Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

Right at the entrance of that courtyard, a young man was sitting down.

He even brought a small stool and watched them dig the hole while munching on sunflower seeds with great interest...

Perhaps it was a woman's intuition that led her to walk over and take a look at this off-the-beaten-path orphanage.

The two people in the pit jumped out and quickly followed, hoping that things would take a turn for the better!

Upon arriving at the entrance, the Jade Sword King glanced at the young man and immediately realized that he only had the cultivation level of the peak of the Acquired Realm, so he relaxed his guard.

“Little one, have you seen a box around here? Or rather, a little girl who looks like this?”

The Jade Sword King took out a piece of paper, on which was a portrait of Qingyue.

The person she approached was clearly Lin Yun.

In response to her question, Lin Yun shrugged and said directly.

No, I don't know.

He was quite meticulous, even though he planned to kill the human traffickers who had captured Qingyue.

But since they were both masked, Lin Yun wasn't sure if the two men in black in front of him were the same people from last night.

Moreover, there was a woman whose identity was unknown; he planned to communicate with her first before deciding on the next course of action…

The Jade Sword King was also staring at him and asked again.

Are you sure you haven't seen it before?

"I am an honest person, I never lie!"

Lin Yun spoke in a serious tone, but just as he finished speaking, the orphanage gate behind him was pushed open.

At the same time, a girl's childish voice came through.

"Dean, do you still need this box? If not, I'll use it to store things from now on."

Qingyue walked over, swaying as she carried the box from last night.

In an instant, their eyes met.

The scene was quiet, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

The man in black immediately fixed his gaze on Qingyue's hand and exclaimed in surprise.

"Great! It's our natural box, and you little girl, you're actually here!"

As they spoke, both he and the woman in black beside him exuded powerful profound energy, clearly indicating that they were both at the sixth or seventh level of the extraordinary realm!

Qingyue recognized them as well, and her face darkened.

"So it was you two, you despicable bastards who knocked me unconscious and then ran away!"

Black demonic energy instantly condensed in her hands, and she entered battle mode!

However, she was then stopped by Lin Yun.

"Don't be impulsive, I'll handle this."

Qingyue paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright, Dean, please be careful, these two guys are quite formidable."

"Oh, I see."

Lin Yun smiled faintly, then looked at the man and woman in front of him and asked.

"So, you two really are human traffickers?"

Upon hearing this, the two snorted coldly.

"So what if it is? It's just a means of making a living."

"You, a mere peak-stage acquired realm cultivator, dare to steal our prey! You're asking for trouble!"

Faced with their disdainful mockery, Lin Yun didn't waste any more words with them and simply nodded.

"You two are definitely tired of living. But since it's just the two of you, I'll trouble you to die first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

With two loud thuds, both of them were pierced through the chest, staring in disbelief at the bloody holes in their chests.

They struggled to lift their heads, looking at Lin Yun with fear and asking questions.

"This...how could this happen..."

"In your next life, remember not to do this despicable thing."

Lin Yun snorted coldly, then raised his hand and waved.

The two men were blasted away by a force, crashing into a large tree a hundred meters away, before sliding into the pit they had just dug.

Qingyue was completely stunned by what she saw.

"Dean, are you really that amazing?!"

"Of course, otherwise why would I say I'd protect you?"

Lin Yun smiled gently, and at this moment, the woman in the green dress, who was taken aback, couldn't help but ask.

"Who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun smiled faintly.

“Me? I’m naturally the director of this orphanage.”

His gaze fell directly in front of him, on the woman in the green dress who was looking completely shocked.

"And then... who are you? Are you in cahoots with them?"

Looking at his smile, the Jade Sword King felt a pang of fear!

What exactly is this guy's cultivation level?

Two cultivators who were close to the peak of the extraordinary realm were killed in an instant, and she didn't even see how they made their move!

Without even a second thought, the person in front of him was definitely a terrifying individual who was far stronger than himself!

I'm afraid it won't be much harder for the other party to kill me in an instant than it would be to kill those two guys just now.

She quickly stood up and bowed to Lin Yun.

"Senior, please don't misunderstand. My relationship with those two guys was merely a business transaction!"

She immediately distanced herself from the situation, but dared not fabricate anything, fearing that the other party would see through her act and bring about her death.

"A transactional relationship? Tell me about it."

“I just hired them to help me find this girl.”

"And then what?"

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow and asked in a cold voice.

"Or do you want to kill her too?"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Sword King felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and hurriedly offered an explanation.

"No, no, no, I had no intention of harming her, but rather of protecting her!"

"Really? Why should I believe you?"

Faced with Lin Yun's questioning, the Jade Sword King immediately glanced at Qingyue.

"Xiaoyue, it's me, Xu Lan. Don't you remember me?"

The sudden question startled Qingyue for a moment.

"Xu Lan?"

She did recognize the person's face and name, but couldn't quite place them at the moment.

Sensing Lin Yun's increasingly hostile gaze, the Jade Sword King could only grit his teeth and say.

"Have you forgotten? I was ordered by the Palace Master to stay by your side."

"Then one time when we went to Tianchi to bathe, you little rascal, you stole all my clothes!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyue finally realized what was happening and said with some surprise.

"Sister Lanlan, it's you!"

Overjoyed, she rushed forward and hugged him.

"We haven't seen each other for so many years!"

"Yes, it has indeed been many years since we last met."

Xu Lan smiled and looked at her, then sighed.

"I didn't expect you to have grown so much! And you've become so beautiful."

"Of course! When it comes to beauty, Your Highness is number one in the world!"

Qingyue wasn't modest at all, or perhaps it was just the joy of seeing an acquaintance.

At that moment, Lin Yun said with a smile.

"So, the most beautiful girl in the world likes to steal other girls' clothes?"

When this was mentioned, Qingyue blushed and quickly said...

"I was just immature back then. I haven't done anything like that since I was old enough to understand!"

"Hehe, who knows?"

"Dean! You're so annoying..."

"That's what you call having a guilty conscience."

"I didn't, absolutely not!"

The two of them chatted back and forth, making Xu Lan, who was standing next to them, feel a little superfluous.

She couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Um, you two? Shall we talk about business first?"
