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

Shangguan Mengqing paused, her eyes fixed on Lin Ran, her voice carrying a sharp chill as she said, "Isn't that a girls' academy? How come there's a male vice-principal?"

"Forehead…"

Lin Ran wondered why Shangguan Mengqing's voice seemed even colder than before, but she still replied, "Linghua Academy has reformed and decided to accept male student elders!"

"Oh~"

Shangguan Mengqing responded strangely, then walked to the edge of the cliff on her own, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and didn't say anything, which was very strange.

Lin Ran looked at Shangguan Mengqing's back, feeling a bit confused. Just as she was wondering why Shangguan Mengqing had run over here, she suddenly heard a "sizzling" sound, followed by a "whoosh" as the entire stove burst into flames.

"Oh my god, it's going to burn! It's going to burn!"

Lin Ran hurriedly rescued his roast chicken, while Shangguan Mengqing, who was carrying him on her back, seemed to have a slight upturn at the corner of her mouth under her veil.

In the end, Lin Ran was still unable to save the roast chicken. She could only use a knife to scrape off the "charcoal" on the outside, remove the inedible parts, put it on a plate, and use her spiritual power to wash the oil stains off her hands.

Just as Lin Ran was about to start eating, she caught a glimpse of Shangguan Mengqing standing silently on the edge of the cliff, staring at the sky. After hesitating for a while, she finally took another unopened flask of wine, went to Shangguan Mengqing's side, handed it to her, and said, "Shangguan... Fairy, would you like some wine and something to eat?"

Lin Ran didn't know what to call her, so he just called her Fairy. He was just asking politely; it was impossible for the Fairy to actually drink his wine and eat his charred roasted meat.

"Well, thank you!"

Shangguan Mengqing nodded, took the wine from Lin Ran's right hand, lifted her veil, raised her fair, swan-like neck, and held the wine pot to her crimson lips. The wine sloshed around in her throat, and the fragrant wine flowed slowly. After a while, Shangguan Mengqing put down the wine pot, gently wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and then turned to look at Lin Ran.

When Shangguan Mengqing saw Lin Ran staring blankly at her, her heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "Have I been discovered?"

Shangguan Mengqing reacted quickly. She glanced at the unopened wine pot in Lin Ran's left hand and immediately understood what was going on. She had been too familiar with Lin Ran before, and they had eaten and drunk without any restraint. But now she was Shangguan Mengqing, a "Shangguan Mengqing" she had never met before. How could she do that? So she quickly came up with a very lame excuse.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Is your wine poisoned, and you want to see how I react after being poisoned?" Shangguan Mengqing's voice was still as cold as ever, so cold that it was frightening.

Lin Ran was startled by Shangguan Mengqing's words. This was a huge accusation suddenly being leveled at her. What if the Sword Sect came after her Linghua Academy?

"Fairy, you misunderstand. It's just that I... because... because of your stunning beauty, I was momentarily stunned..." Lin Ran quickly explained. He was too embarrassed to say that he was dumbfounded because he saw you using my wine pot to indirectly kiss me.

Lin Ran was a little scared by Shangguan Mengqing's strange behavior. This was his first time meeting the female lead. Could it be that the female lead had already broken down?

"Am I pretty? Thank you!" Shangguan Mengqing replied calmly.

Lin Ran:......

As expected of the aloof female lead, she remains so indifferent even when praised for her beauty. But considering her status and position in the Sword Sect, she must have heard plenty of flattery.

But she really looked beautiful. Lin Ran hadn't expected Shangguan Mengqing to remove her veil right in front of him. Even now that she was actually in front of him, he felt like he was dreaming.

Shangguan Mengqing's beauty was so exquisite that it seemed unreal. Her ethereal气质, refined elegance, and unparalleled beauty, combined with the gentle moonlight, made her appear as if shrouded in a light mist, both real and illusory, unlike any mortal, more like a celestial being.

Perhaps because Shangguan Mengqing's attitude towards him wasn't so aloof, Lin Ran became much bolder and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Fairy, don't you usually go to that mountain peak over there to admire the moon? Why are you here?"

"Too many people, too noisy!" Shangguan Mengqing replied succinctly.

As expected of a cool and aloof fairy, her answer was indeed very simple.

Next, Lin Ran invited the aloof fairy to sit down and eat. They chatted a bit, but unfortunately, the fairy's answers were mostly "um" or "yes." When she encountered something she couldn't say, she would just keep a cold face and remain silent.

Lin Ran noticed that Shangguan Mengqing seemed interested in the food of the mortals, keeping her head down and eating without bothering to talk to him. This made Lin Ran sigh, realizing that being a fairy wasn't easy and that one had to miss out on a lot of happiness.

Perhaps she was full, Shangguan Mengqing stood up, casually used her spiritual power to clean the grease off her hands, then tossed down some spirit stones and said, "Here, consider it payment for the meal!"

Lin Ran opened her eyes wide and looked at the spirit stones in her arms. The energy inside the spirit stones was surging and clean, shining with pure light. Wasn't this a high-grade spirit stone?

A barbecue can earn you several high-level spirit stones, it's absolutely awesome!

Shangguan Mengqing took in Lin Ran's every move. Although her expression remained cold and indifferent, she was secretly chuckling to herself: "This guy is still as greedy as ever. It's just a few spirit stones... Well, otherwise why would he have kept all those spirit stones and herbs from me, even my spatial ring..."

Recalling her past memories, Shangguan Mengqing felt her mind becoming slightly unstable. She quickly recited a calming incantation and hurriedly left the mountain, leaving Lin Ran with only a white silhouette.

Seeing Shangguan Mengqing leave, Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He had been a little uncomfortable with Shangguan Mengqing around. Just as he was thinking of taking out some food to continue grilling, Lin Ran remembered that there were still a long period of boring days ahead. If he ate too quickly, he would not have anything to eat later. So he suppressed his craving and packed his things to go back.

Shangguan Mengqing returned to her tent, sat cross-legged and cultivated for a while to calm her restless mind. She took out her Sword Sect token and poured spiritual power into it, causing the token to flash with a faint blue light.

A moment later, a woman in her thirties walked in. Although her face was rather ordinary, her voluptuous figure was particularly striking. She was dressed in a light blue outfit. She came to Shangguan Mengqing, knelt down on one knee, and respectfully said, "Young Sect Master, what are your orders?"

"Help me investigate the matter of Lin Ran, the new vice dean of Linghua Academy..." Shangguan Mengqing said calmly.

"I understand, Young Sect Master!"

Without asking the reason, and seeing that Shangguan Mengqing had nothing else to do, the woman left the tent to begin her investigation.

Shangguan Mengqing was alone in her tent, recalling the time she spent with Lin Ran that night. At first, she just wanted to find a place to be alone, but the place she had been inexplicably crowded with people, just like the place in the Sword Sect.

At first, she was just curious about where the aroma of the food was coming from. She followed the scent to the top of the mountain and then saw the "annoying guy" who had been lingering in her mind. This guy had probably come here because of the secret realm. But Shangguan Mengqing didn't quite understand why Lin Ran had become the vice dean of Linghua Academy. Moreover, his current strength seemed to be stronger than hers.

After returning to her sect, she devoted herself to cultivation. Although her mental state was somewhat lacking, which slowed down her cultivation speed, she is now at the ninth level of the Spirit Pill Realm and is constantly consolidating her realm in preparation for her breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm.

But Lin Ran's words still gave her a strong sense of pressure. Didn't that mean that this guy had already broken through to the Nirvana Realm in recent years?

"Did that guy have some kind of opportunity to gain experience all these years?" Shangguan Mengqing wondered to herself.

After all, she knew very well Lin Ran's talent. Calling it a stubborn rock was an understatement. It was like a stinky, hard rock in a latrine. Lin Ran was the only person in her life who could teach her to break down her mental defenses.

Lin Ran's talent, despite being a "mediocre craftsman," was enough to break through to the Nirvana Realm. She didn't believe it was possible without some kind of opportunity.

"I wonder what will happen in this secret realm..."

Shangguan Mengqing suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for the start of the secret realm…

.....

Chapter 121 Opportunities and Romantic Encounters?

After leaving the mountain peak, Lin Ran returned to the camp, but just as she was about to enter, a voice called out to her: "Senior, where have you been?"

When he turned around, he found that it was Wen Qianyi who had called out to him.

At this moment, Wen Qianyi's face showed worry. She hurriedly walked up to Lin Ran and asked anxiously, "Senior, why didn't you tell me you were going out in the middle of the night? I just went to your tent to look for you, but I couldn't find you. I was so worried!"

"I'm sorry to have worried you, I was just taking a walk around!" Lin Ran said with a smile.

"around?"

Wen Qianyi paused for a moment, then put her hands on her hips, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Lin Ran with some suspicion, saying, "The camp is deserted tonight. I asked some students from Songling Academy, and they said they all went to see the Sword Sect Fairy. Senior, you didn't go to join the fun too, did you?"

Lin Ran:!

Family, this is a major crisis. How should he answer this question? It feels like he's been out fooling around and got caught by the women at home.

"Um, this... I didn't..."

Lin Ran racked his brains trying to figure out how to phrase it. He had indeed gone to that mountain peak tonight, but he didn't see it. He was thinking of going to other peaks to wander around and have something to eat. Unexpectedly, they ran into each other by chance, and the two even had a thrilling indirect kiss. All of this made him feel a little guilty.

Just then, a slightly rough voice rang out behind Lin Ran, followed by a slap on Lin Ran's shoulder.

"Brother Lin, you're really lucky you didn't come tonight. I spent five mid-level spirit stones to buy a spot, and I didn't expect that Sword Sect Fairy wouldn't come. It's really... the moon is so round tonight!" Yue Lei excitedly complained along with Lin Ran, but when he saw Wen Qianyi in front of Lin Ran, he immediately scratched his head, pretended to look at the moon in the sky, and slipped away.

Looking at Yue Lei's chubby figure, Lin Ran really wanted to find an opportunity to beat that guy up. Why did you come here to join in the fun? Now he didn't know how to explain himself anymore.

Wen Qianyi watched Yue Lei leave, then quietly looked at Lin Ran. But then she thought that standing at the door was not a good look, so she pulled Lin Ran into the tent.

The two sat facing each other, and the silence was finally broken by Wen Qianyi. She looked at Lin Ran gently and said softly, "Senior, I don't blame you, it's just... it's best if we don't have too much contact with someone like the Sword Sect Fairy. Senior, if you..."

There were some things Wen Qianyi dared not say, so she could only sit on the chair with her face flushed and her head lowered, giving the impression that she wished the other would take more of her.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful Wen Qianyi, Lin Ran was tempted. She couldn't help but move her small stool closer to Wen Qianyi, her eyes fixed on her charming face, and slowly lowered her head.

When Wen Qianyi saw Lin Ran approaching, she nervously closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, both nervous and looking forward to the intimacy that was about to take place between them.

But Wen Qianyi's nose twitched slightly as she caught a scent on Lin Ran, causing her to open her eyes and gently push Lin Ran away, asking curiously, "Senior, what's that scent on you?"

What does it taste like?

Lin Ran couldn't help but lower her head and sniff her clothes. She smelled a mixture of barbecue and alcohol, and scratched her head awkwardly, saying, "I went out for barbecue tonight and had some drinks, so the smell is a bit strong!"

"Then you should go wash up first, senior. I'll head back now. They might get nervous if they don't see me come back!" Wen Qianyi said softly.

"Ah, Qianyi, do you think I smell bad?" Lin Ran didn't expect the meat that was just about to be in her mouth to fly away.

"Where can I find it!"

Seeing Lin Ran's strange appearance, Wen Qianyi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lin Ran and said coquettishly, "You're just like a little kid. Close your eyes, and I'll make it up to you!"

"What compensation?!"

"Close your eyes first!"

Lin Ran obediently closed her eyes and waited for a while, but the compensation still hadn't arrived. She couldn't help but ask, "Has the compensation started yet?"

"no!"

But the moment the voice fell, Lin Ran felt her face being frozen in place, and her lips were pressed against a wet kiss. In just a few seconds, the wetness quietly left, and the beauty kicked over the chair and hurriedly left the tent.

When Lin Ran opened her eyes, she saw the slightly open tent and the overturned chair. She subconsciously touched her lips and couldn't help but smile foolishly.

"So moisturizing..."

……

The next day, the Sword Sect sent someone to inform Linghua Academy and invite Linghua, Songling, and Tianli Academy to the Sword Sect's camp to discuss matters.

Each academy sent a few representatives. For Linghua Academy, it was naturally Lin Ran. He brought Wen Qianyi and Li Qiushui, and together with Yue Lei, the vice dean of Songling Academy, they went to the Sword Sect's camp.

After passing through several security checkpoints, Lin Ran and the others finally arrived at the camp specially used by the Sword Sect for holding meetings. The level of luxury here was far beyond what their small tents could compare to. Look at the mysterious rune patterns flowing on the Sword Sect's camp, it is clear that this camp is also an extraordinary magical artifact.

Outside the Sword Sect's camp, the elder sent by the Sword Sect to receive them was none other than Elder Liang of the Sword Sect, the very arrogant one Lin Ran had met at Linghua Academy, a master of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Elder Liang greeted Songling Academy with a friendly expression, saying in a very harmonious manner, "Hello, Vice Dean Yue, it's been a long time... you all..."

But when it came to Lin Ran, he simply pointed into the tent, his eyes filled with disdain, and said indifferently, "Go in!"

Elder Liang's behavior naturally angered Wen Qianyi and Li Qiushui. Li Qiushui, who had been stationed here for a long time, had suffered even more from the bad temper of the Sword Sect. However, despite their anger, they suppressed their emotions and looked at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran smiled and looked at Elder Liang, saying, "Thank you for coming out to greet me, Elder Liang. As expected, Elder Liang is just the right person for this job!"

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, Elder Liang's expression changed rapidly. The pressure of his Dragon Transformation Realm cultivation suddenly erupted, pressing down on Lin Ran. He said with a hint of anger, "Does everyone in Linghua Academy really not know the immensity of heaven and earth? Today, I will teach you a lesson!"

"Sigh~"

Lin Ran couldn't help but gasp. Although he had prepared himself, when the Dragon Transformation Realm expert exerted all his pressure, he felt as if his body was emitting a faint wail. At that moment, it felt as if several mountains were pressing down on him. Lin Ran experienced what it felt like to be suppressed by the Five Finger Mountain.

His body involuntarily hunched over, his face became ferocious, and his eyes were bloodshot, but he still stared intently at Elder Liang. His body withstood the pressure of the Dragon Transformation Realm and was not forced to prostrate on the ground.

Elder Liang was startled by the wolf-like gaze that seemed to want to devour his enemy alive. Just as he was about to unleash his full power, a sharp shout rang out from inside the tent: "Liang Cheng, what absurd thing are you doing? Stop right now!"

This stern shout actually carried a sense of soul-shaking power, causing Elder Liangcheng's soul to become dazed, and the terrifying pressure he had released on Lin Ran was instantly dispelled.

Wen Qianyi rushed over to catch Lin Ran immediately. Seeing that Lin Ran was covered in sweat, she grabbed her sleeve and wiped the sweat from Lin Ran's forehead, saying with a worried and anxious look in her eyes, "Senior, are you alright? If you feel unwell anywhere, please tell me immediately!"
