I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

“What a coincidence! I also feel like we’ve met before,” Xuanyuan Cheng replied with a smile and nodded in agreement.

The sympathetic or mocking smile Shu Honglan had anticipated did not appear on Xuanyuan Cheng’s face. She could tell that Xuanyuan Cheng’s expression was quite earnest, as if he truly felt that way.

Not only was he very thoughtful and kind, but his acting skills were also quite good too.

Shu Honglan was extremely touched, and her heart rate accelerated once again as she looked into his warm and gentle eyes.

Xuanyuan Cheng continued, “Ms. Honglan, do you remember what happened on the eighty-second level of the Immortal Spirit Tower in The United University of Cultivation?”

“The eighty-second level of the Immortal Spirit Tower?” Shu Honglan murmured as a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

Xuanyuan Cheng continued with an extremely earnest expression, “Shu Yu.”

Shu Honglan’s body shuddered slightly, and a dazed expression appeared on her face.

“What a familiar name… I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere, but why can’t I remember where?” She clasped her hands to her head with a painful expression.

Xuanyuan Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and pried her hands away from her head.

“Don’t think about it if you can’t remember. You are yourself. The reason why that name sounds familiar is perhaps that your previous life had something to do with Shu Yu,” Xuanyuan Cheng said in a warm, comforting voice.

Shu Honglan looked very much like Shu Yu.

This was also the reason why Xuanyuan Cheng felt like he had seen her somewhere before.

“Shu Yu has something to do with my past life?” Shu Honglan’s eyes gradually lit up, and she grabbed onto Xuanyuan Cheng’s hand with an excited expression. “Are you very familiar with Shu Yu? Was she your dao partner? Could it be that I’m the reincarnation of Shu Yu?”

“Er…” Xuanyuan Cheng didn’t know how to respond.

He hadn’t even verified the connection between Shu Honglan and Shu Yu, but Shu Honglan was already inventing a backstory for herself.

What was she thinking?!

Shu Honglan blushed before mustering up her courage. “Our love was cut short in my previous life. Do you… want to continue in this life?”

Xuanyuan Cheng was astonished. What in the actual hell was she thinking?

Dao partner? Love?

He had only helped give Shu Yu’s divine intent a release so that Shu Yu could enter the afterlife and be reincarnated!

“Um, it’s not quite like that, Ms. Honglan…”

Thus, Xuanyuan Cheng elaborated on the past events for Shu Honglan to hear.

Shu Honglan was a little disappointed after hearing this story, but the scorching light in her eyes only burned more brightly.

“Young Master Xuanyuan, you really are so kind and good. You saved me from the Immortal Spirit Tower and ended my days of eternal battle, granting me a second chance at freedom and happiness…”

Shu Honglan pursed her lips as her eyes rippled. “I was unable to repay you for what you have done in my past life, but it looks like I’ll have a chance to repay you in this life…”

Xuanyuan Cheng: “…”

Shu Honglan’s large, bright eyes were filled with nothing but Xuanyuan Cheng.

Xuanyuan Cheng knew that Shu Honglan was quite insecure, but at the same time, she was very brave. She was the one who had first struck up a conversation with him, and she was now clearly making advances toward him.

Perhaps Shu Yu’s experiences had given her the courage to make some decisions; decisions that she wouldn’t even have dared to contemplate in the past.

Shu Honglan stared at Xuanyuan Cheng with an earnest expression. “Young Master Xuanyuan, you’ve saved me this time as well. You have saved me twice already, so let me repay you in this life by becoming whatever you want me to be.”

“Er…” Xuanyuan Cheng was figuratively sweating a little from her scorching gaze.

Why was Shu Honglan so convinced that Shu Yu was who she had been in her past life? Even Xuanyuan Cheng himself was unable to verify this! She was clearly planning to make a move on him here!

Xuanyuan Cheng grumbled internally.

However, he did not feel averse to this. Instead, he was looking forward to how this would play out.

“Young Master Xuanyuan, do you not want me?” Tears welled up in Shu Honglan’s eyes as she hung her head again, completely devoid of the confidence belonging to the number one dancer in the Spirit Sword State. “Do you see me as just a lowly dancer with average cultivation aptitude?”

“No, that’s not it at all!” Xuanyuan Cheng immediately shook his head before inquiring with a smile, “Come to think of it, the Four Nine Immortal Sect is missing a dance instructor. Would you like to take on the role? We can discuss remuneration and conditions later.”

Shu Honglan’s mouth gaped open, and she stared blankly at Xuanyuan Cheng, as if she had been knocked senseless by a mace of happiness to the head.

A long time elapsed.

“Do you not want to?”

“I do! I do! I want to so much!”

She nodded incessantly as a wide smile appeared on her face. She rushed forward with excitement and enveloped Xuanyuan Cheng in a tight hug before withdrawing with an embarrassed blush.

Xuanyuan Cheng was a little stunned by her hug, and her pleasant scent lingered on his body.

Shu Honglan also felt like she had let her emotions get the better of herself. God knew why she had hugged Xuanyuan Cheng. It was definitely not because of his looks, but because of something else entirely. Perhaps it was the connection and fate they shared from her previous life?

Xuanyuan Cheng recalled back to a few decades ago in the Immortal Spirit Tower, where Shu Yu had said that she would definitely pursue Xuanyuan Cheng if she were still alive. It looked like that was indeed the case here.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Shu Honglan changed the subject. “Ah… the wind sure is strong today.”

Xuanyuan Cheng nodded. “Perhaps it’s because of the explosions we set off.”

Shu Honglan: “…”

“Big Sister Lan Lan!” a yell sounded from afar.

A woman in purple flew over atop a flying carpet along with a man and a woman as she waved with an elated expression. “I rescued your mother and father!”

“Tong Ling! Father! Mother!” Shu Honglan understood what had happened now. Xuanyuan Cheng was able to get here so quickly not just because of that missile, but also because Tong Ling had delivered the news to him in advance.

What followed was a touching reunion.

Shu Honglan decided to accompany Xuanyuan Cheng to the Four Nine Immortal Sect, and Tong Ling, who was extremely proficient in the way of music, also tagged along in a buy one get one free deal.

The number one male idol of the Four Nine Immortal Sect, Xuanyuan Cheng, suddenly brought back two exquisitely beautiful women from the Spirit Sword State, creating a massive stir in the sect and breaking the hearts of countless female disciples.

Even though Xuanyuan Cheng announced to everyone that he had brought them back to the sect due to their exceptional cultivation aptitudes, no one believed him. Shu Honglan’s reputation as the number one dancer in the entire Spirit Sword State was known to many disciples even in the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

Why would a woman voluntarily choose to come to their sect with Xuanyuan Cheng? There was definitely something going on here!

Thus, everyone began to gather information from all types of sources and finally discovered that Xuanyuan Cheng was a regular customer at the Red Leaf Theatre and often left tips for Shu Honglan there. The Four Nine Immortal Sect was in shock once again!

However, after that, Xuanyuan Cheng refused to say anything else no matter who asked him.

Xu Xiaolan was dying from curiosity and forced a recount out of Shu Honglan and Tong Ling’s mouths, and it was only because of this that she had a chance to reveal this secret to An Lin.

In two lives, Shu Yu had turned into Shu Honglan, and she had fallen in love with Xuanyuan Cheng in both of those lives.

In the next few decades, Shu Honglan seduced and pursued Xuanyuan Cheng with all her might.

It was always said that it was easier for a woman to pursue a man as opposed to the other way around.

However, this did not appear to be the case here.

Thus, the story came full circle with Xu Xiaolan recounting this story to An Lin.
