After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 100

But Yun Dan wasn’t the type of person who was completely unreasonable.

After thinking for a long time, she managed to calm down.

“Forget it, what happened yesterday wasn’t really Xiao Yueqing’s fault. He was trying to save me after all. The real culprit is that mastermind behind the scenes. I never thought they wouldn’t leave me alone even after I came to the Tang Sect.”

Yun Dan’s first instinct wasn’t to suspect Tang Aotian.

Whether or not he was a victim remained to be seen, but this matter was likely connected to Tang Huairou.

Only Tang Huairou hated her that much.

However, how did she end up outside with Xiao Yueqing yesterday? Why did it feel like she had forgotten many things?

Yun Dan tried very hard to recall, but couldn’t remember no matter how hard she tried.

It was as if a segment of her memory had been erased.

“Forget it. If I can’t remember, then I won’t think about it. Better to focus on how to stay alive going forward.”

Actually, she didn’t lose out too much in this incident.

After all, as someone born and raised in modern times, she didn’t care that much about chastity and such things.

In any case, she could still live her life after returning.

Moreover, she belatedly realized that Xiao Yueqing seemed to be the one who lost out more.

She had slept with the number one handsome man!

“By the way, Death-Courting System, what’s Xiao Yueqing’s favorability toward me now?”

[Query results: Target character Xiao Yueqing’s favorability is 60%]

“What the— it increased that much? It was only 40% before, and now it’s jumped straight to 60%. Didn’t Eileen Chang say that certain things would be a path to the soul? Why does it seem reversed for us?”

(TL: 張愛玲 (Zhang Ailing / Eileen Chang) = a famous 20th-century Chinese novelist)

Yun Dan couldn’t quite articulate her feelings about Xiao Yueqing.

But the magnitude of the increase in his favorability really shocked her.

After daybreak, Yan Ke finally knocked on her door.

“Miss Yun, are you awake? It’s me, Yan Ke. I heard you drank too much last night, so I came to check on you.”

Yun Dan quickly wiped away her tears and straightened her clothes before jumping down from the bed to open the door.

However, as soon as she landed, she felt intense pain.

“Hiss… Looks like I can’t run around and jump carelessly.”

They always say that every pencil lead has its matching pencil.

This must be a 0.35mm pencil encountering a 0.5mm lead.

With great difficulty, she opened the door. Yan Ke outside seemed to have a rather poor complexion.

“Huh, Young Master Yan Ke, didn’t you sleep well? You look like you’re not feeling great.”

Yan Ke smiled somewhat awkwardly and explained, “Last night I was forced to drink too much. Although I expelled most of it using my internal energy, I still have a hangover headache.”

During last night’s banquet, Yun Dan had been huddled in a corner eating, so she hadn’t paid much attention.

However, she did remember that every time she looked up toward that area, she noticed a group of people toasting Yan Ke.

It seemed that being too famous wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

“I forgot that you’re their guest, so naturally you’d be quite popular. Hangovers do cause headaches—remember to drink some sobering soup.”

“I already did. But you don’t look well either. Is there… something wrong with your body?”

Yun Dan quickly waved her hands to explain that there wasn’t.

She couldn’t very well tell Yan Ke about what had happened to her yesterday.

She herself needed to forget about this matter as quickly as possible so her heart could feel more at ease.

After they had both finished eating, Yan Ke finally spoke, “Do you know that assassins attacked the Tang Sect last night? The Old Madam and Old Master were injured. I heard that Tang Huairou intends to frame you for this. She said you weren’t in your room last night.”

Yun Dan rubbed her forehead, thinking about how unlucky she was.

What happened to her yesterday clearly involved Tang Huairou’s participation.

Yet now she was turning the tables and falsely accusing her of being an assassin.

She really was capable of such things.

“But I don’t know martial arts. How could I possibly be an assassin? When Tang Huairou framed me, didn’t she consider this point?”

Yan Ke shook his head, not agreeing with her assessment.

“No, you need to understand that this is the Tang Sect, and she’s a member of the Tang Sect. Her words naturally carry much more weight than yours. Even if we all know you don’t know martial arts, if the Tang Sect intends to frame you, they can certainly bribe the people who examine you and falsely claim you’re a master. Do you think you can contend with the Tang Sect?”

Yun Dan hadn’t realized they could fabricate evidence like this.

“But I’m really not an assassin. What should I do?”

The other reason Yan Ke came today was because he knew Tang Huairou intended to frame Yun Dan.

“I do have a solution. When those people question you, just tell them you were at my place yesterday. Because I drank too much and needed someone to take care of me, I asked you to come care for me all night, so you didn’t leave. This is the only way.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Dan thought it wouldn’t work.

Wouldn’t this ruin his reputation too?

“That won’t do, Young Master Yan Ke. Saying that would directly destroy your reputation. I can’t do that.”

“But this is currently the only solution, so it must be done, do you understand? You just need to insist that you were with me yesterday. You don’t need to say anything else—I’ll handle the rest.”

Actually, taking a step back, Yun Dan really had spent the entire night with him yesterday.

It’s just that at the time, he was still Xiao Yueqing.

So regarding Tang Huairou’s attempt to frame Yun Dan, Yan Ke was naturally especially angry.

After calming down, Yun Dan actually knew this was the only solution.

Suddenly, a series of footsteps sounded outside the door. Yun Dan instinctively and alertly stood up.

Yan Ke moved ahead of her, blocking her behind him.

The people coming from outside were none other than Tang Huairou and her group.

Seeing Yan Ke protecting Yun Dan so protectively, Tang Huairou felt even more furious inside.

But she still maintained her composure and said, “Young Master Yan Ke, the person behind you is a suspect in the assassination. Why not hand her over to me? If after interrogation we find she’s not an assassin, we’ll naturally let her go unharmed.”

Yan Ke naturally wouldn’t listen to Tang Huairou.

“Miss Tang says my fiancée is an assassin—do you have any evidence?”

As soon as the words “my fiancée” came out, almost everyone present gasped.

Especially Tang Huairou, whose eyes filled with fury.

“When did she become your fiancée? How come I didn’t know? Furthermore, she wasn’t in her room all last night, and my grandparents were attacked. Who do you think did this? Is there no connection at all?”

Yan Ke seemed to have anticipated that Tang Huairou would say this.

He reached out and put his arm around Yun Dan’s waist before saying, “Last night your people forced me to drink quite a lot. Even after I expelled part of it using my internal energy, I still felt a headache, so I asked my fiancée to come care for me. Is there anything wrong with that?

She wasn’t in her own room last night because she was in my room caring for me all night. Is there a problem? She came to the Tang Sect with me all along. My fiancée and I being in one room—I don’t think that’s any of your business, is it?”
