Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

Now that we've reached the door, we can't leave; otherwise, we'll lose all face here.

Xiao Lin twitched the corner of his mouth, raised his voice, and solemnly called out again, "Miss Wen."

That voice was full of energy; unless one is deaf, one would definitely hear it.

Chu Yun finally deigned to look up at him.

Xiao Lin's smile deepened. "My name is Xiao Lin, and I have come to pay my respects to Miss Wen."

Xiao Lin was adept at climbing the social ladder. If Chu Yun gave him a look, he would dare to step into her room. With a smile in his eyes, he didn't hesitate and in the next moment, one foot had already crossed the threshold.

"go out."

The girl parted her red lips slightly, and the two words she uttered froze Xiao Lin in place, making it impossible for him to take another step.

With an unusual embarrassment on his face, even with his thick skin, Xiao Lin could no longer maintain his composure after being ignored and humiliated time and time again.

Xiao Lin silently withdrew the foot that had stepped forward, stood at the door, let out a long sigh, put on a smile again, and said to Chu Yun, "Miss Wen, I sincerely want to make friends with you, so why are you keeping me at arm's length?"

“I’m not here to make friends, please leave,” Chu Yun said.

Xiao Lin: "I understand. I imagine you've come to Xiao Yue Manor to improve your martial arts, so you must be determined to become an outer disciple. I am, in fact, a direct disciple of Xiao Yue Manor. If you wish to know anything about Xiao Yue Manor, I'd be happy to help. In that case, may I come in and have a seat?"

Chu Yun finally looked at him properly, her clear gaze falling on Xiao Lin as if she could see right through him.

I said, please go back.

Once again, I rejected them without any mercy.

Xiao Lin was almost laughing out of anger. In all his life, apart from his older brother, no one had ever made him suffer such humiliation.

His brother stabbed him, and he endured it.

What's wrong with Wen Chuyun?!

If soft tactics don't work, then hard tactics will. Today, he insisted on entering this room, and we had to have someone respectfully escort him out.

Xiao Lin had already suffered a humiliation at Xiao Qi'an's hands, and on a whim, he tried to win over Chu Yun. But when he got to Chu Yun, he suffered another humiliation, and he couldn't take it anymore.

“Miss Wen, I do have something important to discuss with you, please allow me to speak.” Xiao Lin said with a forced smile, “Do you know what kind of tree that is at the foot of the mountain?”

Caught off guard by his sudden remark, Chu Yun frowned slightly, staring intently at Xiao Lin. The coldness between her brows did not diminish her beauty in the slightest; on the contrary, it made her seem even more unapproachable.

Looking into those clear, cool, yet misty eyes, Xiao Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he casually looked away.

"I don't know," Chu Yun replied.

"It is now deep winter, and the mountains are even colder, with withered grass and trees. Why do you think that tree is so lush?"

This tree is called Changsheng (meaning "longevity"), which is evergreen and lush all year round. It is extremely rare and precious.

There are only two such trees in the world. One is planted at the foot of the mountain to guard my Xiaoyue Manor, and the other is in my brother's courtyard for him to enjoy. They are priceless and unparalleled in the world.

Today, without my permission, the young lady picked two of my leaves at the foot of the mountain. Was that inappropriate?

"You should know that my tree is very precious, even its fallen leaves are extremely valuable. You, young lady, have picked two of my leaves. I'm afraid this tree won't survive until today and will die. It will be necessary to spend a lot of money to maintain it. Although you didn't mean it, it's not right to not take responsibility for what you've done, is it?" Xiao Lin looked at Chu Yun with a smile.

With just two leaves, Xiao Lin's words sounded as if Chu Yun had cut the tree in half, clearly an unreasonable argument.

Chu Yun's expression darkened slightly. "What do you want?"

“Young lady, you’re so generous. It sounds like you’re willing to take responsibility. No problem, no problem. Let me calculate for you. These two leaves are worth at least two gold leaves,” Xiao Lin said.

As soon as he finished speaking, something pierced straight at him. Xiao Lin used his folding fan to block it, and the thing became firmly embedded in the fan.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be two golden leaves, gleaming brightly in the sunlight.

"Miss Wen, you're trying to get me killed." Xiao Lin raised an eyebrow.

"I've already compensated you, please leave." Chu Yun suddenly stood up and walked towards the bed, clearly not wanting to waste any more words with Xiao Lin.

"Girl, wait!"

Chu Yun paused slightly as she walked away, turning to look at Xiao Lin with a completely cold expression.

"Miss, I haven't finished speaking, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Xiao Lin said.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Chu Yun pressed.

"I only mentioned the cost of picking leaves, which is only part of the price. My tree is dying, and I need an expert to take care of it, which will cost money. The medicinal herbs used for its care will also cost money."

The tree is missing two leaves, which diminishes its majesty and diminishes the prestige of my Xiao Yue Manor. This loss cannot be measured in money.

With each word Xiao Lin spoke, Chu Yun's eyes grew colder.

The money for maintenance and the prestige were just excuses; Xiao Lin was deliberately making things difficult for them.

Chu Yun's chilling aura was so terrifying that Xiao Lin was somewhat unable to withstand it. He forced himself to continue, "Miss, I am not an unreasonable person. You can compensate me with 20,000 taels of gold."

Not an unreasonable person?

Chu Yun saw him as the most unreasonable and shameless person in the world.

"You're asking for death!" Chu Yun said angrily, casually taking off the silver pendant from her waist and throwing it at Xiao Lin.

This time, Xiao Lin seemed to have anticipated Chu Yun's temper. He moved a few steps to the side, barely avoiding the attack. The silver pendant fell to the ground with a thud.

Xiao Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing Chu Yun holding another pendant, ready to throw it, he felt a slight chill run down his spine.

"Please have mercy, young lady. I have other compensation options," Xiao Lin said loudly.

Chu Yun: "Speak quickly if you have something to say."

This meant they had relented, and seeing that there was something to talk about, Xiao Lin regained his composure.

“Miss, go out and ask around. My name, Xiao Lin, is well-known in the martial arts world. How could I possibly make things difficult for a weak woman like you? Logically speaking, you should compensate me with 20,000 taels of gold.” Seeing Chu Yun tighten her grip on the pendant again, Xiao Lin spoke faster. “But what can I do? I’m magnanimous. Miss, you only need to agree to one more condition, and you won’t have to pay the gold.”

"Tell me," Chu Yun said.

"It's actually very simple. The young lady unintentionally picked two leaves from my immortal tree, which truly hurt the tree's heart. All things have a spirit, and the young lady must also feel sorry for it. Why don't you take care of the immortal tree for me for a few days, get close to it, and soothe the tree's wounded heart?"

Xiao Lin's ability to spout nonsense is truly unparalleled. What he says is completely nonsensical, incoherent, and doesn't sound like something a normal person would say. It's just rambling, noisy, and annoying.

Chu Yun's patience was almost exhausted, and her gaze towards him was devoid of any warmth.
