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

"I knew you could do it. You're worthy of being raised by your sister!" Xin Zhiqing smiled softly. Her hands pinched Xiaoxi's chubby face, kneading it into various shapes. The girl's face was still so white and tender and so easy to pinch.

Xiao Xi looked helplessly at Xin Zhiqing pinching her face and reminded her again: "Sister Xin, there are people waiting down there. If you don't go down, they will rush up!"

"Oh, what a bummer!"

Xin Zhiqing let go of her hand and said helplessly: "Xiao Xi, go to my closet and get that purple cheongsam. It should be conservative, but it should show off your figure. Those old men like this kind of style!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Xi nodded and went into Xin Zhiqing's bedroom to look for clothes...

In the lobby on the first floor below Guangming Hall, a fat middle-aged man wearing an alchemist's robe with the Medicine King Sect emblem on his chest was pacing back and forth anxiously, obviously becoming a little impatient.

When some customers came in, their faces suddenly changed when they saw the appearance of the middle-aged man, and they dared not come in to buy medicinal herbs and pills. After all, Guangming Hall is right here, and you can come anytime, but you only have one life!

The middle-aged man was getting a little impatient and was about to rush up, but at this moment, a crisp voice came from above, and a figure appeared at the stairs.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Elder Yan. I just spent some time dressing up. I hope you won't mind!"

Xin Zhiqing walked down the stairs gracefully. Her graceful swaying figure and exquisite curves were fully displayed in the purple cheongsam embroidered with delicate patterns. She did not show off deliberately, but just the occasional exposure of her icy skin was enough to make people fascinated and want to explore that unknown mysterious place.

Elder Yan, who was about to rush forward, saw Xin Zhiqing coming down, and his eyes did not hide his naked possessiveness. He said, "How could I mind? Women dress up to please themselves. Hall Master Xin is dressing up like this to make me, Yan, proud!"

"Who gave you the face, you shameless guy!"

Xin Zhiqing cursed in her heart, but with a charming smile on her face, she said, "Thank you for the compliment, Elder Yan. Please lead the way!"

"Haha, Master Xin, please come this way. I have prepared the carriage for you!" said Elder Yan.

When they got outside, they saw a carriage already parked there. But Xin Zhiqing had expected this. This shameless guy only prepared one carriage for two people to sit in and make the ride bumpy. He was trying to take advantage of them, right?

Seeing that this shameless guy was still inviting her, Xin Zhiqing pointed to the Guangmingtang carriage that drove out of the alley and said, "Elder Yan, I can just sit in my own carriage. It's too crowded for two people!"

"Master Xin..."

Elder Yan wanted to say something, but Xin Zhiqing had already gotten into the carriage, which shattered Elder Yan's idea. He had no choice but to get in the carriage and shouted at the servant: "Hurry up and drive! What are you looking at?"

The servant did not dare to say anything more and could only drive the horse and the carriage towards the Yaowang Sect.

……

Lin Ran originally thought that the guy from the Medicine King Sect at the city gate was exaggerating a bit, saying that it was difficult to find a place to stay in the entire Dan City. Lin Ran took Wen Qianyi to ask about several rooms, but they were all fully booked. In desperation, the two had to rely on the badge to go to the "Luofeng Pavilion" specially prepared by the Medicine King Sect.

This place was obviously very famous. After Lin Ran "friendly" asked some guys to ask for directions in the alley, he found out the location of Luofeng Pavilion.

Luofeng Pavilion is near Yaowang Sect, located in the most prosperous place in the entire Dan City. It is also very close to the auction venue where the auction will be held in a few days. And the surrounding area is now tightly guarded by the guards of Yaowang Sect, and any irrelevant people who approach will be driven away.

When Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi arrived nearby and showed their badges, a guard immediately took Lin Ran respectfully to Luofeng Pavilion.

With Lin Ran's soul power, although not as strong as Wen Qianyi's, he can keenly feel that there are many strong people in Luofeng Pavilion. There are many strong people in Nirvana Realm alone, and even more in Lingdan Realm.

In front of the gate of Luofeng Pavilion, there was an old man from the Yaowang Sect wearing an alchemist's robe, greeting the powerful people coming and going. Judging from the attitudes of those powerful people, the status of this old man seemed to be not low.

Wen Qianyi, who was standing by, saw the old man and sent a telepathic message to Lin Ran, saying, "The old man standing at the door is a sixth-rank alchemist. I wonder how good he is?"

"Hahaha, anyway, my Qianyi is definitely the best. In the future, Qianyi will become an imperial alchemist!" Lin Ran leaned close to Wen Qianyi's ear and said.

Wen Qianyi was happy and a little shy after hearing this flattery. She gently hit Lin Ran and said coquettishly, "I won't accept your sugar-coated bullets, you big liar!"

"Hey, these are all my heartfelt words!"

Lin Ran felt a little wronged. He had hoped that Qianyi would become the female version of Emperor Yan, with heavenly fire in one hand and alchemy skills in the other, and then achieve the great emperor. Then he would hug her thighs tightly and feel happy just thinking about it.

……

15. Gathering of strong people

Lin Ran and the other person came to the old sixth-rank alchemist. The old man had a warm smile on his face and said politely, "Can you two let me see your tokens?"

"of course can!"

Lin Ran handed over the badge given by the old man at the city gate. The old man checked it and a strange look flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He handed the badge back and said with a smile: "I am Mei Su, the elder of the Medicine King Sect. I look unfamiliar to you two. May I know your name?"

"My surname is Cao. I came to Jiezhou from another big state to travel. When I happened to enter the dangerous triangle, I heard that you were holding an auction that only happens once in a thousand years, so I thought of coming over to see it for myself." Lin Ran said with a faint smile.

"Mr. Cao, I think this auction will be worth your trip."

Elder Mei smiled and waved to the side. A beautiful maid who had been waiting came forward and said, "Arrange a good room for Mr. Cao!"

"Yes!"

The maid bowed respectfully and said.

Elder Mei stroked his white beard, looked at Lin Ran and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao, just tell her whatever you want."

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!"

Lin Ran bowed and smiled, then let the maid take him into Luofeng Pavilion.

After Lin Ran and the others left, Elder Mei called a guard with a serious face and whispered, "Go and ask Elder Yan to find an opportunity to test Mr. Cao who just came in."

"Yes!"

The guard responded and quickly rushed towards the Yaowang Sect's headquarters.

Elder Mei didn't quite believe that these two guys, whose depth even he couldn't figure out, would come to the Dangerous Triangle Area to attend the auction honestly.

"Let Yan Jidao find a way to test those two..."

Led by the maid, the two entered Luofeng Pavilion, which once again refreshed Lin Ran's understanding of the financial strength of Yaowang Sect. The pavilions, terraces, small ponds and rockery that could be seen everywhere in Luofeng Pavilion were all made of rare and expensive materials. The fish in the pond for viewing could actually produce spiritual energy, and those unknown beautiful flowers were also spewing out spiritual energy.

Even though there is no spirit gathering array in Luofeng Pavilion, it is still full of spiritual energy. Taking a deep breath makes people feel extremely comfortable and refreshed.

They arrived at a large and luxurious hall that looked like a ballroom, where people of all kinds were scattered around in an orderly manner, sitting in groups according to their power. Some who were familiar with each other sat together. Lin Ran sensed the aura of several Nirvana realms among them. It seemed that it was not an easy place to get along.

When the maid brought Lin Ran to the door of the hall, she turned around and looked at Lin Ran, bowed and asked respectfully: "Mr. Cao, do you need to sit here first?"

This maid was also wearing a cheongsam with an opening at the chest, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, a groove was revealed.

"You little maid, you have bad intentions!"

Lin Ran secretly complained in his heart, looked in other directions, and said, "Take us to the room first!"

"Ok!"

The maid said this and led the way towards the aisle on the right. Only occasional figures were seen along the way, and their strength was basically at the Lingdan level. When passing some places, Lin Ran could even vaguely hear some indescribable sounds coming from a distance.

It seems that these guys are very energetic. Even though they come to participate in an auction, they don't forget to exercise and keep fit.

The maid brought Lin Ran and the others to a courtyard. In this courtyard, there was a small bridge and flowing water, as well as an antique house. The maid went forward to open the door and activated the entire courtyard with her waist badge. A light blue shield was faintly lit in the courtyard. The maid explained: "This is a magic circle to prevent others from accidentally breaking in. If you don't want it, you can close the magic circle."

"Sir, do you need me to run water for you to bathe?" the maid asked.

"Ahem... No need to be so troublesome, just go wait outside!" Seeing Wen Qianyi's expression becoming increasingly cold, Lin Ran started coughing quickly, and sent this somewhat showy maid to wait outside, while closing the door of the house.

Wen Qianyi didn't say anything, but walked around the whole house, then returned to the living room table and sat down. Lin Ran quickly found some tea and poured it for Wen Qianyi, smiling cheekily, "Qianyi, you're so tired after walking so much, have some tea!"

"Remember me now?"

Wen Qianyi picked up the tea and took a sip, then said expressionlessly.

Lin Ran understood immediately, and quickly came behind Wen Qianyi, kneading her shoulders, and then leaned close to her ear and said, "I have always had you in my heart, Xiao Qianyi. If you don't believe me, how about I take out my heart and show it to you?"

"Take it out and let me see..."

Lin Ran: "..."

Qianyi baby, this is a bit embarrassing for you, senior.

However, Lin Ran remembered a little toy. He used the retractable sword to tease Lin Hongjia before, and later used it to tease Shangguan Mengqing, but the big ice block didn't react at all. He would definitely succeed today.

Lin Ran took out the retractable sword and placed it in front of Wen Qianyi, then looked at her affectionately and said, "Qianyi, today I will show you my burning heart for you!"

Lin Ran raised the retractable sword in his hand and stabbed it towards his chest. Lin Ran covered his chest and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Wen Qianyi was stunned by this scene. Her eyes turned red and she hurriedly squatted down beside Lin Ran, crying, "I was just joking, why did you take it seriously, senior? Hurry up and seal the wound with your spiritual power, and then..."

Before Wen Qianyi finished her words, her red eyes watched Lin Ran take away his hand covering the wound. Not to mention the wound, there was not even a trace of blood. Lin Ran made a heart gesture to her with a playful smile. Wen Qianyi was so angry that she slapped the retractable sword away and walked aside angrily: "Stinky senior, you are already in your forties, and you are still playing such childish tricks!"

Lin Ran came behind Wen Qianyi and gently hugged her waist. Wen Qianyi struggled for a while, but finally allowed Lin Ran to hug her. Lin Ran leaned close to Wen Qianyi's ear, exhaled hot air, and said slowly: "I'm sorry to make Qianyi worried. Is this okay? How about punishing the senior and practicing with you?"

"Bah, you stinky senior, that's not a punishment, it's just asking you to...ah...put me down, I'm mad, I'm really mad!"

Wen Qianyi felt her body suddenly lifted into the air. Lin Ran picked her up by the waist and carried her onto his shoulders.

Looking at Wen Qianyi who was struggling to get down, Lin Ran smiled and patted Wen Qianyi's round breasts. A crisp sound was heard, and he felt the soft and delicate touch in his hand.

Wen Qianyi moaned, her pretty face flushed and she remained silent.

Seeing Wen Qianyi like this, Lin Ran rushed into the guest room with Wen Qianyi with a playful smile. Of course, they were just practicing.

……

Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi stayed in their room and never came out, leaving the Medicine King Sect no chance to test them. But as more and more powerful people arrived in Dan City in the past few days, the Medicine King Sect's attention was diverted away from Lin Ran. It seemed that the other party was not here to cause trouble, and he had been hiding and keeping a low profile, so there was no need to waste time on him.

On the contrary, some famous strong men in the Dangerous Triangle Area and even some guys from the academy came over, which forced Yaowang Sect to be vigilant. They almost sent out their elite troops to maintain order in Dan City and asked people from Xingyun Pavilion and Lingbao Sect to come over to help.

Luofeng Pavilion is now full of strong people. In one of the courtyards, there are five or six people sitting in the living room. A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes looks at the young man sitting opposite him with his back straight like a sword and says with a smile: "Xiao Chong, it seems that after going to the bottom of Tianli Mountain, your strength has improved a bit. You should be the number one in our inner courtyard now!"

"Dean, I don't dare to claim to be the number one in the inner courtyard. I'm just lucky!"

If Lin Ran was here, he would recognize at a glance that this was his good son Lin Chong. Maybe even Lin Ran didn't expect that Lin Chong would come to this auction.

Hearing Lin Chong's words, Wen Ling, the dean of the inner courtyard of Tianli Academy, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Good luck is also a kind of strength. There is no need to be too modest. Young people should have the vigor of youth."

A middle-aged man with thinning hair, who was also the chief alchemist of Tianli Academy, Chen Sheng, who was at the sixth level, took a sip of tea, spat out the tea foam, looked at Lin Chong unhappily and said, "This kid ran away with my beloved disciple, and he has a close relationship with her sister. His vitality is stronger than you think, Dean."

Lin Chong scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Mr. Chen, we have been together before we were admitted to the hospital!"

"I don't care. I don't know how you got in touch with Miss Wen from Linghua Academy. You are not allowed to take my apprentice over there!" Chen said angrily.

Seeing that Old Chen was still like this, Lin Chong couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He had once proposed to go to Linghua Academy, intending to visit his father and take Wanxi with him to learn skills from Sister Wen, but was opposed by Old Chen.

Wen Ling also knew about this. He couldn't help but tease Chen Lao and said with a smile: "You are still brooding over what happened back then. That girl defeated you at the exchange meeting. You still remember it!"

"Hey, Wenling, you bastard!"

Mr. Chen was furious. He didn't expect Wen Ling to expose his past.

Only then did Lin Chong realize that it was Sister Wen who defeated Old Chen back then. No wonder Old Chen was very unhappy about Wanxi going there to learn martial arts.

When Elder Chen saw Lin Chong's strange look, he angrily said, "Lin, don't look like you're trying to hold back your laughter. Anyway, I won't let my apprentice go with you. That girl Wen beat me because she had the Heavenly Fire. There was also news about the Heavenly Fire at this auction.

When the time comes, Wenling, you take it down for me, and I will go and subdue the Heavenly Fire, and then we will have another alchemy competition. I will definitely not lose!"

Wen Ling looked at Old Chen who was fuming and glaring, and he said helplessly: "You old man, why are you competing with a group of young people? This time our goal is still the mysterious auction item of the Wisdom Tree. If the information about the sky fire is not expensive, I will get it for you. Don't think that the academy's resources will bleed for you."

"Tsk, old man, I also have property, I will do it myself when the time comes!" said Old Chen.

Lin Chong suddenly looked at Wen Ling curiously and asked, "Dean, what is the use of this mysterious auction item? Why are so many powerful people gathered here?"

This time, Lin Chong was brought here by the dean to see the world. When he arrived in Dancheng, he really didn't expect that there was such a luxurious place in the Dangerous Triangle, and such an exaggerated event, which was even more exaggerated than the one held in the Jinling Chamber of Commerce of the Li Dynasty.

……

16. The auction is about to start

“It is said that the mysterious item is a treasure from the Wisdom Tree, and the Wisdom Tree is full of treasures. Let’s take its most common wisdom leaf as an example!

Just add a few leaves of wisdom to ordinary water, and you will feel clear-headed soon after drinking the tea. No matter what martial arts you learn, it will be as if you have divine help..."

Wen Ling introduced the treasure of the Tree of Wisdom with a smile, and Lin Chong, who was listening at the side, began to feel a little familiar. Why did the feeling of drinking the water soaked with the wisdom leaves feel the same as the tea that his father gave him before he started practicing?

His throat was a little dry, so Wen Ling took a few sips of tea and continued, "In short, such a treasure cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of our enemies. Otherwise, if a strong man emerges from the other side, the first to bear the brunt will definitely be our Tianli Academy."

Lin Chong actually didn't quite agree with Wen Ling's statement. If a top expert who could compete with the academy really appeared in the dangerous triangle, the first to suffer would definitely be Linghua Academy where his father was.

"I don't know if my father will come this time, but it's better not to come." Lin Chong thought secretly. This time, even the dean of the inner courtyard of Tianli Academy was dispatched. The dean is a figure at the level of Dragon Transformation. With such a figure joining in, the top masters of other forces will definitely not be absent. After the auction is over, there will definitely be a bloody storm of killing and robbing treasures.

……

In the headquarters of Yaowang Sect, in one of the luxurious council halls, half of the people were Yaowang Sect high-ranking officials wearing alchemist robes, while the other side was filled with high-ranking officials from Xingyun Pavilion and Lingbao Sect. The three forces gathered here for the auction that would be held in a few days.

On the side of the Nebula Pavilion, a beautiful woman wearing a dark blue robe with a nebula pattern on it looked at the sixth-level alchemist Mei Su from the Medicine King Sect across from her. She tapped her slender fingers on the table and frowned as she said, "The signs released at this auction are really beyond imagination. They have attracted all the old forces in the dangerous triangle area, and also attracted the guys from the five major academies. Can you, the Medicine King Sect, control it?"

Elder Mei said in a loud voice: "Master, please rest assured. Since we have invited you and your colleagues from Lingbao Sect, we must have made all the preparations. We only need to sit back and watch the fight. When both sides are defeated, we can reap the benefits."

"Is it true that nothing can be researched out from the fragments of the heart of the Tree of Wisdom?" The leader of the Nebula Pavilion asked unwillingly. This was related to the legendary treasure, the Heart of the Tree of Wisdom. It was said that possessing it would allow one to reach the realm of a sage, a state that was illusory yet fascinating.

Mei Su looked at the Pavilion Master of the Nebula Pavilion with a smile and said, "Pavilion Master, we asked you to study it before, but you couldn't find any information about the Heart of Wisdom in it.
