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

Lin Ran:!

I've learned something new today. What was that shrewish, sharp-faced girl talking about? Trying to seduce my woman? Aren't you a woman yourself? And you're even gay? Holy crap?

"What do you mean by seducing women? I'm not like you, a pervert who not only likes women but also bullies others. You ruined Shuyan's reputation."

"You've made her so depressed that she's wanted to commit suicide several times. You've done such a beastly thing! I'll tell the dean, and you'll be expelled!" the silver-haired girl shouted angrily.

Whenever she thought of Shuyan's heartbroken appearance, the silver-haired girl couldn't help but feel distressed. The once lively and lovely girl had been turned into such a silent and taciturn person by these people.

"You're going to sue the dean, huh? I think you're asking for trouble. We don't need her life, but we must make sure she bleeds!" The mean-spirited girl shrieked, venting her anger and frustration, and ordered her men to start beating the girl.

"Stop, stop it!"

Wen Qianyi, who was standing next to Lin Ran, couldn't stand it any longer. Seeing the group making a move, she rushed out...

……

Chapter 101 First Day in Office

Lin Ran followed Wen Qianyi out, her eyes sharp as she looked at the girls who were bullying her. She released a bit of her powerful aura, pinning the girls to the floor where they could hardly get up.

He said coldly, "Students should help each other, but you ignore ethics and morality, shamelessly engage in promiscuous relationships, and even bully your classmates. You deserve to be expelled from the academy!"

Lin Ran spoke directly in her natural voice, and this stern male voice immediately caused a huge uproar. Everyone watching looked at the tall "woman".

The mean-spirited girl, unable to get up, strained to look up at Lin Ran, who was disguised as a "woman." She was still defiant and shouted in a shrill voice, "Where did you come from, man? How dare you disguise yourself as a woman and enter our Linghua Academy? You're dead when the elders arrive."

Wen Qianyi took a robe and draped it over the silver-haired girl, comforting her.

Hearing the bully's arrogance, a cold look appeared on her face. She directly removed her mask, revealing her beautiful and gentle face, which was tinged with anger.

Wen Qianyi looked at the bully and said coldly, "I am an elder. Who do you think is doomed?"

A group of female students: !

"Greetings, Elder Wen!" the girls greeted in unison.

Finished!

The bullies were now utterly despondent. They hadn't expected Elder Wen to witness everything. If they didn't do something, they might really be expelled.

They exchanged glances, then immediately raised their voices and cried out one after another to Elder Wen in heartbreaking grief, "Elder Wen, we know we were wrong, please give us a chance to make amends!"

"That's right, Elder Wen, please let us off the hook since this is our first offense. Otherwise, if my parents find out, I'll be beaten to death..."

"Elder Wen, we just..."

One by one, they were all trying to gain sympathy, which Lin Ran couldn't stand. Just a moment ago, they were as stubborn as titanium alloy, and now they're just saying "I was wrong"? Do they think I'm stupid?

Lin Ran also removed her mask and wig, revealing her true face.

He patted Wen Qianyi on the shoulder, indicating that he would handle the matter. Wen Qianyi then obediently walked to the side. All the female students stared wide-eyed, as if they had discovered something big.

Why would such a strange man come to Linghua Academy? It seems... this strange man has a higher status than Elder Wen? Who is he?

This question arose in the minds of these female students, and they were all eager to know the truth.

Lin Ran walked over to the silver-haired girl, patted her head, pointed at the bullies, and said softly, "Don't be afraid. Tell me the whole story word by word, without embellishing anything. If they are really as you say, I will stand up for you."

If you're worried that my words won't carry any weight, Elder Wen can tell me who I am.

The silver-haired girl stared blankly at Wen Qianyi. Wen Qianyi walked to the girl's side, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled, "To be bold, that is the newly appointed vice dean of the dean. He has more say than me and is also a Nirvana Realm expert. He is a very capable and good person."

Sis~

The female students gasped in shock, contributing to the greenhouse effect on the Kyushu continent.

Unexpectedly, this incident has brought to light a high-ranking member of the academy.

Those who felt even more desperate were the bullies. Given Lin Ran's behavior, it was clear that they would be expelled from the academy.

Some of them, who might have done something wrong, tried to run away in the chaos, but Lin Ran reacted quickly and said coldly, "Since you students have time to watch here, you must want to stay a little longer, right? Otherwise, if you sneak away, I'll group you with these bullies!"

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, many people dared not run away and listened quietly.

The silver-haired girl also mustered her courage and began to tell Lin Ran the whole story from beginning to end. Moreover, some of the girls present seemed to have also been bullied by these people. Now, with Lin Ran backing them up, they bravely stood up and denounced their crimes.

After listening to this, Lin Ran felt that the crimes of these bullies were simply too numerous to count. They directly destroyed other people's innocence, and did so with sticks and the like. That was really ruthless. Moreover, relying on their strength, they kept bullying and humiliating others. The methods they used were terrifying to Lin Ran.

This incident also shows that there are many areas in the academy that urgently need improvement. He suddenly realized that his task was truly important!

The news quickly reached Qiu Qingzi, who was furious upon hearing it. Soon, Linghua Academy launched a vigorous purge, removing all the cancerous elements from the academy as Lin Ran had requested.

Those guys' evil deeds are no different from the crooked ways of the dangerous triangle area. Why not just keep them around for the New Year?

Although Lin Ran continued to pay attention to this matter afterward, she was soon occupied by other things, the most important of which was the Inner Court Selection Competition.

This is basically a standard competition for all academies. This so-called inner academy selection competition is also a major event that Linghua Academy attaches great importance to.

Selecting talents to enter the inner academy might yield some promising individuals who could become prominent figures in the inner academy in the future. If they can win or perform exceptionally well in the competition among the five major academies, not only will the academy gain prestige, but the student will also gain tremendous opportunities in the academy competition. Unfortunately, in recent years, Linghua Academy has basically suffered crushing defeats in competitions with other academies. Not being completely shut out is already the best result they can achieve.

Lin Ran, the newly appointed official, took over the Inner Academy selection competition. With Wen Bixuan offering her strong support, Lin Ran simply increased all the rewards for the Inner Academy selection competition. One of the rewards caused a sensation throughout the entire Outer Academy.

The outer courtyard has many facilities to aid cultivation, such as spirit gathering arrays, gravity fields, and wooden dummy sparring. In the rest area of ​​the spirit gathering array, two girls huddled together, whispering to each other.

"Hey, did you guys know? The rewards and rules for the Inner Court selection competition were announced today. Can you guess what the first place prize is?"

"It'll probably be the same few dishes again, nothing new!" another girl said.

"This year is different! Do you know that very handsome vice dean? The prize for first place this year is to become his disciple!" the girl exclaimed dramatically.

"What? His disciple, a Nirvana Realm cultivator, is actually willing to take on disciples?" another girl said in great surprise.

The two's conversation seemed to light up the eyes of the silver-haired girl who was wiping her sweat in the back...

……

In Lin Ran's office, Wen Qianyi, who had come to join the fun, saw Lin Ran looking at the academy's documents and asked curiously, "Senior Lin, why did you choose to take on disciples? The reward is too good to be true!"

Lin Ran looked up from the annoying documents and at Wen Qianyi, who was sitting in a recliner drinking tea. She said helplessly, "Qianyi, I said you can just call me Lin Ran. It sounds weird to keep calling me Senior Lin."

"I think 'Senior Lin' sounds pretty good. I don't care, I'll call you that!" Wen Qianyi started acting like a child. Seeing her like this, Lin Ran smiled and didn't pay much attention. After all, it was just a name.

"You haven't answered my question yet?"

"I promised someone I would find her a successor, which is one of the reasons I came to Linghua Academy!" Lin Ran said casually as she picked up a brush and made some corrections to the document.

"what?"

Wen Qianyi's hand trembled slightly as she drank her tea, her eyes dimmed a little, and her voice became somewhat low: "I thought it was because of me... my reward that I came to Linghua Academy!"

There were some things she still didn't say.

Hearing Wen Qianyi's words, Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh and said, "It must be because of your reward! It's so generous that I had no choice but to come, especially since it's such a beautiful and alchemist Elder Wen!"

"Where is it!"

Wen Qianyi's face lit up with joy at these words, but she quickly realized she had been too eager, so she suppressed her smile and said, "How about I refine some pills as a reward?"

“If you have time, that’s fine too, but you can also slack off a bit. You can’t improve your alchemy skills by just sitting there all day. Also…” Lin Ran had maxed out his slacking-off skills. Just look at the documents he had on hand now; he had basically dumped a whole bunch of miscellaneous things on his subordinates.

The envelope I wrote to Li Yuhan should have arrived by now. Once Li Yuhan sends someone over, things will be much easier, and the reforms in Linghua City can begin to be implemented.

……

In the capital city of Anling of the Li Dynasty, at the headquarters of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, in the president's office, Li Yuhan, who was working, suddenly heard a report from her subordinate: "The vice dean of Linghua Academy has sent a letter, saying that it is an acquaintance of yours, President!"

"An acquaintance from Linghua Academy?"

Li Yuhan was stunned. She didn't remember anyone from that side. When did this familiar person appear? Could it be...? She suddenly remembered a bastard she hadn't contacted in a long time. She didn't even know if he was alive or dead. Could he have taken advantage of her and run away? What a bastard who didn't even leave his seed in the right place.

Although her mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts, Li Yuhan still raised her eyebrows and gestured for her subordinate to place the letter on the table.

After the subordinate left the office, Li Yuhan immediately opened the drawer next to it, pressed a few buttons, and a magic circle was set up in the room, making the small space private. She then began to clear the documents in her hands.

Li Yuhan carefully opened the envelope. When she saw the words on the letter and the keepsake inside, her eyes welled up with tears. She gently wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and murmured softly, "Damn bastard..."

……

Chapter 102 The Continental Academy Competition

Li Yuhan carefully read the letter Lin Ran sent, and could see from between the lines that it was all about asking her for help.

"This person... really doesn't understand romance at all!"

Li Yuhan muttered to herself, then picked up the token Lin Ran had given her and began to examine it. It was a round jade pendant. Li Yuhan rubbed it for a moment, held the pendant, closed her eyes, and pondered. After a while, she felt a strange fluctuation emanating from the jade pendant.

This made her open her eyes, frown as she looked at the jade pendant in her hand. After thinking for a moment, she placed the jade pendant between her eyebrows and used her soul power to explore its interior.

The next moment, Li Yuhan felt her soul power arrive at a mysterious space, and Lin Ran's figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Lin Ran!"

Li Yuhan's phantom image shouted excitedly and rushed over, trying to hug Lin Ran, but it passed right through her; it was just a phantom image.

Only then did Li Yuhan belatedly realize that this was the illusory soul image left by Lin Ran inside the jade pendant. The "Lin Ran" began to speak: "I thought you wouldn't be able to discover this secret. It seems that you should also be at the Spirit Transformation Realm now. Fox spirits cultivate really fast!"

"Hmph, if you ever come to me, I'll drain you dry and make you call me a vixen!" Li Yuhan thought angrily, but when she looked at Lin Ran's phantom, her eyes were filled with an uncontrollable longing.

Li Yuhan listened to the recording Lin Ran had left inside several times over, and after an unknown amount of time, she finally put the jade pendant down.

"I'll go to Linghua Academy and catch you, you bastard!" Li Yuhan said angrily, rubbing her temples.

The recent war between the Li Dynasty and the Jin and Yun Dynasties has reached a stalemate, and the Jinling Chamber of Commerce has been constantly being ordered around by the people fighting on the front lines. Sometimes it's driving Li Yuhan crazy. It's unclear whether these people are actually using the resources on the front lines. The stalemate is basically just a waste of money every day. Those royal children are dreaming of making a name for themselves, but they don't contribute a single penny. They only want the Chamber of Commerce to spend money to do them favors. Li Yuhan is now thinking of going on strike and quitting.

"Let my men go help Lin Ran first. You bunch of trash, trying to bleed me dry? You're dreaming!" Li Yuhan had already made up her mind. She wanted to let those guys know that her money wasn't so easy to take.

……

The inner court selection competition of Linghua Academy is also being held in full swing.

Because of Lin Ran's reward for taking on a disciple, this inner court selection competition was exceptionally lively. The huge competition venue was bustling with activity, filled with girls chattering and discussing the competition.

Lin Ran was also watching the game from a good spot in the stands, while Wen Qianyi, Qiu Qingzi, and some of the college's higher-ups and class advisors were also seated there.

When Lin Ran saw some promising talents, she would have the woman with long, light blue hair standing behind her take notes on which ones were outstanding and worth paying close attention to.

Today happens to be the round of 16 in the inner courtyard selection competition. At this moment, a battle is taking place in the arena. Lin Ran felt that one of the silver-haired girls looked familiar, so she couldn't help but ask, "Ruolan, what's that silver-haired girl's name?"
