Speculation, Approaching Great Marsh Mountain!

"Tiansuzi" -- This is a term from a popular novel that Lü Yuan read in his previous life, "Xuan Jian Xian Zu".

The ability represented by "Tiansuzi" is actually quite simple; in layman's terms, it's a beggar's version of the Spring Autumn Cicada, or a youthful version of the Death Rewind.

That is, by deducing and experiencing certain possibilities of the future, one can achieve a certain degree of foresight into the future.

However, the foreseen future is not absolute.

This was the answer that Punk Lü Yuan came up with after careful consideration, and Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan, of course, understood its meaning.

However, he wasn't so calm; instead, he seemed somewhat confused.

"Tiansuzi... How could you have such a thought? Isn't that a bit too extreme?"

"Besides, whether or not you actually have someone like 'Tiansuzi' is another matter entirely, isn't it?"

Punk Lü Yuan raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. "Analyzing a situation means considering the most extreme possibilities..."

"Make bold assumptions, verify them carefully."

"We cannot ignore even the slightest possibility."

"Just like our previous analysis suggested that you might have a predecessor who was a time traveler."

"Furthermore, 'Tiansuzi' is just a figure of speech; perhaps her abilities manifest in a different way, but I believe she can see the future to some extent in any case."

Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan remained silent for a while, but even after thinking about it, he still couldn't understand why Punk Lü Yuan was so confident about this guess.

He raised an eyebrow. "Did you find any corroborating evidence?"

Punk Lü Yuan shrugged. "The evidence is her attitude and eyes, and what she said to me—"

"Although I know this is a bit far-fetched, my intuition tells me she must be in a situation similar to 'Tiansuzi'."

"Otherwise, what I saw and heard before simply doesn't make sense."

At this point, Punk Lü Yuan added, "The fact that the Immortal Book didn't respond already indicates that there's definitely something wrong with it."

"Therefore, I think it's probably because she is 'Tiansuzi,' and in the future she sees, she and I have a significant connection..."

That's why those anomalies occurred.

After hearing his reasons, Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan, resting his chin on his hand, raised a question, "But you've overlooked one thing..."

"This line of thought does explain her behavior and is indeed more reasonable than the previous two theories."

"But why did you end up having such a significant interaction with her in the 'future' she envisioned?"

"So much so that she values you and pays so much attention to you now?"

Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan raised what he considered to be the most crucial, and also the most inexplicable, question in this hypothesis—

That explains why Punk Lü Yuan and Li Yelan had such a significant interaction.

Keep in mind that the current Punk Lü Yuan is protected by Immortal Book, even if Li Yelan really is "Tiansuzi".

And the estimated timeframe occurred recently...

She could not, and was even less likely to, deduce the existence of Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan, and her help to Punk Lü Yuan.

In other words, the Punk Lü Yuan in her deduced future did not have the help of the Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan.

So, based solely on the talent that Punk Lü Yuan has currently displayed, is it really possible for him to achieve such a level of deduction that makes Li Yelan treat him this way?

After all, although his current level of performance gives him a high probability of successfully transferring to a bachelor's program through the deduction process and entering the Upper City branch, he is still capable of achieving this goal.

But that's all.

This investment may ultimately bring Li Yelan considerable benefits, but it certainly wouldn't warrant her placing such importance on Punk Lü Yuan.

After all, she is Four-Dharma Great True Person!

Therefore, the claim of significant overlap is utterly absurd.

Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan believed that his idea was correct and without any flaws, and that it would be difficult for Punk Lü Yuan to refute it in a short period of time.

But he received a reply in no time.

"This..." Punk Lü Yuan didn't even think about it before giving Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan the answer.

He first countered with, "Why do you think it won't happen?"

"It's because you think that before I gained access to the Purple Mansion, or more accurately, before I brought her benefits from the associate-to-bachelor degree program, it was impossible for me to have an equal dialogue with her..."

"And after Purple Mansion, Two Divine Abilities, I'll be joining the Upper City branch, making it even less likely that I'll have any interaction with her other than an exchange of benefits, right?"

Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan was somewhat surprised. "Otherwise? Could there be some oversight in my thinking?"

Punk Lü Yuan calmly looked at Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan for a while, then sighed softly, feeling sorry for him.

It's as if they're wondering if the other person is a bit dim-witted.

He covered his face and apologized softly, "It's my fault. Not long ago, you asked me that question, so I subconsciously assumed you could understand why I had any dealings with her..."

"But I didn't consider that you've actually only met a handful of women in your life, let alone had those kinds of thoughts..."

Looking up at Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan's bewildered expression, Punk Lü Yuan smiled helplessly and explained to him:

Do you remember what you asked me not long ago?

Punk Lü Yuan frowned.

What questions were asked?

That's too many.

Fortunately, this time Punk Lü Yuan didn't keep him in suspense, making him search for a needle in a haystack, but instead spoke directly:

"You asked me about Lin Qi before, how come you don't realize that now?"

"Indeed, your analysis of the former is correct."

"In the process of deduction, before the Purple Mansion, Two Divine Abilities, it is indeed impossible for me to have an equal dialogue with them--"

But in the latter case, have you overlooked a crucial factor?

At this point, Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan finally understood what he meant. "You don't mean...?"

Punk Lü Yuan lowered his hand. "That's what I meant—from her one-sided perspective, it's indeed impossible for us to have any interaction other than an exchange of benefits."

"But I'm not dead—I'll actively seek her out, because I want to sleep with her!"

"It might sound harsh, but as long as my personality doesn't change based on her deductions..."

"Then this is what will happen, I can assure you."

Because that's just who I am—

Looking at the speechless Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan, Punk Lü Yuan continued:

"That's right, the reason I believe she pays so much attention to me, values me, understands me, and is so familiar with me is..."

"That's because she fell in love with me during the deduction process, that's why she's like this."

"As for whether I can actually do this, I suppose there's no need to elaborate further?"

Punk Lü Yuan shrugged. "Or do you not believe me?"

After hearing what he said, Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan's eye twitched slightly. "Do you know what you just said?"

"I only see someone fantasizing, it's hard to believe --"

However, despite saying that, Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan actually believed Punk Lü Yuan in his heart.

Whether in terms of the initial concept or the point he just made.

After all, the former can now be explained, while the latter, given Punk Lü Yuan's abilities, he might actually do it for CCB.

Punk Lü Yuan simply laughed off his stubbornness.

Although that's what they say, they're really telling the truth.

What else could Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan say?

He couldn't keep pretending to disbelieve forever, so after accepting it for a while, he brought up the topic again:

"So if what you're speculating is true, then her threat to you has not only completely disappeared—"

"It might even become your biggest asset in the early stages?"

Even now, Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan still found it hard to believe. "Isn't this going too smoothly and coincidentally?"

"Yes..."

"It's certainly too smooth and coincidental, just like you, isn't it?"

Punk Lü Yuan sighed softly, and after exchanging a glance, they both suddenly turned their gazes to the Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan Immortal Book beside them.

Staring at the Immortal Book, the Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan stopped arguing, because if the two of them were not mistaken, there was probably a powerful figure behind the Immortal Book.

"Well, if it is, that's for the best, then we'll have fewer Gu Lü. If it isn't, then it's alright..."

"However, you'd better find more evidence afterward to confirm this hypothesis."

"I'm going back to cultivate now."

Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan spoke softly, then prepared to get up and leave.

However, at the last moment, Punk Lü Yuan suddenly thought of something and promptly asked:

"Wait a minute... You already know my situation, so please tell me about yours too, and see if there's anything I can do to help."

"Help?" Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan chuckled, "That won't be necessary."

As for my situation...

As Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan's figure gradually disappeared, Punk Lü Yuan's pupils began to slowly dilate.

Because he heard Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan's reply at the end.

"I have arrived at Great Marsh Mountain-- "

He said, "First Realm of Embryonic Breathing, both body and mind Returning to the True original, simple self. Perhaps tomorrow you can step into the Qi Refinement."
