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

Chapter 117 Tang Huo’er: It’s love at first sight.Chapter 117: Tang Huo’er: It’s a Heartbeat~

Suddenly, a commotion broke out outside the Dou Technique Pavilion.

”Gu He, get out here!” a coarse young male voice rang out, carrying a hint of resentment and impatience.

Tang Huo’er and Gu He stepped forward a few paces on the second-floor corridor, getting a clear view of the situation below the Dou Technique Pavilion.

Dressed in red, a furious Wu Chen stood below, looking up at the pavilion. Upon seeing Gu He’s Face, his anger flared even more; his white hair seemed to stand on end like wild grass, bristling with rage.

”Get down here! Our Burning Flame Valley’s Dou Technique Pavilion isn’t a place just anyone can enter!”

Wu Chen was the Third Elder of Burning Flame Valley; here, there were very few people stronger than him.

Consequently, he had developed an overbearing and arrogant demeanor.

Below, Elder Mu was blocking Wu Chen, preventing him from entering.

”Lord Gu He entered with Valley Master Tang’s approval!” He almost explicitly stated that the Valley Master was also inside.

But Wu Chen clearly didn’t care about that.

”If you don’t come down, you’re a coward! I heard the Valley Master plans to pass the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations to you. If you can’t even beat me, don’t even dream about it!”

Hearing this arrogant voice carried far by Dou Qi, Tang Huo’er felt a bit angry.

”Mr. Gu He, I am truly sorry. It is our Burning Flame Valley’s lack of discipline and poor management of subordinates.”

Although Wu Chen was of a higher generation than her, she utterly detested his style and actions.

However, Wu Chen did not think that way.

In Wu Chen’s mind, he was a good man who had taken it upon himself to shoulder a bad reputation.

Valley Master Tang had a temporary lapse in judgment by handing a secret technique to an outsider; his own reputation might suffer, but as long as he could stop this, it didn’t matter.

How could the top-tier Cultivation Techniques of Burning Flame Valley be taken away so easily by others? After all, even he had gone through layers of assessment and had even faced obstruction from many parties for various reasons before obtaining a small part of the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations Legacy.

And now you’re telling him that someone could reach his finish line without lifting a finger?

”Get out here!” Wu Chen gave Elder Mu some Face and did not force his way in.

Just then, the doors of the Dou Technique Pavilion shuddered and were pushed open.

”Looking for me, are you?”

Gu He stepped forward, his robes rustling in the fierce wind, while Tang Huo’er cautiously slipped behind Wu Chen.

Although Tang Huo’er knew her strength could not compare to Elder Wu Chen, she could not ignore this situation.

Xiao Yi Xian was on the third floor absorbing the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations and could not be paused or interrupted, while Valley Master Tang Zhen, as the head of the valley, had to supervise from the side. Now, only she could slightly control the situation.

Tang Huo’er took on this responsibility without hesitation, her beautiful eyes fixed on Wu Chen with a faint air of heroism.

”Heh, so you do have the guts to come out!” Wu Chen said coldly.

His white hair moved without wind; as he stood with his hands behind his back, he actually took on a slight air of an expert.

”Since a Senior has invited me, I shall naturally fight,” Gu He replied calmly, quickly creating a suitable distance for combat.

In front of the Dou Technique Pavilion was a small stone-brick platform, and further ahead grew many green bamboos; for a moment, the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves drifted into the nostrils.

Wu Chen let out a snort. He didn’t develop any favorable impression of Gu He due to his decisive acceptance of the challenge. Instead, he efficiently allowed his thick Dou Qi to cover his entire body.

The billowing Dou Qi was like a burning flame, dyeing the air a fiery red.

Wu Chen’s originally ordinary eyes now flickered with a piercing light.

Heh.

He, Wu Chen, was an Eight-Star Dou Zong. Looking at the entire Central Plains, he was definitely ranked among the first-class experts!

He stomped his foot hard, and a stone slab instantly shattered. Immediately, his ghostly figure became like a flash of lightning, bringing a low sonic boom as he rapidly disappeared from his spot.

A roar echoed from the air—

”Taiyi Fire Luo Talisman!”

Following his roar, the mysterious fiery red runic light in his palm instantly surged.

Next, with a tremor, the rune actually detached from Wu Chen’s palm, transforming into a startling rainbow light.

This rainbow light carried a terrifying energy capable of shaking space, sweeping down toward Gu He as fast as lightning!

Gu He flicked his finger.

Sigh, another one with a long casting time.

By the time you finish your spell, I’ll have finished the tower.

Cyan-white flames, like cyan frost flowers, blossomed instantly at the collision of the two attacks. Between the rainbow colors, the fierce icy frost flowers were like a jasmine rain in a snowy village, dazzlingly beautiful and eye-catching.

Well, being strong is also good-looking.

Wu Chen was directly sent flying by the primary shockwave.

Meanwhile, Tang Huo’er stood safely in place under the protective shield Gu He had carefully generated, her red clothes not even fluttering.

Dressed in red, Tang Huo’er’s eyes were now filled with amazement.

Beautiful, so beautiful!

Gu He’s simple strike seemed like an extremely profound chemical experiment, gathering the might of heaven and earth, with sparks flying during the collision.

Dressed in black, Gu He smiled with a carefree air, his temperament peerless.

At this moment, the setting sun happened to slant down, its lingering light pulsing like a thin layer of gold gently covering everything.

Looking at the proudly standing Gu He, Tang Huo’er’s mind rippled like the green waves of the sea in midsummer.

”Mr. Gu He...”

Amidst the slight swaying of red leaves and green bamboo, Tang Huo’er’s heart rate suddenly accelerated.

This was a feeling she had never experienced before. Although she was the daughter of the Burning Flame Valley Master, she had almost never left this small valley, so the people and things that caught her heart were naturally few.

This feeling...

Could it be the kind of feeling Father had for Mother?

Those ’won’t marry anyone but her’ or ’won’t marry anyone but him’ stories...

Wu Chen had already fallen and couldn’t get up. Seeing Gu He’s indifferent gaze, he simply played dead, clearly not wanting to admit defeat or Face the situation.

He came for the sake of Face, yet he couldn’t even reclaim his dignity.

But his situation did not affect Tang Huo’er’s perception of Gu He.

Tang Huo’er had lost her mother at a young age and was raised single-handedly by her father, Valley Master Tang Zhen.

In their daily interactions and teachings, her father was inevitably a bit strict. Although this forged her valiant personality, it could not hide the lack of security in her heart.

At this moment, Gu He...

Was walking toward her with a steady pace.

Tang Huo’er stood in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Gu He walked over with a smile and asked her, ”Huoer, what are you thinking about?”

”Don’t worry about him. He is your Elder, I wouldn’t beat him to the point of something happening. I have a sense of proportion.”

Hearing Gu He’s considerate explanation, Tang Huo’er’s heart was in a mess.

Heartbeat... can it really not be expressed in words?

Tang Huo’er didn’t know how charmingly naive and unrestrained her beautiful Face looked at this moment.

But Gu He’s gaze deepened slightly.

Thinking Tang Huo’er was worried about how to explain to her father, he took out a jade bottle.

”Top-quality healing pills, for you.” Gu He gently grasped Tang Huo’er’s feather-white wrist and placed the bottle in her palm.

”To help you report back,” Gu He added warmly.

Tang Huo’er looked up at Gu He. His height advantage did not give her a sense of pressure; instead, it provided a full sense of security.

Like a spring breeze brushing over one’s Face...

”Mm, thank you, Mr. Gu He...” Tang Huo’er composed herself for a moment and lowered her head with a faint smile.

The bamboo forest was tranquil, and the view was lush green.
