[Zuo Yingchun's eyes revealed a hint of resentment.]
[It left you utterly bewildered.]
[What on earth was going on?]
[You had clearly stated you weren't a reincarnation of an immortal, so why wouldn't she believe you?]
[Was there no trust between fellow disciples?]
[You were about to speak out.]
[But looking at this exquisitely beautiful junior sister, you ultimately held back.]
[You could only ask curiously why she was so convinced that you were also a reincarnated immortal.]
[Zuo Yingchun told you that actually, she had this suspicion decades ago.]
[Back then, Zhuang Chengbi happened to encounter Zuo Yingchun and was amazed by her talent, thinking she was extraordinary.]
[He immediately wanted to take her as his disciple.]
[But Zuo Yingchun refused.]
[Because to her, having a master or not was completely unimportant.]
[As a reincarnated immortal, memories awakened. What she lacked the least were techniques and experiences.]
[With a top-notch experience, even starting over was essentially a fast-track.]
[So, Zuo Yingchun had no intention of taking a master.]
[But Zhuang Chengbi was a persistent person.]
[To attract Zuo Yingchun's attention, he immediately began to boast.]
[Claiming he had a useless disciple who knew nothing. Since joining his sect, this disciple could skyrocket in cultivation even while sleeping every day.]
[Upon hearing this, your feelings became quite complex.]
[No need to guess, the useless disciple Zhuang Chengbi referred to was you.]
[Hmm, what a hypocritical master! He praises your potential in public, but behind your back, he calls you a useless disciple.]
[However, it was precisely because of this that your achievements successfully piqued Zuo Yingchun's curiosity.]
[So she took Zhuang Chengbi as her master, and came to see you on the back mountain.]
[Through observation, Zuo Yingchun thought your talent was excellent, but not particularly stunning.]
[Sleeping for cultivation was clearly just a gimmick.]
[But after secretly observing you for nearly half a year, she discovered that you really did sleep heavily every day.]
[You didn't cultivate at all, yet your cultivation continued to improve.]
[This situation was very suspicious.]
[So, while cultivating, Zuo Yingchun began to consider how to test your identity.]
[Decades later, based on her memories, Zuo Yingchun wrote down the Profound Heart Sword technique.]
[This technique was a heaven-grade technique she accidentally acquired in her previous life.]
[It was bitterly difficult to comprehend.]
[Without the insight of an Ascension Realm cultivator, it was impossible to grasp.]
[Zuo Yingchun intentionally gave you the Profound Heart Sword technique to test whether you were a reincarnated immortal.]
[But to her disappointment, after receiving the technique, you only glanced through it once and then ignored it.]
[You were too busy sleeping, completely neglecting cultivation.]
[At that time, Zuo Yingchun thought you couldn't understand it either. So she gave up on her speculation.]
[Perhaps you weren't a reincarnated immortal after all.]
[But today…]
[Zuo Yingchun originally planned to go to the Floating Dragon Hall for revenge herself.]
[However, she saw that there wasn't a single survivor in the entire sect.]
[Judging from the wounds on these disciples and the damage to the sect's grand formation, it can be inferred that you were using the Profound Heart Sword.]
[Moreover, at least at the Great Achievement level.]
[It was from that moment on that Zuo Yingchun could confirm that you were indeed a reincarnated immortal.]
[Upon hearing this reasoning, you were at a loss for words.]
[For real, that Profound Heart Sword technique, you really didn't understand it.]
[But somehow, in your sleep, you managed to learn it automatically.]
[And in an extremely short time, you reached a state of Perfection.]
[Although it sounds full of loopholes, it's the truth.]
[You covered your face with one hand.]
[Deep down, you knew that if you told the truth, Zuo Yingchun wouldn't believe you.]
[And she would continue to ask questions.]
[So, to avoid further questioning, you nodded and admitted that you were a reincarnated immortal.]
[Seeing you admit it, Zuo Yingchun smiled faintly.]
[As expected, she guessed right. You were a reincarnated immortal. Otherwise, how could you break through without even facing a cultivation bottleneck?]
[You were very curious.]
[You asked Zuo Yingchun if reincarnated immortals also faced cultivation bottlenecks.]
[She explained that even as a reincarnated immortal, bottlenecks existed.]
[In her peak Nascent Soul Realm, she encountered a bottleneck. It lasted over a decade before she overcame it.]
[In contrast, while your early cultivation speed wasn't as fast as Zuo Yingchun's, you never faced a bottleneck.]
[So overall, you were not inferior to anyone.]
[From this, it can be deduced that in the Heavenly Realm, you were definitely a renowned immortal.]
[Upon hearing such praise, you instantly felt awkward.]
[From covering your face with one hand to covering it with both hands.]
[What does it mean to have no bottlenecks?]
[You never cultivated in the first place, so where did bottlenecks come from?]
[Through nearly a century of self-observation, you also discovered something truly miraculous.]
[As long as you didn't cultivate, your cultivation continued to increase.]
[Even if you received a technique and didn't practice, the technique would still automatically refine itself.]
[This was something that couldn't be explained.]
[For eight years of traveling outside, you weren't just observing this world, but also searching for an answer.]
[Why were you so unique?]
[Receiving a technique without practicing it, yet it automatically refines itself.]
[This phenomenon is utterly inexplicable.]
[Eventually, you grew tired of pondering it.]
[So, progressing through cultivation was just fine with you.]
[But this was your personal secret. You had no intention of telling Zuo Yingchun, since she wouldn't believe it anyway.]
[You couldn't be bothered to explain either.]
[You might as well go along with her wishes.]
[So you earnestly told Zuo Yingchun:]
[Junior sister, I am indeed a reincarnated immortal from the Heavenly Realm, but my memories haven't fully returned. There are things I'm still unclear about. I only remember my name in the Heavenly Realm, which was Li Dong.]
[Upon hearing this satisfactory answer, Zuo Yingchun smiled for the first time, not a cold smile.]
[Her smile was incredibly beautiful, causing you to momentarily lose focus.]
Looking at the dream-like Zuo Yingchun, Ye Yu's expression was complex.
Undeniably, Zuo Yingchun was indeed very beautiful.
But that smile seemed more like she had finally discovered the truth of the matter.
With such a penchant for deduction and analysis, was she preparing to become the Detective Dee of the Central Continent?
Sigh, she's hard to deal with.
[After Zuo Yingchun left the mountaintop contentedly, you couldn't help but sigh.]
[You ended up clumsily pretending to be a reincarnated immortal.]
[Hoping that Zuo Yingchun wouldn't be too disappointed when she eventually learned the truth.]
[You shook your head slightly, then prepared to descend the mountain.]
[However, at that moment, you suddenly noticed your master, Zhuang Chengbi, emerging from behind a large rock.]
[A knowing smile was on his face, the kind men understand well.]
