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

Lin Ran smiled helplessly. The contents of the letter might only be some of the problems. The real problems of the Li Dynasty might be more serious than this, otherwise the little maid would not have asked him for help.

Lin Chong thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Father, you can save people, but don't do anything to let Sister Wen...Sister Wen down!"

"You kid, are you starting to teach your father a lesson?" Lin Ran scolded with a smile.

But Lin Chong still looked sad as he said, "Father, I am not trying to teach you a lesson. The reason I didn't tell you about this last night was because I was afraid that Sister Wen would be sad when she heard it. Sister Wen is really a good person. She helped us a lot when we were in the secret realm..."

"Okay, I understand. Your sister Wen... is indeed a very outstanding girl. Father doesn't know how he has deserved her love. Don't worry, father will do it." Lin Ran said with a smile.

"I believe you, Father!"

.....

37. Leaving Linghua Academy

Lin Ran has been feeling uneasy after reading these letters. After all, he is not a cold-hearted guy. He cannot just watch the little maid ask him for help without lending a hand. If he didn't know, it is at least understandable, but if he knew but didn't save her, that is another matter.

Lin Ran, who was in the office, finally stood up and went to the back mountain.

"What, you want to take a leave?!"

Sitting in a bamboo house on the hillside, Qiu Qingzi spit out the tea she had just drunk. She stood up suddenly, not even bothering to wipe it off. She looked at Lin Ran in surprise and asked, "Why are you doing this? The Alchemy Department of Tianli Academy is still here for exchanges, your son and daughter-in-law are here, and Qianyi is here too. What are you going to do by asking for leave?"

In this regard, Lin Ran had already prepared words to deal with it. He said, "The Li Dynasty in my home has been fighting with the two surrounding dynasties for several years. Now it involves some of my friends in the Li Dynasty. I have to go back to save them. I haven't been back to visit my family for a long time..."

"That's it..."

Qiu Qingzi sat back on the bamboo chair, rubbed her temples, closed her eyes, and fell into deep thought.

The bamboo house suddenly became quiet. Sometimes wild birds outside the window were singing loudly, and sometimes the breeze blew through the dense leaves, choosing its own dance partner to dance its own dance. Being here in this unpolluted green mountain and clear water, it seemed as if the heart had calmed down.

Finally, Qiu Qingzi agreed to Lin Ran's request for leave, but Qiu Qingzi immediately said: "My agreement does not mean that the dean agrees. Wait for me to report to the dean!"

After saying that, Qiu Qingzi stood up, twisted her waist and walked away quickly from the bamboo house. If there was anyone who didn't want Lin Ran to leave the most, Qiu Qingzi would definitely be on the list. If Lin Ran ran away, she would no longer be able to rest easy!

Soon, Qiu Qingzi ran back dejectedly, slumped on the bamboo chair like a salted fish, responded to Lin Ran weakly, waved her hand and said, "Let's go, remember to tell Qianyi, don't let her worry!"

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be back to take over as soon as possible. There's no need to do this!"

Lin Ran looked at Qiu Qingzi's expression, walked up to her, patted her on the shoulder and said.

"Get out of here, you stinky old man!"

Qiu Qingzi shouted angrily.

Lin Ran held back his laughter as he left the bamboo house. Halfway through the journey, he finally opened his mouth and laughed out loud, making Qiu Qingzi in the bamboo house so angry that she picked up the cakes on the table and stuffed her mouth with them.

"I have to... face... those things again... wuwuwu, I don't want to... go to work!"

……

Lin Ran didn't have anything special to clean up. Ever since he had taken over so many forces in the Dangerous Triangle, he had also embezzled a portion of it himself. Now his pockets were full of confidence. It turned out that a man should be rich!

He went to the Alchemy Department to observe the students from Tianli and Linghua Academy and learn how to make medicine. Making medicine is undoubtedly a very time-consuming and patient task, but it is quite spectacular to see the flames burning with spiritual power.

Wen Qianyi was not stingy in sharing her knowledge with Tianli Academy. If she saw someone making a mistake in refining medicine, she would point it out and guide the students to come up with the correct solution.

When some students come up with new ideas, she will happily take notes. Perhaps this is teaching and learning from each other, with teachers and students influencing each other.

Lin Ran waited silently. When today's exchange activities were over, the students rushed out of the classroom as if they had been granted amnesty. Lin Ran also saw Ye Wanxi. She blushed and shouted to Lin Ran, "Uncle...Hello, uncle!"

"Still call me uncle?" Lin Ran said jokingly.

Ye Wanxi felt as if steam was coming out of her head. She shouted out of nowhere, "Dad?"

"Hey!"

Lin Ran responded, feeling very happy. He didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, his son would also have a wife.

He then asked, "Is there anything you want to bring back to your parents? I'm going to go back to the Li Dynasty and chat with your father to see how we can give you a grand wedding in the future."

"Ah... Uncle... Dad... why do you want to go back so suddenly!" Ye Wanxi couldn't help but exclaimed with her hands covering her mouth.

"bump!"

Wen Qianyi, who was still tidying up the classroom in the pharmacist's office, couldn't help but drop the jade bottle in her hand to the ground. She rushed to the back door of the classroom, stood in front of Lin Ran, and said anxiously: "Senior... why do you want to go back!"

Seeing this, Ye Wanxi was very sensible. She waved at Lin Ran, made a gesture, and then sneaked away.

Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi were the only ones left in the corridor of the Alchemy Department. The setting sun shining through the window in the corridor dyed the sky red and also brought a bit of sadness to the girl's pretty face.

Lin Ran took Wen Qianyi's hand, placed it in his palm and gently kneaded it. He looked at Wen Qianyi and said softly, "Yesterday, Xiao Chong brought me a letter from my family. The situation in the Li Dynasty has become confusing, and some of my friends in the Li Dynasty have also fallen into the quagmire. They sent me letters asking for help. I have to go back."

Hearing Lin Ran's words, Wen Qianyi couldn't help but pout, revealing a little girl's coquettish look and said: "You can go back, but you must come back early, and you can't flirt with other women or do anything else, do you understand? This is... This is a request that Meng Qing and I make to you!"

"How can I decide when I can come back? I don't know what exactly happened in the Li Dynasty. I can only say that I will come back as soon as I finish dealing with this matter, okay?" Lin Ran was not lying. He knew about the war between the Li Dynasty and the other two dynasties through the envelope, but he really didn't know why Li Yuhan was involved. Could it be a royal struggle?

"Stinky senior, go ahead!"

Wen Qianyi did not try to stop him. She shook off Lin Ran's hand and turned her back. She tilted her head back, trying hard not to let the tears fall from the corners of her eyes. She didn't know when she became so easy to cry.

She understood that Lin Ran had important things to do, and she was not the kind of woman who would make unreasonable demands. However, not long after these beautiful days, Lin Ran was about to leave, and across the state, which made her feel even more reluctant.

Lin Ran stepped forward and gently embraced Wen Qianyi in his arms, resting his head on Wen Qianyi's shoulder, and comforted her softly: "I know Qianyi is the best. Senior promised you that he would come back as soon as possible, and then take you back to my Lin family next time. What do you think?"

"In the Lin family?" Wen Qianyi murmured in a low voice.

"Yes, by then everyone will call you the clan mother, it will be so honorable!" Lin Ran said with a smile.

"Bah, you're not even a clue, I don't recognize you!" Wen Qianyi spat softly, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth did not match her tone. It seems that someone says one thing and means another!

"Hey, haven't we been together for a long time? Doesn't that mean what we did last night doesn't count?" Lin Ran shouted in surprise, then turned and left: "Then I won't be responsible!"

"you dare!"

Wen Qianyi angrily grabbed Lin Ran's hand and held it tightly around her waist. Her pretty face was slightly red, as if she had made a big decision. She pointed to her mouth and said softly, "I'll give you a reward tonight!"

"Is that fake?" Lin Ran said with a smile.

"real!"

……

The next morning, Lin Ran stood at the gate of Linghua City, looking back at Linghua City, which was showing the mottled traces of time under the shining of the rising sun. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sore in the corners of his eyes. Linghua Academy also carries many of his memories.

It would probably take a long time for him to come back after this trip, so he left quietly without notifying anyone. He didn't want to be watched as he left, especially by that clingy little girl Wen Qianyi.

Thinking of the "two-player team" game he and Wen Qianyi played last night, he suddenly laughed: "It seems that next time I have to make some popsicles for Qianyi to eat. It's not good for her to have good teeth!"

After saying that, he waved the whip in his hand, and the horse in his hand couldn't help but let out a long neigh, and took Lin Ran to gallop towards the distant forest path. Gradually, his figure merged into the swaying woods and disappeared without a trace.

On the city wall, she was wearing a light blue long skirt made of light blue silk fabric with a pattern similar to lilies embroidered with delicate silk threads, which showed off her gentle and soft temperament to the fullest.

This was the gift Lin Ran gave to Wen Qianyi before he left this morning. In fact, Wen Qianyi was already awake at that time. After Lin Ran left, she went to wash up and then put on this set of clothes.

When she saw herself in the mirror without makeup and wearing the dress, she was stunned. Then she thought about rushing to the city gate to see if she could see Lin Ran off and let Lin Ran see how the dress looked on him. But she was still a step too late and could only watch Lin Ran's departing back.

This made Wen Qianyi feel a little dejected. She stomped her head on the ground lightly, looked at the end of the forest road with red eyes, and murmured in a low voice: "Smelly senior, you run so fast... Have a safe journey!"

Wen Qianyi stared at Lin Dao blankly for a while before slowly leaving the city wall.

.....

After Lin Ran left Linghua City, he headed towards the direction of Shengqiong Academy. This not only required him to cross the dangerous triangle, but also many dangerous areas.

I don’t know whether this is good or bad for Linghua Academy. On the one hand, it is far away from these big forces, but it is also difficult to exchange for good resources.

On the other hand, their Linghua Academy only needs to face the pressure from small and medium-sized forces in the dangerous triangle area. There are no dangerous restricted areas around, and there are good places like Binglingyu Lake, which is also considered pretty good.

Shengqiong Academy is the most powerful force in the entire Jiezhou, and its Shengqiong City is also the most prosperous and wealthy in Jiezhou. The space tunnel there can not only lead to Liezhou, but also to Tianli Academy and Canglong Academy, and the connection is very wide.

"I wonder if I can build a space tunnel for Linghua Academy in the future. This would be very convenient, and it would also provide Linghua Academy with an additional source of income!" Lin Ran couldn't help but think while he was on the road.

But he soon found his own whimsical idea laughable. To build it, Linghua Academy would need strong people above the Immortal Realm and with a profound grasp of spatial power to help.

Oh, there is one in Linghua Academy as well...but that one can't even open up a space tunnel. It might even destroy the academy.

38. Li Yuhan's Story

Liezhou, Li Dynasty, the capital is Anling.

Today, the royal capital Anling is more desolate than before. Even the formerly prosperous central city area has seen a sharp drop in the number of people on the streets. This situation is largely related to the war.

The Li Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty and the Yun Dynasty went to war at the same time. Although those two sides were not as strong as themselves, there was the Demonic Weapon Sect behind them doing evil, and there were many forces involved.

The Li Dynasty was not united from top to bottom, but many people took advantage of the war and jumped out because they could not bear the loneliness.

In this situation of internal and external troubles, the emperor of the Li Dynasty was not a ruthless person. The three strongest families in the imperial capital, the Hua family, the Zhan family, and the Mo family, were also eyeing him covetously, which led to the decline of the Li Dynasty and its predicament.

The royal family fell into trouble, and Li Yuhan, as a member of the royal family, was also involved in the turmoil. She controlled the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in the entire Li Dynasty and the richest force. The war did not drag down the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, but made it richer.

Whether it is to seize the throne or to overthrow the Li Dynasty, the Jinling Chamber of Commerce is a target that must be won over, befriended, or even defeated.

But unfortunately, Li Yuhan, who was once ridiculed as a vase, showed her strength in the Lingdan realm in an assassination. This instantly made everyone realize that this young woman who controlled such a large chamber of commerce was not just a "vase".

Everyone began to change their thinking, especially the members of the royal family. Some ambitious princes frequently contacted Li Yuhan and even begged their father, hoping that his father would grant them a marriage with Li Yuhan.

In response to this, Li Yuhan asked her mother, the current eldest princess Li Jinling, to express her protest. She was not only Li Yuhan's mother, but also the sister of the current emperor. The emperor naturally listened to what Li Jinling said and did not agree to any marriage.

I thought the matter might end there, but not long after, the Yun Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty brought the Demonic Weapon Sect and said they wanted to negotiate with the Li Dynasty.

Emperor Li Tianyi was naturally happy. They were dragged into a protracted war, which had caused problems within the dynasty. The three major families and many princes were ready to make moves. If there was a ceasefire, the situation in the dynasty would be eased, and then they could start to crack down on these guys.

But this is where the problem lies. This group of people came to negotiate, seemingly intentionally, and asked the president of Jinling Chamber of Commerce to be present as well, asking to do business together.

Li Yuhan instinctively felt that something was wrong and was about to refuse, but since Emperor Li Tianyi had shown up, Li Yuhan could not refuse, so she attended as scheduled.

At this banquet, Jin Zhenpeng, the eldest prince of the Jin Dynasty, was stunned by Li Yuhan's beauty when he first saw her. He fell in love with her at first sight and immediately asked Li Tianyi to grant them a marriage. Then his words were full of threats. If Li Tianyi did not grant them a marriage, he would continue to fight.

Li Tianyi's expression also darkened. Li Yuhan was a member of the royal family. She had the power of the Lingdan realm and owned the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. How could he allow Li Yuhan to marry into the Jin Dynasty? What was the difference between this and handing over the Li Dynasty to others?

Although he was incompetent, he was not so incompetent. He found an excuse to shirk responsibility, and the negotiation meeting ended in a bad mood. But a few days later, news came that Nanshan Pass had been breached, and the enemy marched straight into the heartland of the Li Dynasty and attacked Linshan City, the largest city in the southern part of the Li Dynasty.

Nanshan Pass was supposed to be defended by the Hua family, one of the three major families. However, the head of the Hua family faced a joint attack from the two dynasties and the Demonic Weapon Sect. Seeing that the other side had several Nirvana Realm powerhouses, he directly chose to open Nanshan Pass. Without even hesitating for a second, he fled in panic with the Hua family's troops.

Seeing that the army was about to reach Linshan City, Li Yuhan went alone to the opposing army to find the leader of the Jin Dynasty's army, the eldest prince Jin Zhenpeng, to negotiate. No one knew what happened in between, but it was only known that not long after, the joint army of the Jin Dynasty withdrew and returned Nanshan Pass to the Li Dynasty.

But this was not without cost. Just after the withdrawal of troops, Jin Zhenpeng, the eldest prince of the Jin Dynasty, announced his marriage to the president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce of the Li Dynasty.

After a while, a grand wedding will be held in Mingcheng, the capital of the Jin Dynasty, and people from all walks of life are welcome to attend. They also promise that they will no longer continue to fight with the Li Dynasty, and the two sides will turn hostility into friendship.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately swept the entire Li Dynasty. Even Li Jinling only realized that her daughter had made such a crazy decision after learning the news.

On the night when the incident broke out, Li Jinling hurriedly rushed from the palace to the Jinling Chamber of Commerce and rushed to the study where her daughter was. As soon as she entered, she saw her precious daughter sitting at her seat reading documents. When she saw her, she looked up and smiled, "Mother, why are you here?"

Looking at the charming smile on her daughter's face, even she, as a mother, was almost stunned, not to mention those young people outside. Her daughter also has a secret.

In the past few years, she has not only been able to practice, but has also quietly reached the Lingdan realm. Her appearance has reached the point of being a disaster and a beauty that can topple a country. She has that vixen-like aura that seems to be able to attract a large number of men to fall at her feet with just a wave of her hand. And this is indeed the case.

Li Jinling closed the door and activated the soundproofing array in the room. She came to Li Yuhan, looked at her closely, and said with a worried tone: "Girl, do you know what's happening outside now?"

"Of course I know, the news of the marriage, right!"

Li Yuhan seemed to have foreseen it and said, "I knew that he would be eager to announce it after returning. He probably said that he would hold a grand wedding in Mingcheng in a month or two, right?"

"How can you be so calm? The emperor is so anxious that he asked me to come over and ask you why you did this!" Li Jinling continued, "I am your mother here. Just tell me why you did this. Even if you agree, how can those guys withdraw their troops given their greed? You know this better than me, right?"

"So... this is just a delaying tactic. If I haven't found a solution by then, mother... I will send you away from Liezhou." Li Yuhan said, looking at the worried look on her mother's face.

"what!"

Li Jinling stood up suddenly and exclaimed, "What stupid thing are you trying to do? I won't allow you to do anything that will lead to your own death."

"Mother, you know better than me that the current Li Dynasty is rotten to the core."

Li Yuhan stood up, walked slowly to the window, and slightly opened the curtains. She could see at a glance that even in the middle of the night there were still some strange vendors on the nearby streets, their eyes fixed on the attic in her direction.

After a few glances, she closed the curtains again, looked at Li Jinling who looked troubled, and continued: "The princes are fighting among themselves and trying to win over external forces. In fact, our royal family is the lamb to be slaughtered. How many people in the Nirvana Realm are there in the three major families, the Yun family, the Li family, and even the Demonic Weapon Sect?"

"Then how many are there in our Li Dynasty?"

Li Yuhan held up two fingers and said, "You two are barely strong enough. One of them is very old, and the other is only the current emperor, who is also weak. Can we really resist? If I had not agreed at the beginning, the troops would have reached our Anling long ago!"

"But you can't...your little lover knows, right? Let him take you away!" Li Jinling asked.

"he?"

Li Yuhan was stunned, a hint of desolation flashed across his eyes, and even his tone became a little lower: "I can't contact him, he might be practicing, I heard that he has reached the Nirvana realm!"

"But what can a Nirvana Realm cultivator change the situation? You should think about whether you can let him take you away! Although there are many spies, you can definitely leave with the help of a Nirvana Realm cultivator. At that time, the worst that can happen is that we old people will suffer!" Li Jinling smiled helplessly.
