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

Looking at Li Qiushui in front of me, this person is really wild. She's already thinking about fighting again next time. Is she a battle maniac?

Perhaps noticing Lin Ran's strange look, Li Qiushui explained to herself, "I often spar with people in the academy, but there aren't many who can fight. Now that you've come to the academy, I have an opponent. Fighting that woman surnamed Qiu is boring; she only knows how to do nonsense. Your fight is much more exciting, every punch feels real, and I really enjoy it!"

Lin Ran:!

Sis, your words are so suggestive, it must have been fun to hit you. Are you a letter? Is this kind of trend even in this fantasy world?

He wished the fight was enjoyable in some other way, but this woman was probably the kind who was obsessed with martial arts, single-mindedly devoted to the path of martial arts, a very pure cultivator, who might even become a big shot in the future.

So Lin Ran agreed to Li Qiushui's next challenge. In any case, it would also improve his combat skills, and it was okay to spar occasionally.

"Hey, you should put some clothes on. You're acting a bit wild right now, it's not a good look!" Even though Lin Ran tried her best to tell herself not to care, she was still a little bothered by Li Qiushui's "fierce" behavior. After all, what man could resist observing the physical logic behind the movement of a water polo ball?

"Ah, I'll be more careful in the future!" Li Qiushui then realized that the academy would be reformed and men would be admitted, so fighting wouldn't be so unrestrained anymore.

After Li Qiushui put on a robe, Lin Ran's boiling blood gradually cooled down.

At that moment, the silver spatial barrier that was supposed to protect the aftershocks of the battle from spreading turned into specks of light and dissipated into the sky.

Wen Bixuan, leading a group of academy leaders, walked towards Lin Ran. Ignoring the blood and dust on Lin Ran's body, she extended her hand and said with a faint smile on her cold face, "Lin Ran, Linghua Academy welcomes you!"

After a moment of surprise, Lin Ran also smiled and said, "It is my honor to enter Linghua Academy!"

"After that, I have two options for your position in the academy. One is to become a vice dean, just like Qiu Qingzi, and then manage the academy's affairs together with her."

"The other option is to become an elder, just like Elder Li, and teach in your spare time while managing your own time. Which one would you like to choose?" Wen Bixuan asked.

The academy's senior members were all a bit stunned. They hadn't expected the dean to give Lin Ran the position of vice dean. You have to know that that position is second only to the dean and is in charge of the academy's affairs. Doesn't that mean that as long as the dean doesn't come out, Lin Ran and Qiu Qingzi are basically in charge? This is directly making her the second-in-command of the academy!

Even Wen Qianyi herself was a little shocked. She initially thought that Senior Lin would at most get an elder position, but she didn't expect that there would be a vice dean position to choose from. This made her a little confused as to why her sister would give her so much power.

Qiu Qingzi looked at Wen Bixuan in surprise and quickly said, "Dean, is this...?"

Of course, Qiu Qingzi wasn't worried about Lin Ran taking away her power; she was actually hoping someone would take over her affairs and manage all the big and small matters of the academy—she was already fed up with it.

She just felt that giving someone such a high position so directly might cause resentment or other unforeseen troubles.

Wen Bixuan gave Qiu Qingzi a look, and Qiu Qingzi immediately understood. She didn't say anything more and quietly waited for Lin Ran to make a decision.

After the battle, the other senior members of the academy had a preliminary understanding of Lin Ran's strength, so they didn't speak up casually and left everything to the dean to decide.

Even if they had any complaints, they wouldn't dare to express them now. This was someone who could go toe-to-toe with Li Qiushui. If even a fighting maniac like Li Qiushui was beaten like this, wouldn't they be in even worse shape?

Lin Ran initially thought that being an elder would be good enough, but she never expected to become the vice dean of Linghua Academy.

This was indeed a difficult choice. Lin Ran also hoped to become the vice dean of Linghua Academy and lead the academy to first place. That would be something that would make her very proud, and she could brag to everyone she met, "Ah, how did you know that under my leadership, Linghua Academy is the number one academy on the continent!"

Lin Ran also knew that accepting this task meant that his work would be very heavy and might delay his cultivation. Moreover, Lin Ran himself actually disliked managing affairs, mainly because there were too many. Sometimes in the family, he would slack off and simply pass the work to others. After Lin Hongjia became sensible, he even passed it on to Lin Hongjia.

Seeing Lin Ran's dilemma, Wen Bixuan suddenly said, "How about we compromise?"

"Oh, Dean, how do you propose a compromise?" Lin Ran asked curiously. There was a compromise?

Wen Bixuan said, "Then Lin Ran, you can be the vice dean for a year. After a year, if it's really not suitable, then you can become an elder. What do you think of that?"

"It can be like this?"

Lin Ran was taken aback. This sounded pretty good. If it really wasn't suitable, she could step down early. It was indeed a good option.

"Then I'll accept the position of vice dean!" Lin Ran smiled helplessly, then suddenly added, "If I have some radical reforms, will I be able to get your support, Dean? Otherwise, I'll be useless as a vice dean without a wife!"

Wen Bixuan nodded and pointed to Qiu Qingzi next to her, saying, "You can talk to Vice Dean Qiu about these things later. As long as it's for the good of Linghua Academy, I'll support it. If the academy's performance improves under your leadership, Lin Ran, I'll also reward you!"

"I'm satisfied with what you said, Dean. Shall we start tomorrow?"

Lin Ran reached out her hand and asked.

"Starting tomorrow!"

Wen Bixuan also reached out her hand, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

Lin Ran's journey to becoming the vice dean of Linghua Academy will begin tomorrow...

……

Chapter 100: The Problem of the Academy

Wen Bixuan asked her silly younger sister to take Lin Ran to find a place to rest and also take Lin Xi with her. But in no time, the three of them disappeared, faster than anyone else.

The academy's higher-ups also bid farewell and left one after another. Even Li Qiushui, who was injured, was told by Wen Bixuan to go to the academy to find a doctor specializing in treating injuries.

The huge training ground was suddenly left with only Wen Bixuan and Qiu Qingzi.

The two most powerful people in the academy walked and chatted as they looked at the messy training ground.

"Qianyi seems to care a lot about that Lin Ran. Did you tell her that Lin Ran is a married man?" Wen Bixuan turned to Qiu Qingzi and asked.

Qiu Qingzi nodded and replied, "She should know, and she should also know that Lin Ran has a child named Lin Chong. We have investigated him. His child is very talented and practices swordsmanship. He is currently at Tianli Academy and is outstanding among the new generation. He will be a strong opponent in the future competition among the five major academies."

Wen Bixuan stopped in her tracks, squinted at Qiu Qingzi, her expression calm, but her voice contained a hint of anger as she said, "Why do you think Qianyi would be interested in a man who is older than her, has a wife and children, and is also lecherous?"

"I…"

Qiu Qingzi didn't expect Wen Bixuan to throw such a deadly question at her. She had no idea why Wen Qianyi was interested in Lin Ran. If only she could understand.

"So many talented young men have confessed their love to her, and she usually just brushes them off with polite words. But when she met Lin Ran, she even dared to follow him into the dangerous triangle alone. She even tried to argue with me, her older sister, because of Lin Ran."

"If that's the case, Bixuan, why did you give Lin Ran the position of vice dean?" Qiu Qingzi was even more puzzled now. You're so angry, yet you still give this man who's about to steal your sister a high-ranking position and a generous salary. What's the point of that?

"The information you investigated earlier, didn't you give me a copy to see before? The fact that he managed to rebuild such a declining small family and grow to the Nirvana Realm is enough to demonstrate his ability."

Besides, our academy is also undergoing reforms, so let's give it a try. Maybe there will be some pleasant surprises, and perhaps Qianyi will see something I've never seen before.

Despite her anger, Wen Bixuan still highly recognized Lin Ran's abilities, and besides, Qiu Qingzi alone was not enough for the academy's reform.

She was just angry that her younger sister was infatuated with such an old man. Actually, she couldn't blame Lin Ran. She just didn't know what was wrong with Wen Qianyi. Was a young talent not as good as an old man?

"So that's it!"

Qiu Qingzi nodded. She had wondered why Wen Bixuan had suddenly given Lin Ran a vice dean position; it turned out she had such an idea.

"What if his reforms fail, causing losses to Linghua Academy?" Qiu Qingzi asked, staring at Wen Bixuan.

She knew that Wen Bixuan treated Linghua Academy like her own child, and her lifelong wish was to help Linghua Academy rise up and stop being the bottom-ranked academy that everyone talked about.

Hearing Qiu Qingzi's words, Wen Bixuan shook her head, then suddenly pointed to the large, sunken pit in the training ground and said, "If we were to compare that to our academy, what would it resemble?"

Qiu Qingzi was stunned. She frowned and thought for a moment before tentatively asking, "A slump?"

"We've already hit rock bottom, so why be afraid of failure? Since I'm going to reform the academy, I've considered the possibility of failure. This is a step we have to take!"

Qiu Qingzi stared at Wen Bixuan for a long time without speaking. After a while, her helpless voice echoed in the training ground: "You're so carefree. Fine, let's see if the next reform will lead Linghua Academy to destruction or rebirth. If it fails, that guy and I will be sinners whose crimes are beyond description!"

"I won't blame you. On the contrary, I feel a little sorry for you, especially Chief Lin, who inexplicably took on such a heavy responsibility!" Wen Bixuan sighed softly, holding Qiu Qingzi's hand.

“Then you can let Wen Qianyi marry into the family, and then you’ll be one of us. If she can’t be the head of the academy, she can go home and be the clan leader’s wife. You won’t have to worry about Qianyi’s happiness!” Qiu Qingzi giggled.

But soon Wen Bixuan picked him up like a chick and carried him to the inner courtyard.

Wen Bixuan looked at Qiu Qingzi kindly and said softly, "It's been a long time since we sparred. Now that we have a chance, I'll loosen up your muscles so you can break through to the eighth level of the Nirvana Realm as soon as possible!"

"No~"

……

The next morning, Wen Qianyi arrived early at Lin Ran's door, gently knocked on the wooden door, and said softly, "Senior Lin, it's time to get up. Today I'll show you around Linghua Academy!"

"Hey~"

The wooden door opened with a soft creak, and Lin Ran's voice rang out, "Elder Wen, why are you here so early?"

"I'm used to it, Senior Lin..."

Wen Qianyi wanted to say something more, but when she saw Lin Ran's current appearance, her ears suddenly burned. She tried to remain calm, but her voice trembled uncontrollably: "Senior, why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

"Xia Mi?"

Lin Ran looked down and realized she wasn't wearing a shirt. She quickly closed the door again, found some clothes to put on, and realized she had forgotten about it because she usually slept without a shirt.

After the door closed again, Wen Qianyi quickly covered her face and walked to the window in the corridor. She vaguely looked at her flushed reflection in the mirror and recalled the scene from earlier: "Her malty skin shone like the most gorgeous silk, flawless like a baby's, her muscles neither thin nor rough, each muscle was as if it were exquisitely sculpted."

This was the first time she had seen a man's body so closely. Yesterday, Senior Lin had used such a strong body to fight Elder Li in close combat. He was so powerful. She wondered what it would feel like to touch him.

"Don't think about it anymore, Wen Qianyi!"

Wen Qianyi quickly covered her face and silently chanted in her heart, taking a while to calm her agitated mood.

When Lin Ran came out again, Wen Qianyi was no longer acting strangely. She had a gentle smile on her face and began to introduce Lin Ran to Linghua Academy.

Originally, Qiu Qingzi and Wen Qianyi were supposed to take Lin Ran to familiarize herself with Linghua Academy today, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, Wen Qianyi will have to take on this difficult task.

First, they arrived at the outer courtyard of Linghua Academy. While showing Lin Ran around the outer courtyard, Wen Qianyi also introduced Lin Ran to the current predicament of Linghua Academy.

In summary, Linghua Academy currently faces three major challenges: poor student quality, insufficient resources, and mediocre teaching. The key issue is a lack of funds. If there were more money, they could continuously produce outstanding students. With outstanding students, Linghua Academy's reputation would rise, and they could gradually escape their bottom-of-the-class status.

The prosperity of Linghua City paled in comparison to other academies. Linghua City was the main source of income for Linghua Academy. When Linghua City declined, Linghua Academy also declined, and subsequently, it was stuck at the bottom of the rankings for many years.

"Maybe Li Yuhan can send some people over then..."

When it came to making money, Lin Ran immediately thought of Li Yuhan. This girl's ability to make money was top-notch; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to swindle so much "money" from him.

Why is it so lively over there?

When Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi arrived at a school path, they found it was very noisy ahead. A large group of people had formed a circle and were chattering about the battle taking place inside.

"They must be causing trouble again, bullying their classmates. I'm going over there..." Wen Qianyi was obviously not new to dealing with these kinds of things. As soon as she saw this large group of people gathered here, she could tell from their conversations that it was another case of bullying.

"Hey, don't panic, let's take a closer look and see what's going on!"

Lin Ran stopped Wen Qianyi's actions, as this was a perfect opportunity for him to learn about student life at Linghua Academy.

After whispering something in Wen Qianyi's ear, he pulled her into a deserted alley. A moment later, the two "women" emerged from the alley and swaggered into the crowd of onlookers.

When Wen Qianyi and Lin Ran crawled inside and saw what was happening, Wen Qianyi immediately flew into a rage, almost exposing her true feelings by shouting, "How could you...!"

Fortunately, Lin Ran reacted quickly and covered Wen Qianyi's mouth, making her only able to whimper. Their unusual behavior didn't attract the attention of others, as most people were focused on watching the drama unfold.

Within the group, led by a somewhat sharp-tongued girl, several girls of average appearance were together suppressing a silver-haired girl on the ground.

The mean-spirited girl in the lead was tugging at the silver-haired girl's undergarment, looking down at the girl's full breasts and sneering, "Oh my, not bad, not bad. Why don't you tear it off and let everyone see? You're using this slutty body to seduce my woman, aren't you!"
