"This is the space inside the ring I've carried with me since I was born." An Ran smiled and explained to her father calmly, "Father, I brought you here because only here can I ensure that our conversations won't be overheard by anyone else!"
An Changcheng knew from the moment An Ran was born that his daughter was carrying a magical artifact. Now hearing him say this, it was not difficult for him to understand, and he quickly calmed down, but...
"Is there something important you want to talk about here? Shouldn't you be studying in Orr College now?"
An Changcheng frowned and looked at An Ran. Could it be that his daughter found going to school boring and didn't want to go to school anymore?
This won't do. Or College is the best school in the entire empire. Only there can An Ran systematically learn a variety of knowledge. If he finds it boring there, does that mean he won't go to school in the future?
"Did you make any mistakes in school? Or did you offend someone in school? Do you not want to go to school anymore?"
An Changcheng, like all other fathers in the world, frowned and looked at An Ran seriously as he began to educate her.
"Of course, I know you're smart and talented, but...my daughter, you have to learn how to socialize in this world. You have to go to school, and getting to know more people will be very beneficial to your future!"
"If anything happens to you in the academy, or if you feel that someone is bullying you, you can tell me or your brother. Although our An family has fallen on hard times, I will never allow anyone to bully my daughter! But you must not let your temper get the better of you and just run away from the academy!"
An Ran's mouth twitched. What did her father think of her? Was she really so willful in his eyes?
She rolled her eyes speechlessly, interrupting what An Changcheng was about to say, "I just took a leave from college for a few days to come back. I came back to see you and your mother, and by the way, I have some good things to discuss with you."
An Changcheng looked at An Ran suspiciously. He knew his daughter's temper very well. It was impossible for her to change her temper overnight. And why did she suddenly come back and discuss something important with them? An Changcheng couldn't help but wonder if this daughter in front of him was someone else pretending to be her?
An Ran glared at her father with a pout. Is there such a father? Is there such a father who doesn't believe in his daughter?
Under An Ran's angry gaze, An Changcheng surrendered. He sighed softly, rubbed An Ran's head as usual, and said lovingly, "Ran Ran, do you have anything good to discuss with us?"
An Ran was shocked. She looked at An Changcheng seriously and said, "Leave the Burt Empire."
"What? What are you talking about?" An Changcheng stood up seriously. "Separate from the Burt Empire? Why do you have such an idea? Did they do something excessive to you?"
Seeing that An Changcheng's first reaction was not why they had to leave the Burt Empire, to which their family had been loyal for a long time, but what the empire's royal family had done to him, An Ran felt relieved. At least this showed that her father was not very opposed to leaving the Burt Empire. Next, it was time to convince him.
"It's not me, it's my brother." An Ran looked at her father with some sadness. "Every time my brother comes back, he only reports good news and never bad news, making us think he's living well in the academy. But that's not the case. My brother's dantian was already shattered by the combined efforts of the imperial family and the four major families. It was the academy's dean who valued his talent and tried his best to preserve his dantian, but the cracks are still there. My brother's future has been ruined by them!"
An Ran wisely did not tell his father that his brother's Dantian had been cured by him. After all... this would arouse his father's hatred towards the Burt Empire, and it would also be smoother to leave the Burt Empire!
"What?" An Changcheng stared at An Ran, "Is what you said true? Is your brother really..."
An Ran nodded with a wry smile and told her father everything that happened between her and her brother in Orr College without hiding anything. Watching An Changcheng's expression change from shock to disappointment to grief and anger, An Ran knew that his father should have made his own decision.
After listening to An Ran's story, An Changcheng sat in silence for a long time before asking, "Ran Ran, what do you mean by leaving the Burt Empire? Do you have any ideas?"
An Ran's lips curled up slightly. She looked at her father and said, "Father, I successfully entered the Commander-level Magician some time ago. I think that with me as the backing and protection of the An family, we can spend a lot of money to recruit soldiers and hire those mercenaries to protect our An family. Later, I have so many spiritual fruits in my space, plus the elixirs I refine. At the very least, we can control the economic lifeline of the Burt Empire and make many large families willingly protect our An family!"
Listening to An Ran's idea, An Changcheng was stunned. He knew what kind of education his daughter had received since childhood, but he didn't expect that An Ran, who was only eleven or twelve years old, could come up with such a meticulous plan. Even he had to admit that this plan was very good! If we exclude the fact that their An family is currently sparsely populated.
"Of course, your idea is good, but you've overlooked a few issues. First, although you're a commander-level expert, you should know that there are always people better than you. In this world, the ace masters hidden by the big families are basically all ninth-level, commander-level masters, and there are more than one or two of them!"
An Changcheng gave a bitter smile and continued, "Secondly, there are simply too few of us in the An family to support such a large business empire. There are simply too few people we can trust!"
"Third, relying on elixirs and spiritual fruits to make a fortune is indeed a very good idea, but..." An Changcheng looked around, "There are not many spiritual fruits growing in your space, and refining elixirs...it will be very hard for you!"
"Father, spiritual fruits and elixirs are both very helpful for cultivation. I never intended for them to be as common as daily necessities. They can only be scarce items, items that everyone will scramble for every time they appear. They are special products that belong only to our An family!"
