After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 77

Because of this incident, Yun Dan directly dismissed her doubts.

She determined that Yan Ke and Xiao Yueqing were two different people.

She even mocked herself for a long time, feeling like she was some kind of pervert for actually trying to verify his identity like that.

Secondly, Yun Dan also felt somewhat guilty.

Yan Ke regarded her as a good friend, yet she had actually suspected him.

If Yan Ke were to find out, he would surely be very hurt.

After this incident, Yun Dan felt that she could never again do this kind of thing where she suspected others.

During this period, Yun Dan hadn’t found a suitable opportunity to search for the treasure map.

She couldn’t directly ask Dongfang Wuchen about it, as that would immediately expose her.

However, Yun Dan had never imagined that there would actually be other people spying on the treasure map.

One night, a large group of people launched a surprise attack on Mingyue Manor.

Yun Dan happened to be awake and immediately heard the sounds of swords clashing.

She quietly slipped out, thinking she should go notify Yan Ke and Dongfang Wuchen.

However, as soon as she went out, she was caught by someone.

A sword was placed directly across her neck.

“Are you from Mingyue Manor?”

Yun Dan nodded, then shook her head.

“No, I’m not from Mingyue Manor. I’m just staying here, but I have no connection to the manor.”

A person beside them chimed in. “Boss, if you ask me, we can’t easily let this woman go. She nods one moment and shakes her head the next—she’s probably deliberately lying.

Besides, if she’s not from Mingyue Manor, then why would she appear in this place? Does she think we’re easy to fool?”

In Yun Dan’s heart at this moment, it was truly like ten thousand alpacas galloping past.

She really wasn’t from Mingyue Manor!

It was just because she had been injured before and Dongfang Wuchen brought her into the manor to recuperate.

Later, because Dongfang Jue wanted to keep her there to get close to Yan Ke, she had stayed in this place.

But she really wasn’t part of the manor!

If they were looking for trouble with Mingyue Manor, they shouldn’t implicate her.

If she had known it was so dangerous outside, she wouldn’t have been such a good Samaritan and insisted on going out to notify Yan Ke and Dongfang Wuchen.

What should she do? This was truly terrible luck.

Yun Dan still tried to reason with this person.

“Big brother, let’s talk nicely, don’t pull out weapons like this. Besides, I really am not from Mingyue Manor. I was forcibly brought into the manor by them. I’m just an orphan girl.”

The man looked her up and down.

“Really?”

“Really.”

This group of people were quite certain that Yun Dan was from Mingyue Manor, so they didn’t let her go. Instead, they coerced her to walk with them.

The commotion from these people naturally couldn’t escape a supreme expert like Yan Ke.

When Yan Ke finally saw that group of people, the first thing he saw was Yun Dan being coerced.

Seeing the blade at her neck, Yan Ke couldn’t help but clench his fists.

How dare this group of people!

He took out his commonly used folding fan and assumed a battle-ready stance.

“Who are you people? Breaking into Mingyue Manor in the dead of night—do you truly not fear death?”

That group didn’t recognize Yan Ke and mistook him for the young manor lord.

Seeing how concerned he was about Yun Dan, they concluded that there must be a connection between the two.

“Ha, you must be Dongfang Wuchen. Tell your father to hand over the treasure map and we’ll release your wife. Otherwise, this blade won’t have eyes.”

For a moment, Yun Dan felt like this entire group were idiots.

Didn’t they investigate before coming?

Truly, there wasn’t a single piece of correct information in that sentence.

Mistaking someone’s identity was one thing.

But even setting that aside by ten thousand steps, she wasn’t Dongfang Wuchen’s wife either!

Yun Dan glared fiercely at that person and said angrily, “Wife my ass! This old lady is an unmarried maiden. You’re the one who’s married. I don’t even know him!”

However, this group naturally wouldn’t believe Yun Dan’s words.

Instead, they determined that her words were deliberate cover-up.

“Stop making excuses. He looks so nervous about you, and you’re telling us you don’t know each other? Are you trying to fool ghosts? Do you really think we’re idiots?”

Yun Dan thought to herself: What are you if not idiots?

Should I praise you for being really smart instead?

She didn’t know who sent these fools, but they didn’t look very intelligent. It would be a miracle if they could get the treasure map.

Yan Ke didn’t want to waste words with this group.

What he hated most in his life was being threatened by others.

Especially when innocent people were involved this time.

Even though he wasn’t from Mingyue Manor, this time this group had thoroughly crossed his bottom line.

That group thought Yan Ke was a soft persimmon.

But before they could even speak, they were killed with one strike.

It turned out Yan Ke’s movements were so fast that he directly slashed that person’s throat.

Seeing this, the group stopped talking and left one person to guard Yun Dan while the rest rushed at Yan Ke.

Yun Dan could only silently pray in her heart, hoping Yan Ke would be alright.

Yan Ke’s movements were smooth and flowing, the folding fan in his hand like a sharp weapon. With almost no effort at all, he easily ended those people’s lives.

Previously, if someone had told Yun Dan that someone’s fighting looked like dancing, she would have scoffed at it.

But now, she truly believed it.

Some people’s inherent elegance and temperament couldn’t be concealed.

Even while killing, it didn’t seem terrifying at all.

The blood that splattered from slashed throats stained his white robes, yet it only added to his aesthetic appeal.

Such a large commotion naturally couldn’t be hidden from the others in the manor.

Before long, almost everyone had arrived.

Dongfang Wuchen naturally also saw Yun Dan being captured at first glance and attacked in that direction, trying to rescue Yun Dan.

Yun Dan silently cried out in alarm.

She thought this Dongfang Wuchen was still too young—he actually didn’t go after that group of people first.

They weren’t killing her precisely because they were using her as bait!

Yun Dan suddenly felt the person behind her fumbling for something and quickly opened her mouth to warn him.

“Young Manor Lord Dongfang, be careful!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, a packet of white powder was scattered toward Dongfang Wuchen.

Dongfang Wuchen couldn’t dodge in time and inhaled quite a bit.

He retreated several steps before finally stabilizing his form.

Not knowing what this powder was, Dongfang Wuchen could clearly feel something was wrong with his condition—his vision was actually starting to blur.

He struggled to steady himself but still tilted his head to the side and collapsed.

The other people from the manor quickly transferred Dongfang Wuchen away.

Yan Ke looked at Dongfang Wuchen being carried away and at Yun Dan still being coerced, and the anger in his heart grew even more.

He dealt with the surrounding people at the fastest speed, then flew toward Yun Dan’s direction.

That person’s martial arts were no match for Yan Ke, and he was pushed aside in just a few moves.

With a slight exertion of force, Yun Dan’s entire body was pulled into Yan Ke’s embrace.

“Are you alright?”

However, in the next instant, Yan Ke felt his entire body being bumped.

It wasn’t until warm blood splattered on his face that he realized Yun Dan had blocked a sword for him.

“Yun Dan!”

“As long as you’re alright…”
