【No CP + mind-reading + genius protagonist】PS: I wrote this on a whim, so just enjoy it and don't overthink it. Qing He, the female lord of Mingxin Sect, happened to come down from the mountain one day and rescued a little girl. The girl then clung to her, insisting she wanted to become her disciple. Qing He said that her senior brother, the sect leader, had already picked out a disciple for her: a rare single fire spirit root, one in ten thousand. Jin Zhao volunteered: I have a single fire spirit root too! Look at me, look at me! I won't let you down. ** Ever since the sect leader of Mingxin Sect discovered he could hear his junior grand-niece's thoughts, he kept running over to Wenling Peak. 【Why does Martial Uncle Sect Leader keep asking me about sect business? Could he be planning to train me to be the next sect leader?】 The sect leader, who was only trying to fish for information: “…” Bah, he'd only just become sect leader. How could he hand over the position so soon? Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his junior grand-niece's thoughts rang out again. 【I'm not going to be the last sect leader of a destroyed sect.】 And so everyone noticed that their sect leader was now managing the sect with even greater dedication. ** Inside the secret realm. 【I'm definitely not going to tell you all that I picked up a...】 Everyone scratched their heads, but her thoughts suddenly fell silent.
