My father is the main character, but the female leads want to kill me.

Lin Ran had seen mermaids leap out of the sea in the movies before, and today he was fortunate enough to witness that artistic scene. Although the location had changed to volcanic lava, it was still quite similar to the sea!

Wen Qianyi leaped out of the lava and lightly stepped into the air. A small ball of spiritual energy supported her delicate jade feet, and she walked towards Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing as if walking up stairs. At the same time, Wen Qianyi quickly put on her clothes, which concealed her spring-like appearance, and her pretty face was covered with a faint blush.

Clearly, the affected scene just now had made her quite shy, but she saw that her senior's gaze was completely focused on her.

Aside from shyness, she also had a touch of pride. She was capable of attracting the attention of her seniors, and she was no less capable than Meng Qing. The weight in her heart was truly substantial!

Wen Qianyi came to the two of them and first protected Shangguan Mengqing. She sincerely said, "Thank you, Mengqing. Thank you for the secret technique you gave me and for letting me refine the Jade Amber Blood Flame, which is ranked tenth on the Heavenly Fire Ranking. I don't know how to thank you enough."

"No need to thank me. I just gave you a chance, and you seized it. This is what you deserve. From now on, just keep a close eye on Lin Ran for me and make sure he doesn't go around fooling around with other women!"

Shangguan Mengqing gave this answer on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking: Is this how you thank me? You're seducing my uncle right in front of me?

Of course, these were just some unspoken grievances in her heart. If she were to say them out loud, it would make her seem petty and intolerant. She had grand ambitions, and this matter could be tolerated.

Moreover, there's nothing wrong with Qianyi pursuing the person she likes. The one who's wrong is this perverted old man, who's been flirting with one woman after another, and she's even been dragged into it!

"I will keep a close eye on Senior for you, Mengqing. I am now at the eighth level of the Nirvana Realm, and Senior may not be able to beat me. If Senior dares to provoke any shady women outside, I will teach him a lesson!" Wen Qianyi agreed without the slightest hesitation.

In preventing Lin Ran from getting involved with other women, Wen Qianyi and Shangguan Mengqing shared a common goal and formed a united front.

Wen Qianyi waved her little fists at Lin Ran to match her earlier aggressive words, which was quite imposing. But to Lin Ran, it looked more like she was acting cute and coquettish, mainly because Qianyi's personality was too gentle.

If Shangguan Mengqing were to make that threat, such as staring at you coldly and making a scissor gesture, Lin Ran would be drenched in sweat.

However, putting aside Lin Ran's influence, Wen Qianyi was still very grateful to Shangguan Mengqing.

Others may not know what sacrifices Shangguan Mengqing made, but Wen Qianyi knows that there are no ordinary opportunities beneath this magma world.

Each celestial fire is almost unique in the world, and those who are destined to obtain it will surely have great fortune.

The Jade Amber Blood Flame, ranked tenth on the Heavenly Fire Ranking, is even more miraculous. Born in a scorching place like magma, yet in such a place where life is difficult to give birth, the Jade Amber Blood Flame possesses astonishing life energy.

The jade tiger blood that accompanies it has pure and rich energy and vibrant vitality. If the fire poison can be removed, it is almost a great tonic.

And in this underground magma world, there is an astonishing amount of Jade Amber Blood.

To draw an analogy, it's just like the Ice Spirit Jade Lake of their Linghua Academy, with an equally exaggerated amount of resources.

Of course, it also has extremely fatal aspects, namely the presence of cold poison and fire poison. Without the help of heavenly fire, ordinary people would have to exert a great deal of effort to absorb the energy inside. Those without that ability can only watch the treasure in front of them and feel saddened.

The energy Wen Qianyi absorbed when breaking through to the Nirvana Realm was mainly from the Jade Tiger Blood Flame. She only absorbed a portion of the energy from the bottom of the pool, but this was enough for her to break through to the eighth star of the Nirvana Realm, leaping more than ten levels, including a major realm.

But what's even more remarkable is the secret technique that allows the fusion of different heavenly fires, which completely overturned Wen Qianyi's understanding.

She had once wondered if she could fuse multiple types of heavenly fire to make the heavenly fire stronger, but the bloody examples in ancient books told her that there were countless cases of people being burned to death by the heavenly fire.

Through that secret method, she successfully fused the Azure Dragon Heavenly Flame and the Jade Amber Blood Flame together, forming a new kind of heavenly fire, which still left Wen Qianyi in disbelief.

Shangguan Mengqing gave her this secret method directly, without worrying that she would use it for evil purposes, so she was truly grateful to Shangguan Mengqing.

Even though this was a trap or a test set by Shangguan Mengqing, Wen Qianyi was willing to step into it in order to become strong enough to avoid the same thing happening before.

After exchanging pleasantries, Shangguan Mengqing looked at Wen Qianyi and Lin Ran and said seriously, "Now that Qianyi has also emerged from seclusion, I am going to see you off as well."

I have some things to take care of, so I can't leave with you. And once you're back outside, be extremely careful. It would be best to change your identities, live under an assumed name for a while, and then find an excuse to go back. Understand?

"Do you think the people outside have already realized that you obtained the inheritance?" Lin Ran couldn't help but ask.

Shangguan Mengqing shook her head and pondered, "I guess those people are already looking for people. I forcibly sent all of them out to save their lives, which has led to a problem."

Although there were many people, they weren't stupid; they would definitely check to see who hadn't come out yet, and among those who hadn't, without a doubt, I was the prime suspect.

Actually, there were other things Shangguan Mengqing didn't mention; she only realized them belatedly.

That's the strange behavior of the Spirit Pure Holy Land. Perhaps the Spirit Pure Holy Land somehow learned that there was a legacy within, and now that the secret realm has undergone an anomaly, it's easy to imagine that someone got there first and obtained the legacy. The Spirit Pure Holy Land is definitely eager to find out who stole it. Perhaps they've started calling on more people to find out who got the legacy.

She could see what was happening outside this secret place through the spatial core. There had been a lot of commotion outside for a while, but things had calmed down a bit recently.

She wasn't actually afraid of these people knowing that it was she, Shangguan Mengqing, who had obtained the inheritance, because she had the Sword Sect behind her. As long as her master knew that she had obtained the inheritance, he would immediately bring a large force to protect her and take her back.

What she feared was that Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi would be labeled as having obtained the inheritance, or that they would gain something by following her team, which would put them in danger.

"Then what are you going to do?" Lin Ran couldn't help but ask.

This only earned her a glare from Shangguan Mengqing, who coldly retorted, "I don't need your concern. If you make another sound, I'll throw you out right now!"

"Hey, aren't you even going to say a few words of concern to me? I'm your man, you know..."

Lin Ran, her temper flaring, was about to launch a verbal attack on Shangguan Mengqing when she was enveloped by a deep blue light. Powerful spatial energy surged, and Lin Ran vanished from the magma world in an instant.

In this magma world, only Shangguan Mengqing and Wen Qianyi remained. With Lin Ran gone, the two could say a few things that Lin Ran couldn't hear.

"I teleported him to a very far and safe place, so don't worry too much!" Shangguan Mengqing explained.

Wen Qianyi looked at Shangguan Mengqing. Although her stunning face was hidden by a veil, there was a special emotion in her eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "We won't see each other for a long time. Why don't we spend more time together?"

"We've said goodbye to those who needed to. Our relationship has a long way to go, so we don't care about this moment..." Shangguan Mengqing said calmly.

Seeing Shangguan Mengqing so calm and collected, Wen Qianyi had a strange feeling in her heart, perhaps she wanted to see Shangguan Mengqing scared and flustered.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll steal your senior away?" Wen Qianyi said.

"You can try it, I'll be watching!" Shangguan Mengqing crossed her arms and looked calmly at Wen Qianyi.

This magma world, though seemingly peaceful, exudes a sense of lurking danger. It only became slightly better after Wen Qianyi was also teleported out.

But when Shangguan Mengqing stood alone in the sky above this magma world, a sense of loneliness welled up in her heart. She always felt that something was missing that bothered her.

Shangguan Mengqing shook her head, clearing her mind of those distracting thoughts, and murmured softly:

"Shangguan Mengqing, you've only just left and you're already acting like this? Have some self-respect!"

.......

Chapter 193 Qianyi's Misunderstanding

Beyond the secret realm lies a vast, untamed mountain range, where many forces still roam to this day.

For no other reason than to lie in wait for that bastard who not only inherited the legacy but also manipulated a whole bunch of people.

After forcibly sending everyone out of the secret realm, those who had suffered greatly inside not only gained nothing but also lost a considerable amount of their possessions. Naturally, they were furious with the guy who had made a fortune without a word.

Even Linghua Academy was affected by this. Of course, it's not that they profited from it, but because you guys are too close to the Sword Sect, and the Sword Sect Fairy is the prime suspect, so they just dealt with you as well.

Of course, whether the Lingjing Holy Land and the Xuanfu Sect exerted any influence on the targeting of Linghua Academy is unknown.

After all, these are the only two super-powerful forces that have seen Shangguan Mengqing in the secret realm. With their power, a simple investigation would reveal which forces Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi, who are with Shangguan Mengqing, belong to.

Therefore, things haven't been easy for Linghua Academy lately. Apart from some students who died in the secret realm, most students from Tianli Academy and Songling Academy have come out, so they soon led a group of students to evacuate from this troublesome place.

At the Linghua Academy's encampment, only Li Qiushui and a few elders who had come from the secret realm and voluntarily stayed behind remained.

They were still near the Sword Sect's encampment. Ouyang Zi, the current leader of the Sword Sect, received orders to return some time after the secret realm opened, and the leader of the Sword Sect changed several times afterward.

After all the people from the secret realm withdrew last time, the person in charge suddenly became a beautiful woman whom Li Qiushui had only seen next to the Sword Sect Fairy.

This beautiful woman took full control of the encampment and managed it in an orderly manner. She also took good care of Linghua Academy and helped them avoid a lot of trouble.

However, there were simply too many people coming to their door, and the Sword Sect was quite annoyed dealing with them. As a result, they paid less attention to Linghua Academy, and many people turned to bully this easy target instead.

This evening, Li Qiushui led a group of elders to drive away the group of people who had come to harass them, and then returned to their encampment.

In a simple, small conference room, Li Qiushui, sitting at the head of the table, rubbed her temples and looked at the elders below, saying helplessly, "How about I tell the dean that we should go back first?"

"Waiting here isn't a solution either. There are even more Spirit Core Realm cultivators here today. These guys come looking for trouble every few days, and we've almost used up all our recovery pills."

Li Qiushui was really helpless. Fighting with those guys wasn't enjoyable at all, as they all used underhanded tricks and dirty tactics.

Their purpose is just to come and annoy you, and then they run away. Sometimes they even come to attack in the middle of the night. At first, the Sword Sect could help them, but now they are just suffering along with the Sword Sect.

The other elders of Linghua Academy nodded in agreement. Their initial plan was quite simple: to wait for Vice Dean Lin and Qianyi. However, they did not expect that the two would not come out for so long.

The situation outside changed rapidly. After a round of "finding the mole," the Sword Sect was finally located, and they were also in a bad situation.

Seeing that the elders all agreed, Li Qiushui couldn't wait to take out her communication token, preparing to contact the dean and discuss it with him.

Just then, a gentle voice came from outside the tent and rang in the ears of each elder.

"Elders, I am Qianyi!"

The elders quickly stood up, looked at each other, and finally looked at Li Qiushui, waiting for her to give an order.

Li Qiushui thought for a moment, made a gesture to remind the elders, and then called out to the outside, "Come in!"

A figure dressed in a wide black robe lifted the curtain and walked in. The moment he entered, he felt several gazes fixed on him. There were also faint, almost imperceptible fluctuations of spiritual energy in the conference room, with undercurrents surging.

Wen Qianyi didn't care at all. She took off her hood, and a wisp of black hair playfully peeked out and draped casually over her shoulders. On her beautiful face, she wore a gentle smile and said softly, "Elders, Qianyi is back!"

When the elders saw that it was Wen Qianyi, they couldn't help but smile with delight. Just as they were thinking of lowering their guard, Li Qiushui snorted coldly and said, "You are not Qianyi!"

"what?"

The other elders were startled and quickly looked at Li Qiushui, asking in confusion, "Qiushui, how could this not be Qianyi!"

“I’ve raised this girl since she was a baby, how could it not be her?”

Several elders felt that Li Qiushui was under too much pressure and was treating Qianyi as an enemy.

Li Qiushui did not respond, but looked at Wen Qianyi with vigilance as if facing a formidable enemy. The moment she saw Wen Qianyi, she felt the hair on her body stand on end. Her keen combat intuition told her that the person in front of her was extremely dangerous.

She had only ever seen such a dangerous aura from Lin Ran, Yue Lei, the vice dean of Songling Academy, and others. Those people were all at the peak of the Nirvana Realm, which meant that the person in front of her was at least at the eighth or ninth level of the Nirvana Realm, which was why she, who was only at the fourth level of the Nirvana Realm, could feel such a strong sense of pressure.

"Even if Qianyi had great opportunities in the secret realm, it's impossible for her to jump from the third or fourth level of the Spirit Pill Realm to the peak of the Nirvana Realm all at once. Who exactly are you?" Li Qiushui questioned.

"what?"

Upon hearing Li Qiushui's words, the elders' expressions changed. They silently withdrew their steps and became even more wary of the "stranger" in front of them.

Wen Qianyi didn't expect that her sneaking back would be questioned by the elders, but they could understand.

After all, I inquired about the people stationed at Linghua Academy and found that they had been frequently harassed by unknown forces recently.

Now that she's back, and because she's only recently broken through, her aura isn't fully developed and she can't control it, which is why Li Qiushui has become suspicious of her.

Wen Qianyi quickly took out her elder token and several other items that could prove her identity, carefully placed them on the table, pushed them slightly, and then quickly withdrew her hand, saying, "Elders, you can check this. This is my elder token."

"And my alchemist's badge, alchemist's robe, etc., these can all prove my identity. Please check them!"

Li Qiushui and several elders exchanged glances. Finally, one of the elders went over to carefully examine the items, and even had the other elders appraise them together. This took quite a bit of time. In the end, the elders confirmed that they were all Wen Qianyi's items.

But Li Qiushui suddenly said, "Qianyi, although these things can indeed prove your identity, could you please tell me where Vice Dean Lin is and why your strength has suddenly increased so much?"

In fact, what he was saying was that although many of your suspicions had been eliminated, there were still many problems. The biggest problem was your strength. You jumped from the third or fourth star of the Spirit Pill Realm to the peak of the eighth star of the Nirvana Realm. Such a cultivation speed was truly terrifying.

"The senior is clearing out the people lying in ambush nearby. He asked me to come and let him know. He'll be there shortly. As for the issue of strength..."
