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

Lin Ran was a little curious. Usually Mu Shishuang was reading at this time, so why was he sleeping today?

"I finished reading all those books, and just wanted to lie down and rest for a while, so I fell asleep!"

Mu Shishuang yawned as she walked into the house. She poured two cups of tea, handed one to Lin Ran, and drank it herself. Suddenly, she looked up at Lin Ran and asked, "What did you just say to me?"

Lin Ran took a sip of water, pointed outside the door, and said with a smile: "I'll take you to the auction. Do you want to go? Yuemei and the others are waiting outside!"

Mu Shishuang nodded, drank the water quickly, took Lin Ran's half-filled cup of water, put it back on the table, and then pulled Lin Ran out.

Lin Ran looked at Mu Shishuang who was walking in front of him and couldn't help but say, "Don't be so anxious, the auction will not start for some time!"

"Yuemei and the others are waiting there!"

Mu Shishuang said without even turning his head.

This surprised Lin Ran a little. He subconsciously said, "Have you... also begun to learn to pay attention to other people's feelings?"

Mu Shishuang's steps suddenly stopped. She turned around and stared at Lin Ran with her quiet eyes. When Lin Ran was sweating profusely, she glanced away and said with a evasive look: "I...I will change too!"

After saying that, Mu Shishuang suddenly let go of Lin Ran's hand and walked quickly outside.

Lin Ran was a little stunned by this scene. He shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Who cares? Change is a good thing!"

……

Lin Ran and others went to the auction at Canglong Academy without even having to prepare any means of transportation, as Canglong Academy had already made all the arrangements. There was already a neat convoy waiting in front of Cangshan Yunge. The carriages were exquisite in style, and the interiors were both luxurious and comfortable.

Lin Ran brought a group of little ones to the door and happened to meet Dean Wen Ling of Tianli Academy and others. He also saw his own son in the team, who was chatting with his classmates from Tianli Academy. After seeing Lin Ran, he secretly greeted him.

After Lin Ran nodded in response, he exchanged a few words with Wenling Academy and then boarded the carriage belonging to their Linghua Academy. After all, the two parties were not on good terms now and had to keep a distance.

Lin Ran was sitting in the carriage. Besides Mu Shishuang, there were also Fu Yuemei and her two good sisters traveling with him. When all the young ladies got together, there was a lot of laughter and joy.

Looking out the car window at the street scenes of Canglong City, they were whispering and pulling Mu Shishuang into the sister group. Lin Ran couldn't join in their conversation and sat there alone, occasionally looking outside and taking a sip from the wine jug, feeling quite comfortable.

Mu Shishuang noticed that Lin Ran was alone. She sat towards Lin Ran and stretched out her little hand to take away Lin Ran's teapot. Lin Ran, who was thinking about something, noticed the movement beside him. He subconsciously took a look and was frightened. He quickly took the wine pot in his hand.

He stared at Mu Shishuang and gestured: "You are not allowed to drink, you can't drink!"

Mu Shishuang stretched out his hand firmly, and Lin Ran had no choice but to turn his back and replace the wine with juice. Anyway, the girl couldn't drink it.

He handed over the kettle in his hand, which looked very similar to a wine jug. Mu Shishuang raised his head and took a few big gulps. He also wiped his mouth with his sleeve like others did, handed the juice back to Lin Ran, and gave Lin Ran a look.

Lin Ran felt like a hero who had drunk a big glass of wine.

He looked down at the kettle filled with juice and thought to himself, "If this girl knew that she was drinking juice, would she still be so cool?"

He wanted to give this girl a nickname "Juice Killer", which sounded quite funny.

The auction house set up by Canglong Academy is worthy of Canglong City, the largest and most prosperous city in the state. This auction house is even more magnificent than the one built by Yaowang Sect. It is built above the valley, with a certain height and covers a very large area. The decoration style continues the ancient style of Cangshan Yunge.

What surprised Lin Ran even more was that there was a waterfall near the entrance of the auction hall. Although it was not as magnificent as a "falling three thousand feet straight down", it also gave people a sense of wonder at the ingenuity and magic of craftsmanship.

From the stairs on both sides of the waterfall, you can go up to the auction house located above. As soon as you arrive at the gate, you will be invited by a group of maids with delicate looks and elegant cheongsams to enter through the back door and go all the way to the private room in the auction house.

Moreover, every few steps, there would be guards from the Canglong Academy armed with weapons, whose strength was at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. The boys and girls behind Lin Ran looked surprised and wanted to shout out, but this luxurious and exquisite place was quite quiet, so they just kept their mouths shut.

"Mr. Lin, this is your private room. If you need anything, I'll be waiting outside the door. You can come to me anytime!"

The maid leading the way spoke as she bent over and bowed. This elegant cheongsam also had a bit of a trick. The hollow design on the chest made Lin Ran see an abyss when she bent over.

This suddenly reminded Lin Ran of the saying, "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares back at you."

The man who had seen all of this suddenly nudged Lin Ran with his elbow, causing Lin Ran to come back to his senses. He coughed and said, "Let's go in and take a look first!"

Lin Ran took the lead and pushed the door open. Mu Shishuang looked at Lin Ran's back and suddenly understood what the book said: "Men are all perverts. They can't walk when they see beautiful women." It seems that Lin Ran is no exception, but...

Before entering the door, Mu Shishuang took a look at the maid's appearance and compared it in her mind: "She is not as pretty as me, but why doesn't she lose her mind when she looks at me? Could it be... that she still hates me?!"

The maid noticed someone was watching her and she couldn't help but look over subconsciously. When she met a pair of cold eyes, she was so scared that her body trembled. She quickly lowered her head and put away all the evil thoughts in her mind.

Lin Ran, who came into the private room, didn't know all this. He was walking around the room at this time, and then he went to the transparent glass to look. Their position was not far from the central auction table, and the view was excellent. The seats on the field were also filled up one after another.

Lin Ran thought to himself, "It seems that this auction is not as bad as I imagined!"

He asked the reserved children to sit down and comforted them, "Don't envy such a place, and don't be so reserved."

"When you become powerful warriors, there will be plenty of places like this where people will invite you. Practice hard, and if your fists are strong enough, you can go anywhere!"

Just a few simple words made Fu Yuemei and the others' reservedness disappear completely, and they were finally no longer so cautious.

The reason why Fu Yuemei and the others behave like this is also related to their experiences.

According to Lin Ran's investigation, these kids basically came from small families and small places. When they came to Linghua Academy, they were already the best in their area.

The cultivation resources in each place are different, and Lin Ran is very clear about this issue both in the past and now. So for Lin Chong, even though Lin Ran knows the plot, he still tries his best, hoping to give Lin Chong a better environment and more resources to cultivate this child into a talent.

He didn't know his parents' hard work before. It was not until he became a parent himself that he realized that he had become what they were like and understood them. However, when he came to Kyushu Continent, he lost the opportunity to repay them.

He even had to endure the loneliness and confusion when he first arrived in Kyushu Continent, the unwillingness to accept the limitations of his talents, and the frustration of giving up, and then starting over again now.

He saw his past self in these children. When he had just left the small Linshan City, he realized how big the world was. The first time he went to the auction house where every inch of land was valuable and the decoration was luxurious, he felt the same as them.

Because of this, he also hopes that these children can grow up and at least go a little further. The Kyushu continent is huge and life is long, so they need to see more!

Isn't the purpose of life to see more?

……

113. Bluestone Square

"Wow, it's actually a Heaven-level weapon. The one I use is only the lowest Earth-level one!"

"High-level earth-level martial arts, high-level earth-level, did you see it, Xiao Zhuang!"

Maybe it was because they entered the soundproof room, or maybe it was Lin Ran’s comforting words that made these children start talking again.

Until the end of the auction, Lin Ran felt a buzzing in his ears, but they were just there for fun, and as for spending money, even though Lin Ran saw some good ones, he didn't buy them.

It's not that he has no money, he definitely has money. With Qianyi, a wealthy seventh-rank alchemist, and the resources he obtained from clearing the dangerous triangle area, he is definitely a wealthy landlord.

It is true that this Canglong Academy auction is not as good as the once-in-a-century auction of the Yaowang Sect. After going to an auction of that level, watching these auctions again feels very boring. It is better to go back to bed and sleep.

But when Lin Ran saw the excited faces of these children, who were discussing what they were doing as they rode back in the carriage, he also felt that this auction was indeed worthwhile, as it gave these children a chance to experience the world.

After the auction ended, he practiced hard for two or three days, and then set off for Qianzhou.

On the morning of the day of departure, there was once again a neat convoy parked outside Cangshan Yunge. People from the four academies came outside together and boarded the carriages. As the carriages moved, they arrived at a huge and vast bluestone square.

The most spectacular and amazing thing about this bluestone square is that there is a huge stone platform in the east, west, south and north directions of the square. The surface of the stone platform is inlaid with silver crystals, which are crystal clear. Under the sunlight, the refracted light stings people's eyes. The crystals also faintly exude a strong spatial force.

There is a huge circle formed by special rocks on the stone platform. On the stone circle, there are words like tadpole runes twisting there, and sometimes emitting dazzling silver light.

In the center of the stone circle is a deep and dark black hole. A strange suction force is swirling in the black hole, as if it can suck everything in the world in. No matter the sunlight above or the gaze, they are all like a drop in the ocean, leaving no trace.

There are four such space tunnels in Canglong Academy, and there are also space tunnels several sizes smaller than these in other directions.

The crowd in the square, both inside and outside, was huge. Many people were crowding at the ticket office in the square, trying to get a ticket for the space tunnel. The orderly crowd in the square entered the space tunnel one after another and disappeared into the deep darkness.

Such a scene was the first time for Lin Ran himself, not to mention the children in the team. He had never seen the prosperity of Xinzhou in the Central Region, but the most powerful Canglong Academy in Jiezhou was much stronger than the Ji Dynasty, one of the strongest dynasties in Liezhou.

The square of this space tunnel alone is so spectacular that it cannot be compared to that of the Ji Dynasty. What's more, that crappy space tunnel has problems every day. The last time Lin Ran rode that thing, he encountered the Void Evil Clan and almost lost his life.

Fu Yuemei and the others who were sitting in the carriage had already opened the curtains of the windows. Several little heads were scrambling to squeeze through the small window to take in the entire view outside the square.

Mu Shishuang moved over, took a few glances, and then lost interest. He crossed his arms over his chest and whispered to Lin Ran beside him, "This space tunnel is very stable. It seems that there are experts who maintain it regularly."

"Can you see that?"

Lin Ran was stunned. Sometimes he felt that his strength was almost the same as before Mu Shishuang was sealed. Are this girl's eyes so sharp?

"Although I can't sense it, I can still understand the runes. They are so clear, and the casting of this stone platform is also very exquisite."

"Look at the space crystals underneath, and then look at the rock circle. They are not ordinary rocks. Just the construction of the entire space tunnel cost tens of thousands of high-level spirit stones."

“This does not include the cost of hiring strong men to open up the space tunnel. For a space tunnel of this level, at the very least we have to hire strong men who have transformed into the immortal realm of space power.” Mu Shishuang said.

Although Mu Shishuang's words were not very loud, Fu Yuemei and others could hear them clearly in the relatively narrow space of the carriage.

Xiao Qian hugged Fu Yuemei excitedly and said incoherently: "No... Immortal Realm?! Tens of thousands of high-level spirit stones?"

At that moment, Xiao Qian really felt like she was suffocating. She had seen so many things on this trip. Could the world be so big?

Chi Si Nian is the one whose family background is relatively better among this group of children. In her opinion, the most powerful one should be Sister Mu. To be able to know so many things, what level of person must Sister Mu have been in the past!

The more I think about it, the more scared I get. What if Sister Mu is also the legendary immortal powerhouse? Then, wouldn’t they have hugged immortal powerhouses before?

Chi Si-nian's thoughts couldn't help but slip, and he began to have wild thoughts.

In any case, with Sister Mu's narration, everyone has a deeper impression of the grand square of Canglong Academy, and is more looking forward to what the Central Region Heart Province, known as the center of the continent, will look like.

This competition happens to have the opportunity to be selected into a super sect, but that is still too slim for them now, so they should try their best to go further in the secret realm!

The convoy entered the exclusive tunnel and successfully arrived at the square. After everyone got off the car, they were led by the square guards.

Lin Ran was walking in the square and noticed that there were many guards in the square. Those at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm could only serve as pawns here. There were also many people at the Spiritual Pill Realm and the Nirvana Realm. It was obvious that they were worried that someone would commit a crime here, so they arranged such a powerful defensive force.

Under the guidance of the guard, Lin Ran and his companions soon arrived at the cleared eastern space tunnel. When they arrived not far from the stone platform, they could feel the enormity of the black hole and their own insignificance.

“This is really a big deal!”

Lin Ran sighed softly.

After hearing this, Mu Shishuang lowered her head and thought for a while, then stood on tiptoe and whispered into Lin Ran's ear: "I can also help you build such a space tunnel!"

"Even if you can help me, I still need the money!"

Lin Ran smiled and didn't take Mu Shishuang's words seriously. It's not that he was unwilling to unblock Mu Shishuang. In fact, he had already wavered in his heart.

But he was really interested in this space tunnel. If it could connect Linghua City and the Li Dynasty, then perhaps both sides could develop rapidly.

But the problem is whether this space tunnel can be defended. The current strength of the Li Dynasty is not enough, and the same goes for Linghua Academy. Moreover, without professionals to repair it, it will be scrapped after a while and will be useless!

Therefore, there are so many things to consider for this huge project, and we cannot touch upon it now.

Seeing that Lin Ran just made a joke and ignored it, Mu Shi's eyes flashed with disappointment, but soon a pair of big hands pressed on her head and rubbed it, and Lin Ran's voice rang out: "Later, when you take the space tunnel, stay closer to me, I can protect you at the critical moment!"

When Mu Shishuang heard this, her eyes hidden under her hair flashed a little, she nodded and responded softly:

"it is good!"

……

In front of the space tunnel in the east, each academy was wearing their own costumes and standing in a line.

The team from Canglong Academy was also on the list. They wore light blue slim-fitting robes embroidered with Canglongs and were led by their outer court dean, Lin Yi.

Lin Ran casually glanced at the team from Canglong Academy, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He and Yue Lei from Songling happened to make eye contact, and they both understood what meant in each other's eyes.

This was the first time they saw the Canglong Academy team today. The strength of the ten young boys and girls from Canglong Academy was hidden, and they could only feel a vague aura.

"Good fellow, they even resorted to means of hiding their strength. This Canglong Academy is really cunning!" Lin Ran cursed secretly in his heart.

In Lin Ran's opinion, the Canglong Academy is really going to make a fortune in that secret realm this time. No one knows what treasures are in there that could make the Canglong Academy attach so much importance to it. Lin Ran even wants to lend Fanhua to his son Lin Chong.

In Lin Ran's mind, Fanhua, who had been recuperating for a long time since the last time in the space tunnel, heard Lin Ran's voice and said angrily: "I saved you last time, and I just recovered not long ago, and you want to mess with me again!"

"Hey, your words are ambiguous. What are you talking about? Watch your words!"

Lin Ran made a joke, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the space tunnel this time is impregnable, you shouldn't be needed, and Xiao Chong has a lot of cards up his sleeve, so I feel relieved."

"Indeed, you finally got to ride in a good space tunnel. Don't ride the one with problems next time!" Fanhua said fearfully.

The last time, she was so scared that even the Tassel Palace was damaged. She has been recuperating in order to repair the Tassel Palace and restore her soul power.

"You were the one who told me to sit down. Do you really think I want to sit down?!"

Lin Ran is a cautious person. You know, before he met Mu Shishuang, there was a problem with the space tunnel of the Ji Dynasty, and he didn't dare to sit in it.

"Ah, I'm tired, let me sleep for a while!"

Fanhua said this awkwardly and immediately fled. It seemed that she had really patted her chest and said that there was no problem last time, but a big Void Evil Clan came. It was really weird.

After Lin Yi exchanged a few words of greeting, he asked his men to give the spaceships that had been prepared long ago to the leaders of each academy. Lin Ran looked at the spaceship in the crystal ball in his hand, which looked very exquisite and should not be some junk.

"Master, what is this?"

Fu Yuemei saw the crystal ball in Lin Ran's hand and asked in a low voice.

The other children also came forward, their eyes revealing longing.

Lin Ran smiled and said, "I'll take you in to see it later. After you enter the space tunnel, don't panic. Just follow my instructions. Do you understand?"
