After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 133

Previously, Yun Dan had been curious about what truly caused Xiao Yi’s death, something even Xiao Yueqing himself had never mentioned.

Now, hearing these words, how could she not understand?

Tang Lan was truly too much. It was clearly the karmic debt caused by his mother, and Xiao Yi himself was also a victim. The two of them had originally been childhood sweethearts with an arranged marriage, yet she had actually tried to poison Xiao Yi to death.

Xiao Yueqing had actually already guessed at this matter back then—Xiao Yi’s death must have had something to do with Tang Lan.

Yet he never imagined that the truth would now actually be laid bare before his eyes. It would be false to say he wasn’t shocked.

But what made him even more curious was: where had Xiao Yi been all these years he’d been missing, and what had happened to him? Why had he become like this now?

“Father, I can give you the treasure map, but please return her to me. She’s more important to me than my own life.”

But Xiao Yi merely sneered and said, “We father and son should by rights join forces and rule the entire martial arts world together. Yet now you’ve come groveling to me over a woman—I can hardly believe you’re my son.”

In Xiao Yi’s view, he and Xiao Yueqing were both victims, both rejected by the entire martial arts world.

Since they weren’t accepted by the world, they should unite and become even stronger.

Once father and son found the treasure map together, he could use the elixir to save his life, while he himself would obtain those two martial arts manuals and could then unify the entire martial arts world. Then the entire martial world would be under the control of the Xiao family, father and son.

He never expected that Xiao Yueqing would be so lovestruck as to give up even the treasure map for a woman.

This made Xiao Yi furious.

“Xiao Yueqing, as my son, you should be thinking of ways to unify the entire martial arts world with me. Now you have part of the treasure map, and once I obtain the other part, we father and son can share dominion over the entire martial world—why not?

When that time comes, what woman couldn’t you have? Is this little girl really to your taste? Don’t be foolish, son.”

Xiao Yueqing could partly guess why Xiao Yi had become like this—it probably had something to do with Tang Lan.

The other part was probably because Xiao Yi had grown weary of his previous life and wanted to achieve great ambitions, which was why he was desperately trying to find the treasure map.

Behind the treasure map were also two extraordinary martial arts manuals. If one mastered these peerless martial arts, one could unify the entire martial world.

But he himself had never had any desire to unify the martial world. Finding the treasure map was merely to save his own life.

Now, asking him to hand over the treasure map in exchange for Yun Dan—Xiao Yueqing wouldn’t regret it.

But these words directly enraged Xiao Yi.

He sneered and suddenly turned to ask Yun Dan, “Little girl, tell me—if you knew my son had deceived you, would you still be so devoted to him?”

Xiao Yueqing silently groaned.

He roughly guessed what Xiao Yi intended to do and instinctively tried to stop him.

“The grudge is between us—why involve an innocent person? I’ll give you the treasure map, just return Yun Dan to me. I don’t want anything else.”

But Xiao Yi would not let Xiao Yueqing off so easily.

He suddenly burst out laughing. “Little girl, aren’t you curious why every time you’re in danger, he can always reach you first?

He should clearly be a thousand miles away, yet he can always appear before you immediately. It’s actually because he has another identity—one that you also know.”

Afraid that Xiao Yi would expose his identity, Xiao Yueqing stopped caring that the person before him was Xiao Yi and directly attacked him.

Xiao Yi threw Yun Dan aside and began fighting with Xiao Yueqing. Seeing this, Ye Bei also joined the battle, taking the opportunity to try to rescue Yun Dan.

They didn’t know that all of this was part of Xiao Yi’s scheme.

Yun Dan had wanted to escape, but the moment she stood up, she felt a piercing pain.

The next second, she spat out a large pool of blood, her internal organs feeling as if they were being sliced by knives.

Distracted by Yun Dan, Xiao Yueqing lost focus, and his mask was directly knocked off by Xiao Yi.

When Yun Dan struggled to lift her head, the first thing she saw was an incredibly familiar face.

“Yan Ke!”

Ye Bei was also shocked by this scene.

He had never imagined that Yan Ke and Xiao Yueqing were the same person.

Even Yun Dan herself hadn’t expected it.

Yun Dan struggled to stand up, raised her hand pointing at Xiao Yueqing and said, “I never imagined I’d be played for such a fool by you. Young Master Luoyue, Yan Ke—’Luoyue swaying, emotions fill the river’s trees’—so you two are the same person.

No wonder you both knew me so well, knew all my preferences. No wonder you could appear before me immediately every time, even though you should have been separated by mountains and rivers. I never imagined I’d be played for such a fool by you. Was deceiving me fun, Xiao Yueqing? First the slap, then the sweet date, is that it?”

All of this was within Xiao Yi’s expectations, except he had underestimated Ye Bei’s martial arts and was actually wounded by Ye Bei’s sneak attack.

Clutching his chest and silently groaning, he grabbed Yun Dan and put his sword to her neck.

“Xiao Yueqing, give me the treasure map. We father and son will achieve great ambitions together—otherwise I’ll kill her. Don’t think that just because you’ve been good to her she’ll be grateful. You’ve deceived her now—do you think she’ll still be willing to be with you?”

Yun Dan’s heart had already turned to ash.

She didn’t understand—they had finally confessed their feelings to each other and gotten together.

Yet in the end, it was all a deception.

She sneered, though there wasn’t a trace of fear in her eyes.

“Ha, Manor Master Xiao, you really went to great lengths, using another identity to deceive me and play me for a fool. All that talk about loving me was fake, wasn’t it? You clearly just treated me as a chess piece.”

Perhaps feeling the conflict between these two wasn’t enough, Xiao Yi added another comment.

“Little girl, you probably don’t know this, but the poison my son gave you has no antidote. Otherwise he would have given it to you long ago, instead of using his blood every month to suppress the toxicity. You’re just a chess piece—don’t think too highly of yourself.”

Yun Dan looked up at Xiao Yueqing with some shock. “Is it true? The poison you gave me has no antidote, doesn’t it? At first you told me it was a poison you’d newly developed, that with your skills making an antidote would be simple—I believed you.

Every month you used your blood to suppress the toxicity for me—I believed that too. But I never imagined that in the end, you were deceiving me about everything!”

“All that talk about loving me—weren’t you just making me work for you, making me search for the treasure map for you! Search your conscience—did you ever, from the very beginning, intend to let me live! Wasn’t I just a chess piece that could be sacrificed at any time from the start!”
