Doupo: Rebirth of Gu He, Starting with a Strategy to Win Over Yun Yun

Chapter 40: Little Fairy Doctor Turns Slightly Dark, Qing Lin Loses Her MemoryAfter handling the affairs of the Mo family, Gu He returned to pick up Qing Lin.

He instructed Nalan Yanran to return to the Sect to report the situation, and wrote down the medicinal herbs needed for the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill for Hai Bodong, telling him to make an effort to find them.

Immediately after, he took Qing Lin onto the Flying Beast and set off to return to his home in Jia Ma Holy City.

Gu He’s mansion.

The sound of rain pattered rhythmically.

Xiao Yi Xian, dressed in purple robes and holding a white oil-paper umbrella, stood at the entrance, looking forward in anticipation.

Gu He had sent a message via Qi, telling her he would return, which had made her so excited that she prepared half a table of poisonous dishes and half a table of normal dishes.

She had recently read some storybooks about generals who had just gotten married but had to go off to the battlefield, only to return three years later accompanied by a woman in white.

The general would look at the woman in white with deep affection, then turn to his original wife and say, ”For these past three years, without her, there would be no me...”

”You should leave; the position of the general’s wife can only be hers...”

”I am sorry to you, but she is the one I love!”

Xiao Yi Xian’s thoughts flashed by, and recalling the contents of the storybook, she couldn’t help but bite her lip.

If Gu He also brought another woman back, then she... she would eat all the normal dishes on his table and let him go hungry!

High in the curtain of rain, a black figure jumped off the Flying Beast and stepped onto the Void Realm. The surrounding raindrops automatically avoided him, as if isolated from them, leaving him completely spotless.

Xiao Yi Xian looked up at the newcomer, her eyes sparkling.

Gu He’s mature and handsome face appeared. She wanted to rush forward in joy, but her sharp eyes noticed that he was holding someone in his arms.

! Heavens!

Xiao Yi Xian felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her water-like beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.

”Teacher...”

Gu He arrived in front of her carrying Qing Lin, and only then did she snap out of it.

She looked at the face of the person in his arms; she was younger than her, her eyes tightly shut as if in deep sleep, with a look of innocent childishness on her face.

The clothes she wore were slightly strange, not like those of an ordinary girl, but she was thoughtfully covered with a blanket to keep her body warm.

”Who is she...?” Xiao Yi Xian couldn’t help but murmur.

She subconsciously stood on her tiptoes and held her umbrella high to shield Gu He from the rain, only to realize belatedly that Gu He would not be touched by the rain.

Xiao Yi Xian silently lowered the umbrella and closed it; she didn’t want to hold it anymore either.

Gu He watched her strange actions and asked, ”What’s wrong? Getting rained on is no fun.”

At the Dou Master level, one can manifest a gauze garment, which can be used for combat and defense, and also has the effect of interacting with physical objects, so it has another daily function—blocking rain.

Xiao Yi Xian was at the Dou Practitioner level, so she still needed to hold an umbrella.

”You... do you not need me anymore?”

Xiao Yi Xian lowered her head, not wanting to look at Gu He, nor at the person in his arms.

”Is it that my Cultivate speed is too slow, or my progress in Alchemy is too slow...?”

Gu He sighed softly. Why did Xiao Yi Xian’s tone sound so much like a teenage girl?

Asking her boyfriend, do you love me? Or, do you still love me at all?

”After the long journey, I’m a bit hungry... You wouldn’t want me to keep doing weightlifting at the door, would you?”

The expression on Xiao Yi Xian’s lowered head darkened, and a flash of shadow crossed her eyes.

Teacher, are you not even going to explain to me who she is? Or are you... too lazy to even explain?

”Hmm.”

Xiao Yi Xian didn’t hold the umbrella, walked into the curtain of rain, crossed the courtyard, and entered the room.

Gu He looked at her lonely back, pondered for a moment, and quickly followed.

In the side courtyard room.

Gu He placed Qing Lin on the bed and tucked her in.

Xiao Yi Xian watched his careful movements, her gaze sweeping past the drizzle outside the window, standing silently without making a sound.

Afterward, a large hand covered with a clean towel rubbed her head, carrying the warmth and medicinal fragrance she was familiar with.

It was Teacher!

Xiao Yi Xian looked up, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Gu He, her slightly curled eyelashes like two joyful butterflies.

”Teacher!” She called out to Gu He sweetly, just as she always did, showing no signs of anything unusual.

Gu He carefully dried her hair that had just been dampened by the rain, and while wringing out the wet strands, he said, ”Remember to take a hot bath later.”

Xiao Yi Xian pursed her lips and said nothing.

After Gu He finished drying her hair, he gently pressed on her shoulders, having her sit down on a wooden stool.

”The person I just brought back is named Qing Lin; she has a Snake-Person Bloodline, and her eyes are the rare Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.”

”I accepted a Sect mission and was ordered to clear the Sect of traitors, so I killed the person in charge of the Mo family, Mo Cheng, in Yan City. Their family is now as chaotic as ants on a hot pan, and those merchants in Yan City are eager to take a bite.”

Gu He said slowly, ”And I killed him because he specialized in capturing innocent people with special physical organs for experiments. The girl I brought back is one of the victims.”

”Her name is Qing Lin. Because she is a human-snake hybrid, she didn’t have a very good childhood; she is quite pitiful... and she had nowhere to go, so I brought her back.”

Listening to Gu He’s earnest explanation, Xiao Yi Xian blinked, then looked at the person lying on the bed.

Indeed... she was quite pitiful.

She touched her own chest.

She was a physician!

After being a physician for so long, healing hearts, with a mission of kindness, she would actually... be jealous of others.

Xiao Yi Xian gave a low ”Hmm,” indicating she understood.

Gu He saw her listless appearance and began to use his Qi to slowly dry the remaining water on her hair that he couldn’t wipe away.

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head, ”Teacher, there’s no need to trouble yourself... I’ll just go take a bath.”

Gu He smiled, ”Are you not eating? I saw it when I passed through the hall, a table full of dishes!”

”I can’t finish them all by myself!”

Xiao Yi Xian asked blankly, ”Are you not watching over her?”

Gu He was both annoyed and amused, ”I just want to eat with you right now!”

Xiao Yi Xian hid the gloom in her eyes, looked up with a smile, ”Heh, then Teacher, let’s go quickly!”

She took Gu He’s large hand, glanced at Qing Lin on the bed, and skipped out of the room, looking as she always did.

But Xiao Yi Xian knew that something was growing in her heart.

Inexplicably... radiating evil.

Late at night.

In the room where Qing Lin was sleeping, there was an extra purple figure standing there.

The figure came to the bedside and sat down gently.

By the moonlight, one could clearly see it was Xiao Yi Xian’s face.

She raised her finger and traced Qing Lin’s face, then gently lifted her right eyelid, looking at the three small black dots on it that looked like petals,

”The person Teacher picked up from the Yageer Desert...”

”She really is extraordinary.”

Although Gu He explained to her that Qing Lin was brought back by the Mo family in Yan City, she recognized Qing Lin’s clothing; it was the kind of clothing only people in the desert would wear.

It looked like a maid’s outfit, but it was more exquisite than a maid’s.

Gu He shouldn’t be lying to her, which could only mean that this girl was previously a resident of the desert.

Xiao Yi Xian slowly withdrew her hand and murmured, ”Really like a flower shaken out of the desert...”

Even without opening her eyes, while in deep sleep, she could make people feel the purity within her.

But at this moment, a pair of eyes opened.

Qing Lin looked at Xiao Yi Xian and asked blankly, ”Big sister, what flower?”

Xiao Yi Xian was startled and stood up in a panic,

”You, you’re awake?”

”I’ll go call Teacher!”

Qing Lin reached out from under the blanket and pressed her temples, ”Teacher...?”

Xiao Yi Xian, who had turned to call someone, was already at the door. Hearing Qing Lin’s murmur, her step as she crossed the threshold paused, and she added firmly, ”He is my Teacher!”

Qing Lin looked at her departing back with clear eyes and sat up, still a bit confused.

She remembered... she was from Stone Desert City, a maid of the Xiao Family of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group...

Where was this? How did she get here?
