But to be honest, when he arrived at the Qin family's mansion, Lin Ran felt that calling it a mansion was a bit subtle. It should be called Qin Family Plaza. It was so incredibly big.
The people from the Qin family invited Lin Ran and others, but actually they mainly invited the three deans in the Dragon Transformation Realm. Lin Ran and Yue Lei were invited as a by-product. The two of them became brothers in distress. The two Nirvana realms were inferior to each other, and after they had managed to get through it on pins and needles, they did not expect that there would be a difference in where they lived.
Lin Ran discovered that the courtyard he was assigned to was so shabby that it forced him to write an "Ode to the Humble Dwelling" on the spot to show off his elegance.
Originally, Lin Ran thought that he was the only one like this, but he didn't expect that when he went to Yue Lei's place, he saw that he was the same. With someone accompanying him, Lin Ran felt much better. After going to Wen Ling's place to take a few more looks, he found that the courtyard assigned to that person was not only exquisite, but also had a lot more spiritual energy.
This obvious difference in treatment made Lin Ran once again sigh that people are looked down upon because of their low strength.
Wen Ling was also quite indignant when he learned about Lin Ran and Yue Lei's experiences. He snorted coldly and said, "The Qin family's way of entertaining guests is actually like this. I will go to the Qin family to talk to them for you!"
Lin Ran was also quite moved when he saw this, but he didn't dare to let Wen Ling go. He already owed Dean Wen Ling a lot of favors, so how could he continue like this?
Lin Ran bowed his hands and thanked him, "Dean Wenling, thank you for your kindness. A mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals living there. A river is not famous for its depth, but for the dragons living there. This humble room is just for my virtue. Anyway, I will only stay for a while, so there is no need to make so much trouble!"
After hearing what Lin Ran said, Wen Ling's eyes flashed with surprise. He patted Lin Ran on the shoulder and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Brother Lin Ran is much more insightful than me. If there is anything, just find me. Anyway, Canglong Academy has seen through it. Let them see that we are in the same boat!"
"Thank you, Dean Wenling!"
Lin Ran smiled. He returned to the "humble room" and saw his group of children. Their initial excitement was wiped out by the shabby room in front of them. He couldn't help but use the inscription on the humble room to encourage these children.
As expected, after hearing those words of noble aspirations, the children perked up their spirits and worked hard. They found a simple room, cleaned it up, and went in to practice with the spirit stones in their hands. They were determined to teach these people who looked down on them a lesson.
After seeing that all the children had been sent away, Lin Ran sat on the moss-covered steps in front of his front door, looked at the desolate and bare trees in the yard, and sighed softly.
"Those words you said were actually just to deceive them, right? It's just like how you deceived my sister back then. How can anyone be so noble!" Mu Shishuang said as he stood beside Lin Ran.
"What do you mean by lie? There really are such saints in the world!" Lin Ran said unconvinced.
It's just that he has never seen such a saint, but the realm of such a saint is worth everyone's lifetime pursuit...
……
118. Head to Qianlong Mountain
They basically spent the next few days at the Qin family's house until the Qin family sent someone to inform them to go to Qianmen to take a carriage to Qianlong Mountain.
After Lin Ran learned the news, he went to the front door of the Qin family together with the people from Songling Academy.
Although Lin Ran had expected this, he did not expect that the Qin family would actually give them some rotten carriages. The horses were thin, with rough fur, and looked very old. It was not known whether they could pull the carriages.
The place to live is like this, as are the tools provided for traveling. It seems that the Qin family has discussed with "certain people" and is planning to target their Linghua Academy. As for who those "certain people" are, who else could Lin Ran have offended on this trip?
Songling Academy is probably a joint issue. It would be too obvious to target Linghua Academy alone. With the addition of Songling Academy as a companion, it would become a case of the two academies being weak and not taken seriously. The conflict would then be transferred to the Qin family, but what can they say to the Qin family?
The Qin family, which has a powerful immortal, does have reason to look down on others. After all, the entire war alliance has several people in the Dragon Transformation Realm. How many do they have?
"Lin Ran, now this..."
Yue Lei looked at the carriages and spoke with a grim expression.
The other three academies seemed to have left early with the Qin family. Perhaps they were the last to know about the departure, but what they ended up with was some shabby carriages without even a guide. This was too much.
Lin Ran shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's go to the market in Qinglong City to buy a few better carriages, and then hire a guy who is familiar with Qianlong Mountain!"
"Oh, this is the only way!"
Yue Lei sighed. It was their fault that they were looked down upon because of their low strength!
Fortunately, the Qin family did not go so far as to prohibit them from buying carriages even at the market, and Lin Ran successfully bought enough carriages for his own academy. He also hired a female mercenary who knew the road to Qianlongshan.
This female mercenary was probably in her early thirties, with a horrible scar on her delicate face, giving people a feeling of both an angel and a devil.
Lin Ran went to Qinglong City and found a mercenary guild that was spontaneously set up there. He had just posted a task when the female mercenary took down the task the next second.
When they first met, Lin Ran was indeed a little surprised, but after talking for a few sentences, he felt that this female mercenary was indeed a veteran, but her harsh words made Lin Ran feel ashamed.
In order to catch up with the progress of other academies as quickly as possible, Lin Ran asked the female mercenary to purchase and collect the supplies needed for the journey, and then he took a car to leave Qinglong City and headed south.
Unlike the vast Gobi Desert in Jiezhou, the jungle miasma here in Qianzhou can be said to be a major feature of Qianzhou. In this vast and endless tropical jungle and the white fog that sometimes spreads, you never know when danger will emerge from it.
Lin Ran and others were driving a horse-drawn carriage at a relatively fast speed on the muddy road opened up by countless pioneers.
"Mulan, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have bought the wrong warhorse!" Lin Ran looked at the female mercenary sitting next to him and smiled.
Mulan has neat short black hair, wheat-colored skin, and wears a set of leather armor that only protects her vital parts. Her fat-free abdomen and strong long legs are all revealed.
What is regrettable is that the delicate face is covered with an ugly centipede-like scar that runs diagonally from the upper right corner of the face to the opposite corner, which is creepy to look at.
Mulan turned her head and glanced at Lin Ran. She whipped the warhorse hard with the whip in her hand and said very impolitely: "These warhorses are like beauties from different places, each with its own charm. The horses in our Southern Front State have no other advantages. The only advantage is that they are durable. Walking on these mountain roads is so easy!"
Lin Ran was very glad that he didn't drink the water, otherwise he would have choked. He reminded Mulan and said, "There are still some students in my carriage, so don't bring any dirty food!"
"Hey, what's the big deal!"
Mulan said disapprovingly: "They will have to experience this sooner or later, and then they will know what it means to be happy!"
The next moment, Mulan suddenly shouted into the carriage: "Little girls, remember to find someone like your teacher when the time comes, who is pleasing to the eye, strong and healthy, so that you will have a happy life in the future!"
These words made Fu Yuemei in the carriage blush. Even Xiao Qian, who was usually wild, lowered her head and dared not speak. She usually just talked, but when faced with this kind of "old dirty woman" at the advanced level, how could she be a match for her.
The calmest person in the carriage was only Mu Shishuang. She folded her hands over her chest, closed her eyes and dozed off, occasionally waking up to look outside.
As for those dirty words, even when Lin Ran saw her naked, she didn't blush or feel nervous. What's the big deal about those dirty words? It's just that the way this woman looked at Lin Ran was not right, and she was not very likable.
According to Mulan, Qianlong Mountain is very far from Qinglong City. It will take at least a month to get there. This surprised Lin Ran and he couldn't help asking, "Isn't a month too long?"
"Brother Lin, one month is not a long time. It may even take more than a month!" Mulan said.
"More than a month?"
"Yes, one month is still relatively fast. There are some corners on the way to Qianlong Mountain that are difficult to access. We may have to take a detour to another place!" Mulan explained.
She also took out a map and explained those places to Lin Ran. Knowing that Lin Ran and his friends were not familiar with Qianzhou, she also told Lin Ran some legends about the place, which really helped everyone gain a lot.
At night, after finding an open area and parking the carriage, Mulan immediately took Fu Yuemei and the others to spread medicinal powders around the area. She also taught them the effects of the powders, the dosage, and where to sprinkle them for the best effect.
Although Mulan is a bit aggressive, she also has a delicate and gentle side. These little shining points are the beginning of everyone's acceptance and love for Mulan.
Lin Ran knew that Mu Shishuang was setting up the tent. When he saw that the tent was not too crooked, Lin Ran teased, "Your skill in setting up the tent for the first time is quite good!"
Mu Shishuang glanced at Lin Ran and said quietly:
"Demolished!"
"what?"
Lin Ran was stunned.
"The tent is dismantled, I will build it again!"
Mu Shishuang stared at Lin Ran, there seemed to be a fire burning in her eyes. She didn't want to be looked down upon by Lin Ran like this!
Seeing Mu Shishuang staring at her like a child, Lin Ran couldn't help but reach out and rub Mu Shishuang's head hard, and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything against my will. This is my first time to set up a tent, but I couldn't even get it set up. You are much smarter than me!"
"Really?"
Mu Shishuang said suspiciously.
"Pearls are not even that real!"
Lin Ran recalled his first experience of setting up a tent. He fiddled with it for a long time and ended up destroying the tent. He was almost having an attack of stupidity, but the target was only himself.
Mu Shishuang straightened her messy hair and walked towards the tent with a smile on her face: "Help me tidy up the inside!"
"Row!"
Lin Ran followed behind and went in.
Mulan, who had just returned to the camp with Fu Yuemei and the others, looked at this scene and asked curiously, "Who is that quiet girl to your teacher?"
Just as Xiao Qian was about to answer, Chi Si Nian pulled Xiao Qian aside and explained to Mulan: "It seems that he is someone very close to the teacher. Because he was injured, the teacher has been taking care of him!"
"A very close person?!"
There was a hint of regret on Mulan's face. She had been thinking about whether she could have sex with Teacher Lin, but forget it. The order this time was not that profitable. What a pity!
The night gradually darkened, and a fence was built around the camp. Powder was sprinkled to repel various poisonous insects, snakes and ants, making the camp much safer.
Because Songling Academy was right behind them, Lin Ran also called people from Songling Academy to come over and get together.
Students and their peers could gather together and chat, while Lin Ran and Yue Lei sat a little further away. They picked up the wine jug, clinked it with their hands, tilted their heads back and took a few big gulps of wine. When the spicy taste rushed into their noses, they felt warm all over, and the coldness of the night was dispelled a little.
"It's really nice to drink something strong at a time like this!"
Yue Lei wiped his lips with his sleeve. Seeing Lin Ran drinking politely, he couldn't help but say, "Why are you drinking like a woman?"
"I like to drink slowly and don't like to get dirty!" Lin Ran said with a smile.
"You mean to say I'm sloppy?!"
Yue Lei Jin Gang glared at Lin Ran angrily.
Lin Ran was not afraid at all. He pinched his nose and said with disgust: "You are just sloppy. Look at the smell you have. There is a stream nearby. Go wash yourself!"
“Is it really that smelly?”
Yue Lei couldn't help but grab the clothes on his chest, lowered his head and sniffed, a very pungent smell rushed up to his nose, even he couldn't stand it.
Yue Lei quickly stood up and cursed in a low voice: "It must be the smell left by cleaning up those bugs today."
"I'll go wash it. Leave some of the barbecue for me. Don't let me eat it all. After all, I was the one who killed the monster!"
Before Yue Lei went to the creek to wash, he did not forget to ask Lin Ran to let him grill the meat.
Lin Ran waved his hands helplessly and said disdainfully: "Hurry up and get back to me, or the meat will stink up!"
Without Yue Lei, Lin Ran was now a human being. He turned around the sizzling barbecues, picked up a skewer, and was about to eat it when his left hand immediately grabbed a small white jade hand.
Lin Ran slowly looked to his left and saw that the owner of the little hand was Mu Shishuang who had come here at some point, and Mu Shishuang's target was the wine jug at his feet.
Mu Shishuang, who was caught red-handed, did not panic at all like a criminal being arrested. She was very calm and said firmly: "Give me some drink!"
"You are not allowed to drink!"
Lin Ran didn't want to deal with Mu Shishuang, the drunkard, later. After getting drunk, he started talking nonsense, which was very troublesome.
"Not at all?" Mu Shishuang asked.
"No!"
On this issue, Lin Ran was still very resolute.
Mu Shishuang glanced around, then leaned close to Lin Ran's ear and whispered, "If you don't give me a drink, I'll go back and say bad things about you!"
"What bad things can you say about me?" Lin Ran said in disbelief.
"Look at my body!"
"Come on, give it to me, drink till I die, you stinky girl!"
Lin Ran decisively threw the wine jug into Mu Shishuang's arms. He was really fed up with this little girl. Now she dared to threaten her with these messy things. Wouldn't she be climbing over his head in the future? He really had to teach her a lesson.
.....
119. Night Watch
Just as Lin Ran was thinking about how to deal with this naughty girl, Mu Shishuang had already picked up the wine pot and pointed it at those red lips. The wine pot was slightly tilted, and the clear and transparent wine formed a crystal waterfall in the air, and finally flowed into the cherry-like mouth, and then...
"Cough cough cough..."
The extremely spicy taste invaded her throat, and the wine jug in Mu Shi's hands fell to the ground. She covered her chest and coughed violently, but her throat was still hot and itchy.
The strangeness here immediately attracted the students from the two academies. Lin Ran waved his hand and explained, "You guys continue to play, everything is fine here!"
After hearing Lin Ran's words, the children in the academy continued to enjoy their time. The carefree and aggressive Mulan joined the group of children and said a lot of dirty words.
The girls' faces turned red from the teasing, and some innocent little boys were also at a loss as to what to do. All one can say is that the sensible big sister was really confusing.
Lin Ran withdrew his gaze, and seeing that Mu Shishuang was in so much pain, he reached out to massage the acupoints on Mu Shishuang's back to relieve her from the burning discomfort.
After a while, Mu Shishuang's face was red, her nose was red, and her eyes were filled with tears. She pointed at the wine pot, like a child who had been tricked and wanted to cry to an adult, and said, "This is not the wine from last time!"
"Of course this isn't the wine from last time!"
Lin Ran couldn't suppress a smile on his face. He was just thinking about how to punish this girl, but she came to him on her own initiative. Lin Ran was so happy.
He picked up the wine flask, took a big sip himself, and said jokingly, "The wine you drank last time was made from some sweet spiritual fruits. It naturally tasted good and had a smooth texture."
"This time, these are highly refined liquors. They're very harsh on the throat when you drink them. This kind of liquor is for the spicy taste." Lin Ran explained.
In fact, Lin Ran didn't have much of this kind of liquor. After all, he didn't like drinking this kind of liquor. He still preferred sour and sweet fruit wine, which was like fruit juice and still wine. He could use it to numb himself and make himself feel like he was floating in the air, wandering in the cloud peaks.
"Then I want to drink the same one as last time!"
