(Quick Transmigration) Small Cannon Fodder Has Great Power

"Young Master Qi, you have truly disappointed me." Gu Yunyun pretended to leisurely admire her nails, which were painted with light pink flower juice, without looking at Qi Shaoyu. "I heard that a young hero of the Qingshan Sect has learned a peerless skill that can absorb people's internal energy by chance, so I thought I would try to get close to you to see if I could obtain this skill."

Qi Shaoyu's voice was hoarse: "I didn't..."

“Yes, if you really learned this evil skill and killed those promising young heroes to absorb their inner strength, how come you can't even defeat a doctor who doesn't know martial arts?” She walked up to Qi Shaoyu and lightly stroked his face. “You made me waste so much effort. I should have killed you… but since your handsome face still makes me happy, I will spare your life.”

After saying that, Gu Yunyun reached out and grabbed the pale purple embroidered shawl from Gongsun Jing, who was trembling like a leaf and hiding behind Qi Shaoyu. With a "whoosh," she unfolded it and draped it over herself, covering the torn part of her clothes on her back. Gongsun Jing screamed in fright, and the tears of terror that had been welling up in her eyes finally fell.

Gu Yunyun draped her shawl over her shoulders, turned, and walked away, clutching the shawl tightly in her hand. Thinking of Qi Shaoyu's misunderstanding of her, the carefree expression on her face gradually faded as she turned away, replaced by sadness.

Fearing that the people inside would notice something amiss, Gu Yunyun quickened her pace and, as soon as she left the room, used her light-footed skill to escape.

“…Yunyun!” Qi Shaoyu stood up after a moment of stunned silence and hurriedly chased after her.

Gongsun Jing had calmed down a bit by this time, but seeing that Qi Shaoyu had still chased after Gu Yunyun despite knowing her identity, she was furious and her hatred for Gu Yunyun deepened. She stood up, still feeling weak, and ignored the old doctor's urgent calls, quietly following after him.

Qi Shaoyu used his lightness skill to stop Gu Yunyun before she left the valley.

When Gu Yunyun saw that he had actually chased after her, she was both happy and worried. Like a wronged child who had suddenly found comfort, she found it even harder to control her emotions and almost burst into tears. She quickly turned her head away from him, her face stern, and asked in a hard voice, "Why did you chase after me? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

When Qi Shaoyu saw her face, his heart ached, and he subconsciously reached out to touch her face. "You... don't be sad."

Gu Yunyun's eyes widened for a moment, as if her heart had been struck a heavy blow. She took a deep breath before gritting her teeth and turning to glare at him fiercely, "Who's sad?!"

Qi Shaoyu withdrew his hand, but couldn't help but laugh. Her current expression reminded him of when they first met. She said she couldn't eat much, but he caught her secretly eating snacks like a little hamster, looking completely satisfied. She looked flustered but pretended to be nonchalant.

But seeing the slight moisture in her eyes, he tenderly suppressed his smile. "I know that's not what you really think. We've spent so much time together, I believe you. I've also heard rumors about the Demonic Cult's... Saintess, but I only believe what I see with my own eyes."

"Even if I am not as ruthless as the rumors suggest, I am still a member of the Demonic Sect. The righteous path and the Demonic Sect are irreconcilable enemies. Are you sure you still want to associate with me?"

Qi Shaoyu laughed heartily, displaying a carefree and unrestrained spirit. "In my heart, there is no distinction between the righteous path and the evil path, only between good and evil." It was precisely this somewhat unconventional nature of his that made his master, mistress, and fellow disciples, with whom he had spent many years, begin to doubt whether he had learned evil arts.

Gu Yunyun's expression softened.

Qi Shaoyu stepped forward, his voice as gentle as ever. "I know you approached me not for any evil arts, so why...?"

Gu Yunyun was stumped. She couldn't very well say it was because of a task assigned by the system, could she? But she couldn't think of any other convincing reason right away. She looked up at Qi Shaoyu; he was still waiting for her answer.

"I..." She couldn't think of anything, so she just gritted her teeth and said, "Because I love you."

Gu Yunyun appeared confident on the surface, but her heart was pounding wildly.

Qi Shaoyu was stunned by her answer. A faint blush rose to his wheat-colored skin, and his heart seemed to bloom with a hundred flowers in an instant, his eyes sparkling. He couldn't help but smile foolishly. He couldn't suppress the overwhelming joy in his heart, wishing he could use his light-footed skills to carry her and circle freely among the treetops, or shout out loud alone in the empty valley.

Gu Yunyun couldn't help but laugh at his dazed look, feeling sweet and happy inside.

At this moment, Qi Shaoyu was completely clueless, showing no signs of the composure and maturity expected of a top disciple from a prestigious family. He stammered, "I thought... I thought... I also... I..." He was so excited that he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time. He simply blushed and grabbed Gu Yunyun's hand, pressing it against his heart.

Gu Yunyun's hand was warm against his palm, and her palm was pressed against his chest, which was also warm. Her heart was pounding like a drum, as if it would burst out of her chest. He looked into her eyes, which were intense and bright, like burning stars.

"Yunyun, I have never been so happy..."

The two people stood facing each other in the bamboo forest, grinning foolishly at each other.

A sharp cry shattered the sweet and warm atmosphere.

"Brother Qi!" Gongsun Jing ran to Qi Shaoyu's side, hid behind him, and grabbed his sleeve.

"Miss Gongsun?"

"Brother Qi, you can't let this vixen deceive you anymore! She's not what she seems at all; she kills without blinking an eye..."

"You saw it?" Qi Shaoyu interrupted her sternly, his expression displeased.

"……what?"

"You say she's a ruthless killer, but did you see her kill anyone?"

Gongsun Jing was speechless for a moment, but that's how it's written in the novel! "But...but everyone in the martial arts world says..."

"Since it's just a rumor and we haven't seen it with our own eyes, we shouldn't judge a person like that. Besides, when the old healer tried to turn Yunyun into a medicine man, Yunyun didn't kill him, did she?"

Gu Yunyun sighed. Even if Qi Shaoyu didn't mind, others wouldn't think that way. So she stopped looking at the two people opposite her and flew away.

"Yunyun!" Qi Shaoyu tried to chase after her again, but Gongsun Jing held his arm tightly.

"Brother Qi, please don't go!"

"Please let go..."

Gongsun Jing's mind raced, and suddenly an idea struck her. "Brother Qi, you still owe me two wishes. I want you to fulfill my second wish right now!"

Qi Shaoyu was eager to catch up with Gu Yunyun, "Wait for me to come back..."

"No! You have to keep your promise now! Besides, that demoness is so skilled in martial arts, are you worried something might happen to her?"

Qi Shaoyu then said helplessly, "...What do you want me to do?"

Gongsun Jing rolled her eyes. "You...you go and water all the medicinal herb fields in the valley. Go now!"

Qi Shaoyu sighed and had no choice but to do as he was told. However, he was worried about finding Gu Yunyun, so he moved very quickly, using his lightness skill to move between the herb fields, and finished in no time.

"Is this enough?" Qi Shaoyu threw down the bucket and was about to leave.

Gongsun Jing hadn't expected him to finish so quickly; she had thought the vast medicinal fields in the valley would at least delay him for a while. Anxiously, she grabbed Qi Shaoyu's clothes, racking her brains for a reason to stop him from leaving.

"Didn't you promise me you wouldn't leave until your injuries were completely healed?"

"My injury is healed."

"No! Even if there's still a scab that hasn't healed or a cut that hasn't been cut, it doesn't count as a healed wound!"

Qi Shaoyu was exasperated by her unreasonable behavior. "I'm not leaving. I'll just see her off and come back."

"can not go!"

Qi Shaoyu didn't want to get entangled with her anymore, so he pulled her hand away and was about to leave the valley.

Gongsun Jing, left with no other choice, finally shouted, "Brother Qi, you really can't go out! Today, the leader of the Huashan Sect is seeking medical help for his son at the entrance of the Valley of Healing Immortals. If you go out, you'll run into them! The leader of the Huashan Sect is highly skilled in martial arts and has many disciples. If you encounter them, you won't be able to escape..."

Qi Shaoyu turned around abruptly, “…Why didn’t you say so just now?” Wouldn’t Yunyun have run into the Huashan Sect as soon as she went out? She wasn’t wearing a veil today, and the Huashan Sect leader had fought her head-on during the battle to suppress the Demonic Sect, so he would definitely recognize her.

When Gongsun Jing saw that she was being blamed for that witch, she broke down and cried out, "She's a witch! Everyone has the right to kill her!!"

Qi Shaoyu had no intention of speaking to her anymore. His face was extremely ugly as he sped out of the valley, leaving Gongsun Jing's heart-wrenching cries of "Brother Qi" far behind.

As soon as Gu Yunyun left the valley, she ran right into the Huashan Sect.

Beside the Huashan Sect leader lay a stretcher with a young boy lying on it—his youngest son. He anxiously watched the valley entrance, hoping the old healer would finish his grandstanding and send someone to fetch them. Therefore, he immediately noticed Gu Yunyun as soon as she emerged.

They thought it would be a disciple from the Valley of Healers who came out, but to their surprise, it was a stunningly beautiful woman with a slight frown and a heavy heart.

Unlike the other young disciples who were mesmerized by the woman's beauty, the Huashan Sect leader only glanced at her for a moment before realizing how familiar she looked. After all, such beauty is unforgettable once seen, and even though she was young back then and now possessed a more youthful charm, she was still easily recognized.

He leaped in front of Gu Yunyun with his sword in hand, and with a clang, drew the sword from its sheath.

Gu Yunyun looked up and saw a middle-aged man with an imposing aura drawing his sword, his murderous intent palpable. She guessed he was probably the original owner of this body's enemy and prepared to fight back. However, her Serpent Scimitar had been hidden elsewhere before entering the Valley of the Immortal Healers to conceal her identity, and she hadn't had time to retrieve it yet, so she didn't have a suitable weapon.

Seeing their sect leader's actions, the other Huashan disciples, except for those who were looking after the young master, all drew their swords and surrounded him.

As Qi Shaoyu emerged from the valley, he saw Gu Yunyun wielding the longsword she had seized from a Huashan Sect disciple, locked in fierce combat with the Huashan Sect Leader. At the same time, Gu Yunyun also had to guard against sneak attacks from other Huashan Sect disciples, leaving her somewhat overwhelmed. She had already sustained several wounds, staining her pristine white clothes red – a gruesome sight in Qi Shaoyu's eyes.

He immediately leaped forward, ambushed a Huashan disciple from behind, snatched his sword, and joined the battle.

Immediately, a disciple exclaimed in alarm, "This demoness has accomplices!"

Someone recognized him: "It's Qi Shaoyu! He's been mingling with people from the demonic path; we weren't wrong about him!"

"He killed Junior Brother Fang before and even used evil techniques to drain Junior Brother Fang's internal energy, yet he still dares to show up?"

"Kill him to avenge my junior brother!"

Gu Yunyun was extremely anxious. Why did you still chase after me?!

But the most urgent task now is to get Qi Shaoyu out of their current predicament. She swung her sword a few times, her attack becoming even more rapid, showing a reckless attitude.

With Qi Shaoyu keeping the other Huashan disciples occupied, Gu Yunyun felt much less pressure. She held her breath and focused intently, finding the weaknesses in her opponent's moves. Her attacks were ruthless, her longsword wielded with incredible speed, the sword light flashing like lightning.

However, the Huashan Sect Leader was no pushover either; the two were evenly matched and locked in a stalemate. On the other side, Qi Shaoyu single-handedly withstood the sword formation of the Huashan Sect disciples. His movements were agile and swift, his swordsmanship superb, yet he focused solely on defense, managing to defend flawlessly.

Even though the disciples of Mount Hua hated him for associating with evil sects and slaughtering righteous disciples, they had to admit that Qi Shaoyu's martial arts skills were indeed among the top of the younger generation in the martial arts world.

"Qi Shaoyu, are you really going to stoop so low?! If you surrender, we might consider giving you a lighter sentence!"

Qi Shaoyu smiled wryly, "I will clear up the many misunderstandings sooner or later. But I cannot back down today."

Although he could stop the Huashan disciples from interfering with Gu Yunyun, he was ultimately fighting against many people alone. Not wanting to take anyone's life, he was only going to keep resisting until he was exhausted. If this continued, he would definitely run out of energy, and Gu Yunyun, who was injured, probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long against the Huashan sect leader.
