Chapter 1571: Chapter 1571 Identical

Gu Fan stood there dazed for a while before he came back to his senses, quickly turning around and gesturing with his hands: "Wait, wait, give me a moment to process this."

The masked woman explained urgently: "Dad, I know this is sudden, but please believe me, I am..."

"I know, you are my biological daughter who has traveled here from the future." Gu Fan began to accept the fact, but his thoughts were still a bit scattered. He originally assumed the masked woman was Gu Ling from the future, only to realize it was his future daughter, Gu Xiaojin.

This time it was Gu Xiaojin who was stunned for a moment. She thought it would take a long while to convince Gu Fan of their father-daughter relationship, but he accepted it quite quickly.

Gu Xiaojin was a bit skeptical, so she asked again: "Dad, do you really believe me? Don’t you want to ask me something to verify it?"

"Well?" Gu Fan wasn’t sure how to explain. It seemed that the father-daughter recognition was a bit too casual.

"Forget it, let’s just leave it as it is." Gu Fan didn’t want to complicate things. After all, he couldn’t just say that he believed she was his daughter from the future because she looked like his girlfriend Lin Xi.

"This..." Gu Xiaojin felt that her dad from this era seemed a bit unreliable.

Now focusing on what mattered, Gu Fan began to inquire: "Can you tell me, for you to come here from the future, exactly what it is you want to do? I remember last time you desperately tried to stop me from joining the battle, and I want to know why?"

To which Gu Xiaojin responded: "Originally, we intended to stop this battle, to ensure that Organization X continued to exist, so that the vampires would continue to obey Organization X, causing trouble, and you would continue to oppose Organization X. But in the end, Xue Wang was still killed and Organization X was destroyed, and the vampires started to join Helen, which effectively meant they became under your command."

Hearing this, Gu Fan was confused: "Isn’t that a good thing? I set rules for the vampires, making them mend their ways. Now there are far fewer vampire attacks on people, and some of the vampires have even consumed my blood and have turned back into ordinary humans."

Gu Xiaojin sighed softly: "As it stands, if you remain a good person, you can indeed restrain the vampires. But if you..."

"What do you mean, am I in the future..." Gu Fan vaguely guessed something.

Gu Xiaojin nodded, with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Dad, the future you isn’t necessarily a bad person, but you are indeed not that great. Under your command, vampires do follow the rules, but in other respects, you’ve gone too far."

"Is that so." Gu Fan furrowed his brows, seemingly distressed. He didn’t believe he could become like that, but seeing Lin Xi die at the hands of his future self, as well as facing his own daughter now, Gu Fan had no choice but to believe it.

Gu Fan changed the subject: "So you wanted to stop me from joining the battle to prevent the downfall of Organization X?"

Gu Xiaojin shook her head with a helpless look, then answered: "If you hadn’t joined the battle, then you wouldn’t have neglected to save Irina and the hunters, and Uncle Lin Yue wouldn’t end up resenting you."

Now Gu Fan understood and couldn’t help but sigh: "You came here to change the past to influence the future."

"Yes!" Gu Xiaojin laughed at herself: "I thought I could do it, but despite all my efforts, I still couldn’t prevent the past events from happening, and I almost gave up."

Gu Fan smiled, "Do you have another good idea in mind? That’s why you’ve come forward on your own initiative."

"I did think of a way, but it’s a bit complicated. I need your cooperation, especially your support, Dad," Gu Xiaojin spoke very earnestly.

Gu Fan also understood the gravity of the situation and readily agreed: "Alright, since my daughter has gone through all this trouble to come from the future to do so much for me, how could I refuse, how could I not support her? Besides, I likewise do not wish to become that detestable person."

"Really? Thank you, Dad!" Gu Xiaojin slowly approached Gu Fan, her arm slightly moving, her gaze shifting around, and her smile at the corner of her mouth was a bit awkward, as if feeling guilty like a thief.

"What’s wrong with you?" Seeing Gu Xiaojin like this, Gu Fan actually felt a bit uncomfortable, being called Dad by someone who looked exactly like Lin Xi.

Eventually, Gu Xiaojin stopped caring too much and lunged forward, hugging Gu Fan tightly, leaving him bewildered.

"Dad, I am so happy to see you," Gu Xiaojin whispered as she snuggled up against Gu Fan, as if searching for a long-lost feeling.

At that moment, when Gu Fan looked at Gu Xiaojin in his arms, he had an odd sensation, as if Lin Xi had come back, but he knew clearly that this was not Lin Xi, this was his daughter.

Forget it, whether it’s Lin Xi or my daughter, they are both people I love. Once Gu Fan figured this out, he stopped fretting over it. He smiled with affection showing in his eyes and gently brushed Gu Xiaojin’s hair, surprised to find that even the touch was exactly the same.

Suddenly, Gu Fan vividly remembered, did his future self not know that after killing Lin Xi, she would be reincarnated as Gu Xiaojin?

"What exactly is going on here?" Gu Fan was currently baffled, always feeling that there was more to it. His future self didn’t kill Lin Xi out of heartlessness; there might be another reason behind it.

With so many people around Gu Fan, why did the masked man only kill Lin Xi and harm no one else?

"Dad, what’s wrong!" Seeing Gu Fan’s shocked expression, Gu Xiaojin thought he might have realized something dreadful and became somewhat worried.

Gu Fan glanced at his daughter, who seemed to be shrouded with secrets, and immediately questioned her: "My precious daughter, tell me, what happened in the future, and what role did you play there?"

Gu Xiaojin looked troubled: "Dad, it’s better you don’t know about future matters."

Gu Fan shared his thoughts: "My dear daughter, you are here with the purpose of changing the past to influence the future, so if you tell me what has already happened, I will be prepared and can avoid it. Last time, if you had just come to me and revealed your identity, I would have listened to your advice, not gone into battle, and then I wouldn’t have had to abandon Irina and the hunter to their fates, Lin Yue wouldn’t hold a grudge against me, and I might even have saved Xue Wang’s life. Isn’t that right?"

"That seems to make sense?" Gu Xiaojin always felt something was off, as if she was about to be swayed by the person before her.

"Right, you see it makes sense, so hurry up and tell me everything," Gu Fan said eagerly as if he was desperate to know more, which made Gu Xiaojin somewhat conflicted, since some matters, if revealed, are simply too shocking and distressing, fearing that Gu Fan might not be able to accept them.
