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

After cursing for a while, seemingly feeling unsatisfied, Wen Bixuan shouted outside, "Come in here!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran knew it was time to go to the execution ground. With heavy steps, she pushed open the door and went inside. She found that Wen Qianyi was kneeling in front of Wen Bixuan at some point. This made Lin Ran's eyebrows twitch. It seemed like a big scene.

Lin Ran walked over to Wen Qianyi and just then saw that Wen Qianyi's eyes were red as she looked at him. This made his heart tremble a little, and he couldn't help but say, "Why don't we let Qianyi get up first?"

"Ok?"

Wen Bixuan suddenly cast a murderous glance at Lin Ran, making her hair stand on end, but she quickly looked away and said coldly, "Qianyi, get up!"

"Yes, sister!"

Wen Qianyi responded and got up from the ground, secretly glancing at Lin Ran beside her.

Wen Bixuan witnessed this entire scene. Looking at the two people standing in front of her, secretly exchanging glances, she coldly shouted, "Where are you looking at all of you!"

The two of them immediately looked away and stared intently ahead. Watching the two of them acting silly, Wen Bixuan felt truly exhausted. When did her silly younger sister become like this?

"Lin Ran, I'll just ask you a few questions. Just answer them honestly!" Wen Bixuan said to Lin Ran in a deep voice.

“Please speak!” Lin Ran replied.

"First question, is your wife still alive? Or are you currently married?" Wen Bixuan stared at Lin Ran and added, "Don't try to lie to me. I can tell if you're lying. Answer me truthfully!"

“I… my wife left many years ago, and I can’t find her anymore. I’m not currently married, and I’ve been taking care of my wife and son all these years,” Lin Ran answered truthfully.

Wen Bixuan nodded. She knew Lin Ran wasn't lying. To be honest, she admired Lin Ran quite a bit. She had raised her son all by herself, and Lin Ran's son seemed to be a dark horse from Tianli Academy, even breaking into the Heavenly Ranking Competition.

"So... the second question!"

Wen Bixuan pondered for a moment, then stared at Lin Ran and slowly asked her second question: "Lin Ran, what are your feelings for Qianyi?"

Lin Ran subconsciously glanced at Wen Qianyi beside him, just as Wen Qianyi was looking at him.

Wen Qianyi was gripping her dress tightly, clearly concerned about Lin Ran's opinion of her. She had never asked Lin Ran for her opinion, but that didn't mean she didn't care.

Lin Ran took a deep breath and said, "She's a gentle, lovely, and beautiful girl. I'd be much happier spending time with her!"

“Then let me ask one more question!” Wen Bixuan asked, looking at her.

"So, if I asked you to love only Qianyi for the rest of your life, would you be willing?"

……

Chapter 114 People from the Sword Sect Arrive

Lin Ran had expected this, but she didn't expect Wen Bixuan to be so direct.

No matter how you answer, it feels like you're in deep trouble. If you answer yes, what about his romantic entanglements? If you answer no, you'll offend both of the sisters. Lin Ran is caught in a bind.

However, he could agree now to appease Wen Bixuan, and later he could still be a charming and philandering playboy. But could he really fool Wen Bixuan? He didn't know, but he definitely wouldn't agree against his will.

Lin Ran's hesitation and struggle did not escape the notice of Wen Bixuan and Wen Qianyi. Wen Qianyi's eyes dimmed slightly, but she quickly rallied, bit her lip, and asked her sister firmly, "Sister, why are you making things difficult for the senior? Asking such a question is simply unreasonable."

Everything that happened today was because I proactively sought help from my seniors, asking them to verify whether the methods in the ancient texts were feasible and to find a safe way for the academy to use the Ice Spirit Jade Lake.

Wen Bixuan was both heartbroken and furious. This was the first time she had ever seen her sister question her like this, especially over a man.

Taking a deep breath, Wen Bixuan pointed at Lin Ran and looked at Wen Qianyi coldly, saying, "Then tell me, what were you and him doing in the lake today? The verification method required you to strip naked and hug each other, it was almost like... that."

He's a married man, and you're a pure, innocent virgin. Don't you want to get married in the future? And also…”

Wen Bixuan turned her attention to Lin Ran and said angrily, "You are clearly married and have a wife. Even if your wife leaves, let's assume you are with Qianyi. What if she comes out later and you have to divorce Qianyi? What will happen to Qianyi then?"

If you can't give Qianyi happiness, don't seduce her. She's immature, but how old are you? Don't you understand?

Wen Bixuan wanted to say something more, but Wen Qianyi rushed over and grabbed her hand, her eyes fixed on her with emotions Wen Bixuan had never seen before. At that moment, Wen Bixuan didn't say anything more.

Wen Qianyi turned to Lin Ran and forced a smile, saying, "Senior, you should go back first. Let me and my sister explain what happened today. We're very sorry!"

"it is good!"

Even though Lin Ran had a thousand words in his heart, when he saw Wen Qianyi's pitiful eyes, he finally uttered just one word. He silently left the room, closed the door behind him, and then transformed into a streak of light and flew away.

He knew that Wen Qianyi and Wen Bixuan's conversation contained things he couldn't hear. He hadn't expected that after he revealed he had a wife, this silly girl would still rush over like a moth to a flame, catching him off guard. Perhaps he should be more careful about the distance between them in the future.

But he also has to blame himself. Why did he have to think about dual cultivation? He created such a troublesome situation. He was really blinded by the huge temptation to increase his strength.

Wen Bixuan's criticisms weren't wrong, and his performance tonight will probably disappoint Wen Qianyi.

It would be a lie to say he had no feelings for Wen Qianyi. Who wouldn't like such a beautiful, cute, and gentle girl? But was it really possible for the two of them to get together? He had to question that answer.

After all, he already owes too many emotional debts. If he owes a few more, he might become the Makoto Shinkai of another world and get his head chopped off.

"It's better to pull it out sooner rather than later, before it gets too deep!" Lin Ran sighed helplessly. The longer feelings last, the deeper they get. When you finally want to break free, the pain is unforgettable.

……

After Lin Ran left, the two sisters in the room fell silent, neither of them speaking first to break the silence.

Finally, Wen Bixuan looked at Wen Qianyi with a pained expression and asked angrily, "Lin Ran clearly doesn't like you. What's the point of you being so stubborn? Is it meaningful?"

"I know, I've always known, but this is the only person I've ever loved in my life. Am I really going to give up like this?" Wen Qianyi said sadly.

I wanted to laugh, but instead, I laughed so hard that two lines of tears streamed down my face.

Wen Bixuan took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away Wen Qianyi's tears. As her older sister, she felt terrible seeing her only relative in such a state.

If I had known better, I shouldn't have listened to Qianyi and let Lin Ran in. The academy is all set up now, but Qianyi has turned out like this.

Wen Qianyi looked at Wen Bixuan with red eyes and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Sister, I know you mean well, but I will continue to persevere. Just let me... indulge myself this once!"

Wen Bixuan sighed and ruffled Wen Qianyi's hair, saying, "She doesn't like you anymore, what's the point of you continuing? Why are you doing this to yourself?"

"Sister, promise me..." Wen Qianyi said softly.

"Okay, okay, I promise you!"

Wen Bixuan really couldn't do anything with her silly younger sister. With such stubbornness, she might as well let her bang her head against something. Maybe she would come to her senses when she got a bloody head!

……

For the next few days, Lin Ran didn't see Wen Qianyi, but she did see Wen Bixuan once or twice. Each time they met, Wen Bixuan would give Lin Ran a cold, icy look, filled with terrifying killing intent, which made Lin Ran's hair stand on end.

After making some inquiries, I learned that Wen Qianyi had been busy teaching students in the alchemy department or refining pills within the department.

For some reason, this made Lin Ran feel relieved. At least for the time being, he was not very willing to face Wen Qianyi. Perhaps the two of them could never go back to the relationship they had before!

One day, Lin Ran received a message from Qiu Qingzi, asking her to go to the outer courtyard. After receiving the message, Lin Ran flew to the outer courtyard without stopping.

As soon as Lin Ran entered the conference room of the Foreign Languages ​​Department, she saw that quite a few people were already seated in the room, but she didn't recognize any of them.

However, none of these people were weaker than those at the Nirvana Realm, including two of them.

One was a middle-aged man in white robes sitting next to Qiu Qingzi, looking like a Taoist immortal. Next to him was a disheveled man sitting next to the middle-aged man.

Lin Ran felt the same oppressive aura emanating from these two people as she did from Wen Bixuan, with the white-clad man even stronger than Wen Bixuan.

As soon as Lin Ran entered, she felt many burning gazes. When Qiu Qingzi saw Lin Ran coming over, she stood up and said with a smile, "Everyone, this is Lin Ran, the vice dean of our Linghua Academy. She just came over from handling some business in the inner courtyard. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

"Lin Ran, these are people sent by Tianli Academy, Songling Academy, and Sword Sect. Why don't you greet them?" Qiu Qingzi said.

Lin Ran greeted everyone with a smile, thinking they were about to discuss something, but Qiu Qingzi said they had to wait for someone else.

Not long after, the aloof Wen Bixuan suddenly appeared in the conference room. As soon as Lin Ran saw Wen Bixuan, she wondered if she should make an excuse to leave.

Today, Wen Bixuan didn't look at Lin Ran with that almost murderous gaze. Instead, she took the seat of honor and looked expressionlessly at Songling, Tianli, and the people from the Sword Sect.

Faced with Wen Bixuan's pressure, the white-robed man at the head of the group said calmly, "I have long heard of Linghua Academy, one of the five great academies. Its dean is already at the Dragon Transformation Realm at a young age and has taken over such a large family business as Linghua Academy. Now that I see it, it is indeed extraordinary!"

Wen Bixuan replied calmly, "Elder Liang is not bad either. As expected of the Sword Sect, there are indeed many strong people in the sect!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Elder Liang from the Sword Sect finally got to the point: "The main reason we've come to visit Linghua Academy today is to discuss with our families how to deal with the secret realm six months from now."

The secret realm six months later?

Lin Ran, who was listening in from the side, was stunned when she heard this keyword. Could it be that the seal on this secret realm would weaken in half a year and she would be able to enter?

Wen Bixuan looked at Elder Liang and couldn't help but ask, "Then, Elder Liang, what would you like to discuss today?"

Elder Liang chuckled and said, "Someone has already calculated using forbidden techniques that the seal outside that secret realm will be at its weakest in six months. As long as we use the treasures that can break the seal formation at that time, we will definitely be able to break the seal and successfully enter the secret realm!"

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Wen Bixuan's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and said expressionlessly, "Oh, as far as I know, even after so many years, the seal of that secret realm is still at its weakest point and still possesses power comparable to a Saint Realm expert. Even with a treasure that can break the sealing formation, it wouldn't be easy to deal with!"

"If it were an ordinary treasure, it would definitely be difficult to deal with," Elder Liang said with a smile. "But according to information from Songling and Tianli Academy..."

"Dean Wen, your Linghua Academy possesses a divine weapon that can be described as a **sealing formation**. I believe that when Dean Wen uses such a weapon, we will gain the upper hand in the secret realm."

Elder Liang's words immediately drew curses from several people who were secretly cursing him in their hearts.

The people from Tianli and Songling Academy were blaming Elder Liang for deliberately provoking them, while Wen Bixuan cursed inwardly, undoubtedly furious that these people had their eyes on their Linghua Academy's magic weapon.

On the surface, everyone could only smile, even though they were quite angry inside.

Elder Liang seemed to know what Wen Qianyi was thinking, and added some conditions, saying, "Dean Wen, as long as you are willing to temporarily lend this magic weapon, when your academy's people are in the secret realm..."

Our Sword Sect will protect them with all our might, and if any of them have talent, we will even give them the opportunity to join the Sword Sect. Furthermore, we will return this magical artifact to Dean Wen afterwards, so please rest assured, Dean Wen!

If it weren't for maintaining appearances, Wen Bixuan would have already started cursing. What do you mean by "don't worry"? Don't worry my foot!

This is just like Lin Ran and her silly sister. If she hadn't stopped them that day, those two would have burned the entire Ice Spirit Jade Lake to the ground. You think I'd believe you if you said you'd give me a magic weapon to use and then return it? Am I out of my mind?!

……

Chapter 115 You have to agree!

Even with talk of compensation, Elder Liang's actions undoubtedly embarrassed Linghua Academy.

To directly ask Linghua Academy to borrow its sacred artifact is a gross underestimation of Linghua Academy. However, the Sword Sect does indeed have such capabilities. After all, the strongest person Linghua Academy currently has is Wen Bixuan, while the elder from the Sword Sect is already at the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Although Wen Bixuan was very unhappy, she still kept her composure and said calmly, "Elder Liang, your Sword Sect is a large and powerful family, and you must have magical artifacts that can break the sealing formation. Our Linghua Academy is a small temple, and I'm afraid we don't have what Elder Liang needs."

Elder Liang was also a little angry when he heard Wen Bixuan's words. Their Sword Sect had made such a great compensation, yet Linghua Academy had repeatedly made excuses. His tone became a bit harsher: "Dean Wen, Tianli Academy and Songling Academy both highly praise Linghua Academy. Then you must have such a treasure. Don't hide your abilities. As a member of our alliance, Linghua Academy should do its part!"

Tianli and Songling Academy: "Stop talking about them! Why are you bringing us up so much?"

The two heads of the academies were completely numb.

This Elder Liang from the Sword Sect, does he even know how to speak properly? Not only does he insist that they were the ones who recommended him behind his back, but he also asks them to lend him the sect's treasured artifact.

Their initial plan was to have Linghua Academy bring such magical artifacts when it was convenient, and then help break the seal. Since they would be traveling in groups, having people from Linghua Academy accompany them and have them help with any formations or seals that needed to be broken would be a pleasant experience.

Wen Bixuan glanced at the people from the other two academies, which frightened them so much that they shrank back, not daring to face her. Wen Bixuan stared at Elder Liang of the Sword Sect for a while before slowly saying, "Even if we have such a magic weapon, it can only be used by our own people from Linghua Academy. We are still not very comfortable entrusting it to outsiders."
