Sect Master Tongtian had gradually grown accustomed to Lin Chuan's internal scheming.

After all, he would occasionally complain. Initially, it might have been infuriating, but Sect Master Tongtian decided that if the kid had so many opinions.

Then, he should be made to perform well.

If he didn't meet the satisfactory level, then he would truly experience what it felt like to be targeted!

"Hmph! Kid, since you like complaining so much, I'll let you have a good taste of what it's like to be targeted."

"There are still a few days left. If you don't finish the mission, you'll have a hard time."

"Want to be expelled?"

"Not a chance. I can add some burdens to you instead!"

Sect Master Tongtian was quite satisfied with this.

His thoughts even began to stir, and gradually, many ideas started to form.

At that moment, Lin Chuan shivered.

He looked around suspiciously.

"What the heck? Why did I just feel like someone was thinking about me again? No way?"

"Don't mess with me!!"

This premonition flashed by in an instant.

He didn't know if it was real or not, or if it was just his imagination.

But...

It's better to believe it exists than not!

He immediately greeted Duobao Tathagata and fled, preparing to return to the Jade Purity Palace.

No matter what, he had to maintain appearances.

However...

Just as he was leaving!

Zhao Gongming suddenly caught up.

"Senior Brother, wait for me!"

"Junior Brother also wants to cultivate with Senior Brother. May I join you?"

Zhao Gongming truly had this thought. Since Lin Chuan had gained such strength without anyone noticing, he must have a unique perspective, and he had already been acknowledged by their master.

He had become a personal disciple.

His skill level should be very high, and there was absolutely no possibility of him being a fraud.

Having already experienced Lin Chuan's formidable strength, he naturally wouldn't have any doubts now, and he even showed a hint of anticipation.

If they could truly cultivate together, even if he gained no benefits, just a little guidance.

Zhao Gongming believed his strength would improve significantly.

Therefore, his eyes revealed a trace of anticipation and longing.

Lin Chuan was taken aback.

He hadn't expected Zhao Gongming to want to cultivate with him at all. This was somewhat unexpected, and he knew himself best.

He had never actually cultivated; he had been slacking off the entire time, so there was no way he could teach anyone else.

He immediately hesitated.

However, his hesitation lasted only a second before he thought of a problem!

Especially, where was he cultivating?

The Jade Purity Palace!

That was where Sect Master Tongtian resided. If he privately allowed others to enter at this time, wouldn't it directly incur Sect Master Tongtian's displeasure?

And wouldn't he be guilty?

Then...

Getting expelled might actually be feasible.

His eyes suddenly brightened.

[Right, why didn't I think of that? If I privately bring someone into the Jade Purity Palace to cultivate, and if that old man Tongtian takes a dislike to me, he'll probably kick me out directly.]

[Then I can legitimately leave the Sect of Interception?]

[What a great idea! This is simply a brilliant idea!]

[I didn't expect this new junior brother to be useful in this way! Not bad, not bad!]

Lin Chuan immediately felt extremely happy and excited, as he himself had his own little schemes. If he were to teach others.

He didn't have the time for that.

At the same time, he didn't think he had the skill for it.

He had coasted through the entire process, and no matter what, he would absolutely never take it seriously.

Hmm~

The more he slacked off, the more likely he was to be expelled.

For now, he needed to stay away from this place of trouble.

The rest could be discussed later.

This was his current thought, and he also felt it made a lot of sense.

Only by truly disgusting that old scoundrel Tongtian would it be easier to leave later, wouldn't it?

Without waiting for a response, Lin Chuan directly nodded, "Okay, since you're so eager to learn, I think even Master's teachings would make him feel quite excited and happy."

"He personally promoted you to an inner sect disciple, and you'll have a much greater status then, completely different from before as an outer disciple."

"Your strength naturally needs to improve!"

"Cultivating with me might be a feasible plan, but my cultivation method is rather peculiar, and ordinary people can't replicate it."

Lin Chuan needed to set expectations for his actions, and besides, he didn't want others to misunderstand.

Even if he didn't care, if others misunderstood, it would inevitably lead to quite a bit of trouble.

Zhao Gongming quickly nodded. Even though there was still a trace of doubt in his heart, being able to cultivate with Lin Chuan was likely a very good opportunity.

After all, to go from an outer disciple to a personal disciple, and to possess such terrifying strength unknowingly...

This was definitely not an ordinary person!

Whether it could be replicated or not, he had to observe carefully.

Zhao Gongming didn't have any other distracting thoughts; he was more focused on motivating himself and pushing himself to a higher level.

His thoughts were pure and simple!

In contrast, Lin Chuan's mind was filled with his own little schemes.

However, he was unaware that the strategy he was devising in his mind had already fallen into Sect Master Tongtian's ears, word for word.

Sect Master Tongtian was so angry that he almost appeared in person.

After all, the Jade Purity Palace was his palace, and it wasn't easy for ordinary people to enter, not even Duobao Tathagata, his chief disciple.

Therefore...

It was quite solemn and serious.

Yet, Lin Chuan had brought someone in without his permission, and was even thinking of schemes to escape the Sect of Interception.

Damn it!

"This kid is too detestable. He didn't get my permission at all and is making decisions recklessly. And after all these decisions, he just wants to escape from here."

"No!"

"I absolutely won't let you succeed. Trying to slip away?"

"Then you'll just stay right here!"

Sect Master Tongtian did not reveal himself. After all, if he appeared now, wouldn't that mean he would be in a passive state?

Moreover, he didn't want to reveal that he could eavesdrop on thoughts. Otherwise, if that kid became wary, he wouldn't know what he was thinking anymore!

Reluctantly...

Sect Master Tongtian finally accepted it.
