Rest Assured, Father-in-Law.
The Chen Manor is clearly the site of the Sun Moon Sect's Fireworks Festival, an annual celebration of the Sun Moon Sect.
At this time, members of the Sun Moon Sect would go to the town to see the lanterns and guess the riddles.
However, Jiang Lin and Chen Huo were lying in armchairs watching the fireworks.
Perhaps it was still too boring, Chen Huo slowly began to speak:
"Hey kid, tell me, should we look at these fireworks from below or from the side?"
"..." Jiang Lin's brow twitched slightly. "I didn't expect you to be a second-generation anime fan, Uncle Chen."
What ape?
"Nothing."
Jiang Lin waved his bandaged hand. "It's nothing, but no matter how you look at it, I think it should be round. I like round ones."
"Yes, actually, I like round things too."
"..."
For a moment, the same thought seemed to flash through their minds, and they fell silent.
"Cough cough cough..." Chen Huo coughed a few times, "I heard, you brat, do you really want to take the Three Questions Fist from the Chen clan for Little Jia's sake?"
"Mm." Jiang Lin nodded.
"Hehehe, kid, you'd better not get flattened later."
"Well, actually I'm a little nervous too." Fireworks illuminated Jiang Lin's thick-skinned face.
"Tch, anyone would panic, but I didn't expect you to have such Bone Spirit. However, I've also heard about your affair with the White Empire's Empress. What's going on?"
"... Jiang Lin's forehead was slightly sweaty, "Actually, I have a dream..."
"???"
Jiang Lin glanced around, but just in case, he used his Martial Warrior Sound Condensation to transmit what he wanted to say into Chen Huo's mind.
After all, as Little Jia's father, he certainly has the right to know about this matter.
You little brat!
Upon hearing Jiang Lin's words, Chen Huo immediately tried to sit up and fight with Jiang Lin, but unfortunately, he strained his back.
"I thought you'd only be entangled with the White Empire's Empress, but I didn't expect you to have a senior sister too! Wait! What about Peak Lord Jiang! Jiang Lin! I..."
"Father-in-Law, calm down! Father-in-Law!"
Don't call me father-in-law!
"Father!"
Holy crap! You two aren't even married yet!
On two separate armchairs, Jiang Lin and two people wrapped up like mummies started wrestling again.
However, while they were fighting, Chen Huo suddenly strained his back again and lay back down safely.
Seeing Chen Huo clutching his back, Jiang Lin sighed, "Is he really reaching middle age?"
"Uncle Chen, to be honest, I have a thermos here, and it's quite useful to soak goji berries in it every day."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Chen Huo used his Martial Warrior True Qi to take Jiang Lin's thermos cup.
"Sigh, whatever. Men can have three wives and four concubines. Even emperors in mortal kingdoms Imperial Harem. I used to think that way too. You know, before I started practicing martial arts, I was a descendant of Lords. I could have had more than three wives and four concubines, let alone three palaces and six courtyards."
Until I met Little Zhuang.
Wait, what are you doing eating sunflower seeds?
"It's alright, Uncle Chen, please continue."
"Give me some."
"Oh."
Do you have any wine?
"Yes, there is, the 1982 ' Daughter Red."
Which 1982?
"It seems to be the 82nd year of the Da Gan Dynasty in central Wutong Province."
"Well, it tastes pretty good."
As he drank, Chen Huo began to tell his story:
"I always remember the time I went to war with the army, and it was during the battle between the two armies that I saw Little Zhuang's appearance for the first time."
That white dress, that simple and cute ponytail, and especially those long legs that even the hem of the dress couldn't cover.
The moment I saw Little Zhuang, I knew she was my woman.
"Then what?"
"Then, we certainly underestimated Little Zhuang, who appeared out of nowhere in front of the two armies, until she directly faced our thousands of troops and I had my father step forward to confront her!"
If she loses, the other party will surrender and submit.
If she wins, we will withdraw our troops and will not be allowed to invade for ten years.
My father was Fifth Realm Martial Warrior. Although his foundation was not good and he could not be considered Pure Martial Warrior, Fifth Realm Martial Warrior was already considered a rare Grandmaster level in the mortal world.
At that time, Little Zhuang actually said that she would suppress her cultivation level to the third realm to fight against my father.
As for the result...
Chen Huo wiped his face.
"After the withdrawal of troops, my father, whose whole body was wrapped in bandages, told me, 'Never marry Female Martial Warrior! She can be more ferocious than a tiger.'"
Only then did I realize that Little Zhuang had already reached the Seventh Realm Martial Warrior.
In fact, she could have defended the city until we ran out of food, and even taken my father's head from the enemy lines as easily as taking candy from a baby.
The reason she confronted my father was simply to give us face.
After that, I liked this girl even more.
After breaking camp, he secretly slipped away, just to find her.
I went straight into the enemy city.
Although we withdrew our troops, the other side certainly wouldn't dare to do anything to me, so I just stayed behind Little Zhuang.
No matter how Little Zhuang tried to get rid of me, I wouldn't leave. Little Zhuang said she thought my Martial Warrior Realm was too low, so I'll go and improve my Martial Warrior Realm.
Anyway, to win a girl's heart, you have to be persistent and keep saying nice things. Men who are too proud won't win a girl's heart.
Jiang Lin nodded. "I understand. In the end, if you lick someone's boots, you either end up with no house or everything else."
Why do you always have such a string of fallacies?
"Never mind me, Uncle Chen, please continue."
Uncle Chen wiped his nose, a smug look on his face:
"Finally, although I wasted a few years practicing martial arts without taking it seriously, I still managed to reach the Distant Excursion Realm, which is something that most Martial Warrior in the world can never achieve, thanks to my excellent martial arts talent."
At that point, Little Zhuang was finally won over by my sincerity.
Little Zhuang told me not to go to Ten Thousand Mile City to receive those Three Questions Fist, but how can I do that?
I'm going!
The first person to challenge me to a boxing match was a guy my age named Chen Xiaoge, who was in the same league as me!
There was nothing we could do. Back then, the Chen clan didn't have any Martial God Realm... There were only a few old guys at the Tenth Realm Cessation Realm Martial Warrior, so they couldn't very well come down and bully me.
Back then, I practiced boxing so hard that I felt invincible. I thought I could beat anyone, even someone of the same skill level.
But..."
Looking up at the sky, Chen Huo's tone was full of regret. "After three hundred rounds, I was ultimately just a little short of him."
Hearing Chen Huo's words, Jiu Yi, who had come over at some point, jumped into Jiang Lin's arms, then gave Chen Huo a disdainful look before curling up in Jiang Lin's arms and falling asleep with her tail as a pillow.
"Uncle Chen, it's alright, there's no one else here. Let's tell the truth."
Jiang Lin initially believed her, but seeing the disdainful look Jiu Yi gave Chen Huo just now, Jiang Lin knew that Jiu Yi had definitely read his mind...
"Okay..." Chen Huo wiped his face, looked up at the moon, "I got taken down in one move by that kid."
"..."
"After that, I was heartbroken and felt ashamed to face Little Zhuang. But what I didn't expect was that the very next day, Little Zhuang ran away with me..."
That's the thing I least want to remember in my life. Because of my incompetence, Little Zhuang was ridiculed by the Chen clan of Ten Thousand Mile City and ended up with a husband like me.
Although I later worked hard and returned to the Chen clan, surprising everyone, the fact remains that I hadn't undergone the Three Questions Fist back then.
Looking at Jiang Lin, Chen Huo's eyes showed genuine seriousness:
"Kid! I know you're Sword and Martial Dual Cultivation, and your current achievements are already quite remarkable. I also know that my request is a bit unreasonable."
However, as a father, I don't want my daughter to be looked down upon by the Chen people.
I want your fist imprinted on Ten Thousand Mile City, to tell them that the person you're going to marry is Little Jia!
Can you do it?
Jiang Lin couldn't help but laugh, replying heartily, "At least, I won't be knocked out with a single punch."
"You little rascal."
Chen Huo couldn't help but smile, but looking into Jiang Lin's eyes, Chen Huo knew he could rest assured.
"I'm entrusting my Little Jia to you."
"Don't worry, Father-in-Law."
"Damn it! Don't call me father-in-law!"
Under the moonlight, the two men, wrapped up like mummies, wrestled together again.
Perhaps, this is the romance of two grown men.
