My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Otherwise, it would incite hostility towards the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion from all families and forces.

No matter how powerful and mysterious the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is, it is unwilling to offend all the ancient martial arts forces within the Xia Kingdom.

The number of level 10 experts announced by Tianji Pavilion refers to independent cultivators who do not belong to any particular faction.

Furthermore, the 135 individuals did not include any Level 10 martial artists who were over 100 years old.

As mentioned earlier, the lifespan of a level 10 martial artist is about two hundred years. This means that the number should at least double. In addition, there are some level 10 martial artists with long lifespans. The number of level 10 martial artists who have not joined a faction should be around three hundred.

The total number of level 10 martial artists from all the major families and forces within Xia Kingdom far exceeds three hundred.

Especially the three super-grade families. It is rumored that the three super-grade families have at least three digits of level 10 experts combined.

Since that's the rumor, the actual number is naturally much higher than that.

Among so many martial artists, there are naturally many level 10 martial artists whose lifespans are nearing their end. If given the chance to fight, no one would refuse.

Even if the odds are slim!

If one were to break through to the half-step transcendent realm, or even go further to reach the true transcendent realm, their lifespan would increase significantly once again.

When the ancestor of the Lin family broke through to the half-step extraordinary realm, he was already over two hundred years old. Even so, he lived for nearly one hundred and twenty years after breaking through to the half-step extraordinary realm.

Since ancient times, no one has escaped death, but who has ever wanted to die?

Ordinary people don't want to die, let alone martial artists who possess great power.

If they could survive, they would rather risk several years, or even ten or twenty years, of their lives.

Once successful, it's like being reborn!

At this moment, Lin Xue also revealed her purpose, "Sister Shu, since you still have a transcendent fruit, the transcendent plan can add two more slots, which will double the success rate of the transcendent plan."

Lin Shu smiled awkwardly, "Xiao Xue, to be honest, I don't have any extraordinary fruits."

"what?"

Lin Xue looked surprised, "That shouldn't be the case, you have..."

Lin Shu interrupted, "The remaining extraordinary fruit was given to Xing."

"The number one star on the blacklist?"

"Correct."

After receiving Lin Shu's affirmative reply, Lin Xue opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

After a long pause, she finally managed to utter a sentence, "Sister Shu, you truly live up to your nickname of a spendthrift!"

Lin Yi nodded in deep agreement, "Indeed... extravagant!"

Hearing even her father complaining about her spending money, Lin Shu couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Dad, even you're saying that about me? How have I been spending money?"

"I gave you three extraordinary fruits, but you didn't even keep one. Isn't that being wasteful?"

Lin Yi scolded him irritably, "You should know how precious extraordinary fruits are. If possible, such spiritual objects should be given to the family's martial artists. Don't you understand the principle of keeping the good stuff within the family?"

"Yes."

Lin Xue quietly echoed.

The two men's back-and-forth banter made Lin Shu sneer. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. To tell you the truth, Brother Duan, Xiaobai, and Xing are martial artists I trained. To me, they are more important than the martial artists of the Lin family."

"These extraordinary fruits are such wonderful things, of course we should give them to use!"

"you……"

Seeing his daughter speak so confidently, Lin Yi felt extremely helpless. After a few seconds of silence, he earnestly advised her, "Xiao Shu, there's a problem with what you're saying. You're a member of the Lin family, so naturally you should consider the Lin family's interests. Duan Ya, Bai Wuhen, and Xing... in the end, they're outsiders."

"outsider?"

Lin Shu was very dissatisfied with his father's statement and immediately retorted, "Who said they were outsiders?"

"Is not it?"

Faced with her father's question, Lin Shu answered without hesitation, "Of course not, they are all my people, how can they be outsiders?"

The scene of the father and daughter confronting each other made Xu Yanshu secretly chuckle.

Lin Xue noticed her mother's smirking and was taken aback. "Mom, what are you laughing at?"

Hearing this, the father and daughter who were confronting each other also looked in Xu Yanshu's direction.

Seeing that the three of them were looking at her, Xu Yanshu sighed, "Xiao Shu, even though you've been away from home for twenty years, you haven't changed much from twenty years ago. Back then, you were just as protective of your own."

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Mom, this isn't called protecting my own; it's called treating people with sincerity."

After saying that, she pondered for a moment and said, "Not everyone can be bound by interests; only sincerity is applicable to everyone."

Even Lin Yi, the patriarch of a top-tier family, couldn't find a point to refute. He remained silent for a long time, then sighed meaningfully, "That's both right and wrong. You say it truly applies to everyone, but I don't think so."

"Some people are all you can know on the surface but not on the heart! Even if you treat them with sincerity, they might still turn around and bite you. Aren't there countless examples of this?"

Lin Shu did not refute her father's point of view, but changed the subject: "Dad, not everyone is worth my sincerity. I have to be selective, okay? Do you really think your daughter is a sucker?"

As she spoke, her gaze swept across her mother and Lin Xue's faces. "Everyone says I'm a spendthrift, but I've raised two unparalleled masters, Duan Ya and Bai Wuhen, as well as Xing, the number one on the Black List."

"From this perspective, am I wasteful?"

This question caused the three of them to fall silent.

indeed!

Judging from the results, Lin Shu not only did not squander his fortune, but could also be called an investment master.

The combined power of Duan Ya, Bai Wuhen, and Xing, the number one on the Black List, is something even a top-tier family couldn't withstand.

With the Lin family's current strength, plus these three top experts, they could easily win even if they faced the combined forces of the Leng and Shen families.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi's breathing became rapid.

Lin Shu noticed his change and said, "Dad, forget about your plan to dominate. The three of them are trying to break through using their extraordinary fruits. Maybe..."

Her expression suddenly dimmed, the worry in her eyes becoming very obvious, and her voice became somewhat low, "Perhaps they will all fail, and you know better than anyone what failure means,"

"After all, that's the realm of the extraordinary!"

Was she worried about the safety of the three of them?

Of course I'm worried!

She tried to stop it, more than once.

But the three remained steadfast and never wavered.

She did everything she could.

In the end, she could only respect the choices of the three.

The outcome is up to fate.

"What if it succeeds?"

Lin Yi's eyes gleamed. "Xiao Shu, let's not even talk about the Transcendent Realm. If one of the three of us breaks through to the Half-Step Transcendent Realm, then our Lin family can rely on having a Half-Step Transcendent expert to surpass the Leng and Shen families. It's not impossible for us to steadily develop for several years and become the only Saint-grade family in Xia Kingdom."

"Of course, first of all, this half-step extraordinary expert must stand on the same side as the Lin family. Can that be guaranteed?"

Lin Shu did not directly answer his father's question, but muttered to himself, "A family of high-ranking officials? Tsk, Dad, your ambitions are truly remarkable!"

Legend has it that above the Super Grade families, there are Saint Grade families, but of course, Saint Grade families only exist in legends.

With a history of over four hundred years since the Xia Dynasty, the Superb Family represents the pinnacle of its power.

Lin Yi's answer was also very direct: "If a person has no ambition, what's the difference between him and a salted fish?"

"Xiao Shu, you haven't answered my question yet."

"can."

After careful consideration, Lin Shu gave a confident answer, "I can guarantee it."

"it is good!"

Lin Yi looked excited.

However, this initial excitement quickly faded, and he became worried, showing none of the dignity expected of a patriarch of a superior family. Instead, he stared at his daughter with a resentful expression, like a woman.

"Xiao Shu, I'm not trying to criticize you, but how could you let three people attempt to break through to the Transcendent Realm at the same time? You should at least leave one Sword God for the Lin family!"

"At the very least, it would be good to keep Xing, the number one on the blacklist."

Xu Yanshu and Lin Xue exchanged a silent glance, their eyes both revealing smiles.

"Relax? Who said I'm relieved? I was worried to death!"

"Then you still..."

Lin Shu sighed and interrupted her father, her tone emphasizing, "Dad, those three are not objects. They have their own will. Even if they listen to me, I will not force them to do what they want."

"I tried to persuade them, but I couldn't, so I can only respect their choice."

Lin Yi looked sullen. "Sigh, what a pity. The Ancient Martial Arts Competition is going to be held at the end of the year. You should know how important the Ancient Martial Arts Competition is."

"If a top-tier martial arts expert were to represent the Lin family in the competition, then this ancient martial arts tournament would be a great success..."

"What are you saying?"

Lin Shu interrupted her father again, asking with a half-smile, "If I don't return to the family this year, does the Lin family not have a suitable candidate?"

"That's not it."

Lin Yi chuckled and spread his hands, "But there are better candidates now."

Lin Shu looked left and right. "A more suitable candidate? Where?"

Lin Yi waved his hand helplessly, "Fine, fine, forget I said anything."

Faced with the situation, he could only abandon the unrealistic idea in his mind and turned to Lin Xue to instruct, "Continue with the Extraordinary Project. With a two-pronged approach, I refuse to believe that we can't produce a half-step extraordinary expert."

"Yes!"

As soon as the serious business was mentioned, the smile on Lin Xue's face vanished instantly, and she nodded solemnly in agreement.

Her words had barely faded when Lin Shu's voice rang out the next second.

"I have an idea."

In an instant, Lin Yi and Lin Xue both looked over.
