Mind Reader? I'd Rather Quit Being Senior Brother!
Chapter 35 – The mountain man has his own clever plans
Flowing Cloud Sect, Azure Sea Peak.
This mountain is called Azure Sea Peak not because there is an actual sea on it, but because there is a verdant lake at the peak, named Azure Sea Lake, thus giving the mountain its name.
At this moment, at the top of Azure Sea Peak, beside Azure Sea Lake.
Dongfang Yu, dressed in a purple Taoist robe, was introducing Lin Aotian to his future fellow disciples.
"...Alright, Aotian, you've met my three direct disciples. From now on, you are my fourth direct disciple, and they are your senior brothers and sister, understood?" Dongfang Yu gently stroked his white beard and said to Lin Aotian beside him.
"Disciple understands." Lin Aotian respectfully replied, then earnestly saluted the two men and one woman opposite him, "Senior Brother He, Senior Brother Qi, Senior Sister Zhang."
"Hahaha, good, good, Junior Brother Lin, to be able to draw Qi into your body and enter the Qi Refining Realm at such a young age, you must be quite the little genius." Senior Brother He laughed heartily, "Afterwards, I'll take you to meet the other fellow disciples, they should also welcome your joining."
"Just lucky, thank you, Senior Brother He." Lin Aotian saluted again, "I hope Senior Brothers and Sister will guide me in the future."
Seeing this, everyone present showed a satisfied expression.
So humble and polite, not arrogant or impatient, it seems this child not only has excellent talent but also a good temperament.
However, none of them noticed that at this moment, as Lin Aotian bowed his head in salute, a hint of a typical villainous cunning flashed in his eyes.
These three nobodies, just because they've been cultivating longer and have a higher level than me? Give me some time, and I'll surpass you all in no time. Once I win over the sect leader, you'll all have to kneel and salute me! But, this Senior Sister Zhang does look quite nice, maybe I should consider winning her over first...
"To be honest, Junior Brother Lin, you really are quite handsome." Senior Sister Zhang teased with a smile, looking at Lin Aotian's still somewhat childish face, "I wonder if Junior Brother Lin has someone in his heart? If not, you might consider your Senior Sister here."
"Senior Sister Zhang... what are you... what are you saying?" Lin Aotian, who was secretly thinking about how to win over Senior Sister Zhang, immediately showed more embarrassment on his already somewhat shy face, waving his hands in a flustered manner.
"Alright, don't scare your junior brother, let's disperse. I'll take Aotian to familiarize himself with Azure Sea Peak." Dongfang Yu said, and his three direct disciples immediately prepared to leave.
At this moment, Lin Aotian suddenly spoke, "Senior Brothers and Sister, you say I'm a little genius for being able to draw Qi into my body at such a young age, so does that mean there are even more talented geniuses in the sect?"
Hearing this, the expressions of the people present stiffened slightly, and even the silent Senior Brother Qi showed a look of utter despair.
The genius in this sect should be that disciple from Green Lotus Peak that the old man mentioned, right? But why does this Qi guy have that expression?
Intentionally asking to probe for information about Green Lotus Peak, Lin Aotian couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Junior Brother Lin, don't mind it. In our sect, being called a genius might be a bit difficult. After all, just in terms of cultivation realm, you might need to draw Qi into your body by the age of eight to stand on the same starting line as those monsters from Green Lotus Peak..." Senior Brother He said dejectedly.
Drawing Qi at eight?
Lin Aotian was stunned upon hearing this.
Although he was a transmigrator, he had learned some common knowledge about the cultivation world on the way back with Dongfang Yu, so he understood the significance of drawing Qi at eight.
Eight years old, probably not even understanding what cultivation is, and already drawing Qi into the body? No, calm down, Lin Aotian, even if they're extraordinary, they're just natives. With the help of the System, you can reach Qi Refining in a day. Those without the System, no matter how strong, how strong can they be? Ridiculous.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lin Aotian looked at Senior Brother Qi and asked, puzzled, "Then why is Senior Brother Qi reacting like this..."
Hearing this question, the expressions of the people present stiffened again.
"Hey, it's no big deal, just that he wrote a 30,000-word love letter to Senior Sister Luo, and after waiting for half a year, found out she hadn't even read it. What's the big deal? Still not over it?" Senior Sister Zhang, clearly straightforward, seeing the awkward atmosphere, directly spoke up.
"You... you... waaah!"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Senior Brother Qi's eyes reddened, and he turned and ran away, covering his face.
"......"
Watching this, Lin Aotian thought to himself that something seemed off about this sect.
But, Senior Sister Luo, huh? It seems Green Lotus Peak indeed has many beauties, perfect for a harem...
While thinking this, Lin Aotian saw Senior Sister Zhang's eyes redden, "Crying, crying, what's there to cry about? At least you wrote a letter, unlike me, who only dares to secretly like Senior Brother Xiao, without the courage to confess... I... waaah!"
Saying this, Senior Sister Zhang also turned and ran away, covering her face.
"Uh, Master, I'll go catch those two back." Senior Brother He, seeing the situation, immediately volunteered and quickly turned to leave.
In an instant, only Dongfang Yu and Lin Aotian were left.

Lin Aotian: Alright, the people in this sect are just not normal.
"Ahem, Aotian, your three senior brothers and sister are just a bit... lively, you'll get used to it."
As expected of the master of a peak, facing such a situation, Dongfang Yu quickly recovered after a moment of surprise, stroked his white beard, and began to speak nonsense with a straight face.
"Ah, disciple understands, with such senior brothers and sister, daily cultivation life must be very enjoyable, right?" Lin Aotian also played along, immediately responding with a smile.
Just as Dongfang Yu, thinking this disciple was truly sensible, was about to speak again, a startled voice came from the bushes not far away.
"Ah! It's that perverted guy!"
……
……
Rewind time a little.
Despite the inexplicable fear in Ning Yunmiao's heart, she couldn't resist Xiao Lin's persistent pulling and was eventually dragged by him to Azure Sea Peak.
In principle, even fellow disciples need to state their purpose and have the gatekeeping disciple report before going up the mountain—Li Yuhuan didn't report when he went to Green Lotus Peak because Green Lotus Peak didn't have a gatekeeping disciple.
However, considering that a reason like "wanting to see the new disciple" was too deliberate and didn't fit a disciple's status, and adhering to the principle of not alerting the enemy, Xiao Lin decided not to have the gatekeeping disciple report and, after discussing with Ning Yunmiao, opted for a stealthy approach.
Although with his Core Formation Realm strength, it was difficult to bypass the Mountain Protection Array without alerting others, as the saying goes, where there's a will, there's a way, and a wise man always has a plan.
