After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 97

This left Yun Dan completely bewildered.

She remembered Dongfang Wuchen saying that Mu Lan and his father’s legitimate wife were sisters.

And Xiao Yueqing had said that his mother was born into the Tang Sect and was betrothed to his father through an arranged marriage made before their births.

Now, combining this with the information Tang Aotian had revealed, a bold speculation surfaced.

Damn it, could Xiao Yueqing’s mother be Mu Lan?

Then wouldn’t she and Dongfang Wuchen be…

“Miss Yun? Miss Yun?”

Only then did Yun Dan snap back to her senses, saying awkwardly, “No, no, I was just marveling at how inexplicable fate can be. But didn’t she and Xiao Yi have any children?”

“They did. The current number one demon lord, Xiao Yueqing, is their child. It’s just a pity that my cousin willingly degenerated himself; otherwise, the Tang Sect would certainly have welcomed him.”

Naturally, Yun Dan couldn’t agree with this point. How could it possibly be that he willingly degenerated?

The catalyst for all of this was clearly his mother, wasn’t it?

“By the way, Miss Yun, how old are you, and are you betrothed to anyone?”

Yun Dan shook her head and answered honestly.

“No, no, I’m eighteen this year. I’m the only one in my family, and I’m not betrothed to anyone.”

Tang Aotian’s eyes shifted, thinking to himself that it couldn’t be better if she wasn’t betrothed to anyone.

He didn’t like women who were already married.

He preferred this type of girl who looked especially innocent.

Even if this Yun Dan was brought here by Young Master Luoyue, so what?

As long as he wanted her, she wouldn’t necessarily be able to escape.

Besides, at worst he could just marry her afterward as a concubine, and who could blame him?

“Miss, there’s a banquet tonight—remember to attend. There will be lots of food at the banquet, and I’ll arrange a good seat for you then. I’ll have you sit somewhere where you can eat happily without anyone disturbing you. If anyone stops you, just say you’re Tang Aotian’s guest.”

Hearing about food, Yun Dan naturally became bright-eyed with excitement.

“Really? Then thank you so much, Young Sect Master. You’re such a good person.”

Yun Dan’s naivety made Tang Aotian almost unable to suppress his laughter.

He thought to himself that by no measure could he be considered a good person.

However, since the girl in front of him considered him a good person, naturally he wouldn’t deny it.

“Then tonight, let’s not fail to meet. I’ll go prepare things for the banquet first. When you arrive, tell the servants that you’re invited by me, Tang Aotian, and they’ll naturally know where you should sit.”

What Yun Dan wanted most was peace and quiet.

Previously at Mingyue Manor, Tang Huairou had deliberately arranged her seat between Dongfang Wuchen and Yan Ke, making her stuck between men on both sides.

And she had been given a hard time by Tang Huairou.

Although she had cleverly resolved it herself, she had still gone through a whole ordeal.

That ordeal was so embarrassing for Yun Dan that her toes could immediately dig out a three-bedroom apartment.

After Tang Aotian left, he immediately ran into Tang Huairou.

“Brother, why were you together with that woman?”

Tang Aotian immediately understood who Tang Huairou was referring to.

He felt no embarrassment at all, but rather raised his eyebrows. “What, do you have a problem with that? I finally found a young lady who suits my taste, and you’re going to criticize me for it?”

Hearing that Tang Aotian was interested in Yun Dan, Tang Huairou actually felt relieved.

“If you like her, that’s not impossible. I’ll help you. There’s a banquet tonight—I’m sure brother invited her, right?”

“Of course. But this young lady looks innocent, though she’s probably scheming too. Father won’t let me prey on servants in the Tang Sect, but then I met this young lady.”

Tang Aotian was a notorious playboy. Most of the Tang Sect’s attractive maids had fallen victim to his clutches.

But over time, he inevitably got punished for it.

Tang Qi thought he was hopeless, but he was also the only male heir of this generation in the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect would eventually be handed over to him, so they could only beat this son more often and forbid him from preying on the maids.

However, if a playboy could actually reform, he wouldn’t really be a playboy.

Therefore, after discovering that Yun Dan wasn’t from the Tang Sect, Tang Aotian had been brewing a plan—to deceive Yun Dan, wait until feelings developed between them, and then make his move.

Who knew he’d run into Tang Huairou as soon as he turned around?

During this time at the Tang Sect, Tang Huairou had been trying to hover around Yan Ke, but unfortunately, he simply didn’t have eyes for her.

No matter what she did, he remained unmoved, which infuriated Tang Huairou.

Right now, she was worried about having nowhere to vent her emotions. Seeing that Tang Aotian was interested in Yun Dan, a plan unconsciously formed in her mind.

If Yun Dan lost her chastity, perhaps Yan Ke wouldn’t treat Yun Dan so well anymore.

Yan Ke was famously fastidious. She believed that no man could swallow his pride regarding a woman who had lost her chastity.

“Too bad the flowers have feelings but the flowing water has none. I’m afraid Miss Yun prefers the Young Master Luoyue who came with her. But brother, don’t worry too much—I have a way to guarantee you can win the beauty.”

As night fell, the banquet began as scheduled.

And Yun Dan, following Tang Aotian’s instructions, told the servants as he said. Sure enough, the servants led her to a relatively secluded location.

Although it was at the end, at least it was far from the main battleground!

And she could have some peace and quiet.

Throughout the whole process, she didn’t have any problems, and Tang Huairou didn’t cause trouble either—she just accidentally spilled some wine on her while walking.

Because of this, Yun Dan could only temporarily leave the banquet, planning to go change her clothes.

However, she didn’t plan to go back anyway, since she had eaten pretty much enough.

As soon as she pushed open the door to her room, a faint fragrance wafted toward her.

Yun Dan found it a bit strange. Although incense was also lit in her room, today’s scent seemed somewhat special.

But she supposed the servants must have changed it.

However, when Yun Dan went behind the screen to change clothes, she suddenly heard her room door being pushed open.

“Young lady, where are you?”

This voice was Tang Aotian’s—why would he come here?

Yun Dan wanted to escape quickly, but unexpectedly felt her strength draining, and her consciousness was becoming unclear.

Following the plot of TV dramas, could she have been drugged…

Thinking of this possibility, Yun Dan felt goosebumps rising all over her.

Tang Aotian might also have been set up by someone. Someone had deliberately led the drunk Tang Aotian to her room, and probably soon people would come to catch them in the act.

If she didn’t run, she would really only be able to become Tang Aotian’s concubine.

Without hesitation, Yun Dan pulled out her hairpin and cut a gash in her palm.

The piercing pain finally helped her regain some clarity.

Taking advantage of Tang Aotian being drunk, Yun Dan quickly slipped to the window and jumped down.

She had to find Yan Ke, because in this sect, he was the person she was closest to and the person she trusted most.
