My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Lin Mo gave an awkward smile and glared at An Youyu, "What did you just say? Did you think I was treating you like you were invisible? Can air talk?"

An Youyu blinked, confused. "I was answering your sister's question for you, so why are you being rude?"

"I……"

Lin Mo closed her eyes wearily. "Little ancestor, can you please say less? I have my pride too."

Lin Xue chuckled to herself and spoke up for Lin Mo: "Yu'er, you really shouldn't have told me this. Boys care a lot about their reputation, especially since Xiao Mo used such underhanded methods back then."

"Is it not presentable?"

An Youyu scratched her hair. "But I don't feel anything."

Lin Xue looked curious. "Xiao Mo even cornered you against the wall. You two weren't even that close back then. Didn't you feel anything? Normally, he should have been blacklisted by you because of that."

"No."

An Youyu shook her head. "At that time, I just felt that he was very strange. In addition, I was very flustered because no boy had ever been so close to me before, and no boy had ever done that kind of thing to me. My mind went blank and I didn't have any other thoughts."

Hearing the girl's explanation, Lin Xue sighed and patted Lin Mo's shoulder hard twice, her tone full of meaning.

"Xiao Mo, I see now. Luckily you acted early! Otherwise, Yu'er would definitely have been tricked by other boys."

"Hey...the first strike wins, right?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow triumphantly, then changed his tone, "But even if I hadn't acted sooner, Xiaoyuer wouldn't have been easily fooled by other boys. Sis, you underestimate her. The reason she was so easily fooled by me... ptooey!"

Upon seeing the smile in Lin Xue's eyes, he immediately changed his tune: "The reason I was able to win Xiaoyuer's heart so easily is because we've known each other since we were kids. She probably recognized me back then, but she just wasn't sure."

Lin Xue had heard Lin Shu talk about this before, and nodded in understanding. "Alright, let's stop talking about you guys and talk about me. Anyway, I think the method that Yu'er just demonstrated is not suitable for me. It's too embarrassing."

"Besides, you're a boy and I'm a girl. I can't possibly pin Lin Geng against the wall, can I? If I did that, Lin Geng might think I'm a promiscuous person."

Lin Mo was somewhat dissatisfied, "Sis, if it's not suitable for you, then you don't have to do it. Why do you have to say it's too embarrassing? What's embarrassing about it?"

Seeing that Lin Mo was still unconvinced, Lin Xue kept pouting, "You know exactly where it's embarrassing."

Lin Mo smirked. "Sis, if that's your attitude, then I have nothing to say. To borrow a phrase you once told me, how can you ask someone for a favor with this kind of attitude?"

Lin Xue: "..."

This brat actually dared to challenge her?

hateful!

But the next second, she realized that she was the one asking the boy a question. She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and changed her usual attitude, her face full of smiles.

"It's not shameful. I misspoke earlier. In fact, judging from the results, your method was very successful. It was decisive and efficient, without any unnecessary delays. To be honest, I admire you a lot."

Lin Mo glanced at it, speechless, and said, "Can't you be a little more sincere?"

"Xiao Mo, don't go too far, okay? Where was my attitude insincere? My tone was clearly very sincere!"

"I didn't say your tone was insincere."

As he spoke, Lin Mo glanced at Lin Xue's hand, which was pressed against her chest. "But you can say whatever you want, why are you covering your chest like that?"

Lin Xue's mouth was half open, her face showing a hint of hesitation. After a long while, she finally managed to utter five words, "...I'm afraid of having a guilty conscience."

"..."

Lin Mo sighed helplessly, "Watch your attitude. You're the one asking me for advice now."

Lin Xue's expression changed, and she nodded with a smile. She came behind Lin Mo and began massaging his shoulders. "Brother Mo, how's the pressure?"

Lin Mo smiled and nodded, "Not bad."

"And what about attitude?"

"It's okay."

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Xue secretly gritted her teeth.

That brat...

She even called him "Brother Mo," but to him, he was just "so-so"?

An Youyu, standing to the side, looked somewhat helpless.

The family hierarchy in this family is really messed up, but what can she do when she found such a partner? She chose him herself, so she has to grit her teeth and accept it no matter what.

"Brother, in your opinion, how should Lin Geng and I start?"

Chapter 867 Northern Region

"Brother, in your opinion, how should Lin Geng and I start?"

Hearing "brother" again, even Lin Mo couldn't hold back, and he smiled bitterly: "Sister Xue, just call me that once as a token gesture, don't call me that anymore, I'm afraid it will shorten my lifespan."

Lin Xue smiled and shook her head. "Brother, that won't do. You were the one who said my attitude wasn't sincere. I was just trying to prove my point."

Lin Mo's expression turned bitter. "Stop yelling. If my mom finds out, she'll beat me to death."

"Also, sis, I only asked you to be sincere, not to call me brother."

Lin Xue glared at him, "A real man shouldn't be bothered by trifles. I don't care, so why should you?"

Lin Mo's mouth twitched, and he muttered to himself, "Of course you don't care. Grandma will only say a few words to you at most, but my mom really beats you!"

"Deserve it!"

"..."

Just then, An Youyu chimed in, "Serves him right."

Lin Mo squinted, "Little Fish, does your bottom need a spanking?"

An Youyu hurriedly looked to the side and murmured, "I didn't say anything, and you didn't hear anything."

Seeing this attitude, Lin Xue couldn't help but chuckle to herself. "You just know how to bully Yu'er. Alright, stop rambling. I've already called you 'brother' and shown my attitude. Now tell me your plan."

Lin Mo cleared his throat. "Sis, love isn't as complicated as you think. Don't treat it like a monster. Love is actually a wonderful thing. Otherwise, countless people wouldn't be rushing into it."

"The beginning of a successful relationship can be varied; there is no fixed template, and the answers are diverse."

"Given your situation with Lin Geng, I think you can try getting along as friends first. For example, go out for a meal or a movie together. By the way, sister, you need to be careful. The moment you decide to give it a try with Lin Geng, you can no longer speak to him as the second young lady of the Lin family."

"Otherwise, if you always act superior, even a man would be deterred. This is especially important; the rest is up to you to figure out."

Listening to Lin Mo's reasoned analysis, Lin Xue nodded secretly, "That makes sense..."

After saying that, she realized she was praising Lin Mo, and quickly added, "But not much."

Lin Mo: "..."

Would it kill you to praise him?

Noticing Lin Mo rolling his eyes, Lin Xue slapped him on the back of the head. "Anything else?"

Lin Mo covered his head and looked pitifully at An Youyu, "Little Yu'er, someone hit your boyfriend, are you sure you don't want to do anything about it?"

An Youyu hesitated for a moment, then said weakly, "Sister Xue, you can say whatever you want, but you can't do anything."

Lin Xue sighed and glared at Lin Mo, annoyed. "You always use the fish as a shield. Hurry up and tell me, what else do you need to be careful about?"

"Apart from their identities, there's nothing else to note."

Lin Mo put away his joking attitude, thought about it seriously for a moment, and said, "I can do the job of assisting. I'll go to Lin Geng tomorrow morning and sound him out first. As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.'"

"Wait for my message, then we can make plans, okay?"

Lin Xue nodded, "Okay."

Before leaving, she added with concern, "Until this matter is settled, neither you nor Yu'er are allowed to tell anyone, especially not your grandparents, understand?"

Lin Mo smiled and asked in return, "What about my mom?"

"Your mother?"

Lin Xue looked helpless. "I can't hide it from her. Alright, I'm going back to my room now."

"Take care, sister."

Lin Xue had barely stepped out of the restaurant when An Youyu sat down next to Lin Mo, staring at him with great interest. "You just recently brought Sister Qiqi and Uncle Xu together, and now you're trying to bring Sister Xue together too. When did you become a matchmaker?"

Hearing this question, Lin Mo shrugged, "To be honest, I don't know when I became a matchmaker. We're all on the same side, so I'll help if I can."

An Youyu nodded slightly. "It's good. Although I don't know much about this Lin Geng, I trust your judgment. If you think it's good, then it's definitely good."

"Yo?"

Lin Mo's face was full of smiles as he joked, "My little fish trusts me so much now?"

An Youyu nodded again, "Not now, but always. I've trusted you ever since I first met you, except... in certain aspects."

As she spoke, she lowered her face, blushing.

The touching sentiment stirred Lin Mo's heart, but in an instant, his thoughts returned to clarity, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

His composure was already extremely strong.

Even so, I am still often amazed by the beauty of this little thing.

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Mo escorted An Youyu back to her room, then went downstairs alone. After leaving the main building, he followed the information he had learned from He Qiqi and arrived at the northern area of ​​the manor.

The entire Lin family manor is very large, divided into five areas: east, south, west, north, and center.

The North District is the largest!

It occupies almost half of the entire manor, and the northern area has a special entrance and exit, which is the place where Lin family martial artists live and cultivate in seclusion.

Lin Mo had previously learned some information from Lin Xue. The number of martial artists in the Lin family's northern region was no less than two hundred. Every Lin family martial artist living in the northern region received a monthly stipend, which consisted of rare spiritual items that could help with their cultivation.

Furthermore, you can also enter the Secret Pavilion in the Northern Region for free to study here. The Secret Pavilion contains many techniques and moves, as well as some cultivation experience. Whether you are a martial artist cultivating your physique or your spiritual energy, you can gain something from the Secret Pavilion.

Of course, there are thresholds for such treatment.

According to Lin Xue, the Lin family has an organization called Martial Detective Hall, which is a professional team of nearly a hundred people.

"Martial arts scout" is similar to the concept of a talent scout.

Their duty is to find potential martial artists in the ancient martial arts world and invite them to join the Lin family.

Each year, about one hundred potential martial artists join the Lin family. These martial artists can only obtain a sum of resources upon joining the Lin family. The only way to continue to obtain resources is to obtain the qualification to reside in the Northern Region.

There are two strict criteria for these martial artists to settle in the Northern Region.
