After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 119

Regardless of everything, the items were with her, so she had to find a way to deliver them. It would be terrible if she delayed someone who needed these things.

Yun Dan thought that Changge Hall seemed to be not far from here, if she remembered correctly.

But when Yun Dan saw those long, long stairs, she still froze for a moment.

“Damn, now I finally understand why that person was slacking off. These stairs are so long, it’s practically climbing a mountain. Who knows when I’ll finish climbing these.”

Yun Dan took a deep breath and walked over carrying the tray.

When Yun Dan finally climbed to the last step, she was already exhausted and drenched in sweat, but at least she’d reached Changge Hall.

She had originally thought that a place with this kind of name should be quite lively.

However, when Yun Dan finally stepped inside, she discovered the place was extremely desolate.

The courtyard only had some bamboo planted, and the pond had a few fish swimming in it with some lotus flowers floating on top. Nothing else—it was like an otherworldly paradise.

Yun Dan felt that if she were to live in a place like this, there was no way she could stand it.

But after Yun Dan had wandered around in a big circle, she still hadn’t found anyone. Where could they be?

“Is there no one in this place? Surely they wouldn’t have no one here but still ask for things to be delivered?”

She had originally wanted to just put the things down and leave, but thinking about it, she’d already come all this way. If she left directly without handing the items to the master of this place, it would seem impolite.

What if they didn’t know the items had been delivered?

Yun Dan searched around for a long time, and finally, when passing by a room, she heard some movement inside.

She knocked on the door, but the person inside only replied, “Come in.”

Since they’d told her to enter, she carried the tray inside.

However, when she pushed open the door, Yun Dan was completely dumbfounded by the scene inside.

She could see a white-haired man in a bathtub in the distance, with his back to her.

But this person didn’t seem to notice anything wrong with the atmosphere and urged, “Put the things aside and help me get the towel.”

Yun Dan’s face darkened, and she could only put down the tray and go get the towel nearby.

However, just as she walked to the bathtub, her wrist was grabbed.

The person frowned, sensing that this wrist didn’t belong to a man, so he turned around and grabbed Yun Dan by the throat.

“Woman, do you know what the consequences are for scheming against me?”

Only then did Yun Dan see clearly that the white-haired man in the bathtub was actually a beautiful man.

He had a cinnabar dot between his eyebrows, which made his entire aura seem exceptionally ethereal.

But this person was still choking her throat. Yun Dan could only pry at his hand and explain, “I wasn’t trying to scheme against you, and I’m not from the Heavenly Sword Sect. I’m a guest of the Heavenly Sword Sect. I just happened to meet a disciple on the road who asked me to help deliver something. I thought it wouldn’t be good to just leave it there, so I was looking for someone. Now let me go!”

The man frowned, seemingly thinking about whether Yun Dan’s words were true or not.

But he eventually released Yun Dan, turned his back, and said, “Leave. Don’t speak of what happened today, or I won’t mind ripping out your tongue.”

Yun Dan, granted a new lease on life, didn’t want to stay even a moment longer and ran straight out.

The man seemed to be wondering whether his actions just now had been a bit excessive.

But his fingertips still retained some warmth, and there seemed to be a faint, lingering fragrance.

“A guest of the Heavenly Sword Sect? When did the Heavenly Sword Sect get a guest, and a young lady at that? How come I don’t know about this…”

Yun Dan ran for a long time, and only after completely getting away from Changge Hall did she breathe a sigh of relief.

But her heart was still pounding with lingering fear.

“Damn, who was that white-haired man? Why did he start gripping my wrist right away? Where do I look like I was trying to harm him? He was clearly the one who told me to come help get the towel. This was obviously a disaster for no reason!”

[Ding—Current character profile being pushed, please check, player]

When Yun Dan excitedly opened the profile, she couldn’t laugh anymore.

“Ye Bei—Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, twenty-six years old, exceptional swordsmanship, rarely meets his match.”

This name was still very familiar to Yun Dan.

Wasn’t this another male lead from that otome game!

This exiled immortal type of otome male lead was originally Yun Dan’s preferred type.

But after witnessing too many of the same type, she seemed unable to love this kind of male lead anymore.

Moreover, no otome game would use a villain as a male lead, which was why Xiao Yueqing had caught her eye back then.

So it turned out that the person just now was Ye Bei, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

“I thought he’d be a sage-like Daoist master, but it turns out he’s a man with such a strange temper. What kind of sins have I committed? Why does every otome male lead I encounter want to strangle me to death?”

“Though Yan Ke doesn’t seem to. He’s always been pretty nice to me. If it weren’t for the Xiao Yueqing situation, I probably would have liked him, right? But maybe it’s also because he’s not a male lead. I really don’t understand—with looks like that, he actually can’t be a male lead. I really can’t comprehend it.”

Before, Yun Dan thought she’d never meet anyone more annoying than Xiao Yueqing.

But after meeting Ye Bei today, Yun Dan discovered there really was someone worse!

What sage-like bearing.

What exiled immortal descended to earth.

All complete lies!

Three days later, the Heavenly Sword Sect’s disciple acceptance ceremony began as scheduled.

Yun Dan didn’t know what the process was, but since she’d signed up, she naturally had to go.

Everyone knew the Sect Master would never take on disciples, but every year countless disciples came here, hoping to take a chance.

If they really were taken as the Sect Master’s disciple, they’d have no worries for the rest of their lives.

She thought they’d have to spar and compete with each other, but it turned out to just be various self-introductions and demonstrations of their special skills.

These people all came from other sects or had trained with martial arts masters since childhood, and most of the special skills they demonstrated were swordsmanship or martial arts techniques.

When it was Yun Dan’s turn, it was a completely different style.

Even though she was being watched by so many people, Yun Dan didn’t feel any panic in her heart.

“My name is Yun Dan. I’m an orphan girl with no sect affiliation. I don’t know martial arts…”

As soon as she said this, it immediately caused an uproar.

“No way, she doesn’t know martial arts but came to become a disciple? The Sect Master would never be interested in someone like this.”

“Exactly, she has nothing but that face. Does she think she can become a disciple just with that face? This is the Heavenly Sword Sect, not a brothel.”

Yun Dan took a deep breath and continued speaking.

“I can make many delicious things. I’m a hardworking and enduring person. As long as you can name it, I can make it. If anyone becomes my master, I can guarantee they’ll eat three meals a day without repetition.”

After she finished speaking this time, no one discussed anything.

Yun Dan was curious about what was happening when she felt someone standing behind her at some point.

“You’re certainly unique.”

This voice…

It was Ye Bei!
