After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 65

Xiao Yueqing did not answer.

Fortunately, Yun Dan hadn’t expected Xiao Yueqing to give her a direct response anyway, so she began treating his wounds on her own.

After the special training during the previous period, Yun Dan’s wound-treating skills had improved considerably compared to before.

She even tied a beautiful butterfly knot for Xiao Yueqing.

After the wound was properly treated, Xiao Yueqing straightened his sleeves and asked her in return, “What about you? How are things for you in the manor now?”

At the mention of this matter, Yun Dan felt extremely annoyed.

She couldn’t help but complain to Xiao Yueqing.

“Master, let me tell you, I’m feeling particularly, particularly depressed right now. Do you know that Dongfang Jue actually asked me to seduce Yan Ke!”

Xiao Yueqing was drinking water at the time.

Upon hearing this, he couldn’t help himself and spat out a mouthful of water directly.

Realizing his loss of composure, he quickly set down his cup.

Fortunately, Yun Dan was completely absorbed in her disgust toward Dongfang Jue and didn’t notice Xiao Yueqing’s reaction just now.

“Do you think this old manor lord has something wrong with his brain? He actually called me over to chat just to get me to seduce Yan Ke. Young Master Luoyue’s aesthetic standards surely haven’t declined to such a degree, right?

And this plain, unremarkable type—could she really seduce him? What a joke. I’m not even someone from Mingyue Manor, yet he actually threatened me to seduce someone. It’s infuriating! He’s just bullying me because I’m an orphaned girl with no one to protect me.”

Xiao Yueqing covered his mouth and chuckled softly before saying, “He wants you to seduce some Young Master Luoyue? This old manor lord really can come up with anything. But what you said just now shows quite a bit of self-awareness—Young Master Luoyue doesn’t look like the type who would be easily hooked.”

Having her seduce him was one thing, but the key issue was that Yun Dan didn’t really understand Yan Ke that well. They had barely exchanged a few words.

Having her seduce him was practically giving her an impossible task.

Yun Dan sighed listlessly at Xiao Yueqing, shaking her head and saying, “The key and most serious problem is that I really don’t understand Yan Ke at all. We’ve only met twice in total, and I feel like he’s someone who’s very hard to figure out. Someone like me—he definitely wouldn’t be interested.

Secondly, I don’t know enough about him. But you, Master—Master, do you understand Young Master Luoyue? What kind of person is he? And also, does he like men or women? What if he prefers men? Then wouldn’t I just be making a fool of myself?”

Xiao Yueqing’s face darkened.

If it weren’t for the fact that the person in front of him was his own disciple, he would have kicked her flying long ago.

She was actually asking him what kind of person Yan Ke was.

How was he supposed to answer that?

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Yueqing managed to come up with a few sentences.

“He’s from the Heavenly Sword Sect, but he’s like a free-floating cloud or wild crane—it’s really difficult for ordinary people to find out where he actually is.

Moreover, this person’s martial arts are profound, almost unfathomably deep. There are particularly many people who want to win him over, but most people cannot succeed.

I think this Dongfang Jue must have gotten the idea of winning over Yan Ke, which is why he’s looking for someone to approach Yan Ke. As for why he chose you specifically, I haven’t figured that out yet.”

On this point, Yun Dan offered her own perspective.

“Master, let me tell you, I think Dongfang Jue must have guessed that Yan Ke really dislikes Tang Huairou. If he had his own daughter seduce and approach Yan Ke, he would have driven Yan Ke away long ago.

He wants me to seduce Yan Ke because he definitely wants to find every possible way to win this person over and keep him at Mingyue Manor completely. But Tang Huairou isn’t a good choice because there’s conflict between the two of them.

If he had Tang Huairou seduce Yan Ke, it would directly drive the person away. So I became a better choice. But I still can’t understand—there are plenty of young servant girls in Mingyue Manor, and some are prettier than me, so why did he have to choose me?

Because I’m not a servant, plus I was brought into the manor by Dongfang Wuchen, does he think I’m easy to threaten? I used to not believe the saying that ‘a bed can’t sleep two different kinds of people,’ but now I believe it. This married couple are both no good—Mulan is just bad on the surface, but this Dongfang Jue is a real old bastard!”

Xiao Yueqing understood everything up front.

But what did that last phrase “old bastard” mean?

For the first time, Xiao Yueqing felt like he and Yun Dan had communication difficulties.

But he didn’t want to ask about it either.

He really didn’t know that Dongfang Jue, this old fox, had actually formed such intentions.

But perhaps he couldn’t guess what Dongfang Jue’s true purpose really was? He could only simply speculate that Dongfang Jue had ulterior motives regarding Yan Ke.

But how could Xiao Yueqing not know?

Because he was Yan Ke!

So when Yun Dan had asked him earlier, wanting to inquire about his opinion of Yan Ke, Xiao Yueqing had been momentarily stunned.

How was he supposed to describe himself?

Should he praise himself to the skies?

Although those things were also facts, when he really had to praise himself, Xiao Yueqing still felt a little embarrassed.

But he also had to admit that the identity of Yan Ke was really too convenient.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used this identity for several years.

Of course, having such a renowned identity had also caused him some troubles—for instance, he had been entangled by Dongfang Jue’s daughter, Tang Huairou.

If there were regret medicine in this world, Xiao Yueqing felt that three years ago he never would have participated in that so-called martial arts assembly.

It wouldn’t have mattered who begged him.

Who knew that after he went up and casually exchanged a few moves, he would defeat Tang Huairou, that show-off, and drag himself into being entangled by such a persistent pest.

Actually, this time Xiao Yueqing really hadn’t wanted to come here originally.

But firstly, he was somewhat worried about Yun Dan.

Secondly, he also wanted to infiltrate Mingyue Manor more deeply.

For example, compared to the name Xiao Yueqing, the name and identity of Yan Ke obviously made it easier to gain trust.

“Since Dongfang Jue has given you such a task, why don’t you tell me what your plan is?”

How was Yun Dan supposed to answer this?

“I’m not lacking in self-awareness—how could Young Master Luoyue be interested in me? How many beauties has he seen? Besides, Master, didn’t you say I’m just a bean sprout? What normal man would like me?”

Bean sprout…

Xiao Yueqing remembered—this was the nickname he had given Yun Dan.

Actually, he had just wanted to tease her a bit; he didn’t mean to look down on her.

However, during this period, his disciple had gained some weight. At least when she threw herself into his arms, she definitely wouldn’t feel as bony and uncomfortable as the first time they met.

It seemed the food at Mingyue Manor was quite good.

Xiao Yueqing took a sip of tea.

Seduce him…

He was quite curious about what kind of surprise this little girl would give him when the time came.
