"You stole my time and said you have no ability to return it. Then this is the only way to repay you!" Lin Ran said shamelessly.

"I think you are acting more like a hooligan. Being so rude to an unmarried woman, you would be beheaded in my place." Shangguan Mengqing said with interest.

"How was he killed?" Lin Ran couldn't help but ask.

"Cut off the head and tail first!"

"Where's my tail?"

"This tail is not that tail!" Shangguan Mengqing said with a smile in his eyes.

When Lin Ran heard this, the temperature suddenly dropped a lot. He felt that he was not ruthless enough in collecting the debt. Didn’t he see that the girl was even threatening him?

Lin Ran lowered his head again, and when he explored those lips, he tasted the sweetness hard. He also stretched out his hand and placed it behind Shangguan Mengqing's head to prevent the beauty from escaping.

The beauty couldn't help but close her eyes and responded to her man seriously, but she was careless this time and was attacked by the old man on the waist. Her body stiffened and she clenched her teeth as the old man led the team to attack her directly and shamelessly entangled her.

After a long while, Shangguan Mengqing looked at Lin Ran with watery eyes. Her voice was no longer cold as before, and she said with a hint of charm, "Old man, you are getting bolder and bolder. Aren't you afraid that I will go to Master and tell him all the good things you have done?"

"Don't be afraid. Even if I die under the peony flowers, I'll still be romantic as a ghost!" Lin Ran licked his lips and smiled.

"I didn't expect the old man to be so brave now. In that case, come back with me to Jianzong and meet my master together!" Shangguan Mengqing said softly.

This time it was Lin Ran's turn to freeze. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, "It doesn't feel right to meet your master so early, right?"

"What's wrong with this? We are already in this situation now. Do you still want to deny your debt?"

"I won't default on my debt, but our situation is special. I have to give your master some time to prepare mentally. I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it for a while and may faint!" Lin Ran said earnestly.

He was definitely not afraid of meeting Meng Qing's master. It was mainly because of his situation that if the old man knew about it, he would be so angry that he would faint.

Hearing Lin Ran's words, Shangguan Mengqing's smile became more intense. She said softly, "You are really considerate of my master, but she is at the peak of the Saint Realm, her physical fitness should be good, she should not faint."

Lin Ran: "..."

Forget about the peak of the Saint Realm. Just mentioning this level of strength makes his legs tremble. If he really saw the real person, he would be so scared that his legs would go limp that he would bow deeply to the old master.

"Why don't we go and see what's happening in that secret realm!" Lin Ran quickly changed the subject.

"Go and see!"

Shangguan Mengqing did not continue to make things difficult for Lin Ran. Even if the old man really wanted to meet her master, she would not let him meet her master at this stage. She would let them meet only when the time was right.

Shangguan Mengqing put on her veil again before going out. She would only take off the veil when she was alone with the old man. She usually kept it on to avoid a lot of trouble.

The two of them came to the square one after the other. Soon Lin Ran saw Mulan and Mu Shishuang in the crowd. He walked over with Shangguan Mengqing.

"Mulan, Shi Shuang, how long have you been watching here?" Lin Ran asked with a smile.

Mulan and Mu Shishuang were not surprised when they looked at Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing. Mulan pointed at the scroll and said, "We just arrived here too. There is a fierce fight going on in the secret realm right now. Several forces are fighting there, as if they are fighting for some key..."

"Didn't expect it to have reached this stage?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran also looked at the scene in the scroll. As expected, the scene at this moment in the scroll showed more than a dozen young talents fighting with each other, using all kinds of martial arts trump cards, as if they were fighting for a chance to enter the bronze gate in the distance.

After Lin Ran arrived, Mu Shishuang's attention was no longer on the scroll, but on the corner of Lin Ran's mouth. She seemed to see something...

Shangguan Mengqing, who was standing by, noticed Mu Shishuang's abnormality. She also looked at Lin Ran's face and happened to see the lipstick on the corner of Lin Ran's mouth. Her pretty face under the veil couldn't help but turn a little pink. She couldn't help but whispered, "Lin Ran, there is something dirty on the corner of your mouth. Remember to wipe it off."

"dirty stuff?"

Lin Ran couldn't help but glance at Shangguan Mengqing. He subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. Just when he was about to say that there was no dirt, he saw the faint red on his sleeve. He suddenly understood, and hurriedly wiped it a few more times, then pretended nothing happened and continued to look at the picture in the scroll.

But in fact, he was communicating with Shangguan Mengqing.

"Why didn't you warn me when you went out just now? Wouldn't anyone find out?"

"Even if someone noticed it, they wouldn't associate it with you or me," Shangguan Mengqing said.

"why?"

"Because old men and fairies don't match each other!" Shangguan Mengqing responded with a faint smile on her lips.

"Hey, I think you are wrong. In my opinion, an old man and a fairy are a good match!" Lin Ran said unconvinced.

"What's the reason for this?"

"Old men have experience and can help fairies cultivate their Taoism. Isn't that a good match?" Lin Ran said with a smile.

"Oh, so you mean that you have experienced a lot in the secular world and have a lot of experience, so you can help me cultivate my Taoism, right?" Shangguan Mengqing's voice suddenly turned cold.

When Lin Ran heard this, cold sweat broke out on his back. He quickly explained, "I meant rich experience, not rich worldly experience. Fairy, please don't misunderstand me!"

"Next time, please be more accurate, old man. Otherwise, it will cause misunderstanding!" Shangguan Mengqing said calmly.

"Can you stop calling me old man? It feels weird!" When Lin Ran heard the name "old man", he felt like he had become a greasy uncle, even though he was obviously a young and handsome guy!

"Okay, old man!" Shangguan Mengqing showed no remorse.

Lin Ran: "..."

All right, as long as the fairy likes it, how could he spoil the fairy's interest?

……

Several forces in the secret realm have been fighting fiercely over the key to the inheritance. What surprised Lin Ran was that Mo Qingyi from the Tianshan Sword Sect, whose sword skills were very good in Lin Ran's opinion, had caused exaggerated lethality, and had seriously injured many other young talents, and snatched a key to the inheritance.

Lin Ran also learned from Mulan that this square has several heritages.

The bronze key that everyone is fighting for now is the most precious one in this square in this secret realm. It is the key to the bronze gate in the center. Currently, no one can get hold of that bronze key.

At this time, the bronze key was still floating in the air in the square. Anyone who dared to take it would be blocked by the other party.

The inheritance inside this bronze gate is said to be the lifelong inheritance of a powerful saint. If you really get it, it will be like getting a ticket directly to the saint realm.

But what made Lin Ran curious was, where was his son Lin Chong? Where was his apprentice Yue Mei? He had the soul jade tokens of these children in his hands, all of which were shining brightly, indicating that they were in excellent condition, but at this moment he did not see these children in the scroll. Did they all give up fighting for this inheritance?

Based on Lin Ran's understanding of his son, this should be impossible, but why didn't these guys show up? Could it be that they were planning to do something, while the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole waits behind?

"The bronze key has been taken!"

There was a sudden noise in the square.

Lin Ran immediately turned his gaze back to the picture on the scroll, and saw a thin man in black clothes holding a bronze key.

"It's actually him?"

Shangguan Mengqing on the side said with some surprise.

"Do you know him?" Lin Ran turned around and asked with some surprise.

Shangguan Mengqing nodded and said, "That's Qin Tianying's son, Qin Yi. Qin Tianying brought his son to me before to try to build a relationship with me, hoping that his son could enter the Sword Sect."

"If this kid meets the requirements, will you accept him?" Lin Ran asked with burning eyes.

He hoped to get an answer from Shangguan Mengqing that would suit his heart. He didn't like the Qin family, so he naturally didn't want Shangguan Mengqing to accept such a person into the Sword Sect.

Shangguan Mengqing glanced at Lin Ran and said calmly: "No, he has a bad character!"

.......

160. Have you heard of Song Jiang?

Lin Ran was delighted by Shangguan Mengqing's answer. Just as he was thinking about how to praise the fairy, Shangguan Mengqing continued to say, "Old man, don't be too happy too soon. If the child has a good character and has entered the required ranking, for the benefit of the Sword Sect, I will naturally extend an olive branch to the child. I will not undermine the interests of the Sword Sect because of my personal feelings."

Hearing Shangguan Mengqing's words, Lin Ran didn't feel unhappy at all. On the contrary, he was quite happy. He said with a smile on his face: "Fairy, you are so principled. I feel like you more!"

Shangguan Mengqing's pretty face flushed slightly under her veil. She tapped the ground lightly with her toes and said calmly, "Why do you like everything?"

"It's because of you that I like them all!" Lin Ran said with a smile.

"Oh!"

Lin Ran: "..."

It seems that he should stop saying such sweet words in the future. The fairy doesn't seem to like it.

When Lin Ran turned around and continued to watch the developments after Qin Yi obtained the bronze key in the scroll, what he did not notice was that a pair of deep and smiling eyes were calmly looking at his back, and through the veil it seemed that he could see the lips trembling slightly.

"Me too…"

Shangguan Mengqing quietly added this in her heart.

……

After Qin Yi obtained the bronze key in the scroll, Qin family's patriarch Qin Tianying couldn't suppress his excitement. On the other hand, Canglong, Lin Yi and Jin Qiusheng of Shengqiong Academy didn't look very good.

Everyone was plotting to get the bronze key. Although they were cooperating on the surface, they were secretly competing with each other. Now that their competitors had gotten there first, it would be a lie to say that they didn't feel resentful. However, they still had to be careful in such an occasion.

I can only pray secretly that someone will come forward and snatch the key from Qin Yi.

In his heart, Jin Qiusheng cursed the forces that did not take action: "Why are the other members of the war alliance standing there without taking action? Do they want to wait for the Qin family to produce a peerless genius?"

Lin Ran looked at the scene in the scroll and said in surprise, "Are you really letting Qin Yi return to the team with the bronze key? Is there no one who dares to take action?"

Mulan at the side came out to explain at the right time: "Mr. Lin, there are many masters from small and medium forces gathered around the young master of the Qin family. It seems that they were bought by the Qin family. Their fighting style is very fierce. No one among the forces present dares to say that they can definitely defeat the Qin family, and it is inevitable that someone will turn the arrow towards them..."

"So that's it!"

Lin Ran nodded and said jokingly, "If there is no traitor among Qin Yi's men, then they should have firmly taken the bronze key and officially won the coveted inheritance. With the blessing of the inheritance, Qin Yi should be invincible in the final battle for the ranking!"

The chaotic fight between various forces in the square soon subsided, and the inheritance keys in the square also had owners.

Lin Ran looked at the six ancient gates in the square with a bit of surprise in his eyes. He couldn't help but say, "It's really rare to see these inherited treasures gathered in such a place. It seems that the level of this secret realm is higher than imagined!"

But what made Lin Ran feel a little regretful was that his son did not seem to be present at the scene, and he should not be able to get a share of the inheritance here, because the next few forces were already preparing to open the door to the inheritance.

The patriarch of the Qin family looked at his son Qin Yi, walking towards the central bronze door with a heroic and high-spirited manner. He clenched his hands into fists under his robe, trying his best to suppress the joy in his heart.

Around the square, pairs of greedy eyes were focused on the central square. Some guys' breathing became heavy and rapid. It was obvious that they did not want the inheritance key to fall into the hands of these forces so easily.

The leaders of the younger generation of Canglong and Shengqiong Academy also looked in the direction of Qin Yi with a bit of loneliness. They were no longer able to fight with Qin Yi's side. They didn't know where the Qin family had hired that group of thugs with such strong strength. If there were no thugs, with the Qin family's strength and manpower, how could they be a match for the two sides combined?

Standing in front of the bronze door, Qin Yi's eyes were burning with uncontrollable heat. His right hand, which was holding the bronze key, couldn't help but tremble, but he knew that he had to do one thing first.

Qin Yi turned around and bowed to the group of people behind him, saying respectfully: "Everyone, this time I was able to obtain this inheritance key, relying on your help. When we leave the secret realm, our Qin family will certainly give you rich rewards. If you don't believe me, I have some pills here, you can take them first..."

Qin Yi took out a space ring, walked straight to the thin man with a serious face, and said, "Brother Song Jiang, send it to your brothers!"

"hehe!"

The thin man called Song Jiang couldn't help but sneer and said, "Can this little thing be compared with the inheritance of the Saint Realm?"

Qin Yi's heart trembled. He took a step back and said with a smile on his face, "Brother Song Jiang, what does this mean?"

"What could that mean?"

Song Jiang sneered and said, "Of course I hope Brother Qin will return the bronze key to us!"

Qin Yi's pupils couldn't help but shrink. His body was already tense and he wanted to escape immediately, but Song Jiang already knew what Qin Yi was going to do. The light blue sword energy penetrated Qin Yi's limbs with incredible precision and sharpness, nailing Qin Yi to the ground like a nail.

"You are from the Qin family, come and save me!" Qin Yi's face was ferocious and he let out a sharp wail.

The changes on the Qin family's side in the square immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even the forces that had already obtained the inheritance key stopped opening the door and looked at what was happening at the Qin family's side.

"Stop shouting, no one can save you!"

Song Jiang walked slowly to Qin Yi, squatted down, and took the bronze key from Qin Yi. At this time, Qin Yi had just experienced a battle and was powerless to stop what was happening.

"Song Jiang, why did you betray me!" Qin Yi raised his head with difficulty and roared.

"betray?"

Song Jiang shook his head and chuckled, "I am not even one of your men, so how can I talk about betrayal? I am just a small person you don't even remember, and I came back to take revenge on you!"

"Revenge? What did I do?" Qin Yi was stunned and asked subconsciously.

"You have done a lot, especially your Qin family, right..."

Song Jiang shook his head, unwilling to say anything more. He rummaged through Qin Yi's space ring. After finding Qin Yi's space token, he placed it on the edge of Qin Yi's palm which had long been pierced by the green sword energy.

Qin Yi stared at this scene with wide eyes, shook his head vigorously and shouted: "No, Brother Song Jiang, please don't, I have done something wrong before, I will make it up to you, our Qin family will make it up to you!"

But no matter how much Qin Yi said, Song Jiang still swung his sword expressionlessly to shatter the space token. The powerful silver space force instantly wrapped Qin Yi in it, and Qin Yi was teleported out.

Qin Yi was sent away just like that, and when the remaining group of men in black became the owners of the bronze key, everyone, whether in the secret realm or outside the secret realm, was somewhat surprised at how quickly this happened.

Of course, there must be people who have different emotions, such as Qin Tianying from the Qin family. His originally uncontrollable joy turned into uncontrollable anger, his face was terribly gloomy, and he even didn't want to continue watching the scenes in the secret realm. This kind of instant fall from heaven to hell probably refers to Qin Tianying's situation.

The leaders of Canglong and Shengqiong Academy looked a lot more relaxed and happy all of a sudden, and almost laughed out loud. Although the bronze key did not fall into their hands, as long as the Qin family did not get it, it was an acceptable result.

Lin Ran saw this sudden change. He didn't expect that what he had just joked about would become a reality. Facing the gazes of Mulan, Mu Shishuang, and Shangguan Mengqing, Lin Ran spread his hands and said helplessly: "I was just saying it casually. Who knew it would really happen..."
