Gu Xijiu provided enough details to ensure that her story was clear and informative. She used a very plain tone with no decorative language to make sure her message was direct. However, it had created a wave of turmoil in Di Fuyi's heart.

The tea was getting colder, and the falling flowers outside the pavilion had covered the ground where they sat. The flowers fell on Gu Xijiu's robe, her hair, and even her feet.

Gu Xijiu revealed everything to him. It was as if a huge weight was lifted off her shoulders. Strangely, instead of feeling relieved, she also felt a bit of emptiness somewhere in her heart.

Di Fuyi was an excellent listener, though. He did not interrupt her once during her sharing. After listening to her, he asked her a few questions, and after she answered them, he turned and left.

"You have been looking for him all these years?"

"Yes, I have been looking for him for more than 200 years. Although I have forgotten him, I am still looking for him in my subconscious."

"And, the reason you have been looking for me is to complete your mission for his resurrection?"

"Yes!"

"Do you think I might be his reincarnation?"

"There is a possibility because you have a lot of things in common with him. For example, both of you like purple clothes, and your body size seems to be almost the same." In fact, their appearance was almost identical. However, Gu Xijiu did not say the last one. After all, it was her "sweet" dream.

Di Fuyi quietly listened to her about the commonalities. He had a short laugh, and there was a sense of teasing in his voice, "As far as I know, once the Lord from Lower Bound successfully ascends to the Upper Bound, they will be a celestial being in this world, and it will be recorded in a book. If they are unsuccessful, they will never be able to return, and there will be no reincarnation. Don't you think that it is just wishful thinking that I am his reincarnation?"

Gu XIjiu shook her head. "I am not sure; I did not say that you must be him…"

"So, this is the reason that you have been so ambiguous to me?"

Gu Xijiu did not answer, but she seemed to admit it from her expression.

"So… As of now, you are giving me the chance to train and see whether or not I am the reincarnation of Huang Tu? If you prove that I am him, then you will continue the relationship with me?"

Gu Xijiu could not deny, so she nodded.

Di Fuyi's fingers tapped on the table. He laughed for a long while and slowly said, "If I am not him, you will abandon me?"

Gu Xijiu struggled with this question. She took a deep breath and said, "If that happens, we will still be friends…"

"What makes you think that I will want to be your friend?"

Gu Xijiu was slightly stunned. "I can help you to reach the stage of a Mighty Immortal faster. After all, this is for your own good, isn't it? There is nothing bad for you…"

"I don't care about becoming a Mighty Immortal!" Di Fuyi interrupted her.

Gu Xijiu sighed. "If that is the case, I have no idea what to do."

"Just to be clear, if I am not Huang Tu, there will be no chance of us getting together?"

Gu Xijiu bit her dry lips before responding, "You can interpret it in this way."

Di Fuyi stared at her for a long while. He gripped his sleeves tightly. At this moment, he had a rather stern look on his face. Although Gu Xijiu did not find it pleasant, she did not find it appropriate for her to leave either.

The truth hurts, but a lie is worse. Gu Xijiu did not want to hurt him later on when his feelings had developed even further.
