After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 123

In the end, it was Yun Dan who felt somewhat embarrassed.

After all, along the way, Ye Bei had bought her so many things that she really felt a bit guilty.

“Master, I only looked at some things, why did you buy them all for me? This cost so much money, I suddenly feel a bit guilty.”

Ye Bei didn’t have much concept of money.

Besides, as the sect master of Heavenly Sword Sect, how could he possibly lack money?

Moreover, Yun Dan was his only disciple. Wasn’t spending money on his disciple a matter of course?

“You are my disciple. Isn’t it natural for me to treat you well? I’ll just buy whatever you like.”

What he said wasn’t wrong, but Yun Dan always felt like she had latched onto a golden opportunity.

What was this?

Had she found herself a tall, rich, and handsome benefactor?

“Master, we still need to be frugal with money. Besides, I only glanced at some things, but then you, Master, bought them all. This makes your disciple feel quite guilty.”

But Ye Bei didn’t think so.

“Enough. You are my disciple, so treating you well is only right. If you don’t like those things, just throw them away.”

My goodness, what kind of domineering CEO-like rhetoric was this?

She could vaguely understand why Yan Ke had said that Ye Bei’s thoughts were hard to fathom.

The two walked along and finally stopped at a stall making dough figurines.

Regarding these dough figurines, Yun Dan was quite fond of them, but she had never had the chance to stop and buy one before.

This old woman’s dough figurines were remarkably lifelike—they looked just like the real thing, which immediately made her want to keep one.

“Master, these dough figurines are so well-made. May I buy one?”

Ye Bei had never encountered such trinkets before, but seeing Yun Dan like this, he couldn’t help feeling a bit curious, wondering if these things were really so appealing.

“Sure, if you like them, get a dough figurine made.”

Seeing the two of them standing together, the old woman mistook them for a married couple and immediately began promoting her dough figurines.

“Young lady, your husband is so handsome—the dough figurine made of him will surely be beautiful too.”

Hearing the old woman’s misunderstanding, Yun Dan quickly waved her hands and explained, “Grandmother, you’ve misunderstood. We’re not husband and wife. We are… friends.”

It seemed inappropriate to say they were master and disciple publicly, so she could only claim they were friends.

The grandmother showed an “I understand” expression and said with a smile, “Friends are fine too—you can still get dough figurines made. Just wait, I’ll be quick.”

Since she couldn’t see Ye Bei’s true appearance, the grandmother could only make a dough figurine of him wearing his veil.

But even so, when Yun Dan saw the dough figurines, she still thought the grandmother’s craftsmanship was truly excellent—the figurines looked almost real.

She quickly handed one figurine to Ye Bei and said with a smile, “Master, look, this dough figurine looks just like you. Isn’t it beautiful?”

Ye Bei had never encountered such trinkets before, but the figurine in his hand truly wasn’t ugly, and he found it quite pleasing.

“It’s indeed quite nice. We should go to other places. Are you hungry? How about I take you to eat something?”

It was fine until Ye Bei mentioned it, but once he did, Yun Dan realized she was actually a bit hungry.

“Master, it was fine until you mentioned it, but now I realize I’m actually hungry. Are we going to eat something delicious?”

Ye Bei smiled without speaking but still led Yun Dan to the largest restaurant in the area.

Because they were wearing veils, their entrance didn’t cause much of a stir.

Ye Bei requested a private room and ordered some food before removing his veil.

Although it was already autumn, Ye Bei still had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

Seeing this, Yun Dan quickly took out her handkerchief and handed it over.

“Master, you have some sweat on your forehead. Use this handkerchief to wipe it. It’s clean—I haven’t used it yet.”

Ye Bei looked at the handkerchief Yun Dan handed over, stunned for a moment, but still accepted it with a smile.

All along, no one dared to act presumptuously before him because he was the sect master, and others feared saying the wrong thing and making him angry.

It would be impossible for anyone to be as informal with him as Yun Dan was.

She clearly knew he was her master, yet she was always so casual.

But after nearly a month of interaction, Ye Bei had genuinely come to enjoy spending time with Yun Dan. This young lady was quite nice.

This kind of care was something Ye Bei had never experienced before.

She was very considerate, very attentive, and would remind him of many things he had never thought of himself.

Moreover, the handkerchief seemed to carry a faint fragrance—Yun Dan’s scent.

He couldn’t describe what he felt about this scent, but he truly didn’t find it repulsive.

Who would have thought that Ye Bei, who had an almost pathological obsession with cleanliness, would actually use someone else’s handkerchief?

If anyone else knew about this, their jaws would surely drop.

He wiped his sweat with the handkerchief before saying, “The food here is quite good. You should try it.”

Downstairs was very lively, and people in the main hall seemed to be chatting.

“By the way, have you all heard? Two treasure maps in the jianghu have been stolen one after another. I don’t think the third map can be protected either. Heavenly Sword Sect clearly can’t be trusted.”

“But isn’t the sect master of Heavenly Sword Sect Ye Bei? This man’s martial arts are very strong. If it weren’t for his unwillingness to be the alliance leader, he would surely be the Martial Arts Alliance Leader.”

“What’s the use of strong martial arts? I heard that as sect master, he can never marry or have children for his entire life. Isn’t that missing out on much of life’s pleasures? If you ask me, I wouldn’t be this sect master. At least I could be a real man once.”

Yun Dan was drinking water when she heard this and nearly sprayed it out.

“Master, don’t listen to these people’s nonsense. They’re just typical gossipmongers. Don’t take it to heart.”

Ye Bei hummed in acknowledgment but didn’t speak.

This wasn’t the first time he’d heard such words, so naturally, he was used to it.

“What they said is actually true. As sect master, there are indeed many things beyond one’s control.”

“Eh? Then Master, why did you become sect master? Was it voluntary?”

Ye Bei shook his head, not knowing where to begin.

“I grew up in Heavenly Sword Sect. The previous sect master was my master. He had many disciples at the time, and I wasn’t the one with the best aptitude. It’s just that those people were too ambitious and killed each other. In the end, only I remained, so Heavenly Sword Sect could only be entrusted to me.”

“At first, I truly wasn’t used to it, but after all these years, I’ve gotten accustomed to it. They weren’t wrong either—I truly cannot marry or have children, as long as I remain sect master.”
