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

Chapter 178: Conquering Xun’er, Rewarded with the Bloodline of a Dou Di!As Gu Xun’er was momentarily stunned, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: This man didn’t seem to be the type of lecherous hypocrite who flirted with everyone.

Gu He feigned an intention to leave, his moon-white robe stirring a gentle breeze, as he went to the front desk to book a room and pay the fees.

”One superior room!” the attendant at the front desk shouted.

Gu Xun’er, who had been paying attention to this side, couldn’t help but feel relieved: This person hadn’t come specifically for her.

Having stayed with the Xiao Family in Wutan City for many years, she had seen quite a few dissolute men attempt to stage a ”hero saves the beauty” act, hoping to win her heart.

Back then, she could see through it at a glance, and it would stir a trace of mockery in her heart; after all, her whole heart belonged to Brother Xiao Yan.

It was just that after Brother Xiao Yan died, the memories of her past in Wutan City had been buried deep within her.

Gu Xun’er saw that the man intended to find a seat to eat after booking his room, but all the surrounding tables were full, and he seemed to want to go out to eat; Gu Xun’er hesitated for a moment before speaking up: ”Young Master, wait.”

Her voice was faint, light and clear like a lotus, but being able to say it was already her greatest concession. After all, she had indeed been rude just a moment ago.

Gu He turned back, his gaze calm, waiting for Gu Xun’er to speak. He knew that at this moment, he had already seized the initiative.

Gu Xun’er said: ”Just eat at my table, it’s just a matter of adding a set of bowls and chopsticks.”

Gu He feigned hesitation, but still nodded: ”Alright, thank you.”

The Protector brought a new set of bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the table. After Gu He ordered two dishes, Gu Xun’er put down her chopsticks and asked: ”What is your name?”

Gu He naturally rinsed his chopsticks with tea water and said: ”My name is He Gu.”

Gu Xun’er raised an eyebrow, as if remembering something, and her hand under the table couldn’t help but clench into a fist. ”He Gu? Your name is He Gu?”

Gu He nodded naturally, ”He as in straw, Gu as in hometown, meaning spring returning to one’s hometown.” He looked curious, ”What’s wrong with my name?”

A trace of confusion flashed in Gu Xun’er’s eyes, and her beautiful, ebony-like eyes seemed to flicker with something. Her expression cooled slightly, losing the hint of warmth from just before, ”Do you know someone named Gu He?”

Gu Xun’er’s hand under the table had already begun to condense Fighting Qi, but she was still using her last bit of reason to suppress herself, to suppress her Killing Intent.

”Gu He? Is that the expert from the Central Plains?”

”A few months ago, I went to an ancient ruin of a Dou Sheng and saw him from afar...” Gu He’s eyes showed seriousness, as if such a thing had indeed happened.

”He obtained a Heaven Rank Dou Skill and seemed quite smug, with a few women following him...”

”However, I didn’t go up to find out more. Why, is he someone you know?”

Gu Xun’er stared at this He Gu. His gaze didn’t seem fake; it possessed a purity like clouds. Combined with his moon-white robe, he looked exactly like a young boy. Even, he gradually overlapped with the black-robed youth deep in Gu Xun’er’s memories...

Heh, what was she thinking? The man in front of her was just a stranger she had met once; the other was Brother Xiao Yan, who had nurtured her meridians when she was a child. Could the two even be compared??

Seeing that He Gu really didn’t seem to know Gu He, and moreover, He Gu was only a Ninth Revolution Dou Zun, not a Dou Sheng, Gu Xun’er’s anxious heart settled slightly.

”Heh, Gu He, that is my enemy.” She said coldly.

Gu Xun’er was worried that He Gu would continue to ask questions, making the situation even more awkward, but He Gu didn’t ask again. Instead, he pushed a plate of stir-fried taro in front of Gu Xun’er, ”Try this? I just had one, it’s delicious.”

Gu Xun’er frowned slightly and didn’t speak. One should not talk while eating or sleeping; she had actually only spoken after finishing her meal and putting down her chopsticks. He Gu seemed to have noticed her frown and added: ”It’s sweet, eating it will make you feel better.”

Sweet... Gu Xun’er silently repeated the word twice in her heart, then picked up her chopsticks with her jade-like hand and picked up a piece of taro.
