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

Chu Wenshu concealed everything and left Chu Yun's room in a daze.

He stood in the snow, momentarily at a loss as to where to go or who could help him stop Chu Yun's marriage.

It took him a long time to think of someone—Gu Huaizhi.

If there is anyone in Xiaoyue Manor who shares his reluctance to let Chu Yun marry Xiao Qi'an, and perhaps has the ability to stop the marriage, that person must be Gu Huaizhi.

Thinking of a suitable candidate, Chu Wenshu rushed to Gu Huaizhi's pharmacy like a madman, but he was destined to come up empty-handed.

After asking around, Chu Wenshu learned that Gu Huaizhi had left Xiaoyue Manor yesterday and had not returned since.

It's obvious who benefits the most from Gu Huaizhi's departure at this time; it's definitely Xiao Qi'an who got Gu Huaizhi away.

Chu Wenshu couldn't help but draw his twin swords from his waist and slash fiercely at a withered tree next to the pharmacy. In a daze, he mistook it for Xiao Qi'an and wished he could tear Xiao Qi'an to pieces.

"You're ruthless! You're absolutely cruel!"

The boy's angry voice was drowned out by the howling wind, just like his unspeakable secret, which could only be hidden in the wind and snow and could not be told to others.

Gu Huaizhi, whom Chu Wenshu was so eager to find, had already learned about Chu Yun and Xiao Qi'an's upcoming engagement.

Lin Zifeng told him.

"Gu Huaizhi, you treat Xiao Qi'an as a brother, but he wants to marry the woman you love. Are you really still going to be loyal to him?"

In the dark, secret room, Lin Zifeng's gloomy voice pierced Gu Huaizhi's eardrums.

Gu Huaizhi, of course, did not believe him and scoffed, "You really will stop at nothing to make me bow down."

Lin Zifeng couldn't help but laugh, "You don't believe me?"

Gu Huaizhi did not utter a word.

"Gu Huaizhi, I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be so naive and ridiculous. You still think I'm lying to you." Lin Zifeng mocked Gu Huaizhi mercilessly.

"The woman you like is named Wen Chuyun, right? Xiao Qi'an just announced that he will marry this Miss Wen in a month."

Even though he found it absurd, Gu Huaizhi couldn't help but open his eyes when he heard Chu Yun's name.

Lin Zifeng sat down in front of him and, seeing Gu Huaizhi's actions, laughed and said, "So, her is your weakness."

Lin Zifeng wanted to use Gu Huaizhi, so he naturally needed to know Gu Huaizhi inside and out. The spies he planted in the villa truthfully reported back the secrets between Gu Huaizhi and Chu Yun. After a little thought, Lin Zifeng tried to trick Gu Huaizhi with words, and unexpectedly, he actually got lucky.

Since Gu Huaizhi was captured by him, he was initially willing to exchange a few hypocritical words with him, but later he became like a wooden stake. Even when locked in a dark and sunless secret room, he refused to say another word. Now, however, he reacted to the name Wen Chuyun. Lin Zifeng became more and more certain that he could use this marriage to persuade Gu Huaizhi to turn against him.

"Young Master Gu, I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, go out and ask around yourself. Your Miss Wen's marriage to Young Master Xiao is a major event that has shaken the martial arts world. Almost everyone in the martial arts world is talking about it now." Lin Zifeng looked at Gu Huaizhi with schadenfreude.

“Young Master Gu, I will come to see you again in three days. If you change your mind and are willing to abandon the darkness and embrace the light, I will definitely forgive you and help you win the heart of your beauty.” After saying this, Lin Zifeng suddenly stood up and left the secret room.

Looking at the wide-open door to the secret chamber, Gu Huaizhi frowned slightly, a strange sense of panic washing over him.

He supported himself with his hands and slowly stood up. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything all day, and his body was indeed struggling; his steps were weak and feeble.

The night before last, Gu Huaizhi received a personal letter from the elder of the valley, urgently ordering him to return to the valley. He dared not delay and left the letter early the next morning. However, after descending the mountain, he encountered Lin Zifeng and his group and was forcibly abducted.

Lin Zifeng wanted Gu Huaizhi to act as an inside agent to help them take over Xiaoyue Manor. At first, he treated Gu Huaizhi with some courtesy. Gu Huaizhi was careful in dealing with them and pretended to agree, but when he drew a fake duty roster of Xiaoyue Manor guards, Lin Zifeng discovered the clue.

Gu Huaizhi was locked in a dark and gloomy secret room. Knowing that Lin Zifeng had seen through him, he stopped pretending and stopped answering whatever Lin Zifeng asked. He just waited for the tracking bird to find his trail and lead people to rescue him.

He was not unprepared for going down the mountain alone; he had already applied a secret medicine to his body. The tracking birds carefully raised by the Holy Medicine Valley would surely be able to find his location, and then he could escape. As for the poison in his body, as long as Chu Wenshu was cured, everything would be resolved.

Because he had his own plans, hunger and darkness were not too unbearable. However, Gu Huaizhi did not expect that after waiting for so long, what he would receive was not someone to save him, but Lin Zifeng's absurd and ridiculous words.

Even more absurdly, he actually believed it to some extent.

Gu Huaizhi leaned against the wall and walked out of the secret room step by step, constantly telling himself: Lin Zifeng was lying, it was just a means to force him to submit, and he had to believe Chu Yun.

But when Gu Huaizhi walked down the street, he could hear people talking about Xiao Qi'an's marriage everywhere, and his already weak belief kept wavering.

His soul was torn in two; one half tried to persuade him that even if Xiao Qi'an was getting married, the bride might not be Chu Yun, while the other half mocked him for still refusing to believe it.

"Have you heard? The young master of Xiaoyue Manor isn't marrying a lady from a prestigious martial arts family, nor a renowned beauty, but a completely unknown girl. She's from no sect, has no parents, and her surname seems to be Wen. In short, she's very mysterious." A man in a roadside teahouse said loudly.

These words pierced Gu Huaizhi's eardrums, shattering his last shred of resolve.

He could no longer bear it and grabbed the wall beside the street for support. His vision went black, and the acid in his stomach forced him to bend over and vomit, but because his stomach was empty, he could not vomit anything. The veins on his neck and arms bulged, and his face turned red, making him look terrifying and ugly.

The physical discomfort and the tearing pain in his heart plunged Gu Huaizhi into darkness, causing him to collapse to the ground.

He collapsed in a corner alley. If his men hadn't followed the tracking birds, it would have been difficult for anyone to find him even after a long time.

Gu Huaizhi was taken to the nearest inn to rest, where he remained unconscious until late at night before waking up.

As soon as he regained consciousness, he grabbed one of his men and demanded, "Who is the young master going to marry?"

"It's...it's Miss Wen."

"Which Miss Wen? I'm asking you what her name is." Gu Huaizhi raised his voice, his eyes slightly red.

"Wen...Wen Chuyun."

Upon hearing Chu Yun's name, Gu Huaizhi froze on the spot. After a long while, he finally released his subordinate's collar and ran out like a madman. He didn't have much strength left, but even though his steps were unsteady, he kept walking out without stopping.

Gu Huaizhi ran for a long time against the cold wind and finally arrived at the foot of Xiaoyue Manor.

Looking at the large red silk hanging above the mountain gate, he let out a painful growl and muttered, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
