Chapter 2687: She Never Knew That She Was Pieced Together
Fan Qianshi was slightly taken aback by her remark. "Xijiu, you have been brainwashed by this version of the heavenly law. I really regret everything that has happened."
"What do you regret?"
"I should not have let you live your life in a commonplace. I should never have let you spend so much time with Di Fuyi. I should have taken you away the moment you were created." Fan Qianshi sighed.
Gu Xijiu slowly swirled the cup in her hand as she listened. "You could not take me with you, even if you wanted to."
After a slight pause, he continued, "Xijiu, you have always been very bright. However, you are mistaken this time. I could have easily taken you away, but I was not allowed to. When Di Fuyi murdered you, I only managed to collect two pieces of your fragmented soul. The rest of your soul was scattered in every possible corner of the world. In order for you to come back as a whole, I needed to collect all the pieces of your soul. I knew that it was going to be a long and difficult process. Ye Hongfeng possessed a piece of your soul. Gu Xijiu, the daughter of General Gu from Starry Crescent Land, had a piece of you. As for the rest, I already collected them all from many different places. These broken pieces had to be regrouped and placed in a cloned body. As Long Fan, I strived to transfer all the pieces of your soul into one body so that you could finally be revived as a whole."
Gu Xijiu did not know how to react to that. She never knew that she was pieced together in that way. If that were true, perhaps there was nothing that this man could not achieve, if he were willing to take the risk.
