After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 122

After learning that Xiao Yueqing didn’t have any major issues, Yun Dan also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, she still remembered that this was the Heavenly Sword Sect, and it was impossible for Xiao Yueqing to stay here too long.

If he were discovered by others, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Especially since Changge Hall was the sect master’s territory—if he were discovered, wouldn’t that be terrible luck?

“Master, you should leave quickly. This is the Heavenly Sword Sect after all, and if you stay here too long, it would be bad if Master discovered you.”

Hearing the term “Master,” Xiao Yueqing was obviously somewhat displeased.

Although all of this was done with his instruction, when he personally heard Yun Dan address another man as Master, his heart felt somewhat uncomfortable.

“Yun Dan, didn’t I teach you not to mention other men in front of your master?”

Yun Dan asked him somewhat puzzled, “But weren’t you the one who told me to become his disciple? That’s why I have a Master now. Though I have to say, this Ye Bei is really quite difficult to deal with. I don’t even know what kind of person he really is, or when I’ll be able to extract any clues from him.”

Although she had stayed in Changge Hall for a very long time—so long that she felt she had gotten used to it—she still couldn’t quite figure out what Ye Bei’s true temperament was.

Yun Dan rested her chin in her hand, clearly somewhat troubled.

“I also don’t know how much more time I’ll need to find out from him where the treasure map is. When he’s not around, or when I go to clean the kitchen, I’ve searched everywhere.

There’s simply nowhere here to hide things. I’ve felt along the walls in various places—there are no hidden mechanisms. So could it be on his person?”

She had already searched through the entire Changge Hall thoroughly.

If you asked what hadn’t been searched yet, it was probably only on his person.

But even if you gave Yun Dan ten times the courage, she wouldn’t dare to search his body.

Xiao Yueqing also felt that if she wanted to search Ye Bei’s person, the possibility was very slim. Even using sedatives wouldn’t work.

He understood Ye Bei quite well.

His martial arts skills weren’t weak—in fact, they were almost on par with his own.

For someone like that, it would be impossible for Yun Dan to search his body, unless Ye Bei was lying there completely unable to move, having lost consciousness entirely.

But that possibility was even lower.

“Forget it, think of other methods to search other places. Perhaps it’s not necessarily on his person.”

Yun Dan thought to herself that if there was an opportunity, she must try to probe Ye Bei.

Perhaps the real clue might actually be on him.

“Master, you should leave quickly, otherwise if Master discovers you, he’ll really beat you up!”

But now Xiao Yueqing’s mischievous side emerged.

He gently lifted Yun Dan’s chin, ran his tongue over his back teeth, and said, “Call me by my name.”

Yun Dan didn’t understand what he wanted to do, but complied anyway.

“Xiao Yueqing…”

“Not right.”

“Yueqing?”

With this “Yueqing,” she got goosebumps all over herself.

Having heard the answer that satisfied him, Xiao Yueqing naturally released Yun Dan, though before leaving he still gave a few reminders.

“Ye Bei seems to be practicing his martial arts, so he’s been in seclusion this whole time. You probably haven’t seen him in a long while, right? Perhaps you can take advantage of him not having emerged yet to search his room. Something so important must surely be stored somewhere.”

So Ye Bei was practicing martial arts.

Yun Dan thought to herself, no wonder she hadn’t seen Ye Bei in so long.

“I understand. I’ll think of another way. You should go quickly.”

After much persuasion, Xiao Yueqing actually left.

But after calming down, Yun Dan still pondered—where should she go to find clues about the treasure map?

Two more days passed, and Ye Bei finally emerged from seclusion.

Yun Dan quickly went up to greet him. “Master, you’ve emerged from seclusion! This disciple was very worried seeing you hadn’t come out in so long. Master, what would you like to eat? I’ll go make it for you right now.”

But Ye Bei suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, “No need. I’ll take you down the mountain.”

“Eh? Master is going down the mountain?”

Of course Yun Dan wouldn’t refuse.

Besides, she had been at the Heavenly Sword Sect for a while now, and staying only in Changge Hall every day, she was practically growing moldy.

Now that there was an opportunity to go out and explore, she had to seize it no matter what.

“Alright then! Master, shall we leave now?”

Ye Bei nodded.

Over these many years, he would occasionally go down the mountain to walk around. After all, staying at the Heavenly Sword Sect every day meant he wasn’t very clear about news from the common world.

It was a good time to go down the mountain to gather some information.

Now that he had this little disciple, he should take her out to see the world even more.

He had never thought he would have a disciple one day, but having one now, he wanted to treat her well.

He had observed his disciple—she probably wasn’t suited for practicing martial arts, but keeping her around as a source of joy wasn’t a bad idea either.

The Heavenly Sword Sect could certainly afford to support her.

Perhaps worried that Ye Bei going out would cause too much commotion, Yun Dan thought for a moment and reminded him.

“Master, with that face of yours, going out would be far too likely to cause a commotion. Why don’t you wear a veil to cover up your beautiful features, then others won’t know?”

Ye Bei was somewhat puzzled.

“Isn’t one’s appearance, whether beautiful or ugly, heaven-given? Why should it be covered?”

Yun Dan thought to herself that this person probably truly was inexperienced with the world, so he didn’t understand what kind of commotion his face would cause if he went out.

She chuckled lightly and patiently explained, “Master, you’re so good-looking, like a deity. If you go out, it will definitely cause a commotion, so Master should wear a veil to avoid those people troubling you.”

When she had walked on the street with Yan Ke before, Yun Dan had deeply experienced what kind of commotion being good-looking could cause on the streets.

It was just like a celebrity fan meeting.

After Yun Dan’s explanation, Ye Bei truly noticed for the first time—could he really bring such a burden?

Though he didn’t say anything, when going out he still chose to wear a veil.

At the foot of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s mountain was a place called Qinghe Town.

“Master, I didn’t know there was such a lively place at the foot of our mountain!”

This place was by the sea, so most people here made their living by fishing.

At almost every stall, you could see jewelry made from various types of shells.

Yun Dan was after all a young girl, and naturally couldn’t take her eyes off these things now that she saw them.

“Master, may I go browse over there?”

Ye Bei rarely nodded in agreement.

He didn’t stop Yun Dan, but whenever she looked at something, he would directly buy those items for her.

Back and forth, Yun Dan’s hands accumulated many newly purchased items.
