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

But now, Xiao Qi'an doesn't want to kill Chu Yun.

For some reason, he wanted to keep her.

"Is Miss Wen's alliance with me related to your hatred?" Xiao Qi'an asked.

"Yes, I want to use the young master to punish the enemy, to make him wish he were dead," Chu Yun said coldly.

"Good, very good, Miss Wen, don't forget what you said, and don't forget your hatred." Xiao Qi'an smiled. You must be like me, forever remember that intense hatred, and forever stay in the darkness.

Chu Yun: "I will never forget that this is why I came here, and it is the meaning of my desperate struggle to survive."

Hearing this, Xiao Qi'an was even happier. He felt a kind of joy that he hadn't experienced in a long time, a morbid feeling that he couldn't resist.

It seemed that at this moment, he was no longer alone.

"Miss Wen, it's late, you should go back."

"it is good."

*

The next morning, Chu Yun finished washing up and opened the door. A chill hit her face, and the cold wind stung her like a knife.

Everything in front of me was white; it had snowed, and the snowflakes decorated the entire courtyard, bringing with them a chill.

"Miss Wen!" Chu Yun was looking at the snow-covered ground when she suddenly heard someone calling her. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw two figures running towards her.

It was Xiao Lin and Gu Silang.

It was cold today, so the two of them were bundled up in thick coats, making them look more bulky than before. However, they moved very nimbly and arrived in front of Chu Yun in the blink of an eye, bringing with them a gust of cold wind.

Chu Yun asked in confusion, "Why are you here so early?"

“Yesterday, the disciples of the manor went hunting, and my brother got quite a few good things. It just so happens that it’s cold today, so we’re going to roast the game and eat it. We’ve come to invite Miss Wen to come along,” Xiao Lin explained.

Chu Yun pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Please wait a moment, I have something else to attend to."

After saying that, he turned and went back to his room.

Xiao Lin and Gu Silang waited for a while, and then Chu Yun came out, holding a snowball in her arms.

"What is this?" Gu Silang asked in surprise.

"I brought along the gift that the young master gave me yesterday, because I was worried she would be scared if she stayed in the room alone," Chu Yun replied.

"I knew it! I begged my brother for a long time yesterday, but he wouldn't give me this fox. He originally gave it to Miss Wen. But coincidentally, I was asking for it for Miss Wen in the first place. After all this, this little guy ended up in Miss Wen's hands. It's clear that it and Miss Wen are destined to be together," Xiao Lin said with a smile.

Chu Yun stroked the fox fur. "It's quite a coincidence."

The three of them chatted and laughed all the way to Xiao Qi'an's courtyard. Although it was mostly Xiao Lin and Gu Silang who did the talking, Chu Yun just nodded and said okay. At least the atmosphere was harmonious.

But this harmony came to an abrupt end when they saw a large group of people guarding the entrance to the courtyard.

Xiao Qi'an was recuperating from illness all year round, and there were hardly any servants in the courtyard, let alone so many people gathered at the gate.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Don't you know the young master needs to rest?" Xiao Lin was the first to rush forward, shouting angrily.

Upon seeing Xiao Lin, the group of people retreated. A masked man stepped forward and said, "Seventh Young Master, we are here to guard this place on the orders of the Master."

"Guards?" Xiao Lin sneered. "When did my brother's courtyard become yours to guard? Xiao Jiu, take your men and get lost, don't dirty my brother's place."

Xiao Jiu, the masked man, stared at Xiao Lin for a moment before slowly retreating. "Yes, Seventh Young Master is right."

That's what he said, but only he knows how resentful he really was.

Ignoring what he was thinking, Xiao Lin rushed straight into the courtyard. Gu Silang and Chu Yun exchanged a glance and followed him in.

The courtyard was covered with a thick layer of snow, making it impossible for anyone to stand, but the corridor was crowded with people, all dressed in the robes of Xiaoyue Manor disciples, standing upright.

These people were clearly brought by Xiao Changfeng.

Xiao Lin was so angry that his eyes turned red. Xiao Changfeng was putting on too much airs and was even showing off his power to his older brother!

Unable to walk down the corridor, he plunged into the snowdrift and trudged towards the hall, his steps uneven.

Gu Silang and Chu Yun followed closely behind him.

Before even entering the hall, a man's voice, imposing and powerful, could be heard: "Qi'an, I heard that a few petty thieves broke into the courtyard yesterday, startling you. Your uncle has come to visit you today. Look, these are all gifts your uncle brought for you. Do you like them?"

Before Xiao Qi'an could answer, Xiao Lin had already rushed into the hall.

Xiao Lin's large eyes swept across the entire hall, which was filled with chests and boxes, their lids wide open, revealing their contents: fine furs, gemstones, jade...

So many treasures, it hurts to look at them.

These items were all goods from shops under Xiao Yue Manor, originally belonging to Xiao Qi'an. However, Xiao Changfeng seized them for himself and even dared to shamelessly present them as gifts to Xiao Qi'an.

Xiao Lin was so angry that his head ached. Without thinking twice, he said, "Uncle! My brother was attacked last night and should be resting. You brought such a large group of people, who are crowding around the door. I'm afraid it will not be good for my brother's recovery."

"Who do we have here, all rushing around without any manners? It's Ah Lin." Xiao Changfeng was a middle-aged man with a square face, thick eyebrows, and round eyes, exuding a certain authority. When he looked at Xiao Lin, he had a smile on his face, looking every bit like a kind elder. As for his understated words of belittling, to outsiders, they would only be taken as an elder's admonition to a good-for-nothing junior, expressing his disappointment.

“Seventh Young Master, the Master is only doing this for the young master's own good. It’s very impolite of you to speak like that,” said an old man with a white beard.

As soon as he spoke, the room was filled with voices echoing his sentiments.

"Hmph, a mere brat, yet he speaks so arrogantly."

"They say a tiger father begets no dog son. Back then, Brother Changyu was such a handsome man. How could he have such a son?"

......

It was only then that Xiao Lin noticed that Xiao Changfeng was not the only one sitting in the hall; there were also many familiar faces, mostly the heads of martial arts sects.

Every word they said reached Xiao Lin's ears, causing him to lose face completely. In particular, their mention of Xiao Lin's father made Xiao Lin's heart bleed.

He stared wide-eyed, his fists clenched, and when he saw Xiao Qi'an squinting and shaking his head slightly at him, he finally regained some composure.

"Uncle is right. I was just too worried about my brother and misspoke. Please forgive me, Uncle." Xiao Lin lowered his eyes and bowed his head to admit his mistake. Even if he was unwilling, he could only swallow his resentment.

Xiao Changfeng laughed loudly, "If you can admit your mistakes and correct them, you are still a good son of the Xiao family. But remember, you can't be so reckless next time."

Like any elder who cares about the younger generation, he gave earnest advice, seemingly all for Xiao Lin's good.

Xiao Lin forced a smile. "I've got it."

Xiao Changfeng shifted his attention away from Xiao Lin and turned to Xiao Qi'an, saying, "Qi'an, you've been frightened. Your uncle specially consulted a doctor to prescribe some tonics for you. They've already been decocted and brought here. You must drink them while they're hot so your uncle can feel at ease."

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone came in carrying a bowl of medicine.

The bitter taste of the medicine went straight into people's noses.
