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

Chapter 88 Eighth-Rank Alchemist, Han Xue is Shocked!”Is Mr. a sixth-rank Alchemist?” Han Xue asked.

Facing Han Xue’s crisp voice and question, Mr. Gu He replied indifferently,

”I am but a Seventh-Rank Alchemist.”

Seventh-Rank!!!

Han Xue opened her small mouth in surprise, her face full of astonishment, looking extremely beautiful.

The Han Family’s chief Alchemist was only a fifth-rank, and even then, whenever the Family head met him, they would be very polite and respectful.

A sixth-rank Alchemist was a rare existence across the entire Tianbei City, and a seventh-rank existence was even more unique.

Hearing this, Han Xue couldn’t help but gasp, secretly thinking how terrifying it was. What kind of behemoth had she encountered!!!

”Mr. Gu He, you are too modest...” A bitter smile hung on Han Xue’s face.

She looked up at the plaque on the city gate in the distance and asked,

”Mr., could we talk inside the carriage?”

”Hmm.” Mr. Gu He nodded.

The two entered Han Xue’s carriage.

Inside the carriage, although small, a faint fragrance lingered.

Many pink ornaments hung around, decorating the carriage to look like a temporary little boudoir.

It was hard to imagine that Han Xue, who looked quite cold on the outside, also had a bit of a girlish mindset in her heart...

Inside the carriage, on a soft blanket.

Han Xue earnestly poured a cup of tea for Mr. Gu He, and slightly awkwardly, she gently pushed it in front of Mr. Gu He,

”Mr. Gu He, please.”

Mr. Gu He held the teacup, feeling the faint warmth on it and the lingering scent of her robes,

He lifted his eyes slightly,

”Speak directly, Young Miss Han Xue, there is no need to beat around the bush with me.”

The carriage drove into the city, and the road was very smooth.

Listening to Mr. Gu He’s steady voice, Han Xue’s fair, pretty face suddenly turned red, as if she were drunk,

”Then... alright then.”

”Then I will say it...!”

Han Xue’s jade hand rubbed the teapot, and after a moment, she finally mustered the courage to say:

”Mr. Gu He, I wonder if I could ask for your help?”

”Is it about the Han Family and the Hong Family?” Mr. Gu He ”clinked” and gently set down the teacup in his hand, his voice indifferent.

Han Xue bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, listening to Mr. Gu He’s magnetic voice, and gently nodded.

”Yes, this is what I wanted to say.”

”Mr., you also know that the Hong Family has dominated Tianbei City for many years, their strength is very strong, and they even have connections with the Wind and Thunder Pavilion... Now they have targeted our Han Family, and I am afraid... it will be an endless struggle!!”

”Mr. Gu He is a Seventh-Rank Alchemist...” Han Xue said in a soft voice:

”A high-ranking Alchemist, even a behemoth like the Hong Family would not dare to easily offend. If you are willing to help, the Han Family will certainly be able to relax a lot, and perhaps we can successfully overcome this difficulty...!”

Mr. Gu He lifted his eyes slightly, his deep eyes looking at the pleading and urgency on Han Xue’s cheeks, as well as a trace of shyness,

He took another sip of the red tea.

Han Xue watched Mr. Gu He remain silent, but he did not interrupt her, making her heart extremely anxious, as if countless ants were gnawing at it,

”Young Miss Han Xue’s tea-making skills need improvement.” Mr. Gu He slowly and calmly uttered such a sentence.

Upon hearing this, Han Xue’s small face turned even redder,

She was the Young Miss of the Han Family, naturally living in luxury since childhood, and things like making tea and pouring tea were generally left to maidservants. Being told this by Mr. Gu He, she was immediately embarrassed,

”I... I will continue to learn! I will learn tea art and the Dao of tea when I go back!”

”Mr. Gu He... so can you...?”

Han Xue’s words were unfinished, but Mr. Gu He already understood her meaning.

”I can agree to it.” Mr. Gu He said indifferently.

His mature face looked at Han Xue, like a well-prepared masterpiece.

”But I am only agreeing to this request because of you, not because of your Han Family.” Mr. Gu He explained in a light voice, ”This is a private matter, a promise between you and me.”

Han Xue’s eyes immediately lit up, like a small light bulb in a dim room,

”Okay! Mr. Gu He!”

Han Xue’s heart surged with a thousand thoughts,

Clearly, they were strangers just a month ago,

Yet the roasted meat over the past month and the two critical interventions had directly stolen Han Xue’s heart!!

Moreover, Mr. Gu He told her that this was their private matter and a promise...

A Seventh-Rank Alchemist’s promise, plus two ”life-saving graces,” Han Xue simply had no way to repay them!

Suddenly, the carriage jolted, as if it had a tendency to stop suddenly,

”Pop—”

A slight sound of lips rubbing against each other rang out clearly as sparks flew from the carriage wheels.

Han Xue, carrying a room full of warmth and fragrance, leaned close to Mr. Gu He; their bodies were almost pressed together, and their lips touched,

The sudden action made Mr. Gu He unable to resist gripping Han Xue’s slender waist, and he couldn’t help but peck her,

Han Xue immediately dodged her eyes, moving her face to try to avoid it.

Subsequently, she immediately felt a large hand covering her sensitive waist, the large hand supporting her waist, refusing to let go.

”Mr.... Gu He!” Han Xue couldn’t help but whisper.

Mr. Gu He indifferently removed his hand that was supporting Han Xue’s slender waist, looked at the carriage floor, and said as if explaining,

”The carriage stopped suddenly, I was afraid you would fall.” Mr. Gu He said very righteously.

And Han Xue looked at his deep eyes and couldn’t think of any other reason.

After all, Mr. Gu He had both looks and cultivation, and was also a hot-commodity Alchemist; there must be countless women who wanted to marry him. Would he take advantage of a young woman from a small Han Family like her?

This was impossible no matter how one thought about it!!

Han Xue ”hmm”ed, the shyness on her face not having time to fade away.

She lifted the curtain and looked outside the carriage,

”What’s wrong? Why did it stop?”

The Han Family was located in the southern part of Tianbei City, and opposite to it was the Hong Family, which occupied the north.

These two Families were like two Dominators of this city, the two sides dividing this city into two distinct halves, while other Families were like plankton.

Their carriage team was returning to the Han Family’s manor this time, and it would take at least half an hour to travel on the roads extending in all directions before they could arrive.

As a result, halfway there, the carriage team suddenly stopped.

Han Chong immediately came over to report,

”It’s Han Lin!”

Han Xue immediately breathed a sigh of relief,

So it was their own people! As long as it wasn’t an accident, it was fine... Han Xue’s requirements were very low.

Han Xue and Mr. Gu He got out of the carriage together, and the sound of horse hooves from the opposite side also stopped,

Han Lin, dressed in tight clothing, frowned after seeing a spirited man standing next to Han Xue, whom he liked.

”Sister Xue, this... who is this? He seems very unfamiliar? Could he also be a guard of our Han Family?”

Han Lin was soured by the scene of the two getting off the carriage together, his heart full of jealousy, so he didn’t think about other situations at all.

”Han Lin, show some respect to my guest! How could Mr. Gu He be a guard!”

”He is a guest advisor I invited for the Han Family! If you talk nonsense again, don’t blame me for turning against you!”

Han Xue glared with a pair of beautiful eyes, very much like a female snow leopard, clawing at the ice and snow on the ground.
