Shangguan Mengqing said calmly: "When the monsters come to attack us, will we still have time to play these games?"

"At least he is still thoughtful now." Lin Ran said with a smile.

Shangguan Mengqing said unhappily, "Don't just sit there and watch the fire. According to the information I received, the team at Linghua Academy is led by your good sister Qianyi, and the team at Tianli Academy is currently led by your son Lin Chong. They may be affected by the time."

"Ah, Xiao Chong and Qian Yi?!"

Lin Ran was stunned, but he was relieved in his heart. But suddenly he was stunned again, looking at Shangguan Mengqing and asked curiously: "How do you know that Xiao Chong is my son? I remember I didn't tell you?"

"Shouldn't I investigate? A middle-aged perverted uncle with strange whereabouts, unknown background, who likes to make moves, can't walk when he sees a woman, and not very good-looking, shouldn't I investigate?" Shangguan Mengqing listed a lot of faults at once, making Lin Ran's face turn red.

"you you…"

Lin Ran looked at Shangguan Mengqing and wanted to say something back, but he couldn't find anything to refute. In the end, he could only say weakly: "Sharp-tongued girl..."

"That sounds very old-fashioned, and it fits my stereotype of middle-aged uncles!" Shangguan Mengqing folded his hands in front of his chest and looked at Lin Ran with a smile in his eyes.

Lin Ran: "..."

Stop scolding me, stop scolding me, I know I am a middle-aged man!

"Let's go. Let's go check out where the Sword Sect is stationed. We shouldn't be joining them too soon. If we join them too early, some things will be difficult for us to handle."

Shangguan Mengqing patted Lin Ran's dejected head. Seeing that Lin Ran was a little disappointed, she couldn't help but lean over to Lin Ran's ear and blew a breath of hot air, teasing: "Let me ask you a question. Do you know what kind of person I like?"

"What kind?" Lin Ran asked curiously.

It can't be a middle-aged uncle, right?

"I don't know either, maybe it's because he's too old!" Shangguan Mengqing said with a faint smile on his face, then walked out of the alley with his hands behind his back.

Lin Ran was still in a daze, looking at Shangguan Mengqing's back, and the words kept echoing in his ears: "Maybe he is old!"

Oh, I have to admit that Lin Ran was a little tempted by this big promise. There was even a moment when he wanted to rush forward to express his feelings. Could he be poor Tom?

.....

Chapter 161: Can you let your child serve me tea at his wedding?

In the city, the station of the Sword Sect and its alliance is located in the northwest corner of the city, occupying a large area. Several of the most "luxurious" houses are occupied by the Sword Sect. In fact, to call them luxurious is at best just a little bigger and more exquisite.

The people from Linghua, Songling and Tianli academies could only choose what was left by others. The main figures of these three academies gathered in the house of Linghua Academy at this time, and talked in secret behind closed doors.

In the room, Linghua Academy is represented by Wen Qianyi, Songling Academy is represented by Vice President Yue Lei, whom Lin Ran is familiar with, and Tianli Academy is represented by student Lin Chong. Lin Chong's performance in the secret realm has proved that he can lead Tianli Academy to go further.

Although Tianli Academy also sent in a group of elders at the Nirvana level, it is a pity that the performance of these Nirvana elders was not as good as Lin Chong.

Under the suppression of the secret realm's restrictions, the performance of most people in the Nirvana realm is on par with that of the Lingdan realm, and some are even worse than those outstanding young people in the Lingdan realm.

For those elders in the Nirvana Realm, the days in the secret realm are getting harder and harder. They should not have been attracted to the secret realm in the first place. As a result, they have not gained much benefit until now, and their performance is not as good as that of the younger generations. They are in a very embarrassing situation.

Wen Qianyi from Linghua Academy has not been in a very good condition recently, which can be seen from her slightly messy and frizzy hair and bloodshot eyes.

Yue Lei, the dean of Songling Academy, who is the most senior here and the organizer of this meeting, said directly: "Recently, those super sects have been acting more and more excessively, and they keep provoking our people with words. When we are provoked, we just jump up and down, and we go over to fight with others, but we get taught a lesson instead."

"I believe that every company should have this situation. Shouldn't we come up with some strategies?"

It was obvious that Yue Lei was very dissatisfied with the recent situation, but the other two families didn't even react, which made him, who already had a bad temper, even more frustrated.

Ye Wanxi, who was sitting next to Lin Chong and was Lin Chong's think tank, said after receiving Lin Chong's signal: "Vice President Yue Lei, we understand your anxiety. Our Tianli Academy has also been greatly affected, but at this stage we can only endure it. Our current strength is simply not enough to touch the super sects that are grouped together."

When Yue Lei heard Ye Wanxi say this, he also sighed. He was also a smart man. After his initial anger, he naturally thought of this after calming down.

“If only the backbone of the Sword Sect hadn’t disappeared…” Yue Lei sighed.

When Wen Qianyi, who had been sitting quietly, heard Yue Lei say this, her hands under the table could not help but tightly pinch the hem of her skirt...

Even Lin Chong's expression flashed a little frustration when he heard Yue Lei's sigh, but he quickly adjusted himself and said, "Vice President Yue Lei, let's restrict our people from conflicting with those super sects in the near future. If the Sword Sect wants to break away from us, we are no match for it. We can't find a safer place to stay now."

Lin Chong was not lying.

After he came in, he and Wanxi and the others traveled to many places in the secret realm. It can be said that no matter where in the secret realm, at night, it becomes a paradise for mad monsters and their hell.

But they have been stationed in this city for a period of time, but no monsters have approached the surrounding area, which is enough to illustrate the mystery of this city.

Yue Lei nodded and sighed, "This is the only way. Recently, those guys have been guarding the north gate leading to the depths very tightly. Is there something in there?"

"do not know…"

Lin Chong and others said they didn't know. Yue Lei had nothing to say and could only leave in shame. The meeting finally ended like this, but after the meeting, Lin Chong and Ye Wanxi did not leave.

Ye Wanxi came to Wen Qianyi, took her hand and comforted her: "Sister Wen, you should go and have a rest. If Uncle Lin comes back and sees you like this, he will be sad."

"That's right... Sister Wen, let me take on the task of finding my father. I have recently asked my brothers to help look for him, and there will definitely be results soon!" Lin Chong also stood up and said.

After reuniting with Wen Qianyi's team, Lin Chong learned the news from Wen Qianyi. Although he was struck by lightning at that moment, Lin Chong believed that his father must still be alive.

While stationed in this city, Lin Chong would still look for his father's traces in the name of various exploration missions.

"Yes, Sister Wen, let Lin Chong go find it. You really need to take a rest. Your current condition is not right!" Ye Wanxi also advised.

But Wen Qianyi shook her head and said in a hoarse voice: "I won't rest until I find you. If I had rushed back to help that day, I'm afraid the senior wouldn't have disappeared!"

Lin Chong and Ye Wanxi looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Wen Qianyi had basically felt guilty about why she didn't rush back at that time, but when they thought about the horrific tide of monsters that night, they felt frightened now.

At the same time, I also admire Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing's courage to rush into the tide of monsters alone.

When Lin Chong learned that his father was helping Shangguan Mengqing and others to evacuate, he felt happy but also felt it was not worth it.

He was glad that his father was still the father he admired and loved. It was unfortunate that his father had to leave for a group of strangers and his life or death was unknown.

When Lin Chong and others were talking in the house, a huge noise suddenly broke out outside, which was very noisy and annoying.

Soon someone came to the front of the house, knocked on the door and shouted, "Senior Lin Chong, the Beiming Holy Land has brought a bunch of people here to cause trouble again!"

"what!"

When Lin Chong heard this, he rushed over and opened the door. The student from Tianli Academy briefly explained the whole story to Lin Chong, and soon Lin Chong followed the student out of the house.

Wen Qianyi in the room saw this scene and said, "I'll go with you to see what happened!"

"it is good!"

Ye Wanxi responded and followed Wen Qianyi to where the incident happened.

.....

In the northwest city area, at a wide crossroad, a dozen disciples wearing the uniforms of the Beiming Holy Land were followed by a large group of people, a massive black mass. Looking at the clothes on these people, the logos on their chests were different. Some were from first-rate forces, while others were guerrillas.

The notorious reputation of the Beiming Holy Land makes it difficult for many forces to form an alliance with it. However, nothing is absolute. For example, the Sun and Moon Sect, which is well-known in the dangerous triangle area of ​​Jiezhou, also participated in this secret realm and formed a close alliance with the Beiming Holy Land. The group of gorgeous and charming women behind the Beiming Holy Land disciples are from the Sun and Moon Sect.

Don't underestimate those second-rate forces or scattered small forces. After gathering together, the strength of the Beiming Holy Land in the city is also very powerful.

Even the super sects that stick together are unwilling to deal with this group of lunatics. The Beiming Holy Land itself is a lunatic, and there are so many lunatics gathered here. Who would want to mess with it?

At this crossroads, a large group of people from the Beiming Holy Land were sneering at the people from the Tianli Academy across the street. Naturally, there were many onlookers around, and there must have been people from super sects among them. Otherwise, how could they be the first to learn about the latest developments in the city?

Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing were in the crowd, watching what was happening on the field. They had arrived nearby early and happened to witness such a big show.

The students of Tianli Academy were originally setting up stalls to do business. The reason they set up stalls in this city was because they were deliberately excluded by people from several major forces in the city. The area in the city that was specially used for bartering, and they were not allowed to enter the Tianli Academy.

If he wanted to use the idle resources at hand to exchange for the cultivation resources he needed, he had no choice but to set up a stall in this city and wait for the right person.

The Bei Ming Holy Land came over to cause trouble, using the so-called rules to keep putting pressure on them. Tianli Academy was a group of young students, so they were naturally angry and wanted to fight back. They did injure a disciple of the Bei Ming Holy Land on the opposite side, but they were soon besieged by the others. The student who set up the stall in anger was almost beaten to death.

It was thanks to people from the nearby Tianli Academy and Songling Academy who rushed over to help that the student covered in blood was rescued.

When Lin Ran saw this scene, he wanted to come out to help, but was suddenly stopped by Shangguan Mengqing. Shangguan Mengqing stared at Lin Ran with cold eyes and said in a voice transmission: "What can you do if you rush over now? You will also put us in a dilemma. How can we move freely afterwards?"

"But I promised to take care of Tianli Academy..." Lin Ran scratched his head, trying to justify his behavior.

But this was quickly refuted by Shangguan Mengqing: "You have already taken care of them, right? I asked you to take care of them, but do you still want to be their parents and take care of them wholeheartedly?"

Lin Ran sighed. There was indeed nothing wrong with what Shangguan Mengqing said. Going out now would only save the student and get back the face for the student, but it would affect what would happen later. He secretly made a decision in his heart to help Mengqing get the inheritance of Emperor Jingyue and let her strength recover.

If it is exposed here, the difficulty of completing all this later will increase sharply.

Just as Lin Ran was lost in thought, the crowd at Tianli Academy suddenly became noisy. Yue Lei from Songling Academy and Lin Chong, the current representative of Tianli Academy, all came out.

Lin Ran looked at Lin Chong, who was standing at the front of the team with an upright posture. After experiencing the trials in the secret realm, Lin Chong's thin face now looked a little more stern, and he had an ambiguous aura. He was like a sharp sword hidden in a scabbard. Once it was unsheathed, the sword's tip would be very powerful.

At this moment, Lin Ran couldn't help but glance at Shangguan Mengqing, wanting to know how Shangguan Mengqing viewed his son and whether the world line had been corrected because of this. For some reason, he felt a little panicked, even though he didn't know where this panic came from.

"what happened?"

Shangguan Mengqing saw Lin Ran looking at him and asked subconsciously.

"nothing…"

Lin Ran scratched his head. It’s impossible that I’m afraid that you two will fall in love with each other, and then the world line will be corrected to bring you together.

Shangguan Mengqing knew Lin Ran. She glanced at Lin Chong, who was playing against the Beiming Holy Land team, and suddenly said, "Your son is a good boy. He has not been infected by his father's bad habits."

"Just praise my son, why do you have to bring me in? You won't be happy if I don't insult me, right?"

"Yes!" Shangguan Mengqing nodded.

Lin Ran: "..."

What an unlovable woman.

But Shangguan Mengqing continued, "I hope to attend your son's wedding in the future. How about having your child serve me tea?"

"It's just serving tea, that's not casual... um, serving tea isn't it?"

Lin Ran was about to agree casually, but then he thought about it. Children seem to offer tea to their parents at weddings. Isn't this a ceremony at the wedding? Then, isn't it wrong to let Chong'er offer tea to Meng Qing?

When Lin Ran wanted to ask Shangguan Mengqing, who had suddenly become adorable in his eyes, a sudden battle at the crossroads interrupted Lin Ran's thoughts...

.....

Chapter 162 Reunion

Unexpectedly, the people from Beiming Holy Land would take the first step. The disciples of Beiming Holy Land commanded the people behind them and rushed towards Lin Chong with an unreliable "excuse".

It was really a bit far-fetched that several guys whose strength was only at the Spiritual Transformation Realm were going to attack Lin Chong, who was already at the three-star level of the Spiritual Pill Realm. Perhaps they just wanted to find an excuse to let the people who had been lurking in the crowd take action.

Lin Chong was naturally aware of this. At this critical moment, he could not let the Beiming Holy Land find an opportunity. He led his team to retreat directly, not giving the Beiming Holy Land any chance to continue to advance.

The Bei Ming Holy Land did not dare to continue clamoring for hunting him down. He himself knew that this "excuse" was too far-fetched and that even a dog would jump over the wall if it was pushed to the edge.

What's more, the Sword Sect Alliance is not weak either. When they fight with the Sword Sect Alliance, it will be the turn of other forces to benefit, so this farce ended just like that.

The crowd of onlookers also dispersed, and Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing followed the crowd, walking aimlessly towards a corridor, discussing what had just happened.

"Your son did a pretty good job, but he will definitely face accusations from the angry students of Tianli Academy. If he doesn't handle it well, it will be difficult to lead the team in the future," said Shangguan Mengqing.

Doing so will indeed deny the Beiming Holy Land any opportunity, but the students' anger cannot be vented, which is equivalent to planting a time bomb in the students' hearts. The team may collapse at any time because of this.

"These guys really deserve a beating. They started fighting among themselves as soon as they came here. Do they really think that monsters won't attack?" Lin Ran said helplessly.

"Wherever there are people, there is a martial arts world. Even if the monsters come, they dare to continue the internal strife. If they kill a force, they can obtain all the money, weapons, magic tools, elixirs, etc. of that force... Next, as long as we can find a way to survive and leave this secret realm, then this time the harvest will be rich.

Isn't this better than going to the secret realm to explore and search for opportunities in the face of danger?" Shangguan Mengqing said.

"That's true. What are your plans next? I'll listen to you, Zhuge Mengqing!" Lin Ran teased.

Shangguan Mengqing nudged Lin Ran lightly with her elbow, glanced at the sky, and then said, "Let's talk about it in the evening..."

"Okay, let's talk about it tonight!"

Lin Ran smiled. He wanted to see what Zhuge Mengqing wanted to do.

……

At night, the blood moon rose as usual, but this did not affect the city deep in the mountains at all. The city was still brightly lit and even quite lively.

Many people gathered together, eating and chatting. Even the soldiers guarding the city gate lit a bonfire. Looking at the dark and empty city gate, they sighed that they were extremely lonely. Then they took a sip of wine and continued to brag to their friends.

In the camp of Linghua Academy, in the room where Wen Qianyi was, there was a night-light pearl in the room, emitting a pure white light, but it only made Wen Qianyi's profile look even paler. Wen Qianyi was lying on the bed, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw the blood-stained Lin Ran rushing in front of her, shouting at her: "Why don't you come over, why don't you come over!"

"what!"

Wen Qianyi couldn't help but let out a low cry. She was so scared that she quickly sat up and looked at the empty room. Only then did she realize that she was having a nightmare again.

Wen Qianyi gasped for breath and covered her head. After a long while, she realized belatedly that she had broken out in a cold sweat.

When I wanted to get up and get a glass of water, there was a rhythmic knock on the wooden door of the room.

Wen Qianyi's nerves tensed up all of a sudden. After paying attention to her clothes, she got out of bed and shouted outside, "Who is it?"

"Qianyi, it's me, Lin Ran!"
