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

"Alright, Huaizhi, you don't need to be too nervous," Xiao Qi'an said calmly.

Gu Huaizhi shook his head, "Everything is ready, except for the final push. At this crucial moment, we can't afford any mistakes. Don't trust her too much!"

"Understood," Xiao Qi'an replied.

"How did she know about the bone-corroding poison? Did you manage to find out?" Gu Huaizhi asked the question that concerned him most.

Mentioning this, Xiao Qi'an's expression darkened slightly, "She doesn't know about the bone-corroding poison."

"What do you mean?" Gu Huaizhi asked, puzzled.

“She claimed that when she reminded me that day, she only noticed that the medicine was not right, and did not know that it was poisonous,” Xiao Qi’an explained.

Gu Huaizhi: "Do you believe her story?"

Xiao Qi'an shook his head. "I trust my own eyes. When she said those things, her expression didn't seem to be faking it. Besides, you said it yourself, the Bone-Corroding Poison is colorless and odorless, making it difficult for others to detect. Back then, even so many divine doctors in the Holy Medicine Valley didn't know what the Bone-Corroding Poison was. Apart from the person who refined it, only you, someone who has come into contact with poisons because of me, could barely recognize its existence. Furthermore, the Bone-Corroding Poison has been around for at least twenty years. How could a teenage girl like her know about it?"

Gu Huaizhi was still uneasy. "Even so, she can't be completely absolved of suspicion. What if she finds out who's behind the poison?"

Xiao Qi'an pondered for a moment, "What you said makes sense, but the poison is definitely related to Xiao Changfeng. If we want to find the person who concocted the poison and harmed me so deeply, we should start with Xiao Changfeng."

At this point, Xiao Qi'an's face turned cold and stern. When he learned that Xiao Changfeng had used the Bone-Corroding Technique to harm him, he was indeed filled with resentment.

But think about it carefully, this poison is extremely potent and harmful, and he wouldn't want to let the person who made it go!

Moreover, this bone-corroding poison seemed to be tailor-made for him, harming no one else but him. This made Xiao Qi'an suspect that the person who concocted the poison did so intentionally, knowing that Xiao Changfeng wanted to harm him, yet aiding and abetting the evildoer.

He not only wanted Xiao Changfeng to pay the price, but also wanted the person behind the poison to pay a heavy price.

Gu Huaizhi's eyes darkened slightly. "Xiao Changfeng is naturally the top priority, but we can't be careless with Wen Chuyun either. Hand her over to me, and I will keep a close watch on her for you."

"Thank you." Xiao Qi'an smiled, his expression warm.

Gu Huaizhi: "We're brothers, no need to thank me."

“Qi’an, twenty years have passed. Perhaps the person who concocted the poison has been killed by Xiao Changfeng, or is already dead. With the Blood Gu, you no longer need him to detoxify you. Are you so determined to find him?” Gu Huaizhi said casually.

Xiao Qi'an's expression suddenly darkened, and for the first time, he looked at Gu Huaizhi with icy eyes.

Gu Huaizhi's expression remained unchanged, as if he truly had no intention of mentioning it.

No one saw his hand, hidden in his sleeve, clench tightly.

"Huaizhi, you should know how much I hate! Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, thinking of my parents dying tragically before my eyes, and how I was powerless to do anything about it; thinking of how I, as a descendant of the Xiao family, am unable to practice swordsmanship and can only be a useless person, I wish I could tear all the people who harmed me to pieces! Even if the person who concocted the poison is dead, I will dig up his body and leave him to rot in the wilderness, to die a horrible death!" When he mentioned these things, Xiao Qi'an was like a different person, his eyes were full of ruthlessness, his eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his neck bulged.

I know you hate it, which is why I dare not let you know the truth.

Gu Huaizhi suppressed the bitterness in his heart, "I'm sorry, Qi An, I shouldn't have said these things."

"You should go back first," Xiao Qi'an said, forcing himself to suppress his pain.

Gu Huaizhi was preoccupied with his own thoughts. Although he was worried about Xiao Qi'an, he still nodded and said, "Okay, you should get some rest."

After Gu Huaizhi left, Xiao Qi'an's expression suddenly turned ugly. He was still immersed in pain. The pain that he had been suppressing in his heart was spilled out by Gu Huaizhi's words, flowing through his body and ravaging his internal organs.

But he had to suppress his pain in front of Gu Huaizhi, pretending to be nonchalant, and persuade Gu Huaizhi to leave.

With no one else around, Xiao Qi'an no longer held back. With a wave of his long arm, he swept all the teacups off the table. At this moment, he shed all his usual pretense and tore away his gentle and refined exterior, leaving only resentment, unwillingness, and pain.

These negative emotions transformed into a terrifying aura, gradually engulfing Xiao Qi'an.

Not content with simply knocking over the teacup, he pounded his numb legs with all his might, acting as if he were insane.

It's hard to imagine that just a stick of incense's time ago, that gentle and refined gentleman with a faint smile would have turned into such a terrifying sight.

Perhaps this is his true nature; the pain suppressed to the extreme only needs a small outlet to break down completely, just like even the strongest dam will eventually collapse under the relentless onslaught of floodwaters.

Xiao Qi'an has been suppressing his feelings for too long!

His madness was always predictable.

He knew he should stay calm. After enduring so much, how could he easily drop the pretense?

But he couldn't help it! He had suffered injustice for a full twenty years, not twenty days or twenty hours, but nearly a third of his life!

Anyway, all the servants in the courtyard have been drugged and won't wake up for a while, so what if he goes crazy?

Just as Xiao Qi'an was going crazy, he suddenly heard the sound of something falling in the distance.

His pounding motion suddenly stopped. He slowly raised his head and saw the person who had come. He seemed to be frozen in place, stunned.

In sight, the girl in red stood outside the hall, her face expressionless, while the snow-white fox was huddled beside a pillar; the sound of it landing was its doing.

Xiao Qi'an's mind went blank at that moment.

He stared blankly as Chu Yun slowly walked towards him. After realizing what was happening, he raised his voice and shouted, "Get out!"

His tone was not as gentle as usual; it carried a desperate sharpness and a deep-seated fear.

He was afraid of being seen in this state.

But Chu Yun did not listen to him and still walked towards him resolutely.

A murderous glint flashed in Xiao Qi'an's eyes. He spoke again, his voice like a wild beast's roar, "Get out! Or I'll kill you!"

His pain, his vulnerability, his fragility—everything he wanted to bury deep inside and never show to anyone—was now exposed to Chu Yun.

This was unacceptable to Xiao Qi'an.

He moved his fingers and pressed the mechanism on the wheelchair. Just as he was about to press the mechanism, Chu Yun finally stopped, only a few steps away from Xiao Qi'an.

This action calmed Xiao Qi'an down a bit. He lowered his eyes, not looking at Chu Yun, and said coldly, "Get out!"

He didn't loosen his grip on the mechanism; if Chu Yun dared to take another step forward, he would definitely kill her!

Chu Yun remained unfazed, and with a flick of her sleeve, she subtly extinguished all the lit lights.

The hall suddenly darkened, becoming pitch black.

In the darkness, Xiao Qi'an heard Chu Yun's voice.

"Now you don't have to worry about me seeing you."
