After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 118

Yun Dan thought to herself that she had seen narcissistic people before, but she had never seen anyone as narcissistic as Yan Ke.

But the most infuriating thing was that this person really did have the capital to be narcissistic.

Who could blame him when all these women seemed to harbor secret feelings for him?

Yun Dan endured countless pressures and finally arrived at a secluded courtyard, where it seemed no one would come to disturb her.

Without saying a word, she sat down on a stone bench before speaking, “I was just thinking about how to meet you, and just after I handed the token to those disciples guarding the gate, you suddenly appeared from behind. Were you out having fun?”

Yan Ke suddenly moved close to her face and teased, “What, are you concerned about my whereabouts? I’ll tell you, I just went out to steal some romance. Don’t tell anyone, or the Sect Master will punish me.”

Yun Dan thought to herself, so you do have something you’re afraid of after all.

Who exactly was this Sect Master that even Yan Ke would fear?

Speaking of the position of Sect Master, the first image that floated up in Yun Dan’s mind was of someone with white hair and a white beard, holding a whisk in hand, with the appearance of an elderly Taoist priest with an ethereal, sage-like bearing.

The Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect was probably similar. After all, for such a formal-sounding sect, the Sect Master must surely be very upright.

Tang Sect and Mingyue Manor had certainly broadened her horizons, but Heavenly Sword Sect shouldn’t be too bad.

After all, Yan Ke came from this Heavenly Sword Sect.

Don’t look at how Yan Ke usually spoke without any seriousness, but in reality he was actually quite decent, so Heavenly Sword Sect shouldn’t be too bad.

“I don’t believe you went out to steal romance. You’re basically joking with me on an international level. It’s more like others would steal from you. Forget about you stealing from others. If you really wanted to find someone, you could just crook your finger at Heavenly Sword Sect and there would probably be a whole group of female disciples willing to warm your bed.”

Yan Ke suddenly developed a mischievous interest and began teasing her.

“But I don’t like them. What if I’ve taken a fancy to you?”

Yun Dan naturally didn’t believe this.

“Even rabbits don’t eat the grass by their burrows. We’re supposedly good friends, how can you joke with me like this?”

Unexpectedly, Yan Ke was actually able to leave her speechless.

He waved the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile, “Who says rabbits don’t eat the grass by their burrows? They don’t eat it because the other grass by the burrow doesn’t taste good. But if the grass by the burrow is pretty good, then it’s not a bad choice.”

What the hell kind of “grass by the burrow doesn’t taste good” nonsense is this?

Ten thousand alpacas ran through Yun Dan’s heart.

She slapped away the folding fan in Yan Ke’s hand and said somewhat huffily, “You’re an elder of Heavenly Sword Sect, yet you have no seriousness at all. I wonder if those young ladies would be furious to death if they knew what kind of person you are in private?”

“Whether others would be furious to death isn’t important. What’s important is that I’m afraid you’ll be furious to death.”

Yun Dan couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.

“I won’t be furious to death. You don’t have much to do with me anyway. Let’s talk seriously—this Heavenly Sword Sect is quite large, quite in line with the righteous sect I imagined. Does your Sect Master have an especially ethereal, sage-like appearance?”

“What, do you have designs on our Sect Master? But you might want to pay attention—in a few days, Heavenly Sword Sect will be holding a disciple recruitment assembly. The Sect Master comes to look around every year, but he’s never taken on a disciple. If you can catch his eye, perhaps he’ll take you as his disciple.”

Yun Dan hadn’t forgotten the task Xiao Yueqing had entrusted to her. She really had come here for the Sect Master.

But she was also a good-for-nothing.

To put it bluntly, she was a beautiful fool. With herself being like this, Yun Dan felt it would be very difficult to catch the Sect Master’s eye.

Yun Dan propped up her chin and sighed, “I wonder if this Sect Master has especially high standards for taking disciples. Otherwise, why hasn’t he had a single disciple all these years? Someone like me probably isn’t good enough for him, right? You know, I don’t know martial arts. What person would want a useless disciple?”

“Not necessarily. Perhaps the Sect Master has rather unique tastes. Perhaps after you wander around there for a bit, the Sect Master will take a liking to you and directly accept you as his disciple. The Sect Master’s thoughts are something no one in the Heavenly Sword Sect can fathom.”

Yun Dan felt the possibility of this was minuscule.

But no matter what, she still decided to give it a try.

“So where do I register? I need to register to participate, right?”

“If you truly want to register for this disciple recruitment assembly, I can take you there, but as for whether the Sect Master will ultimately accept you as his disciple, that’s hard to say.”

Yun Dan thought to herself that at least after registering, she could say she had tried her best.

As for whether the Sect Master ultimately refused to accept her as a disciple, she would just have to think of other methods.

Without another word, Yan Ke took Yun Dan to the registration place.

The disciple in charge of registration was very respectful when he saw Yan Ke, and was obviously stunned when he saw Yun Dan.

“Martial Uncle, this is…”

Yun Dan quickly introduced herself.

“My name is Yun Dan. I heard there’s a disciple recruitment assembly. Can I register? I’m an orphan with no sect affiliation.”

This was the first time he had encountered someone like this.

Usually, those who came to register were all from so-called prestigious families, all deciding to come because of the Sect Master’s reputation.

An orphan girl with no sect affiliation like this was truly a first.

“Young lady, are you truly registering for this disciple recruitment assembly?”

Yun Dan nodded.

“Yes, I’ve never participated in this kind of thing and have no experience, but I heard I could register, so I came to try my luck.”

The disciple was obviously somewhat amused. This was the first time he’d heard such a mindset.

But since she was someone Yan Ke brought over, the disciple still added Yun Dan’s name without question.

The Heavenly Sword Sect was very large, and Yan Ke also had many things to do at the Heavenly Sword Sect, so after finding someone to settle Yun Dan, he spent most of his time handling his own affairs.

Because this was the Heavenly Sword Sect, Yun Dan naturally wasn’t as constrained as she had been at Tang Sect, because she knew Heavenly Sword Sect couldn’t possibly attack her.

However, not long after Yun Dan left the courtyard, she ran head-on into a male disciple.

The disciple had a tray in his hands, and upon seeing Yun Dan, he thought she was a newly recruited disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect and wanted to be lazy by having her deliver something.

“Junior Sister, Senior Brother still has matters to attend to. Could Junior Sister help me deliver this?”

Yun Dan was about to explain that she wasn’t a Heavenly Sword Sect disciple, but the person only left behind a place name before running off.

Looking at the disciple’s departing back, Yun Dan shook her head somewhat helplessly.

But since the item was already in her hands, she could only find a way to deliver it.

“Changge Hall… why is this name so strange?”
