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

"As long as you pass it successfully, you will definitely get a good reward!" Li Yuhan said softly, her little hands moving restlessly on Lin Ran's back, making Lin Ran a little agitated.

Seeing Hua Xiong and Hua Feng coming over, Li Yuhan pulled Lin Ran up and said with a smile: "Master Hua Xiong and Master Hua Feng, good evening, did you enjoy the party?"

"Hahaha!" Hua Xiong laughed loudly and said, "I drank a lot of fine wine at this party. It was like nectar, which made people linger. If Miss Li doesn't mind, can I take a few pots back and taste them slowly?"

"Of course you can!" Li Yuhan covered her mouth and chuckled. She looked around inadvertently and found that after Hua Xiong's laughter just now, many people at the party looked over here. They all noticed her and the young man with a strange face next to her, and started talking about it.

This made Li Yuhan curse inwardly: "Damn old thing!"

Even though she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but scold the head of the Hua family. Although the grandsons of the Hua family were very incompetent, the heads of the Hua family, including the former head Hua Yunlong, were not simple.

"I wonder who this young man is..." Hua Xiong directed his anger at Lin Ran, stretched out his hand and looked at Lin Ran with a smile.

Lin Ran glanced at Hua Xiong, with a faint smile on his face, stretched out his hand and gently shook it, saying: "My surname is Jiang, my name is Ran, Jiang Ran!"

"I have heard of the reputation of the Patriarch of the Hua family before. His strength of the Seven Stars in the Spiritual Pill Realm is enough to dominate an area. Seeing him today, I find that he is indeed extraordinary!"

Lin Ran chuckled.

Hua Xiong's face changed. He didn't expect that the young man would reveal his strength so easily. However, he hid his expression well and said with a smile, "How can I be so powerful? Before in Linshan City, Master Jiang Ran had a conflict with my useless son.

Mr. Jiang Ran may have returned to the Honghuang Holy Land to meet his master. I visited Miss Li many times, hoping to meet Mr. Jiang Ran, but I didn’t expect to run into him today. I’m really lucky! "

Hua Xiong's words caused a small stir among the people at the party. The Honghuang Holy Land was not unfamiliar with these dignitaries present. The young man in front of them who was so close to Li Yuhan was actually from the Honghuang Holy Land. Doesn't that mean the royal family...

Of course, Lin Chong didn't know much about the Honghuang Holy Land, but Ye Wanxi happened to know something about it. After she explained it to him, he felt even more weird. If that was the case, then this Master Jiang Ran was very close to Li Yuhan in Linshan City, but why was he so close to his father later? Was he two-timing him?

The eldest princess was also attracted by the commotion here. She learned the reason from her subordinates. She walked over gracefully and came to Li Yuhan and said coquettishly, "Yuhan, Master Jiang Ran is here, and you didn't tell me. If you neglect Master Jiang Ran, I will hold you accountable!"

After scolding Li Yuhan, the eldest princess smiled and pulled Lin Ran, saying, "Master Jiang Ran, please forgive us for not entertaining you well this time."

"No, your wine is good. Please take a few jugs away for me when the time comes!" Lin Ran nodded, glanced at Hua Xiong and said.

"Of course you can!" The eldest princess mediated again and found a reason to take Li Yuhan and Lin Ran away, which ruined Hua Xiong's plan.

They could only watch as the eldest princess led the two people out of the party hall. Other people at the party were discussing the identity of this young man from the prehistoric holy land beside Li Yuhan that the eldest princess could respect him so much.

The princess took Li Yuhan and Lin Ran around and around until they came to a more secret palace. She lit a candle and sat on a chair. After pouring a glass of warm water for Li Yuhan and Lin Ran, she smiled very gently and said, "Yuhan, can you please tell me who this young master is?"

"From the Honghuang Holy Land..." Li Yuhan was a little scared and spoke in a low voice.

"Do you think I believe it?" Princess Li Jinling angrily scolded, "I was wondering why the Hua family broke off the engagement inexplicably, and you actually resorted to this method. It would be fine if you used it once, but why did you do it again today? In front of so many dignitaries in the capital, are you crazy?

If the people from the Honghuang Holy Land really knew about this, how would we deal with it? Today, that immortal old thing Hua Xiong has been...”

Lin Ran, who was standing aside, was watching Li Jinling who had been talking non-stop to Li Yuhan. At this moment, this noble and beautiful woman looked like a shrewish woman full of complaints, which made Lin Ran feel funny and even laughed out loud.

"Pfft!"

Hearing this laughter, the two mother and daughter looked at Lin Ran. Li Jinling said angrily: "What are you laughing at? Do you know what the consequences will be if you help her do such a crazy thing? You..."

Lin Ran also accepted the baptism of saliva. When Li Jinling was out of breath after scolding him, he sat back, drank a few sips of water, looked at Lin Ran and said, "What identity do you use from the Honghuang Holy Land?"

"She is the disciple of Gu Qiumeng, the Holy Lord of Honghuang Holy Land. She is so elusive that it is difficult to verify if she has accepted a disciple!" Lin Ran explained.

"Gu Qiumeng? How do you know this person?" Li Jinling looked at Lin Ran in shock. She only learned about this kind of thing by chance from the royal secrets. How could her daughter, who was just a random person, know this person?

Lin Ran couldn't possibly say that he knew this from reading novels, so he could only make up an excuse and said, "I've seen Gu Qiumeng before."

"Is this true?" Li Jinling was stunned for a moment, then continued to ask, "What is your identity?"

Lin Ran smiled and shook his head, saying: "Just treat me as a nobody, today's incident is not as bad as you think, Madam.

We are still left with a relatively mysterious identity, and they cannot really verify it. As long as the follow-up operations are done properly, the impact of this incident will not be that great."

"I hope so!" Li Jinling shook her head helplessly.

Li Jinling gave some more instructions and then asked Li Yuhan to ask someone to send Lin Ran back, while she wanted to have a good chat with Li Yuhan and her daughter.

Only the mother and daughter were left in the palace. Li Jinling looked at her daughter, who had changed so much. Her strength had even reached the Dao Yuan realm, which was considered to be keeping up with the pace of the younger generation in the capital. She couldn't help but ask, "Did you change so much because of meeting that man just now?"

Li Yuhan was about to deny it, but after thinking for a while, she nodded seriously and said firmly: "Without him, there would be no Li Yuhan today!"

"Am I not important? Without my belly, you wouldn't be who you are today!" Li Jinling said angrily.

Li Yuhan: …

Li Yuhan was not surprised by her mother's careless words. Her mother had always had two appearances since she was a child, one in front of people and another behind their backs. Her real appearance was like this. She didn't look like a noble and elegant princess, but more like a shrew.

Li Jinling looked at Li Yuhan's increasingly beautiful face, and couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch Li Yuhan's face. She showed a rare genuine and gentle expression, pulled Li Yuhan into her arms, and said, "It was mother's fault for what happened back then. If I had been a little tougher, I wouldn't have forced you to have such an engagement. I've made you unhappy all these years!"

"I don't blame you..." Li Yuhan snuggled in her mother's arms, with a bit of bitterness in the corners of her eyes. She could understand the pressure her mother was under in the royal family. The emperor only cared about his cultivation and ignored state affairs. The dynasty was full of crises. It was not easy for her mother to maintain a balance. If she had strong strength, why would her mother do this?

"We must become stronger!"

Li Yuhan secretly made a vow in her heart that only with strength can she control her own destiny and truly do what she likes.

……

Chapter 65: Grand Auction

"By the way, what exactly is being auctioned at your auction? Can you tell me?"

In the study where Li Yuhan worked, Lin Ran asked curiously.

It has been a few days since the academy selection competition ended, and the auction that Jinling Chamber of Commerce has spent a lot of effort to promote is about to be held, but Lin Ran is still very curious about what will be auctioned.

As a result, Li Yuhan didn't even raise her head, buried her head in her desk, wrote furiously, and said casually: "You will know when the time comes!"

Lin Ran:......

Li Yuhan has changed and become more independent. She used to be like a little bird, but now she is stronger and has become more assertive.

Bored Lin Ran could only eat fruits and read boring ancient books to pass the time.

Li Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief after finishing the things at hand. She thought that if she finished the things at hand in advance, and even the things that would come later, she could spend more time with Lin Ran.

"Will he be unhappy if I ignore him like this?" Li Yuhan felt a little worried and anxious.

But when she raised her head and saw Lin Ran asleep on the recliner, the lingering sadness turned into a smile at the corners of her mouth. She quietly sat down on the recliner next to Lin Ran, tilted her head and just looked at Lin Ran quietly.

The summer sun shines through the window, forming spots of light that fall on the floor of the study. The breeze blowing in from the window brings some summer heat.

In the study, Li Yuhan felt this moment of tranquility. Looking at Lin Ran, who made her happy and sad, she felt a little reluctant in her heart. It would be great if there could be more days like this.

But she knew very well in her heart that Lin Ran would leave the Li Dynasty and even leave Liezhou.

She didn't know how many years would pass before she came back. If she was still so weak, she might not look like she does now and become an old woman.

When Lin Ran comes back again, she hopes that Lin Ran will still see her as beautiful and charming as always.

Li Yuhan looked at the corners of Lin Ran's mouth that were drooling, and couldn't help but stretch out her white jade fingers to gently wipe it off. Her eyes flashed with a moving light, and she whispered in a low voice: "It would be great if you could always accompany me like this~"

After saying that, Li Yuhan shook her head with a smile, cursing herself in her heart: "Why do you think so much about this, little transparent person..."

……

The auction held by Jinling Chamber of Commerce this time was held in the Royal Palace's extremely spacious, even ridiculous, conference hall. But even so, the attraction of this auction was still a little unexpected.

Fortunately, Jinling Chamber of Commerce responded quickly and installed additional seats outside the auction venue. The dignitaries in the royal capital could enter the inner venue through the VIP channel, and those of noble status could go directly to the boxes.

But when Lin Ran and Li Yuhan arrived at the auction venue, they were still a little shocked.

Lin Ran looked at the endless crowd and couldn't help but be a little shocked. He looked at Li Yuhan next to him and said, "Your promotion this time is really powerful. The flow of people is too crazy."

"With the threshold standards lowered, and with the support of many mysterious items and the academy selection competition, this can be said to be the most grand auction held by our Jinling Chamber of Commerce." Li Yuhan said confidently. Most of the auctions were handled by her, and it was also a test for her to become the president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. If successful, this position will be as stable as Mount Tai in the future.

Even the royal troops were dispatched to maintain order at this auction and guard the safety and order of the auction. Li Yuhan brought Lin Ran to the dedicated VIP channel.

Near this passage, there were many people wearing armor and holding sharp swords and guns that flashed cold light. Anyone who broke in here would be politely sent back. Some of the most rampant and excessive people would be subdued on the spot and sent to the prison cells in the royal capital.

With these guards here to intimidate, looking from a high vantage point, they actually managed to forcibly separate a large space from the dark crowd of people.

Lin Ran glanced at the guards and couldn't help but use his spiritual power to transmit his voice to Li Yuhan and ask, "Are these guards from your royal family? There are so many people in the Spiritual Transformation Realm guarding here, it's a bit scary. And that tall and strong man is even infinitely close to the Spiritual Pill Realm."

This group of people stood here, and the bloody and powerful murderous aura emanating from their bodies made the people around them feel depressed.

"They are the guard team in the imperial palace. I asked mother to select some of them. The one you mentioned who is infinitely close to the spiritual elixir realm is the captain of this guard team. The ones who guard the order outside the auction venue are the usual executive team in the royal capital." Li Yuhan explained to Lin Ran through voice transmission. She put a lot of effort into this auction, and this kind of security must be given top priority.

This dedicated passage has many strictly trained receptionists. When someone enters here, they will confirm their pass and then respectfully invite them in.

Because this place was not completely blocked, many people were able to see some dignitaries entering through this passage, and they would exclaim from time to time.

After all, there are many powerful people and forces that are very famous in the royal capital. Some of these big figures are really rare to most ordinary people.

Li Yuhan led Lin Ran into the passage. The sturdy man who Lin Ran had praised came up to Li Yuhan and said respectfully, "Miss Li, are you here to inspect? We haven't found any problems yet. We also have strict defenses over at the warehouse, and we often take turns to stand guard and inspect!"

"Captain Gu, I am confident in your abilities. If the auction goes smoothly, I will definitely reward Captain Gu and your brothers!" Li Yuhan replied with a smile.

After hearing Li Yuhan's words, Captain Gu seemed to be more motivated. After saluting Li Yuhan, he continued to patrol around.

Lin Ran and Li Yuhan walked into the passage. Lin Ran glanced at Captain Gu's back and asked curiously, "Your words have a built-in buff, and also a function of boosting blood?"

Although she didn't quite understand the strange words in Lin Ran's words, Li Yuhan still understood the rest and explained softly, "No matter how much you say, it's not as useful as money. I paid a lot to hire them. I promised them a lot of money, and I also took care of their families and gave them a good job to make a living. I still need their help in the future!"

"What a great trick!" Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh.

Li Yuhan has made a lot of progress now compared to when he was in Linshan City, both in terms of work and personal growth.

After walking through the passage for about a few minutes, the view ahead suddenly became clear, like a paradise. A huge auction hall appeared in front of Lin Ran. The auction hall was filled with densely packed seats. This was the first time Lin Ran had ever seen an auction of this scale. The auction in Linshan City was really dwarfed by this one.

The auction hall was quite noisy because many people had already come in and taken their seats. At one side, there was a young woman wearing a red cheongsam, showing off her exquisite and graceful curves. Her chest, in particular, was magnificent and as white as a snow-capped mountain, which made people's eyes glued to it and unable to be pulled away.

The woman walked up to Lin Ran and said, "Sir, may I ask who you are..."

"what!"

When the woman saw Li Yuhan sticking her head out from the side, she hurriedly said respectfully, "Hello, President!"

"Go and do something else!" Li Yuhan said with a hint of annoyance, waving her hand.

After receiving the order, the young woman hurriedly retreated.

Li Yuhan saw that Lin Ran was still looking at the woman's back, and couldn't help but snorted, and said in a cold voice: "Still looking, if you like it so much, do you want me to send it to your bed, young master?"

Lin Ran looked away awkwardly, put his fist to his mouth, coughed and said, "Is there a private room? It's a bit noisy here!"

"Follow me!" Li Yuhan hummed softly and turned into another passage.

Seeing this, Lin Ran hurriedly followed. Not sure if she was serious, but Li Yuhan walked a few steps faster and always walked in front of Lin Ran. Her snake-like waist swayed a little more, as if she wanted to attract Lin Ran's attention.

This made Lin Ran feel a little agitated. If this continued for a long time, would he get suffocated?

The location of the auction box is quite interesting in design. It is located at a high place, but not too far from the auction table, and is just the right distance for clear viewing.

The interior design of the box is very exquisite and extremely luxurious. Once you enter the box, the noisy sounds outside are blocked out. When you come to the bed and look down, you can clearly see many details of the auction table and the auction venue.

Li Yuhan took Lin Ran into the box, pointed to the corner, and some button-like things next to the soft and luxurious chair, and said proudly: "I heard you mention it before. The soundproofing measures in these boxes are very good, and the small square-like thing in the corner can clearly transmit the sound from the auction table into the box.

You only need to press the button on the chair to amplify your voice so that everyone in the audience can hear it.

But these things cost a lot of money, so our commission for this auction will be much higher, and the private rooms will definitely be even more expensive."

Lin Ran was listening to Li Yuhan's explanation, he suddenly felt something was wrong, subconsciously he went to the window and looked at other boxes. Ever since he was cleansed by Hua Qianqian, the leader of Hua Sect, his soul is now very sharp, it seems that his soul has been elevated. He can feel that someone seemed to have scanned him with soul power.

Use soul power to scan the auction hall and rule out those who have nothing to do. It means that they are coveting some of the items in the auction and want to steal them or snatch them away after others have bid for them.

"As expected, a big tree attracts the wind, and it attracts some guys with sinister intentions." Lin Ran thought secretly in his heart.

.....

Chapter 66: Mysterious Items at the Auction

"Yuhan, have you taken any protective measures on your auction platform?" Lin Ran couldn't help but ask.

"Auction table? Does the auction table need protection?" Li Yuhan was stunned and a little confused for a moment, because in her opinion, anyone who dared to touch the items of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce auction in the capital of the Li Dynasty must be thinking that he did not live long enough.

"I just sensed that someone was using soul power to investigate this auction site, so I asked you if you had protected the auction table.

But it's too late to do it now, but you must strictly control the items in the auction, or bring them over here directly. If I'm here, I should be able to prevent those guys. "Lin Ran said seriously.

He knew that this auction was related to Li Yuhan's future and destiny. If it was successful, he would be a stable president of Jinling Chamber of Commerce in the future. But if it failed, he dared not even imagine the consequences.

"You come with me!"

Li Yuhan immediately understood the pros and cons of the matter and took Lin Ran out of the box and headed towards the warehouse where the auction items were stored.

After circling around the huge auction venue for several times, they finally arrived at the warehouse entrance, which was also heavily guarded by Li Yuhan. Captain Gu of the escort team was also guarding the entrance. When he saw Li Yuhan coming from a distance, Captain Gu came up to her and said respectfully, "Miss Li!"

"I need to check if there are any problems with the items in the warehouse!" Li Yuhan said bluntly.
