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

"No one will save me. Many people want me dead. I used a secret, unparalleled method to defy fate, but I will eventually be punished by heaven. My time is running out," Chu Yun said.

Gu Huai was still thinking about how to save Chu Yun one moment, but his hope was extinguished the next. He couldn't believe it and said in astonishment, "How is this possible?"

He desperately hoped that Chu Yun was lying, but Chu Yun's expression clearly told him that everything was true.

He could only comfort Chu Yun, but he was comforting himself even more, saying, "No, maybe there's a way. My medical skills are pretty good, I can always think of a solution. If I can't, I still have my master and senior brothers, they can help you."

"Gu Huaizhi, it's no use. Medicine isn't a panacea. My problem can't be solved with a few doses of medicine. You know, death is the most insignificant thing. When I was seriously injured and waiting to die, feeling all the blood in my body slowly draining away, I felt no fear, only resentment. Resentment that my enemy wasn't dead, resentment that I couldn't take revenge. So I endured excruciating pain to fight for a sliver of life. For me, living isn't the most important thing; revenge is." By the end, Chu Yun's voice was so cold it was almost icy.

Although Gu Huaizhi knew that Chu Yun had ulterior motives for appearing at Xiao Yue Manor and that she had unresolved hatred, he never knew that Chu Yun's hatred was so deep, nor did he know that every step she took and every day she lived was leading her toward her imminent death.

It felt as if there was a piece of cotton stuck in his throat; he had a thousand words to say, but couldn't utter a single one.

I wanted to persuade her to let go of her hatred, but I had no right to do so.

I wanted to comfort her that there was still hope, but I knew it was all in vain.

He wanted to tell her about his admiration, but he knew that these feelings would only be a burden to her.

Finally, Gu Huaizhi could only say softly, "If you want revenge, I'll go with you. After we've taken our revenge, whatever you want to do, I'll let you have it."

The coldness in Chu Yun's eyes gradually diminished, and a smile bloomed on her lips. "Okay."

She suddenly stood up, half-squatted on the ground, leaned forward, hugged Gu Huaizhi, and whispered in his ear, "Gu Huaizhi, thank you."

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Gu Huaizhi's heart softened again and again. He placed his right hand on Chu Yun's hand and said, "A Yun, don't worry, I will never let you get hurt again."

He changed how he addressed her, a way that was too intimate, but she didn't correct him.

She acquiesced.

Realizing this, Gu Huaizhi felt as if he had received some kind of promise and hugged Chu Yun even tighter.

With the person he loves right in front of him, their relationship has made great progress. Gu Huaizhi just wants time to stand still at this moment, so that she doesn't have to bear hatred and he isn't tormented by nightmares. Just the two of them can stay together quietly.

The idea was wonderful, but reality rarely goes as planned.

Before long, the voices calling out the names of Chu Yun and Gu Huaizhi drifted over from afar, disturbing this rare moment of peace.

Someone came looking for them.

Whether they are friend or foe remains to be seen. Chu Yun released Gu Huaizhi and exchanged a glance with him, both seeing wariness in each other's eyes.

Even though Gu Huaizhi was unwilling, he had no choice but to release Chu Yun.

Chu Yun whispered, "Don't make a sound yet, it would be terrible if it were someone chasing us."

Gu Huaizhi nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Chu Yun lowered her head, reached to her waist, and pulled out a few silver needles and a few hidden weapons, handing them to Gu Huaizhi. "Take these things. In case the enemy comes, they can hold them off for a while."

Gu Huaizhi took the items, his expression unusually solemn.

"Stand up first," Chu Yun instructed. She slowly stood up, helped Gu Huaizhi up, and the two of them stood together against the pit wall.

The footsteps and shouts grew closer.

Although the people who came kept calling their names, it could not be ruled out that they were enemies in disguise. Chu Yun gripped the hidden weapon in her hand, ready to strike.

Soon, someone noticed the trap and peered out, calling out, "Young Master Gu, Miss Wen."

The newcomer was dressed in the distinctive attire of the Red Robe Workshop. Chu Yun's thrown weapon suddenly veered off course by half an inch, grazing the man's face. Startled, the man fell to the ground. Regaining his senses, he looked down, trembling, and saw Gu Huaizhi and Chu Yun standing at the bottom of the pit. He managed to say, "Help! We've found someone! Help!"

His voice attracted everyone's attention, and everyone rushed over to help, including Manager Li.

They threw out two ropes, and Chu Yun and Gu Huaizhi each grabbed one, slowly being pulled up.

The two quickly returned to Fukanglou. Although their wounds had received basic treatment, they still needed to be cleaned again. The doctor treated their injuries while Manager Li stood by and reported on the situation.

"After Miss Wen left with her men yesterday, there has been no news for a long time. So I took the liberty of borrowing men from the Red Robe Workshop in Lincheng to go into the mountains to search for the whereabouts of the young master and Miss Wen. The Chu Mountain Gate has long been deserted and the casualties are heavy, but it is hard to guarantee that there may be some who have escaped. The Red Robe Workshop is searching the whole city for the thieves."

The reason for leaving Manager Li behind was to let him take charge of the overall situation, and he did a good job. Gu Huaizhi nodded, "Very good, but since the Chu Shan Sect members were all wiped out yesterday, there is no need to conduct a city-wide search."

"Yes." Manager Li lowered his head, and then said, "The people that Miss Wen asked us to save have been saved, and none of them are in danger of losing their lives."

"Thank you," Chu Yun said calmly.

Those people were the ones who went with Chu Yun to rescue Gu Huaizhi yesterday. To avoid unnecessary casualties, Chu Yun used mountain traps to trap them when she led them through the dense forest. Although these people also spent the night at the bottom of the pit, at least they did not perish like the people Gu Huaizhi brought.

After replying, Manager Li withdrew, and the doctor quickly went to prescribe medicine, leaving only Chu Yun and Gu Huaizhi behind.

Gu Huaizhi looked at Chu Yun with a complicated expression. Yesterday, she appeared alone, and he thought that everyone she brought had been in trouble. He never expected that Chu Yun was the only one who risked her life to save him from beginning to end.

"Ah Yun, does your wound hurt?" he asked softly.

Although Chu Yun did not have any fatal wounds, she had many small cuts all over her body.

"It hurts, but I can bear it," Chu Yun said with a smile.

Gu Huaizhi forced a smile. "Ayun, thank you."

Chu Yun waved her hand, "I'll go back to my room to clean up first. I'm covered in blood and feel a bit uncomfortable."

"Okay." He lowered his eyes, concealing the sadness in them. He always felt that the two of them were not as close as they were at the bottom of the pit. Back on the surface, back at Fukang Building, there were so many people around them, no longer just him and her. The two of them had to think twice before doing anything. Just like he didn't want Chu Yun to leave, but he still had to give in.

"Ah Yun, I promised you, and that promise will never change." Gu Huaizhi suddenly spoke just as Chu Yun was about to step through the door.

She turned around, smiled gently, and said, "Okay."

This smile dispelled the melancholy that had risen in Gu Huaizhi's heart. No matter how the external circumstances changed, he firmly believed that the bond between the two of them, forged in hardship together, would not change.
