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

Although she had seen it before, Lin Ran was still a little shocked to see this scene. Fortunately, Wen Qianyi had experience in dealing with it, and as soon as the liquid came out, it was chased away by the heavenly fire and burned to ashes.

Mu Shishuang's body trembled unconsciously, and she kept crying out in pain. Clearly, this forced detoxification process was unbearably painful.

After detoxifying for most of the day, Wen Qianyi stopped only when the medicinal liquid in the wooden tub was completely used up.

She took the towel Lin Ran handed her and wiped the fine beads of sweat from her face. She then pulled the strands of hair that were stuck to her forehead back and said, "Her fire poison has accumulated even deeper than before. It's almost as if the fire poison is about to merge with her body. Fortunately, we've started to expel the fire poison, otherwise, she might be crippled!"

Lin Ran's expression changed upon hearing Wen Qianyi's words. Looking at his sister-in-law, whose head was tilted to one side in the wooden tub, he sighed inwardly and asked, "Do we have to do this forced detoxification every few days?"

"No, this time we'll go all out!" Wen Qianyi shook her head and said.

"What ruthless move?" Lin Ran pressed.

Wen Qianyi held up one finger and said seriously, "Seven days. Spend seven days using this method every day to forcibly remove the fire poison from her body. That should remove more than half of it."

Upon hearing Wen Qianyi's move, Lin Ran instinctively exclaimed in surprise, "Is it that ruthless?"

He watched the detoxification process unfold. Even an unconscious person was trembling and screaming in pain throughout. It was hard to imagine how painful it would be if the person were conscious.

"This is the only way. Only by clearing away the deeply accumulated fire poison can her life be saved!"

As Wen Qianyi spoke, she began to wipe Mu Shishuang's body, then stuffed her back into the Undying God Coffin. Lin Ran also helped Wen Qianyi by transporting her back to the cultivation room.

However, as Lin Ran was about to close the coffin lid, she glanced at Mu Shishuang's face. Her face, which had been almost black before, had lost a significant amount of its blackness, and her original skin color was now visible.

He couldn't help but reach out and stroke Mu Shishuang's hair, pat her forehead, and murmured, "Mu Shishuang, if you could wake up, I really want to ask you why you did that back then!"

After saying this, Lin Ran shook her head, closed the coffin lid, and left the cultivation room.

After the cultivation room door was tightly closed, extinguishing the only source of light inside, Mu Shishuang's right hand, which lay quietly inside the coffin, seemed to twitch slightly...

……

79. What am I doing?

"Senior, the qualifying rounds for the academy's journey to the continent-wide academy competition will be held soon. How are your preparations going?"

While cleaning Mu Shishuang's accumulated toxins, Qianyi, who had some spare time, chatted with her senior colleague about recent events. She quite enjoyed this time.

Hearing this, Lin Ran, who was stretching in the room, casually said, "It's the same as always. We'll select the ten best students from the inner courtyard to represent us in the competition."

"Of course, I will give them some special training later, but the effect of the training still needs to be tested. I'm still refining the training plan to try to bring out their potential as much as possible."

“I’ve seen some guys who have the potential to break through to the Spirit Core Realm. If we can produce two or three students at the Spirit Core Realm, we’ll be able to keep up with the pace of Tianli Academy.”

Lin Ran wasn't just slacking off at his work at Linghua Academy; he wanted to do big things. If Linghua Academy could connect with the Li Dynasty, since both sides were his territory, they could complement each other's strengths and there would be plenty of opportunities for them in the future.

After listening to Lin Ran's words, Wen Qianyi took out a pill and fed it to Mu Shishuang. Then she continued to stimulate the medicinal liquid in the wooden tub, and softly replied, "Senior, keep it up! I feel more and more that letting you come to Linghua Academy was the best decision ever!"

"If you hadn't come to Linghua Academy back then, perhaps... Linghua Academy wouldn't be thriving like it is today, but would instead be declining?"

In her spare time, Wen Qianyi would often let her mind wander. What would it have been like if her senior hadn't come to Linghua Academy? She would think about it over and over again, and images would flash through her mind. But without exception, they all depicted Linghua Academy sliding downhill all the way to the bottom and never being able to get back up.

"Is it really that bad? Even without me, Linghua Academy won't decline. Qiu Qingzi is doing a pretty good job; she's just sometimes hesitant to make bold decisions!"

Lin Ran smiled when he heard Wen Qianyi's words. He remembered that in the original novel, Linghua Academy actually developed quite well in the end.

Although the description is not extensive, at least after his son became the emperor, Linghua Academy was not removed from the list of the five major academies, and continued to climb up the ranks, which shows that it was doing quite well!

When Wen Qianyi heard Lin Ran's evaluation of Qiu Qingzi, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "If Sister Qiu heard you say that about her, she would definitely want to beat you up, right?"

"Hey, she can't beat me!" Lin Ran said confidently.

Qiu Qingzi is now absolutely at the bottom of the food chain within the upper echelons of Linghua Academy. Qianyi is stronger than her, not to mention Lin Ran, who is the number one fighter in Linghua Academy under Wen Bixuan.

The cleanup of accumulated fire toxins today was completed in the late afternoon. After this cleanup, tomorrow will be the last day of this fire toxin removal plan.

Mu Shishuang no longer has the dark, charcoal-like skin. Although there is still a lot of fire toxins accumulating in her body, her skin is now fair with large patches of flush, making her look quite alluring.

Wen Qianyi grabbed Mu Shishuang's right hand, checked her pulse, and then listened to her heartbeat by bringing her close to her chest. Suddenly, she said to Lin Ran, "Senior, I think it's time to give her the pill!"

"Oh, really?"

Lin Ran rushed to Wen Qianyi's side, looking at Mu Shishuang who was still half-dead in the wooden tub, and said uncertainly, "Will feeding her like this really not cause any problems?"

"probably not!"

Wen Qianyi shook her head, stretched out her small hand to Lin Ran, and said, "Senior, give me the pill!"

"it is good!"

Lin Ran quickly found the jade box in her spatial ring and handed it to Wen Qianyi.

Wen Qianyi took the jade box, took a step or two back, and opened it. Inside, two pills lay quietly, emitting a rich fragrance. Upon closer inspection, one could see that one of the pills was entirely purple with patterns on it, and it was faintly glowing.

The other one was brownish-red and looked unremarkable, but the two pills seemed to be in a state of mutual resistance yet also merging.

Wen Qianyi took the purple pill and rushed to the wooden tub. She pried open Mu Shishuang's mouth, but for some reason, it was particularly difficult this time. A glint flashed in her eyes, and she specially called Lin Ran over. The two of them worked together to stuff the pill into Mu Shishuang's mouth, and even used their spiritual power to make her swallow it.

After taking the pill, Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi both stepped back a few steps, watching closely the changes in Mu Shishuang's body. Suddenly, a dazzling purple light shone on Mu Shishuang's body, followed by dense runes that swirled around her like a ring, gradually shrinking and then merging into her body.

"what!"

One painful howl after another rang out while Mu Shishuang was unconscious, lasting for about half a minute before finally subsiding.

Wen Qianyi returned the jade box to Lin Ran and said through spiritual power, "Senior, please keep this safe. It contains the antidote!"

After saying that, Wen Qianyi came to the wooden tub, took Mu Shishuang's right hand, checked her condition, and after a while, said, "Senior, she's fine, just a little weak. I'll give her some tonic pills to strengthen her body!"

"After feeding it, should we send it back to the Coffin of the Undying God?" Lin Ran asked, putting the jade box away.

"No need for that trouble. She probably can't stand that cold coffin anymore. Let's take her to the guest room!" Wen Qianyi said with a smile.

Lin Ran didn't know why Wen Qianyi didn't ask for his help this time. Wen Qianyi took Mu Shishuang to the guest room by herself, while he cleaned up the trash in the room.

Wen Qianyi wrapped herself in a blanket and went to the guest room. After throwing Mu Shishuang onto the bed, she stood aside with her arms crossed, calmly looking at Mu Shishuang on the bed, and said, "You're awake now, so stop pretending to be unconscious!"

"When did you find out...?"

Mu Shishuang, who should have been unconscious, slowly opened her eyes. She sat up from the bed, her wet hair casually draped over her shoulders. She was only wrapped in a blanket, revealing half of her fair shoulder and delicate collarbone, which was quite alluring. Her eyes, as deep as a dark well, were fixed on Wen Qianyi.

"A day or two ago!"

Wen Qianyi pulled up a chair, sat down, picked up a teacup, poured tea, and said, "I've been watching your health for a long time, and I'll notice any subtle changes."

"I have used such a powerful method to clear away the accumulated fire poison. Logically speaking, with your strength, you should have woken up, but you have not yet woken up, which makes me very puzzled."

"Now it seems you were just pretending to be unconscious. No wonder you resisted so fiercely when I tried to give you the medicine!"

Wen Qianyi picked up a cup of warm tea, handed it to Mu Shishuang, and asked, "Would you like some?"

"drink!"

Mu Shishuang responded and took the tea, sipping it slowly.

Mu Shishuang's calmness was somewhat unexpected for Wen Qianyi. She had heard from her senior that Mu Shishuang's sister-in-law hated her senior to the extreme, but her current appearance did not seem to be as crazy as her senior had described.

"Thank you!"

After finishing her tea, Mu Shishuang handed the teacup back to Wen Qianyi and thanked her very politely.

This puzzled Wen Qianyi even more, and she suddenly asked, "Why did you pretend to be unconscious?"

"Because... I can't face Lin... Lin Ran right now..."

Mu Shishuang lowered her head, her long hair obscuring her face.

"Did you ever have murderous intentions towards your senior?" Wen Qianyi continued to ask.

Upon hearing this, Mu Shishuang raised her head, her calm eyes looking at Wen Qianyi, and said, "To be precise, it's more than just murderous intent..."

"What is that?" Wen Qianyi asked, somewhat confused.

"I've already killed him once, but... I brought him back to life..."

Mu Shishuang recalled her past self, and a strange smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

Wen Qianyi felt a chill run down her spine at that smile. Before she could speak, Mu Shishuang continued, "I tormented Lin Ran for a long time back then, threatening him with his son and his loved ones."

"Torture him in every way imaginable, torture his soul, his body, even let him escape, then catch him and continue to torture him... Perhaps you haven't seen Lin Ran go crazy? But I have!"

"..."

Wen Qianyi didn't speak, but her heart was pounding. Listening to Mu Shishuang's confession, which sounded like a criminal confessing to his crime, sent chills down her spine. She suddenly realized why her senior always had an inexplicable feeling when facing this woman.

If it were her, even if this woman saved her, she would still kill her!

"You're crazy!"

Wen Qianyi gave a cold shout.

"I am indeed a madman, and I don't deny that."

Mu Shishuang smiled and shook her head. She looked down at her hands, which had been soaked in the medicinal solution until they were white and peeling, and said to herself, "At the moment of killing Lin Ran, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart, as if my heart had been hollowed out."

"I realized that I've hated Lin Ran for so many years, hated her for taking my sister away, ruining her life, and destroying my life. But I've discovered that what I hate about Lin Ran seems completely meaningless..."

"Because Lin Ran didn't do anything wrong. I saw it in his memories. He didn't actually know his sister's identity. She even saved his sister from the brink of death, and that's how they fell in love. I never understood why my sister would fall in love with such an ordinary person, but at that moment I understood..."

"But I realized it a little too late. I decided to use my life to salvage everything, but it seems I failed... If it weren't for Lin Ran, I might have died long ago. What exactly have I been doing all this time?"

.......

80. I admire confident seniors the most!

Lin Ran's voice rang out from outside the room at just the right moment: "Qianyi, is there anything I can help you with?"

Wen Qianyi was startled. She looked towards the door and saw Lin Ran's figure swaying there. She then turned back to Mu Shishuang and suddenly called out, "Senior, there's no need for now. You can go back and attend to other matters. I'll check on her condition again!"

"Ah... okay!"

Standing at the door, Lin Ran scratched his head with some regret after hearing Qianyi's response. He had wanted to take Qianyi out for a meal, but now he could only go to the inner courtyard to see if there were any talents worth discovering.

As Lin Ran's footsteps faded into the distance, Mu Shishuang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, suddenly looked up at Wen Qianyi, her quiet eyes filled with doubt: "Why...why didn't you call Lin Ran over?"

"Why did you call him over? Do you want to see the way you are now?" Wen Qianyi rolled her eyes at Mu Shishuang and said irritably.

Mu Shishuang glanced down at herself, a small piece of blanket covering her body barely concealing her exposed skin. She shook her head indifferently and said, "I've seen and touched everything, is there a problem?"

Wen Qianyi was speechless for a moment. Mu Shishuang's thought process was a bit hard for her to understand. After a while, she finally retorted, "Are all women of the Spirit Clan like this?"

"Hmm? He even told you this... It seems your relationship isn't simple. You really have the nerve to seduce someone else's husband..."

A flash of azure light appeared in Mu Shishuang's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by the purple light. She subconsciously let out a cry of pain: "Ah!"
