I'm the protagonist's dad, but the heroines want to kill me

"Boss Xin is really amazing!" Lin Ran couldn't help but praise.

After treating Xiao Qian's injuries, Xin Zhiqing's mature and intellectual face flushed a few times, and she said embarrassedly: "Mr. Lin, please don't embarrass me. I still have a long way to go to surpass Bi Qianyi!"

"Hey, Lin Ran, quickly let Zhiqing come over, the child is also seriously injured!"

On the right side of Lin Ran and others, Qiu Qingzi waved and shouted, and next to Qiu Qingzi was Chi Si Nian who had just been attacked by a tiger monster.

"Then I'll go over first, Mr. Lin!" Xin Zhiqing took a step forward and hurried over.

After Lin Ran responded, he squatted down and looked at Fu Yuemei, who was currently smoothing Xiao Qian's hair with her head down. Even though there was blood on her hands, she did not show any stress reaction.

"Let me take you back, and then you should wash up carefully, you are covered in blood!" Lin Ran said.

Fu Yuemei raised her head and looked at Lin Ran. Her face was like a little cat, and her eyes were filled with a mixture of emotions. She said in a hoarse voice: "Master, am I... really useless? I messed up the first trial. If I had been more alert, Xiao Qian wouldn't have been hurt for saving me!"

"Girl, don't blame yourself!"

Lin Ran pulled Fu Yuemei's trembling left hand into his own hands and wrapped them around hers. Her hands were very cold, as if she was holding an ice cube.

He just watched how they dealt with the Crimson Scorpion. These kids were capable, but they lacked experience. The team of ten was in a panic and couldn't focus on one thing while neglecting another.

"What you need to do now is to adjust your own state, summarize the reasons for this failure, and strive to kill the monster next time to avenge Xiao Qian, okay?" Lin Ran encouraged Fu Yuemei.

Fu Yuemei felt the warmth from Lin Ran's palm and the encouragement from his words. It was as if a warm current was flowing through her heart, smoothing out the uneasiness and fear in her heart.

She thought quietly in her heart:

"Thank you, master!"

……

This first trial given to ten people ended in failure, and because some children were seriously injured, Lin Ran and Qiu Qingzi went to Wen Bixuan together to be reprimanded.

"How can you two be so reckless? I'm not against your training methods, but you let a group of people in the Spiritual Transformation Realm deal with the Red Scorpion at the peak of the Spiritual Pill Realm. How can you do such a dangerous thing? If those children really die there, what will you do?"

Wen Bixuan's cold questioning rang out in the bamboo house. Lin Ran and Qiu Qingzi were both older than Wen Bixuan, but there was nothing they could do because Wen Bixuan was the dean, their immediate superior. Moreover, this time they acted without authorization and caused a big trouble, so it was normal for them to be criticized by the dean.

Both of them are veterans, and the main thing they do is nod in agreement and apologize sincerely, but I will dare to make the same mistake again next time.

Wen Bixuan seldom talks so much. With her cold and indifferent personality, not many things can make her angry normally. But this time, she was really pissed off by these two people. And there is no doubt that the mastermind this time is the daring Lin Ran again. How could Fox Qiu have the courage to do such a thing?

Having said that, Wen Bixuan sat down and drank a cup of tea. After calming down her restless emotions, she looked at the two of them, mainly at Lin Ran, and said earnestly: "Next time... tell me what you are doing, and don't be so radical. Got it?"

"Yes!"

The two responded in unison.

After leaving Wen Bixuan's bamboo house and returning to the inner courtyard, where Lin Ran lived, Qiu Qingzi became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She suddenly stood up and slammed the table, staring at Lin Ran and said angrily, "It's all your fault. I got scolded again!"

"Hey, calm down, calm down, it's happened so many times, it doesn't matter if you get scolded this time!"

Lin Ran stood up and pushed Qiu Qingzi back to her seat. He poured her some tea and brought her her favorite dessert. He said in a gentle voice, "Bixuan didn't really blame us today. We should be more careful next time to prevent the students from getting into bigger problems. The most urgent thing now is to think about how to get these kids back to health as soon as possible!"

Qiu Qingzi looked at the tea and dessert in front of her. She knew what Lin Ran meant. This was purely a bribe, a bribe!

Finally, she couldn't resist the temptation of the dessert. She picked up a bamboo stick and gently picked up a piece of crystal clear cake with spiritual fruit inside and started to eat it. Feeling the glutinous and chewy taste bursting in her mouth, she said vaguely: "Next... I will ask the Alchemy Department to provide you with a batch of pills. Use them sparingly!"

"Hey, don't eat so fast!"

Lin Ran quickly refilled Qiu Qingzi's cup of tea, and then said, "If you're done, there's more in the kitchen. I'll also be cooking a big meal tonight, so remember to come and join us!"

After hearing Lin Ran's words, Qiu Qingzi's eyes lit up, but she said, "We'll see when the time comes!"

"Hey, no problem!"

Lin Ran understood what Qiu Qingzi meant, it seemed that he had to prepare something more sumptuous tonight.

After that, the conversation between the two became more and more pleasant.

Lin Chong and Mu Shishuang walked side by side through the living room and saw Lin Ran chatting with Qiu Qingzi. Mu Shishuang listened to Lin Ran's riddle-like words and looked at Lin Chong with a bit of surprise. He asked curiously, "Your father doesn't usually talk like this, right?"

"Father doesn't usually say that. He seems... to be like this only when he's making friends with the great elders of the family and those dignitaries outside. I asked my father before, and he said it's an art." Lin Chong thought for a moment and explained.

"Art?"

Mu Shishuang was stunned, not quite understanding what kind of art this was.

"Find a chance to ask him tonight!"

Mu Shishuang thought so.

……

99. Teach me

At dusk in the afternoon, Wen Qianyi, who was picking vegetables in the kitchen, looked up at Lin Ran who was frying vegetables over the boiler and said with a gloating look, "Senior, why did my sister scold you?"

"Xiao Qianyi, the answer is written all over your face, do you still need to ask me?"

Lin Ran rolled his eyes at Wen Qianyi and continued to concentrate on stirring the big pot in his hands, adding seasoning from time to time. A fragrant aroma lingered in the kitchen.

"Senior, don't be sad!"

Wen Qianyi shook off the water droplets on her hands, trotted to Lin Ran's side, and regardless of the smell of oil smoke on Lin Ran's body, she kissed Lin Ran on the face, and her little hands were randomly touching Lin Ran's body, and she said softly, "How about we go to the back mountain tonight?"

Lin Ran shuddered all over, and scooped the fried meat from the pot onto the empty plate beside him. He wiped his hands, reached out to pinch the little nose of the troublemaker Qianyi, and said with a smile on his face: "I don't need you to comfort me!"

"No, I just want to comfort you, Senior!"

Wen Qianyi pulled Lin Ran's arm and swung it like a child.

Just as the two were flirting in the kitchen, Mu Shishuang, who came in from outside carrying a bucket of water, happened to see the two flirting.

When Wen Qianyi saw Mu Shishuang coming back, she blushed and let go of Lin Ran's hand. She spoke in a panic: "Shishuang, why...why are you here? And you're carrying a bucket?"

Mu Shishuang looked at Lin Ran and then at Wen Qianyi, then poured the two buckets of water into the water tank in the kitchen, and said calmly: "You guys continue... Don't worry about me, I don't care!"

Wen Qianyi blushed. Even though she was flirting with her senior just now and even took the initiative to kiss him, she only dared to do this when they were alone. If there were outsiders around, she would be a huge coward.

Wen Qianyi blushed and continued to squat aside picking vegetables with her head down.

This made Mu Shi look a little confused. She wondered if she had said something wrong just now, otherwise why was Qianyi sitting there with her head down and not saying anything?

Seeing Wen Qianyi being defeated by the little coward in seconds, Lin Ran couldn't help laughing, but was soon met with Wen Qianyi's death stare. The poor vegetable in Qianyi's hand was picked badly by those fair little hands.

However, the brief awkwardness in the kitchen quickly disappeared with the arrival of Ye Wanxi. The atmosphere in the kitchen became joyful, and Ye Wanxi, who was good at talking, could take up any topic.

I also learned a lot about the new things in Linghua Academy. After a few visits, dinner was prepared in this pleasant atmosphere.

……

Dinner was exceptionally lively today. Qiu Qingzi came as promised to join in the fun, and Xin Zhiqing, who helped a lot, also came.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, it was time to chat. Wen Qianyi left temporarily because she had shared some of tonight's food and planned to send it to her sister. After all, Wen Bixuan would not attend such a banquet, but the food did taste good, so it would be nice to let her sister have a taste.

Lin Ran did not stop this, and even asked Qianyi to bring some cakes and desserts. He had noticed before that Wen Bixuan seemed to like these very much. Although the leader did not mention it, it would be nice to send one. Maybe the leader would be happy and give him a promotion and a raise, right?

Qiu Qingzi, who was drinking sugar water, suddenly thought of something and put down the bowl. She said, "Lin Ran, I received a message when I returned to the office this afternoon. After a while, you may have to leave early to go to the Canglong Academy."

"Gather at Canglong Academy? What for?"

Lin Ran ate a peach and looked up curiously and asked.

"What else can we do? Let's gather together and go to Qianzhou. I guess he's thinking of winning us over. The five major academies should unite to fight for greater benefits in the secret realm. Otherwise, he wouldn't say that we should go to Qianzhou from his Canglong Academy. If we unite, we will definitely be at a disadvantage!" Qiu Qingzi's face was full of helplessness.

Lin Ran glanced at his unknown apprentice, Yuemei. Even though she was drinking sugar water with her head down, her ears were pointed and she was listening!

He didn't rush to reply, but looked at Fu Yuemei and jokingly said, "Yuemei, do you have the confidence to break through to the Spiritual Pill Realm during this period?"

"Ah, I...I can't!"

Fu Yuemei quickly raised her head and shook it like a rattle.

"When your injury is almost healed, in addition to participating in daily training, practice with Xiao Chong in the evening!" Lin Ran picked up the towel beside him, wiped his hands, and said.

"Father, am I... a bit of a bully?"

Seeing that the topic suddenly came to him, Lin Chong was also confused. He looked at Fu Yuemei opposite him, then turned to look at his father and said, "I am already at the seventh star of the Lingdan realm, and Sister Yuemei is only at the peak of the Hualing realm. The gap is too big. Will sparring be effective?"

"what!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chong let out a low cry subconsciously, because just now Ye Wanxi, who was standing next to him, stepped on Lin Chong without leaving a trace. He was about to ask Wanxi why she stepped on him, but he heard Wanxi's voice in his ear: "Promise it, and we'll talk about it when we get back!"

"I understand, Master. I will do a good job as Sister Yuemei's sparring partner!" Lin Chong quickly agreed.

Looking at Lin Chong's rapid transformation, Lin Ran knew without hesitation that it was his daughter-in-law Ye Wanxi who was making the effort. Having such a virtuous daughter-in-law saved him a lot of effort!

It was not a sudden idea for him to ask Yuemei to practice sparring with Lin Chong. It was something he had been thinking about for some time. Currently, there was no young person in Linghua Academy who could practice sparring with Yuemei. If he asked the elders for help, both sides would be restricted.

Xiao Chong is a good choice. He is the same age as Yuemei, and they both have to participate in the secret realm, so they can get to know each other better.

As for whether sparks could fly, Lin Ran didn't count on it. He also wanted Yuemei to become his daughter-in-law, but marriage is about fate. He just hoped that Yuemei would have one more friend!

Fu Yuemei herself didn't expect that she would have a sparring partner, and that person is her master's son. This made her a little anxious. How should she get along with her master's son?

The dinner ended happily. Ye Wanxi, Mu Shishuang and Fu Yuemei stayed to clean up the mess. Lin Chong also wanted to stay, but was driven away by Ye Wanxi. The reason was: "Father and son have such a good opportunity to have tea and chat, why come here to deal with women's affairs?"

So Lin Chong could only come to the pavilion in the courtyard and watch his father drinking tea and admiring the moon. As he was watching from afar, a ray of moonlight sprinkled on his father.

The bright and clear moonlight illuminated Lin Ran's profile very clearly. That youthful and energetic face had not been eroded by the knife of time. It seemed that only from Lin Ran's eyes could one feel the vicissitudes of time.

When Lin Chong looked at his father's profile, he suddenly felt a little emotional: "Father, you are getting younger and younger!"

He knew that this was the result of his father's experience and blood and sweat. He didn't know what kind of suffering his father had gone through to reach the peak of Nirvana, but the figure of his father walking in front of him filled him with motivation.

He was looking forward to the day when his strength would surpass that of his father!

……

Lin Ran returned to his room happily today. It had been a long time since he had such a pleasant chat with Xiao Chong. He forgot the time for a moment. When he returned to his room, he found that it was already late at night.

"Qianyi said she was going to deliver food, so why is she gone?"

Lin Ran returned to the house, muttering to himself.

"Bump!"

When Lin Ran was about to take a hot bath to enjoy himself, there was a knock on the door of the room. He turned around and looked at the figure outside the door. Thinking it was Qianyi, he just unbuttoned his outer clothes and rushed over to open the door.

"Hey~"

Accompanied by a sour and old-fashioned sound, the door opened, but the person standing in front of Lin Ran was not Wen Qianyi, but his sister-in-law Mu Shishuang.

"May I come in?"

Mu Shishuang glanced at the disheveled Lin Ran, then glanced inside and asked tentatively.

"Okay... come in!"

Lin Ran waved his hand and moved aside.

Mu Shishuang didn't go in right away. She looked inside Lin Ran's room and asked, "You guys aren't there..."

She clapped her hands, making a crisp sound.

Lin Ran looked at the calm Mu Shishuang with a dark face, his brain was a little frozen, he definitely understood what Mu Shishuang meant, but the reason he was frozen was why Mu Shishuang was so trendy now that he even understood the meaning of clapping.

"Where did you learn this?" Lin Ran asked.

Mu Shishuang answered truthfully, "I learned it from the books you gave me, but there are some other words that I don't quite understand. This one is more figurative. How about you teach me?"

"I teach you?"

Lin Ran widened his eyes in surprise. He looked around and pulled this bastard girl in. They were stuck at the door and talking about such a terrible topic. If he was seen by his son, daughter-in-law, and apprentice, wouldn't that be terrible?

Pulling Mu Shishuang in, Lin Ran tidied his clothes, poured tea for Mu Shishuang, and said coldly: "Why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?"

Mu Shishuang held the tea but didn't drink it. She just stared at Lin Ran.

This made Lin Ran a little scared. He looked at Mu Shishuang and asked, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't stare at me like that. I'm very scared!"

"Today I saw you chatting with Vice President Qiu and listened to some of what you said. I didn't quite understand. Then Xiao Chong said that this is for dealing with dignitaries and old men in the clan. He said it is an art. Can you teach me?" Mu Shishuang said.

Hearing what Mu Shishuang said, Lin Ran was a little slow to react for a moment. After a while, he realized that what Mu Shishuang wanted to learn was the art of speaking.

"Why did you learn this? You might as well crush the opponent with your strength!"

Lin Ran was telling the truth, because a big fist can knock you speechless with just one punch.
