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

I give these words to you, and you give them to your children on my behalf."

After that, two jade scrolls appeared in Ye Qiu's hand. He gave them to Lin Ran and Meng Qing respectively, and explained: "Meng Qing, the scroll in your hand contains not only some of my Qingling Sword Technique, but also more of my wife's inheritance. I believe you will gain something from it."

"Thank you, senior!" Meng Qing bowed and thanked him, then carefully put the scroll into his space ring.

Ye Qiu looked at Lin Ran and said with a smile: "Jiang Ran, this scroll of yours contains my life's work. Whether it is the Qingling Sword Technique or my understanding and key points of the sword technique, they are all recorded in it.

Train your child well, so that he can carry forward my title of Qingling Sword Saint. Oh, and pass on this sword that I carried when I was young to your child!"

A long sword appeared in front of Ye Qiu. Lin Ran took it in his hand and gently pulled it out of the ancient scabbard. A chill came over him, and even his eyes felt a little painful when he saw the long sword. The blade was sharp, and the sword body had ancient and exquisite patterns. It was bright silver all over. It was undoubtedly an extremely sharp sword.

"This is the sword I used when I was young. It was named Qingling. There should actually be a sword spirit inside it, but the sword suffered severe damage back then. Although the sword has been recast, the sword spirit is dormant. Perhaps your child will be able to awaken the sword spirit in the future. That child will be an old friend of mine." Ye Qiu thought about the past and couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling.

"Thank you, Senior Ye. I..."

But before Lin Ran could finish his words, he saw Ye Qiu's body gradually becoming transparent, and he shouted in panic: "Senior Ye, how come your body has become transparent!"

In front of Lin Ran, Ye Qiu's body was gradually becoming transparent, and his hair and beard turned pale at an alarming speed. Meng Qing also looked at Ye Qiu with concern.

Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, saying with emotion: "I am just a soul clone. After completing the mission here, I will naturally disappear. But the days I spend with you do make me happy."

"Senior Ye, can we meet again in the future?" Lin Ran stepped forward and wanted to hold Ye Qiu's hand, but found that he had passed through it directly. Only then did he realize that Ye Qiu's soul was no longer the same entity as before.

“Hahaha, when your child, or this girl, breaks through to the legendary emperor realm, maybe she will meet me in the future.” Ye Qiu laughed.

Lin Ran didn't expect that he would be stabbed in the back again, and couldn't help but say in defense: "Can't I become the emperor?"

"puff!"

Meng Qing on the side laughed rarely. When she saw Lin Ran looking at her, she covered her mouth with her hands and turned her head to look to the other side, as if she was just enjoying the scenery, as if it wasn't her who laughed just now.

"Okay, next I will send you out of this inheritance space. Because it is a random location, you must be careful at that time. You may be transferred to a dangerous place. We will see you again in the future!"

After saying that, Ye Qiu threw out two golden rays of light, which turned into a ball of light that wrapped Lin Ran and Meng Qing. He gently pushed it forward, and the ball of light emitted a dazzling light, surging with strong spatial fluctuations, and disappeared from the spot.

The inheritance space had begun to collapse at this time. The vast ocean, the fine white sand beach, and the bamboo houses where people lived all turned into golden light and dissipated bit by bit.

Ye Qiu couldn't help but come to the top of the mountain, looking at the gradually collapsing inheritance space, with a bit of nostalgia in his eyes. After a long time, he couldn't help but murmured: "Have you found my dear wife? It's a pity that my clone can't see it..."

Following this whisper, Ye Qiu's soul turned into a point of light, and dissipated in the world along with the inheritance space...

……

Chapter 38 Lin Ran, see you next time (Please collect)

Deep in the Nanhuang Mountains, beside a stream.

A ball of golden light suddenly appeared in the air. When the light dissipated, two black shadows fell from the air.

After a period of dizzying darkness, Lin Ran opened his eyes and saw the stream expanding in size. After a flurry of activity, he stopped himself just before crashing into the stream.

After flying to the side of the stream, Lin Ran sat down on a smooth bluestone, while Meng Qing touched the water surface with her toes and landed in front of Lin Ran lightly like a graceful dancer.

Looking at the fairy in white in front of him, Lin Ran said with a complicated expression: "Are you really going to hunt me down after you come out?"

Meng Qing stared at Lin Ran and said softly, "I never break my promise, but... you saved my life several times, take this!"

An exquisite jade bracelet appeared in Meng Qing's hand and he handed it to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran took the jade bracelet and felt a chill as soon as he touched his hand. Moreover, this clear and bright jade bracelet seemed to have some profound rune patterns inside. There was also a small word "Qing" engraved on the inside of the jade bracelet.

"What does this mean..." Lin Ran didn't quite understand what the purpose of giving him a jade bracelet was.

Meng Qing explained: "This is the jade bracelet I always carry with me. It is also a spiritual weapon. If you charge it, it can withstand a full-strength attack from a Nirvana Realm expert.

And you can ask me three things, no matter how difficult they are, I will help you do them, and after three times, we will be even."

When Lin Ran heard Meng Qing's words, his eyes were full of surprise. He didn't expect that Meng Qing would make such a great sacrifice to repay his life-saving grace. Not only did he give him such a powerful spiritual weapon, but he also gave him three favors worth a thousand gold.

"Can you really ask about anything?" Lin Ran couldn't help but ask again, obviously still not quite believing it.

Meng Qing nodded, as if he had thought of something, his ears and neck were slightly red, but he still said firmly: "Anything is fine!"

Lin Ran: "Then can I use one of these favors to get three more?"

Meng Qing was a little confused by this sentence, her expression was a little dull, and it was obviously the first time she had seen such a shameless person.

When he came back to his senses, Meng Qing added the rules in a cold voice: "If the things you propose to do are unreasonable, then one of them will be automatically abolished!"

"Let's talk about it later!" Lin Ran was not in a hurry for the moment, because he couldn't think of anything he needed Meng Qing's help with, so let's talk about it later!

However, the bracelet given by Meng Qing is a good thing. He thought that if it is charged well in the future, it can also be a safety guarantee for his son to go out for training!

But maybe Meng Qing was the worm in Lin Ran's stomach. He knew what Lin Ran was thinking at a glance and added: "The bracelet is equivalent to the token I gave you. Only you can use it. If you give it to someone else, I will assume that you are dead. I will kill that person and avenge you as a favor!"

Lin Ran:......

Thank you so much for helping me get revenge. She really made me cry!

"Then how can I contact you? It's impossible for me to have something to do and run to Xinzhou in the Central Region to look for your whereabouts. Isn't that like looking for a needle in a haystack?" Lin Ran couldn't help but ask.

Meng Qing pointed at the bracelet and said calmly: "This bracelet can convey messages to me. You can use the same method of spiritual power transmission to inject spiritual power into the bracelet. Of course, don't try it now. Wait until you really have something to say!"

"Thank you, Meng Qing!" Lin Ran put the bracelet into the space ring. Looking at Meng Qing, who was wearing a plain long dress and looked calm and indifferent, he felt reluctant to leave. He asked curiously, "What are your plans next?"

Meng Qing looked at him with a half-smile and said, "I've been out for so long, so I have to go back to the Central Region. What's wrong? Do you want to go with me?"

"Ah, let's talk about going there later!" Lin Ran said with a little regret. He actually wanted Meng Qing to stay, but he was embarrassed to say it.

They have been together for such a long time. When the two of them were in the inheritance space, they basically practiced together the whole day. It was really hard for them to separate now.

Meng Qing frowned, looked at Lin Ran for a few times, and slowly explained: "This time, my experience is almost over. I have to go back. There are still many things waiting for me to do, otherwise my master will come to find me in person."

"Is that so? There's nothing we can do about it!" Lin Ran shook his head with a wry smile.

Lin Ran suddenly thought of something, took out a space ring, took Meng Qing's hand, placed it on his palm, looked at Meng Qing's cold eyes, and said: "I don't have any spiritual stones, but I still have some gold coins. The gold coins in here, as well as the spiritual medicine and cultivation materials I took from you, are all in here. Just use it as a guarantee for your journey, you can take it!"

Meng Qing looked at Lin Ran in surprise, but did not refuse. He just looked at Lin Ran and asked, "Why did you do this?"

"I don't know. You should go back quickly, otherwise your master will be worried. I'll sit here for a while, don't bother me!" Lin Ran waved his hands irritably, anxious to clear the area and get rid of everyone.

"Don't slack off in your training. I'll be waiting for you in the Central Region!"

Meng Qing took one last deep look at Lin Ran, as if he wanted to memorize Lin Ran's face in his mind. His cold voice lingered in the mountains, and a green light surged on his body. Then, under Lin Ran's gaze, he turned into a stream of green light and swept towards the sky. Within a few breaths, he disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the figure disappearing in the horizon, Lin Ran took a deep breath and lay down on the bluestone. After spitting to the side, a bitter smile appeared on his face. He couldn't help but say, "I don't know what Meng Qing is really like. I should have used a favor earlier."

Of course, this was just Lin Ran talking nonsense. How could favors be used for such things? One day, he would tear off Meng Qing's disguise and see what kind of monsters were underneath.

"Okay, let's go home, I don't know how long it has been!" Lin Ran smiled, and thinking of the two children at home, he couldn't wait to turn into a stream of light and fly towards Linshan City.

After Lin Ran's figure disappeared into the sky, Meng Qing, who had originally left, unexpectedly made a comeback and returned here by the bluestone stream where Lin Ran had been.

With his eyes closed, as if sensing something, Meng Qing smiled faintly and flew in a certain direction, which happened to be the direction Lin Ran had left before...

.....

Lin Ran arrived at Linshan City very quickly, but did not go home directly. Instead, he found a well-informed place in Linshan City and learned about the situation in Linshan City.

It has been almost half a year since he left and returned.

The past six months have been peaceful, with only some auctions and dance parties organized by the Jinling Chamber of Commerce being noteworthy. At other times, Linshan City was still very peaceful, and no major incidents occurred, which made Lin Ran feel relieved.

Sure enough, the kind of novel in which the protagonist's property is ransacked and his entire family is executed not long after the protagonist leaves is still too abstract.

Lin Ran chose to go in directly from the main gate of the Lin family. As soon as he walked to a place not far from the gate, the sharp-eyed guards saw Lin Ran at a glance and quickly stood up straight and shouted loudly: "Hello, clan leader!"

This voice directly attracted everyone around. When they saw it was Lin Ran, they didn't dare to look at him for long. They even quickened their pace, for fear that they would make Lin Ran unhappy. This would be like what the Murong family did, which was to plunder your family's assets.

"Alright, alright, don't shout so loudly when you see me next time!" Lin Ran waved his hands. After these guys shouted at him, the street in front of his Lin family's house suddenly became eerily quiet, and no one dared to speak.

Lin Ran put his hands behind his back and was about to go in when he suddenly thought of something and called a young guard and said, "Go and help me call the great elder and the high-ranking members of the Lin family to the clan meeting hall. Tell them that the clan leader has called and I'll wait for them there!"

"Yes, patriarch!"

After receiving the order, the young guard handed the weapon in his hand to his partner, and even used his fighting spirit to speed up his pace and call for help, and disappeared in a flash.

Lin Ran smiled and walked slowly towards the clan meeting room.

……

On the street near the Lin family's gate, on the second floor of a teahouse diagonally opposite, next to the window, a woman in a plain white dress was sitting alone having a drink.

After a while, a man in coarse linen clothes with a shifty look came up to the woman in white and whispered, "Sir, I heard that you wanted information about Patriarch Lin Ran?"

"Any problem?" The woman in white glanced coldly.

The cold eyes and the terrifying atmosphere made the man tremble with fear, and he quickly said respectfully: "No problem, no problem! Sir, this is the information from Patriarch Lin, but it is only superficial, without any specific details."

The man quickly took out a thin little book and placed it on the table. The woman in white threw a small bag of gold coins onto the table. The man with shifty eyes quickly took the bag of gold coins, weighed it for a while, said something, and left quickly. He didn't dare to stay there for a moment longer.

The woman in white took the booklet and looked through it carefully. It contained many of Lin Ran's deeds in Linshan City.

When the woman in white saw that Lin Ran was considered a genius in Linshan City when he was young, she couldn't help but laugh. She raised her head and looked around, then continued to look down.

After finishing reading the booklet, the woman in white had a faint smile on her face. She looked towards the gate of the Lin family across the street and whispered, "One son and one daughter, both are now brilliant talents, and his wife is unknown... He also went out for several years to gain experience... When he returned from the experience, he brought back a son, and later he had a daughter named Lin Hongjia.

Over the years, he has not had any relationship with any woman, and has been concentrating on the development of the family and the cultivation of his children... Jiang Ran? Lin Ran, see you next time! "

When the tea in the pot was almost gone, the woman in white went downstairs to pay the bill. She stared at the Lin family's gate for a while among the crowd on the street. The next moment, the fairy-like figure in white could no longer be seen on the street, as if she had never appeared.

……

Chapter 39: The Arrogant Lin Hongjia

After learning that Lin Ran had returned, Lin Hongjia didn't even care that he looked sloppy and unkempt. He rushed to the outside of the clan meeting hall, stood by the window, looked at Lin Ran who was sitting in the first seat inside, and waved to him continuously.

Lin Ran was listening to the report from the clan's management when he immediately noticed the silly girl standing by the window and waving her hands vigorously.

It was already evening, and when Lin Ran came back, the sun was almost setting. After listening to the report for a while and making sure that there was nothing serious, Lin Ran nodded and said, "That's it for today. Thank you for your hard work during this period.

By the way, remember to urge the youngsters. It won’t be long before their coming-of-age ceremony. Practice well. If they perform well, I will give them extra rewards. Okay, everyone, go down!"

The senior executives were still confused as to why they were suddenly disbanding after all the talks. However, when they saw Lin Hongjia outside, they immediately understood and greeted her one after another: "Ms. Hongjia, good evening!"

"Good evening!"

Lin Hongjia nodded slightly, feeling somewhat anxious. After these guys disappeared, Lin Hongjia rushed directly into the conference room.

As soon as Lin Ran stood up, he was bumped into by Lin Hongjia. He lowered his head and rubbed the little head, saying softly: "What are you doing running over here in such a sloppy manner?"

"How dare you say that? It's been half a year, half a year, and there's still no news. I've even thought about mobilizing my family to look for him... You... You're a bad guy, a damn bastard, I'm going to beat you to death!" Lin Hongjia's eyes were red, and she was crying. She waved her pink fists and hit Lin Ran hard.

Lin Ran also knew that his absence for half a year would make both Lin Hongjia and Lin Chong particularly worried, but he had neglected this.

"Okay, okay, I'm back, right? I was just trapped in some ancient ruins, and it took me a while to get out." Lin Ran said with a smile.

"What, ancient ruins?"

Lin Hongjia raised his head quickly, looking at Lin Ran worriedly, his voice a little lost: "Why did you go to that kind of place alone? Do you know that those places are very dangerous? You got out by luck this time, but what about next time? What about the next time? Don't you know that people will be worried if you do this? You haven't been cursed or anything like that, right? I'll check you out when we get back!"

"Don't be so nervous. It's a heritage relic and there's no fatal danger. It's just that I'm stupid and wasted a lot of time passing the heritage test!" Lin Ran pulled Lin Hongjia to sit down and told him his experience like a story. Of course, he must have concealed the existence of Meng Qing. If she knew about Meng Qing, this little girl would probably be furious!

"It is actually the remains of the Qingling Sword Saint. He was one of the famous ancient masters. You have inherited his legacy. No wonder you have changed so much after returning this time. You have become much younger and more..."

Lin Hongjia's face was flushed, and she didn't say the following words, but in her eyes, Lin Ran, who came back this time, became more charming and handsome. However, she was still angry about his disappearance after half a year. She couldn't give up her principles just because he was handsome.

"I also feel that I have become younger. By the way, where is Xiao Chong? Didn't he know that I was back?" Lin Ran was a little surprised.

When Lin Chong was mentioned, Lin Hongjia's expression froze for a moment, as if he had thought of something. He looked at Lin Ran with resentment, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, he said angrily, "Why did you want to match people up with me? You knew that I only had brotherly and sister feelings for Lin Chong, and that I liked you, but you not only wanted Lin Chong to pursue me, but you also told Lin Chong that I would leave before my coming-of-age ceremony. Do you know how I have been through the past six months?"

If you hadn't pointed that out to me in the first place, wouldn't we be in such trouble today?

I don't care, you have to solve this problem for me quickly, this is all caused by you, you bear the main responsibility. "

Lin Hongjia was so angry that she even grabbed Lin Ran's clothes and shook them hard. When she talked about this, she couldn't help but be filled with anger, and her words came out to Lin Ran like beans.

In the past six months, she has tried every possible way to reject Lin Chong's pursuit as tactfully as possible, but her brother, who grew up with her, rejected her directly and said, "I don't like you, I like your father!"

She could imagine the extremely explosive scene, and she didn't even dare to bet on what the consequences would be. Since this mess was caused by Lin Ran, let Lin Ran handle it.

Lin Ran was silent for a long time after listening to Lin Hongjia's words. He sighed and said, "I used to think that your love for me might be out of attachment, not love between a man and a woman, but you... Oh, forget it, I'll tell Xiao Chong later."

Seeing Lin Ran like this, Lin Hongjia also softened his heart. He took Lin Ran's hand and said coquettishly: "I'm not trying to embarrass you, but this matter cannot be taken lightly. If Lin Chong's love for her takes root in his heart, wouldn't you be cheating on yourself?"

"Girl, what are you thinking about? Who taught you to say such words?" Lin Ran was almost mad at Lin Hongjia's words. She flicked Lin Hongjia's forehead fiercely. How could such a vicious word like "cuckold" come out of the mouth of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl!

The latter covered his forehead, looked at Lin Ran in pain, wrinkled his nose, and said firmly: "I don't care, I will rely on you for the rest of my life. If you push me to someone else, when I become stronger... I... I will beat you too!"
