My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

He glanced at the girl, his gaze lingering on Lin Mo. A guess formed in his mind, and he couldn't help but cough lightly. "Xiao Shu, you wouldn't be mistaking this girl for…"

"cliff!"

Lin Shu's cold rebuke made Duan Ya wisely shut up.

Then she muttered under her breath, "When I need help, he's Brother Duan; when I don't need help, he's Uncle Duan; when he annoys me, he's Cliff Duan; when he's super annoyed with me, he's just a guy surnamed Duan. Xiao Shu, did you learn face-changing in your past life?"

Lin Shu chuckled softly, changing the subject without batting an eye, "Xiao Mo's apprenticeship ceremony is also acceptable, starting tomorrow..."

"Stop!"

Before Lin Shu could finish speaking, Duan Ya waved his hand to interrupt, "Let's not even talk about whether this kid has the aptitude or not. Even if he does, you don't need to worry about learning ancient martial arts. Let professionals handle professional matters. You're an outsider, so don't give orders."

This time, Lin Shu wasn't angry. She smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to you about everything regarding martial arts."

Duan Ya slowly rose to his feet, and in a flash, he covered several meters and appeared in front of Lin Mo.

"Holy crap, Flash!"

Such a bizarre scene startled even Lin Mo, who possessed the cheat system.

Not only him, but An Youyu behind him was also wide-eyed, her jade lips parted, and she rubbed her eyes vigorously with both hands.

What just happened?

Teleport?

Lin Shu was used to Duan Ya's behavior, but a hint of reproach appeared in her eyes as she gently reminded him, "Be more normal at home in the future, don't scare these two children."

Duan Ya remained silent, his gaze sweeping over Lin Mo from head to toe.

Lin Mo stood calmly in place, letting the cliff observe him.

"The characterization is quite good."

Such a performance prompted Duan Ya to give a shout of praise; his actions just now were actually intentional.

Normally, a child of Lin Mo's age would be terrified and incredulous upon witnessing such an unscientific scene, which would indirectly enhance his self-image and put him under immense psychological pressure when facing his scrutiny.

Not only that, during the investigation, Duan Ya also secretly released a little bit of killing intent, the purpose of which was to intimidate Lin Mo.

After all, he had already agreed to take on a disciple, and as the master, he had to leave a deep impression on his apprentice.

The plan was well-thought-out, but the results were not seen.

Although he only released about one percent of his killing intent just now, who is he?

Twenty years ago, he defeated the other four masters on the Red List with just one sword, making him the undisputed number one on the Red List!

Even a fraction of that murderous aura is enough to make a special forces soldier gasp for breath!

In contrast, Lin Mo acted as if nothing had happened...

It's outrageous!

Lin Mo rubbed his hands together. "Master, have you forgotten something?"

"what?"

"The Ceremony of Becoming an Apprentice"

Meeting the puzzled gaze from the cliff, Lin Mo was quite straightforward, "In TV dramas, when someone becomes an apprentice, the master always gives the apprentice a gift."

The cliff-cutter nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He's only just become an apprentice, and this little brat's already trying to take advantage of me?

"What a load of bullshit apprenticeship ceremony."

Seeing that Lin Mo was not playing by the rules, Duan Ya gave him a taste of his own medicine, "Can you take TV dramas seriously? What era are we living in? Still having apprenticeship ceremonies?"

"mean."

"..."

Frustrated by repeated setbacks, Duan Ya gritted his teeth and glanced at Lin Shu, "Little Shu, your son really doesn't stand on ceremony, does he?"

Lin Shu suppressed the laughter welling up inside her, "We're all family, why be so formal?"

"Don't be ridiculous!"

With a dark expression, Duan Ya circled around Lin Mo, while simultaneously patting Lin Mo's entire body with his hands.

A few seconds later, he revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

"Xiao Shu, your son's aptitude is rather average. In comparison, I would still recommend that An'er learn martial arts. If the two of them put in the same amount of effort, the difference in their achievements will be at least tenfold. So, do you want to persuade this girl to reconsider?"

"Talent is determined by God. Perhaps talent is very important in learning ancient martial arts, but I don't think talent represents everything."

After hearing Duan Ya's evaluation of him, Lin Mo's pupils shone with an unusual light. "Since the difference in gains is more than tenfold, then I just need to put in more than tenfold effort, right?"

Chapter 191 I'm So Excellent

"Ten times the effort?"

Duan Ya scoffed, "Kid, it's not that I look down on you, it's just that what you said is a bit outrageous. Do you know what it means to put in more than ten times the effort?"

"do not know."

Lin Mo answered with complete composure.

Frankly, Duan Ya was speechless. "Since you don't know, how dare you spout such nonsense? Boasting isn't illegal, but what's the point of boasting about something so useless?"

Lin Mo smiled slightly and winked mischievously, "Behind every peerless master, there must be a great master, so..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Duan Ya's face twitched. "Don't flatter me, kid. With your talent, even if I taught you everything I knew, you would never make it onto the Hidden Dragon List in your lifetime."

"Hidden Dragon List?"

Lin Mo chuckled and moved closer to the cliff face. "Master, what is the Hidden Dragon Ranking?"

Judging from the conversation between his mother and Duan Ya just now, the two have obviously known each other for many years. With this relationship, as long as he is shameless, he won't end up being snubbed.

"It's useless for you to know this now."

Duan Ya glanced at Lin Mo indifferently, then asked Lin Shu, "When will it begin?"

"After the college entrance examination."

Lin Shu explained, "There's about a month left. We can start after he finishes his college entrance exam."

"Row."

After agreeing, Duan Ya changed the subject: "Where do I live?"

Lin Shu smiled knowingly, "We're moving this afternoon."

…………

After finishing his meal, Lin Mo went back to his room to start packing.

An Youyu came to help. She stood by the bed and neatly folded the clothes one by one.

A hot summer breeze blew in from outside, ruffling a few strands of hair on either side of her face. After being carefully dressed by Lin Shu, she exuded a breathtaking beauty.

Time passed silently. After a long silence, An Youyu looked up in confusion and her eyes met Lin Mo's. Instantly, her cheeks flushed a bright red.

"Why aren't you packing your things... what are you looking at me for?"

"cough--"

Although Lin Mo was a little embarrassed, he still admitted truthfully, "Little Fish, you look even better today than usual..."

As he spoke, he himself began to feel a little embarrassed.

That's a rather blunt way of putting it!

Indeed, this was the case. Compared to usual, An Youyu's clothes and hairstyle were slightly different today. It was these details that perfectly showcased the girl's unique gentleness. In particular, she wore light red lipstick, which was a striking touch.

Her unparalleled beauty is breathtaking!

An Youyu's face flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly. "Today I went out with Auntie. She helped me get ready before I left. Oh dear, hurry up and pack your things, don't be lazy."

Lin Mo swallowed hard. "Um... you go ahead and pack up."

After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the room.

calm……

In the living room, Lin Shu was lounging lazily on the sofa, her legs crossed and shaking rhythmically. Glancing out of the corner of her eye at her son coming out of the room, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Hey? What are you doing out here?"

Lin Mo noticed his mother's current state and walked over, both amused and exasperated. "Mom, even though we're at home, please be more mindful of your appearance, okay?"

"What should I pay attention to?"

"Image".

Is there something wrong with my image?

Lin Mo pointed to her mother's feet propped up on the coffee table, "Mom, don't you think you look a lot like... a street thug?"

"If you can't speak properly, you can shut up."

"..."

Lin Shu glared at her son and reluctantly sat up straight. "Yu'er helped you pack your things, why aren't you taking this opportunity to spend time with her? What are you doing out here?"

Lin Mo clicked his tongue. "It's all your fault."

"Blame me?"

Lin Shu looked puzzled. "What do you mean? How can you blame me?"

Lin Mo shrugged. "It's fine for you to take Xiaoyuer out, but why did you dress her up so beautifully? She's already stunningly beautiful, and you're adding to her beauty. Do you think your son's charm..."

When the word "love" came up, the words abruptly stopped.

Lin Shu smiled enigmatically, "Speak up, why are you so upset? What's the matter?"

"No, it's nothing."

Lin Mo smiled without batting an eye, "Mom, don't overthink it. Xiaoyuer and I are just normal classmates."

"cut--"
