Mind Reader? I'd Rather Quit Being Senior Brother!
Chapter 7 – The child can be taught
To be honest, when Xiao Lin first heard the inner thoughts of the other three junior brothers and sisters, he was surprised, but as a transmigrator, he wasn't too shocked.
Having lived two lives, what haven't I seen?

But just now, after hearing the inner thoughts of his Fifth Junior Sister, Xiao Lin admitted he was truly shocked.
This is a scene I've never encountered before.

Her inner thoughts just now, could they really be taken literally? Hmm, probably not. There must be a deeper meaning, it must be...
[Not to mention, like going to the bathroom, if I still had a man's body, I could just pull down my pants, how convenient.]
...Hmm, seems like there's no deeper meaning.
Looking at Yu Qiaoxi's charming eyes, Xiao Lin suddenly didn't know how to face his Fifth Junior Sister.
Regret, just pure regret. Why did I bother listening to my Fifth Junior Sister's inner thoughts?
"Senior Brother?"
Snapping out of his thoughts about "body convenience," Yu Qiaoxi saw Xiao Lin looking at her, hesitating to speak, and called out in confusion.
"Uh, cough, sorry, I got a bit distracted." Xiao Lin shook his head lightly, telling himself to pretend he hadn't heard anything, then got to the "main topic," "Fifth Junior Sister, do you want to become the Senior Sister of Green Lotus Peak?"
"No."
"Thought so..."
Having been rejected three times today without hesitation, Xiao Lin chuckled and, recalling his Fifth Junior Sister's way of handling things, asked, "Can you tell me why?"
"Too many trivial matters, it's tiring." Yu Qiaoxi quickly answered, then looked at Xiao Lin, "Isn't that also why Senior Brother doesn't want to continue?"
Actually, thinking about it, whether or not he listened to his Fifth Junior Sister's inner thoughts didn't make much difference. After all, if he asked, she would usually answer... Well, not necessarily, like the fact that her inner soul wasn't originally female... Ugh, forget it! Don't think about it!
Quickly cutting off his thoughts, Xiao Lin didn't answer Yu Qiaoxi's question, but stood up from the "chair" and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave."
"Alright." Yu Qiaoxi took another sip from her cup.
Not expecting her to see him off, Xiao Lin was ready to leave immediately.
"Oh, by the way."
...But was stopped by Yu Qiaoxi.
"!"
Looking at Yu Qiaoxi who had put down her cup, Xiao Lin wondered if his Fifth Junior Sister was actually going to see him off? Or finally remembered to pour him a cup of tea?
"Senior Brother, I want to place a water-type magic treasure over there, do you have one?"
What was I expecting...
Xiao Lin rubbed his forehead and sighed, "So what exactly are you doing with all these magic treasures in this hut?"
When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
"I can only say, those who understand will understand." Yu Qiaoxi used Xiao Lin's earlier words as a response.
[Actually, it's just for refining elemental force and practicing those forbidden magic techniques, but even if I told Senior Brother, he wouldn't really understand.]
No, I think I get it...
Hearing the inner thoughts, Xiao Lin suddenly realized.
Elemental force? Magic? My Fifth Junior Sister transmigrated from a magical world?
With this premise, Xiao Lin instantly understood the reason for this hut's existence—he had always been a bit puzzled why, with a top-grade Spirit Gathering Array courtyard at the top of Green Lotus Peak, his Fifth Junior Sister insisted on building a thatched hut here and frequently asked him to bring various Five Elements magic treasures.
He used to think she was researching array formations, but now it seems...
It's for practicing magic? Tsk, how tempting, I really want to learn!
Before transmigrating, Xiao Lin had always wanted to fly freely on a broomstick and was eager to learn a few tricks from Yu Qiaoxi.
However, he naturally didn't voice this, instead taking out a water-blue pearl emitting spiritual energy from his storage magic treasure, "This Water Condensing Pearl should meet your needs."
"Thank you, Senior Brother, just place it over there, the fifteenth fence post from the left."
"You're welcome..."
Pulling a wry smile, Xiao Lin followed Yu Qiaoxi's instructions and placed the Water Condensing Pearl under the fifteenth fence post.
Although, according to the grading of Mortal, Spirit, Earth, Heaven, and Immortal, using this Spirit-grade magic treasure Water Condensing Pearl here is a bit wasteful, Xiao Lin couldn't find a lesser treasure on him, so he had no choice.
If he runs out of treasures, he can just ask his master for more...
Just as he finished placing the Water Condensing Pearl, Xiao Lin heard Yu Qiaoxi's inner thoughts again.
[Come to think of it, I've always been troubling Senior Brother...]
Xiao Lin: You know that, huh.
[But Senior Brother never refused me, he's really a good person.]
Xiao Lin: No need to friendzone me.
[But I can't keep accepting Senior Brother's help without giving anything in return.]
Xiao Lin: Good! Well said!
[How should I repay him? As a girl, I seem to look pretty good, in this situation, should I offer myself to him?]
Xiao Lin: Hmm, promising student... No, wait!
Standing up with a start, Xiao Lin quickly said to Yu Qiaoxi, "Fifth Junior Sister, I've placed it."
"Hmm? Oh, thank you, Senior Brother."
Yu Qiaoxi glanced at the Water Condensing Pearl under the bamboo fence, nodded lightly, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xiao Lin, her charming eyes glistening, "Senior Brother, ever since I joined the Flowing Cloud Sect, you've always taken care of me, I think..."
"Fifth Junior Sister, we're all fellow disciples, it's just a small favor, no need to mention it." Xiao Lin interrupted her before she could finish, then quickly turned to leave, "Since you have no intention of taking my position, I won't disturb you any longer, farewell!"
With that, Xiao Lin infused spiritual energy into his legs and dashed away swiftly.
"......"
Yu Qiaoxi blinked, but didn't chase after him with the intention of offering herself, instead turning to look at the Water Condensing Pearl just placed.
"&^*%&$$¥%." She softly uttered a phrase that seemed foreign to this world, then raised her small hand and gently beckoned.
The Water Condensing Pearl, which had been emitting a faint spiritual energy, immediately radiated a circle of strange light blue energy. This energy quickly detached from the pearl and came to Yu Qiaoxi's hand.
"Speaking of which, this world also has Five Elements techniques, but they're different from elemental force." Yu Qiaoxi held the light blue energy in her hand, and when she opened her palm again, a small light blue bead appeared in her palm, "Just one last parameter to confirm..."
With this in mind, Yu Qiaoxi stood up and walked into the hut to continue her calculations.
Meanwhile, Xiao Lin, who had just left Yu Qiaoxi's courtyard, was on his way to find his master.
