After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 46

Yun Dan scratched her head, wondering what exactly had happened after she hit the pillar.

After thinking for a long time without figuring it out, Yun Dan could only hide behind the pillar and listen to the conversation between the group of maidservants.

“I heard that Young Master Luoyue is the most beautiful person in the martial arts world. The women chasing him could form a line that circles Yong City, but unfortunately, no one has ever heard of any woman by his side. You don’t think he’s… a cut-sleeve, do you?”

The maidservant said in surprise: “No way! Such a handsome man, if he were cut-sleeve, that would be such a waste. But no matter how I look at it, he doesn’t seem like a cut-sleeve to me.”

“I heard that countless women have had their hearts broken over him. I heard that our manor’s eldest miss, the one born to the late madam, became lovesick over him and couldn’t eat or drink properly. Wherever Young Master Luoyue appears, she follows. I guess the eldest miss will be back soon.”

Yun Dan knew about the eldest miss they were talking about.

Because not long ago, Dongfang Wuwuchen had mentioned to her that he had an older sister.

She seemed to be called Tang Huairou or something like that.

She had originally just wanted to take a stroll, but who knew she would overhear this kind of gossip.

Yun Dan thought about her own miserable life.

She didn’t dare to do undercover work for now – saving her life was more important.

Who knows where that shadow guard was hiding and whether he would catch her directly.

But she didn’t know many people in the manor, let alone have any entertainment activities, so she could only listen to gossip here.

“Shh, we’re servants. Discussing our masters’ affairs here – are you tired of living? This isn’t something we can discuss. If the eldest miss comes back and hears us talking about her, with that temper of hers, she’ll definitely whip us.”

At the mention of this, the maidservant said somewhat indignantly, “Hmph, she’s clearly the manor’s eldest miss, but her temper is terrible. She’s simply a willful and unreasonable person. No wonder she’s twenty-two and still unmarried. If I were Young Master Luoyue, I’d also be afraid of such a woman. Being pestered by her, I even feel some sympathy for Young Master Luoyue.”

Although Yun Dan had never met Tang Huairou and didn’t know what kind of person she was, she still gathered some information from the maidservants’ conversation.

She couldn’t help but mentally light a candle for that legendary Young Master Luoyue.

She thought this person was quite pitiful, being pestered by such a willful rich lady – it was like a piece of dog shit that couldn’t be shaken off no matter what.

Fortunately, those two people only chatted for a while before leaving.

Otherwise, Yun Dan’s feet would have gone numb from standing.

Seeing that the people had left, Yun Dan finally came out and began wandering around the manor.

The bump on her forehead was still there, but because she had applied ointment and used an egg compress, it wasn’t as prominent as before.

If someone with poor eyesight encountered her, they might not even notice it.

The Death-Seeking System couldn’t help but complain: [Dear player, even if this game is too difficult, you shouldn’t think about giving up on life!]

Yun Dan put her hands on her hips and said, “Bullshit! What I did is called putting oneself in mortal danger to find a way to survive, okay? Who knows which nerve that madam got crossed, running over to trouble me and suspecting me of being a spy.”

[But you are a spy.]

Hearing this made Yun Dan want to spit blood.

“So what if I really am a spy? The way she treated me, wasn’t she hoping I’d prove my innocence? So showing my resolve through death is the best way. Isn’t that how all the TV dramas do it?”

However, Yun Dan still wasn’t very confident in her heart about whether she had succeeded.

Therefore, she could only silently pray that this madam wouldn’t come to trouble her again.

Yun Dan wasn’t very familiar with the manor, so after wandering around for a long time, she didn’t know where she had ended up.

After walking for a while and getting somewhat tired, she decided to sit down and rest properly.

She took several steps backward, intending to sit down, but accidentally tripped herself.

Her whole body involuntarily fell backward.

With a thud, Yun Dan crashed to the ground.

Face-first.

Yun Dan thought her luck today was really terrible.

Not only did she have a bump on her forehead, but now she had taken a fall. She wondered if her face was disfigured.

She raised her head, struggling to get up from the ground.

But she saw a pair of white boots appear in her line of sight.

Yun Dan looked up, following her gaze upward, and saw a man in white clothes standing in front of her.

The man held a folding fan in his hand and was looking at her with a smile.

Just one glance left Yun Dan stunned.

The man’s appearance was like that of a banished immortal, yet didn’t appear feminine. His exquisite features were like a piece of naturally carved beautiful jade, completely like a perfectly modeled face.

If there were immortals in this world, they would probably look like this.

The man chuckled softly and extended a hand toward Yun Dan, saying, “How long do you plan to lie on the ground? If you don’t need me to help you up, then I’ll withdraw my hand.”

As he spoke, he made a gesture of withdrawing his hand.

How could Yun Dan let this opportunity slip away? She directly raised her hand and placed it in his palm, then used his strength to get up.

“I am Young Master Luoyue, my name is Yan Ke. Are you a maidservant of the manor?”

So he was the legendary Young Master Luoyue.

No wonder those two maidservants were so excited.

She seemed to understand why Tang Huairou would like him.

Yun Dan felt that looking like this was completely understandable!

The Yan Ke before her eyes was too perfect, making her feel somewhat at a loss.

Having him pull her up just now almost felt like she was defiling him.

Yun Dan’s heart was extremely conflicted at this moment, thinking about what kind of opening line she should use to speak with him.

But after organizing her words for a long time, no matter how Yun Dan tried to speak, it seemed like it would desecrate this immortal.

“‘The face, once full of beauty, now fades away; the branch, once flourishing, now withers yellow’. Yan Ke—what a fine name! Truly, the person matches the name.”

Yun Dan felt fortunate that her liberal arts studies had been decent back then.

Otherwise, if she wanted to strike up a conversation, she probably couldn’t even find a suitable opening.

This was from “Nine Changes” written by Song Yu of the pre-Qin period.

She remembered that text was very long, and Yun Dan had struggled to memorize it for a long time before finally getting it down.

She never thought she would actually use it.

It seemed that ancient people really liked using poetry when naming.

Xiao Yueqing’s name was also from poetry, taken from “Spring River Flower Moon Night,” while Yan Ke’s name came from “Nine Changes.”

In a sense, the two of them probably had a lot in common.

Yan Ke looked Yun Dan up and down, then chuckled. “I didn’t expect you could recite this poem. My name does indeed come from this line. However, what’s your name? Why did you come to my courtyard?”

Only then did Yun Dan realize that she had somehow wandered into someone else’s courtyard.

No wonder she felt something was strange.

She never expected to encounter the legendary number one handsome man, Yan Ke.

No matter what, she had definitely profited from this!

If this were modern times, his fans would probably go crazy!
