It had to be said that Xu Zhe's assist had indeed been effective.
If Lin Feng had done these things and actively sought credit and favor from Xu Lin, Xu Lin wouldn't have felt much.
But Lin Feng's silent efforts, not actively revealing them, had made Xu Lin interested and favorable towards him.
On the other side, Lin Feng was still unaware that Xu Lin had learned the truth.
At this moment, he had just returned to the small two-story building, and the information about Xu Lin in his mind had undergone a complete transformation.
Xu Lin's favorability towards him had actually changed from -40 to +40, a difference of 80 points.
Looking at the change in Xu Lin's favorability towards him, it would be a lie to say Lin Feng wasn't excited.
He figured it must be that idiot Xu Zhe who had finally understood things and helped him clarify everything.
Never mind, this woman Xu Lin couldn't be pursued too actively. I'll wait for her to contact me!
Lin Feng knew that Xu Lin's personality was different from other women, and he wasn't in a hurry to develop feelings with her.
Returning to the small two-story building, Lin Feng saw Hua Yu swinging on a swing in the courtyard.
Hua Yu was dressed casually in a slip dress, revealing her fair shoulders and long, slender legs.
Her jet-black hair fluttered freely in the wind, and her clear face radiated tranquility and enjoyment.
Lin Feng looked at Hua Yu, who was enjoying the beautiful moment, and genuinely felt that Hua Yu, in a relaxed state, was particularly beautiful.
She was like a delicate flower, bringing joy at first glance and even evoking an impulse to walk over and embrace her slender waist.
"My dear Miss Hua, you've been living quite leisurely lately!"
Lin Feng walked over and greeted Hua Yu with a smile.
Hua Yu only then noticed Lin Feng's return and seemed a bit surprised, "Why did you come back so suddenly?"
"Why can't I come back? I was just worried about you being alone and needed to come back and check on you often."
"What if you got sick or ran into trouble?"
Lin Feng explained with a smile.
Hua Yu looked at Lin Feng, who spoke so earnestly, and said with a half-smile, "Alright, I thought you wouldn't care about me anymore when you returned. I judged a gentleman with the heart of a petty person."
"But you don't need to worry about me. Uncle Shou said my family won't force me to go back and told me to cultivate my relationship with you properly."
"You should know that those people in my family are snobs. Now that they know you are stronger than Lin Zhen, they have naturally changed their attitude towards you."
Hua Yu hid nothing from Lin Feng. Her current freedom and unrestrained life were all thanks to Lin Feng.
"I understand! Your Hua family thinks I can bring you happiness and be useful to your family's future, so they want you to fawn over me. How could I not understand this logic!"
Lin Feng chuckled.
Hua Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes at his words.
"You're thinking too much. I won't fawn over you."
"However, you need to pay attention to the Ye family's matters."
"The Ye family's delay in acting must be because they're unsure of your strength. With Ye Lingtian's character, after you captured his son and repeatedly provoked the Ye family, he, as the head of the family, couldn't possibly swallow such an insult."
"If my analysis is correct, Ye Lingtian must be investigating you in secret. Once the Ye family figures out your background, they will make a move against you."
Hua Yu reminded him.
"Thanks for the reminder. Since you're so good at analyzing, I actually have something I need to discuss with you."
Lin Feng greatly admired Hua Yu's intelligence and told her about his situation with Xu Lin.
Hua Yu was somewhat incredulous to learn that Lin Feng now needed 100% favorability from Xu Lin.
"Lin Feng, although I'm not a martial artist, I've heard about many cultivation techniques. I've never seen someone like you who assigns tasks.
"Moreover, why is your cultivation technique so special? It always gives you a task, and after completing it, you gain new abilities.
"Haven't you ever thought that there might be something wrong with this cultivation technique?"
Hua Yu frowned.
"Of course, I've thought about it, but I have no proof!"
"I've been pondering this matter these past few days. I've found that every time the cultivation technique gives me a hint, it's related to the women I've encountered."
"For example, the first time I met you, didn't the cultivation technique give me a hint that your jade pendant was useful to me, which is why we ended up where we are today?"
"And Shen Xinyue and the others, they all have inextricable ties to the skills I've awakened, which forces me to have excessive contact with these women."
Lin Feng told Hua Yu everything he had thought of.
"According to you, it's not your fault for being a playboy; it's because you're forced into it?"
Hua Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
Lin Feng nodded seriously, "Yes, I'm not a scumbag. It's the cultivation technique that forces me to pursue girls. I'm actually quite upright."
Pfft!
Hua Yu laughed until tears almost streamed from her eyes.
After interacting with Lin Feng for so long, she knew what kind of person he was.
Although the cultivation technique played a role, Lin Feng himself was still susceptible to beauty. Otherwise, no matter how much it was forced, it wouldn't have led to the current situation.
"What are you laughing at? I'm serious."
"Think about it carefully, have I ever had improper thoughts about you?"
"We're legally married, and I haven't even touched your chest. Doesn't that prove I'm a gentleman?"
Lin Feng straightened his back, trying his best to prove his point.
"You're a gentleman, I know. You don't need to prove it to me so urgently."
Hua Yu found Lin Feng very cute at the moment.
She stopped teasing Lin Feng, put away her smile, and helped him analyze, "If your cultivation technique is all for your benefit, then there must be a reason why it chose Xu Lin as your mission target this time."
"And I think this mission is quite interesting. To put it bluntly, your cultivation technique wants you to pursue Xu Lin and then gives you new abilities. You should be happy, not so troubled?"
Lin Feng disagreed, "Miss Hua, I told you I'm not the type to be unable to move when I see a beautiful woman. My feelings towards Xu Lin are the same as towards you – I have no improper thoughts. It's just this darn cultivation technique that forces me to get close to her."
"Moreover, this Xu Lin is different from other women. Getting her 100% favorability is as difficult as climbing to heaven."
Lin Feng gave a wry smile. He had saved Xu Zhe and helped Xu Lin multiple times, and Xu Lin's favorability towards him had only reached 40 points. It was easy to imagine how difficult 100 points would be.
Hua Yu nodded. After listening to Lin Feng's description of Xu Lin, she also felt that Xu Lin was different from most women.
However, she didn't think Xu Lin was difficult to deal with; it was just that Xu Lin was highly guarded against men and not someone who could easily enter her heart.
Such a woman was truly quite good. If Lin Feng succeeded, it would truly be a good cabbage being eaten by a pig.
Hua Yu smiled and suddenly felt a little worried for Xu Lin.
"Lin Feng, why are you telling me this? Logically speaking, isn't this your little secret?"
"You know, if your other girlfriends find out you're pursuing Xu Lin, they'll get jealous?"
Hua Yu blinked her beautiful big eyes, her every smile and movement charming Lin Feng to the point of infatuation.
Lin Feng couldn't help but move closer to Hua Yu, instinctively placing a hand on her fair shoulder, and grinned, "Aren't we legally married? I can't tell others about this kind of thing, so I can only tell you and let you help me brainstorm."
"We've been together for so long, I trust you quite a bit. I feel there's nothing I can't tell you."
As soon as he said this, Hua Yu was stunned.
