Seeing this, Gu Yuan frowned. The gauze curtain at the head of the bed slid down immediately, just covering Qin Lan's body.
"Get dressed before talking to me."
Qin Lan let out a coquettish laugh and said, "So even Third Master can be shy."
As she spoke, she picked up the pajamas at the head of the bed and put them on. Even the way she buttoned them exuded a fox - like charm. I, a woman, was fascinated, not to mention men.
After she tidied herself up, she gently got out of bed.
"My name is Hu Qingluan. I've come to pay my respects to Third Master."
Although she had put on the clothes, the pajamas were a bit short and could barely cover her private parts. Her snow - white thighs were extremely eye - catching.
Seeing that Gu Yuan didn't respond, Hu Qingluan's dark, charming eyes flitted around. She said aggrievedly, "Third Master, could we talk somewhere private? I'm shy with so many people staring at me."
Shy? I felt more embarrassed than her after hearing this. The way she was acting now made it seem as if we had forced her to take off her clothes. Her shyness was tinged with grievance.
Sure enough, as long as you're not embarrassed, it's others who will be.
Ji Xiang glanced at Third Master and quickly led all the onlookers out.
I also looked up at Gu Yuan. Just as I was about to go out with Ji Xiang, he pulled me back. Our hands intertwined and held tightly.
"You don't need to go out."
Hu Qingluan's charming eyes fell on our clasped hands and she said, "Hehe, so Third Master, this old tree, has finally blossomed? I once thought your heart was dead. Now it seems I thought too much."
Gu Yuan's eyes were still as cold as ever, unmoved by her words.
Suddenly, Hu Qingluan approached Third Master with a shy look in her eyes and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, you're so good - looking. I fall in love with you every time I see you. I'm so eager for you."
As she said this, she was about to reach out and grab Gu Yuan's arm, but I blocked her in front of him. "Just talk. Don't get handsy."
What Hu Qingluan said was indeed true. Gu Yuan's figure was enough to make anyone's heart flutter. Those who had experienced it would be addicted, let alone those who just yearned for it.
Gu Yuan didn't expect me to protect him. He looked down at me, making me feel extremely uncomfortable.
"I... I know you don't like people touching you when you're talking." I quickly explained and lowered my head, turning to the side.
Gu Yuan held my shoulders with both hands and said, "Just stand here. It's fine."
"Hu Qingluan, speak up. What's this feud about?" Gu Yuan showed no interest in Hu Qingluan's coquettish posturing. Instead, he had a look of disgust on his face.
"I'm avenging Third Master. Thanks to Third Master's rescue back then, I survived."
"I didn't mean to save you. Don't thank me."
"Giggle, Third Master, don't be so modest. No matter who intended to save me, it was still you who did it in the end."
I raised one eyebrow and looked at her, feeling a bit envious. How did she manage to look so charming? I really wanted to learn.
Hu Qingluan continued, "The other day when I passed by Longcheng University, I accidentally saw those two siblings bullying you, so I wanted to teach her a lesson."
There was a flaw in Hu Qingluan's words. If she wanted to teach them a lesson, why didn't she do it herself at that time? Wouldn't that have increased Gu Yuan's favor towards her?
Instead, she waited until the next day and sent those fox demons to find Qin Lan. This didn't seem to make sense.
"Was the fox shadow on Qin Lan that day yours?" I asked.
"Little girl, don't interrupt when I'm talking to Third Master. Be careful or you'll get a beating." Hu Qingluan pouted and looked at Gu Yuan cutely.
I bit my lip and didn't say anything else.
Gu Yuan stood behind me and said in a deep voice, "She's my disciple. When she speaks, it's as if I'm speaking."
I looked sideways at Gu Yuan's jawline. He was actually speaking up for me. I felt warm inside.
Hu Qingluan shrugged her shoulders and didn't dare to refute.
Gu Yuan nodded slightly, signaling me to continue.
"I guess you've had a feud with their family for a long time. You just endured it and didn't take revenge because you're a fairy."
Hu Qingluan didn't expect me to say this. Her charming face froze for a moment, and her smile gradually faded.
It seemed I was right. I continued my analysis...
Probably, when she saw Qin Lan and her brother offending Gu Yuan at the school gate, she thought her chance had come.
She wanted to use the pretext of avenging Gu Yuan to settle her own family's private feud.
Because Third Master had high prestige, other spiritual mediums wouldn't dare to take this business if they heard it was Third Master's revenge.
When the Qin family was at a loss, they would have to turn to Third Master to handle the matter.
It was a really clever plan. She could not only avenge Third Master but also avenge her family's fox demons.
And Gu Yuan wouldn't blame her. Maybe he would even take the blame for her and she wouldn't be blamed by the higher - level immortals.
After hearing my analysis, Hu Qingluan let out a deep sigh. The smile on her face disappeared completely, and her expression became more and more gloomy, with a hidden gnashing of teeth.
"Hu Qingluan, I want to hear the truth." Gu Yuan finally spoke.
Hu Qingluan blinked her eyes and slightly hooked the corner of her mouth, then she told the real reason for her revenge.
Many years ago, before the Qin family's house was demolished, they were in the breeding business. They specifically bred foxes artificially to sell their fur.
Because there were so many foxes, the smell was extremely strong during the mating season. Several foxes from Hu Qingluan's family that hadn't fully transformed into human form smelled the odor and sneaked in.
They were caught red - handed by Qin He. Seeing that these foxes were beautiful, he caught them and fed them well, making them breeding foxes. They had to breed foxes day and night.
After the Qin family's foxes were bred with these few foxes, the newborn foxes all had shiny fur and thick hair. They were all top - quality materials for making fur.
Before the demolition, the Qin family had already made a fortune.
Later, when they heard that this area was going to be demolished, they didn't plan to continue the breeding business, so they planned to get rid of these foxes.
The few breeding foxes from Hu Qingluan's family had a dream for Qin He, hoping that he would spare their lives.
But instead of sparing them, Qin He killed them with his own hands. He sold their fur and ate their meat.
After the foxes died, their souls found Hu Qingluan to complain and hoped that she would avenge them. They wanted their children to experience what it was like to be breeding foxes.
But after Third Master saved her, she listened to Third Master's words and established a spiritual medium hall. She couldn't act recklessly anymore.
However, she had always remembered this feud and endured it for more than a decade. Until a few days ago, the opportunity came.
At first, she just wanted to give a small punishment. She planned to torture his daughter for a few days. After Gu Yuan came, she would end it as a favor to him.
Who would have thought that they would find an exorcist who killed several fox demons without asking the reason. How could she let this go?
They definitely had to pay a price.
After Hu Qingluan finished speaking, her body separated from Qin Lan's. Only then did I see Hu Qingluan's true appearance.
She was wearing a long red strapless dress. Her shoulders were exposed, and her cleavage was faintly visible.
A head of long black wavy hair hung on one side. Her charming eyes were full of temptation. She was truly beautiful and full of charm. She was clearly a woman with a story.
"Third Master, we were once engaged. You won't refuse to help me, will you?"
Engaged? How many love debts does Gu Yuan have?
