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

"Sister Qiu, do you still need our people to continue investigating over there?" the girl asked softly.

"Keep on finding out. Once you have any new information, give it to me immediately!"

"Yes!"

……

86. A good start

When Lin Ran returned to his own yard, he couldn't find anyone in the hall, which made him feel a little strange. He couldn't help but release his soul power to investigate. As a result, he found a large group of people in Mu Shishuang's guest room, which surprised him.

"It seems that Xiao Chong has met Mu Shishuang!"

Lin Ran walked towards the guest room, wondering in his heart whether Xiao Chong knew about Qi Qin?

But on second thought, Mu Shishuang would not say something that Xiao Chong should not know at this stage without his permission.

Arriving outside the guest room courtyard, Lin Ran saw the open door of the guest room. Several people were sitting around the table, drinking tea, chatting, eating candies and preserves, and looking at the rain outside, which was quite comfortable.

Lin Ran strode towards it and laughed from a distance, "You guys are so comfortable here!"

"senior!"

"Father!"

Wen Qianyi, Lin Chong and others couldn't help but stand up when they saw Lin Ran. Wen Qianyi even walked to the door, took the oil-paper umbrella from Lin Ran's hand, put the umbrella full of water by the wall at the door, and took out a clean towel and handed it to Lin Ran: "Senior, take it and wipe it!"

"it is good!"

Lin Ran happily took the towel, then walked into the house. When he came in front of Lin Chong, looking at his son whose facial features had become tougher, for some reason, some indescribable emotions surged in his heart.

He patted Lin Chong's shoulder gently and scolded him with a smile: "You little bastard, you have already reached the seventh star of the Dulingdan realm. Your progress is so fast that even your father is ashamed of himself!"

"But father, you are now at the peak of the Nirvana Realm. I'm afraid it won't be long before you reach the Dragon Realm. Father, you are still better than me!" Lin Chong said with a smile.

"You little brat, I'm much older than you. I'm already an old man!"

When Lin Chong heard his father's words, he couldn't help but stare at Lin Ran, who looked many times younger, with his eyes wide open. He shouted in surprise, "Father, if you go out like this, people will only say that you are my brother. How can you be called an old man in this state? Father, can you give me a portion of your anti-aging formula?"

What Lin Chong found most strange was his father's appearance. He seemed to be getting younger and younger, full of vitality. He didn't look like an old man at all.

When he saw him this time, he looked so young that he could hardly recognize that this was his father!

"I don't have any anti-aging formula. It's more reliable to ask your sister Wen than to ask me!" Lin Ran said.

The fact that he could become so young was also related to the opportunities he had along the way. Several consecutive physical transformations had raised his physical energy and upper limit.

"You two should sit down and talk!"

Wen Qianyi asked Lin Ran and his son to sit down, and then poured hot tea for Lin Ran.

The father and son had not seen each other for some time, so when they met at this time, they naturally had many things in their hearts that they wanted to talk about. Occasionally, Wen Qianyi and Ye Wanxi would interject a few words to serve as supporting roles.

On the contrary, Mu Shishuang was somewhat ignored, mainly because... she couldn't say much and there were too many things she didn't understand.

Her contact with the outside world these days has made her increasingly understand what it means to "see the world from a well". She is like a frog in a well, confined to her own world.

The father and son soon talked about the upcoming All-Continental Academy Competition. Their son was going to participate in this competition, so as a father, Lin Ran naturally paid special attention to the situation of this competition.

"Son, this continental academy competition is only open to students at the Lingdan realm. All academies in the continent are participating. Those guys from Canglong and Shengqiong academies are holding back their big moves. When you meet them, you must be extremely careful. Don't underestimate the enemy!" Lin Ran said.

"Father, I will keep it in mind."

Lin Chong nodded seriously, and then he continued, "Father, those who rank at the top of the continental academy competition are eligible to choose to join a super sect in the Central Region and Heart Province. I want to choose the Sword Sect to join!"

"Join the Sword Sect?!"

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment. The script for joining the Sword Sect was not quite the same as the original novel, but it seemed that the route now was already different from the original novel. The heroines either collapsed or were taken into his arms. He acted like he was showing off his own son.

Seeing Lin Ran's expression, Lin Chong quickly asked: "Father, is there a problem with joining the Sword Sect? If so, can I..."

Before Lin Chong could finish his words, Lin Ran interrupted him and said, "There's nothing wrong with joining the Sword Sect. The Sword Sect is one of the top eight super sects in Xinzhou, and it's also a sword-cultivating sect. You specialize in sword cultivation, so there's no sect more suitable for you than the Sword Sect!"

"Besides, it's a good idea for you to join the Sword Sect. Your father has some connections in the Sword Sect. I can ask her to take care of you. You won't be bullied. Maybe you can even become a core disciple in the Sword Sect!"

"Father, are your Sword Sect's connections so powerful?!"

This surprised Lin Chong, because when they were in the last secret realm, their Tianli Academy and the Sword Sect had formed an alliance.

According to the elders of the academy, the Sword Sect and their allies have a deep friendship, so they formed an alliance. Otherwise, why could the sword cultivators who performed well in Tianli Academy be recommended to practice in the Sword Sect? It was because of this "deep" friendship.

But Lin Chong also had a detailed understanding. No matter whether it was a sword cultivator who was recommended or one who entered through the Continental Academy Competition, it was actually very difficult for them to become the core disciples of the Sword Sect. There was no reason for this, it was just that there were too many powerful sword cultivators inside, and it was difficult to stand out.

The Sword Sect is indeed a paradise for sword practitioners, but that is all relative. For ordinary disciples at the bottom, the competition is greater and the stage is vast.

But the resources you get may not be as much as your original place. You are unfamiliar with the place and have no one to guide you, so it will be even more difficult to get out.

"It's not that great!"

Lin Ran waved his hand indifferently. It was indeed not that impressive. After all, Comrade Meng Qing was not yet the leader of the Sword Sect. Once Comrade Meng Qing took the position, he, as someone with connections, might be able to become the deputy leader or something!

Wen Qianyi, who was standing aside, rolled her eyes at Lin Ran who was acting like a bully. Lin Chong didn't know the relationship between Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing, but she knew it very well.

Those two people slept together and did that thing, and Shangguan Mengqing was the designated future leader of the Sword Sect, so their relationship was extremely strong.

"Will this add any burden to you, father?" Lin Chong asked worriedly.

He was afraid that his father would owe a favor to the other party in order to pave the way for him, and favors are much more difficult to repay than actual debts.

Lin Ran waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Chong, just work hard and choose the sword sect you like when the time comes!"

He doesn't have any burden at all. The only burden he has to worry about is probably what name Xiao Chong should call Shangguan Mengqing in the future.

"However, the Qianlong ruins discovered in Qianlong Mountain this time, the information we have learned about this secret realm is that this secret realm has many powerful inheritances, and those above the Nirvana realm are not allowed to enter. Other than that, there is no other news!" Lin Ran took a sip of hot tea and said with emotion.

He also wanted to give his son more information, but this was all he knew at the moment.

"Father, we will deal with this situation as it comes. When we enter the secret realm, we will just have to adapt to the situation!"

Lin Chong did not take the secret information too seriously. He firmly believed in his own abilities.

"Qianlong Mountain? Is it the one in Qianzhou in the Southern Region?"

Mu Shishuang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked a question when he heard this.

Lin Ran, who was standing by, thought that Mu Shishuang was also from the Spirit Clan, and must have read a lot of ancient books of the Spirit Clan. Perhaps there really was some key information. He couldn't help but say, "Shishuang, just tell me what you have to say!"

Mu Shishuang glanced at Lin Ran. She knew what Lin Ran was planning, but she didn't mind. Doing this could make up for the mistakes she had made, so it was worth it.

"I have read in ancient books that the Qianlong Mountain in Qianzhou of the Southern Region was an ancient battlefield a long time ago. But this ancient battlefield is quite special. It is one of the main battlefields where the races of the Jiuzhou Continent fought against the Void Evil Clan. Many powerful people have perished there, even some at the Saint level!"

Mu Shishuang's last words made the room suddenly become extremely quiet, even stagnant, and they didn't dare to breathe deeply.

Even a saint was buried in that ancient battlefield. How brutal was the battle with the Void Evil Clan back then?

Ye Wanxi couldn't help but raise her hand, as if she wanted to ask a question, which made Lin Ran laugh. He said with a smile: "Wanxi, we are just chatting, not answering questions in class. If you have something to say, just say it!"

"The atmosphere was so serious just now, I feel a little embarrassed!"

Ye Wanxi was a little embarrassed, and then she asked: "Does this mean that this secret realm will be very dangerous?"

"uncertain!"

Mu Shishuang shook her head and continued, "I don't know what the Qianlong ruins you are talking about are like, but what is certain is that Qianlong Mountain was once an ancient battlefield."

"According to the information you just told me, there are probably many tests left behind by powerful people in this secret realm. If you pass these tests, you may be able to obtain their inheritance or some secret skills. This should be a good place to train yourself."

"But that doesn't mean it's not dangerous. As I said just now, it's an ancient battlefield where the Void Evil Clan once fought against each other. The space there is fragile and very unstable, which can easily cause space turbulence and space cracks. There will also be many unexpected factors, so we still have to be very careful."

Lin Ran looked at Mu Shishuang with some surprise, then he patted Lin Chong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiao Chong, keep these things firmly in mind, maybe they can be used in the future."

"Yes, thank you..."

Lin Chong wanted to thank the other party, but how to address his mother's sister gave him a headache. He could not help but ask Lin Ran for help: "Father, what should I address..."

"Just call me auntie!"

Lin Ran looked at the somewhat embarrassed Mu Shishuang and smiled mellowly: "How about it, Shishuang, can you accept this title?"

"Can you say no?"

Mu Shishuang thought secretly that being called "Aunt" always felt a bit weird.

"Thank you, aunt!" Lin Chong said.

"No... no need, I didn't do anything..."

Mu Shishuang's face turned red. She felt a little ashamed to be thanked by Lin Chong. She had previously put Lin Chong's life in danger to Lin Ran. Now that Lin Chong thanked her, she felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing that it was almost dark outside, Lin Ran stood up and said, "It's almost time to cook. Chong'er will be back today, so I'll cook you a big meal. Qiu Qingzi will also come over to eat later. It's been a while since we've had such a lively time!"

Wen Qianyi also stood up and was a little surprised when she heard Lin Ran's words: "Is Sister Qiu coming too?"

"That girl was craving the broth I made, and she also helped a lot, so I should treat her to a meal!"

Lin Ran still understands the ways of the world. He can't just let others work for nothing every day and be treated like a slave, right?

"We really should treat Sister Qiu well!"

Wen Qianyi echoed, she also agreed with Lin Ran's idea.

"Let's get busy. Do you want to help?" Lin Ran said with a smile.

It was quite fun for everyone to work together in the kitchen, and he really enjoyed this kind of gathering with relatives and friends.

"Uncle Lin, I want to join!"

Ye Wanxi was the first to raise her hand.

"Father, I want one too!"

Lin Chong followed closely behind.

"Senior, please don't leave me behind!"

Wen Qianyi hugged Lin Ran's arm sweetly and said coquettishly.

Finally, only Mu Shishuang was left...

Mu Shishuang was a little scared when she suddenly caught everyone's attention. She whispered, "I don't know how to do anything... Do you mind?"

"Everyone has a first time, and everyone doesn't know how to do something. You can learn it. Do you think you can't learn it?" Lin Ran said softly.

"I…"

When Mu Shishuang didn't know what to say, a hand stretched out in front of her. The hand was white and slender. She couldn't help but look over. It was Lin Ran's hand stretched out to her.

"Try it!"

"it is good!"

Mu Shishuang subconsciously shook it, perhaps this would be another good start.

……

87. Ordinary life also has surprises

Today, Linghua Academy is still shrouded in gloomy rain clouds. There are lightning and thunder in the sky, and the water levels of nearby rivers have risen a lot due to the continuous heavy rain.

"I feel so dizzy!"

Mu Shishuang, who was in the guest bedroom, sat up from the bed, rubbing her brows. She was a little happy last night. She only remembered that she drank a lot of fruit wine, which was sweet and sour like a drink. She drank too much and passed out.

"Wine is really not a good thing..."

She murmured something in a low voice and looked down at her clothes. She didn't know when she had been changed into a new set. She didn't care much about it because it was either Qianyi or Lin Ran who helped her change them.

Mu Shishuang wanted to get up and wash up, and subconsciously looked towards the window of the room. She dragged her feet to the window and gently pushed it out. The naughty rain outside hit her face all of a sudden, and the coolness made her a little more conscious.

“It’s raining again…”

Mu Shishuang closed the window. She had seen too many rainy days and she didn't like rainy days because she couldn't go out and had to stay in the room. It would be great if she had the strength... But Lin Ran wouldn't agree...

Although there is a washroom in the room, there is no hot water. Since she learned to boil hot water in the kitchen and then bring it back to the room, Mu Shishuang has enjoyed the process very much. She can also use the extra hot water to make a pot of hot tea and eat the breakfast that Lin Ran put in the kitchen. She has begun to learn to enjoy life.

The oil-paper umbrella was placed on the left side of the door. Mu Shishuang held up the umbrella and walked towards the kitchen. On the way, she passed the yard where Lin Chong and his family lived. She heard some strange noises and couldn't help but curiously lean over to take a few looks.

Lin Chong was seen in the yard, practicing his sword skills in the pouring rain. There were no fancy moves, just repeated practice of the basic sword moves. His eyes were extremely determined, and he was so focused that he didn't even notice Mu Shishuang's presence, and he was still swinging the sword.

Mu Shishuang watched for a while and then left quietly, but the image of Lin Chong practicing sword was in her mind. This kid... seemed to be working harder than she had imagined.

She went to the kitchen to boil some hot water, then brought it back to her room. When she passed by Lin Chong's yard, she saw Lin Chong still practicing sword. She looked at him for a few seconds and then left.
