After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 120

Yun Dan hadn’t forgotten how Ye Bei had almost strangled her to death that day.

Therefore, when she discovered Ye Bei standing beside her, Yun Dan’s first reaction was to shift away some distance, trying her best not to be near this person.

Yan Ke sat right at the front, watching Yun Dan’s cautious appearance, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The elder beside him asked curiously, “What is it? What’s so funny?”

Yan Ke didn’t answer directly but kept watching Yun Dan before finally saying, “Nothing, I just saw a little radish arrive.”

Ye Bei’s appearance clearly excited everyone present. Most of the people there had come specifically for Ye Bei.

Although everyone knew he had never taken on a disciple, they all wanted to come and try their luck, thinking that if they became the sect master’s disciple, their status would be extraordinary.

Ye Bei didn’t look at Yun Dan but slowly walked to the front.

The elder beside him quickly began flattering him, recommending disciples.

“That person is really good, their aptitude is upper tier.”

“That woman is also good, quite skilled with the sword.”

When it came to Yun Dan, the elder naturally skipped right over her and began introducing the next person.

Ye Bei frowned and said, “You seem to have just skipped someone. Why didn’t you introduce her?”

The elder thought to himself that this person didn’t even know martial arts—what was the point of introducing her?

But since Ye Bei had spoken up, he could only bite the bullet and introduce Yun Dan.

“This is Yun Dan. She’s an orphan, a guest that Yan Ke brought to the Heavenly Sword Sect. However, she also registered for the disciple recruitment assembly, saying she came to try her luck. She doesn’t know martial arts, but says she can make things. Whoever becomes her master can have three different meals a day without repetition.”

Unexpectedly, Ye Bei actually nodded.

That day, he had indeed misunderstood Yun Dan and accidentally grabbed her neck, nearly strangling her to death.

He had truly never considered taking on a disciple, but if he absolutely had to take one, he should find someone who would save him worry.

Ye Bei suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Yun Dan, saying, “Fine, she’ll do.”

As soon as these words were spoken, no one present dared to breathe.

Even Yan Ke hadn’t expected that Ye Bei would so readily take Yun Dan as his disciple. Was there something wrong with this?

He quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

“Sect Master, this is a guest I brought. If you’re taking a disciple, shouldn’t you discuss it with me first?”

“Does this venerable one need to tell you when taking a disciple? This venerable one sees that she’s good—she’ll do. At least she looks worry-free.”

Seeing that Ye Bei was sincere, Yan Ke naturally wouldn’t say anything more.

Yun Dan had been keeping her head down the whole time, completely unaware of what was happening.

It wasn’t until a pair of feet appeared in front of her that she realized something was off.

Looking up, she saw that Ye Bei had somehow already come before her.

“Kneel.”

Yun Dan was stunned but still complied.

However, her mind was wondering what this person was trying to do, suddenly making her kneel.

“From now on, I am your master. I, Ye Bei, have never taken a disciple before, so you will be my first disciple. From now on, move to Changge Hall.”

Yun Dan blinked her eyes, looking at Ye Bei with utter disbelief.

What kind of joke was this? She had just become Ye Bei’s disciple like that?

Why wasn’t this person playing by the rules?

“Sect Master, are you serious?”

As soon as she finished speaking, her head was tapped.

“Call me Master. So disrespectful. Master’s words are never taken back. Do you want to become a disciple or not?”

Since the opportunity had been delivered to her doorstep, she wouldn’t refuse.

Yun Dan quickly kowtowed three times to Ye Bei. “Disciple Yun Dan pays respects to Master.”

The people present were absolutely dumbfounded. None of them had expected that Ye Bei, who never took disciples, would actually take someone without any martial arts skills as his disciple.

But since this was the sect master’s own decision, no one dared say it was wrong.

After the disciple recruitment assembly was completely over, Yun Dan was also led by others to receive her own robes. As for other matters, she didn’t need to handle them herself—she just needed to go directly to Changge Hall to report.

However, before leaving, Yun Dan thought she should still bid farewell to Yan Ke.

Yan Ke was drinking tea in the courtyard. Looking up, he saw Yun Dan walking excitedly toward him.

“I didn’t expect your luck to be pretty good—the sect master really took you as his disciple.”

Yun Dan scratched her head and said, “I didn’t expect the sect master would actually take me as his disciple either. Before, I was thinking that since I don’t know martial arts and can’t fight or anything, I’m just useless—the sect master probably wouldn’t think much of me.”

But who would have thought the surprise would come so suddenly?

Yan Ke chuckled softly and teased, “I told you that the sect master’s thoughts are impossible for anyone to fathom. What he wants to do is truly unpredictable to ordinary people. But congratulations on truly joining our Heavenly Sword Sect. From now on, you’re no longer alone—you have the entire Heavenly Sword Sect behind you.”

Yun Dan loved hearing these words.

She was no longer alone.

She had the entire Heavenly Sword Sect behind her.

“Are there any things I need to pay attention to in daily interactions with the sect master? I don’t know if after all these years of being accustomed to being alone, he’ll feel uncomfortable with me around. Or does he have any taboos I should try to avoid?”

Yan Ke thought for a moment and replied, “The sect master occasionally goes to the hot springs in the back mountain. You just need to avoid that. But regarding the sect master, I’m curious what you think of him?”

Yun Dan carefully recalled what she felt when she saw Ye Bei’s face today.

“At the time, I felt like I was seeing an immortal. If there are immortals in this world, I think they should look like this, right? So ethereal and noble, like jade trees. The key is that his white hair doesn’t look out of place at all. Looking across the world, there must be quite a few women who admire him, right?”

Besides, he was already a sect master at twenty-six, highly skilled in martial arts, and good-looking—no matter how you looked at it, he was tall, rich, and handsome.

“Immortal? That’s a novel way of putting it. But don’t worry too much. Although the sect master seems unapproachable, he’s actually a decent person. Just don’t provoke him.”

Yun Dan nodded thoughtfully.

When she finally arrived at Changge Hall, she immediately saw Ye Bei standing in the courtyard with his back to her.

She quickly ran over. “Master, I’m sorry I’m late.”

Only then did Ye Bei turn around. “It’s fine. I came early.”

Mom, I’m seeing an immortal!

Ye Bei remembered that he had once frightened Yun Dan and thought he should apologize.

“I’m sorry. At that time, I mistook you for an assassin, so I accidentally grabbed your neck. That was my fault.”

“Eh, Master doesn’t need to apologize. This disciple understands.”
