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

Gu Huaizhi lingered at the Medical Sage's place for a long time. During this time, the Medical Sage also took his pulse, and the result was unsatisfactory. A flying insect had entered Gu Huaizhi's body, but the Medical Sage couldn't even see it, which was truly absurd.

It's no wonder, though. Since their founding ancestors, Poison Heart Valley and Holy Healer Valley have been at odds with each other, and neither looks down on the other. This situation has led to the fact that the people of Holy Healer Valley are unfamiliar with witchcraft and sorcery, while the people of Poison Heart Valley disdain the path of medicine.

Whether it was the Gu in Chu Yun's body, the Gu in Chu Wenshu's body, or the Gu in Gu Huai's body, the Medical Sage was helpless and could not diagnose it at all.

Gu Huaizhi, who secretly studied Gu techniques and witnessed flying insects entering his body, vaguely knew that he had been poisoned by Gu.

He immediately thought of Chu Wenshu, but after asking him, he learned that Chu Wenshu had lost his memory after waking up from his serious injuries that day and was unable to help him.

If we make a big fuss about finding an antidote, there's no guarantee that the fact that we've been poisoned won't be exposed, and it would be terrible if Lin Zifeng were implicated.

It can be said that Gu Huaizhi's path is now blocked, leaving him with only three options: either he can find a way to cure the curse himself, or he can only wait for Lin Zifeng to come to him, or he can confess everything to Xiao Qi'an and have Xiao Yue Manor use all its resources to find a way for him to survive.

There's no telling when or how long it will take to make progress in developing an antidote.

Once Lin Zifeng finds him, he will be unable to clear his name of betrayal.

But Gu Huaizhi still had reservations about confessing to Xiao Qi'an: it was still unknown whether Xiao Qi'an would trust him wholeheartedly, and if he couldn't find an antidote after exhausting all methods, he didn't know what choice Xiao Qi'an would make.

Gu Huaizhi wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting his life to someone else, not even Xiao Qi'an.

After much deliberation, he decided to keep it a secret for now and try to find a solution in secret. If there was really no other way, he would then tell Xiao Qi'an everything.

Gu Huaizhi returned to his room with a heavy heart. Before he could even sit down, his legs suddenly gave way, and a piercing pain shot through his leg bones. His legs trembled, and he accidentally fell to the ground. A small trinket in his sleeve flew out, rolled forward, and stopped at the door.

Gu Huaizhi couldn't care less about any of that. Remembering what Lin Zifeng had said that day, he hurriedly took out a jade bottle from his waist. The pain had now spread to the bones in his hand. With trembling hands, he took out an antidote and swallowed it.

As the pain in his body and internal organs gradually subsided, Gu Huaizhi clutched his chest, panting heavily. After a while, he finally stood up and sat down in a chair.

The medication was timely this time, and the pain didn't last long, but he truly experienced the agonizing pain of his internal organs feeling like they were shifting and being squeezed together. This small glimpse revealed that if he didn't receive an antidote in the future, he would surely be tortured to death by such agony, just as Lin Zifeng had said, dying a agonizing death.

Thinking of these things, Gu Huaizhi's already bad mood became even more gloomy, and his eyes were filled with coldness.

Xiao Qi'an arrived at Gu Huaizhi's room at that moment, but he did not notice Gu Huaizhi's cold expression. Instead, his attention was drawn to a few candied fruits by the door.

With their vibrant and plump colors, and the skin of the fruit coated with a layer of sugar frosting, a few bright red candied fruits lay on the ground, standing out conspicuously.

But this was not the reason why Xiao Qi'an was staring blankly at the candied fruit.

The reason he couldn't take his eyes off it was that he had seen this kind of candied fruit at Chu Yun's place before.

He was waiting for her in the room when a maid brought over the things Chu Yun had brought back from her trip. Chu Yun had returned just as she had when she left, without bringing anything except an exquisite box.

But the girl was clumsy and accidentally knocked over the box, spilling nearly half of the fruit onto the ground.

Xiao Qi'an saw clearly that the box containing the candied fruit had the Fukanglou logo, so he sent the weeping maid to Fukanglou to buy another box of candied fruit and return it unopened.

However, Xiao Qi'an naturally did not mention this little incident to Chu Yun. He just secretly thought that Chu Yun liked candied fruit and that he would definitely cater to her taste in the future.

But the candied fruit that Chu Yun liked also appeared in Gu Huaizhi's room.

You should know that Gu Huaizhi has never liked sweets, let alone something as cloyingly sweet as candied fruit.

Xiao Qi'an was always a deep thinker; just a few candied fruits were enough to set his mind racing. Perhaps these candied fruits were a gift from Chu Yun to Gu Huaizhi, or perhaps Gu Huaizhi bought them specially because he saw that Chu Yun liked them...

No matter the reason, it was impossible for Xiao Qi'an to remain calm. His already tormented heart was now like being fried in oil, bobbing up and down, finding it difficult to find peace.

"Qi'an." Just as Xiao Qi'an was lost in thought, Gu Huaizhi's call pulled him back to reality.

He looked up and saw the smile on Gu Huaizhi's face. He forced a smile and drove his wheelchair into the house, saying as he went, "I was worried about your injury, so I thought I'd come and see you."

Gu Huaizhi: "My injury is nothing serious, I'll be fine after a few days of rest. But you, why did you stand at the door for so long?"

Gu Huaizhi was glad that Xiao Qi'an lingered at the door, giving him time to wipe the cold sweat from his face, calm his emotions, and greet people with a smile. However, he was also worried that Xiao Qi'an would notice something was wrong, hence his question.

"I saw a lot of things scattered at the door, and I thought something had happened to you," Xiao Qi'an explained.

Gu Huaizhi laughed nonchalantly, "When I came back just now, I slipped and something from my sleeve fell out. I didn't have time to clean it up."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi'an's eyes darkened further: It actually fell out of his sleeve?

Why would someone carry something they don't like with them? He asked casually, "I remember you don't like sweets, so why are there a few pieces of candied fruit in your sleeve?"

“After going out for a while, my tastes have changed a bit. I actually think the candied fruit tastes quite good now. So I wrapped a few pieces in a silk handkerchief and put them in my sleeve so I can take them out and enjoy them anytime,” Gu Huaizhi replied.

In short, there are many aspects worth exploring.

Why did the once-fixed flavor change? Who was the candied fruit wrapped in the silk handkerchief intended for?

Xiao Qi'an felt that all of this was inextricably linked to Chu Yun. The few small candied fruits not only revealed Gu Huaizhi's sudden change in taste, but also made Xiao Qi'an realize that he was separated by an invisible barrier, and on the other side of the barrier were Chu Yun and Gu Huaizhi.

There was a secret between Chu Yun and Gu Huaizhi that he was unaware of, a secret that he could not pry into, could not access, and could not understand.

A sudden surge of emotion welled up inside him, and Xiao Qi'an said calmly, "If you like it, I'll have someone prepare it for you every day."

Gu Huaizhi smiled and said, "No need, I have already instructed the manager of Fukanglou to send candied fruit every day."

"That's good. I just remembered I have some things to take care of. You should rest and recover. I'll send someone to bring you some tonics later." Xiao Qi'an's eyes showed apology.

Gu Huaizhi couldn't wait for Xiao Qi'an to leave, so he smiled and said, "You go ahead with your business, important matters are at stake."
