Help, What Should I Do If The Person Who Likes Me Is a Yandere! - Chapter 48:

Chapter 48: You Want to Sneak Around Too?:

Everyone downstairs exchanged confused glances.

The old man’s face froze in shock.

This… this person clearly wasn’t a man!

It was just an ordinary young girl, seemingly only 16 or 17.

Although her cultivation appeared to be in the Transcendence Realm, which was impressive, compared to the Holy Maiden Chu Junhan of the Azure Sword Sect, she was clearly outmatched.

Chu Junhan’s face darkened.

She glanced at the old man, about to say something.

Upstairs, Gu Ling’er clenched her fist and coughed, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

Her delicate face was full of anger as she snorted coldly and loudly declared, “Our Holy Son has no interest in competing with others. Please feel free to do as you wish!”

With that, she tossed her head, turned around, and walked away.

“Holy Son?”

The crowd looked puzzled.

Only sects that could be called “Holy Sects” had the right to refer to the direct disciple of their sect master as a “Holy Son.”

And in the Mysterious Realm, there were only ten Holy Sects.

These were the top ten sects in the Mysterious Dao Alliance, each of which qualified as a Holy Sect.

Among them, only seven sects had male direct disciples known as “Holy Sons.”

All were widely known figures.

Although their talents were considered top-tier in the Mysterious Realm, they still fell slightly short of the Holy Maiden Chu Junhan, who was born with spiritual roots.

Unless…

At this moment, a single name surfaced in everyone’s minds.

“Xu Ze!”

Someone suddenly shouted.

And in that instant, the crowd understood.

“Right! If anyone in this world deserves the title of ‘Holy Son,’ it must be the elusive Holy Son of the Heavenly Dark Sect Xu Ze!”

“If it’s him, then it makes sense.”

“He’s the top disciple of Leng Youran. With such talent, it’s no surprise.”

The crowd nodded in agreement, having always respected the strength of the Heavenly Dark Sect’s Holy Son, Xu Ze.

Xu Ze?

However, upon hearing this name, Chu Junhan couldn’t stay calm.

Zhao Tianyang rushed to her side, grinning awkwardly. “Junior sister, don’t listen to them. Xu Ze must be too scared to show up, which is why he’s hiding from us.”

Chu Junhan shot him a glare, no longer interested in listening to the sycophantic flattery of this “bootlicker.”

She was inherently proud and refused to believe anyone could possess greater talent than her!

She had to see for herself what kind of person this Xu Ze really was.

“Out of my way!”

She pushed Zhao Tianyang aside and flew up to the second floor.

Boom!

With one strike, she shattered the door to the private room.

Amid the dust and smoke, Chu Junhan’s right hand trembled, and a jade sword appeared in her grip.

“Xu Ze, come and face me!”

Through the haze, she saw a shadowy figure and, burning with anger, thrust her sword forward.

Clang!

However, in the blink of an eye, her sword came to a sudden halt.

A numbing sensation, like an electric shock, surged through her hand.

Chu Junhan gasped in surprise, loosening her grip as the sword was effortlessly taken from her by the figure in the dust.

“Ah!”

Her cry echoed from the second floor.

Zhao Tianyang was shocked as flew up to her side.

The crowd downstairs stared at one another, clueless about what was happening above.

“Xu Ze! Stop! If you dare harm a single hair on the Holy Maiden’s head, my Azure Sword Sect will…”

But before Zhao Tianyang could finish his threat, he froze at the sight before him.

As the dust settled, a man in white casually played with the jade sword in his hand.

His handsome face remained calm and indifferent.

Meanwhile, his junior sister, Chu Junhan, the one Zhao Tianyang had always adored, stood in the room with her head lowered, clutching her arm like a scolded child.

Her cheeks were flushed red.

And in her eyes, a hint of shyness could be seen as she gazed at Xu Ze.

“Miss Chu, don’t you think your actions were a bit excessive?”

“I… I…” Chu Junhan looked up, wanting to say something, but quickly averted her eyes when she saw Xu Ze’s face.

“Kill me or do as you wish… I lost!”

“Lost? When did you lose?”

Xu Ze looked at her with amusement.

This girl had barged in out of nowhere, threw a tantrum, and was easily subdued. Now, she acted as if she’d been utterly defeated.

“Hmph…” Chu Junhan bit her lip, refusing to speak.

“My meal has been ruined because of you.” Xu Ze glanced at the table, now covered in dust. “How do you plan to compensate me for the loss?”

Chu Junhan gritted her teeth. “How much do you want?”

“500 spirit stones,” Xu Ze said lightly.

“500? Are you insane?” Zhao Tianyang, still dazed, exploded at an outrageous amount. “500 spirit stones could buy this entire restaurant! How could you ask for that much for just one meal?”

Xu Ze gave him a cold glance and said calmly, “Did I ask you?”

That single look sent a chill down Zhao Tianyang’s spine.

This… this was the Holy Son, Xu Ze?

Such a terrifying presence… his cultivation base must indeed surpass the Spirit Gathering Stage!

Killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant!

Zhao Tianyang immediately fell silent, not daring to utter another word.

“But… we don’t have that many spirit stones on us…” Chu Junhan said hesitantly.

Although she was the Holy Maiden, she didn’t usually carry that many spirit stones when traveling.

One spirit stone was the size of a palm—how could anyone carry 500? Even a storage ring wouldn’t hold that many!

“In that case, I’ll take this mystical sword as compensation.” Xu Ze glanced at the jade sword in his hand and, with a flick of his wrist, stored it in his storage ring.

“T-That’s a divine weapon bestowed by the sect master…” Zhao Tianyang began to protest, but immediately shut his mouth when Xu Ze shot him a glare.

He couldn’t afford to provoke this man.

His very eyes showed that he was a thousand, even ten thousand times more terrifying than the rumors suggested!

“Junior sister, as much as I’d love to stand up for you, my life is more important…”

Chu Junhan clenched her fists, her eyes full of reluctance.

She sniffed, her eyes reddening as she looked at Xu Ze. “I… I’ll remember you!”

“Xu Ze, Holy Son of the Heavenly Dark Sect! I swear, one day, I’ll settle this score with you!”

With that, she wiped her eyes and rushed out of the restaurant.

Zhao Tianyang quickly followed, not daring to linger for a second longer.

“A meal in exchange for a divine weapon. Not bad.” Xu Ze chuckled.

Just as he was about to ask the waiter to bring another serving, he noticed Gu Ling’er standing nearby, staring at him with a strange expression.

“What’s wrong, Ling’er?”

Gu Ling’er quickly shook her head.

But inside, she couldn’t shake off a dangerous feeling.

That woman just now…

The way she looked at the Holy Son… it wasn’t right.

Her gaze…

It was just like those other women who had their eyes on the Holy Son…

Could she… also be trying to sneak around?
