Just as Lin Yun was considering whether to dig it up and take a look.

Suddenly, several figures emerged from the surrounding darkness and surrounded him.

One of the men in black asked Lin Yun in a cold voice.

"Kid, do you know anyone in this orphanage?"

Lin Yun immediately understood that this must be the assassin organization that had come looking for them.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face.

"Oh, that? I know that all too well."

There were nine men in black around them, all masked and holding knives and swords, as if they wanted everyone to know they were bad guys.

The leader in black glanced at Lin Yun and, noticing that he only had the cultivation level of the Acquired Realm, asked him in a cold voice.

"who are you?"

"Me? I'm the dean here."

Upon hearing this, the leader in black was overjoyed and immediately asked.

"You mean, that little girl with the sword is from your place?"

This description further convinced Lin Yun of their origins.

Lin Yun nodded and said, "That's right, she's in the courtyard. Do you need to see her?"

Upon hearing this, the leader in black gave a cold laugh.

"Never mind that, we need to talk to her about something small."

Lin Yun glanced at the orphanage gate, which was already more than fifty meters away, and smiled after a moment's thought.

"Then why don't I take you inside to find her?"

This overly friendly attitude surprised the men in black, who wondered if there was an ambush.

The leader in black thought that since the dean was only at the acquired cultivation level, he couldn't cause any trouble, so he simply nodded.

"Then I'll trouble the Dean to lead the way."

Thinking to himself that the dean was quite shrewd, he figured he could get rid of the little girl and give him a quick death.

Just to be on the safe side, he left one person behind to keep watch.

They followed Lin Yun step by step toward the gate!

One hundred meters, eighty meters, fifty meters, thirty meters...

Just ten meters from the gate, Lin Yun suddenly stopped, turned around, and smiled at everyone.

"That's enough for everyone, let's call it a day."

Upon seeing this, the leader in black's expression darkened slightly.

"Kid, are you kidding us?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining seven assassins surrounded him, staring at him with murderous intent.

They'll rush up and tear Lin Yun to pieces at the leader's command!

Lin Yun laughed at this.

"How could that be? I never intended to play tricks on you..."

As he spoke, a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

"I was planning to... kill you all!"

"Kill us? You charlatan."

The leader in black snorted coldly and waved to the people around him.

"Chop him up for me!"

"Yes, sir!"

The group responded immediately, channeling their inner energy and brandishing their weapons at Lin Yun!

"Hmph, looking for death."

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow and snapped his fingers lightly.

bang bang bang...

Seven muffled thuds followed in quick succession. The seven black-clad assassins who had made the move were instantly killed, as if pierced through the chest by a force!

The leader in black watched this scene in horror. These people were all at the peak of the Acquired Realm, the elite of their Blood Sword Pavilion!

He didn't even know what happened; several people were instantly killed.

The leader in black swallowed hard, looking at Lin Yun with fear and asking a question.

"You! Who exactly are you?"

Lin Yun smiled faintly and said, "Didn't I say? I am the director of this orphanage."

He walked straight up to the leader in black and looked at him with a smile.

"Judging from what you just said, you're the leader of the Blood Sword Tower?"

The leader in black took a half step back in fright and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, it's me... senior."

"Answer me, who ordered you to kill that girl?"

"Can I save my life by telling the truth?"

"Well, it depends on my mood..."

Seeing an opportunity, the leader in black was overjoyed.

So, they immediately sold the online platform.

"Reporting to Senior, it's that Jade Sword Queen! She frequently assigns missions to our Blood Sword Pavilion, and the pay is pitifully low!"

When he got to the second half of the sentence, his resentment was practically overflowing.

"The Jade Sword King? Who is that?"

The leader in black quickly explained, "That guy is the infamous King of Assassins from the City Beyond the Boundary!"

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow. Could Xiaoxue, that girl, have offended someone like this?

But then he suddenly remembered something and asked a question.

"Where did the Jade Sword King come from? Is it related to the Zhao family?"

"Your wisdom is profound!"

The leader in black nodded repeatedly.

"It is said that she comes from the Heavenly Demon Palace, the number one sect of the demonic path, but in recent years, she seems to have colluded with the Thunder Sword Emperor."

"If I had to say, it would be related to the Zhao family."

Okay, now everything makes sense.

It seems the Zhao family knows Bai Xiaoxue is in the city outside the boundary and has sent people to assassinate her.

However, Lin Yun had already decided to protect Bai Xiaoxue. Even if the Zhao family really came knocking, he would just kill them all!

At this moment, the leader in black tentatively asked.

"Senior, do you think I can walk now?"

Lin Yun snapped out of her daze and glanced at him.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about you."

After he finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and the black-clad leader's chest suddenly exploded.

He looked at Lin Yun in horror and said in disbelief.

"Senior, you..."

"I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood."

As the leader of the opposing force, Lin Yun would naturally not let the tiger return to the mountain.

Besides, the other party must have killed countless innocent people over the years, so I can consider this my way of doing justice.

The leader in black lay in a pool of blood, staring at Lin Yun, who looked like a devil, and uttered his last words with blood streaming from his mouth.

"Jade Sword King... I'll fuck your grandpa..."

After saying that, he breathed his last.

Lin Yun looked up at the Blood Sword Tower assassin who was staring at him in terror a hundred meters away.

He couldn't reach it, so he couldn't kill it. He simply asked him to relay the message.

"Go back and tell the Emerald Sword King that this girl is under my protection. Next time you want to kill her, remember to let her do it herself, or let the Thunder Sword Emperor come in person!"

The assassin in the distance was already terrified, but after hearing Lin Yun's words, he felt as if he had escaped death.

"Thank you for sparing my life, senior. I will certainly convey your message!"

After saying that, the assassin vanished without a trace, fleeing at the fastest speed he had ever been.

Lin Yun took a deep breath as he looked at the blood and corpses scattered on the ground.

"This is the cruel world of fantasy..."

A society where killing happens at the slightest disagreement, a true cannibalistic society where it's either you die or I die!

Bai Xiaoxue watched the whole thing from the courtyard wall.

She came to Lin Yun's side and pursed her lips.

"Dean, I'm causing you trouble again."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun smiled and said, "It's alright, just some small fry."

"But what about the Thunder Sword Emperor, and the Zhao family..."

This was her biggest worry. With the Zhao family's power, she was truly afraid that the orphanage would be implicated because of her.

Lin Yun reassured her.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxue, you've seen my strength, haven't you?"

"Even if the Thunder Sword Emperor himself comes, or even if the entire Zhao family mobilizes, with me, the Dean, protecting you, I guarantee they won't be able to touch you in the slightest!"

These domineering words stirred something within Bai Xiaoxue.

"Thank you, Dean!"

She couldn't even remember how many times she had said that word.

Bai Xiaoxue lunged at Lin Yun, intending to give the dean a loving hug, but ended up missing him.

This startled her, and she looked at Lin Yun strangely.

"Dean...are you backing away?"

"How can it be."

"Oh……"

Bai Xiaoxue looked at him suspiciously, then pounced on him again, but missed once more.

"Dean, you have clearly backed down!"

Bai Xiaoxue puffed out her cheeks, looking somewhat indignant.

Thinking about what happened during the day, she asked with some resentment.

"Does the dean dislike me?"

"How could that be? Of course not."

"Then why won't you hug me?"

"You're a girl, after all, it's not really appropriate."

To be honest, this girl has been wandering for a long time, but her figure has begun to develop.

After all, in ancient times, they would be almost of marriageable age.

Lin Yun is a bachelor in both his past and present lives, so getting too close to him would be a real test for him.

Bai Xiaoxue looked at him with astonishment, as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Oh~ So, Dean, you're shy?"

At this moment, she felt as if she had grasped Lin Yun's weakness.

To some extent, this is the correct answer, but how could Lin Yun admit it?

"You're overthinking it! How could I, the dean, be shy about a little kid like you?"

"I'm not young at all. My older cousin was already married at this age!"

Bai Xiaoxue's face was full of defiance; she stood with her hands on her hips and her chest puffed out, trying to show off her magnanimity!

Seeing this, Lin Yun sighed.

"Xiaoxue, if a girl is so proactive, it could be very dangerous if she encounters bad people."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxue muttered to herself.

"Of course I know, but they don't treat everyone like that..."

Only after saying it did I realize that what I said sounded a bit like a confession, which made me feel embarrassed.

Lin Yun was taken aback and asked, "Huh? What did you just say? I didn't quite hear you."

Bai Xiaoxue's face flushed slightly, and she finally managed to utter only one sentence.

"I said, the dean is a complete idiot!"

Lin Yun was full of doubt. How did he become an idiot again?

Then, Bai Xiaoxue changed the subject and asked.

"Should we dispose of these bodies first?"

"This is not urgent."

Lin Yun shook his head, his gaze falling on the large tree not far away.

"Besides burying the bodies, there's something else interesting waiting for us..."
