The ones that ca in were expected and unexpected.
The ones that were expected were my family mbers. It was my mother and big brother, but there was also my father who was with them.
When I saw that they weren't hurt, it felt like my heart could finally relax.
But I could also see the way that they looked at with worried looks.
I knew why they were looking at like this, so I couldn't help feeling a bit guilty.
The ones that I didn't expect were An Xue Yun and the bodyguard from the Huo Family.
Well, I did expect An Xue Yun a bit since she had co with to the dungeon break zone.
The bodyguard from the Huo Family was a complete surprise since I didn't think he would make contact with unless I made contact with him first.
Or at least that was what he said before…
Once they ca in and saw that I was alright, my mother said with a stern look, "What were you thinking? You said that you would run away if it got dangerous, do you know how worried we were?"
I couldn't help looking down when I heard this since I knew that it was as she said.

But in the end, both my brother and father ca to support .
They helped out by saying that what I did could be considered heroic since many people had been saved because of .
At that, I couldn't help asking about the others.
"They all made it out safely, you don't have to worry about it. With the Fanged Wolves that you sent us, they helped guide us out of the dungeon break zone and et up with the rescuers." My brother explained before awkwardly adding, "Though it was hard to explain why there were Fanged Wolves with us in the first place."
I let out a sigh of relief when I heard this.
But that was caught by my mother and she said, "Next ti, do it without risking your life."
I could hear the worry in her voice, but also a trace of pride which made a faint smile appear on my face.
After this continued for a bit, I turned to look at An Xue Yun who had been silently standing on the side the entire ti and asked, "Were you the ones that saved ?"
An Xue Yun didn't answer this question.
Now that I had talked to her, she ca forward and raised a finger to poke in the chest before saying, "What were you thinking?"
I was caught off guard by her sudden question, but then I said, "I was doing what I needed to do to save those people."
"And that just ans putting your life in danger?" She tapped my chest a few more tis after I said this.
To my surprise, my mother suddenly said, "That's right, Xue Yun, you tell him. If you don't make it clear to him, he'll never listen to you."
I was surprised by what my mother said since she said it as if she was already familiar with An Xue Yun. But to my knowledge, it should have been the first ti that the two of them t.
With my mother backing her, An Xue Yun continued to push the matter until I finally said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking."
"That's right, you weren't thinking. It's a good thing that it turned out well, but you should know how many people have died in your position in the past. Make sure that you learn to prioritize your own life in the future."
The only thing that I could do was nod in agreent to this until she was finished with her lecture.
But then I asked, "Who saved ?"
They all looked at with strange looks when they heard this before my brother slowly explained, "We don't know. When you were found, you were found next to the dead Orc King and all of those orc corpses. They just assud that you were the one that killed them all and brought you back."
I slowly shook my head before saying, "No, I wasn't the one that killed them. I fainted after taking out the Orc King…"
"You took down the Orc King?" They all asked in surprised voices.
I slowly gave a nod to confirm this.
It seed that they hadn't believed that I had even taken care of the Orc King, which showed that they knew well.
Even I found it hard to believe that I had defeated the Orc King.
In the end, they just shook their heads to show that they didn't know what happened.
I figured as much, so I didn't keep pursuing this matter.
Instead, there was sothing else that I wanted to know.
"How do you know each other?" I asked my mother while looking between her and An Xue Yun.
My mother just said with a smile, "That's right, if you hadn't ntioned it, I would have forgotten." She went over to An Xue Yun's side and asked, "Why did you never ntion this lovely little girl before? Are you embarrassed of her or sothing?"
I was completely caught off guard when she said this.
After all, the way that she said this was almost like what one would say about their son's girlfriend.
I couldn't help slowly looking at An Xue Yun after she said this.
I thought that with the personality she had, she would be able to easily keep her cool and play it off, but it turned out that this wasn't the case.
There was a blush that was on An Xue Yun's face after my mother said this.
With a cough, I awkwardly said, "Mom, it's not like that. Please stop making it worse."
She looked at with narrowed eyes and then at An Xue Yun before turning back to say with a sigh, "You should know that I'm not young anymore and all the neighbours are starting to have grandchildren. I just want to know when it's my turn."
With another awkward cough, I said, "Shouldn't you ask my big brother first?"
At that, she turned to look at my big brother and nodded in agreent before saying, "That's right, Jun'er, when are you going to find a nice girl for yourself?"
An awkward smile appeared on Lin Jun's face before he gave an awkward laugh, "Ha, ha, ha."
It was awkward, but at least it helped relieve the tension of the situation.
