Lin Chong was just about to make tea for his father, but this task was snatched away by Mu Shishuang. He was a little surprised as he watched Mu Shishuang's skillful operation.

After hearing his father's question, he answered belatedly: "Father, the training facilities I went to in Tianli Academy are the top-notch ones. They were also opened for me by the Great Elders. Normally, I need to spend a lot of high-level spirit stones to practice."

Lin Ran suddenly realized, but it made sense. His son was the protagonist, so naturally he would become a rising star wherever he went.

"Father, why did the other party suddenly come to apologize and give us such a large villa?"

Lin Chong was very curious about this question, which was why he stayed, because he wanted to know the answer.

"oh?!"

Lin Ran paused while washing the tea, and handed it to Mu Shishuang. He shook his sleeves and said thoughtfully, "We often say that no one comes to visit a temple for no reason. The other party treated us so well, they must need us, so they gave us some benefits. It's not hard to guess their purpose. They probably want the secret realm to use our Linghua Academy."

Lin Chong was startled and blurted out, "Then... aren't Yuemei and the others in danger?"

Lin Ran looked at his son with a half-smile and said, "Are you so worried about me?"

"No, no, father, I...I still have Wanxi!"

Lin Chong blushed, scratched his head, and responded awkwardly.

Lin Ran smiled. He took the tea that Mu Shishuang had poured and took a sip. He stared at the rockery beside him and said in a deep voice, "If you have the ability in the secret realm, take care of Yuemei and the others. Father still told you before, be flexible and act according to circumstances. Be timid when you should be timid and act when you should act. Do you understand?"

Lin Chong's eyes became resolute, and he responded to Lin Ran firmly:

"Father, I will definitely get a place in the Sword Sect, and bring Yuemei and the others back in one piece!"

Lin Ran patted Lin Ran's shoulder with great satisfaction.

"I believe you!"

……

111. Do you hate me?

Lin Ran initially thought that their Linghua Academy was the first to arrive at Cangshan Yunge. To Lin Ran's surprise, on the second day, he met Vice President Yue Lei who came to visit.

Lin Ran looked at the fat man standing in the yard with a surprised expression. He shouted, "Hey, Yue Lei, why are you here?"

Yue Lei in the courtyard saw Lin Ran at the gate of the house, pointed at Lin Ran, and said with a resentful look like a resentful woman, "Lin Ran, you are not a human being!"

"Am I a human being? Do you want me to take off my pants for you to see?" Lin Ran retorted.

Yue Lei stepped back in shock, staring at Lin Ran with wide eyes, and said in horror: "Lin Ran, do you... still have a crush on Long Yang?!"

"I'm not interested in you, fat bastard!"

Lin Ran waved his hand and walked up to Yue Lei. He asked curiously, "When did you come to Cangshan Yun Pavilion?"

"It's a little earlier than your Linghua Academy..."

Yue Lei counted on his fingers, remembering the agreement between the two parties, and asked: "Why are you here so late? Don't we all leave at about the same time? Why haven't I seen you all?"

"We left the dangerous triangle and stayed there for some time. It's impossible that you could see it!" Lin Ran glanced at Yue Lei and continued, "Are you also the highest level in Cangshan Yun Pavilion?"

Yue Lei nodded, looked around subconsciously, pulled Lin Ran into the pavilion, and used soundproofing methods.

After making sure everything was correct, Yue Lei looked at Lin Ran solemnly and said, "Canglong Academy is trying to bribe us!"

"When we came here, a child in my team was injured. Since we were about to reach Canglong Academy, I wanted to ask Canglong Academy to find a better alchemist to take care of the child so as not to affect his participation in the competition. Guess what?" Yue Lei said.

Lin Ran held his chin, looked at Yue Lei sleepily, and said slowly: "Did Canglong Academy find the best alchemist for you?"

"Yup!"

Yue Lei clapped his hands, his tone became more excited, and he said, "I am very surprised that they directly invited the sixth-level alchemist from Canglong Academy to treat us and also moved us to the best branch courtyard. The spirit gathering array and training facilities there are much better than those in our academy."

"Isn't this bribery?" Yue Lei shouted.

Seeing Yue Lei's bright eyes like lanterns, Lin Ran asked back with a puzzled expression: "It is indeed bribery, so what's next?"

"Won't our students be in danger in the secret realm?" Yue Lei asked in surprise.

Lin Ran thought to himself: You stinky boy disturbed my sweet dream early in the morning just to get me to talk, right? You stinky boy are really bad!

"At worst, I can just create another record for the fastest elimination. As long as it's better than Haruko Biqiu, it'll be fine!" Lin Ran said indifferently.

"But…"

Yue Lei wanted to say something but Lin Ran kept pushing and shoving him. After pulling for quite some time, he finally drove the annoying little fat boy out of his own courtyard.

Lin Ran also called the cheongsam maid and instructed: "Remember, if the fat guy who leads Songling Academy comes over, don't let him in!"

"Yes, sir!"

The maid nodded and retreated.

Lin Ran returned to the house and was about to go back to his room to sleep a little longer. When he passed by the training area, he saw Fu Yuemei and others in the yard exercising in an orderly manner using the training facilities. The spiritual power in the sky was rushing towards the sky above the yard frantically, which was quite spectacular.

"I hope these kids can seize the time and become stronger!"

Lin Ran smiled, stopped to look for a moment, then turned and left.

He has done what he should do, and now it is up to them.

……

About half a month later, people from Tianli Academy and Shengqiong Academy also came here, and the team leaders were all at the Dragon Transformation Realm level. This was the foundation of the top three academies. Their Songling Linghua only had the dean who was at the Dragon Transformation Realm, but they had more than one person at the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Tianli Academy and Shengqiong Academy also moved into Cangshan Yunge, and they were the highest-level academies when they first arrived. If it weren't for the fact that Canglong Academy wanted to win over Linghua and Songling for this competition, it is estimated that these two unlucky academies would have moved into a slightly inferior one together.

Now that Tianli Academy was here, Lin Chong was able to return to the team smoothly.

Because of Lin Chong, Lin Ran had a chat with Wen Ling, the dean of the inner courtyard of Tianli Academy who led the team this time. Previously, in the secret realm of Jingyue Holy Emperor, Wen Ling had specifically asked Lin Ran to take care of the students of Tianli Academy.

This time, Wenling also wants Lin Ran and other participating students from Linghua Academy to join forces with Tianli Academy. Moreover, with the relationship with Lin Chong, the cooperation between the two parties should be a natural outcome.

But Lin Ran did not agree, or rather, he agreed in a very obscure way.

Wen Ling is also a veteran. Seeing Lin Ran like this, he immediately understood Lin Ran's thoughts. After their conversation, a piece of information about the conversation between the leaders of Tianli and Linghua that ended in an unpleasant mood was delivered to Lin Yi's desk.

Lin Yi, the dean of the outer courtyard of Canglong Academy, couldn't help laughing when he saw the information. He looked at the thin old man with white hair and beard sitting opposite him, handed the letter in his hand to him, and said, "Grand Elder, take a look at this letter!"

The old man called "Grand Elder" took the letter and read it quickly. His cloudy old eyes flashed with a gleam of light and the smile on his face made people feel a little scared.

He threw the letter on the table, looked at Lin Yi, and said teasingly: "Lin Yi, what are you going to do?"

Lin Yi tapped the table, thinking in his mind.

In his heart, he actually didn't care who Tianli Academy would recruit to form a group. He was just worried that there would be factors that would hinder his plan. If they could grasp such a thing in the secret realm this time, their Canglong Academy would be the biggest winner of this competition.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi already had the answer in his mind. He replied: "In the face of absolute strength, everything is just a clown!"

"A jumping clown...haha, I hope so. The vassals of the super sects are also here to participate this time. If you are not careful, you will be courting death." The great elder said calmly.

"Don't worry, Great Elder. This time, Canglong Academy will still be the winner!"

There was a fierce light flashing in Lin Yi's eyes, and the restless ambition was boiling in his heart. This time in the secret realm, he would take it down by any means necessary!

……

"Is Canglong Academy inviting us to hold an exchange meeting together?!"

Lin Ran, who was in the room, received the message brought by the maid. He couldn't help but stand up and walk around the room.

He was thinking, what will Canglong Academy do in this exchange meeting?

But on second thought, if he were in the position of Canglong Academy, he might not be so aggressive towards a small fry like Linghua Academy, as that would affect his own plans. So what exactly does Canglong Academy want?

Lin Ran felt that the Canglong Academy had most likely discovered something in that secret realm. After all, the Canglong Academy was one of the forces involved in the excavation of the secret realm at the beginning, and it had more information in its hands than them.

"Da da~"

The sound of footsteps approaching from far away outside the door brought Lin Ran back to his senses. Lin Ran raised his head and looked outside the door, and the door was pushed open.

Mu Shishuang walked into the room with the moonlight, like a fairy walking on the moonlight, holy and cold.

But Lin Ran was not in the mood to appreciate it. Seeing Mu Shishuang push the door and walk in without making a sound, he couldn't help but say, "Mu Shishuang, you always walk in without knocking. What if I'm taking a shower? Wouldn't you have tarnished my innocence?"

It was the first time that Mu Shishuang heard such a statement. Could it be that men also had innocence? She didn't quite understand.

Lin Ran saw Mu Shishuang standing there expressionlessly, knowing that the other party didn't quite understand, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you came to see me, what's the matter?"

"I can't sleep, and I want to chat with you!" Mu Shishuang said.

Lin Ran: "..."

You are almost the same as that guy Su Shi, "So I went to Yun Pavilion in Cangshan Mountain to look for Lin Ran. Lin Ran had not slept yet, so we walked in the courtyard together."

Seeing that Lin Ran didn't say anything, Mu Shishuang closed the door, sat down in front of Lin Ran's desk, poured two cups of tea, placed them in front of Lin Ran, and just stared at Lin Ran with his big eyes.

Lin Ran was a little scared after seeing this, so he had no choice but to sit down and start his evening conversation with the naughty girl Mu Shishuang.

Yes, they talked not only tonight, but also more and more often during the time they stayed in Cangshan Yunge. Sometimes, this little girl even stayed here to sleep. If it weren't for the side-sleeping position, Lin Ranke would have slept outside.

It was very tiring to talk with this girl at night. Mu Shishuang seemed to have a hundred thousand questions and would always find unexpected points and keep asking questions.

If there is a debate, this girl will come in handy. She can ask the other party a series of questions and make the other party become autistic.

Chatting till late at night, Mu Shishuang yawned several times and her eyelids began to droop. Seeing this, Lin Ran quickly said, "You are sleepy too, go back to bed!"

"do not want!"

Mu Shishuang refused very straightforwardly. She lay on the table, her eyelids drooping with fatigue. She looked at Lin Ran and suddenly said, "Lin Ran, I have another question!"

"Just ask!"

Lin Ran waved his hand and urged him. After he answered the question, he immediately blasted the girl out and dragged him to chat until the early morning.

"Lin Ran, do you hate me?" Mu Shishuang said softly.

These light words made Lin Ran pause for a moment in his action of knocking on the table. He didn't know why Mu Shishuang suddenly asked her this question. When he looked over, Mu Shishuang had fallen asleep.

Lin Ran shook his head, and at the same time, he felt relieved. He didn't know how to answer such a question, so he decided to just be an evader for the time being!

He walked forward and picked up Mu Shishuang in a princess hug. After picking up Mu Shishuang, Mu Shishuang subconsciously put her arms around Lin Ran's neck and leaned against Lin Ran's chest. Her peaceful sleeping face was one of the few things that made Lin Ran feel that Mu Shishuang was adorable.

Holding Mu Shishuang, Lin Ran pushed open the door. Mu Shishuang's bedroom was in the yard on the side of him, only about ten steps away.

After entering Mu Shishuang's room, Lin Ran walked towards the bedroom. Unexpectedly, there were candles lit on the table in the bedroom. The warm yellow candlelight illuminated the room, and on the table, there were many books scattered there.

Lin Ran put Mu Shishuang on the bed, took off her shoes and covered her with a quilt. When Lin Ran was about to leave, he noticed the books. Curious, he walked to the table, picked up the open book and started reading.

What surprised him was that this book was not some miscellaneous book, but a collection of love letters he and Qiqin wrote to each other every day back then.

"Why did I throw it to this girl?"

Lin Ran was stunned, turned around and looked at Mu Shishuang who was sleeping soundly beside the bed, feeling a little confused. Perhaps it was because he threw out all the books in the first place!

He flipped through it casually, but got goose bumps instead. He put the book back on the table and left Mu Shishuang's room carefully.

Lin Ran walked alone in the courtyard, looking up at the incomplete moon in the sky, thinking about the question that Mu Shishuang had asked him tonight.

"Hate? Maybe, or maybe... it's almost gone..."

Lin Ran couldn't help but murmur in a low voice. He himself was not sure of the answer. It was really frustrating!

……

112. Go and have a look

Canglong Academy invited the leaders of various academies to the outer courtyard of Canglong Academy, a place specially used to entertain distinguished guests, and held a meeting before going to Qianzhou.

Actually, not much could be discussed in this meeting.

Everyone knew the core purpose of the meeting very well. It was nothing more than Canglong Academy wanting to win over all parties. However, cooperation was one thing, but the issue of how to divide the spoils and who to command after entering was not something that could be resolved with just a few words.

Who knows that some academies may seem to agree on the surface, but actually do something else behind the scenes?

Everyone has their own little plans in mind. Even if the purpose of this meeting is achieved and several parties are united, the situation will be completely different when they get inside.

After the meeting, Lin Ran, Tian Li and Song Ling had a private chat and decided to do the same as they did in the Jingyue Holy Emperor Secret Realm. The three of them would unite and cooperate with each other if they met in the Secret Realm.

The meeting also confirmed the trip to Qianzhou, which was scheduled for seven days later, and gave all parties some preparations before departure. The implication was that they would go to Canglong City for a stroll and buy some items. They also sent an invitation to the Canglong City auction to each academy, hoping that all parties would come and do some shopping.

It can only be said that Canglong Academy has a very loud plan. Although Lin Ran does not think that Canglong Academy will come up with any good items for auction, if there really were any, they would have beaten the drums loudly and the pedestrians walking in Canglong City could hear them.

But Fu Yuemei and the other girls had rarely attended any decent auctions, so Lin Ran planned to take these kids there to take a look.

On the day of the auction, when Lin Ran was about to leave, he thought of Mu Shishuang, so he walked to Mu Shishuang's door, knocked on the wooden door, and shouted, "Shishuang, we're going to Canglong City to attend the auction. Are you going?"

There was no response from the room for a while. After a while, the wooden door opened and Mu Shishuang, rubbing her sleepy eyes, appeared in front of Lin Ran.

"Just woke up? Why did you go to bed at this hour?"
