The records clearly stated that there were three women and one man.

The names all matched up, but… they didn’t specify who the male disciple was.

At this moment, Lin Mo felt an immense amount of pressure.

Each of these four individuals had graceful figures, flawless skin, and delicate, refined features. Their aura was elegant, and their beauty was on par with celestial fairies.

None of them had an Adam’s apple.

Was this some kind of hidden identity game? Were they playing Werewolf Among Us in the cultivation world?!

“Why are you staring at us like that?”

Feeling Lin Mo’s intense scrutiny, the four junior sisters became visibly uncomfortable.

Xie Zhi’an immediately stepped in front of Xie Zhiqu, shielding her like a protective older sister.

Meanwhile, Xia He was already mentally cursing him:

“Ugh, look at him! Acting like he’s never seen a woman before—how disgusting!”

Lin Mo coughed awkwardly. “Ahem.”

Still, from their reactions, he had noticed something unusual.

Among the four, only Qu Ruoyan remained completely calm the entire time.

Could it be… this was the hidden junior brother?!

Thinking this, Lin Mo’s gaze once again swept over Qu Ruoyan from head to toe.

Most shapely figure of the group? Check.
Most well-endowed? Check.
Hmm… The more suspicious, the more likely.

But this wasn’t the time to dig deeper.

In the end, these junior disciples had nothing to do with him.

Even if all of them turned out to be men, it had nothing to do with him.

His goal was simple—get the training expedition over with as soon as possible and cut ties.

After all, the more beautiful a woman, the more trouble she brings.

Lin Mo wasn’t about to invite disaster upon himself.

“Alright, since we’re all here, my first order is this—go back to your quarters and change into something simpler.”

Hearing this, Xia He immediately flared up, stepping forward angrily.

“You’re just our leading senior brother, not our parent! Why should you get to decide what we wear?”

Qu Ruoyan, on the other hand, tilted her head curiously. “Why do we need to change?”

Meanwhile, Xie Zhi’an and Xie Zhiqu remained silent.

Lin Mo’s gaze sharpened as he stared directly at Xia He and spoke slowly and firmly:

“I don’t care what you wear in your free time. But right now, I am leading this expedition. We are leaving the sect for training, not for you to go out and find a suitor.”

“Dressed like this, aren’t you just begging to be targeted?”

Then, he turned toward Qu Ruoyan and pointed at her.

“And you—how many times do I have to say this? Stop asking so many questions!”

“My job is not just to guide you in training but also to ensure your safety. I don’t want any unnecessary trouble.”

Qu Ruoyan’s eyes lit up in realization.

“Ohhh! So Senior Brother is thinking about our safety!”

Xia He clicked her tongue, muttering under her breath.

“Hah, all that talk… you’re just a coward who’s afraid of trouble.”

Lin Mo nodded in agreement. “I think Junior Sister Xia He has a point. Perhaps you’d like to find a braver senior brother to lead you?”

Xia He huffed. “You think I wouldn’t if I could? If other teams weren’t already full, I wouldn’t be stuck here with you!”

Her words were harsh, but the reality was that none of the other senior disciples wanted to take her in.

All the experienced leading disciples understood one golden rule:

“Beauty invites disaster.”

Now, this team was packed with four such beauties, and they all came from prestigious families.

If anything happened to them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lin Mo smirked. “Since you have no other choice, then follow my orders.”

He shot her a glance and closed his eyes, signaling the end of the discussion.

After some time, Qu Ruoyan, Xie Zhi’an, and Xie Zhiqu returned, dressed in plain training robes.

Meanwhile, Xia He…

She had changed outfits—but barely.

Her dress was indeed a bit more plain, but the embroidery and floral decorations remained as elaborate as ever.

Seeing Lin Mo staring at her, Xia He shrugged nonchalantly. “Don’t look at me like that. This is already the plainest dress I own.”

Lin Mo glanced at the four of them again.

Aside from Xia He, the other three had indeed changed into simple robes.

But even in plain clothing, their exquisite beauty was impossible to conceal.

In fact, their unembellished appearance only made them stand out even more.

Troublesome.

Forget it—he was too lazy to argue anymore.

“Wipe off the makeup too.”

Again, aside from Xia He, the other three obediently removed their makeup.

As expected—even without any cosmetics, their beauty remained flawless.

With that, Lin Mo dismissed his earlier suspicion that Qu Ruoyan was the hidden junior brother.

Why?

Because after changing, her robes were clearly too tight, outlining every curve in clear detail.

That figure was absolutely genuine—no tricks there.

Instead, Xia He was now his prime suspect.

She had been hiding behind layers of skirts, refused to remove makeup, and kept dodging direct scrutiny.

Was she actually the hidden junior brother?!

Seeing Lin Mo’s strange gaze, Xia He assumed it was about her dress.

“Don’t look at me like that. It’s not that I don’t want to change—I don’t have anything else to wear. Also, I don’t like wearing clothes that others have worn before. And besides, the sizes might not even fit me.”

Lin Mo smiled knowingly. “That’s fine. I have some.”

During his lottery pulls, he had won several men’s outfits.

And best of all—they could be resized.

Lin Mo casually retrieved a set of plain white robes from his storage ring (or so it appeared).

“This is brand new. You can try it.”

Xia He hesitated. “Even if it’s new, how could it possibly be my size?”

Lin Mo didn’t explain. “Just try it and see.”

Surprisingly, Xia He didn’t argue further and actually went to change.

At that moment, Qu Ruoyan fidgeted awkwardly before speaking up.

“Senior Brother… could you get me a set too?”

She pointed at her chest. “My robe is too tight. It’s uncomfortable to wear.”

Lin Mo’s eyes widened.

That heaving, that tight fabric straining against its limits…

Oh.

Oh no.

She was way too carefree!

No wonder she had no reaction earlier when he stared at her—this girl had zero sense of modesty!

The situation was becoming dangerously awkward, especially since it looked like her robe was on the verge of bursting open.

Lin Mo quickly customized a looser gray robe using the system.

“Here! Change! Immediately! don’t expose yourself!”

Qu Ruoyan blinked curiously, as if she wanted to ask what ‘exposure’ meant.

Lin Mo cut her off before she could even ask.

“Just go change! Now!”

Finally, Qu Ruoyan obediently left.

For some reason, Lin Mo felt exhausted.

They hadn’t even left the sect yet, and he already felt mentally drained.

At that moment, he noticed Xie Zhi’an and Xie Zhiqu staring at him.

“What are you two looking at?”

The twin sisters hesitated before speaking.

“Senior Brother… can you get us a set too?”

Lin Mo thought for a moment.

That wasn’t a bad idea.

Dressing these naturally stunning junior sisters as men might actually be the best solution.

And most importantly—

Maybe, just maybe, seeing them in men’s clothing would reveal the hidden junior brother!
