting, to say the least."
When Mu Lingxi was reminded about that specific detail, her eyes almost glowered with wisdom as another realization struck her squarely.
"As soon as we made our move searching for the whereabouts of the missing apprentice necromancer, this kind of mishap happened to the family involved, right after. Everything was happening a bit too coincidental that I was starting to had a hard time not to doubt that there was no one pulling the strings behind it."
"MEOW"
[Hmmm.. That was quite a good a.n.a.lysis, coming from you, little la.s.s. I must say, you were starting to use your brain more often lately.]
"Are you trying to mock me or that was supposed to be a compliment coming from you???"
Mu Lingxi asked her pet skeptically.
It was so rare for Mu Lingxi to hear Ja.n.u.s praised her.
As such, she could not help but question him, whenever her cat said something good about her
"MEOW"
[Hmm.. It depends on how you would like to take it, Anyways, the main point here is your a.n.a.lysis might hold water. If we were going to reconsider the things that transpired so far, it was indeed to coincidental.]
"Right we could think more about that later. Let us head back to our dorm room first. I am getting chilled now, the night was getting colder, nowadays."
"MEOW"
[Just for you, little la.s.s. Mine will about to start getting warmer again. Now that Luna was back...]
Ja.n.u.s said as he gave his master a naughty grin, making his whiskers move up and down.
"TSSSSS...."
Mu Lingxi could only roll her eyes when she saw Ja.n.u.s showing off.
Why is it that her pet got a better love life than her, the master???!!!!
Haaaayyyyy...
There were times that Mu Lingxi found these things a bit depressing. To the point that she sometimes even start to doubt her very existence.
She even wondered who was the real MC of this story. Whether it was her or her pet cat, Ja.n.u.s.
Because Ja.n.u.s seemed to get a better exposure and love story than her!
