My Master's Persona Has Completely Collapsed

Everyone knows that Wuchen Immortal Venerable of the Mingjian Sect is exactly as his name suggests: pure, unstained, and beyond the mundane world.

He is aloof, ascetic, and rarely smiles. His whole being radiates an unmistakable “stay away” aura. Like a flower atop a high peak, he inspires awe in everyone.

Yet one day, an accident caused a familiar voice to suddenly appear in everyone's minds.

The aloof Immortal Venerable sat expressionlessly on the high dais, looking down coldly at the crowd. But the words he spoke sounded like a live barrage of comments, and everyone struggled to keep their expressions from cracking.

Wuchen Immortal Venerable had clearly not moved his lips, yet everyone heard his voice. Was this... his inner thoughts?

The nonstop stream of snark in their minds was completely at odds with the Immortal Venerable's usual cool demeanor. Everyone listened with rapt attention even as they trembled with fear, until one day, their senior fellow disciple Ling Xiao emerged from seclusion in his cave after completing his cultivation.

Seated on the high dais, Wuchen Immortal Venerable accepted the tea his disciple presented. His spoken words of guidance were as precious as gold, but the things he said in his heart poured out like a surging river.

[That figure! That presence! He's simply too charming! He's totally my type!]

[No wonder he's one of my favorite protagonists from all those master-disciple novels I've read on Jinjiang!]

[Slurp, slurp! Bring on the wall-pinning and the steamy plot! I'm ready! Come on, pin me down! Ahahahaha!!!!]

Everyone's eyes filled with horror: Oh my god! Master, please stop! I'm scared... Your public image has completely fallen apart!

Ji Lingxiao, who had unintentionally heard his master's thoughts: Hm?
