After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 67

At this moment, Yun Dan still wanted to act tough.

“What would happen if I don’t want to carry out this temporary mission? Is it mandatory? Will I be punished?”

[Of course it’s not mandatory, but if you don’t complete it, there will be random negative buffs, such as having bad luck for three days, getting food stuck in your teeth when drinking water, and so on]

Great.

Yun Dan thought that if she had bad luck for three days, after thinking it over, she decided to bite the bullet and enter this battle royale herself.

At least this battle royale wouldn’t give her bad luck for three days, nor would it make her get food stuck in her teeth when drinking water.

To put it bluntly, if she really had bad luck for three days, who knows what unfortunate things would happen during those three days.

What if she accidentally broke her arms and legs and lay there unable to move? That would be too tragic.

After thinking it over, Yun Dan still gritted her teeth and accepted this so-called battle royale mission.

But she still needed an opportunity.

If she jumped out directly now and actively said she wanted to play “Phoenix Seeking Phoenix,” it would make her seem rather scheming.

If a divine assist appeared at this moment and she then jumped in, that would be perfect.

However, her luck was just that good. She was still thinking about when the divine assist would come online, and it was delivered right to her door!

“I hear Miss Yun Dan’s talents are quite impressive. Why don’t you play a piece at tonight’s banquet?”

Yun Dan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person sitting there was none other than Tang Huairou.

She was looking at her with a smug expression.

Yun Dan finally knew where that eerie gaze from earlier had come from—it was Tang Huairou, wasn’t it?

Although on the surface Yun Dan appeared very troubled and even somewhat at a loss, she was actually secretly delighted inside.

“Death-Seeking System, this is really like someone bringing a pillow when you’re sleepy. I was just wondering who could give me this divine assist so I could jump in without seeming too lotus-white. I never expected Tang Huairou to really deliver herself to my door. This is the first time I feel like I love her so much.”

[Cough cough, respected player, please don’t forget that your conquest target is Xiao Yueqing, not Tang Huairou]

“Of course I know who my conquest target is. I was just joking.”

Since the divine assist had already appeared, it was now time for Yun Dan’s performance.

She first pretended to look bewildered and troubled, saying, “I did study the qin for a few years, but I don’t play very well. I can hardly be called talented. Miss Tang, you really flatter me too much.”

Tang Huairou wanted exactly this kind of response.

What she had just said was complete nonsense anyway; she just wanted to see Yun Dan in a difficult position, unable to get off the stage.

Although Father had told her not to interfere with Yun Dan seducing Yan Ke.

But thinking about her sitting with Yan Ke made Tang Huairou feel very disgusted, and she wanted to find an opportunity to provoke her.

Sitting at the front, Dongfang Jue couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.

Hadn’t he made it very clear to Tang Huairou that day?

He didn’t expect this daughter to behave for just a few days before becoming restless again.

He quickly came out wanting to smooth things over and put an end to this matter.

“Miss Yun is a guest of our Mingyue Manor. Huairou, you mustn’t be rude.”

Tang Huairou snorted lightly, showing some dissatisfaction.

“Father, I was just joking. I never intended to make things difficult for Miss Yun. Besides, Miss Yun doesn’t look like the type to be petty over small matters. Miss Yun, don’t you agree?”

This really threw the question back to Yun Dan.

But fortunately, everything was under Yun Dan’s control. She had long known that Dongfang Jue was an old fox who would definitely come out to smooth things over.

After all, if this matter escalated, it would be embarrassing for him, and it would make Yan Ke develop some dissatisfaction with Mingyue Manor.

Yun Dan muttered in her heart, “Can’t Tang Huairou put in more effort? She wouldn’t give up her intentions and quietly become a well-educated and reasonable young lady just because of Dongfang Jue’s few words, would she?”

How would she complete this mandatory mission then?

But obviously, Yun Dan had underestimated Tang Huairou’s level of hatred toward her.

Tang Huairou was slightly restrained due to what Dongfang Jue had just said, but she still wanted to see Yun Dan make a fool of herself.

“Father, I’m just curious. Besides, Miss Yun Dan is quite pretty too. I’m sure what she said earlier was just being modest. Why don’t we have her play a piece for us? Wuchen could accompany her on the flute.”

Yun Dan thought to herself: Good heavens, you’re even dragging your brother into this.

When this woman gets ruthless, she’s really not ordinary.

This saved her from having to actively invite Dongfang Wuchen to accompany her on the flute.

Really, thanks to Tang Huairou for arranging everything for her all at once.

Seeing that almost everyone was staring at her, Yun Dan could only pretend to look somewhat troubled and say, “If everyone doesn’t mind, then I’ll make a fool of myself.”

She then turned to look at Dongfang Wuchen and pleaded, “Young Master Dongfang, I don’t know very many pieces, and I’m only relatively proficient at ‘Phoenix Seeking Phoenix.’ I wonder if Young Master Dongfang could accompany me?”

Dongfang Wuchen didn’t mind too much and ordered someone to fetch a flute.

“Naturally, I can. However, I haven’t played the flute for a long time and might be a bit rusty. I still know ‘Phoenix Seeking Phoenix.'”

Although their conversation wasn’t very loud, since they were sitting so close, Yan Ke naturally heard every word of their exchange clearly.

Yan Ke looked at the teacup in his hand, but his eyes were full of coldness.

Phoenix Seeking Phoenix…

He wanted to say that he could also play the flute. Why didn’t Yun Dan invite him to play the flute?

Wasn’t she supposed to agree to Dongfang Jue’s request to come seduce him?

This was adding to his frustration, wasn’t it?

Soon, the flute was brought over, and a guqin was also set up in front of Yun Dan.

Because she was already mentally prepared, Yun Dan wasn’t really panicked.

It was just that when she stood up, she didn’t notice the expression on Yan Ke’s face at that moment.

She really could play the guqin. Because she was bored and wanted to pass time, she had simply enrolled in a guzheng class.

Who knew that in modern times she rarely had opportunities to play, but in ancient times she could still perform.

Yun Dan recalled the melody of “Phoenix Seeking Phoenix” and sang while playing.

“Phoenix, oh phoenix, return to your homeland, roaming the four seas seeking your mate…”

She naturally knew that “Phoenix Seeking Phoenix” was written by Sima Xiangru to court Zhuo Wenjun.

Many people even used it for confessions.

The Death-Seeking System having her find Dongfang Wuchen to play “Phoenix Seeking Phoenix” must have had a special reason.

But what was the reason?

When the piece finished, Tang Huairou was so shocked she couldn’t speak.

Her original intention was to provoke Yun Dan and make her embarrass herself.

She never expected that in the end, she’d let Yun Dan gain face while she herself looked like the villain.

Damn it, she failed to get at Yun Dan again!
