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

A fight was about to break out, and everyone turned to look. But then a round of applause broke out, followed by an exclamation from the clapper: "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

A middle-aged man dressed in black walked into the lobby step by step, and his appearance made many people present gasp in surprise.

"Lin Zifeng—" someone whispered the name.

Lin Zifeng smiled and said, "I didn't expect that after so many years, there would still be someone who could recognize me."

This is an acknowledgment of his identity.

The elder of Xiaoyue Manor, who had disappeared for many years, suddenly appeared, and he seemed to have ill intentions, making the already tense atmosphere even more severe.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Qi'an realized something was wrong, suppressed his pain for the moment, and looked at Lin Zifeng.

"No matter what, I grew up in Xiaoyue Manor. How could I not come to congratulate the Manor Lord on such a joyous occasion as his marriage?" Lin Zifeng said with a smile.

"Is that so?" Xiao Qi'an's expression was cold and stern, without the slightest hint of a smile.

"Master Xiao, I'm sure you'll like the generous gift I'm giving you." Lin Zifeng didn't mind at all. "This young master Gu beside you once asked me to help him go down the mountain. The benefit was that he would help my people enter the manor. As for me, I'm giving him to you as a gift today. I won't help him go down the mountain. You can do whatever you want with him. Do you think this gift of mine is sincere?"

Before Xiao Qi'an could even speak, Gu Huaizhi couldn't hold back any longer. He had felt something was wrong from the moment Lin Zifeng suddenly appeared, disregarding the plan. Now, after hearing Lin Zifeng's outrageous words, he felt even more disoriented. "Lin Zifeng, are you crazy!"

"Young Master Gu, don't be anxious. I did promise to help you get down the mountain, but I didn't say whether I would let you get down the mountain alive or dead and thrown out." Lin Zifeng's sinister voice rang out, his eyes looking at Gu Huaizhi were extremely cold. Anyway, his men had already successfully entered the manor, and Gu Huaizhi was no longer of any use. Lin Zifeng didn't care about his life or death at all.

Still not satisfied with the spectacle, he turned to Xiao Qi'an under Gu Huaizhi's resentful gaze, "Master Xiao, although you schemed against people and used despicable methods to harm Gu Huaizhi, you don't need to blame yourself, because he also betrayed you. If it weren't for him, how could my men have entered the heavily guarded Xiao Yue Manor? Today, I will destroy your home, so before you die, I have one more secret to tell you, so that you can die in peace."

He met Xiao Qi'an's icy gaze and said, word by word, "The deadly poison in your body was administered by this Young Master Gu's mother in collusion with Xiao Changfeng."

Lin Zifeng saw the coldness in Xiao Qi'an's eyes shatter into pieces, replaced by shock and astonishment. He smiled with satisfaction and stepped back to the entrance of the hall, seemingly intentionally leaving the spacious area for Gu Huaizhi and Xiao Qi'an so that they could go crazy. He could watch the people he hated turn against each other and kill each other, which would be more satisfying than killing them with his own hands.

Other guests followed suit, retreating to the edge of the hall. The scene had already terrified them, but the black-clad men with swords outside had sharp eyes and blocked all exits. Unable to leave, the guests could only stay, and their gazes inevitably fell on the three people at the center of the storm.

They heard Xiao Qi'an's voice, even colder than before, ask, "Is what Lin Zifeng said true?"

Gu Huaizhi's mind went blank. Only when he heard Xiao Qi'an's words did his eyes focus. He met Xiao Qi'an's gaze, his voice trembling, but he did not hesitate or look away, "Yes."

Xiao Qi'an's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Gu Huaizhi, his fists clenched, his body trembling uncontrollably. "You're really something!"

His voice became shrill and hoarse from the bone-deep hatred; he uttered a blood-stained wail like an animal whose throat had been bitten through.

"Yes, my mother has wronged you, so all these years I've been like a dog, at your beck and call. I've done whatever you need without batting an eye. But what about you? How have you treated me? You drove a wedge between me and A-Yun, and used dirty tricks to take her away from me. You're the one who wronged me first!" Gu Huaizhi raised his voice, as if he had done nothing wrong.

Now that things have come to this, it's hard to say who wronged whom first, or who owes whom. Perhaps only the death of one of them can resolve this feud.

Gu Huaizhi turned to look at Chu Yun, "A Yun, Xiao Qi'an and I have some private matters to attend to. After we're done, I'll definitely take you with me."

Whether for Chu Yun's sake or for what his mother had done, he had to face Xiao Qi'an directly. But before that, he had to ensure Chu Yun's safety. Seeing Chu Yun lower her eyes and nod, Gu Huaizhi felt slightly relieved. He released Chu Yun, gently patted her head, and then looked at Xiao Qi'an, "Xiao Qi'an, our grudges should be settled today. Do you dare to fight me and fight to the death!"

"Fine," Xiao Qi'an replied coldly.

"I need you to promise that if you survive this battle, you must not make things difficult for Chu Yun!" Gu Huaizhi added.

Xiao Qi'an was slightly taken aback. He looked at Chu Yun beside Gu Huaizhi and felt a sharp pain in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

Gu Huaizhi was finally relieved. He turned to look at Chu Yun again and hugged her without any hesitation. He didn't say anything, but it was as if he had said everything.

Although the relationship between the three was a mess and Gu Huaizhi's character was somewhat questionable, many sentimental women in the martial arts world were still moved by Gu Huaizhi's true feelings for Chu Yun, and watched with teary eyes as the two embraced each other, reluctant to part.

They watched as Chu Yun nestled in Gu Huaizhi's arms, seemingly loving him wholeheartedly. Then, a flash of cold light blinded them. In the blink of an eye, when they looked again, Gu Huaizhi was coughing up blood and trembling all over.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his eyes filled with terror and astonishment.

At such close range, it seems there is only one person who could hurt him.

Some people kept rubbing their eyes, hoping that what they were seeing was an illusion.

But how could it be fake!

The beautiful and obedient bride who had been silent all along, the bride who had been ignored by everyone from beginning to end, suddenly raised the blade in her hand and stabbed Gu Huaizhi in the heart. Blood spurted out and dripped onto her fair face, but she did not care at all. Without the slightest hesitation, she pulled out the blade from her hand and pushed Gu Huaizhi, causing him to fall backward to the ground.

Then, the beautiful woman took out a white silk handkerchief and slowly and carefully wiped the bloodstains from her face.

Blood stained the white handkerchief, like red plum blossoms falling into snow. The woman tossed it aside, and the handkerchief drifted down onto Gu Huaizhi. She seemed to finally remember Gu Huaizhi, coldly glaring at him. Her lips parted slightly, and she uttered a heartless sentence, "I never said I wanted to go with you."

A woman's words, devoid of any emotion, are colder than a winter's snow.

It's so cold, it chills you to the bone.
