After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 88

Seeing that he was fine, Yun Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought to herself that the poison in his body must have already been cured, otherwise he couldn’t possibly be so lively and energetic.

Although she wasn’t the one who poisoned him, when it came down to it, it was still because Dongfang Wuchen had tried to save her that he had fallen into that person’s trap and been poisoned.

“After I woke up and heard that you were poisoned, I wanted to come see how you were. Seeing that you’re fine, I’m relieved. Actually, you were really too foolish. When I told you not to come, you still came. If you had lost your life because of me, I would have felt very guilty.”

These words weren’t meant to deceive.

They came from her heart.

Dongfang Wuchen smiled somewhat awkwardly. At that time, he had indeed been rather impulsive.

After all, this had happened at their Mingyue Manor. If Yun Dan had met with misfortune because of their manor, he would have lived with guilt for the rest of his life.

“I didn’t think that much at the time. I just thought that I had to protect you. After all, you’re a guest of our manor, and my guest as well. I couldn’t let you fall into danger.”

Yun Dan didn’t know what to say and could only shake her head and sigh.

After all, as the Young Manor Lord, it was normal for him to have such considerations.

Dongfang Wuchen had been mulling things over for quite a while when he suddenly realized Yun Dan was still standing, and quickly invited her to sit down.

“Look at me, leaving you standing all this time. I’m sorry, my mind was a bit slow to catch up.”

Yun Dan didn’t feel angry at all and sat down across from him.

But what she was more curious about was why so many assassins had suddenly appeared that day, and how many times such situations had occurred.

“Speaking of which, has Mingyue Manor experienced many such assassination attempts?”

Yun Dan didn’t mention the treasure map, as that was their private matter.

If she brought it up first, it would seem like she had ulterior motives regarding the treasure map.

But if he brought it up himself, that would be his business.

Regarding the treasure map, after he returned to the manor, his parents had already told him about it.

Apparently, the treasure map had been stolen, but they didn’t specify who had taken it.

Dongfang Wuchen could only attribute it to the people who had come to assassinate them that day using a diversion tactic, and the treasure map must have been stolen by whoever was behind them.

To avoid making Yun Dan feel guilty, he quickly explained, “Those people came for the treasure map. My Mingyue Manor has been guarding the treasure map for many years. There are far too many people in the jianghu who want to obtain the treasure map. That group wasn’t the first batch of assassins to come.

Of course, they’re not the first batch, and they won’t be the last either. However, after I woke up, my parents said the treasure map was stolen. It’s probably because that group used a diversion tactic, poisoned me, and took advantage of the chaos to steal the treasure map.”

Hearing that the treasure map had been stolen, Yun Dan was clearly very surprised.

But it seemed Xiao Yueqing hadn’t come to find her to tell her about this matter.

If the treasure map was no longer in this place, shouldn’t she also find an opportunity to quickly leave this place?

Otherwise, how could she keep imposing on them here?

Last time, it was because she was Dongfang Wuchen’s savior that she came to Mingyue Manor.

Later, it was because Dongfang Jue wanted to use her to lure Young Master Luoyue that she was able to stay here peacefully for so long.

Although she had indeed been injured because of the incident at Mingyue Manor.

But this couldn’t be a place to stay for long.

What should she do?

Yun Dan felt like her value had disappeared. Xiao Yueqing wouldn’t “dispose” of her, would he?

Isn’t that how it’s always portrayed in TV dramas?

Generally, when an employer discovers that their undercover agent has no more use, they directly “dispose” of the undercover agent.

And she hadn’t helped with anything at Mingyue Manor.

The treasure map had even been stolen right under her nose, so Xiao Yueqing would definitely kill her.

Oh no, she didn’t want to be turned into flower fertilizer!

Seeing Yun Dan’s face turn pale, Dongfang Wuchen thought she had been frightened by yesterday’s incident. He remembered that she had been injured too.

He didn’t consider anything else at all.

“Miss Yun, don’t worry too much. Last night’s incident did implicate you because of Mingyue Manor’s treasure map and even caused you to be injured.

This is all our manor’s fault, so during this time, please stay at Mingyue Manor to recover from your injuries. We’ll make plans after you’ve healed.”

However, Yun Dan’s mind was full of thoughts about how she had no more use and what method Xiao Yueqing would use to kill her.

Seeing that Yun Dan’s complexion wasn’t good, Dongfang Wuchen didn’t keep her to talk much longer.

After a few simple pleasantries, he let her go back to rest.

When Yun Dan returned to her room, she curled her entire body up without hesitation.

“It’s over, it’s over. I’m really going to be killed by Xiao Yueqing. He said if I couldn’t complete the task, he would skin me and bury me under the passion flowers as fertilizer.”

By the time night fell, Yun Dan realized it had gotten very late.

However, she had no desire to eat.

After all, who could eat when they were about to die?

The door creaked open.

A faint sandalwood fragrance wafted over.

Yun Dan instantly hid herself under the blanket.

Thinking to herself: It’s over, the grim reaper has arrived!

Xiao Yueqing hadn’t expected that when he came to Yun Dan’s room, this was the scene he would witness.

Seeing her completely hidden under the blanket, Xiao Yueqing couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing.

He sat down beside her and pulled back the blanket.

“What’s wrong with you…”

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Yun Dan threw herself into his arms.

It caught him rather off guard.

“Don’t kill me, Master! I promise I have value. Although I’m a rather poor excuse for an undercover agent, I promise there won’t be a next time. I really didn’t know the treasure map was stolen. I’m sorry.”

Xiao Yueqing immediately understood why Yun Dan was so frightened when she saw him and threw herself into his arms to beg for mercy.

He reached out to pat her head and teased. “Master didn’t know you wanted to die so badly. Who said I was going to kill you?”

Yun Dan blinked and looked up at him with confusion.

“Didn’t Master say that if I couldn’t complete the task, you would turn me into flower fertilizer? I heard from Wuchen that the treasure map is gone, so I was thinking that since I have no more use, I’m going to die.”

For a moment, Xiao Yueqing wondered if he looked that frightening.

Otherwise, why was Yun Dan so afraid of him?

However, he clearly wasn’t actually angry.

Seeing that she was truly scared, he coaxed her gently.

“You are indeed a bit useless—you didn’t even know when I took the treasure map. I didn’t realize you cared so much about the treasure map. I thought your mind was only filled with thoughts of being lovey-dovey with Dongfang Wuchen.”
