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

As soon as he heard the door open, Yue Lei turned around hurriedly. When he saw Qiu Qingzi and Lin Ran, the flesh on his big face suddenly gathered together, and he forced out a smile that was not very pretty, and greeted them with a flattering smile.

"Ah, Vice President Qiu and Vice President Lin are here together. I am so excited!"

When Lin Ran came in, he saw Yue Lei who had squeezed in, and he leaned back in fear. He looked at Yue Lei's flattering appearance and said, "Yue Lei, has anyone ever told you that your smile is really scary!"

After hearing Lin Ran's words, the expression on Yue Lei's face froze, as if he was frozen in place.

Qiu Qingzi on the side had no scruples. She covered her mouth and laughed like a silver bell.

Yue Lei now realized that the other party was going to give him a warning today.

Yue Lei also came here to ask for help today. He laughed dryly a few times and changed the subject, saying, "You two, I came to Linghua Academy today to talk to you about the upcoming All-Continent Academy Competition!"

"Yue Lei, sit down first!"

Lin Ran patted Yue Lei's shoulder and invited Yue Lei to sit down. He and Qiu Qingzi sat opposite Yue Lei. Lin Ran talked about this and that for a while, but Yue Lei got back to the topic of the Continental Academy Competition.

"The situation of this continent-wide academy competition is very serious. I believe you two are aware of this. Canglong Academy has also contacted our academy privately, and I believe they have also contacted you."

"They hope that the five major academies will unite, but we two weak ones must also unite to prevent Canglong Academy from looking down on us. So the two of you..."

Yue Lei's words came out like beans, crackling. His words were very long, but the whole thing consisted of just a few words: "Let's work together."

Yue Lei had almost finished speaking. He picked up the hot tea poured by the maid and started drinking it. He looked at Lin Ran and Qiu Qingzi with anticipation, hoping that this time Linghua Academy could also work together with their Songling Academy.

Qiu Qingzi glanced at Lin Ran, and seeing that Lin Ran didn't say anything, she kicked Lin Ran on the table.

Lin Ran, who received the signal, turned around to look at Qiu Qingzi who was looking down, and cursed in his heart, "cunning vixen". He wiped his face, looked at Yue Lei with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "Yue Lei, I think there are many obstacles to cooperation at the moment. Why do you say that..."

Then, Lin Ran spoke for a long time, and Yue Lei and Qiu Qingzi were a little confused. It felt like Lin Ran seemed to have said a lot, but also seemed to have said nothing.

But Yue Lei was an experienced old comrade. After thinking it over, he knew that Lin Ran and the others wanted some benefits. For the sake of the children from Songling Academy who entered the competition, Yue Lei had to bear the pain and make sacrifices, but he also wondered if he could make less.

As a result, the two sides launched an invisible war over how much to take.

In the end, Comrade Yue Lei was defeated. He promised to deliver the supplies in a few days and then left in disgrace.

Of course, Qiu Qingzi and Lin Ran were very polite and even personally saw Vice President Yue Lei off.

The two looked at Yue Lei's hurriedly fleeing figure, glanced at each other, couldn't help but smile, stretched out their hands tacitly, clapped hands neatly, and said in unison:

"Happy cooperation!"

……

Yue Lei's supplies were quickly delivered to Linghua City, and Qiu Qingzi waved her hand and gave them all to Lin Ran for training those children. Lin Ran naturally made full use of these supplies, but he had to trouble the teachers and students of the Alchemy Department to make medicine together.

Fortunately, the Alchemy Department now has Ye Wanxi, a newly promoted fifth-level alchemist, as an external aid. As long as it is not a sixth-level elixir, it is more than enough to refine it, and the quality is much higher than that of Xin Zhiqing.

With the support of batches of elixirs, the ten children also grew in strength to varying degrees. Among them, Fu Yuemei, with the help of the fifth-level Gathering Spirit Pill, successfully condensed the elixir and entered the Spirit Pill realm. She also practiced the Hua Sect's inheritance and had Lin Chong to practice with her every night. Fu Yuemei's combat power was almost greatly improved.

Moreover, the training during this period also made the ten children recognize Lin Ran, and they were inadvertently instilled with Lin Ran's ideas.

The more these children feel that Linghua Academy is their home, the more some of them even think about staying in the academy to teach students and cultivate more and better talents for the academy.

Of course, this is all in the past...

……

Recently, Wen Qianyi received another batch of medicine refining tasks. After Lin Ran accompanied Wen Qianyi in dual cultivation and adjusted her state, Qianyi entered into a state of seclusion to refine medicine again.

And this mission with Mu Shishuang was back in his hands. Lin Ran originally thought that this would be a very troublesome thing, but Mu Shishuang was unexpectedly obedient, so obedient that he even became a little invisible.

When he was training Fu Yuemei and others, he never made a sound, there was always tea in his teacup, and the towel he used to wipe his sweat was always cold and clean.

It goes without saying that it was Mu Shishuang who did this. She was just a conscientious maid. He couldn't help but wonder what Mu Shishuang was trying to do.

One night, Lin Ran took the initiative to go to Mu Shishuang's door. Seeing the yellowish light in the room, he knocked on the door gently and shouted, "Shishuang, I'm Lin Ran, can you come in?"

There was no response for a while, but I heard some messy sounds inside, like someone was packing something up. He was also very patient, waiting there...

After a while, the door suddenly opened, and Mu Shishuang's delicate face like a porcelain doll appeared in Lin Ran's eyes in the moonlight.

It's a pity that she looks quite good this way, except that her eyes are like stagnant water. They are not as cold and indifferent as Shangguan Mengqing's. Instead, they are more like a state of confusion, without goals, and just living from day to day.

"Sorry, I was just packing up!"

Mu Shishuang apologized, then moved aside and said, "Come in!"

Lin Ran walked into the room and looked around. The room was clean and a little empty, but some flowers hanging on the wall and some flowers placed there made the room not too monotonous.

Mu Shishuang closed the door, walked to the table, and poured tea for Lin Ran skillfully. Even the water in the teacup was so precise that it was only two-thirds full.

Lin Ran sat down with great haste, looked at Mu Shishuang standing beside him, frowned, and said, "What are you standing there for? Sit down, I want to talk to you!"

Mu Shishuang looked up at Lin Ran, then sat down obediently.

Lin Ran: "..."

You'll listen to me if I speak bluntly, right? He suspected that Mu Shishuang had developed some strange personality because of him during this period of time.

……

102. Stand up straight

"You've been acting a little weird lately, like a maid every day. It's really a bit..."

Lin Ran couldn't think of any words to describe it for a moment. His feelings towards Mu Shishuang have always been complicated, but he still felt a little uncomfortable treating Mu Shishuang as a maid.

"You... don't like it?"

There was a trace of confusion in Mu Shi's eyes, and he asked with some confusion.

"You don't have to do this... I hope you can..."

Lin Ran couldn't help but pause. He hoped that Mu Shishuang could turn back into the white moonlight, but could she really change back?

"Hope for what..."

Mu Shishuang's voice became more urgent; she wanted to know the answer.

"I hope you can let go of your hatred towards me..." Lin Ran said.

"But I've let it go!"

Mu Shishuang's voice was a little higher than usual.

"I don't feel that you have let go of your hatred for me. If I neglect to do anything and unblock you, you will probably be eager to start torturing me, right?!" Lin Ran looked at Mu Shishuang and said calmly.

"I won't..."

Mu Shishuang shook her head, but as soon as she finished speaking, a voice came out from her heart, as if those ugly void evil creatures crawled out from the dark side of her heart and from hell.

"When my power is unlocked, I will return all the humiliation I have suffered!"

Such thoughts popped up in her mind, and even Mu Shishuang herself was shocked. Had she suffered any humiliation after being unblocked?

Thinking about it carefully, it's true that there isn't. Lin Ran and his friends brought her into this circle, taught her to be independent, to wash her own clothes, to heat her own water for bathing, and took her to eat many delicacies that she had never eaten before...

If you insist on talking about the humiliation she suffered, she took a bath, boiled water, washed her clothes, changed her clothes, and other things that should have been done by a maid. She did it all, but was it humiliation? She didn't know, but she was indeed happy with it.

Even when she was beaten by Lin Ran, she should have been angry and humiliated, but she felt very refreshed. The emptiness in her heart seemed to be filled all at once. She didn't want Lin Ran to stop even if he beat her until she was bloody.

Is she sick? Probably!

Maybe it was a physical problem that made her like this, or was it a drawback of sealing her strength? Would it be better if she unsealed her strength? Would she not be like this if she unsealed her strength?

Mu Shishuang didn’t know that she wanted to continue sinking, but also wanted to climb out. She was trapped in this quagmire, trapped in an endless cycle of struggle and sinking.

Lin Ran looked at Mu Shishuang who was standing there with his head down and not saying a word, and he knew that Mu Shishuang was being sullen again. Maybe after so many times, his temper had improved.

He walked over and tied up Mu Shishuang's hair, sat next to her, and said softly, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't keep it in your heart. How can I help you solve the problem if you don't communicate?"

"I…"

Mu Shishuang turned her head away, covering her face, feeling herself in physical and mental torture. She felt that she was very strange, but she didn't know where this strangeness came from, and how could she express it?

Lin Ran felt very tired. It was too strenuous to talk to this girl. He suddenly understood why psychologists had to have very stable emotions when facing such patients. He almost got angry again.

"Oh, forget it. If you don't want to, I won't force you to say it. Just go to sleep. I won't disturb you anymore!" Lin Ran sighed, stood up and walked towards the door.

"..."

Mu Shishuang watched Lin Ran leave. She tried hard to squeeze out some words to prove herself to Lin Ran, but in the end she could only watch the door open, and then...

"bump!"

The open wooden door closed again...

……

Ever since the conversation that day, Lin Ran no longer wanted to bring Mu Shishuang with him. He was afraid that his mentality would be affected by this low-pressure and problematic girl.

Fortunately, Qianyi completed the task at hand, and the task of taking Mu Shishuang fell back into Wen Qianyi's hands.

After a period of devilish training from Lin Ran, Fu Yuemei's group of kids have made significant progress. From being flustered in the beginning, they are now able to work together to kill the red scorpion that chased them everywhere last time.

The level of teamwork has also improved. If it were not for the lack of time, Lin Ran believes that these children should be able to improve even more.

They were going to set off for Canglong Academy, and then go to Qianlong Mountain in Qianzhou from the space teleportation array of Canglong Academy. Lin Ran was also the team leader this time.

The night before leaving, Wen Bixuan hosted a farewell banquet. It might sound surprising that the aloof dean would actually host a banquet and attend it in person.

Ten contestants including Fu Yuemei, some senior executives of Linghua Academy, as well as Mu Shishuang and Lin Chong also participated.

But the chef for this banquet was Lin Ran.

While preparing dishes in the kitchen, Lin Ran couldn't help but complain to Wen Qianyi about her sister: "Qianyi, your sister held a farewell banquet for us, why did she ask me to cook? Am I not the protagonist of the banquet? Why did she ask me to cook?"

Wen Qianyi was cutting vegetables, and she couldn't help laughing when she heard Lin Ran's complaints. She put down the knife, turned to look at Lin Ran and said jokingly, "The food cooked by the senior is very delicious. The dishes I usually bring to my sister have been eaten by her. What about the snow?"

"ice cream!"

Lin Ran added.

"Yes, ice cream!"

Wen Qianyi clapped her hands and said with sudden enlightenment: "Sister, I really like eating this recently. If you can add more spiritual fruits, I will like it even more!"

"Okay, after I finish cooking these dishes, I'll make ice cream!"

Lin Ran responded helplessly. He continued to stir the pot, picked up the spoon, and quickly threw the seasoning into it.

"Senior, I'll go to the front to greet everyone. If you need my help with anything, just ask Shi Shuang to come and call me!" After completing her tasks, Wen Qianyi shouted to Lin Ran.

"Go!"

"okay!"

Wen Qianyi walked out and passed by Mu Shishuang. She glanced at Mu Shishuang who was arranging dishes with tweezers, waved her little fist, and whispered, "Shishuang, thank you for your help!"

"No trouble!"

Mu Shishuang replied softly. She lowered her head to put the dishes on the table, then looked up at the kitchen door and saw that Wen Qianyi had left. She put down the tweezers in her hand, looked back at Lin Ran who was busy, and saw that Lin Ran had some sweat on his forehead. She picked up a clean ice towel and walked forward to wipe it for Lin Ran.

"Hey, Qianyi, this little bit of sweat..."

Lin Ran thought it was Wen Qianyi who helped, but suddenly he remembered that Wen Qianyi had just left. He turned his head and happened to meet Mu Shishuang's eyes.

"I...I just wanted to help you..."

Mu Shishuang took a few steps back awkwardly, holding the ice towel tightly in his hand.

"Thank you!"

Lin Ran said this and continued cooking. After all the beast meat in the pot was fried until fragrant, he used a ladle to scoop the meat and the juice in the pot into a plate on the side.

After the last dish was finished, Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He cleaned the pot and glanced around casually. Seeing Mu Shishuang still standing there, he was a little confused: "Shishuang, why are you still standing here?"

"I...have something to say!"

Mu Shishuang raised her head and looked at Lin Ran and said.

"what's up?"

Lin Ran asked while washing the pot.

"I think…"

Mu Shishuang took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, "I want to go to Qianzhou with you!"

"Boom!"

The brush in Lin Ran's hand could not help but fall into the iron pot. He turned around and looked at Mu Shishuang with a gloomy face, but he still endured the emotions in his heart. He asked: "Give me a reason!"

"I can help you. I've been to the former state before, and I want to see more different places. I won't cause you any trouble, I promise!"
