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

In the darkness, lights suddenly lit up in many places in Xiaoyue Manor, and shadowy figures could be seen moving about.

The prestigious number one martial arts sect has been utterly humiliated by the fact that thieves broke in and seriously injured the guests who had just arrived at their manor.

"Qi An, today thieves attacked, and instead of investigating the case, you transferred all the evidence. What are you thinking?" Xiao Changfeng rushed into the hall, his angry voice sounding particularly abrupt in the quiet night. His hair was slightly disheveled, clearly indicating that he had just woken up from his sleep, received the news, and rushed over.

Xiao Qi'an sat in his wheelchair, his eyes full of respect. "Uncle, you misunderstand. I did this to preserve evidence and catch the thief as soon as possible. The injured guest is Huai Zhi's friend. As the young master of the manor, I have to give him an explanation, both morally and logically."

Xiao Changfeng snorted coldly, "You are not familiar with the affairs of the manor, yet you insist on taking on this task. If you do it poorly, you will become a laughing stock."

"Uncle, rest assured, Qi'an will do his utmost to prevent the thieves from disturbing the safety of the manor," Xiao Qi'an said gently.

"Alright, since you're so keen, I'll leave this matter to you. The manor is full of distinguished guests now, so you must find out who the thief is as soon as possible." Xiao Changfeng's originally gloomy expression suddenly softened considerably, and his voice was no longer as stern as before.

"Uncle, rest assured, Qi'an will not fail your trust."

Watching Xiao Changfeng leave, Xiao Qi'an composed himself and drove his wheelchair to wait outside the side room.

Inside the side room, basin after basin of bloody water was being brought out.

Gu Huaizhi was in a hurry to stop Chu Wenshu's bleeding, his forehead and face were covered in sweat.

After working for an unknown amount of time, the bleeding finally stopped, and Gu Huaizhi walked out of the side room, looking exhausted.

Upon seeing Gu Huaizhi's blood-stained hands, Xiao Qi'an's pupils constricted slightly. Their gazes met in mid-air, and without a word, Gu Huaizhi followed Xiao Qi'an into the secret room.

"How is Chu Wenshu?" Xiao Qi'an's voice was so deep it could drip water.

Gu Huaizhi's expression was grim. "His life has been saved for now, but we don't know when he will wake up."

“The people of Poison Heart Valley have always acted without restraint. If Chu Wenshu really dies at Xiao Yue Manor, the consequences will be unimaginable. Huaizhi, you must protect his life,” Xiao Qi’an said.

This is why, upon discovering Chu Wenshu's injury, Xiao Qi'an immediately collected all the evidence present and placed Chu Wenshu in his own courtyard. Chu Wenshu could not die! Nor could he be controlled by Xiao Changfeng.

"I know, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to him." Gu Huaizhi nodded, then asked, "Xiao Changfeng didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

“This is the first time I’ve interfered in the affairs of the manor. He wouldn’t be so unaware that he would so easily give in and hand this matter over to me to investigate. I’m afraid he’s trying to trip me up in secret and make me lose face in front of everyone. But I can’t worry about that. I absolutely cannot let Xiao Changfeng get involved in Chu Wenshu’s matter. Once he follows the clues and finds out that we have connections with Poison Heart Valley, I’m afraid the entire martial arts world will not agree to me taking over Xiao Yue Manor.” With each sentence Xiao Qi’an spoke, his expression became more and more unpleasant.

Who on earth caused him such a big trouble?

"The most urgent task is to find the thief's whereabouts. Do you have any leads?" Gu Huaizhi asked.

"The fact that the thief could injure Chu Wenshu so severely shows that the thief's martial arts skills are extremely high. The fact that she left behind a lot of poisoned needles and poisonous objects indicates that the thief is proficient in hidden weapons and can attract poisonous objects to use. Such a person is very likely from Poison Heart Valley," Xiao Qi'an analyzed.

Gu Huaizhi frowned, "Poison Heart Valley?"

“Poison Heart Valley is currently in turmoil. The Grand Elder is trying to wipe out the former Valley Master’s lineage, and it’s hard to guarantee that there won’t be any survivors. They might kill Chu Wenshu to vent their anger when he leaves the valley. But what’s strange is that these thieves can freely enter and leave my Xiao Yue Manor without being detected by the disciples on night duty. I’m worried that these thieves have already infiltrated Xiao Yue Manor and know its layout well. Such people cannot be allowed to live.” Xiao Qi’an explained point by point, his heart growing heavier with each word.

“This matter should not be underestimated. It seems we need to investigate all suspicious individuals within the manor one by one.” Gu Huaizhi was equally worried.

“I will keep an eye on this matter. You just need to do your best to save Chu Wenshu’s life, and leave the rest to me,” Xiao Qi’an said.

"it is good."

The tranquility of Xiaoyue Manor was completely shattered by Chu Wenshu's serious injury, while Xiao Changfeng on the other side was also full of calculations.

Inside the study, Xiao Jiuli stood to one side and asked, "Young Master detained that injured man in the courtyard today, clearly he has something to hide. Why did you let him go so easily, Master?"

Xiao Changfeng sneered, "Xiao Qi'an is nothing but an incompetent piece of trash. The manor is now full of heroes from all walks of life. He is unwilling to give up the position of manor lord and wants to make a name for himself in front of everyone. He's dreaming! If I suppress him with all my might, I will inevitably be cursed in the eyes of outsiders. He wants to make a name for himself, so I will give him this opportunity to see whether his bones are harder or my fists are harder."

Xiao Jiu flattered, "Your Excellency is wise."

"No matter what, the intruders have disturbed the peace of my Xiao family, so I can't just stand by and do nothing. Arrange for some people to help my good nephew, but make sure he doesn't get too cocky." Xiao Changfeng smiled coldly.

"Rest assured, sir, I will certainly do my best to 'assist' the young master."

“I hope he understands that the affairs of Xiaoyue Manor are not so easy to handle. As his uncle, I have been worrying about him for many years, and he should be grateful. Otherwise, with his abilities, Xiaoyue Manor would truly fail if it were handed over to him, and he would become a sinner of the Xiao family. I am doing all this to help him,” Xiao Changfeng said slowly.

“We all know that the Master is the one who truly cares about the Xiao family.”

I wonder if Master Xiao, if he heard these words from beyond the grave, would feel a chill in his heart.

As dawn broke, Xiao Qi'an realized that the most pressing issue at this moment might not be thoroughly investigating the thieves, nor was it Xiao Changfeng sending people to cause trouble, but rather his own health.

It was a suffocating feeling he had never experienced before. It felt as if hundreds of insects were crawling inside him, slowly gnawing at his flesh. Excruciating pain surged from the depths of his body, almost crushing him.

Xiao Qi'an lay prone on the bed, the veins on his arms bulging, and dark red patterns appeared on his exposed skin, dense and extremely terrifying.

He let out a painful roar, rolled uncontrollably on the bed, fell off the bed, and hit his head so hard that blood flowed freely.

His hair was disheveled as he collapsed to the ground, bloodstains seeping through his snow-white nightgown. The servant who had come in to check on him, seeing this, was so frightened that he scrambled out, shouting, "Help! Help! Something's happened to the young master!"

Gu Huaizhi took care of Chu Wenshu all night and casually nestled on the low couch to rest. He had just closed his eyes and was not yet fully asleep when he was awakened by the servant's voice.

He endured his headache, listened to the servant's words, and without thinking much, threw off the covers and hastily put on his clothes.

The servant's cries continued, disturbing the others. A series of chaotic footsteps broke the tranquility of the courtyard, which was like boiling water that could not be stilled for a moment.

Out of the corner of his eye, Gu Huaizhi caught sight of Chu Wenshu lying on the bed, who might wake up at any moment. For the first time in his life, he felt that things were spiraling out of control and heading in an unknown and terrifying direction.
