After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 33

“Manor Master Xiao, please spare our lives! We beg you not to kill us!”

However, Xiao Yueqing would not let them off so easily.

He still needed to ask some questions, so he couldn’t kill them directly just yet.

He stepped on one man’s shoulder with his foot and said, “Don’t you know what kind of mistake you’ve made even until death? Do you need this lord to personally tell you?”

The several men looked at each other, suddenly thinking of a possibility.

That would be their attempt to assassinate Dongfang Wuchen.

But in their impression, Dongfang Wuchen’s Mingyue Manor and this Tianqing Manor were mortal enemies, so it shouldn’t have made him this angry.

So what exactly was…

One of them seemed to think of something and blurted out, “When I went to assassinate Dongfang Wuchen, I think I accidentally injured a young lady. This lady came rushing out suddenly for some reason, and I couldn’t hold back in time, so I hurt that lady. But this lady seemed to have just met Dongfang Wuchen recently, could it be…”

Another ‘crack’ sound, and his shoulder blade instantly shattered.

He had been struck at a mute acupoint by Xiao Yueqing, unable even to cry out.

“So you finally remembered. You hurt someone you shouldn’t have hurt, strictly speaking, two people. That young lady is my only disciple in twenty-eight years. Even I can’t bear to hurt her, yet you dared to injure her like this. Killing you all wouldn’t be excessive.”

Another person still tried to beg for mercy.

“Manor Master Xiao, we know we were wrong. Please forgive us. Besides, that young lady didn’t die and was taken into Mingyue Manor, so…”

However, before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yueqing directly dislocated his jaw.

“You’re really too noisy. If I didn’t still have things to say, this lord would have killed you long ago. There are several reasons why you people are lying here. Since you’re all going to die anyway, this lord doesn’t mind telling you.”

“First, you hurt my disciple. Second, you shouldn’t have tried to assassinate Dongfang Wuchen. His life belongs to me, no one else can take it. Yet for your selfish desires, you went to assassinate him. Hah, truly unafraid of death.”

This time, Xiao Yueqing didn’t torture them further, but directly snapped the necks of these several people.

His movements were so swift that they couldn’t even close their eyes.

Yue Po looked at the several corpses lying in disarray below, showing no signs of panic in his eyes.

He just glanced at Xiao Yueqing and said, “Master, shall we still drag them down and bury them under the passion flowers?”

“Bury them.”

But he seemed to think of something else.

“Wait, go destroy the Shu Sect. Such an ant-like and filthy sect should disappear sooner rather than later. I can’t bear to hurt Yun Dan, yet they managed to injure her. A few worthless lives can serve as compensation for my disciple’s injury.”

Yue Po wanted to say something.

But after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Sometimes saying too much was meaningless.

Xiao Yueqing went to bathe, then returned to his room.

But when he closed his eyes, he found he couldn’t fall asleep.

He had always had poor sleep, and only during those few days when Yun Dan accompanied him did he sleep peacefully.

Though he would still dream of that person.

But it wasn’t particularly frightening or painful.

“What’s wrong? Could it be that without Yun Dan, I really can’t sleep like a normal person anymore?”

His mind recalled some of Yun Dan’s small gestures.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yueqing suddenly laughed out loud.

“Hah, this little girl, I wonder if she can complete my task. She clearly knows nothing and understands nothing, yet I still forcibly involved her and made her work as a spy. Did I do something wrong?”

But Yun Dan was indeed the only one who could save him.

She was his last hope.

Although he could break into Mingyue Manor, it didn’t mean he could come and go freely.

Moreover, he didn’t know the specific location of that treasure map, only that it was somewhere in Mingyue Manor, so he needed someone who could always move around within Mingyue Manor.

So Yun Dan was the most suitable candidate.

…….

The next day when Yun Dan woke up, she found that the wound on her shoulder didn’t seem to hurt as much.

It was still early, but she was hungry and couldn’t sleep, so she thought about finding where the kitchen was.

However, when she opened the door, Dongfang Wuchen was standing right outside.

Their eyes met, creating an awkward moment.

“You… why are you at the door?”

Dongfang Wuchen had actually been there for a while.

He was just worried that Yun Dan might be sleeping, so he didn’t knock on the door, thinking he’d wait outside.

But he wouldn’t admit this, instead making up an excuse. “No, no, I just arrived. I was thinking of coming to see if you were awake, and didn’t expect you to wake up just then. How are you feeling? Are you hungry? I’ll have someone bring you something.”

Yun Dan felt that Dongfang Wuchen probably wasn’t someone who was good at lying.

Although his tone was calm, his ears had turned red.

This meant he wasn’t telling the truth.

Could it be that this person had been waiting at the door for a while?

“You must be tired standing like that. Come in and sit down.”

“Alright.”

However, Yun Dan belatedly realized that something seemed off.

This was his home, so how had he become the guest instead?

“By the way, Miss Yun, how is your injury today?”

“It doesn’t hurt much, so it shouldn’t be too serious. Speaking of this matter, I should thank you. If it weren’t for you, I might have truly bled to death. After all, you know I have no relatives in Yong City, and others wouldn’t possibly help me.”

This last half sentence wasn’t a lie from Yun Dan.

Joking aside, people nowadays generally weren’t very brave.

When encountering such situations, they definitely wouldn’t help.

They’d be afraid of being falsely accused.

Only this warm-hearted young man Dongfang Wuchen had helped her.

Soon, two bowls of noodles were brought over – beef noodles with specially prepared poached eggs.

Looking at the delicious food before her, Yun Dan felt like the glutton in her stomach was about to be drawn out.

She rubbed her hands together, picked up her chopsticks, and began eating heartily.

Dongfang Wuchen ate very elegantly, as if following a precise routine.

Even when eating noodles, he didn’t make much noise.

In contrast, Yun Dan’s side looked like a hungry wolf feeding, making Yun Dan feel somewhat embarrassed.

“Young Master Dongfang, these noodles taste really good, and you eat so quietly. Unlike me – I’m just a rough person who doesn’t pay attention to details when eating.”

Dongfang Wuchen chuckled softly and said, “I’m used to it. When I was young, I got beaten by my mother quite often for not behaving properly while eating. My mother came from a prestigious family and indeed had high standards. Over time, I just got used to it.”

“Actually, I think the way Miss Yun eats is what I aspire to. My life isn’t as good as you might think – I have my own pressures and troubles.”
