After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 126

This made Yun Dan feel somewhat strange.

She normally didn’t apply any fragrances or anything like that. After coming here, she rarely even used rouge. What kind of scent could she have on her body?

How come she couldn’t smell it herself?

“But Master, I’ve never applied any fragrances. And how come I can’t smell any scent myself?”

Ye Bei was stunned for a moment and didn’t make a sound.

He suddenly remembered that once when he descended the mountain, he encountered a so-called expert who read his fortune.

That expert said he had a tribulation in his fate, and this tribulation in his destiny was very special—once he encountered it, he would definitely notice something unusual.

However, that expert didn’t explicitly state what this person’s physical characteristics would be, only saying they would be somewhat different from ordinary people.

Ye Bei suddenly looked at Yun Dan, thinking that Yun Dan did indeed seem rather strange.

She always had a faint scent about her body, but it seemed only he could smell it. Even Yun Dan herself couldn’t smell it. Could it be that the destined tribulation the expert spoke of was her?

At the thought that Yun Dan was very likely related to this tribulation in his destiny, Ye Bei’s expression became somewhat unpleasant.

He pushed Yun Dan away, stood up and said, “Practice your sword techniques by yourself. I’m going to cultivate.”

“Oh, alright Master.”

However, after Ye Bei disappeared this time, he was gone for several days straight.

Completely nowhere to be found, that kind of disappearance.

Yun Dan thought that Ye Bei had most likely gone to cultivate, so now she was the only one active in Changge Hall.

She had been thinking about that hot spring in the back mountain for quite a while, but previously she’d been worried about running into Ye Bei, so she didn’t dare go.

Now knowing that Ye Bei couldn’t possibly appear, Yun Dan decided she wanted to go soak in that spring.

When Yun Dan reached the hot spring, she found there really wasn’t anyone there. Only then did Yun Dan breathe a sigh of relief, remove her clothes, and soak into the hot spring.

However, as she soaked, she kept feeling like there was the sound of water by her ear.

At first, Yun Dan thought it was just her imagination. After all, there wasn’t anyone else in this place.

However, the sound of water seemed to be right by her ear. This made Yun Dan have to open her eyes to see what was going on.

Little did she know, the moment she opened her eyes, she was nearly scared into fainting on the spot.

Who could tell her why there was a man not far away with his back to her?

And that man with a head full of white hair—who else could it be but Ye Bei?

“What the hell, when I came there clearly seemed to be no one here. Why would Ye Bei be in this place? Did I not investigate carefully enough?”

When Yun Dan came, she had only hastily scanned around, found no one else there, so she soaked in the hot spring. Who knew there would be someone behind this fake mountain?

What should she do?

He seemed not to have noticed her. Should she just slip away?

While Ye Bei hadn’t discovered her yet, Yun Dan quickly and quietly climbed out of the hot spring.

Not caring whether her body was dry or not, she directly threw on her outer robe and was about to run out.

But she accidentally stepped on a dead branch, waking Ye Bei.

Ye Bei subconsciously opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Yun Dan flustered and panicked not far away.

He didn’t really feel anything was wrong. After all, when he came here, he truly hadn’t expected anyone else would be here.

He thought to himself that he’d been gone for so many days—it was normal that Yun Dan didn’t know he was here soaking in the hot spring.

He’d better not make any sudden moves, lest he frighten her.

After Yun Dan finished fumbling about in her panic and finally ran out, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Good heavens, she had nearly bathed together with Ye Bei!

“What the hell, next time I’d better stop thinking about this hot spring. Who knew that after disappearing for so many days, he would suddenly appear at the hot spring? Fate really plays tricks on people. Good thing he didn’t notice me, otherwise it would have been impossible to resolve.”

After Yun Dan left, only then did Ye Bei feel that this little disciple he’d unintentionally taken on was quite interesting.

“She runs away as soon as she sees me. Do I really look that fierce and menacing?”

Of course Ye Bei didn’t know that Yun Dan fled because she actually felt embarrassed.

After all, Ye Bei had never associated with women before. Only toward his sole disciple had he been somewhat more familiar.

Although such a small incident occurred, when the two met again, there wasn’t any awkward feeling.

After several days of seclusion, Ye Bei’s mood seemed much better than before.

Yun Dan could sense that Ye Bei no longer constantly furrowed his brows like before, and the sunflowers she had originally planted had now grown quite tall.

“Master, look, the sunflowers we planted have already grown this tall. I feel like they just need a bit more time and they’ll bloom. I never thought before that one day I would actually be able to keep flowers alive.”

After all, her hands were like they had a debuff added—whatever she planted would die, without exception.

But after coming here, the situation seemed to have improved.

Though it was also possible that because Changge Hall’s feng shui was pretty good, even she could keep flowers alive.

Yun Dan remembered that a disciple seemed to have given her a letter, saying it should be delivered to Ye Bei, so she quickly handed the letter over.

“Master, this is a letter from Tang Sect.”

Heavenly Sword Sect and Tang Sect had relatively little interaction, though Yan Ke had once been to Tang Sect.

For Ye Bei, he never wanted to get involved in these matters.

Therefore, upon seeing this letter, he still couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

The content of the letter was indeed as he had imagined—it was a letter seeking help.

Because Tang Sect’s treasure map had been stolen, they wanted to seek Heavenly Sword Sect’s help.

He instantly turned the letter into a pile of ashes, then said, “Tang Sect’s treasure map has been stolen, so they want to seek my help. It seems those people in the jianghu learned the news earlier than I did. For this letter to only arrive now, it really makes one unable to figure out what Tang Sect is actually trying to do.”

After all, it had been so long since the treasure map was stolen.

According to the letter, the theft should have been over a month ago, but Tang Sect had no movement before.

Only now seeking help from Heavenly Sword Sect—it was hard for Ye Bei not to think Tang Sect had other motives.

Even Yun Dan found it somewhat unbelievable.

Logically speaking, when a sect like Tang Sect first discovered the treasure map was stolen, shouldn’t they immediately announce the news and have people search for whoever stole the treasure map?

Why would they wait this long before seeking help from Heavenly Sword Sect?

“Master, so your speculation is that Tang Sect sending you this letter seeking help this time might be because of other matters?”

Ye Bei nodded.

“Tang Sect has already said that this treasure map was taken by Xiao Yueqing of Tianqing Manor. There is still some connection between Tang Sect and Xiao Yueqing. Tang Sect probably wants me to join them in besieging Tianqing Manor.”
