After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 78

Yan Ke had never imagined that one day someone would block a sword for him.

But the blood on his face kept reminding him that Yun Dan had truly blocked the sword for him.

And that sword wound must have been very deep.

The violent rage within Yan Ke’s body was thoroughly triggered at this moment.

He picked up a nearby sword and directly severed that person’s arm with one strike.

That person was startled by this side of Yan Ke, and disregarding the pain in his arm, he retreated step by step, trying to beg for mercy.

“Spare my life, great hero. I didn’t mean it. I was just following orders.”

But how could Yan Ke easily spare this person?

Without a moment’s hesitation, he directly slashed the person’s throat.

That person died with his eyes wide open, unable to believe what had just happened.

Looking at the person who had already expired, Yan Ke only coldly dropped a single line.

“You hurt someone you shouldn’t have. Cutting off one of your arms and killing you is getting off easy. You should be glad you’re here and not…”

If this had been at Tianqing Manor, Yan Ke would have definitely buried him directly under the passion flowers as fertilizer.

This so-called assassination ultimately ended in failure.

However, both Yun Dan and Dongfang Wuchen were unfortunately injured.

Dongfang Wuchen was the young manor lord, so naturally many people were concerned about him.

But Yun Dan’s presence was relatively insignificant, and no one paid attention to her.

Without a word, Yan Ke directly scooped up Yun Dan in his arms and only left one sentence. “You’re responsible for Dongfang Wuchen, I’m responsible for saving Yun Dan. Don’t disturb me.”

These people naturally knew Yan Ke’s words were serious and didn’t dare to disturb him easily.

“Young Master Luoyue, if there’s anything you need, just command us.”

Although Dongfang Jue was more worried about his own son, after all, if it weren’t for Yan Ke, this assassination attempt would have been hard to say.

Who told Yan Ke to have the highest martial arts skills among everyone present?

Yan Ke ran all the way while carrying Yun Dan.

Until he arrived outside a room, then he lifted his foot and directly kicked open the door.

He simply examined Yun Dan’s wound. Fortunately, the injury was at the shoulder position, still far from the heart.

That person’s kung fu wasn’t up to par, so even their assassination attempt was off target.

But if it had been just one inch closer, Yun Dan might have truly lost her life.

This was the third time in all these years that Yan Ke felt afraid.

The first time was when his father passed away when he was five or six years old.

The second time was his mother’s abandonment and scheming.

No, actually there was one more time.

That was ten years ago.

Yan Ke found the wound medicine he had made from a nearby shelf and carefully treated her wound.

Looking at Yun Dan’s now bloodless face, Yan Ke’s heart was also touched.

“I really didn’t expect you would block a sword for me. Actually, that sword wouldn’t have caused me much harm. Even if it had really stabbed me, my life wouldn’t have been in danger. But you’re different.”

The wound had now been completely treated, but Yan Ke still didn’t know when Yun Dan would wake up.

He felt so helpless for the first time.

If something like this had happened at Tianqing Manor, he definitely wouldn’t have let Yun Dan be in any life-threatening danger.

Nor would he have allowed those people to die so painlessly—instead, he would have turned them all into fertilizer for the flowers.

He tightly grasped Yun Dan’s hand and pleaded. “Please wake up quickly, okay? This is the first time I’ve felt so helpless, so afraid of a life slipping away before my eyes. Didn’t you say I haven’t yet met the person who would buy me candied hawthorn? So will you buy it for me? Next time, I promise I’ll definitely finish it.”

On Dongfang Wuchen’s side, things were obviously not optimistic either.

Mulan came from the Tang Sect and naturally had much experience with poisons.

Therefore, after taking his pulse, Mulan could determine that Dongfang Wuchen was definitely poisoned.

“Ah Jue, I suspect Wuchen has been poisoned, this kind of poison is just like what he had back then.”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jue’s heart instantly went cold.

Over these years, too many people wanted to seize the treasure map. Back then, Dongfang Wuchen was directly poisoned with a lethal toxin.

That poison had no antidote available.

In the end, it was Mulan who researched for a long time before finally finding an antidote.

But now that many years had passed, who knew if the antidote could still be made.

“Mulan, can you still make the same antidote?”

Mulan shook her head. She couldn’t be certain about this either.

Back then, this poison was extremely tricky. She had also researched for a long time before finally finding a way to remove the poison from Dongfang Wuchen’s body.

But now that more than ten years had passed, Mulan couldn’t be certain whether she could find an antidote.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jue’s eyes immediately reddened.

He tightly grasped Dongfang Wuchen’s hand and sighed. “I’ve harmed our son. If this treasure map weren’t in our Mingyue Manor, nothing like this would have happened at all, and Wuchen wouldn’t have encountered this kind of thing twice.”

Since the matter had already occurred, Mulan couldn’t say any words of blame toward Dongfang Jue.

She could only pat his shoulder and comfort him. “Ah Jue, don’t worry too much. Right now Wuchen’s body is in good condition. I have medicine here that can temporarily suppress the toxicity and buy some time. I believe that given some time, I’ll definitely be able to find a solution. If worst comes to worst, I’ll go beg him.”

Dongfang Jue knew who that “him” Mulan spoke of was.

But this time he was still somewhat worried.

“If you go find him, he may not help. Moreover, Wuchen’s poison probably can’t be delayed for that long. If we can’t find an antidote within three days, Wuchen will lose his life.”

This poison was even more powerful than the one Dongfang Wuchen had been poisoned with in his childhood.

Although it was the same type of poison, after all, this was his second poisoning, so naturally his body couldn’t compare to before.

The damage the poison would cause to his body would also be greater.

Looking at the unconscious Dongfang Wuchen, Mulan ultimately still made that decision.

As soon as day broke, Mulan quietly set out.

She didn’t tell anyone else, but left the manor driving the carriage herself.

She wanted to gamble—gamble that that person could save her son.

If that really didn’t work, she could still seek help from the Tang Sect.

When she arrived at Tianqing Manor, Yue Po naturally stopped her.

“Madam Dongfang, why have you come to Tianqing Manor today?”

Mulan also knew she was now asking for a favor, so she could only lower her attitude and said, “I have business with your manor master. Please announce my arrival.”

Yue Po didn’t even think before directly refusing.

These so-called righteous sect people coming to their Tianqing Manor must have ill intentions.

You should know that countless righteous sects under heaven all wanted their master dead.

Moreover, this was Dongfang Jue’s wife, the wife of the former alliance leader.

As someone most opposed to Tianqing Manor, Yue Po naturally wouldn’t easily let her in.

“If Madam Dongfang wants to come as a spy and do something to our master, you’d better give up that idea. Mingyue Manor is at least a righteous sect—surely you wouldn’t be so despicable?”
