One person: Lu family bodyguard, who shattered Longhu Mountain with a single palm strike.

Chapter 31 Lu Linglong is furious! Grandpa, what are you doing in the middle of the night?

Inside the guest room, the humming sound of the computer case fan could be clearly heard.

Lin Mo stared at the three brightly lit voice avatars in the lower right corner of the computer screen, and then listened to the three women gasping for breath coming from his headphones. He almost crushed the mineral water bottle he had just picked up.

Lu Lin, sitting on the two-meter-wide bed, was completely petrified.

He's a typical abstinent handsome guy; he's even uncomfortable talking to girls for more than a few minutes.

At that moment, he was still holding the open collar of his pajamas, with the buttons only half undone, when he was caught by his cousin and two other girls "getting into bed and taking off his clothes" in another man's room in the middle of the night.

Lu Lin's usually cool and handsome face was now flushed red and pale, his slender fingers frozen in mid-air, unsure whether to put it on or take it off.

"Lin Mo...this..." Lu Lin's voice was starting to go dry, "Are they...listening?"

Lin Mo took a deep breath and nodded decisively: "To be precise, I should say I've been listening since you knocked on the door."

Lu Lin's lips twitched, her expression stiffening: "You didn't have to finish that job."

Lin Mo decisively picked up the earphones and brought them to his lips, his tone as calm as if he were giving a quarterly financial report: "Ms. Lu, Ms. Bai, Ms. Zhi. I hereby solemnly declare that this bodyguard is heterosexual. I am currently just conducting a post-operative maintenance check for Young Master Lu after his triple breakthrough in reverse life, a proper treatment. Please do not overinterpret this. Every word I say is very precise; it is your thinking that is unhealthy."

The voice channel was silent for a second.

Immediately afterward, Bai Shixue's voice, though barely suppressed, still rang out with a perfunctory excitement: "Mmm, mmm, we understand! We all understand! It's just healing! After-sales maintenance! Lin Mo, keep your hand steady, be gentle, don't hurt Young Master Lu!"

The subtle sound of Zhi Jinhua adjusting her glasses also drifted over, even carrying a hint of academic discussion:

"Ahem... From the perspective of stabilizing Qi, the slight feeling of lightness in the chest does indeed need to be observed; it makes theoretical sense. Um, should we step aside? Or can we continue to listen in on the subsequent procedures?"

"You two shut up!"

Lu Linglong completely lost her temper into the microphone, her voice blaring, "Don't you dare think nonsense! You two hopeless yaoi fans! Who wants to listen to your ravings! And Lin Mo, can you please stop talking so strangely?!"

The three of them were arguing fiercely in the channel, and the scene and sound were enough to make anyone's scalp crawl.

The main theme is two handsome guys, in the middle of the night, in bed, taking off their clothes to heal their wounds... the elements are just too abundant.

Lu Lin finally couldn't help but speak, her voice still a little weak: "Linglong, I'm still here."

The voice channel fell silent again.

Lin Mo moved the mouse expressionlessly and casually unplugged his headphone cord: "To avoid further misunderstandings, this voice call ends here."

Snapped.

The voice call ended, and the room returned to silence.

Lin Mo turned around, walked calmly to the bedside, pulled up a chair and sat down: "Alright, the unexpected situation has been ruled out."

Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly and clumsily rebuttoned her pajamas, sitting up even more upright than she would in class.

"Um... Lin Mo, how about... I come again tomorrow?"

With her back to him, Lu Lin hesitated and said, "What you just said... how about the follow-up appointment fee? Should I just transfer the money to your Alipay account? It's fine if you accept the money."

Upon hearing the mention of money, Lu Lin completely relaxed.

Anything that can be explained with money seems perfectly normal to Lin Mo.

"No, you're already here. Your Qi is unstable right now, and if we delay until tomorrow, it's easy for problems to arise, which will also affect my after-sales reputation."

Lin Mo's expression softened considerably, and he waved his hand, "Young Master Lu, I admire your attitude towards communicating with such high-quality clients. However, tonight's service is on me, no charge."

Lu Lin was stunned, then turned her head abruptly, looking at him with a face full of astonishment: "No money? Are you sure?"

"The first day of the challenge is a high-risk period, and Qi disturbances are a complication. Consider this after-sales service for 100,000 challenge orders: if there are any problems, it's my responsibility, and I'll provide free stabilization." Lin Mo pushed up his non-existent glasses, displaying impeccable professionalism. He paused, glancing at his watch, "But this only applies tonight. After midnight, contacting me will be charged at the normal rate."

Lu Lin chuckled to herself.

This reason is indeed very Lin Mo's.

The next second, a system notification suddenly sounded in Lin Mo's mind.

[The system detected that the host is providing services outside of working hours.]

[Service source: Paid special customs clearance order.]

[Judgment: After-sales maintenance does not constitute unpaid overtime.]

[Friendly reminder: Free after-sales service does not generate any additional revenue.]

Lin Mo's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"Just don't deduct the reward, and keep quiet," Lin Mo muttered to himself.

"What did you say?" Lu Lin looked up in confusion.

"It's alright. Sit cross-legged and turn your back to me." Lin Mo's tone became a little serious. "Don't be nervous. I'll release the energy from your back, not your chest. When I tell you to gather your energy, gather it; when I tell you to press it down, press it down. Don't ask any questions during the process. If you get distracted and your energy becomes disordered, I'll have to deal with it a second time."

"Don't worry." Lu Lin sat cross-legged again and closed her eyes.

Actually, he was very curious.

During the day at the training ground, Lin Mo used extremely violent physical methods to help him break through the barrier.

However, the chaotic and volatile white qi in my body should, in theory, be treated by a top-notch doctor from a renowned medical institution like Jishetang, using top-notch acupuncture and gentle nourishment techniques.

How can someone like Lin Mo, who takes a purely aggressive approach, heal his wounds?

Just as he thought of this, a wave of heat suddenly pressed against his back!

It wasn't palm force, but an extremely profound and tangible true qi!

Lin Mo placed one palm on Lu Lin's back, and his fully-leveled Nine Yang Divine Skill began to circulate without reservation.

The pure internal energy accumulated over 109 years, as its foundation, was completely transformed into the extremely powerful and yang Nine Yang True Qi at this moment, surging into Lu Lin's back through several Qi pathways.

Lu Lin's body trembled violently. He had expected this force to be extremely violent, and he was even prepared to grit his teeth and take another beating.

But when the true qi rushed into his meridians, he realized how wrong he had been.

This vital energy is incredibly gentle! It is extremely abundant, yet without the slightest hint of harshness. It's like the warm sun shining directly on your skin in winter, or like a pure, unadulterated hot spring.

The heat flowed along the Qi path, and the soreness and stiffness left by the violent breakthrough during the day were almost instantly soothed.

The previously restless and chaotic white energy was immediately suppressed and obediently returned to its proper course.

What shocked Lu Lin even more was that he could clearly feel that some minor injuries he had sustained from his early years of practice were rapidly healing under the influence of this warm current!

Just how much more is Lin Mo hiding? This is no ordinary healing; it's directly using a higher level of true qi to suppress his foundation!

"What kind of kung fu is this?!" Lu Lin's heart was filled with shock and disbelief.

"Don't overthink it," Lin Mo suddenly said.

Lu Lin was taken aback: "Do you know what I'm thinking?"

"The moment your breath drifts away, I know you're not paying attention."

Lin Mo's calm voice sounded from behind, "You've just entered the second level of Reverse Life, and the worst thing you can do is be impatient and restless. First, stabilize your own Qi, concentrate your mind, and guard your oneness! Even free services have a time cost."

Lu Lin's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly composed herself: "Understood."

He closed his eyes, but his mind was completely made up.

Lin Mo is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime super genius!

Such methods are unheard of in the entire world of supernatural beings!

"Draw your chest down from the center of your chest, don't press it against your heart. Yes, just like that."

"Don't force yourself, Jianjing, relax."

"Suppress that breath at the Mingmen point, don't let it out."

"Okay, don't move."

Under Lin Mo's precise control, the transparent reverse-generation double membrane on Lu Lin's body surface, which was originally trembling at the edges, has now solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye and completely stabilized.

……

At the same time, outside the guest room door.

Wearing slippers, Lu Linglong tiptoed downstairs from her room.

She was blushing with embarrassment on the channel, annoyed by her two best friends' nonsensical teasing, and also really curious about what Lin Mo was up to by calling her cousin into his room in the middle of the night.

As soon as she turned the corner of the stairs, a guilty look swept across the room, and Lu Linglong froze on the spot.

There was actually a person standing at the door of Lin Mo's guest room.

The man had his hands behind his back, his body slightly hunched, and one ear was practically pressed against the solid wood door.

In the dim light of the corridor wall lamps, Lu Linglong gasped.

"Great-grandfather?!"

Lu Linglong's eyes widened suddenly, just as she was about to shout. Lu Jin, who was at the door, noticed the commotion and turned around instantly. His old eyes no longer held any trace of the timidity of eavesdropping; instead, they were frighteningly sharp.

Upon recognizing her granddaughter, Lu Jin quickly put a finger to her lips and said, "Shh."

Lu Linglong quickly covered her mouth and slipped over, lowering her voice to question him incredulously, "Grandpa! Why are you here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Eavesdropping on Lin Mo's conversation? If this gets out..."

A dignified Tenth Elder was eavesdropping at his own bodyguard's door in the dead of night!

"Shut up, what does a little brat like you know!"

Lu Jin's face flushed slightly, a rare occurrence for him. He glared at her, then calmly retorted, "I call this inspecting the work. I'm listening to the Qi, not the corner of the wall!"

Lu Linglong muttered under her breath, "Isn't that still eavesdropping..."

Lu Jin's eyes widened: "What did you say?"

"Nothing!" Lu Linglong quickly shook her head. "Grandpa, what did you hear?"

Lu Jin looked at the door again, his expression becoming extremely serious, his eyes revealing undisguised excitement: "This kid Lin has really given me a huge surprise! He's inside helping your brother stabilize his Reverse Life Third Level realm."

"Stabilize his realm? He can do that too?"

Lu Linglong looked on with suspicion. Lin Mo, that money-grubber, was going to provide free medical treatment in the middle of the night? And wasn't that a tactic that only medical practitioners were good at?

Lu Jin didn't explain, but pointed to the door: "You practice Quanzhen Neidan Gong, which is best for tempering life and has extremely sharp senses. Put your hand on the door frame and open your spiritual sense to feel the atmosphere inside."

Lu Linglong stretched out her right hand with some doubt and gently placed it on the solid wood door frame before closing her eyes.

next second.

Lu Linglong shuddered violently, her eyes snapping open involuntarily, her face filled with horror!

In her perception, behind that thin wooden door was not an ordinary guest room at all, but a blazing sun that was slowly burning!

That upright and masculine aura was so immense!

Vast, majestic, and supremely masculine!

Yet, it lacked any sense of explosion or destruction; instead, it was as gentle as spring rain.

It is gradually repairing and suppressing the floating white qi within Lu Lin's body.

"This...this is Lin Mo's aura?!" Lu Linglong exclaimed in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth tightly.

She instantly recalled the warm feeling she had experienced a few hours earlier in the grove when she tried to pat Lin Mo on the shoulder.

At the time, I only felt like a hot water bottle, but now, as I use all my strength to sense it, I realize that it is actually a live volcano ready to erupt!

Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction as he looked at his granddaughter's shocked expression.

"It's him." Lu Jin withdrew his ear from the door and put his hands behind his back. "It's not just about stabilizing. He's repairing the minor damage left after Lu Lin broke through the barrier."

"This kid... is unfathomable."

Lu Jin sighed deeply, "Lightness skill, palm techniques, power control, protection, healing... fierceness and gentleness, destruction and rebirth. There are more and more things about him."

Lu Linglong stared blankly at the door panel, her mind filled with Lin Mo's face, which was always openly listing prices and asking for money, and his words from that evening, "With him here, no one can hurt you."

Her heart pounded uncontrollably. That bastard, he had been hiding it so well!

The sense of security brought by that aura stirred up an indescribable ripple in her heart.

"Grandpa..." Lu Linglong touched the still-warm door panel as if possessed, "Just who is Lin Mo?"

"I don't know." Lu Jin was silent for a moment, then chuckled. "I'm not a god, how could I possibly know?"

He turned and walked towards the stairs, his voice carrying a confident arrogance: "But one thing is certain: he's greedy, disciplined, and has a steady hand. Now he's someone our Lu family hired with money, and as long as the contract is still in effect, he won't cause trouble. Just for that alone, the 30,000 yuan base salary is well worth it!"

Lu Linglong stood there stunned, unable to resist asking, "What if someone offered him even more money and tried to kidnap him?"

Lu Jin stopped, glanced at her granddaughter, and gave a very realistic answer.

"Then give him more money."
