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

Wen Qianyi hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her right hand, and a small ball of bluish-red flame rose in her palm.

Upon seeing this scene, Li Qiushui and the others immediately thought of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Flame that Wen Qianyi possessed. Every kind of Heavenly Flame recorded on the Heavenly Flame Ranking is a unique treasure of heaven and earth, with only one of its kind in the world.

The Heavenly Flame in Wen Qianyi's hand exuded an astonishing aura of destruction, yet it also possessed a surging life force. Moreover, its color was mixed with blood red, completely different from the original cyan-green. Yet, it was indeed the Azure Dragon Heavenly Flame. Its terrifying heat and the occasional rising azure dragon shape could not be faked.

Looking at the Heavenly Flame in her hand, Wen Qianyi slowly explained, "In that secret realm, I found a place similar to the Ice Spirit Jade Lake, where a Heavenly Flame called Jade Amber Blood Flame was born."

With the help of my predecessors, I obtained a secret technique passed down from ancient powerful beings. This technique helped me combine two kinds of heavenly fire, so the Azure Dragon Heavenly Flame I have now is the result of fusing the Jade Amber Blood Flame.

"After absorbing the Jade Amber Blood Flame, my strength increased greatly, which is why I instantly reached the eighth star of the Nirvana Realm. I could have broken through to the ninth star, but I quickly suppressed it."

Li Qiushui and the others: "..."

Perhaps only silence could express their feelings at this moment. They never expected Wen Qianyi to have such an exaggerated harvest in the secret realm, and her strength was almost about to jump to the ninth level of Nirvana Realm. The ninth level of Nirvana Realm is just one step away from the Dragon Transformation Realm.

In fact, Li Qiushui and the others had already confirmed that this was Wen Qianyi. The token could be faked, but the Heavenly Fire and some other details could not be faked. After all, Wen Qianyi was the only one in the entire academy who did not call Lin Ran by her name, but only "senior".

"I'm sorry, Qianyi!"

After confirming that there were no problems, Li Qiushui apologized to Wen Qianyi. She had just returned and was being interrogated in turn. Wen Qianyi's attitude was quite bad. If it were someone with a bad temper, she might have flipped the table.

With a bright smile on her face, Wen Qianyi said softly, "Sister Qiushui, it's alright. You were thinking of the academy and the lives of the elders. My sudden return in the middle of the night, and the rapid advancement in my strength, would indeed make you suspicious, but it was unavoidable."

The current situation was indeed quite unexpected for Wen Qianyi; she hadn't anticipated that Linghua Academy was in such a dire predicament.

Wen Qianyi pressed for details and finally learned from Li Qiushui that it was her older sister who had given a strict order for Li Qiushui to be stationed here.

"I'm sorry, Sister Qiushui, you've had a tough year or two!" Wen Qianyi said apologetically.

Having the battle maniac Li Qiushui stationed here for nearly two years must have been torture for her!

"Waaaaah, Qianyi, you really understand your sister!"

Li Qiushui exclaimed and hugged Wen Qianyi tightly, burying her face in Wen Qianyi's chest like a child.

The other elders couldn't help but laugh at the sight and rushed to hug Wen Qianyi.

As the darling of the academy, Wen Qianyi has always been favored by the elders. The elders who voluntarily stayed here are more worried about Wen Qianyi than Lin Ran.

Especially during the time when Wen Qianyi disappeared with Lin Ran, she was always very anxious, fearing that Lin Ran would do something to their little darling.

So when Lin Ran cleared away the miscellaneous soldiers outside, she walked directly into the tent without saying hello. As soon as she entered, she saw Wen Qianyi being embraced by many elders, her whole body buried in that ball of flesh.

For a moment, Lin Ran felt a pang of envy and almost shouted, "Let her go, let me have her!"

Lin Ran couldn't help but start fantasizing:

"I wonder when I'll get this kind of treatment!"

That would be suffocating, in every way…

……

Chapter 194 Lin Ran's Shameless Confession

"Vice Dean Lin!"

Li Qiushui and the other elders quickly released Wen Qianyi and greeted Lin Ran.

Released, Wen Qianyi's pretty face flushed red. After straightening her clothes slightly, she ran behind Lin Ran and shrank back, too ashamed to face these fierce older sisters.

"Cough cough..."

Lin Ran coughed lightly and said tactfully, "I hope I haven't disturbed you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Ran felt her soft flesh around her waist being pinched.

Although she didn't feel any pain, Lin Ran knew that Qianyi was shy, so she quickly covered up the awkward atmosphere with a few words.

Lin Ran casually found a seat and sat down, while Wen Qianyi sat obediently beside her.

After learning about the situation from Li Qiushui, Lin Ran said seriously, "We'll find a time to set off back tomorrow. Elder Qiushui, you go ahead first. Qianyi and I will follow you secretly."

I suspect the road back tomorrow won't be very safe. Many of the people lying in wait outside tonight are from the dangerous triangle area; they're a bunch of desperate criminals. Judging by how they operate there, either they think we have valuables, or someone paid them a lot of money to come and get us. You need to be extra careful tomorrow.”

Lin Ran also planned to take advantage of the opportunity on the way back tomorrow to ask these people who had been intentionally targeting their Linghua Academy. Was it the Lingjing Holy Land, the Xuanfu Sect, or some other forces they had come into contact with?

……

The next morning, after politely saying goodbye to the Sword Sect, Linghua Academy set off and left.

They hadn't even packed up the tents, and were rushing on their way, giving the impression that something had happened at Linghua Academy and they needed to rush back to deal with it.

Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi trailed far behind the group. With the help of communication tokens, they could contact Li Qiushui at any time, so they didn't need to worry too much about falling behind.

As they walked through the forest, Wen Qianyi would glance at Lin Ran from time to time, seemingly wanting to ask her something but too embarrassed to speak.

Having seen through Wen Qianyi's little tricks, Lin Ran slowed down slightly, glanced at Wen Qianyi, and said softly, "Is there something you want to tell me?"

“Senior, why don’t you spend more time with Mengqing? You might not see her for a long time in the future…” Wen Qianyi asked softly.

She had also asked Shangguan Mengqing this question, and received an answer that, in her opinion, was very confident, even arrogant, that time and space would not hinder her feelings for Lin Ran.

If you add to that Shangguan Mengqing's words at the very beginning of entering the secret realm, "Lin Ran and I will not be together," then the two together give Wen Qianyi the feeling that "what I give you is yours, and what I don't give you, you can't take away," which sounds quite unpleasant.

So, almost as if by some strange twist of fate, she wanted to ask Lin Ran what her opinion was.

When Lin Ran heard this question, she almost blurted out the "phone call." After all, with a phone call, the feelings couldn't possibly fade away. Shangguan Mengqing wasn't the type to be fickle; it was more likely that he himself had a bigger problem.

But Qianyi is also a girlfriend with whom I've expressed my feelings and have a close relationship, so this question is not easy to answer!

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ran slowly said, "There will always be a time for separation. Staying in that secret realm for too long has kept many people who care about us on edge. We both have heavy responsibilities on our shoulders, so we have to put aside our personal feelings for now. There will always be a chance to meet again in the future!"

Hearing the two speak so similarly, one has to admit that there's always a wonderful tacit understanding between Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing, which makes Wen Qianyi quite envious.

Wen Qianyi's tone became strange due to the fluctuations in her inner emotions, and she even stopped looking at the road. She had been holding back for far too long, and having just broken through to a higher realm, her Nirvana Realm soul was not yet stable enough, so she suddenly erupted.

Wen Qianyi looked at Lin Ran excitedly and said, "Senior and Mengqing's relationship is really good. I feel like a bad guy who accidentally stumbled into your relationship. I thought I was mentally prepared enough to not care anymore."

But seeing you two making love made me realize how painful it is to see the person you love in bed with another woman. I don't know what to do... I really...

"bump!"

With a dull thud, Wen Qianyi felt as if she had bumped into something, and the next moment she was embraced by a strong and warm hug.

"That's my senior's chest..." Wen Qianyi smelled that familiar scent, and her mind went blank as she was embraced.

Just before Wen Qianyi was about to crash into the tree, Lin Ran hugged her and took a deep breath.

He had been wanting to tell Wen Qianyi for a while, but she always avoided giving him the chance. Now might be a good time; at least he could make it clear and not have to suffer in silence anymore.

"Qianyi, you and Mengqing are both people I care about very much. What I'm about to say may be shameless, but it's true... I don't want to lose either of you, Mengqing, for no reason at all."

"You can see how close Mengqing and I are. Although it was an accident, I didn't intentionally hide anything from you. I met Mengqing a few years ago, but she was using an alias and was disguised. I didn't know she was Shangguan Mengqing."

I liked her back then, but I didn't have the courage to tell her. It wasn't until the trip to the secret realm, and after that unexpected incident, that I realized our feelings for each other and confessed.

“I know I’m fickle. On one hand, I accept your affection, but when I see Mengqing, I’m distracted and get intimate with other women… But you’ve seen everything. If… you’re still willing to accept me, I’ll be very happy.”

Lin Ran decided to make everything clear today. How long could she hide or avoid it? So, this shameless bitch Lin Ran decided to pull this stunt and lay her cards on the table.

Anyway, I don't care anymore. Shangguan Mengqing will never give up. You saw it for yourself. We did that, and we were already like that. How could we possibly give up?

As for Wen Qianyi, although the two did not have a physical relationship, they had feelings for each other and were deeply in love.

Since I've gone this far with you all, you're mine now. That's my stance. What are you going to do about it?

But Lin Ran's behavior goes beyond shamelessness; she's practically asking for death!

However, this approach was quite effective because it gave Wen Qianyi the choice. But Wen Qianyi also had another option: to slap Lin Ran across the face and beat up this shameless, fickle, and perverted old man.

For a long time, Wen Qianyi did not respond to Lin Ran's words. She just hid in Lin Ran's arms, her whole body shrouded in her long black hair, and no expression could be seen.

The atmosphere became incredibly tense. In fact, Lin Ran was so scared that his hands were trembling. After blurting out those words, his courage suddenly turned cowardly. What he said actually hurt Wen Qianyi, forcing her to accept this situation.

Just then, the elder token on Lin Ran's waist suddenly lit up faintly, and Lin Ran quickly took it.

"Vice Dean Lin, Qianyi, where are you? We're under attack at the entrance, requesting backup!"

"Okay, we're on our way now!" Lin Ran replied quickly.

Lin Ran hung the token back on her waist, wondering what to say.

Wen Qianyi gently pushed Lin Ran away, breaking free from his embrace. She tilted her head back, her eyes red, sniffed, and finally focused her gaze on Lin Ran, saying fiercely, "You stinky senior, hurry up and set off to rescue them! If the rescue is delayed because of you and the sisters get hurt, I'll... I'll turn you into roast chicken!"

hiss!

Lin Ran couldn't help but gasp. He felt that his second brother was acting strangely, sometimes hot and sometimes cold. Shangguan Mengqing wanted "white-cut chicken", but Wen Qianyi wanted "heavenly fire roasted chicken". Why was his second brother like this?

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Ran immediately transformed into a golden beam of light and rushed towards the entrance of the mountain range at an extremely fast speed. If it could make this operation clear, he was willing to call it "saving that chicken".

Wen Qianyi shook off her thoughts and quickly followed. As for the emotional issues, she would deal with them after resolving the immediate crisis.

……

At the entrance to this desolate mountain range, Li Qiushui led several elders from Linghua Academy to deal with the dozens of men in black who insisted on dressing in black even in broad daylight.

Among them were two men in black who had just entered the Nirvana Realm. They appeared to be a couple and worked together to entangle Li Qiushui, who was the strongest fighter.

A woman in black, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit with a graceful figure, wields a soft sword with extreme cunning and ruthlessness.

While preventing Li Qiushui from getting close, he also sustained numerous injuries. Meanwhile, another man in black was playing a jade flute. The music from the flute caused the group of men in black to roar and howl incessantly. Their eyes seemed to turn fierce and bloodshot, filled with wildness, as if their blood had been ignited, as they frantically attacked the elders of Linghua Academy.

The sound played by the jade flute was not pleasant for the all-female elders of the Linghua Academy. An uncontrollable flame suddenly rose within them, and the heat affected their mental clarity.

Li Qiushui immediately recognized the source of the strange and ingenious skills of the man and woman in black, and couldn't help but shout angrily, "Damn Sun Moon Sect, they're targeting our Linghua Academy again!"

"Hehe, Elder Qiushui, why are you saying such hurtful things about our Sun Moon Sect? We're not targeting anyone, we're just having a friendly exchange with our colleagues from Linghua Academy!" the woman wielding the soft sword said with a charming laugh.

"Hmph, only your Sun Moon Sect would resort to such despicable tactics. You two are the famous Jade Sword Couple of the Sun Moon Sect, aren't you? You really don't deserve such a fine name!" Li Qiushui stomped her foot hard on the ground, using the burst of power to approach the woman in black.

But just as the fist was about to strike the Jade Sword Couple, a green barrier filled with various musical notes appeared in front of Li Qiushui, blocking the attack. Moreover, the green barrier also unleashed a powerful suction force, firmly locking Li Qiushui's right fist.

The woman in black chuckled, her soft sword flashing with lightning speed as she prepared to stab Li Qiushui in the defenseless chest, saying, "Elder Qiushui, why are you in such a hurry to communicate with our Sun Moon Sect!"

Faced with this extremely fast and tricky sword strike, Li Qiushui was already prepared to try to block it with her left hand.

Just then, Li Qiushui heard a whooshing sound in her ear. A strangely shaped longsword descended from the sky and landed beside her, unfurling a golden sword energy barrier. It not only blocked the soft sword thrust by the woman in black, but the terrifying sword energy on the barrier, carrying a mysterious fluctuation, instantly pierced half of the woman in black's body.

Then a voice slowly drifted over from this side.

"You little rascal, you're up to no good! You want me to eat Heavenly Fire Roasted Chicken, don't you!"
