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

Lin Ran accompanied Wen Bixuan into the hall. On Wen Bixuan's other side, Wen Qianyi held her sister's hand, while Qiu Qingzi had to lag behind.

Upon seeing the most outstanding individuals in the academy, Fu Yuemei and the others immediately stood up and greeted them in unison.

"Everyone, sit down!"

Wen Bixuan nodded and asked the children to sit down. She sat at the head of the table, glanced around at the ten students representing Linghua Academy in the competition, and began a pre-competition speech.

This wasn't something Wen Bixuan was very good at, so she temporarily sought advice from Lin Ran and Qiu Qingzi and wrote a draft. According to a report from one of Lin Ran's informants, Wen Bixuan memorized it very carefully, scrutinizing every word.

The speech was indeed very effective. Fu Yuemei and the other children were all incredibly enthusiastic, taking "restoring the glory of Linghua Academy" as their mission.

Lin Ran got goosebumps listening to Wen Bixuan's speech. She felt that Wen Bixuan's speech had the flavor of a pyramid scheme boss. Dean, were you in this line of work in your past life?

As soon as the speech ended, everyone buried their heads in the dishes on the table, praising Lin Ran one after another, making Lin Ran smile from ear to ear all night long.

However, when the banquet was more than halfway through, Wen Bixuan prepared to leave. Before leaving, she called Lin Ran. After these two most imposing figures left, the atmosphere at the banquet immediately relaxed a lot, and Xiao Zhuang, Chi Sinian and others dared to speak a little louder.

"What does your sister want with Lin Ran?"

Qiu Qingzi took a bite of ice cream, leaned close to Wen Qianyi, and asked in a low voice.

"My sister said that if there's anything I need to tell Lin Ran, I have to keep it from her!" Wen Qianyi pouted and complained like a child.

But in reality, Wen Qianyi didn't harbor any resentment. She was just being playful. Both sides were her closest and most beloved people. She loved them so much that she wouldn't get angry over such a small thing.

"When Lin Ran comes back, the two of you can crawl back into bed. Use the little tricks I taught you, and Lin Ran will be completely at your mercy!"

Qiu Qingzi breathed hot air into Wen Qianyi's ear, her tone sly and cheeky.

Upon hearing this, Wen Qianyi's face quickly flushed a light pink, and her ears burned intensely. She gave Qiu Qingzi a coquettish glare and whispered, "Are you kidding me, Sister Qiu? There are so many students here, how dare you say such things!"

"Hey, what's the big deal? They're having a great time eating!"

Qiu Qingzi laughed happily. She crossed her legs and couldn't help but scoop out more snow-white ice cream with her spoon. When the sweet taste bloomed on her tongue, she felt even more pleased. If she couldn't control Wen Bixuan and Lin Ran, could she not control Qianyi?

……

At the entrance to the back mountain, Wen Bixuan stood on a wide platform with her hands behind her back, looking down at the brightly lit inner courtyard not far away.

A moment later, a whooshing sound rang out, and Lin Ran landed on the platform. Looking at Wen Bixuan's back, he couldn't help but say, "Dean, is there something you want to tell me?"

“Given your relationship with Qianyi, you don’t need to address me so formally!” Wen Bixuan said.

Judging from the way Wen Qianyi is now completely devoted to Lin Ran, she knows that her silly younger sister can't live without Lin Ran anymore. Moreover, although Lin Ran is a bit older, he hasn't done anything disappointing. Let's see when they're willing to have a wedding and become husband and wife.

If we don't call him Dean, what can we call him?

A question suddenly popped into Lin Ran's mind: would calling him Bixuan be too intimate? Calling him Sister Bixuan? But he seemed to be older than Wen Bixuan. Should she just call him by his full name? That wouldn't be much better than calling him Dean!

"My sister-in-law?"

Lin Ran thought of a name and blurted it out immediately.

Upon hearing this, Wen Bixuan turned around and stared at Lin Ran, startling Lin Ran into quickly calling out, "Sister Bixuan, Sister Bixuan!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Bixuan withdrew her murderous gaze. With her back to Lin Ran, a rare hint of shyness appeared on her face. The idea of ​​her being a sister-in-law was still too advanced for her.

After the awkward silence passed and a few pleasantries were exchanged, Wen Bixuan got straight to the point: "I've basically learned about the situation of this academy competition. I won't have too high expectations for you. Just make sure those children protect themselves and come back alive. That would be a victory!"

“Sister Bixuan, that’s what I think too. After all, the gap between us and the top forces is still too big!” Lin Ran said very directly.

He wouldn't shy away from saying these things just because Wen Bixuan was the dean. Compared to other forces participating in this competition, Linghua Academy was only at a mid-to-high level. All he had been training them for was to improve their survival skills.

"I have nothing else to say. You will do even better than I asked!"

Wen Bixuan walked to the wooden railing of the platform, pointed to the brightly lit inner courtyard in front of her, and asked Lin Ran, "Lin Ran, when do you think... when will the students of our Linghua Academy be able to surpass the top academies of Canglong and Shengqiong?"

"I believe... that day isn't too far off, maybe it will come in a few more competitions!" Lin Ran said with a smile.

If Linghua Academy had already been able to recruit male students when Xiao Chong joined, and Xiao Chong had joined, then Linghua Academy would have taken off immediately that year, surpassing Canglong and Shengqiong. But that's just a hypothetical scenario…

Hearing Lin Ran's words, Wen Bixuan smiled faintly. She turned back to look at the inner courtyard in the night. She hoped she could witness Lin Ran's words while she was still alive, believing that even if she were no longer alive, she would have the face to tell the old headmaster:

"Dean, our Linghua Academy has crushed Canglong and Shengqiong, and returned to its peak!"

……

104. About to depart

In Lin Ran's bedroom, on the soft couch, Wen Qianyi knelt obediently to the side, bending down to massage Lin Ran who was lying on the bed. Her nimble little hands moved constantly, and the pressure made Lin Ran let out a very subtle cry.

"Ah, that feels so good! It's all thanks to Qianyi's amazing technique!"

Hearing Lin Ran's praise, Wen Qianyi blushed slightly, patted Lin Ran's head lightly, and said somewhat angrily, "Don't make such strange noises!"

"I learned this from you, Qianyi!"

As soon as Lin Ran finished speaking, everything went black. He was covered with a pillow, and then countless small fists pounded on his head, causing Lin Ran to cry out in pain. He hurriedly begged for mercy: "Heroine Qianyi, I was wrong, please spare my life!"

"You really know you were wrong?"

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, Wen Qianyi relaxed her movements. Although she hadn't used her spiritual power, she was still afraid that she might accidentally bump into Lin Ran, which would break her heart.

"Of course... no!"

As soon as a sliver of light appeared, Lin Ran pounced on Wen Qianyi like a hungry tiger, startling Wen Qianyi into exclaiming, "You stinky senior, what are you doing!"

"literal meaning!"

Lin Ran said in a cheeky tone, like a hungry wolf that had spotted its prey, devouring Wen Qianyi, this little fat sheep, alive. But due to certain special reasons, the process of eating could only be imagined through association.

Once their rapid breathing had calmed down, Wen Qianyi, nestled in Lin Ran's arms, blushed and patted Lin Ran's chest, saying coquettishly, "You naughty senior, you always tease me like this, and you have so many weird ways to torment me. I hate you so much, senior!"

Wen Qianyi felt incredibly embarrassed whenever she thought about those scenes from earlier. If she could find a hole in the ground, she would want to crawl into it and hide.

Because of her bloodline, she couldn't engage in marital relations, but her senior had all sorts of strange methods. She didn't lose her innocence, but it seemed like she had lost most of it.

As she thought about it, Wen Qianyi suddenly said with a sob in her voice, "If you don't want me in the future, I really won't be able to face anyone and I'll never be able to get married!"

Startled, Lin Ran quickly sat up. Seeing Qianyi's misty eyes, with glistening tears welling up in the corners, Lin Ran felt a pang of heartache. He immediately pulled Qianyi into his arms, gently patting her back, and softly said, "How could I not want you? On the contrary, you should be worried, senior. How could an old man like me be worthy of the affection of such a young and beautiful seventh-level alchemist like you?"

"Looking at you now, you're nowhere near the appearance of a decrepit old man!"

Wen Qianyi was amused by Lin Ran. She looked up, reached out and pinched Lin Ran's cheek, and said dreamily, "Even if you are an old man, you are still the most handsome old man in my heart."

"Am I still destined to be called an old man?" Lin Ran laughed.

"After all, you're more than twice my age!"

Wen Qianyi counted on her little hands and teased.

That little bit of sadness just vanished like smoke. A sunny day with white clouds may suddenly be hit by a storm, but after that, there will definitely be another sunny day, right?

The two were whispering to each other, and inevitably the conversation turned to Lin Ran leading the team out the next day.

Wen Qianyi said with some regret, "It's a pity that the academy's alchemy department has a lot of things to do this time, otherwise I could have gone with you, senior!"

"This time I'm just going there as an overseer, not to go in and participate in the secret realm!"

Lin Ran's only intention this time was to travel. She hoped to see Shangguan Mengqing, but Shangguan Mengqing probably wouldn't participate in such a disciple selection event. She would call her when she had time to ask about it. She missed that cold voice a little.

"The Sword Sect will be sending someone this time. Even if it's as a military commander, it'll probably be a carefree one, senior!"

Wen Qianyi snorted, and her sarcastic words made Lin Ran scratch her head awkwardly, saying, "I probably won't run into you, hahaha!"

"I'm so happy to have met her! I've met the fairy from the Sword Sect again. I'm amazing too, to share the same man as the fairy from the Sword Sect!"

Wen Qianyi seemed unwilling to let Lin Ran off the hook so easily. Her words, spoken at the level of a Yin-Yang master, made Lin Ran break out in a cold sweat.

Wen Qianyi leaned against Lin Ran's chest, listening to his heartbeat. Her free hand made a scissor gesture, slipped under the covers, and suddenly grabbed Lin Ran's sensitive spot. Hearing Lin Ran's heartbeat quicken, Qianyi giggled and said, "Are you scared, senior?"

Lin Ran: "..."

I'm so scared! How did Qianyi evolve into this too?!

"Hmph, it's good that you know fear!"

Wen Qianyi took her little hand out, pouting as she played with Lin Ran's hand: "As long as you have me in your heart, treat me well, and stop flirting with other women, Qianyi won't hurt you!"

"Okay, I believe Qianyi!"

Lin Ran smiled, but fear was creeping into her heart. There were still two left. What should she do? Yu Han was alright, but if Hong Jia knew what was going on, he would probably have already come to kill her.

As they chatted late into the night, Qianyi was thinking of washing up a bit, turning off the lights, and then sleeping with her favorite senior colleague. But Lin Ran suddenly spoke up, "There's something I forgot to discuss with you, Qianyi."

"Well, what's the matter?"

Wen Qianyi sat on the edge of the bed, wearing a thin coat. She was tying her hair up when she turned to look at Lin Ran and asked.

"Mu Shishuang came to see me today and asked if I could come with her to Qianzhou to take a look. She said she wanted to see it for herself. I was thinking of asking you, Qianyi, if I should bring her along?" Lin Ran was a little uneasy as he said this. He didn't want Qianyi to agree, but he was also afraid that she would.

Because no matter what happens, in the end he'll be the one facing this strange, crazy girl, and he'll be the one going to jail.

"The poem is mentioned twice?"

Wen Qianyi paused for a moment, but quickly recovered. After securing her hair with a hair tie, she stood up, leaving Lin Ran with a graceful silhouette. She casually said, "Senior, why don't you take her with you?"

"what?"

Lin Ran was taken aback. He quickly stepped forward and took Wen Qianyi's hand, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you so trusting of me, senior?"

"Well, that's because you two just can't spark any chemistry!" Wen Qianyi turned around and looked at Lin Ran.

The past life-and-death experience between the senior and Mu Shishuang has created an invisible barrier between them. The parties involved may not be able to see it clearly, but Wen Qianyi, as an observer, can see it clearly.

This barrier prevents them from developing any romantic relationship; even if they have any physical intimacy, they will not develop any romantic feelings for each other.

"Hey, Qianyi, how did you know?" Lin Ran asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Then it's up to you to figure it out, senior. Tomorrow I'll specifically tell Shi Shuang to keep an eye on you and make sure you don't get involved with any other women!" Wen Qianyi didn't explain to Lin Ran. She left Lin Ran with a dashing back view before going into the side room to wash up.

Lin Ran was left alone in the bedroom, sitting cross-legged on the empty bed. He kept thinking about why Qian Yi was so at ease letting him take Mu Shishuang with him. Even if he didn't like Mu Shishuang, this lecherous man hadn't said he didn't like her body. It was just that he was always restrained by his moral bottom line.

No matter how he thought about it, he still couldn't figure it out. But then again, his own attitude towards Mu Shishuang was very ambiguous, so how could he possibly understand it?

What is the final problem in solving your troubles?

Of course, I'd rather sleep soundly under the covers!

Lin Ran firmly believed that although a brief escape was shameful, it was the last resort to steal a moment of peace from the world!

When Wen Qianyi returned to the bedroom, drying her wet hair, Lin Ran was already snoring away on the bed, fast asleep without any sleeping posture.

Wen Qianyi frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed. She gently climbed onto Lin Ran's bed, slipped inside, and carefully lifted a corner of the quilt. Just as she was about to slip in, she found that the quilt was suddenly pulled up tightly, preventing her from getting in at all.
