After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 59

Just as Yun Dan was thinking about what else she and Yan Ke would need to discuss later, he spoke first.

Yan Ke set down the teacup in his hand and said, “Now that Tang Huairou has returned to the manor, she harbored some resentment toward you today, so she may hold interested grudges against you. You should try to avoid these situations as much as possible.

If I’m not around, you can stay close to Dongfang Wuchen or Wuyou. When other people are present, Tang Huairou can’t act too outrageously either. But if she catches you alone and I’m not there, it would be very difficult for anyone to protect you.”

Yun Dan naturally believed this point.

The look in Tang Huairou’s eyes before she left today – Yun Dan felt it was simply like she wanted to devour someone alive.

In her heart, she had probably already cursed her thoroughly.

If it weren’t for Yan Ke being present, Tang Huairou probably would have wanted to finish her off on the spot.

However, Yun Dan was quite happy about what Yan Ke had just said.

At least at this moment, he wasn’t joking with her, but was genuinely reminding her.

“I will naturally remember all this. I also think Miss Tang probably won’t let this matter rest easily this time. But really, it’s all because you’re too much of a troublemaker.”

“I originally saw you dozing off over there and was afraid you’d catch cold, so I brought clothes to cover you. I didn’t expect that woman to come up and try to whip me with her whip. Honestly! In the end, it’s still because you attract too many admirers. What kind of rotten peach blossoms are you attracting?”

Yan Ke wasn’t unaware of what had caused the incident.

Although he was resting, that didn’t mean he was truly sound asleep and oblivious to everything.

Otherwise, he couldn’t have caught that whip in the first instant and saved Yun Dan’s life.

If he hadn’t noticed, when Yun Dan was struck by that whip, she would probably have been disfigured directly, and would certainly have suffered severe injuries.

Now that Tang Huairou had returned to the manor, it was also a very troublesome matter for Yan Ke.

He really didn’t want to provoke this great Buddha anymore.

Unfortunately, this great Buddha had been pestering him for three years, so he always had to find ways to avoid her.

Mingyue Manor was Tang Huairou’s stronghold.

She was originally the manor’s young miss. As the host, he, as a guest, had to give her some face no matter what.

If Tang Huairou made some outrageous moves toward him again, Yan Ke didn’t know what to do.

But he still kindly reminded Yun Dan.

After all, she currently had no ability to protect herself.

If he wasn’t in the manor, or was called away by people like Dongfang Jue to discuss matters, and she encountered Tang Huairou alone, she would likely be in great danger.

Over these three years, quite a few women who had admired him had all been tormented by Tang Huairou.

Even if he considered marrying someone in the future.

It absolutely couldn’t be someone like Tang Huairou.

****

Tang Huairou put down what she was holding and hurried to Dongfang Jue’s room. At this moment, only Dongfang Jue was left in the room.

Tang Huairou had specifically inquired that Mulan wasn’t in this place before coming over.

Mulan wasn’t her birth mother, so naturally their relationship wasn’t particularly good.

What she could manage was just not to embarrass herself.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t always prefer to live on the Tang Sect side.

At least grandfather, grandmother and those people were still good to her, much more comfortable than in Mingyue Manor.

If it weren’t for learning that Yan Ke had come to the manor this time, Tang Huairou probably wouldn’t have returned in the short term.

After last night’s healing treatment, Dongfang Jue’s complexion had improved considerably.

Seeing Tang Huairou arrive, he struggled to sit up.

Seeing this, Tang Huairou quickly ran over and grasped his hands.

“Father, what happened to you? How is it that after this daughter went out once, you became like this? Who exactly wanted to harm father?”

Dongfang Jue coughed lightly and said, “You’re fine now. Thanks to Young Master Luoyue helping with the healing treatment, I was able to recover. Fortunately, your stepmother Mulan happened to keep them staying temporarily at the manor, otherwise with the injuries father sustained, I wouldn’t have been able to wake up so quickly.”

Although Tang Huairou didn’t like Mulan, she had to be grateful for Mulan’s actions in keeping Young Master Luoyue and the others within the manor.

Otherwise, when she returned today, she couldn’t have encountered Yan Ke.

But since she had returned, she naturally couldn’t take the initiative to mention Yan Ke first. She should express her filial devotion first.

“Father, you really suffered. If daughter knew exactly who wanted to harm father, I would definitely make them pay. Who dares to hurt my father!

However, this Young Master Luoyue seems quite good. After I returned, I heard people in the manor saying that Young Master Luoyue supposedly helped you with healing treatment for most of the night. Such a good person – we should thank him properly.”

How could Dongfang Jue not hear the underlying meaning in his daughter’s words?

Thinking about this matter, Dongfang Jue felt very much a headache.

He didn’t know what was wrong with his daughter, to be so infatuated, stubbornly admiring Yan Ke for three years.

If it were someone else, he could threaten and bribe the other party, and they might comply and truly agree to become his son-in-law.

But the person in question was Yan Ke, Young Master Luoyue of the Heavenly Sword Sect – this was difficult to handle.

He could only pat Tang Huairou’s hand and comfort her. “Yan Ke is indeed at the manor now, but father still must remind you – you can’t make trouble like you did in the past.

Do you know what the outside world is saying about you now? They all say you’re too shrewish, tormenting those who admire Yan Ke so badly that this is why Yan Ke doesn’t like you.

If it were other people, father could use pressure from his position as former alliance leader, plus promise some benefits, and perhaps they would agree directly. But Yan Ke is different – he’s from the Heavenly Sword Sect, and his martial arts are powerful.

Current rumors in the martial world say he’s very likely to be the next alliance leader. Such a person is proud and arrogant, probably not so easy to win over. Not to mention anything else, when father previously tried to win him over, he deflected it. This person hasn’t relented for three years – he’s a tough nut to crack.”

Even if his daughter didn’t like Yan Ke, how many people wouldn’t want to form an alliance with such a talented person?

Unfortunately, this person was impervious to both threats and bribes. No matter how many conditions were offered, he wouldn’t relent.

That he could come to Mingyue Manor this time was also because people had been stationed at the Heavenly Sword Sect for a long time before finally getting information about him and having him invited over.

Thinking about it now, it was somewhat a blessing in disguise.

At least he had gotten the person to come over.

Last night, didn’t he benefit by having him help with healing treatment for most of the night?

Although Tang Huairou knew everything her father said was true.

Her unwillingness was also genuine.

“Do you think such a person really has a heart made of stone? Why is it that I’ve waited for him for three years, and he remains unmoved? I’ve waited for him until I’ve become an old maid, and it’s not like I lack suitors…”
