(Quick Transmigration) Small Cannon Fodder Has Great Power

After a long and arduous journey, the three finally arrived at the Valley of Healers.

The senior disciples of the Immortal Healer Valley had received Gongsun Jing's message in advance, knowing that they were returning today, so they greeted them at the entrance of the Immortal Healer Valley.

"Where's grandpa?"

"Master is currently testing new medicines and is engrossed in his research at the medicine hut. We are not allowed to disturb him."

Gongsun Jing nodded knowingly. She turned to Qi Shaoyu and said, "Brother Qi, I have already informed my senior brother to prepare your guest room. Please take a look and see if you are satisfied."

"Good work."

Gu Yunyun put her veil back on and was the last to get off the carriage. Qi Shaoyu naturally reached out to help her jump down, which made Gongsun Jing purse her lips.

"Tch, what a pampered young lady."

Gu Yunyun glanced at Qi Shaoyu somewhat embarrassedly upon hearing this, "Thank you, Young Master Qi, I can do it myself."

The system clicked its tongue: "After Gongsun Jing arrived, why didn't she call Shaoyu 'brother' all the way? Look how affectionately she called him 'brother Qi'! If you called him 'brother Shaoyu,' it would definitely infuriate her!"

"I don't want to, Gongsun Jing will definitely follow suit."

She jumped off the carriage herself and stood obediently beside Qi Shaoyu, appearing quite dependent on him. Although her full face couldn't be seen, her delicate and frail appearance evoked a protective instinct in all the men present. "Miss Gongsun/Junior Sister" seemed rather harsh.

Gongsun Jing regretted her words and tried to salvage her image by forcing a smile at Gu Yunyun, saying in a seemingly cheerful manner, "I'm just a straightforward person, I say what I think, Miss Gu, please don't mind."

Gu Yunyun smiled and shook her head. "I am already extremely grateful that Miss Gongsun allowed me and Young Master Qi to come to the Valley of Healing Immortals together."

"Brother Qi, let me take you to the guest room." Gongsun Jing led Qi Shaoyu and Gu Yunyun to a clean and elegant room. "This is your accommodation, Brother Qi. I'll take Miss Gu to her room later. Brother Qi, would you like to see if there's anything else you need?"

"It's already very good, I wouldn't dare trouble Miss Gongsun any further."

“Three meals a day will be delivered. Please let me know if you need anything. Now I’ll take Miss Gu to her room.”

"Thank you, Miss Gongsun."

Gongsun Jing pouted in dissatisfaction, "We've known each other for quite some time now, why is Brother Qi being so formal, still calling me Miss Gongsun?"

"Well..." Qi Shaoyu hesitated for a moment, "Since you call me Brother Qi, then I'll call you Sister Gongsun, shall I?"

Gongsun Jing was still somewhat dissatisfied, feeling that it wasn't as intimate as him calling Gu Yunyun, but it was at least better than calling her "Miss Gongsun." So she reluctantly agreed for the time being, thinking there would be plenty of time in the future. She smiled and took her leave, taking Gu Yunyun with her.

As soon as she was out of Qi Shaoyu's sight, Gongsun Jing's expression changed. She put away her innocent sweet smile and arrogantly snorted, "Our Healing Immortal Valley is not a place where just any cat or dog can come in. It's only because of Brother Qi that we allowed you to come in. You should be more discerning."

She crossed her arms and paced slowly, glancing sideways at Gu Yunyun. "Brother Qi is my guest, but you are not. Don't think you can eat and drink for free in the Valley of the Immortal Healer. If you have any strength, go help the servants in the valley with some work, and stop bothering Brother Qi."

"I can pay."

"Haha, do you think this is an inn? Do you know that even the leader of the martial arts alliance has to bring a lot of money and gifts and beg us outside to let him in, and even then, it depends on whether we are willing to let him in. Who do you think you are?"

Gu Yunyun stared at her for a while, then suddenly said, "You're so annoying."

"...What?!" Gongsun Jing's eyes widened in anger.

"Do you think you're the only one who hates me? I hate you too."

"Heh, well, you really are a scheming, pretentious bitch. You've finally shown your true colors, haven't you? Now that Brother Qi isn't here, you're no longer pretending?"

Gu Yunyun rolled her eyes. "Since you're so straightforward, why don't you show this side of yourself to your Brother Qi?"

"You...!" Gongsun Jing raised her hand, ready to slap Gu Yunyun. She had wanted to do this for a long time. She felt that this woman's shamelessness in coming to the Valley of the Immortal Healer wasn't entirely without its benefits. Once on her turf, Gu Yunyun would only be at her mercy, and what could she do to her?

Gu Yunyun grabbed her hand, "You dare to make a move? Aren't you afraid that if you leave a scar, I'll go to Young Master Qi and complain about you?" After she finished speaking, she pushed Gongsun Jing's hand away.

Once Gongsun Jing calmed down, she indeed didn't make another move. She just sneered, "Don't think I can't do anything to you just because I don't hit you directly. Come on, let me show you your residence."

The guest room she prepared for Gu Yunyun was far from Qi Shaoyu's room, separated by an entire medicinal herb field. The room was in a very remote location, with tall trees blocking the view in front and a wild forest behind. At night, the calls of owls and other unknown birds and beasts echoed through the forest, creating a very eerie atmosphere.

Gu Yunyun pushed open the door and was choked by the dust that hit her. She coughed a few times and waved her hand before she could see the state of the room. The room hadn't been cleaned in a long time; the furniture was covered with a thick layer of dust, and there were cobwebs hanging in the corners.

It's already evening, and if she were to clean up completely by herself, it would probably take until late at night.

Gongsun Jing stood far behind her, covering her mouth and giggling. "Oh dear, it must be that Senior Brother was careless and forgot to tidy up here. What should we do? Everyone's gone to eat at this time and can't come to help you."

"Besides, you're just an uninvited guest. It wouldn't be right to trouble the people in the valley to clean your room so late at night, would it?" She flicked her sleeves and said cheerfully, "Miss Gu, please make do for the night."

After saying that, Gongsun Jing turned around and took a couple of steps, then suddenly looked back as if she remembered something. "By the way, the kitchen is short-handed lately, so you should go help out there tomorrow morning. If you don't work, you won't get any meals. A servant will come to take you there first thing tomorrow morning."

Gu Yunyun ignored her, looked back at the dusty room, and disgustedly closed the door and left.

The system worriedly said, "It looks like no one will be delivering dinner tonight."

"Even if I get to eat from now on, don't expect anyone to bring it to me. Knowing Gongsun Jing's temper, she'll probably make me eat with the servants. But do I look like the kind of person who's so submissive?"

Gu Yunyun slipped into the kitchen and ate her fill, then strolled around the valley to digest. As night approached and it was almost bedtime, she came to Qi Shaoyu's door, pacing back and forth as if conflicted.

Qi Shaoyu was skilled in martial arts, so he naturally heard the commotion outside and opened the door to investigate.

Gu Yunyun seemed surprised when he suddenly opened the door. Startled, she looked up abruptly, just in time to let Qi Shaoyu see the tears welling up in her eyes.

Qi Shaoyu was taken aback and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Yunyun hesitated, then lowered her head and wiped her eyes before saying in a muffled voice, "...No, nothing. I'm sorry for disturbing your rest. I...I'll go back now..." After saying that, she ran away without looking back.

Qi Shaoyu grabbed his coat and chased after him.

The system exclaimed in admiration, "Host's acting skills are getting more and more superb!"

"Thank you for the compliment, hehe~"

Gu Yunyun used her lightness skill to keep Qi Shaoyu on his heels, making it difficult for him to catch up, yet he could still see her direction. Finally, she stopped by the big tree outside her room without going inside.

Qi Shaoyu arrived shortly after and asked her worriedly, "What happened?" He wondered if Gongsun Jing had bullied her. After all, Gongsun Jing's hostility towards Gu Yunyun had been very obvious from the very beginning.

Night had fallen, and the mournful calls of owls echoed through the woods behind the house; the wind rustled through the trees, casting shifting shadows and creating a truly eerie atmosphere.

"I...I'm just a little...a little..." Gu Yunyun stammered, seemingly embarrassed. She felt it wasn't appropriate to go to a man alone in the middle of the night and say such things, as it had a hint of something, so she couldn't continue.

Seeing the desolate and terrifying environment, and Gu Yunyun's behavior, Qi Shaoyu immediately understood. She had probably come to him because she was too scared, and since there was no one else here to rely on but him, she had no choice but to come to him. But young women are ultimately shy, and she couldn't bring herself to ask him for help.

Qi Shaoyu's heart softened instantly, but he was also dissatisfied with Gongsun Jing's arrangement. There were several empty guest rooms not far from his own, yet Yunyun was assigned to such a remote and terrifying room.

"Come stay at my place, I'll stay in this room," Qi Shaoyu said softly as he stepped forward.

"How does this work?"

"Haha, what's wrong with that? Let's just leave it at that..." He said, pushing open the door, but then froze at the doorway, his face instantly turning grim.

Gu Yunyun quickly stepped forward, "You still have injuries, and the dust here... is not good for your wounds to heal..."

Seeing the thick layer of dust covering the room, Qi Shaoyu was truly angered by Gongsun Jing's actions towards Gu Yunyun. During their journey, Gongsun Jing had been spoiled and arrogant, but Gu Yunyun had always avoided her and never held it against her. He had mediated, believing Gongsun Jing was merely a spoiled child with a kind and gentle heart; otherwise, she wouldn't have saved him, a complete stranger. But this time, she had truly gone too far.

Moreover, Gu Yunyun came to the Valley of the Immortal Healer because of him, which made him feel very guilty for not taking good care of her and causing her to suffer these grievances.

Qi Shaoyu sighed, "This room really doesn't look habitable." He closed the door, "In any case, let's go back to my place first."

Gu Yunyun nodded with tears in her eyes, which made Qi Shaoyu feel another pang of heartache. He saw a lantern in the room, so he went in and got a flint to light it.

"You won't have to go back in the dark anymore."

This time, the two didn't use their light-footed skills. Qi Shaoyu carried a lantern, leading Gu Yunyun through the medicinal herb field. The cold moon hung in the sky, and a night breeze blew. Gu Yunyun was walking with her head down when suddenly she felt a warmth on her body. Qi Shaoyu draped his outer garment over her shoulders. She looked up at him, and Qi Shaoyu only smiled.

"I'm getting hot, you can wear this."

"Thank you... Brother Shaoyu."

Qi Shaoyu felt a surge of warmth in his heart and couldn't help but chuckle softly, his tone unconsciously filled with doting affection, "It's been a long time since I've heard you call me that."

Gu Yunyun felt a slight tingling sensation in her ear as his gentle chuckle brushed against her ear.

The system said cheekily, "Host, we've detected your heartbeat is a little fast~"

Qi Shaoyu stopped at the door. "Go in."

"how about you?"

"I'll just meditate on the porch for the night." Although there are vacant rooms not far away, it's not appropriate to trespass without the owner's permission. Besides, few outsiders come to the Valley of the Immortal Healer, and the other guest rooms probably haven't been cleaned either.

"That won't do!" Gu Yunyun seemed to struggle internally for a moment, then bit her lip. "How about... you come in too..."
