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

There are a lot of people today, and there are quite a few empty seats near Lin Chong and the area with built-in clearing function.

Lin Ran brought Li Yuhan into the training ground. Many people shouted hello, "Chief". Lin Ran smiled and waved in response, followed by the graceful and elegant Li Yuhan.

Many people shouted "Hello, Chief", but their eyes were fixed on the back of Lin Ran, on Li Yuhan, who was smiling sweetly and full of charm in every smile and frown, especially on her alluring white legs that were faintly visible when she walked.

One word - "Absolutely!"

……

Chapter 49: Coming of Age Ceremony

As for Li Yuhan, everyone just dared to feast their eyes on her and at most talk about her in a low voice. If you want to pursue this kind of thing, you can go to a teahouse or a street shop and buy a book "The Tragedy that Happened in Front of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce" to savor it carefully.

She had many suitors, including quite a few young men, who had spent a lot of money on her and had caused many scandals. She had become a major scenic spot in Linshan City. Only the strong could covet such a beautiful woman with a good figure and an extraordinary status.

Li Yuhan's arrival naturally caused quite a stir. Lin Chong even looked at her a few more times, which was rare. However, his focus was on Lin Ran. He thought to himself, "Father seems to have a lot of connections with this woman. I don't know if he likes her, but this woman is too charming.

Moreover, her strength is low. Although her status is not bad, it is still too inferior to that of my mother. It’s okay to play with her, but I hope my father will not think of marrying her as his legal wife. How about helping him find some in the future? My father has been lonely for so many years, and I haven’t heard that he has ever visited a brothel…”

I'm afraid even Lin Ran himself didn't expect that his good son would actually think of helping him find a woman. If Lin Ran knew about this, he would probably be in tears and laughter. He inexplicably hooked up with his son's future heroine, and his son still wanted to help him find one. What kind of thing is this?

Lin Ran brought Li Yuhan to the platform. After Li Yuhan greeted the senior members of the Lin family, Lin Ran came to the railing, looked down at the bustling crowd below, and began today's leadership speech.

The original traditional version of this coming-of-age ceremony had such complicated procedures that Lin Ran was overwhelmed, so he decided to be bold and innovative this time and change this complicated ceremony. After he proposed it, all the top leaders of the Lin family strongly supported his reform and innovation and had no "objections".

The original ceremony was similar to a blessing. Each person came on stage, and then a bunch of random spices, powders, and some kind of water were sprinkled on that person. Then they had to recite something and it took most of the day before the next person came on stage.

This time, Lin Ran changed it directly. He still gave the blessings and followed the blessings passed down by the Nian Nian tribe. He wore a red scarf with blessings woven on it, and then took a bouquet of flowers that symbolized adulthood. The ceremony was over.

Because it is so novel, many adult members of the tribe found this coming-of-age ceremony very interesting and not complicated. They couldn't help but feel a little envious. After all, previous coming-of-age ceremonies really made people feel irritated and awkward, and they sat on the stage like wooden figures.

The coming-of-age ceremony was performed by the older elders in the clan. Although these elders were unhappy that Lin Ran had thrown away their ancestors' things, they had to admit that their workload was indeed reduced a lot, and it would not delay the subsequent things too much.

After the coming-of-age ceremony is over, it is time to decide the future fate of these little ones who have just stepped into adulthood.

The first is the realm test, and then the battle. The realm test is still the same as before. Just call your name and go on stage to take the test. You can only take the test twice. If your strength is lower than the eighth level of the Body Refining Realm, you can only be assigned to industries outside the family and cannot obtain any skills.

But later Lin Ran changed the rule. If one performs well outside, the clan will hold a competition regularly. Those who perform well can enter the family and obtain good skills and martial arts. At that time, they can also apply for a good family position.

This is also to make the Lin family as dynamic and competitive as possible, so that they can continue to grow bigger and stronger.

This realm test is much stricter than the previous tests. In addition, because of the two guys who broke the test stone platform twice, several test stone platforms were specially prepared this time. If another genius breaks it, a new one can be replaced in time.

The realm test was still conducted by the middle-aged man with an icy face, who mechanically called the young people to come up for the test.

It can only be said that this test is a big exam in their lives. Some are happy and some are sad. Many people still have not passed the eighth level of the Body Refining Realm. And those who may be only one step away from the eighth level of the Body Refining Realm cannot blame anyone but themselves for not working hard enough in the beginning.

There are also many people who were originally unknown but showed amazing talent and strength in this test.

Lin Ran specially had these recorded so that they could be cultivated well as the family's seed players.

The great elder's grandson Lin Lan and the girl named Lin Qing'er have also broken through to the first-star Daoist realm. This is not surprising. If they have the Ningdao Pill but still cannot reach the first-star Daoist realm, it would be a bit unreasonable.

Of course, what people are most looking forward to is the test result of the clan leader's son Lin Chong. Lin Ran's current reputation is known to everyone in Linshan City and even the towns around Linshan City. As a member of the Lin family, they are even more proud that the Lin family has such a helmsman.

It is said that his son has been making great progress since his talent returned. I don’t know what level he has reached now. Will he have a chance to surpass his father Lin Ran in the future?

At this time, Lin Chong came to the stage with a calm face. Following the instructions of the middle-aged man, he punched the black stone tablet with all his strength. Everyone's eyes were focused on the black stone tablet. When they saw the big words that appeared on it, they were all dumbfounded.

"Three stars in the Dao realm!"

This made many people in the audience speechless for a moment. Lin Xi, who was leaning against a big tree, looked at the dazzling numbers under the sunlight and felt a little dizzy. After more than a year of practice, he was already on par with her. If he hadn't wasted those few years...

Listening to the results reported by the tester on the high platform, Li Yuhan was a little stunned. If she remembered correctly, Lin Chong seemed to be over seventeen years old this year. At the age of seventeen, he was at the three-star Taoist realm, which was much better than when she was still lingering in the body refining realm.

Li Yuhan came back to her senses and immediately congratulated Lin Ran, saying, "Congratulations, Patriarch Lin Ran, for having such an outstanding son. I believe that the young master will definitely become a famous and powerful man in the future."

"Hahaha, this kid will definitely surpass me in the future. The young are really formidable!" Lin Ran felt that if he hadn't wasted that half a year, Lin Chong would definitely be stronger. What's more, Xiao Chong had a Taiqing spiritual body. Judging from the quality of the fighting spirit stored in that spiritual body, Xiao Chong should probably be a six-star Taoist now.

But when seeing Lin Chong's outstanding results, everyone suddenly remembered, what would the results of Miss Lin Hongjia, who is also the clan leader's daughter, be like?

But unfortunately, hearing that Lin Hongjia had gone out for training, some of his admirers in the tribe were quite disappointed.

After the realm test is over, those who have passed the test will compete.

However, Lin Chong did not participate directly, because among the current young generation, only Lin Lan, Lin Qing'er and Lin Chong had reached the Tao realm. The reward for this competition was the qualification to enter the family and obtain better skills. Lin Chong already had a skill, and the other two had already been qualified to choose a skill. There was no point in continuing to participate in this competition.

Therefore, if these three do not participate, what will be left is the fight between these younger ones in the Body Refining Realm.

After the competition, it also announced the successful completion of this coming-of-age ceremony. Lin Ran also specially invited a team of chefs who specialized in preparing banquets to set up the banquet in the training ground, which also gave those young people an opportunity to have a meal together.

Lin Chong didn't want to attend at first, but seeing that rare woman Lin Xi invited him to sit down in a nice voice, he stayed to attend the banquet.

There were not many people at Lin Chong's table, only four including Lin Chong. The other three were Lin Xi, Lin Lan, and Lin Qing'er. These four could be said to be the most talented among the current young generation of the Lin family.

Lin Xi poured tea for the others, then looked at Lin Chong. Her attitude was much better than before, at least she no longer looked vicious and sullen. She said, "Lin Chong, what are your plans for the future? Do you want to participate in the academy selection competition to be held in the imperial capital in the middle of next year? With your talent and strength, you will surely be able to enter the academy smoothly, right?"

"Sister Lin Xi, what is the academy selection competition like?" Lin Qing'er at the side suddenly interrupted and asked.

As a student who has been studying in the academy for one or two years, Lin Xi definitely has a say in this regard. She smiled and explained, "The academy selection competition is held in the imperial capital Anling every one or two years. Everyone under the age of 20 can participate in this competition, but the number of admissions is not fixed. It depends entirely on the mood of the academy. Our Li Dynasty has a good source of students, so those academies will recruit a lot, and some local academies will not recruit at all.

However, the two academies ranked at the top, Canglong Academy and Shengqiong Academy, have very fixed enrollment policies. They only recruit the top two students, depending on their choices.

The remaining three academies recruit more people. The third-ranked Tianli Academy seems to have always recruited about 100 people, Songling Academy has more, about 200 to 300 people, and Linghua Academy is for girls who perform well, and basically all of them can get in."

"So what are the characteristics of the major academies?" Lin Chong asked suddenly.

“I don’t know much about this. Our Linghua Academy only accepts girls, which is a feature, but for others…” Lin Xi racked his brains and suddenly clapped his hands, looking at Lin Chong and the others, he said, “If you are interested in swords, or want to be a swordsman, then Tianli Academy must be your first choice.

I heard that Tianli Academy has produced many talented swordsmen, and some of them were recommended by the academy to a very powerful sect in the Central Region.

Do you know the Central Region? There are many powerful people there. Everyone says that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Central Region..."

When it comes to the Central Region, Lin Xi was very excited and even attracted young people from other tables to come and listen to her stories. After all, many members of the Lin family might not even have the chance to visit the capital of the Li Dynasty, and leaving Linshan City was a big deal. But Lin Xi went to Jiezhou, which is next to their Liezhou, and studied in the academy there. In terms of knowledge, she is definitely more experienced.

This is like others have traveled abroad, but you may not have left the city. Is this a kind of sadness? Maybe, but some people may like it, while others may be forced to do so.

But if you have the chance, it’s better to go out more often.

As Lin Chong listened to Lin Xi's talk, he couldn't help but feel longing in his heart. His father had told him many stories about the outside world since he was a child. Every time he listened to them, he had the urge to go and see them immediately.

"Tianli Academy? And the mysterious sword-wielding sect in the Central Region, I must go and take a look at it someday!"

Lin Chong couldn't help but clench his fists. He was now looking forward to the future training...

Chapter 50 Before Leaving

After the coming-of-age ceremony, Lin Ran rested for a day or two, then took the little ones who had passed the coming-of-age ceremony and realm test to the library to get the skills. For some of the little ones who performed well in the competition, Lin Ran personally selected some higher-level skills and martial arts that were quite suitable for these little ones, and strictly warned them not to pass them on to others.

After all, if others knew that you had a lot of high-level skills and martial arts, you could still run away if you were alone, but if it was a family, then you would be guilty of possessing a treasure and be targeted, and the whole family would be wiped out. The last incident with the Celestial Clan is still fresh in our memory.

Moreover, he was preparing to go out for training, and he did not want to come back without a home, so before leaving, Lin Ran directly pulled the core senior members of the Lin family and taught them well, for fear that these guys would bring him big trouble and come back, especially those younger members of the family who were usually arrogant, who had to be strictly educated and supervised.

During this period, an interesting thing was discovered in Linshan City. The ancient ruins that had caused a sensation in Linshan City a few years ago finally emerged. There was a huge ancient palace maze, a bluestone stele with ancient characters, and people also found a giant red devil ape with the strength of a spiritual elixir realm nearby.

The news soon spread throughout the entire Li Dynasty due to the spread of this news by people with ulterior motives. The royal family, including the three major families, sent people into the Nanhuang Mountains one after another. They also tried to prevent the news from spreading outside and deliberately blocked it.

Many forces even came forward to invite Lin Ran to explore together, and they said that all we need is one or two achievements.

However, Lin Ran found an excuse to refuse. He had already emptied the place, so why go there? But just like before, everyone went there, and if you didn't go you would seem like an oddball. Lin Ran still sent some people over to join in the fun and have some fun.

After a while of commotion, someone discovered that everything in the ancient ruins had been emptied. He was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot. A large group of people had been busy in the Nanhuang Mountains for such a long time, causing a lot of chaos, but in the end, they got nothing.

This made Lin Ran very happy. It turned out that happiness is built on the pain of others. It was very interesting.

……

One day, the morning sun poured in through the window, casting a layer of light spots in the room. Lin Ran was talking to Lin Chong.

At this time, Lin Chong had changed into a simple, comfortable and easy-to-move-in training suit. Lin Ran solemnly handed a low-level space ring to Lin Chong and gave him some instructions before leaving.

"Xiao Chong, this may be the first time in your life that you step out of Linshan City." Lin Ran patted Lin Chong's shoulder, looked at Lin Chong who was almost as tall as himself, and said seriously: "You are a child with good talent and understanding, but if you want to become a real strong man, you must get rid of this tepid state of cultivation.

Use the battle between life and death to activate your potential. Only after going through the trials of blood and fire can you truly transform into a strong person. Do you understand?"

"I understand, father!" Lin Chong clenched the ring in his hand and said firmly.

Lin Ran was still a little worried. Although he would follow Lin Chong, it would take some time for him to set off. At this moment, he was like an old nanny, constantly instructing Lin Chong, such as what was in the space ring, how to use it, and what to do outside, explaining it in detail.

Lin Chong did not show any impatience. With red eyes, he listened quietly and kept his father's words of warning firmly in his mind.

Lin Chong did not let his father come to see him off. Instead, he left the Lin family's back door alone with empty hands and silently. Under the gaze of the family guards, he merged into the crowd and disappeared at the end of the street.

Lin Chong quietly left the city where he had lived for more than ten years and embarked on his own journey of life experience...

……

A few days later, in the study room of the president of Jinling Chamber of Commerce, Lin Ran sat in the guest seat, quietly waiting for Li Yuhan to pick up something.

"bump!"

With a slight sound of the door opening, Li Yuhan walked in. Today, Li Yuhan was wearing a dark green cheongsam, revealing a piece of seductive whiteness as she walked.

Sitting in the main seat, Li Yuhan crossed her legs, took out a jade box from the space ring, pushed it to Lin Ran, and said unhappily: "This time I found a more advanced mask, which is much better than the previous one. As long as it is not too damaged, it can repair itself.

As for the disadvantages, it is actually not that bad. It just cannot defend against the strong ones like the Dragon Transformation Realm. It is still OK for those below the Dragon Transformation Realm."

Lin Ran opened the jade box and saw that it was the same as the previous mask, a ball of cold, dough-like substance at first. He put the mask into the space ring.

Lin Ran took out two jade scrolls, looked at Li Yuhan who had a resentful look on her face and said, "I'll also give you two good things. I'll give you this technique and martial arts to practice. Just consider it as a reward for your great help to me this time."

Hearing Lin Ran's words, Li Yuhan was stunned. Out of curiosity, she picked up one of the scrolls. She was also an expert in knowledge. When she saw the scroll, she knew that this was definitely the highest level way of storing martial arts skills. This kind of technology is relatively rare nowadays.

After putting it between her eyebrows and checking the contents, Li Yuhan stood up in panic. Her narrow and beautiful eyes were filled with shock. She whispered, "Where did you get such a high-level technique?"

"I've taken a look at the Heavenly Grade Intermediate Martial Arts, the Heavenly Fox Skill, and I think it's very suitable for you to practice. Maybe if you work hard at practicing this technique, you can achieve a good level of cultivation." Lin Ran smiled.

This set of skills was naturally obtained by him in the Sword Saint's ruins. Although this set of skills is generally mediocre among the collections in the Sword Saint's ruins, it is relatively special.

If one is the type who is naturally charming or has some fox bloodline, practicing this skill can be like adding wings to a tiger. It is said that by practicing it to the end, not only will one be extremely powerful, but one's every frown and smile will be able to make the other person be completely obsessed with them, and they will fall into the illusion of mad love and be unable to extricate themselves.

This sounds impressive, but whether it is possible to cultivate to this level is still debatable.

"Are you really giving it to me? These...the things I bought for you for field training and the mask are not as valuable as this volume of martial arts you gave me!" Li Yuhan's words became a little unsatisfactory. She had never seen a mid-level heavenly martial arts volume many times, let alone practicing it in her hands.

"I said I'm giving it to you, so it's for you. This volume of skills is useless to me, so you should practice well. I don't want your face to be full of wrinkles the next time I see you."

"Go to hell, I'm still young, how could I have wrinkles!" Li Yuhan said angrily.

"Not now, but not in the future. Do you want to waste your life like this? Maybe after you practice this technique, you will become a charming fairy who can seduce everyone. You will be powerful and have a beautiful face. With just a wave of your hand, men will surround you and fight for you. If you want to be the emperor of the Li Dynasty, you can become one."

Lin Ran also deliberately used a low voice to persuade Li Yuhan to practice this technique. He really wanted to see what it would be like to practice this technique, and he felt that it would be very suitable for Li Yuhan.

"Do you really want to watch me practice?" Li Yuhan lowered her head, staring at the two jade scrolls on the table, biting her rosy lips, and asked this question.

Lin Ran was stunned for a long time before he nodded and said, "Well, I hope to see you practice. I hope that even after decades, I can still see you like this when I look back."

"Then you wait, I will definitely charm you to death in the future, and let you be squeezed dry by me in bed!" Li Yuhan's narrow eyes curved into a charming arc, and she spoke extremely wild words in a seductive and numbing voice.

"Hahaha, I'm looking forward to this day. In more than a year, I might stay in the imperial capital Anling for a while. If you come back, I can check how your cultivation is going. Also, please help me take care of the Lin family while I'm away and give me more help from time to time." Lin Ran said with a smile.

"That'll cost extra!" Li Yuhan said with a proud smile.

"Then I'll definitely give you a few hundred million more."

With a smile on his face, Lin Ran stood up, waved his hand, and said, "I'm leaving. Don't miss me too much. There are too many women who miss me. One more person like you is a bit annoying for me."

Li Yuhan also stood up. After listening to Lin Ran's words, she also learned the skills of rebuttal and said, "Then I will miss you more and make you worry more!"

"As long as you like it, it's because I'm so charming!" Lin Ran boasted shamelessly. Just as he reached the door, he heard hurried footsteps from behind. Before he turned around, he felt a soft and warm body hitting his back. A rich fragrance rushed into his nostrils, and a pair of slender arms tightly embraced his waist.

Lin Ran was a little confused by Li Yuhan's "farewell" before leaving. He quietly enjoyed it for a while, and heard Li Yuhan's soft voice: "When I become stronger in the future, I will eat you, and then I will not be responsible and squeeze you dry until you can't pay your taxes to my wife."

"Can you please not be so perverted? I think you are even more perverted than me!" Lin Ran was really frightened by Li Yuhan's fierce words. There is always someone stronger than you!

"Humph, isn't this the case that people get redder when they are around red people, and blacker when they are around black people? You taught that to me, Lin Ran!" Li Yuhan loosened his hand, and before leaving, he slapped Lin Ran's butt hard, and then waved his hand expressionlessly to drive him away: "Go away, go away, we don't need you now!"

"You little girl!"

Lin Ran glared at Li Yuhan, and his figure flashed. A "pop" sounded very crisply in the study. Li Yuhan's pretty face flushed and she covered her buttocks. She wanted to find Lin Ran in shame and anger, but Lin Ran was no longer in the study. Only a voice rang in her ears: "Very elastic and smooth, see you in a year!"

"Never again!"

Li Yuhan yelled angrily. She could feel her face getting so hot that it seemed like smoking. Her slightly sore butt seemed to be telling her the result of jumping around in the tiger's mouth.

"Hmph, I will definitely fight back next time!" Li Yuhan covered her hips with one hand and waved her little fist with the other, angrily punching the air a few times, as if Lin Ran was right in front of her.

After a while, Li Yuhan stopped her silly behavior and sighed softly.
