Under One Person: Did Zuo Ruotong and I switch bodies?

In no time.

Knock knock knock!

A knock sounded at the door, and Zuo Ruotong quietly began to circulate her Qi.

Although it is now basically confirmed that everything is unrelated to this person, the matter is still strange and his situation is unknown, so we cannot be complacent.

He got up and opened the door. The person at the door was short, with white hair and wrinkled skin, large ears and a thick nose. Although he was not good-looking, he had a simple and natural air about him. It was Zhang Xilin.

"Your name is... Ming Chen, right?"

"I'm also from the village, I live at the east end of the village, you can call me Old Zhang..."

Zhang Xilin looked him over as he spoke, then seemed to sense something.

"You're in the industry, right?"

He got straight to the point.

At the same time, they stepped into the courtyard.

wow——

boom!

With a wave of his hand, golden light surged and closed the courtyard gate. Zhang Xilin stared at Zuo Ruotong: "The method you cultivate is very peculiar. I seem to have seen it before, it's somewhat like..."

Just now, he keenly sensed a trace of profound energy in the room. Now, upon closer inspection, he immediately detected the lingering innate aura. In his memory, there was only one method that required the use of innate energy for cultivation.

"Are you a member of the Lu family?"

He squinted.

In that instant, a murderous intent surged in Zhang Xilin's eyes. If this young man was indeed a member of the Lu family, it meant his whereabouts had been exposed. Even if the Lu family members were of better character than others, he couldn't gamble on it...

  

This concerns the safety and life of my grandson.

"The Lu family?"

Sensing the killing intent, Zuo Ruotong frowned. He could tell that the other party was judging his origins by the innate Qi he had cultivated, but he didn't understand why the other party would mention the Lu family, since there was only one family in the world that could cultivate with innate Qi...

That is Trinity.

Then he suddenly remembered that before his soul transmigrated to that time, he had indeed taken in a child from the Lu family to observe in the lower courtyard. That child... was named Lu Jin.

"Judging by his age, that child is almost ninety. Could he be the current leader of the Sanyi Sect?"

"wrong……"

Even if Lu Jin is the current head of the Sanyi Sect, Zhang Xilin should still refer to the "Sanyi Sect" instead of the "Lu Family".

"No, I am not a member of the Lu family."

"Since you can perceive the method of my cultivation, don't you know about the Three Ones?"

The next moment, Zuo Ruotong's eyes lit up, and his innate ability was activated. He carefully observed the other party, and as he had sensed with his spiritual sense, although the other party showed killing intent, it was not strong, so there was still room for maneuver.

The key lies in the relationship between the "Lu family" and "Sanyi".

"Trinity?"

This time, Zhang Xilin frowned, surprise appearing in his eyes: "Your teacher was a former member of the Trinity Sect?"

But then he thought about it again, and it was not impossible that many disciples had indeed left the sect and returned to their hometowns before the Sanyi Sect disbanded, no longer concerning themselves with the affairs of the martial world.

"once?"

Zuo Ruotong was even more puzzled. These two words were quite intriguing, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart. However, since it concerned life and death, he did not ask for details and simply nodded.

"That's right."

"My mentor was indeed a former member of the Trinity School, but he has long since passed away."

That's not entirely untrue.

"I see……"

Zhang Xilin gave him a deep look, observing the change in his aura, and confirmed that what he said was true, thus proving that he was indeed not a member of the Lu family.

After all, Lu Jin is still alive and well.

"Then why did you move in here?"

"He suspects I'm spying on him..."

Zuo Ruotong immediately understood. After a moment's thought, she calmly said, "After my master passed away, no one guided my cultivation anymore. So I traveled around seeking knowledge. When I passed through this place, I saw an extraordinary atmosphere and knew that there was a master here. So I decided to stay and see if I could become his disciple and ask for instruction."

The first part of his words was based on his past experiences. After his master passed away, his cultivation went awry, so he did not immediately take over as the head of the Sanyi Sect. Instead, he went on a journey for a while until his cultivation improved further and his injuries stabilized before returning to the mountain.

The latter half of this section is based on his research over the past two weeks, which led him to speculate on the reason why the body's owner lived here. He had traveled around learning various arts and, through his innate abilities, discovered that there were reclusive masters in this place. He wanted to find an opportunity to become their apprentice, so he temporarily stayed here and made his plans gradually.

"Extraordinary weather?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xilin immediately became suspicious. He thought he had hidden it very well, and for decades, his inner aura had never been revealed in the slightest...

How could a mere kid see through it?

"If you don't believe me, senior, you can observe my Qi channels. This is because of my innate special ability, which helps me observe the world and see the mysteries. It is incomparable to ordinary methods of observation."

As he spoke, he activated his superpower to its maximum, and his eyes suddenly flashed.

"Oh?"

Seeing the spiritual light in those eyes and sensing the profound mystery contained within, Zhang Xilin subconsciously circulated his Qi and began to use his self-created technique, causing his eyes to light up with golden light.

At the end of the technique lies the source of Qi. With a slight application of this method, one can analyze and dissect any observed technique, tracing its origin. He quickly confirmed that this was indeed an innate ability, and that he could indeed perceive the mysteries of heaven and earth, and it seemed to be more than that...

But you can't see anything more.

"To have observed the heavens and earth, to have comprehended their mysteries, and to have awakened such an extraordinary ability... truly a blessing for you."

Looking at the young man again, Zhang Xilin's eyes changed, and his killing intent subsided, because he saw something in him...

That is destiny!

The concept of "luck" is extremely mysterious. Cultivators all know of its existence, yet it is invisible and intangible. Only those with exceptional cultivation can glimpse a corner of it, but unless one is a person with extraordinary abilities, no one can control its changes.

Zhang Xilin was fortunate enough to have, though he had not yet reached the realm of heaven, he had comprehended a method that could reach heaven. Even though he could not grasp the power of destiny, he could truly sense its existence...

And make some articles about it.

"You said you want to become an apprentice?"

After a moment's hesitation, Zhang Xilin suddenly spoke: "If you are truly so willing, I can accept you, but on the condition that you submit to one of my restrictions to ensure that you will not reveal my information to the outside world."

"I have lived in seclusion for over fifty years, long since withdrawn from worldly affairs and unwilling to be disturbed by the outside world."

"A ban...?"

Zuo Ruotong felt a chill run down his spine, but it seemed he had no other choice. Judging from the killing intent he had shown earlier, if he didn't agree, the man would definitely make a move, and he couldn't handle that in his current state...

"Let's save ourselves first."

So he immediately nodded: "Since you are willing to take me in, that would be great."

His mind was also very clear. Now that he had transmigrated here and borrowed this body and identity, he was no longer the "Da Ying Immortal" but the fledgling Ming Chen.

There's nothing wrong with a junior becoming an apprentice; there's nothing to be conflicted about.

Upon hearing his agreement, Zhang Xilin's cold expression finally softened, revealing a faint smile: "Alright, come with me then..."

Those who are blessed with good fortune usually benefit those around them; doing good to them will surely bring benefits.

For the sake of my grandson's future.

He will make his own plans.
