After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 50

After knowing each other for so long, Yun Dan certainly knew that Xiao Yueqing was the type who responded to gentle persuasion rather than force.

Whenever she was in front of him, she would make an effort to act submissive, say nice things to coax him, and everything would work out fine.

After all, her life was still in his hands, so she absolutely couldn’t court death.

“Master, I really have no improper thoughts about Young Master Luoyue. Although I did look at him several times back then, I swear I was only surprised. If I’m lying, may I be struck by lightning.”

Rumble— suddenly, thunder sounded outside the window.

At this moment, ten thousand alpacas galloped through Yun Dan’s heart.

Was Heaven deliberately opposing her?

Even Xiao Yueqing couldn’t help but suddenly laugh.

“It seems even Heaven doesn’t acknowledge it, proving you really were lying. By the way, what’s with that bump on your forehead? Don’t tell me you bumped it yourself — your master isn’t that easy to fool.”

Earlier, when facing Yan Ke, Yun Dan didn’t want to complicate matters, so she just made up a casual excuse to get by.

But the person before her now was Xiao Yueqing, definitely not someone so easily fooled.

Thinking of this, Yun Dan instantly displayed actress-level acting skills.

She pretended to be very sad and wiped away tears, though there wasn’t actually a single tear.

To make her performance realistic, Yun Dan took the opportunity to throw herself into Xiao Yueqing’s embrace, pretending to cry while saying, “Master, you don’t know — your disciple almost died today, wuu wuu… really almost lost my life. This bump on my forehead is proof. Master, you almost never saw me again!”

Sure enough, Xiao Yueqing’s attention was completely drawn to the bump on her forehead.

For a moment, he really forgot what he had come here to do.

“What happened? What exactly occurred? Who bullied you?”

Seeing that Xiao Yueqing didn’t seem angry and was genuinely concerned about her, Yun Dan told him about the day’s events.

“Master, let me tell you, that manor lady Mulan — I suspect something’s wrong with her brain. She actually thought I had improper designs on her son, then brought me over and insisted I was a spy, forcing me to hit a pillar to prove my innocence with death. Fortunately, my luck was bad, otherwise Master would never see me again.”

At this point, describing herself as pitiful certainly couldn’t be wrong.

Moreover, she was quite curious about what Xiao Yueqing would say.

After a long while, he finally spoke, “Mulan is no great philanthropist. Everything she displays now is just what she wants everyone to see, not her true personality.”

“Her troubling you definitely isn’t simply because of Dongfang Wuchen. It’s very likely she’s deliberately looking for trouble with you. Although you used the death-proof method today and temporarily dispelled her suspicions, when you continue staying at Mingyue Manor in the future, try to avoid contact with Mulan.

Although I don’t particularly like Dongfang Wuchen either, he is Mulan’s most beloved son after all. If you could get Dongfang Wuchen to protect you, it would also eliminate Mulan’s thoughts of making a move against you.”

Hearing Xiao Yueqing’s words, Yun Dan also understood that the so-called gentle, refined, and unworldly manor lady was actually not as easy to get along with as she appeared on the surface.

He paused, then continued, “Your death-defying act of hitting the pillar today was indeed something she never anticipated, so it caught her completely off guard. With you in this condition now, she temporarily has no way to continue troubling you, but this doesn’t mean she really won’t make a move against you.”

“Women are all hypocritical; many are just pretending. Many people in the martial world say she’s approachable and a great philanthropist. It’s just that they haven’t seen the evil deeds she’s done, but I believe they’ll be exposed someday.”

Yun Dan nodded obediently.

But in her heart, she was thinking that Xiao Yueqing seemed very approachable today, even telling her so many things.

He even warned her not to provoke Mulan.

This would absolutely be impossible under normal circumstances.

“Dongfang Wuchen is very simple-minded. If you stay by his side and find a way to make him protect you, the probability of you being able to stay peacefully at this manor would be very high.

After all, Dongfang Wuchen is her most beloved son. She won’t so blatantly make a move against someone her son wants to protect. However, if you encounter this kind of situation again next time, you’d better find a way to let Dongfang Wuchen know, and you can also take the opportunity to sow discord between the mother and son, letting him see Mulan’s true face.”

Now Yun Dan completely understood.

“So Master hopes I can gain Dongfang Wuchen’s trust, then at the right moment, find a way to sow discord in their mother-son relationship and make them become enemies?”

Xiao Yueqing didn’t deny this.

He lazily yawned and said, “Is it strange? I’m not a good person to begin with. It’s just that when someone has done evil deeds, they should be made to show their true face no matter what. Otherwise, it’s completely unfair to the former victims.”

Yun Dan blinked but still didn’t quite understand the meaning in Xiao Yueqing’s words.

Her intuition told her that he and Mulan definitely had a grudge between them.

But she really couldn’t guess the specific reason.

“Then I understand. However, Dongfang Wuchen seems to have quite a few hidden guards around him. I temporarily can’t carry out undercover work because I don’t know if my actions will be discovered by the hidden guards and reported to Dongfang Wuchen.

Actually, it would be fine if Dongfang Wuchen found out — he wouldn’t do something like silencing me. But if it were reported to Mulan, I’m afraid the grass on my grave would be three meters high in no time. I feel she’s the type who likes to eliminate problems at the root, otherwise she wouldn’t have treated me that way.”

At some point, Xiao Yueqing had taken out a white jar and said, “This ointment is good for the bump on your forehead. Don’t give me any nonsense about the Divine Physician Sect disciple having looked at it — his medical skills are still far inferior to mine. Come, let me apply it for you.”

Xiao Yueqing had never really interacted much with women after all.

The force with which he applied the ointment was simply like torturing Yun Dan.

The pain made Yun Dan immediately grimace.

“Master, it hurts! This bump on my forehead is particularly painful. Could you not use so much force? I’m going to die!”

Seeing that she seemed to be genuinely in pain, Xiao Yueqing’s movements became gentler.

“So delicate, can’t even endure a little hardship. How have you managed to survive until now?”

Yun Dan: “……”

She wasn’t from this world — she had lived quite successfully in her original world.

How could she not have survived until now?

“That’s not true. People like me are actually the most likely to survive until the end. Believe it or not, if I went out with you, others would definitely come to attack you first and would definitely think I was being coerced by you. So that’s the difference, Master. Who told me to be so cute?”
