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

Gu Huaizhi led Chu Yun to the residence of the Sage of Medicine.

Before they even entered the room, an unidentified object was suddenly thrown out. Gu Huaizhi quickly stepped in front of Chu Yun to shield her, and the object landed right at Gu Huaizhi's feet. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a book scroll.

The next moment, a voice came from inside the room.

"You brat, you finally remembered to come see me!"

Gu Huaizhi turned around and smiled helplessly at Chu Yun. Chu Yun couldn't help but smile back, raising her eyebrows slightly as if asking a question silently.

"My uncle is just like that, please forgive him," he whispered in Chu Yun's ear.

"What are you dawdling about outside for? Do I have to invite you in?" The voice from inside the house rang out again.

Gu Huaizhi raised his voice, "They're here."

As soon as I entered the house, another unidentified object flew in.

Chu Yun and Gu Huaizhi dodged in unison, their gazes fixed on the direction from which the object had come. The true face of the Medical Sage came into view—in front of the desk, a middle-aged man with a short beard sat back in his chair, holding a scroll of books high in his hand, as if preparing to throw it.

He seemed to be frozen in place, not moving an inch, his small eyes wide open, staring intently at Chu Yun.

"Where did this little girl come from?"

It was precisely because of Chu Yun's sake that he did not throw out the third volume.

Gu Huaizhi bowed respectfully, "Uncle-Master, this is Miss Wen. I was able to escape danger thanks to Miss Wen's rescue in Hancheng."

After hearing this, the Sage of Medicine stroked his beard and looked down at Chu Yun with disdain, "I don't want to hear what this kid has to say, I want to hear what you have to say."

The physician's tone was somewhat stiff, as if he had some opinion about Chu Yun.

Gu Huaizhi called out softly, "Uncle-Master!" and then looked nervously at Chu Yun.

As a result, neither of them paid any attention to him. The Medical Sage continued to stare at Chu Yun with icy eyes, while Chu Yun looked back at the Medical Sage, not giving an inch.

Gu Huaizhi knew Chu Yun and his own martial uncle's personalities well, and was really afraid that the two of them would start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

He was poised to strike, waiting for the two to start fighting before stepping in to block them.

Unexpectedly, the medical sage suddenly burst into laughter, "This girl is quite nice, I like her."

Few people can remain composed and dignified under his gaze.

Gu Huaizhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yun raised an eyebrow and looked away. "Junior Wen Chu Yun greets the Sage of Medicine."

"Calling me 'Medical Sage' is rather unpleasant. I find you agreeable. This kid calls me 'Uncle-Master,' so you can just call me Uncle Gu," Gu Wushang said, waving his hand dismissively.

Chu Yun was quite puzzled and did not immediately agree.

Gu Huaizhi felt a surge of warmth in his heart and looked at Chu Yun with a strange sense of anticipation.

Gu Wushang's eyebrows shot up. "I am a renowned physician from the Holy Medicine Valley. You calling me 'uncle' is the one who benefits."

Chu Yun paused for a moment, then changed her address: "Uncle Gu."

"That's a good boy." Gu Wushang immediately put on a smiling face, then said sarcastically, "Unlike those two brats, one is never home and the other only cares about practicing martial arts." As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Huaizhi.

Gu Huaizhi looked away, not daring to speak.

"You brat, you don't come to me unless you need something. What brings you here this time?" Gu Wushang looked at Gu Huaizhi, his tone extremely impatient.

"Uncle, what are you saying? We've been apart for many days, and I've missed you dearly, so I've come to pay my respects," Gu Huaizhi said in a low voice.

"Come on, if you really want to see me, don't just stand here. Go to the backyard and help your brother pound herbs. That would show you some filial piety." Gu Wushang wasn't buying it.

Gu Huaizhi said awkwardly, "The herbs must be pounded, but before that, please have my uncle take A-Yun's pulse for me."

For me, Ah Yun.

Gu Wushang listened intently, his gaze sweeping between Chu Yun and Gu Huaizhi, a knowing smile on his face. "Since you've brought it up, I can't refuse you this favor."

Gu Huaizhi bowed again, "Thank you, Uncle-Master."

Chu Yun also bowed, "Thank you... Uncle Gu." She was still not used to it, and paused slightly when she called him "Uncle."

Looking at the two people standing side by side, bowing in unison, Gu Wushang's smile deepened.

"Girl, come and sit down." He beckoned to Chu Yun.

Gu Huaizhi followed closely behind Chu Yun.

"Hold out your hand," Gu Wushang said.

He touched Chu Yun's wrist, his smile fading, replaced by focus and seriousness, befitting a meticulous doctor.

As the pulse diagnosis took longer, Gu Wushang's serious expression was replaced by solemnity, and his brows furrowed, forming a deep frown.

Gu Huaizhi watched all this, and his heart sank deeper and deeper.

Chu Yun, on the other hand, remained calm.

After a long while, Gu Wushang withdrew his hand and said in a heavy tone, "Girl, your pulse is no different from that of an ordinary person, but upon closer examination, it is quite abnormal. You appear to be healthy and normal, but in fact, the blood flow in your body is faster than that of an ordinary person, and even more unusual. Although I can see the strangeness, I do not know what illness you have."

"Uncle-Master, is there no way even you can do it?" Gu Huaizhi couldn't help but ask.

Gu Wushang shook his head.

Chu Yun smiled and said, "It's alright, thank you for your trouble, Uncle Gu."

"Girl, don't be discouraged, I'll think of a way to help you," Gu Wushang assured her.

"Thank you," Chu Yun said.

The room fell silent, a silence tinged with sorrow.

Staying here would only make Gu Wushang more frustrated, so Chu Yun said, "I have already bothered you for a long time. I have some things to take care of, so I will not disturb you any longer."

Gu Wushang's words dispelled the somber atmosphere in the room. He nodded and said, "Go."

"This junior takes his leave." Chu Yun stood up and bowed.

Gu Huaizhi silently saw Chu Yun to the door, then stopped at the entrance and called out to her, "A-Yun, I will think of another way, don't be afraid."

Chu Yun smiled and said, "I know, there's no need to see me off. You and Senior Gu must have a lot to talk about, so go back now."

Gu Huaizhi forced a smile and said, "Okay."

He stood at the doorway, his gaze fixed on the spot where Chu Yun had disappeared, completely lost in thought, unaware that Gu Wushang had come up behind him.

"Hey kid, snap out of it!"

Gu Wushang's voice drifted into Gu Huaizhi's ears. He didn't turn around and said calmly, "Uncle-Master."

"The girl is nice, but if you fall for her, you might suffer," Gu Wushang deliberately warned.

“I’m not afraid. I’m only afraid that she doesn’t like me, and even more afraid…” Gu Huaizhi’s voice became barely audible, “and even more afraid that I won’t be able to see her for long.”

Chu Yun left the courtyard and strolled back to her residence.

After walking for a while, a series of chaotic noises suddenly came from behind.

"Stop! Stop!"

"You bastard, don't run away if you dare!"

"Don't let me catch you!"

......

Chu Yun looked back and saw a group of people seemingly chasing after someone.

The person being chased ran extremely fast, leaping and bounding, quickly leaving the people behind him further and further away, turning into a blur as he ran towards where Chu Yun was, and his target seemed to be Chu Yun right there.

"Sister, save me!"
