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

Wen Bixuan shook her head, and instead of letting Lin Ran and the others stand there, she invited everyone to sit down and begin talking about the secret realm and what had happened on the way back.

Even though she had already learned some of the information from the returning elders, Wen Bixuan still wanted to hear more about her younger sister and... Vice Dean Lin's experiences in the secret realm.

When Wen Bixuan and Qiu Qingzi learned that Wen Qianyi had already reached the eighth level of the Nirvana Realm, they were just as shocked as Li Qiushui and the others.

Wen Bixuan's first priority was to check Wen Qianyi's physical condition. Wen Qianyi was not annoyed. She smiled and let her sister hold her wrist, completely relaxing her mind so that her sister could probe in with her spiritual energy to check.

At first, Wen Bixuan's eyes showed surprise, but soon a hint of something unreadable appeared. However, she did not show it immediately. Instead, she withdrew her hand and said calmly, "That's good. Our academy will have another powerful fighter in the future. Perhaps Qianyi will soon surpass her sister."

"Oh, not at all! I'm still far behind you, sister!" Wen Qianyi didn't notice her sister's unusual expression. With a hint of shyness on her face, she was happy to hear her sister praise her so directly.

Qiu Qingzi, standing nearby, looked at Wen Bixuan with some surprise, but didn't pay much attention, assuming that Wen Bixuan was just too happy.

After discussing the secret realm, the conversation turned to the Sun Moon Sect and the Danger Triangle's targeting of Linghua Academy.

Qiu Qingzi has also been dealing with these issues recently. When Lin Ran brought it up, she immediately chimed in, "Recently, those people in the dangerous triangle area have indeed been very active. They keep provoking the various academies."

Our academy suffered the most losses. It is clear that a significant portion of the people in the danger triangle were targeting us, and many of our guards have died trying to maintain the security of our area.

Our current manpower is barely enough to fight those guys. We've recalled all the students who were away, and we're gathering and training the more capable ones to supplement the guard force.

Linghua Academy has indeed been having a tough time lately. Basically, none of the academy's elders have had a moment to spare, as they have all been dispatched to lead the guard teams to fight against those guys in the dangerous triangle area.

Logically speaking, Li Qiushui and the others should have been summoned back much earlier, but because Wen Qianyi and Lin Ran had not yet come out, some elders were sent to stay there while others rushed back to help.

"But this can't go on forever!"

Qiu Qingzi continued, "We need to think of some good solutions, otherwise, if things continue like this, we'll have even less money to support the academy. Recently, a considerable number of people have left Linghua City."

Haruko was also quite annoyed. Just when Ayaka Castle was showing a good momentum and seemed to be growing stronger, it suffered such a blow. It was hard not to feel angry.

Faced with this stubborn ailment, those present, including Lin Ran, did not have a particularly good solution for the time being. In fact, this was a problem that arose because Linghua Academy was weak, but it was only after getting too close to the Sword Sect that the problem became more serious.

Wen Bixuan spoke up appropriately, not continuing to discuss this troublesome issue. It was a good thing that Lin Ran and the others had returned, and Wen Bixuan decided to hold a small banquet to welcome them back and let them rest.

After all, in a few days we'll be engaged in the battle against the danger triangle.

……

2. Whispering

At the banquet tonight, Lin Ran also drank too much. Instead of using her spiritual power to expel the alcohol, she enjoyed the tipsy feeling.

Actually, let alone Lin Ran, the elders, including Li Qiushui, were no less capable of drinking than the men, even though they were women. Li Qiushui, in particular, picked up the wine jar and drank it down. When she got drunk, she started talking nonsense, punching and kicking, and finally collapsed after a few burps.

Although the other elders didn't drink as wildly as Li Qiushui, they still drank quite a bit. Clearly, both the battles in the secret realm and on the way back had put a lot of pressure on them, and they all wanted to relax properly by getting drunk.

Wen Qianyi was quite busy, constantly advising everyone not to drink so much and to be mindful of their drinking habits. However, this backfired, as everyone drank with gusto, and some elders even engaged in some rather unrefined behavior, making Wen Qianyi blush deeply.

Finally, Qiu Qingzi and Wen Bixuan walked into the courtyard side by side, where they saw Wen Qianyi taking care of the elders who were lying in twos and threes.

When Wen Qianyi saw her sister and Sister Qiu arrive, she tried to quickly separate the two "passionate" elders, but ended up being left behind and could only watch helplessly as the two elders displayed their "timeless" art. At this point, Wen Qianyi was powerless to change anything.

Seeing this scene, Wen Bixuan's face darkened. Just as she was about to reprimand them, Qiu Qingzi quickly pulled Wen Bixuan back, winked at Wen Qianyi, and said hurriedly, "Qianyi, why don't you hurry up and find a way to send the elders back?"

Wen Qianyi reacted quickly and immediately understood Qiu Qingzi's meaning. She hurriedly fed the elders who were still making a fuss with calming and concentration pills, and the courtyard became much quieter.

Just as Wen Qianyi was about to send the elders back, Wen Bixuan waved her hand, glared at Qiu Qingzi, and said coldly, "Alright, I'll have someone come and send them back!"

"Thank you sister!"

Wen Qianyi quickly thanked them. She had been really worried for the elders, but before she could relax, Lin Ran, who had been sleeping soundly by the pool, suddenly mumbled, "Mengqing... Qianyi, I want you..."

You're going to die, senior!

Wen Qianyi's heart jumped again. Without thinking, she rushed to Lin Ran's side and stuffed a pill into Lin Ran's mouth. After swallowing the pill, Lin Ran's breathing became calm.

This relieved Wen Qianyi slightly. She looked at Qiu Qingzi and Wen Bixuan and said, "Sister, Sister Qiu, I'll take the senior back!"

Wen Bixuan glanced at Wen Qianyi, said nothing, and simply nodded to indicate that she agreed.

As if granted a pardon, Wen Qianyi quickly helped her senior up, placing her arm around his shoulder, and walked past Wen Bixuan and Qiu Qingzi.

After the two figures disappeared, Qiu Qingzi glanced at Wen Bixuan and tentatively said, "Meng Qing? You're not talking about Shangguan Meng Qing from the Sword Sect, are you? She's related to Lin Ran..."

It's not that Qiu Qingzi is saying this, but the two of them are really far apart in status. One is a minor clan leader in the Liezhou Small Dynasty, while the other is a behemoth in the Central Region Heart State. But what makes Qiu Qingzi even more curious is why Lin Ran called out in her sleep, "Meng Qing, why did you bring Qian Yi along again? What do you need two people for?"

Qiu Qingzi's heart was ablaze with gossip. She was quite shrewd; although Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing couldn't possibly have any connection, she could with Qianyi!

Everyone knows that Wen Bixuan's favorite person is her younger sister Wen Qianyi. Although Wen Bixuan tacitly approves of Wen Qianyi and Lin Ran being together, if Lin Ran is fickle, can Wen Bixuan still tolerate it?

Why are you calling out Shangguan Mengqing's name in your sleep? Are you fantasizing about doing something with Shangguan Mengqing, and even wanting to enjoy the bliss of having two women at once? Do you want Wen Qianyi and Shangguan Mengqing to serve you together?

Qiu Qingzi knows this all too well. Over the years, she has dealt with many men, and frankly, men are only after that one thing.

She had heard of Shangguan Mengqing; she was said to be an absolute beauty, unforgettable to anyone who had ever seen her.

And since their Linghua Academy is cooperating with the Sword Sect to enter the secret realm this time, Lin Ran will definitely have a chance to meet them. She even dreamed of Shangguan Mengqing and Wen Qianyi together. She admired Lin Ran for her beautiful imagination, but unfortunately, someone overheard her.

Qiu Qingzi was increasingly looking forward to Wen Bixuan's reaction, but Wen Bixuan's expression remained cold, though it seemed to carry a hint of murderous intent, which seemed to be directed at her.

Wen Bixuan turned around and looked at Qiu Qingzi kindly, saying in a clear and distinct voice, "Qiu Qingzi, I've noticed that you seem to have been a bit too impulsive lately. Clean up the mess here, and wait for me at the back mountain in a few days. I'll challenge you to a duel; your skills should have improved by now!"

After saying that, Wen Bixuan patted Qiu Qingzi's shoulder, then turned around, put her hands behind her back, and left the courtyard, leaving Qiu Qingzi alone at the gate, feeling sad and heartbroken.

"Damn it, I got so caught up in the excitement!"

……

Wen Qianyi helped Lin Ran back to the courtyard where Lin Ran lived in Linghua Academy. She went to Lin Ran's bedroom, put Lin Ran on a stool and let her lean against the table. Then she started to clean Lin Ran's bedroom, since it had been a long time since she had been back and there was a lot of dust inside.

After tidying up the bedroom, Wen Qianyi began to wipe Lin Ran's body and change her into clean clothes, so that her senior wouldn't have to lie in bed reeking of alcohol, which was quite unpleasant.

Of course, wiping her body was a big challenge for Wen Qianyi. She felt her face was constantly burning hot, and when she wiped certain areas, her heart raced and her mind went blank.

In the end, she was only able to complete the task smoothly after taking a calming pill that she had previously prepared in large quantities for Shangguan Mengqing.

After changing Lin Ran's clothes and covering her with a blanket, Wen Qianyi finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Wiping the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, she angrily punched Lin Ran and said, "You stinky senior, you can't drink anymore. You're lying here comfortably, but I'll have to go back and get scolded later."

God knows, when she heard Lin Ran call out "Meng Qing" in front of her sister and Sister Qiu tonight, she felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat. Although her sister didn't expose her, she would definitely question her when they got back.

Wen Qianyi prepared some tea for Lin Ran and placed it on the table. After writing a note, she quietly left.

When Wen Qianyi returned to her courtyard, she looked at the tightly closed gate and decided to sneak over the wall near her room. That way, she could retreat to her room and find an excuse to leave when her sister came.

A perfect plan!

Wen Qianyi touched the courtyard wall and easily climbed over the high wall, arriving directly at her room window. She used her spiritual power to open the window, then slipped into her room and gently closed the window with a "snap".

Wen Qianyi finally breathed a sigh of relief after doing all this. She never expected that she would have to act like a thief when she returned to her own home.

She was about to light the candles when, unexpectedly, the candles on the table lit up by themselves. Her sister was sitting there, and the somewhat eerie scene left her speechless, her mouth agape.

"Qianyi!"

Wen Bixuan suddenly said coldly, "When did you learn these things? Why don't you use the proper front door and instead climb over the wall to get back to your own home? Are you that afraid of your older sister?"

"No... I was just afraid of disturbing my sister..." Wen Qianyi said, and even she herself felt that the reason she gave was quite absurd, and she was sure she would be scolded.

As expected, Wen Bixuan's voice suddenly rose a few octaves, her icy gaze fixed on Wen Qianyi, as if suppressing her anger as she said, "Fine, Qianyi, it seems you've learned to lie on this trip to the secret realm. How wonderful!"

"I'm sorry, sister, I..."

Wen Qianyi lowered her head, not even daring to look at her sister. Perhaps she was not as afraid as she was of her sister when facing a powerful enemy.

Her elder sister was like a mother to her, and she was basically raised by her sister. Even now, with the strength of the eighth star of the Nirvana Realm, she is still as frightened and helpless as a child when she sees her sister get angry.

Seeing Wen Qianyi like this, Wen Bixuan felt a little sorry for her. She shook her head and said, "Come and sit down!"

"it is good!"

Wen Qianyi obediently sat down, but chose a seat furthest away from Wen Bixuan.

"Sit over here!" Wen Bixuan frowned and said again.

Wen Qianyi then got up and sat down next to Wen Bixuan.

Looking at Qianyi, who was cowering like a quail, Wen Bixuan was both angry and amused. She reached out and ruffled Wen Qianyi's hair, her voice softening slightly: "Can we sisters just talk about some private things and not involve anything else?"

"Really?" Wen Qianyi looked up at her sister.

Wen Bixuan nodded, then gestured for Wen Qianyi to sit closer and began whispering to her.

This whispering segment was a way for Wen Bixuan to connect with her sister in bed after a busy day, lying down together.

Even though they are sisters, the relationship between them still needs to be maintained. However, she was busy with cultivation and Linghua Academy, and gradually neglected Qianyi. Today, she can take this opportunity to rekindle this little bond.

Without any specific goal, they chatted about whatever came to mind, even touching on some girls' private conversations. Despite Wen Bixuan's cold demeanor, she was certainly aware of the things she needed to know. Suddenly, she asked, "Qianyi, have you ever... done that with your senior?"

Wen Qianyi's face flushed bright red instantly. A series of images flashed through her mind, and after a long pause, she shyly said, "Not yet..."

Hearing this, Wen Bixuan breathed a sigh of relief. Qianyi had listened to her teachings. What if Qianyi had foolishly given everything away and then been abandoned by someone later?

Lin Ran would dream about any pretty girl she saw. She was already reluctant for Qian Yi to be with Lin Ran, but if it weren't for the girl being so stubborn, and her fear that Qian Yi would eventually disown her as her sister, she wouldn't have turned a blind eye.

Now that she knows about Lin Ran's womanizing ways, she will never let Qianyi and Lin Ran be together.

But she couldn't intervene directly, nor could she speak frankly.

This girl has learned to lie and be cunning now. If she were to be any stricter, she would probably turn against her older sister. So she can only secretly interfere with the two of them.

Wen Bixuan casually said a few words, then steered the conversation to the secret realm. When asked why Wen Qianyi's strength had improved so quickly, she continued, "Qianyi, why did the seal inside your body break? Did you do it yourself? Do you know what that means?"

This is actually the real question Wen Bixuan wanted to ask tonight: why did the seal that sealed the demonic power within Wen Qianyi break?

This is really concerning for Qianyi's health!

……

3. The sealing pills given by Fan Hua

Wen Qianyi herself didn't expect that the question her sister really wanted to ask tonight was actually this one, but it made her feel relieved. At least this question was much better than answering "why Lin Ran calls out Meng Qing's name in her sleep".

"Sister, I'm fine. In this secret realm, I met an ancient powerhouse. She said that the power within me is actually..." Wen Qianyi slowly recounted the whole story of what she experienced in the secret realm to Wen Bixuan, omitting some things that were not suitable to talk about.

Let me sort this out…

After Wen Qianyi finished speaking, Wen Bixuan was clearly incredulous at what she had just said. She closed her eyes, propped her slightly tilted head up with her right hand, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing her sister like this, Wen Qianyi didn't disturb her. However, the waiting process was always agonizing. The room was so quiet that it was as if a pin drop could be heard. Even the slightest sound could be amplified infinitely. In such an environment, time seemed to pass by far too slowly.

After a long while, Wen Bixuan opened her eyes. Her clear, cool eyes looked at Wen Qianyi with a hint of tenderness. She reached out and smoothed Wen Qianyi's hair, saying, "You must be very happy when you know the truth, right?"

"At least... it's much more acceptable than interbreeding with snake people..."
