After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 105

Dongfang Wuchen nodded.

But what he was thinking in his heart was that he was very pleased by how Yun Dan had just defended him and the things she had said.

Moreover, he always felt that he really enjoyed being with her.

He turned his head to glance at Yun Dan again, thinking to himself that she must also care about him as a friend, right?

[Ding—— Dongfang Wuchen’s affection level increased by 20%, current affection level is 50%]

Yun Dan had just bought a candied hawthorn skewer and had taken a bite.

Hearing this sudden notification sound, she instantly started coughing and choked.

Dongfang Wuchen also found it baffling—he didn’t seem to have said anything just now, so how did she start coughing like this? He gently patted her back to help her catch her breath.

After quite a while, Yun Dan finally felt like she had come back to life.

She patted her chest, thinking to herself that she had almost died right then and there because of this candied hawthorn.

Could this system please not be so frightening next time?

The Court Death System also felt wronged.

[But player, the affection level just suddenly surged. My duty is to report affection levels to the player in real-time]

“But you can’t scare me like this. Do you know that just now, because of your notification sound, I was so startled I nearly choked to death on this candied hawthorn? If I died so pathetically here like this, all the suffering I’ve endured wouldn’t have been worth it.”

[Oh]

Yun Dan couldn’t help but want to roll her eyes.

Forget it, why was she arguing with something that couldn’t even be considered alive?

However, fortunately Yun Dan was someone who knew how to console herself.

Now Dongfang Wuchen’s affection level was at 50%, but the good news was that Xiao Yueqing’s affection level was at 60%.

This time, her conquest target’s affection level was finally higher than Dongfang Wuchen’s.

But along the way, Yun Dan was actually reflecting.

She didn’t understand what exactly she had said or done to make Dongfang Wuchen’s affection level suddenly surge by 20%.

That was 20%!

How ridiculous!

To avoid this unstable affection level, Yun Dan decided that for the rest of the journey, she should just keep her mouth shut.

Little did she know that two people had been following them the entire time, watching until they entered the Tang Sect.

Those two people hurriedly turned back to report this information to their master.

“Young Miss, your subordinate saw that man and woman enter the Tang Sect.”

The person sitting above was none other than the one who had thrown the embroidered ball earlier.

“Oh, the Tang Sect? Ha, I didn’t know that the Tang Sect had such a handsome man. Even if he’s from the Tang Sect, as long as I, Helan Xue, have set my eyes on him, he won’t escape from my grasp.”

The Helan family was also considered a local tyrant in Sichuan.

This had therefore cultivated Helan Xue’s character.

She couldn’t really say she liked Dongfang Wuchen that much, but once she had set her eyes on him, that was that.

Anyway, Father had said she needed to bring home a live-in son-in-law this year, and she didn’t fancy any of those ugly men, which was why she had thrown the embroidered ball to Dongfang Wuchen.

She hadn’t expected this person to be so tactless.

Especially that woman by his side—she was the most detestable!

The more Helan Xue thought about it, the angrier she got. She swept her sleeve and knocked everything on the table to the floor.

“Find a way to kidnap that woman when she’s alone. I don’t believe that man won’t come to save her. Then I’ll force him to become a live-in son-in-law of the Helan family, or else I’ll kill that woman.”

After returning to her room, Yun Dan sneezed several times in a row.

She rubbed her nose and couldn’t help but complain, “What’s going on? Why do I keep sneezing? Could it be that someone is deliberately cursing me?”

But Yun Dan didn’t take it completely seriously.

After all, who would have thought that there was a Helan Xue cursing her and even wanting her life?

At midnight, Yun Dan felt somewhat thirsty and got up to pour herself a glass of water.

However, after taking a sip, she saw a black shadow flash past outside.

Yun Dan instinctively became alert, thinking to herself how there could be someone outside the courtyard at this hour—could this black shadow be an assassin?

She remembered that just yesterday someone had attacked the Tang Sect, causing the Old Madam and Old Master to be injured, and she had almost been treated as a suspect.

But thinking it over, Yun Dan felt it would be better not to go out.

After all, she alone couldn’t possibly contend with so many people.

However, in just the time it took to turn around, something hit her on the head, and her vision went black as she fainted.

At the moment of fainting, Yun Dan’s thought was: why was she ambushed when she was inside the room and hadn’t even gone out?

At the same time, Xiao Yueqing had somehow arrived at the Old Madam and Old Master’s room.

Qi Pei and Tang Zhu didn’t seem surprised by Xiao Yueqing’s arrival.

Qi Pei, rarely acting like a kindly grandmother, greeted Xiao Yueqing to sit down.

“Yueqing, you’ve finally come. Quick, sit down.”

Xiao Yueqing wasn’t polite and sat down directly in front of Qi Pei and Tang Zhu.

However, her first words nearly angered the two elders to death.

“It’s been ten years since we last met. I didn’t expect you two were still alive, my maternal grandfather and grandmother.”

At these words, both Qi Pei and Tang Zhu’s expressions turned unpleasant.

But remembering the purpose for which they had called Xiao Yueqing over, Tang Zhu still held back.

“Yueqing, we know you still harbor resentment toward your grandmother and me in your heart. Ten years ago, it wasn’t that we deliberately ignored your plea for help. It was just that the Tang Sect was too chaotic at that time.

Moreover, your uncle had just taken office and become the sect master. There were so many matters he couldn’t handle, and we couldn’t spare the time either.”

Xiao Yueqing had always felt that Qi Pei and Tang Zhu were extremely hypocritical people, so naturally he didn’t believe these excuses.

At that time, he wasn’t unaware of their situation. Clearly, they had nothing going on—they had merely helped Tang Qi become sect master, that’s all.

What other matters could there have been?

Ten years ago was one of the most peaceful years in the entire martial arts world.

They simply didn’t want to help—why bother with so many grandiose excuses?

Xiao Yueqing didn’t expose them but just kept undermining them and adding to their frustration.

“You’re bringing up matters from ten years ago to explain to me now, but I don’t know what the situation was like back then either. Besides, it’s already been ten years—why do you keep bringing up what happened ten years ago? Are you afraid I’ll forget that you didn’t help me?”

He had absolutely no favorable feelings toward these two hypocrites.

Over these twenty-eight years, if these two had truly regarded him as their grandchild, they naturally couldn’t have remained indifferent all this time.

Now they were seeking him out purely for their own interests.

Xiao Yueqing couldn’t stay in the Tang Sect too long in this identity, nor did he want to continue wasting words with these two old foxes.

“Alright, you didn’t call me here just to reminisce, I presume? If you have something to say, say it directly. I don’t want to continue discussing other matters with you.”
