After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 86

Xiao Yueqing had actually never hated Dongfang Wuchen this much before.

Because none of this was something Dongfang Wuchen could control or cause.

It could only be said that Mu Lan chose to sacrifice and use him.

Many times he would think, why must he bear and repay the grudges caused by the previous generation?

When had fate ever been fair to him?

In the end, Xiao Yueqing still didn’t blame Dongfang Wuchen. He only patted his shoulder and said, “You came here to find the truth, right? Now that you know the truth, Tianqing Manor isn’t suitable for you to stay at any longer. You should leave first.”

Dongfang Wuchen had no choice but to leave first.

However, on the way back, he kept thinking about how his older brother had suffered so much for him and even saved his life twice.

Yet he himself had brought so many disasters upon him.

He didn’t know what kind of feelings he should have when facing his mother.

From the perspective of familial love, Mu Lan’s actions were indeed to save him, her younger son.

But it was unfair to Xiao Yueqing.

His own life was exchanged for Xiao Yueqing enduring so much suffering.

“What should I do? Mother hates brother so much, but brother has helped me so much. Without him, I would have died long ago. What should I do, caught in the middle?”

Dongfang Wuchen had never been this troubled before.

After struggling for a long time, he ultimately decided to follow his heart.

No matter what others thought, in his heart, Xiao Yueqing would always be his older brother, and Xiao Yueqing would never harm him.

If mother had any plans to harm his brother, he must notify his brother immediately.

After Dongfang Wuchen returned, only then did Yue Po slowly walk to Xiao Yueqing’s side.

“Master, didn’t you say not to let anyone from Mingyue Manor in, but why is he different to you?”

Xiao Yueqing didn’t turn around, only replied calmly, “Because he’s my younger brother, my half-brother from the same mother, and also my only living relative in this world.”

Although Yue Po had guessed it before, he was still somewhat shocked when he actually heard the truth.

“So after the old madam left Tianqing Manor that year, she actually married the manor lord of Mingyue Manor and then gave birth to this Dongfang Wuchen?”

That would explain everything.

No wonder the master would occasionally run to Mingyue Manor before, but only to look each time.

He had even sent him several times to save this young man.

At first, he thought the master had some kind of cut-sleeve preference or penchant for men.

After all, the master was twenty-eight and still didn’t have a single woman by his side. Even the manor’s cook was male.

He only paid special attention to this Dongfang Wuchen.

Turns out they were actually blood brothers all along.

So it was the older brother secretly protecting his younger brother all this time?

“This Dongfang Wuchen does seem quite concerned about Master. It seems not everyone raised by the old madam is necessarily bad. At least he can clearly distinguish right from wrong.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yueqing only shook his head.

“Perhaps. My younger brother turned out relatively well. I need to leave for a while. I plan to go to the Tang Sect. Now that the treasure map of Mingyue Manor is in hand, the next stop should be to meet my maternal grandfather and grandmother and see if these old thieves are still alive.”

“Master, what about Miss Yun Dan?”

“Naturally, I’ll take her with me. With her being the way she is, I’m afraid if she goes out, she’ll be sold and still help count money for the seller. She’ll only be safer when watched by my side.”

Yue Po: “……”

For a moment, Yue Po felt that Xiao Yueqing was just making excuses.

He clearly just wanted to spend time alone with Yun Dan and couldn’t bear to leave her by Dongfang Wuchen’s side.

Master is really saying one thing but meaning another.

Since they were quite familiar with each other, Yue Po naturally wouldn’t be afraid of saying the wrong thing and making Xiao Yueqing unhappy.

He sincerely hoped Xiao Yueqing could marry and have children, because Master had suffered too much.

It’s just that over these years, the only one by Master’s side was Tang Huairou who pestered him relentlessly.

Most of the other girls who admired him were chased away by Tang Huairou.

Actually, if it weren’t for Tang Huairou’s not-so-great temper and being too fierce, Yue Po would even think she could work.

Besides, they were only cousins.

Cousins—there were plenty of such couples out there.

It’s not like they couldn’t be together.

But Xiao Yueqing probably really didn’t have those feelings. Otherwise, after being pursued by a beautiful girl for three years, how could he have no reaction at all?

Fortunately, now Yun Dan had appeared by Master’s side.

Although she wasn’t as gorgeous as Tang Huairou, she was still a pretty girl.

Of course, if one really wanted to talk about beauty, who could compare to Xiao Yueqing himself?

“I should go see Yun Dan. She was injured because of me and hasn’t woken up yet. If she wakes up and doesn’t see me, that won’t do either. I’ll entrust Tianqing Manor to you during this time.”

“Naturally.”

After Xiao Yueqing hurriedly changed his clothes and even changed his fragrance to plum blossom scent, he rushed to Yun Dan’s room.

At this moment, Yun Dan was having a sweet dream.

She dreamed that she was playing a game.

However, the next second she saw Xiao Yueqing grabbing her hand, questioning why she abandoned him.

Yun Dan was so frightened that she instantly woke from her dream.

However, when she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Yan Ke lying by the bedside.

He seemed very exhausted. Yun Dan didn’t dare wake him and could only carefully move her body a little.

However, she forgot that her shoulder was still injured.

Moving her body like this instantly pulled at the wound, making her cry out involuntarily.

“Hiss… this wound hurts so much…”

Yan Ke seemed to have been woken up.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Yun Dan sitting up, covering her shoulder with a grimacing expression.

But this time he didn’t want to laugh. Instead, he asked with concern, “How are you? Did the wound tear open?”

Yun Dan quickly waved her hands, explaining, “No, no, I just wanted to sit up and move a bit. I forgot about the injury on my shoulder. When I moved, it pulled at the wound and hurt a little, but it shouldn’t have torn open. Did you watch over me all night?”

“As long as the wound didn’t tear open, that’s good. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere right now? You must tell me promptly. I treated your wound myself and used medicine I made. It’s very effective. Your wound will heal in just a few days.”

Yun Dan instantly caught the information.

Her wound was treated by Yan Ke.

But although her injury was on the shoulder, it was actually almost near her chest.

So doesn’t that mean he…

The system didn’t forget to chime in to mock her.

[What’s there to worry about with this player’s flying skills?]

(TL: “這飛機” (this ‘plane’) → slang that can mean “the way she flirts or acts” (in Chinese internet slang, “開飛機” or “飛機場” can humorously refer to someone’s flirt tactics or their way of handling romance routes)

Yun Dan: “……”

Although she was constantly told she looked like a bean sprout, she still understood the difference between men and women.

“You treated my wound, so my clothes were…”

Yan Ke instantly understood what she was referring to.

He smiled and teased, “If you want me to take responsibility, that’s not impossible. I’ll marry you then, but you’ll have to queue up, because there are plenty of people who want to marry me.”
