'When faced with danger, a normal person's first instinct is to flee. Who would waste time on some mysterious fragments?'
Wen Qian couldn't understand it. Even if her mother had been an exceptionally calm person, there was no way she would have had the presence of mind to indulge in such pointless speculation at a time like that.
'That's not something a normal person would do.'
"Don't overthink it," Gu Mian said reassuringly, looking up at the girl's lovely face. 'Though he also found the whole thing outrageous, it was impossible for anyone to guess what she had been thinking back then.'
'Maybe she was just curious...'
'Or maybe she really did see something during that disaster.'
'In any case, there were too many possibilities.'
Once all the fragments were assembled, they formed a stone that was merely the size of her palm. Wen Qian couldn't help but question the stone's abilities.
'If this is the Taoist Sect of the Guardian Beast World, it's... a little too small.'
