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

Night had fallen, and all was quiet.

It was as if everything was just Chu Yun's illusion.

Chu Yun withdrew her gaze and was about to close the door.

"The young lady is indeed quick-witted!" A voice rang out in the silence.

The sound was coming from under a large tree in the courtyard.

By the moonlight, Chu Yun looked up and saw a person walking out from under the tree—a tall, elegant man in a blue robe, with delicate features and a refined, poetic air.

If Xiao Qi'an is like warm, smooth jade, then the man before you is like autumn rain, giving you a cool, refreshing feeling.

Everyone in Saintly Healer Valley praises his noble character, skillful hands, and compassionate heart. Only Chu Yun knows the cold and gloomy nature beneath this seemingly benevolent doctor's facade.

The man walked slowly forward and stopped in front of Chu Yun's doorstep.

"Who are you?" Chu Yun's eyes turned several inches colder.

"I am Gu Huaizhi from the Sacred Physician Valley." The man bowed slightly, appearing to be very polite and respectful.

Chu Yun frowned and went straight to the point, "What is your relationship with Gu Silang?"

“He is my younger brother,” Gu Huaizhi replied.

“He has already gone back. If you go after him now, you can still catch up,” Chu Yun said, closing the door behind her.

"I did not come for him, but for the young lady."

The man's somewhat hurried voice made Chu Yun pause slightly as she closed the door, and her expression towards Gu Huaizhi became filled with deep suspicion and coldness.

Gu Huaizhi remained calm, a faint smile still on his face. Seeing that Chu Yun was not completely unmoved, he felt more confident and became even more composed, repeating, "I have come for you, Miss! If you do not mind, may I speak with you in person?"

"I'm not interested," Chu Yun said calmly, as her subordinates continued closing the door.

“If you weren’t interested, you wouldn’t have called me out!” Gu Huaizhi raised his voice. “Miss, I came here sincerely, so you don’t need to keep testing me.”

Chu Yun remained silent, staring intently at Gu Huaizhi. At first, Gu Huaizhi was able to meet her gaze calmly, but after a while, being stared at so intently by a woman made him a little uneasy. He looked away from Chu Yun, composed himself, and said, "Have you thought it through, Miss? May I come in?"

Chu Yun withdrew her gaze, turned around, and said as she walked towards the room, "Come in."

Gu Huaizhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, climbed the steps, and glimpsed Chu Yun's figure through the small crack in the door, his eyes flashing slightly.

He pushed open the door and saw Chu Yun sitting upright at the table. He quickened his pace, walked up to Chu Yun, and sat down calmly.

The two sat facing each other, their eyes fixed on one another, but neither spoke first, seemingly engaged in a silent contest.

He sat there for about fifteen minutes. As it grew darker, and thinking that there were people waiting for his news, Gu Huaizhi could no longer sit still and spoke first, “Miss Wen, although this is our first meeting, I have heard your name from Si Lang, Xiao Lin and Qi An. According to their descriptions, I know that you are not only extremely intelligent, but also highly skilled in martial arts and even quite knowledgeable in medicine. You are a rare talent.”

"Coming so late at night and saying so much, Young Master Gu, you wouldn't have come just to praise me, would you?" Chu Yun said calmly.

"You flatter me, young lady. These are my heartfelt words, and I did not mean to praise you. However, you are right, I have indeed come here late at night to discuss important matters with you," Gu Huaizhi said with a smile.

Gu Huaizhi was already exceptionally handsome, and this smile was captivating. In the dim candlelight, in the half-light, he exuded a unique charm.

Chu Yun remained unmoved, saying, "Speak quickly if you have something to say."

Gu Huaizhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said gently, "I come from the Valley of Holy Physicians and have studied medicine since childhood. I have been away from the valley for many years and have traveled far and wide. From the highest courts to the humblest of the common people, there are patients I have saved. Do you know what this means, young lady?"

Chu Yun replied, "This means that the world is vast, and no matter where you go, there will be people eager to repay your kindness. Young Master Gu, are you trying to tell me how extensive your network is and how many friends you have?"

Gu Huaizhi smiled faintly and did not answer. Even when he did speak, he did not respond to Chu Yun's words, but changed the subject. "Xiao Yue Manor is the number one sect in the martial arts world. It owns Xiao Yue City and has a great influence in the martial arts world. It has thousands of disciples, countless martial arts techniques, and manages more than a hundred shops. It is quite wealthy."

After saying that, Gu Huaizhi looked profound and quietly gazed at Chu Yun.

Chu Yun met his gaze. "What do these words of yours, Young Master Gu, have to do with me?"

“Of course there is a connection. Xiao Yue Manor has people and wealth, while I have connections. With the two combined, there should be nothing in the world that Qi An and I cannot accomplish. And these powers can be used by you as long as you wish.” Gu Huai said, his face full of arrogance and pride.

When this person, who is free from desires and wants, like a banished immortal, speaks these words, the indifference in his eyes vanishes completely, replaced by an unshakeable confidence and certainty.

He was confident that no one in the world could resist such a temptation, and was certain that Chu Yun would agree to his request.

Having lived for so many years, Gu Huaizhi's greatest skill was bewitching people's hearts. Even if he couldn't see through the woman in front of him for the time being, he was confident that he could understand people's hearts.

Every human being has flaws, and the pursuit of power and profit is innate. He didn't believe Wen Chuyun would be an exception!

Little did Gu Huaizhi know that the woman in front of him smiled slightly and looked at him with nothing but sarcasm.

"Young Master Gu is joking. What use would I have for such power? It can neither make me happy nor relieve my boredom."

Gu Huaizhi was stunned when he heard Chu Yun say this.

"However, I am not interested in power and influence, but I am very interested in you, young master."

Chu Yun's next words struck Gu Huaizhi like a thunderbolt.

While he was still in a daze, Chu Yun stood up, came to Gu Huaizhi's side, sat down on the table in front of him, put one hand on Gu Huaizhi's shoulder and stroked his eyebrows with the other, looking just like a lewd woman flirting with a respectable man.

The skin that she had touched burned. Gu Huaizhi looked at the woman in front of him, who was as beautiful as a delicate flower, and his eyes met her misty autumn waters. For a moment, he was in a daze.

No matter how shrewd he was, how much he could manipulate events, he had never been so close to a woman.

Because he had never experienced anything like it before, Gu Huaizhi was unusually confused and at a loss.

Or perhaps it was because the woman was so stunningly beautiful that he couldn't bear to push her away.

In short, Gu Huaizhi was in a state of utter confusion at this moment.

But the culprit who had caused him such distress suddenly turned cold and withdrew the hand from his shoulder.

The woman's cold voice rang in Gu Huaizhi's ears, "Young Master Gu, can Young Master Xiao really completely control Xiao Yue Manor? The pie in the sky you've painted for me is far too big. Since Young Master Gu has no sincerity, please leave. Let's not waste each other's time."

Chu Yun jumped off the table and left without looking back, leaving Gu Huaizhi standing there bewildered.

A sense of loss filled his chest, and Gu Huaizhi finally left in a disheveled state.

In the deep of night, someone exclaimed, "It's truly a ghost story!"
