My Whole Class Isekai'd to a Xianxia? Good Thing I Can Do Mind-reading

Feng Fan observed the new disciples chatting excitedly among themselves. Now that he was in the Qi Gathering realm, he could sense their cultivation levels.

'I thought all new disciples came here without any prior cultivation experience, but I was wrong. While most of them haven't cultivated before, a few are already at the 1st stage of the Qi Gathering realm, and the strongest one has even reached the 3rd stage.'

The battles began, and as expected, the strongest participant emerged victorious—a man at the 3rd stage of the Qi Gathering realm, blessed with top-grade talent in Qi cultivation.

He radiated confidence, and Feng Fan noticed him frequently glancing in their direction—or more precisely, at the group of Earthlings.

"Congratulations, Bai Tao, on claiming first place," Elder Jiang announced with a smile. "I'm sure your future in the White Crow Sect will shine even brighter."

Bai Tao was the epitome of a classic young master. His long, sleek black hair, meticulously groomed to perfection, cascaded down his back, complementing an aura that radiated privilege and wealth.

He carried himself with an air of superiority, his chin perpetually tilted upward as if the entire world beneath him was too insignificant to merit his attention.

'This Bai Tao looks like he's begging for a beating,' thought Feng Fan.

Bai Tao cupped his hands respectfully and replied, "Thank you, Elder. I actually have a request, if you wouldn't mind."

"What is it?" Elder Jiang asked, a flicker of curiosity crossing his face.

Bai Tao's gaze shifted once again to the Earthlings. "I couldn't help but notice the beautiful lady with red hair," he began, his tone confident yet presumptuous. "She's the most radiant flower I've ever seen. Since she's also at the 3rd stage of the Qi Gathering realm, I believe we're a perfect match. I would like to formally request her hand for a date to celebrate my victory in front of all these witnesses."

'Damn it, this guy is way too full of himself,' Feng Fan thought, irritation bubbling inside him.

Xue Qiang, the red-haired girl in question, wore an annoyed expression but said nothing at first. Bai Tao, however, took it as encouragement.

Striding toward her, he extended his hand with a confident smile.

"What do you say, my fairy? Would you honor me with a date? With the prestige of the Bai family behind me, I promise to treat you like a queen."

Feng Fan had no idea who this Bai family was, but the way Bai Tao spoke made it clear they were influential. Elder Jiang, standing to the side, stifled a laugh, his expression suggesting: 'This kid is asking for trouble.'

Xue Qiang's lips curled into a mischievous smile as she glanced at Feng Fan. He immediately felt a chill.

'What is this girl up to? It can't be anything good!' he thought nervously.

Inside her mind, Xue Qiang plotted her revenge. 'This is for getting too close to Huang Xue, Fanfan.'

Feng Fan, with his ability to hear thoughts, heard every word loud and clear.

'This girl is too much!' he thought.

"I'm sorry," Xue Qiang replied sweetly, her voice tinged with feigned sorrow. "I already have someone I like. Unfortunately, he doesn't return my feelings, but I can't give my heart to anyone else."

Bai Tao's face twisted with disbelief and anger. "Impossible! Who would reject a fairy as stunning as you? Tell me who this boy is, and I'll teach him a lesson!"

Feng Fan sighed deeply, already anticipating the mess about to unfold.

'Qinqin, when we're back, I swear I'll spank you for this nonsense.'

Xue Qiang turned toward Feng Fan, her cheeks flushing with a fake blush. Bai Tao noticed instantly, his anger redirecting toward Feng Fan.

The young master stormed over and stopped directly in front of Feng Fan. "So you're the one she likes? A mere 1st-stage Qi Gathering cultivator? How laughable. I challenge you to a duel! The winner shall claim the lady's affection!"

Gong Long, who had been silently observing, smirked. He was delighted at the chance to see Feng Fan embarrassed in public.

Although Gong Long disliked seeing this man flirt with Xue Qiang, he didn't think Bai Tao stood a chance with her.

Gong Long wasn't self-conscious at all when it came to Xue Qiang. If he was, he would notice he also didn't stand a chance.

However, inside Bai Tao's mind, Feng Fan heard something completely unexpected: 'Ah, this whole show is so annoying. I don't even like women. That handsome blond over there, though… he's just my type.'

Feng Fan froze. His mental image of a typical arrogant young master shattered in an instant. 'Wait. Does this guy swing that way? What is happening here?!'

Suppressing a laugh, Feng Fan slowly rose from his seat and placed his left hand on Bai Tao's shoulder. He gave Bai Tao a strange look before speaking.

"Bro, it's the modern era. You don't need to hide your preferences anymore," he said, his voice laced with feigned sincerity. "Nobody here is going to judge you for, uh, wanting to pursue love in your own way. If you prefer to make love with your butt. Live your truth, man."

The entire arena fell silent for a moment before murmurs of confusion and stifled laughter broke out. Bai Tao's face turned crimson.@@novelbin@@

'What?! How does he know?!' Bai Tao's thoughts raced in panic.

"W-What nonsense are you spewing? Are you trying to humiliate me?!" he yelled, his voice trembling with both anger and embarrassment. "I challenge you to a duel!"

"And I refuse," Feng Fan replied nonchalantly, crossing his arms. "Go find yourself a pretty boy, alright? I'm not into men, so I can't help you with that."

'Damn it! This guy…!' Bai Tao fumed internally. 'He's not even handsome, yet he acts like I'd want him!'

Hearing this, Feng Fan's expression darkened as he thought,' What do you mean I'm not handsome?!'

Seeing the situation escalating, Elder Jiang stepped forward to diffuse the tension.

"Enough! There's no need to strain the relationship between fellow disciples," he said firmly, his gaze sweeping over both parties. "Today's event is concluded. New disciples, the menial disciples will guide you to your quarters. As for the disciples from Earth, you are dismissed and may return to your duties."

Bai Tao cast one final, sharp glance at Feng Fan before turning to Elder Jiang. With a respectful bow, he cupped his hands and replied, "This disciple understands."
