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

Lin Ran carried the coffin and left through another passage in this small secret realm. Wen Qianyi did not expect that there was another passage in this secret realm. After wandering around, they emerged from a forest hidden by weeds and shrubs.

When Wen Qianyi saw this place, she felt it was quite familiar. Gazing into the distance, she could vaguely make out a city. She exclaimed in surprise, "Is this place really so close to the territory of Songling Academy?"

"Ok?"

Lin Ran looked at Wen Qianyi beside her, pointed to the city nestled among the mountains and said, "You mean that's the territory of Songling Academy?"

“Yes, but that’s not Songling Academy. It’s a key border town on the outermost edge of Songling Academy, similar to our Linghua Academy,” Wen Qianyi explained.

"So that's how it is. I just wanted to go in there to buy some things, but they guarded me so closely that they wouldn't let me in. They said I would have to take some kind of medicine if I came in, and if I used my spiritual power, they would find out and chase after me and kill me. I was so scared that I didn't dare to go in!" Lin Ran recalled his embarrassing situation back then. In the end, he could only sneak in. He would sneak in to buy all the supplies he needed and then come out again.

Upon hearing Lin Ran's experience, Wen Qianyi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, saying, "After you join our Linghua Academy, Senior Lin, we will give you a token representing your identity. This way, you won't be hindered when you go to the spheres of influence of the five major academies. Moreover, with the Linghua Academy token, you will receive many preferential treatments within our Linghua City sphere of influence. I will talk to you about it then."

"Haha, that's great! Quite a few of my family's younger members have gone to Linghua Academy. I wonder what they'll think if I were to become a teacher!" Lin Ran thought about it and felt it would be very interesting. Family elders could suddenly become leaders of her school. Wouldn't that be incredibly prestigious?

"At that time, I would also like to meet the younger generation of Senior Lin's family. With Senior Lin's strength, the younger generation in the family must all take Senior Lin as their goal and learn from him!" Wen Qianyi said with a smile.

"Hey, Elder Wen, you're so kind, say a few more words!" Lin Ran laughed loudly.

The two chatted and laughed as they headed toward the sphere of influence of Songling Academy, intending to pass through Songling Academy and then hire a carriage to take the coffin back to Linghua Academy. Lin Ran's teaching career was about to begin.

Chapter Ninety-Five: The Importance of First Impressions

"Is this Ayaka Castle?"

Lin Ran gazed at the city not far away, built against towering mountains, which was remarkably similar to Anling, the capital of the Li Dynasty.

Standing next to Lin Ran was Wen Qianyi, who had accompanied her all the way. She smoothed her messy hair from her forehead, a faint smile on her face, and looked at Ling Huacheng, saying, "Yes, how is it? Isn't it quite big?"

Wen Qianyi spoke with considerable pride about Linghua City, the place that gave her birth and raised her.

When Lin Ran first heard that, he couldn't help but misunderstand. Although he knew Wen Qianyi was referring to the size of the city, he glanced at it briefly and said very sincerely, "It is indeed quite big!"

"Let's go, let's get ready to go into town!"

Wen Qianyi smiled, then turned and led the carriage parked behind them. The two drove the carriage to the city gate. Looking at the long queue, Lin Ran couldn't help but be surprised and said in surprise, "Are there always this many people?"

"Ok!"

Wen Qianyi explained, "Because the dangerous triangle area occupies a very large part of Jiezhou, all sorts of people flee to the sphere of influence of the five major academies every day."

"That's true!"

Lin Ran nodded in agreement. He looked towards the city gate and saw people wearing the Linghua Academy badges standing there, holding weapons.

If you're a new face, you'll need to go through various investigations before you can enter. The guys at the gate all have considerable strength, at least in the upper-middle level of the Dao Yuan Realm. The one who's clearly the captain is at the early stage of the Hua Ling Realm.

"drive!"

Wen Qianyi drove the carriage onto another passage, which was reserved for students and teachers from the five major academies. All that was needed was a check of their identities.

The carriage arrived at another passage of the city gate. When the guards there saw that it was Wen Qianyi, they immediately saluted and said, "Greetings, Elder Wen!"

"Hello, thank you for your hard work!" Wen Qianyi smiled faintly.

When the guard saw Lin Ran standing next to Elder Wen and realized she was a stranger, he tentatively asked, "Elder Wen, who is this gentleman...?"

“This person will likely become an elder of the academy in the future, and then you will recognize him!” Wen Qianyi said.

This startled the guard, who quickly called out, "Greetings, Elder! Greetings, Elder!"

Lin Ran found this feeling quite interesting and waved her hand, saying, "Not yet!"

“It will be soon!” Wen Qianyi chimed in from the side.

After a perfunctory check, the team members opened the side gate to let Lin Ran and the others drive the carriage in. As soon as they entered Linghua City, Lin Ran felt a strange fluctuation sweep over her. She frowned and asked curiously, "What is this? Is it for detection?"

"That's the grand formation of Linghua City, specifically designed to detect outsiders entering. It will leave a mark on you, and if you use spiritual power in battle, the mark on you will light up red, like a..."

Wen Qianyi tried hard to find an adjective to describe it, but Lin Ran added, "Like a pitch-black firefly, a huge embarrassment."

"Haha, that seems true!"

Wen Qianyi covered her mouth and laughed. She thought Senior Lin was very interesting and always managed to say some rather unique things.

Upon entering the city, Linghua City was quite prosperous, with bluestone paving, neat houses, the occasional cries of vendors, crowded streets, and students from Linghua Academy coming and going.

Lin Ran noticed that Wen Qianyi seemed to be quite popular in the academy. Some students passing by greeted Wen Qianyi when they saw her. He also vaguely heard some gossipy girls whispering about his relationship with Elder Wen.

This reminded him of his student days in a previous world, when he had the same gossipy mindset as these young people today.

Wen Qianyi led Lin Ran to a place to stay and let Lin Ran rest there for a while, while she went into the academy to speak with the academy's senior leaders.

Lin Ran didn't seem to mind. She poured herself a cup of tea, leaned against the window, and drank it while looking at the street outside. It felt like the old university town.

"I heard that Linghua Academy has some kind of inner courtyard, but I don't know what it's like. Elder Wen said it's not here," Lin Ran thought to herself.

Every academy has an inner courtyard, teeming with geniuses. These geniuses have all endured rigorous trials and tribulations in the outer courtyard to gain entry. Who knows if the Flower Sect successor he's searching for might be there, and perhaps...

Lin Ran turned around and saw the semi-transparent coffin placed in the room. Looking at the unconscious Mu Shishuang inside, he felt a headache every time he saw her. He simply covered her with a black cloth, out of sight, out of mind. He felt much better when he couldn't see her anymore.

.....

Wen Qianyi headed straight for the Linghua City office and had a smooth journey, arriving directly at the office of the highest-ranking official in Linghua City, Qiu Qingzi.

She knocked on the door, and Qiu Qingzi's voice came from inside very quickly: "Come in!"

Wen Qianyi pushed open the door and went in. Qiu Qingzi, who was working at her desk, looked up and saw the travel-worn Wen Qianyi. She quickly put down her pen and paper and rushed to Wen Qianyi's side, checking her over from head to toe. Wen Qianyi was stunned by what she saw and asked curiously, "Sister Qiu, what happened to you?"

"Check if you're missing anything, and whether your innocence is still intact."

Qiu Qingzi bluntly uttered some very rude words, making Wen Qianyi blush deeply. Wen Qianyi slapped Qiu Qingzi hard and said, "Sister Qiu, what are you thinking? How could my relationship with Senior Lin be as filthy as you think!"

"That's not necessarily true. Every man is lustful, especially someone as outstanding as my little Qianyi!" Qiu Qingzi said with a grin, putting her arm around Wen Qianyi's shoulder and, taking advantage of Wen Qianyi's inattention, gently squeezing Wen Qianyi's water balloon.

Startled, Wen Qianyi quickly covered Qiu Qingzi's chest, her face as red as an apple. She said in shame and indignation, "You big pervert, you're the biggest pervert!"

"What's wrong with girls being a little erotic?"

Qiu Qingzi winked at Wen Qianyi, then swayed her serpentine waist back to the table, opened a drawer and took out a jade token with the emblem of Linghua Academy. Looking at Wen Qianyi's rosy cheeks, she said, "Your sister has been worried about you for a long time. I'll send her a message now and call over all the higher-ups of the academy to test Senior Lin, whom you keep talking about."

"Does this still need to be tested?" Wen Qianyi couldn't help but ask.

"Why not?"

Qiu Qingzi rolled her eyes at Wen Qianyi, then continued, "Your 'Senior Lin' is very likely a fake identity, so we need to test him!"

"Fake identity? Have you investigated that?" Wen Qianyi asked incredulously.

She definitely didn't believe that Senior Lin would lie to her. He even told her about those ancient races, so how could Senior Lin's identity be fake!

Qiu Qingzi rubbed her temples and looked at Wen Qianyi, saying helplessly, "Qianyi, what kind of bewitching potion did you get? Did they brainwash you? I only saved you once, don't be so infatuated!"

We did indeed find a member of the Lin family of the Li Dynasty; they are indeed in our academy. Their name is Lin Xi, and we even went to inquire about them.

Their clan leader is named Lin Ran, the same name as your Senior Lin. The problem is, their clan leader's strength is at the Spirit Core Realm, while yours is at the Nirvana Realm. Do you understand what I mean?

"Couldn't that be a breakthrough?" Wen Qianyi argued.

"But the problem is that the clan leader is still with the Lin family, so who is this person now? And is it really that easy to break through from the Spirit Pill Realm to the Nirvana Realm? I almost got burned to death by the Soul Karmic Fire when I broke through to the Nirvana Realm. You think you can break through to the Nirvana Realm in just a few years?" Qiu Qingzi slammed her hand on the table, her voice becoming much sharper.

"So that means they're fake?" Wen Qianyi suddenly laughed.

"It's very possible, that's why we need to test them. If it's fake, then we'll kick them out!" Qiu Qingzi still held a bad view. She had met many men and had been deeply involved in the dangerous triangle area. She knew more about the dangers outside than Wen Qianyi.

Wen Qianyi's life has been smooth sailing, and she hasn't had much contact with men. It's normal that she would be captivated by a man who is good-looking and has some ability. Once the man's ugly face is exposed, Qianyi will definitely wake up.

"Then I'll wait and see!"

Wen Qianyi didn't say much. She knew that Qiu Qingzi's impression of Lin Ran was already formed from the beginning. When the first impression is bad, everything that happens to that person afterwards will only be viewed negatively.

"Oh, you came pretty quickly!"

Not long after Qiu Qingzi sent the message, she looked out the window and saw seven or eight small black dots in the sky, rapidly approaching. She glanced at Wen Qianyi in the room and said, "Go and call your Senior Lin to the training ground in the outer courtyard. Let's wait for him there!"

"it is good!"

Wen Qianyi responded with a word, then closed the door and left.

Seeing Wen Qianyi like this, Qiu Qingzi couldn't help but shake her head, hoping that the girl wouldn't cry her heart out after Senior Lin's mask was exposed and she realized she had been deceived.

……

Wen Qianyi returned to the room where Lin Ran was staying, knocked on the door, and it opened quickly. Seeing that it was Wen Qianyi, she couldn't help but smile and say, "You're back so soon? Have you met your family and friends yet?"

"Ok!"

Wen Qianyi nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Senior Lin, the higher-ups at the academy say they need to test you and verify your identity. They're afraid they might be letting a wolf into the house. Do you have any objections to this?"

"An interview? What's there to complain about? By the way, here's a junior from Linghua Academy, her name is Lin Xi. Her grandfather is my good brother, and I even mentored her in cultivation. I can bring her along to prove my identity!" Lin Ran said nonchalantly.

He had already prepared for the interview, but he never expected that being transported to another world would involve a job interview. It was quite an experience. He wondered what kind of challenges awaited him.

Wen Qianyi was taken aback when she saw Lin Ran's eager expression. Was this how an imposter should behave?

With a slight smile, she said, "I will pass on what you said, Senior Lin. I wish you great success!"

"Haha, we'll be colleagues from now on!"

Chapter Ninety-Six: Scene Identification.jpg

Linghua City covers an area of ​​enormous size, so large that it is almost astonishing. Even the outer courtyard of Linghua Academy is surprisingly large.

Standing at the entrance of Linghua Academy, looking up at the huge plaque, I wrote the four characters "Linghua Academy" with strong strokes, and added the name of the writer, Wen Jing, at the end.

"Is this Wen Jing the first dean of your school? Her surname is Wen, could it be?" Lin Ran turned to look at Wen Qianyi beside her, her body already leaning back slightly, ready to "lean back tactically" at any moment.

"Yes, all the deans have been from the Wen family. The current dean is my older sister, Wen Bixuan. She's a powerful expert in the Dragon Transformation Realm, so don't be afraid later!" Wen Qianyi teased.

"I'm not afraid..."

Lin Ran thought to himself, "I've seen people in the Undying Realm, why would I be afraid of someone in the Dragon Transformation Realm? Besides, there's an Undying Realm person lying in my hands, being bullied by me every day. Is he arrogant?"

"Senior Lin, please come with me!"

Wen Qianyi smiled and led Lin Ran into Linghua Academy.

The entire academy is paved with bluestone, and the buildings are antique in style. There are no men around; it is mostly female students.

When she saw Wen Qianyi, she greeted her warmly, while looking at Lin Ran with a very curious and inquisitive gaze. Lin Ran felt as if she had entered a sheep pen, where the sheep smelled sweet.
