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

Hearing Gu Huaizhi say this, Chu Yun was finally relieved and stopped asking questions.

But then it was Gu Huaizhi's turn to ask her, "Are you so concerned about Qingshan Temple because you're worried about Mo Xing?"

Chu Yun did not deny it, "He saved me, of course I'm worried about him."

At this point, Gu Huaizhi fell silent for once, recalling the scene when he first arrived in Gucheng and saw Chu Yun. She was lying there lifelessly, her face pale and lifeless. If the doctor hadn't repeatedly assured him that Chu Yun was still alive, he would have even thought that Chu Yun had already passed away.

For the first time in his life, he felt his heart clench for a woman.

He suddenly realized that the anxiety he had felt during these past few days of traveling day and night stemmed from his desire to quickly ascertain whether the woman in front of him was safe.

But they clearly didn't know each other well. Was it just because she had seen him in a sorry state and saved him in the snow that he started to care about her?

Gu Huaizhi couldn't understand his own heart. His throat felt tight, and the medicine bowl in his hand suddenly felt burning hot. He placed the bowl on the bedside table and said calmly, "Miss Wen, I suddenly remembered that I have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave now."

His cold attitude made it seem as if he wasn't the one who had just insisted on personally feeding Chu Yun her medicine and urging her to take it.

This wasn't the first time his attitude had been so inconsistent. Chu Yun remained expressionless and didn't ask any further questions, casually saying, "Since you have something to do, go ahead and get busy."

Her nonchalant demeanor made Gu Huaizhi feel a lump in his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out.

Of all the people she's met since arriving at Xiaoyue Manor, she feels the most distant from him. Now, even Mo Xing, whom she's only known for a few days, is probably more important to her than him.

Gu Huaizhi's expression turned completely cold. He stood up, straightened his sleeves, and walked out on his own.

Chu Yun suddenly called out to him from behind, "Young Master Gu, wait a moment."

Gu Huaizhi stopped in his tracks, and although he didn't turn around, he pricked up his ears to listen to what Chu Yun would say next.

"This medicine is a bit bitter. Could you please have the waiter downstairs bring me some candied fruit?"

These unexpected words caught Gu Huaizhi off guard, leaving him speechless with mixed feelings. He could only nod in agreement, "Okay."

He didn't notice that Chu Yun's gaze was fixed on him from behind, with a strange amusement in her eyes.

Although Chu Yun's injury was fake, she went all out and actually began to recover. She ate tonics and snacks every day, and her days were quite leisurely.

The bloodshed outside won't reach her for now. Her only worry is that the little monk left only a letter and then left, which is really heartless.

Yunyun, Xiao Qi'an's men are also formidable. In just a few days, they have eliminated most of Xiao Changfeng's spies. Xiao Changfeng is now just a cornered beast fighting for survival, and is preparing to make a desperate gamble.

After Old Master Gu died, the Gu family was indeed thrown into chaos. Second Master Gu seized the opportunity to take power, and the Gu family was severely weakened and in dire need of rest. They will not be stirring up trouble in the martial arts world for the time being.

Mo Xing has already returned to Qingshan Temple and is recuperating there. Chu Wenshu has been poisoned by your Gu and is still unconscious. [Ban Jin is providing real-time updates on the situation outside from within the space.]

Chu Yun picked up a candied fruit and put it in her mouth. After hearing Ban Jin's words, she couldn't help but smile.

The fish are already in the net, now let her play with this black-hearted little fish, Gu Huaizhi, all by herself.

"Miss Wen, something terrible has happened." That night, Chu Yun had just taken her medicine and was about to rest when someone rushed in and knelt down on the ground.

This person is Manager Li of the Fukanglou Restaurant in Seoul.

Chu Yun frowned slightly and asked, "What happened? Why are you so panicked?"

Shopkeeper Li said tremblingly, "Miss Wen, something has happened to Young Master Gu! Today we went to besiege Chushan Gate, and everything was going smoothly, but Young Master Gu suddenly disappeared. Our people have searched every corner of Chushan Gate, but we still haven't found him. Please, Miss Wen, think of a way."

Gu Huaizhi and Xiao Qi'an not only planted spies in various sects, but also cultivated two forces: Fukanglou for intelligence gathering and Hongyifang for training assassins. The two complemented each other, one overt and one covert.

Over the years, the two of them have done a lot using these two forces. Logically speaking, the manager of Fukanglou in each city should also be considered to control a force and have a high status. However, they have to ask Chu Yun for help when they encounter problems, which is also thanks to Gu Huaizhi.

Chu Yun came from Xiao Yue Manor to work for Xiao Qi'an. She also held Gu Huai's token, so she should be able to keep the people of Fukanglou and Hongyifang in check. However, she was a new face after all, and Hancheng was far away in the western border. The emperor was far away and they didn't need her often. So these people weren't very afraid of Chu Yun. The fact that they left Chu Yun alone in the Hanbei Valley that day was a clear indication of their intentions.

Although they later rescued Chu Yun and Mo Xing through the dense forest, they had actually made a grave mistake. They had initially hoped that since Chu Yun was still alive, they would not be severely punished. However, when Gu Huaizhi arrived in Hancheng, he flew into a rage and immediately dismissed the original manager of Fukanglou and promoted Manager Li to the position.

Only then did everyone realize that Chu Yun was not someone to be trifled with, and that her status was no lower than theirs.

Now that Gu Huaizhi has disappeared, Chu Yun is the one in charge.

Having just taken office and learning from past mistakes, Manager Li dared not act rashly and thus returned to seek instructions.

"Gather all available personnel; I will go to him personally," Chu Yun said in a deep voice.

Manager Li hurriedly replied, "Yes."

After an incense stick had burned, Chu Yun led a group of people to Chu Shan Gate.

Chu Shan Men was a secret force established by Xiao Changfeng behind Old Master Gu's back, and he was never willing to use it easily. Although Gu Huaizhi knew that Xiao Changfeng had forces in Hancheng, he had not been able to lock onto any targets since he arrived. If Xiao Changfeng had not been forced into a corner and made a mistake that exposed the existence of Chu Shan Men, Gu Huaizhi would not have found Chu Shan Men's lair so quickly.

The fact that Chu Shan Sect could remain undetected for so many years shows that they are quite capable. On the surface, they are just an insignificant sect, but in reality, they have a powerful secret. The sect at the foot of the mountain is just a smokescreen, while their real stronghold is on the mountaintop, nestled against the mountain and surrounded by poisonous gas that is colorless and odorless.

Gu Huaizhi left half of his men to wipe out the fake sects at the foot of the mountain, while he led the other half to the top of the mountain. After passing through a forest filled with poisonous gas, they had just entered the Chu Shan Sect's lair when most of his men fell to the ground. By the time Gu Huaizhi realized he had fallen into a trap, it was too late.

Capturing Gu Huaizhi alone is not enough to reverse Xiao Changfeng's decline, but Gu Huaizhi has a special identity and a close relationship with Xiao Qi'an. He can be used for many things, such as luring someone into a trap or using him as a bargaining chip. In short, it is beneficial and harmless, so the people of Chushan Sect are determined to get Gu Huaizhi.

Gu Huaizhi had been fighting them for a long time and was exhausted. He collapsed to his knees, coughing violently.

"Gu Huaizhi, is it? I advise you to surrender obediently and stop struggling, otherwise I can't guarantee that you'll be spared." A sinister voice rang out, full of threat.
