However, he quickly reacted, his face sinking as he looked around. "Can all of you hear this voice?"

The crowd exchanged glances and nodded one after another.

Sect Master's brow furrowed tightly. "Who on earth is responsible? They can pull off large-scale sound transmission, and it even sounds like a little girl? The other voice is very strange. I've never heard it before."

At that moment, the voice rang out again.

System, I really don't understand. What are these immortals doing right now? How come they all ran off all of a sudden? Did enemies arrive? If so, I need to make a run for it right now. When immortals fight, mortals suffer. My puny little physique can't handle this at all.

This remark felt rather awkward.

Their earlier sudden dash, treating every blade of grass and tree as an enemy, did indeed look a bit bizarre.

The disciples down below also stopped moving, staring up at them with wide eyes and open mouths, looking both bewildered and terrified.

Although they didn't know what the immortals were up to, the immortals surely had their reasons.

The system's mechanical voice sounded somewhat cute.

No way. I scanned the area, and everything is very safe, not even a fierce spirit beast around.

However, Host, has that mind reading cheat of yours arrived yet? Didn't I light it up for you using points? Hurry up and see if you can hear the inner voices of the female lead and male leads. At least we need to scrape by until the grand finale.

Li Zi was a transmigrator.

She had transmigrated into a brainless harem Xianxia Novel.

In this world, everyone was a brainless romantic.

After the female lead Ran Zirou entered Spirit Sword Sect, she became the darling of everyone.

All senior brothers fell in love with her, tossing spiritual treasures and magical artifacts at her for cultivation, fighting among themselves for her sake, and even destroying their own immortal paths without hesitation.

From princes in the mortal world down to the Demon Venerable and Buddhist holy sons, all prostrated themselves before her pomegranate skirt.

As for her, Li Zi, she was the most mediocre, venomous female side-character in this drama.

Her plotline existed only in the early stages of the novel, and her sole purpose was to donate the Myriad Flower Divine Bone to Ran Zirou.

In the novel, Li Zi had abysmal cultivation talent, but she was dragged in by a crying Ran Zirou to become an ordinary outer sect disciple.

She was ostracized and cursed within the sect, her mindset gradually twisting out of jealousy toward Ran Zirou for receiving the affection of all men, prompting her to devise every possible scheme to make things difficult for Ran Zirou.

During a trial expedition, she succeeded in marrow cleansing and awakened the Myriad Flower Divine Bone, a top-tier cultivation root bone.

As a result, after returning to the sect, she was instigated against by Ran Zirou inciting the inner sect disciples, who brutally carved her root bone right out of her body, tossed her casually into Ten Thousand Beast Cave, and left her to be torn apart and devoured by spirit beasts.

Thinking of this outcome, Li Zi shuddered involuntarily.

She asked somewhat anxiously, There's no effect at all. I can't hear anyone's inner voice whatsoever. Is this gadget of yours broken?

The system's crackling current sounded a bit unstable. No way. Products from the system are never wrong. It's just that my hand shook just now, and I seemed to have clicked the wrong thing, but... it clearly shows that the mind reading technique has been applied.

Li Zi asked, What does this level restriction later on, Golden Core Stage and above, mean?

The system replied, No idea.

Li Zi said, How come you don't know anything?

The system answered, I'm newly appointed too, so I'm not very skilled at the job yet.

Hearing this, the various elders and powerhouses all felt slightly reassured.

So it was mind reading.

It was probably some rare spell.

Although they still didn't know who was making the sound, at least they could confirm that they were in no danger.

After all, a host and a system that couldn't even use a spell properly didn't seem very bright in the head and were not worth fearing.

These two blockheads had probably used the mind reading technique in reverse.

They could hear the two of them chatting.

Golden Core Stage and above?

The crowd sized each other up.

They understood.

It meant that cultivators at the Golden Core Stage and above could hear her inner voice.

Since they weren't enemies, they all returned to their respective positions.

Sect Master waved a large hand, signaling the disciples below to continue the matches.

The stern gazes of the elders swept across the entire arena, determined to find out who the girl was whose mind was chattering away incessantly.

Li Zi paced back and forth anxiously. Little Tong, I feel like I'm really done for. I can't stay in this Cultivation World for even another day. Why don't the two of us go to the imperial palace in the mortal world? You're a Gossip System, and as long as there's gossip to eat, you get energy and points. There must be tons of gossip in the imperial palace, and the two of us can live quite dashingly there. How about it?

The system had failed its task, and its mechanical voice sounded somewhat muffled.

That's fine, Host. We can go anywhere, but since we know the script in advance, perhaps we can save Spirit Sword Sect and become existences revered by all. The system still leans a bit toward immortal cultivation; after all, living longer means eating more gossip.

Oh, give me a break! With Ran Zirou around this place, the entire sect has to revolve around her. From elders and the sect master down to all the senior brothers, they fight tooth and nail just to share a night of spring breeze with her. If I stay here, won't I just end up as cannon fodder?

The various elders on the stage couldn't help themselves, exchanging a glance before quickly retracting their gazes.

Are they serious?

The few of them, old fellows who had lived for hundreds of years, fought over a woman?

Did they want their faces anymore?

Second Elder couldn't hold it in and immediately defended himself.

"As everyone knows, I already have someone I admire, and it's been over two hundred years. How could I do such a scoundrelly thing for a female disciple! This little wench is simply talking utter nonsense! Once this old man finds out who she is, I'll punish her severely!"

The next second.

He heard the system's voice coming through.

Host, speaking of a night of spring breeze, there's another piece of gossip in Spirit Sword Sect regarding Second Elder.

Li Zi stood on tiptoe to look toward the stage.

Which one is Second Elder? There's a bunch of old men over there.

The system said, It's the one with the gaudy red belt around his waist.

Second Elder's burly frame shook, his entire body stiffening.

Dozens of examining gazes fell upon him.

The crowd looked meaningfully at the red belt around his waist.

This scoundrelly wretch!

Why was it eating his gossip for no good reason?
