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

Xiao Xiao's question, "Can we join in too?" echoed in the living room, seemingly shattering the atmosphere that had just eased.

Lu Linglong stopped eating the potato chips she had put in her mouth.

She glared at Xiao Xiao, and after a long pause, she managed to stammer, "Are you serious?"

Canglong was still lying on the sofa, clutching his chest. Upon hearing this, he forgot to cry out in pain.

The pastry in Bai Shixue's hand stopped in mid-air, and the notes on Zhi Jinhua's tablet also paused for a moment.

Lu Linglong looked on incredulously: "Xiao Xiao, you were just pushed into the lawn by him, and now you have to pay to keep getting beaten up?"

Xiao Xiao rubbed his back, his usual carefree smile gone.

He closed the folding fan, tapped it lightly twice in his palm, and said in an unusually serious tone, "Linglong, I'm not joking."

Lu Linglong frowned: "What are you after?"

Xiao Xiao looked at Lin Mo and gave a wry smile: "I'm drawn to his strength."

He paused, then added, "That wasn't a random press. He positioned himself precisely at the turning point of my Qi pathway. Before I could even raise my Qi, he had already turned black. If he had really used force, I wouldn't be sitting here drinking tea right now."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people in the living room all changed.

Canglong couldn't help but look at him: "Is it really that accurate?"

Xiao Xiao gave him an annoyed look: "When you flew out just now, you weren't seriously injured, were you? If he hadn't been able to control his strength, you would be in the infirmary right now, not here crying in pain."

Canglong opened his mouth, unable to refute for a moment, and could only continue to cover his chest and mutter, "I call that a tactical takeoff."

Bai Shixue laughed so hard her shoulders twitched: "Your tactics are quite expensive, 30,000 per time."

Canglong's face darkened: "Little White, will you die if you don't finish him off?"

Lu Lin, who was sitting next to her, put down her teacup and said calmly, "Xiao Xiao is right."

Everyone turned to look at him.

Lu Lin said calmly, "If it were just a regular sparring match, I wouldn't recommend you sign up. But Lin Mo's guidance was truly effective. It really hurt, but it was also genuinely helpful."

This sentence carries more weight than ten sentences from Xiao Xiao.

Zanglong's face twitched, and his expression, which had been somewhat pained, instantly turned into one of conflict.

Lu Lin personally stated that her guidance was effective.

Lu Linglong paid for special training, and her Qi breathing became noticeably smoother.

If you calculate it that way, it seems that the 30,000 yuan he just spent didn't buy him a takeoff experience, but rather an entry-level qualification?

Wang Ergou pushed up his glasses, his eyes shining with a frightening intensity: "I want to join too."

Lin Mo paused slightly as he held the teacup.

Wang Ergou leaned forward, his eyes fixed on Lin Mo: "That layer of platinum-gold protective qi you had just used was too special. It was powerful, stable, gentle, and its layers were ridiculously clean."

As he spoke, his tone became noticeably excited: "I don't necessarily have to win. As long as I can observe the changes in your Qi flow up close in actual combat, the money is worth it."

Lin Mo felt a chill run down his spine.

He knew that look all too well.

The way Wang Ergou looked at Zhang Chulan in the original novel was pretty much the same.

Lin Mo silently put down his teacup, took a half-inch back, and said seriously, "Boss Wang, let's get this straight: sparring is fine, but research is not."

Wang Ergou frowned: "I study Qi."

Lin Mo raised his hand to interrupt: "Our shop only provides formal practical training, not human body art viewing services."

The living room fell silent for a moment.

Bai Shixue was the first to burst out laughing, almost dropping her snacks: "Hahaha! Er Gou, you're being treated like a pervert!"

Wang Ergou's face darkened, and he said seriously, "I'm talking about Qi! Nothing else!"

Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged: "You'd better be."

Lu Linglong couldn't help but laugh, but quickly straightened her face again.

She watched as Xiao Xiao, Canglong, and Wang Ergou all stared at Lin Mo, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

This is clearly her bodyguard.

She also hired a sparring partner for 100,000 yuan a month.

Why is it that in the blink of an eye, everyone wants a piece of the pie?

Zanglong sat up straighter now. Although his chest still hurt, his expression was much more serious than before.

He looked at Lu Linglong and said seriously, "Linglong, count me in."

Lu Linglong was taken aback: "You're here too?"

Zanglong nodded: "It was embarrassing just now, but Xiao Xiao is right. We're all young people, and seeing someone so strong, who wouldn't want to try and catch up?"

He scratched his head as he spoke, lowering his voice, "You're getting special training from him every day, so you're bound to improve quickly. We can't just keep cheering you on from behind, can we?"

Xiao Xiao nodded: "The world of supernatural beings has been quite turbulent lately, so every bit of strength we can gain is a bonus."

Wang Ergou added, "I did it mainly for art... no, for skill."

Lu Linglong glared at him: "You'd better really be after strength."

Bai Shixue sat beside him, her eyes sparkling as she watched the show: "This business is impressive, turning in three long-term clients in half a minute. Lin Mo, your conversion rate is even more frightening than mine."

Zhi Jinhua tapped a few times on the tablet, then said earnestly, "Based on the data, his sparring has three characteristics: high intensity, high feedback, and high safety boundaries. If we can record it over a long period, I can create a growth curve."

Upon hearing the words "long-term," "record," and "client," Lin Mo's eyes softened considerably.

He looked at Canglong, Xiaoxiao, and Wang Ergou, his mind already racing with calculations.

Lu Linglong's monthly subscription is 100,000.

Lu Lin's subsequent maintenance costs will start at 100,000.

If Canglong, Xiaoxiao, and Wang Ergou each pay 200,000 per month, then paying half of that in advance would be a 300,000 deposit.

In addition, there's Xu Xiang's nighttime side jobs...

A spacious apartment with river views in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen is no longer a dream.

Just as Lin Mo was about to take out his notebook, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Lu Linglong's tense face.

She clutched the bag of potato chips, her fingers tightening their grip, her eyes fixed on him with a deep, unsettling gaze.

The expression didn't need translation; its meaning was obvious.

You dare to accept it?

Lin Mo paused for a moment.

Of course, we should make money.

But the client's experience cannot be ruined either.

He coughed lightly, placed the notebook on the table, and resumed his serious work report tone: "I completely understand that the bosses want to advance. It's a good thing that young people are ambitious."

Canglong's eyes lit up: "So, we can sign up?"

Lin Mo didn't rush to show his payment code, but instead turned to look at Lu Linglong.

Lu Linglong was taken aback by his gaze: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Mo's expression was serious: "Because my current job is Miss Lu's personal bodyguard. During working hours, I receive a base salary from the Lu family. It is clearly stated in the contract that I must prioritize Miss Lu's personal safety and the employer's experience."

He tapped the notebook lightly with his pen, a smile playing on his lips: "Your sparring services are part-time outsourcing for me. Without the employer's consent, I can't let earning extra money interfere with my main job."

At this point, he looked at Lu Linglong and softened his voice a little: "In everything, the employer takes priority. This is basic professional ethics."

The living room fell silent.

Lu Linglong, who was so angry she almost crushed the bag of potato chips, was stunned.

She lowered her eyes, and her ears slowly turned red.

So he still remembered.

No matter how much money others offered, he never forgot that he was first and foremost her bodyguard.

This feeling of being put first made Lu Linglong's heart inexplicably lighten.

Bai Shixue leaned close to Zhi Jinhua and whispered, "She's been appeased."

Zhi Jinhua pushed up her glasses: "And he probably doesn't even realize it, which makes it even more endearing."

Lu Linglong blushed and immediately glared at him: "Hua'er! I can hear you!"

Canglong, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Ergou all looked at Lu Linglong.

Canglong clasped his hands together and smiled like Maitreya Buddha: "Linglong, give me a chance."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "I won't cut in line or steal your training time."

Wang Ergou said earnestly, "I promise to control my eyes."

Lu Linglong's lips twitched: "Your guarantee sounds the least reliable."

She cleared her throat, trying to appear reluctant: "Since you are so sincerely seeking my advice, I have considered it carefully..."

Canglong immediately sat up straight.

Lu Linglong raised her chin: "Considering we're all friends, I can allow you to take up a little of the time my bodyguards would otherwise spend protecting me."

Zanglong instantly cheered, "Long live the Goddess Linglong!"

"But!" Lu Linglong immediately added, her eyes sweeping over the three of them, "My training takes priority, you're not allowed to cut in line. Also, you're not allowed to interfere with his regular get off work hours."

Lin Mo nodded beside him: "This is very important."

Lu Linglong then pointed at Wang Ergou: "Especially you, you're not allowed to stare at him with those weird looks."

Wang Ergou sighed: "Okay, I promise."

Lin Mo then flashed a professional smile and pulled out his payment code again: "Since the employer has given his permission, the cooperation will continue. The Lu Family Team's exclusive growth package is 200,000 per person per month. A 50% deposit is required, and the balance will be settled within seven days."

Canglong's face stiffened: "Two hundred thousand?!"

Lin Mo said gently, "It includes practical training, weakness feedback, basic physical therapy, and post-class review. In-depth treatment, breakthrough therapy, and post-injury recovery are separate."

Canglong clutched his chest, his face contorted with pain: "Why do I feel like you're adding money to every single word you write?"

Lin Mo's smile remained unchanged: "Because every word corresponds to a service cost."

Xiao Xiao was much more decisive, taking out his phone directly: "I'll pay first."

"Ding, 100000 yuan has been deposited into your Alipay account."

Zanglong gritted his teeth and scanned the code to pay, his fingers moving with a touch of tragic determination as he entered the password.

"Ding, 100000 yuan has been deposited into your Alipay account."

Wang Ergou acted the fastest, as if afraid that Lin Mo would change his mind, and quickly transferred the deposit.

"Ding, 100000 yuan has been deposited into your Alipay account."

The three consecutive notification sounds of the funds arriving in the account made Lin Mo's smile become much more genuine.

Zhi Jinhua lowered her head to record: "Three new customers today, with a deposit of 300,000 yuan."

Bai Shixue clicked her tongue in admiration: "Lin Mo, I'm a little envious of how much money you make."

Lin Mo looked at his phone balance and was in a good mood.

But he quickly frowned again.

wrong.

Teaching them one by one in turn is too inefficient.

Lu Linglong needs to withstand high pressure, Canglong needs to improve his reaction and defense, Xiao Xiao needs to solve the problem of being restrained by close-range attacks, Wang Ergou needs to enhance his close-combat survival skills, and Lu Lin needs to consolidate her Reverse Life Double Layer.

If the five people are scheduled to attend classes separately, an entire afternoon will be gone.

How could he possibly have the energy to take on Xu Xiang's high-risk outsourcing job that night?

This does not maximizing benefits.

Lin Mo raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the group of people before finally settling on Lu Lin, who was quietly drinking tea beside him.

Lu Lin's hand holding the teacup stiffened slightly.

He looked up at Lin Mo, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Lin Mo said with a gentle smile, "Brother Lin, you don't need to drink tea either."

Lu Lin was taken aback: "Me?"

Lin Mo opened the notebook: "You're a long-time customer, so it's easier for you to renew your subscription and switch to another service."

Lu Lin paused for a moment: "I don't think I've said I wanted to sign up yet."

Lin Mo said seriously, "But your regeneration needs practical training to solidify it. Maintaining it alone is inefficient; it's better to integrate it into team training."

Lu Lin's lips twitched slightly: "So you've decided this for me?"

Lin Mo said sincerely, "I'm optimizing your wallet and time."

Lu Linglong almost burst out laughing: "Brother, just admit it, when he set his sights on you, he basically never intended to let you go."

Lu Lin sighed: "Now I understand how you feel when you're being sold to."

Lin Mo ignored their complaints and directly listed the arrangements in his notebook: "Brother Lin will be in charge of high-level combat pressure, Miss Lu will practice pressure resistance and power generation, Boss Zang will practice reaction and defense, Boss Xiao will practice dealing with being approached, and Boss Wang will practice self-preservation and, incidentally, keep an eye on his eyes."

Wang Ergou whispered in defense, "My eyesight is perfectly normal."

Lu Linglong, Bai Shixue, and Zhi Jinhua all looked at him at the same time.

Wang Ergou was silent for two seconds: "Okay, I'll try to be normal."

Lin Mo closed the notebook, placed his hands on the table, and spoke calmly, leaving everyone stunned.

"Therefore, I'll give you a more efficient solution."

Canglong swallowed hard: "What plan?"

Lin Mo smiled slightly: "The Lu family's all-star group purchase ultimate version."

The living room fell silent instantly.

Lin Mo continued, "Starting tomorrow, the five of you will work together. I will also instruct everyone. To thank Miss Lu for her understanding, the group purchase price will be 10% off."

He glanced at everyone and added very seriously, "Don't worry, the beatings will be evenly distributed, precise to each person, and excellent value for money."

The room fell silent immediately after he said that.

Lu Linglong blinked.

Hidden Dragon's mouth was open.

Xiao Xiao's folding fan fell directly onto his lap.

Wang Ergou's gaze behind his glasses froze.

Lu Lin held the teacup but didn't drink it for a long time.

Five people attacking together?

Lu Lin, Lu Linglong, Canglong, Xiao Xiao, Wang Ergou.

This lineup is quite impressive for the younger generation.

As it turned out, Lin Mo wasn't worried about being surrounded and attacked, but was seriously thinking about how to improve his order-taking efficiency by taking on five opponents at once.

Bai Shixue was the first to recover, gasping in shock, and couldn't help but complain, "Lin Mo, other people's sparring is one-on-one, you're practically raiding a dungeon!"

Lin Mo glanced at his watch and calmly nodded: "More or less."

He carefully put the notebook away, his tone casual: "Meet in the backyard at 10:00 AM tomorrow. No make-up class for latecomers, after-sales service for injuries, and no malicious refunds."

Canglong's face turned pale: "Can I apply to sit in on the hearing now?"

Lin Mo smiled gently: "Okay."

Zanglong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Mo added: "Attending the hearing won't get you beaten up, the effect is halved, and the price remains the same."

Hidden Dragon: "..."

Lu Linglong finally couldn't hold back and laughed so hard her shoulders trembled slightly.

Looking at Lin Mo's serious expression as he arranged the classes, Lu Lin had only one thought in her mind.

The bodyguard we hired is no ordinary monster.
