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

Seeing Mu Shishuang's reaction, Wen Qianyi picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and slowly said, "You just tried to kill me?"

Mu Shishuang remained silent, which only confirmed Wen Qianyi's suspicions. She crossed her legs, leaned against the table, and twirled the empty teacup in her hand. Suddenly, she crushed the teacup into powder and said in an icy voice, "It seems that what you said, senior, was right. Your killing intent is too strong. I only know your identity as a member of the Spirit Clan, yet you still have murderous intent towards me. I regret saving you a little!"

"I see little remorse in you. People like you deserve to go to hell. It would have been much simpler if you had just died from the fire poison back then."

Wen Qianyi felt that the senior was really too prescient. The Ghostly Vengeance Pill was really well made. Just talking to this woman made her feel an uncontrollable anger. The senior had been tortured like this before, and he was able to endure not killing this woman. It was really thanks to her being the sister-in-law.

Without elixirs, releasing a woman whose strength far surpasses theirs is no different than releasing a demon king.

"You can kill me now, someone who deserves to go to hell."

Mu Shishuang pulled back the last bit of blanket, pointed to her chest, which resembled a bamboo shoot, and gestured, "All you need to do is take an ordinary knife, infuse it with spiritual power, and stab me, and I'll die. Simple, right? Try it!"

Her tone was very calm, but the content of her words and her actions were completely opposite to this calmness. Wen Qianyi had never encountered a madman before, but today she had met one, and not just any ordinary madman. Behind that calmness was a kind of hysterical madness.

To be honest, Qianyi felt she couldn't handle this woman and might need to ask a senior colleague for help.

But she was also a woman, and she felt a bit angry and needed to vent, so…

"bump!"

The guest room door was slammed shut. Wen Qianyi left the room with a light step, and when she looked at the bed in the guest room, she saw a very comical scene. Mu Shishuang was tied up comfortably on the bed, with a towel stuffed in her mouth, making her only able to whimper. She was half covered by a thin blanket.

Whether it was Qianyi's intention or unintentional, the window of the guest room was wide open, and a number of small insects squeezed into the room, their mouths wide open, sharpening their knives as if they were about to attack Mu Shishuang.

Although these are not punishments, they are sometimes more effective than punishments.

……

In a training arena in the inner courtyard, Lin Ran, who was on the viewing platform, frowned after listening to Wen Qianyi's words. She leaned back against the stone bench and said, "Actually, that crazy girl is quite pitiful. She used to have a good personality, but it seems that because of my relationship with her sister, she started to resent me and became like this."

He finally understood why Mu Shishuang, who was originally a pure and innocent girl in the novel, had turned into this crazy and ruthless person. This girl was definitely a sister-complex, and her sister was punished because of him, so she held a grudge against him.

Wen Qianyi looked down at her wobbling legs and said, "Senior, do you have a way to correct her? Since she's been like this, it's inconvenient for you to ask about Sister Mu Qiqin."

"This is tricky!"

Seeing the sudden commotion at the arena in the training ground, Lin Ran stood up and shouted, "Malicious provocation is prohibited in the arena training ground! If you continue like this, I'll give you all a disciplinary warning!"

Lin Ran's roar silenced the training ground instantly.

The training ground, which was originally packed with people, suddenly became deserted, and the two people on the platform were revealed. One was a boy, while the girl opposite him was quite special. She had long silver hair that reached her waist, a beautiful face, a tall and slender figure, and an extremely cold temperament that gave her a sense of asceticism.

After everyone was scared away by Lin Ran's words, there weren't many people left on the training ground. The boy, his face flushed, looked at the silver-haired girl and said excitedly, "Yuemei, can't you really see my true feelings? I really like you!"

The silver-haired girl, who was picking up a hairpin to tie her waist-length hair up in a bun, paused when she heard the boy's words. She glanced at him coldly and said, "So... this is how you express your true feelings?"

"what?"

"You invited those people, didn't you?"

The silver-haired girl continued, "I consider you a friend, but what have you been doing at the academy? You've been going around telling everyone I'm your woman, saying we're already together. What's the point of doing that?"

"I...I didn't!"

The boy was already drenched in sweat, and he tried to salvage the situation: "Yueming, it was just those guys being nosy. I've always tried to stop them. My feelings for you are absolutely genuine!"

"Just take care of yourself!"

After tying her hair up, the silver-haired girl, known as Yuemei, didn't even glance at the boy. She went straight to Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi and said very respectfully, "Vice Dean Lin, Elder Wen, greetings!"

Hello, Yuemei!

Lin Ran greeted them with a smile, then pulled Wen Qianyi aside and said, "I have my eye on a promising talent, Fu Yuemei. Qianyi, do you remember her?"

"Um... I'm sorry, I might not remember!"

When Lin Ran asked Wen Qianyi that question, her brain suddenly went blank, and a blush rose on her pretty face as she felt a little embarrassed.

"You're much busier than me, it's normal that you don't remember!"

Lin Ran laughed heartily, "When I first entered the academy, you and I solved a very serious bullying incident. This girl is the one who stood up for her classmate. She even got second place in the inner academy selection competition. Remember her?"

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, Wen Qianyi suddenly recalled those scenes. With an apologetic smile, she took Fu Yuemei's hand and said, "My memory isn't as good as yours, senior. I can't recall you for a moment!"

"No, no, I'm just an ordinary nobody!"

The girl, who had been cold and aloof when she rejected the boy, became unusually shy and reserved when facing Wen Qianyi and Lin Ran. In fact, when she heard that Lin Ran not only remembered her name but also her ranking in the inner court selection competition, her heart felt as sweet as if it had been filled with honey.

"After you rejected him, that kid slunk away?"

Lin Ran glanced at the arena and, finding the boy gone, said to Fu Yuemei, "Child, as your elder and teacher, I'm telling you, don't be easily fooled by these bad boys. I'm still waiting for you to cultivate diligently and bring glory to the academy!"

"Yuemei, don't listen to what this guy is saying!"

Wen Qianyi glared at Lin Ran and said earnestly, "Of course, you can talk about matters between men and women, and matters of the heart. This is also a kind of training for your mindset, life experience, and ability to judge people. Just don't slack off in your training. If you listen to what this guy says, you will miss out on a lot of things."

"Okay, thank you for your kind guidance, Vice Dean Lin and Elder Wen!"

Fu Yuemei bowed respectfully to Lin Ran and the other person and said, "Yuemei will definitely keep this in mind and will strive to bring glory to the academy in the future!"

"Good girl!"

Lin Ran stood up, smiled, patted Fu Yuemei on the shoulder, and instructed, "Try to get a good ranking in this qualifying round. There will be a prize from the teacher!"

Hearing Lin Ran's words, Fu Yuemei's eyes curved into crescents with a smile, and she shouted in a firm and powerful voice, "I will definitely complete the mission!"

"Shh!"

Lin Ran made a gesture and teased, "I'm giving you special tutoring, why are you shouting like that!"

“Ah…Oh!”

Fu Yuemei belatedly covered her mouth tightly with her hand, a scene that made Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi laugh.

Immediately afterward, Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi bid farewell to Fu Yuemei and left together. As Fu Yuemei watched their figures, her eyes shone brightly. Her hands, which had been hanging down, clenched into fists, and she said firmly, "I must win first place in this qualifying round and follow in Vice Dean Lin's footsteps!"

After saying goodbye to Fu Yuemei, Lin Ran and her companion headed towards Linghua City to find food.

On the way, Wen Qianyi suddenly asked, "Do you think highly of that girl?"

Lin Ran asked, "Hmm, are you talking about Fu Yuemei?"

Wen Qianyi rolled her eyes at Lin Ran and said coquettishly, "Who else could it be!"

"That girl has a lot of potential!"

Lin Ran recalled the Flower Sect inheritance she possessed, the scenes of watching Fu Yuemei fight during this time, and after inquiring with the teachers who had taught Fu Yuemei and personally interacting with her, Lin Ran felt more and more that handing over the Flower Sect inheritance to Fu Yuemei might really allow this child to carry it forward.

“How come you see?”

Wen Qianyi didn't quite understand Lin Ran's high regard for Fu Yuemei. Although that girl's talent was good, and she was already at the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm at the age of just over twenty, which would make her an outstanding student in Linghua Academy, she was not good enough for the entire academy. Even with the help of pills, it would be difficult for her to reach the Spirit Pill Realm before the Continental Academy Competition!

"We'll see then. Trust me, this girl will definitely become the leader of the younger generation at Linghua Academy!" Lin Ran said with a confident smile.

Seeing her senior so confident, Wen Qianyi didn't say much. She would just wait and see. She liked her senior the most. She felt that in this state, her senior could solve anything and bring miracles!

……

81. Heart-to-heart talk

Yesterday, when Qianyi told Lin Ran that Mu Shishuang had woken up, Lin Ran didn't want to face it either, mainly because the woman was acting strangely and it was difficult to talk to her.

But he really wanted to know about Qiqin, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and face it.

Because Qianyi had something to do with the alchemy department, Lin Ran would have to face this crazy woman alone today.

In the courtyard in front of the guest room, Lin Ran hesitated for a while, looking at the tightly closed wooden door as if she saw the gates of hell ahead, and there would be no way back once she stepped in.

"Sigh, we have to face it eventually!"

Lin Ran looked up at the sky, exhaled a breath of stale air, and strode to the tightly closed door, then suddenly pushed it open.

"bump!"

Due to the excessive force, the wooden door slammed against the wooden frames on both sides, making a somewhat muffled and low sound.

Lin Ran walked into the room and looked towards the bedroom. The room was quiet, as if no one was there.

A few more questions arose in his mind. He slowly walked into the bedroom, his gaze following his steps to the bed. When he saw the scene on the bed, Lin Ran couldn't help but show his expression.

He covered his face with his hand, his expression twitching slightly, but laughter still managed to escape through his fingers.

"Hahaha, Mu Shishuang, you've finally met your match!"

Lin Ran's words revealed a hint of smugness. Yesterday, he had only heard Qianyi say that he had given this crazy woman a small punishment.

At first, Lin Ran thought that Qianyi had just beaten up the crazy woman, but then she thought that Qianyi wouldn't do such a thing.

But to Lin Ran's complete surprise, Qianyi opened the window and let all sorts of mosquitoes in.

The Nine Provinces Continent also has annoying mosquitoes, and they've even evolved. While their bites don't cause much damage to martial artists, the intense itching they inflict can be incredibly irritating and infuriating.

When Lin Ran entered and saw Mu Shishuang, who looked almost "swollen," her smile became even brighter.

I also give a thumbs up to his good sister Wen Qianyi in my heart. Please give more of this kind of thing that is not very harmful but extremely insulting.

"What's so funny?!"

Lying on the bed, Mu Shishuang turned her head and shouted coldly, trying to suppress the shame in her heart. Before Lin Ran entered the bedroom, she had been wriggling like a pathetic maggot to relieve the itching on her skin.

As a result, Lin Ran witnessed this scene. For some reason, Mu Shishuang is now wondering why she wasn't allowed to be poisoned to death by the fire poison back then, but instead allowed to continue living.

"Pfft!"

Lin Ran shook her head, trying hard to suppress a smile, and said, "I was just thinking about something happy!"

"You're clearly laughing at me!" Mu Shishuang shouted angrily.

"You're still the same!"

Lin Ran shook her head. Mu Shishuang was still the same as ever. She would jump up and down as soon as she was talked to. If the sarcasm was too strong, she would kill someone again.

What I am is none of your business!

"Okay, okay, it's none of my business!"

Lin Ran responded indifferently. He went over and closed the window, then took out some ointment and placed it on the bedside table.

Looking at Mu Shishuang, who was bound hand and foot, Lin Ran teased, "Still itchy?"

Mu Shishuang didn't speak. Lin Ran glanced at her trembling body, her hands clenched into fists, the veins on her fair skin throbbing.

"He's gone completely mad..."
