Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

He was so focused on Kaliel and the other person that he neglected the person he needed to be most wary of: a priest was behind him.

Sure enough, in the short time it took for the two to finish speaking, the girl had already used her mind magic to render the male assassin, who had been putting her in constant danger, completely incapacitated.

"You...you are despicable. Shameless."

"Huh? Me, despicable? Me, shameless? You came to assassinate me, and you still call me despicable? Have you no shame? Can't you have some self-awareness?"

The indignant girl kicked the other girl in the stomach, her heart filled with anger.

"Speak, who sent you this time? And who ordered the assassination attempt at the academy before?"

With someone stepping on his face with delicate white feet, and with his eyes slanted upwards, he could already see a glimpse of white peeking out from under the hem of her nightgown. The man suppressed his humiliation and refused to answer the other person's questions.

"Huh? You actually dare to ignore me? Heh, it seems I was too lenient."

Lin Xueyin raised her spear, intending to plunge it between the man's legs. But Kalier stopped her.

"Sister Xueyin, don't worry, we have plenty of ways to make him explain things clearly. It's better for you not to get your hands stained with the dirty blood of this kind of person."

The girl, who had been stopped, felt extremely angry thinking about how badly they had beaten her before. However, since she was stopped, she did not continue to stab them.

"Kariel, I'm fine. Besides, people like this should..."

"Sister Xueyin, you've exposed yourself."

Seeing that her sister and Lin Xueyin were at an impasse, Kasha quickly came over to help. Her words caused Lin Xueyin to let out a shrill scream.

"You bastard!"

With one kick, she knocked the man who was already lying on the ground unconscious. Lin Xueyin clutched the hem of her pajamas tightly with both hands and realized that her actions had just shown the man many things he shouldn't have seen.

"Kill him, you absolutely must kill him."

"Sister Xueyin, your clothes aren't that short, nothing will be visible."

Seeing that he was overreacting, Kalier restrained the man in a strange way while comforting the blushing Lin Xueyin.

"Can't you really see it?"

"There's absolutely no way you can see it. It wasn't lifted up for anyone to see, so how could anyone possibly see it?"

The girl, still clutching her hem, had lost her previous imposing aura and instead exuded a feeling that made you want to go up and bully her.

The two little girls suppressed their urge to push their older sister, Xueyin, onto the bed and dragged the man away.

However, before they even reached the door, the guards opened it. By the moonlight, they could see inside the room.

A shy young girl clutched the hem of her pajamas, while two little girls dragged a man of unknown origin with a rope.

Could it be that some man came here to harass Pastor Lin? Seeing the girl's flushed face, how could the guards not let their imaginations run wild and consider all sorts of possibilities?

"What on earth are you thinking?"

Seeing the abnormal expressions on the faces of these guards, Lin Xueyin knew perfectly well where the huge hole in their heads had gone.

"Haha, Pastor Lin, we, ah, no, are you alright?"

Watching the girl quickly hide under the covers, the guards felt a strange sense of pleasure. But wasn't she the leader? Had they been infected by the savagery of the beastmen after coming to the beastmen?

"Oh dear, you've all left. Hurry up and get out of here."

Only a pair of bright blue eyes were visible above the blanket, gazing mistily at the crowd at the door, instantly healing the guards with the girl's adorable appearance.

However, even after being cured, the most basic vigilance remained. The guards reached out and stopped the two little girls, their icy eyes making them dare not move recklessly.

"Hey, they're with me, please don't scare my child."

Completely unaware of how terrifying her words were, everyone stared in horror at the two adorable little girls in front of them. Were they Pastor Lin's children?

He stole a glance at the girl still on the bed, then looked at the two little girls in front of him. This... there seemed to be a lot of information to be revealed.

"I'm telling you, I've been assassinated and you're still here watching the show. If it weren't for them, you'd all be collecting my corpse."

It was only then that the many guards regained some composure. The news of their assassination sent a chill down their spines.

This is no longer just a matter of assassinating Lin Xueyin alone. If something happens to her here with the beastmen, how many of the guards who came out with her will be able to escape unscathed and return safely to the empire?

At that time, a great war will break out between the orcs and humans, and I will be the biggest scapegoat. This man actually dared to assassinate Pastor Lin; doesn't he know what kind of person she is now?

At this moment, they also smelled a faint smell of blood. Following the smell, they discovered that in the corner by the wall, there was a lifeless figure lying on the ground.

"Pastor Lin, what exactly is going on? Why did these two people suddenly appear in your room?"

"Hmm, that's a good question. That's also what I wanted to ask you. Why did two assassins suddenly appear in my room, and why were they supposed to have been in my room all night?"

When it came to serious matters, Lin Xueyin gradually calmed her inner anxiety. Looking at the guards in front of her, Lin Xueyin gradually became serious.

"Although this may make you uncomfortable, I suspect that there are traitors among you who want me to not leave the Beastmen alive."

"But, but you are now an envoy of our empire, are they really that heartless?"

Volume 7 The Collapse of the Alliance: Chapter 18 Conflict

Whether those people were truly so ruthless, Lin Xueyin said she didn't know. However, the assassin definitely existed. If it wasn't someone from within the human race, then who could have such strong abilities to allow these two to enter her room without her noticing?

"Pastor Lin, do you think it could be the orcs...?"

"Impossible. These people's goal was to kill me directly. Moreover, these two had already tried to assassinate me once before, so they couldn't have been hired by the beastmen."

The news that they had already been assassinated once made everyone feel uneasy. This was the second assassination attempt, and these two people absolutely deserved to die.

"Pastor Lin, hand him over to us. We will definitely interrogate him and find out who is behind him."

Lin Xueyin smiled slightly upon hearing this, but did not continue. The captain of the Imperial Guard, who had spoken, knew that he had been too rash. He had already said that he suspected there was a traitor within the Imperial Guard, so naturally she would not hand the person over to him.

“Viscount Lin, I think it would be better if you handed the people over to us. These two young girls have unknown identities, and we don’t know anything about what happened. Is it too hasty to label them as assassins based solely on your word?”

Korath, who had been hiding behind the crowd, pushed through the throng and slowly walked in. Looking at the people in front of him, his eyes were filled with a faint mockery.

"Are you taking him away?"

The girl in her pajamas also got off the bed, her indifferent eyes filled with a chilling coldness. The captain of the guard had chosen to temporarily back down because of his suspicions, but this person was still going his own way, which made Lin Xueyin suspicious of his motives.

Korath was well aware that his actions had aroused Lin Xueyin's suspicion, but what could he do? If he didn't step in and let this person be taken away, then a whole bunch of other people would be implicated.

This was beyond his means, so at this moment, he was determined to take this man away from Lin Xueyin, at any cost.

Do you even know what you're talking about?

"Of course I know. As your servant, I must protect your safety. I will lock up both of these young girls and this man and investigate them thoroughly."

"Are you sure?"

The stern look in Lin Xueyin's eyes made Koras involuntarily take a step back, feeling that he had lost face. Koras took another step forward, raised his eyebrows slightly, and made a face that showed that he was going head-to-head with Lin Xueyin and would never compromise.

"Do you know what my relationship is with these two little girls? You want to take them away? Ha, do you think I wouldn't dare to touch you?"

With her spear in hand, Lin Xueyin's cold eyes were fixed on this filthy man, who dared to lay his hand on her little girl. "You've got some nerve."

"Viscount Lin, please restrain yourself. They are not in our guard. For your safety, it would be better to detain both of them. At least we need to find out their origins so that we can all be safe."

"Heh, how ridiculous. The one who saved me has become the most dangerous one. Does that mean I deserve to be killed by this assassin?"

She stared coldly at the man in front of her, her fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly, wishing she could smash this annoying man's face into a pancake.

"You lot, take these people away."

He commanded his guards with an air of superiority, but the people standing in front of the door looked at each other, none daring to make a move.

"Kolas, don't go too far."

Looking at Lin Xueyin protecting the two annoying little girls, Kolas looked at the girl in front of him with contempt, a triumphant smile already appearing on his face.

Then, a small fist slammed hard into that disgustingly smiling face. The girl was a little out of breath, and even though she looked somewhat ferocious, she still gave off a cute feeling.

“Remember, Coras, you are only a servant when I consider you one. When I don’t care about you, you’re less than a dog. Don’t give me that airs.”

"You... Lin Xueyin, do you know what you're doing?"

She slowly approached the man lying on the ground, and a pair of fair and tender legs were exposed to the man's eyes. However, this rare sight only made the man more furious.

"Lin—Xue—Yin—...Get your foot off me."

Just as Korath had angrily shouted the other person's name out, the next second he was being stepped on by a small, fair, jade-like foot. The delicate skin was pressed tightly against his face. If this were in bed, it would be a wonderful experience.

However, this meant pressing his face tightly against the cold ground, with a mocking gaze and a contemptuous tone. How could the self-important Coras possibly endure or accept such a reality?

"I want it, and I'll make you regret it."

"You really think highly of yourself. However, you seem to have forgotten that this is the Beastman territory. I don't think the Beastmen would give up an opportunity to get closer to me for the sake of a mere human nobleman, would they?"

Bowing down, Lin Xueyin's murderous words instantly silenced the previously clamoring Kolas, who stared in terror at the suddenly unfamiliar girl before him, as if she had transformed into a demon overnight.

"Be honest, maybe you can still return to the Empire alive, but even if you do, you probably won't have a chance to survive."

The mocking gaze, filled with contempt, indifference, and even a hint of smugness, plunged the man into utter despair.

"Hey, I don't know why, but I suddenly have this feeling that I'm the villain. This is really bad, really bad."

He turned and walked towards his bed, leaving behind a group of stunned men and a pair of mocking eyes watching Korras lying on the ground, too afraid to even get up.

Do you really think that Sister Xueyin is one of those weak women who never fight back when hit or cursed? Her tolerance is only for those who deserve forgiveness. As for you, a man filled with filthy blood, how could you possibly receive Sister Xueyin's forgiveness?

"What are you still doing lying here? Get out of here, get as far away as you can. Don't think this is a safe haven. I've never been lenient with my enemies."

Completely unaware of how he got out of the room, Korath looked back at the tightly closed door. At that moment, he didn't know how to express the anger and resentment he felt.

A ferocious look gradually appeared in his eyes, his fists were clenched tightly, his face was ashen, and fierce, cruel, dark, and negative emotions kept overflowing from his body.

"Lin Xueyin, Lin Xueyin, Lin Xueyin, Lin Xueyin, kill, kill, kill, I will definitely kill you, I will definitely kill you."

“Mr. Coras, I think you’d better calm down. Our mission is to protect her safety. I hope you can recognize your role and not make things too difficult for our Guards.”

The captain of the Imperial Guard, who had previously been preparing to speak with Lin Xueyin about the assassin's affiliation, now wore a look of disdain. It was already so obvious; did he really need to search for more evidence? If this man's father hadn't been an Imperial Marquis, he would have definitely used his sword to teach him what loyalty to the emperor and patriotism truly meant.

Noticing the change in the guards' attitude towards him, Kolas's face contorted with rage as he stumbled toward his room.

"Damn Lin Xueyin, I'll make you die by my hand sooner or later!" With this thought, Kolas finally returned to his room.

Looking at myself in the mirror, the large bruise on my face, already swollen, was so humiliating.

Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't bring them in. Fortunately, none of this has anything to do with me. Without direct evidence, so what if I have suspicions? Can you kill me?

The shattered mirror reflects a man's maniacal laughter; what follows remains shrouded in mystery.
