Is this also considered confessing?

  Fang Xian came out of the house and indeed it was already evening.

  The backyard of Lin's mansion is full of birdsong and fragrant flowers, indeed having the style of a Suzhou garden. Although it's evening, it's still very pleasant, and the old master isn't lazy at all.

  Before taking two steps, I saw a group of maids surrounding Lin Yue Ru, chatting and laughing, playing and joking. When the maids saw Fang Xian arrive, they giggled for a moment before scattering in all directions, leaving only Lin Yue Ru alone under the moonlight.

  "You... are so annoying..." Lin Yue's face turned bright red with embarrassment as she kicked at the stones behind her.

  "Just passing by." Fang Xian smiled and quickly walked away with his head down.

  "Wait a minute..." Lin Yue Ru asked with a smile, "Hey, don't you think this outfit looks good on me?"

  Taking a closer look, this outfit is basically the long version of the purple shirt from before. On Lin Yue Ru's body, it indeed has a unique flavor. In an instant, she transformed from a heroic female knight to a beautiful woman. As they say, she can take down enemies on the battlefield and warm up the bed.

  "Good looking."

  "Dislike... aren't you just perfunctorily doing this?" Lin Yu'er turned her back and continued kicking stones.

  "Really good-looking."

  Lin Yue Ru let out a snort of laughter and continued to ask: "Then tell me, what exactly is good-looking about me?"

  "It's all beautiful everywhere."

  Lin Yue said discontentedly: "Why are you men always like this? Not serious at all."

  Fang Xian was even more dissatisfied. He had been holding this in for a long time: "You women are all the same, after a thousand years, you're still asking the same few questions back and forth."

  "What's wrong? I just asked one question!"

  "Don't ask, I'll answer ahead of time." Fang Xian turned around and walked towards the main hall, leaving behind a not-so-romantic but down-to-earth confession for Lin Yue Ru.

  "You ask if I like you, I do. You ask when I started liking you, I've liked you since I was 10 years old. You ask what I like about you, I like everything about you. If you must ask again where I like the most - I like hitting your butt."

  "You..." Lin Yue Ru wanted to get angry, but somehow couldn't manage to, this sentence seemed casual on the surface, yet it appeared to contain many stories within.

  Especially the last sentence.

  Lin Yue rubbed her buttocks, slapped herself once, and both her butt and heart were spinning around.

  In the main hall of Lin's mansion, Lin Zhen Nan had been waiting for a long time.

  Fang Xian walked over to Lin Zhen Nan's side and saw him silently facing his ancestors' memorial tablet.

  "What's wrong with my father-in-law?"

  Lin Zhen Nan sighed: "Alas... those were all past events. In the past, my Lin family's ancestors, Lin Zhen Tian, shook the four corners of the universe with their might. Later, our ancestors, Lin Zhen Di, also dominated the four seas. And then, my father, Lin Zhen Guo, unified the Chinese martial arts world. But by my generation, among my four brothers - Lin Zhen Nan, Lin Zhen Bei, Lin Zhen Dong, and Lin Zhen Xi - we could only each occupy one corner of the land. It seems like Heaven is opposing my Lin family, letting us decline with each passing generation... I have accepted this fate. Originally, I had already chosen a good name for my son, Lin Zhen Cheng, but unfortunately, my wife was unable to give birth to even a single male child..."

  "Don't worry, Father-in-law, it's just that your dad didn't give you a good name. Besides, the grassroots are better than the central government, no one is in charge."

  "That's right, back then in the capital city, the competition was quite fierce." Lin Zhennan shook off his sorrowful emotions, placed both hands on Fang Xian's shoulders, and looked at him with hope-filled eyes, "Son-in-law, my Lin family's future is now relying on you."

  "...do one's best." Fang Xian could only perfunctorily make some excuses, according to his plan, tonight he would bid farewell to his father-in-law and help revitalize his sister's Lin family, but as for the Fang family, they still didn't know how to get by.

  Lin Zhen Nan's expression suddenly turned stern, and he said seriously: "Ah, son-in-law, I have something to ask you. Please answer truthfully, as it concerns your marriage with Yue Ru."

  It seems that Fang Xian has already figured out his relationship with Ling'er and wants to put pressure on her, squeezing her into a smaller space.

  "Father-in-law, may I ask?"

  "Good." Lin Zhen Nan cleared his throat, "Son-in-law, what's your name?"

  "Plop..." Someone overthought it.

  "Shut up, we ended too quickly during the day and I forgot to ask."

  With a calm expression, he wiped the sauce from his mouth and bowed: "My surname is Zhang, my name is Si, I live in Yuhang County and make a living by fishing. What Liu Jin-yuan said was right, I am indeed a fisherman."

  Lin Zhen Nan smiled and shook his head: "No, no, your kung fu is definitely not something a fisherman can learn, you'd better be honest."

  Fang Xian knew that this time he had met a worthy opponent. The leader of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance was still somewhat skilled, at least more reliable than the expert.

  "Father-in-law has a good eye for things, that move of Sword Controlling Technique was passed down to me by the Wine Sword Immortal of Mount Shu."

  "Ahah!" Lin Zhen Nan clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "I knew it was the sword technique of Mount Shu Sect, only the flavor is a bit different when used by you."

  Fang Xianqiong humbly said: "I was lucky and later had the good fortune to follow a woodsman and learn two moves."

  "What?! Lin Zhennan's expression suddenly turned serious, "Yuhang County... woodcutter... you're talking about Ding Dabo?"

  "He's so famous? By the way, why are you also calling him 'Dàbó'?"

  "It was him, no wonder." Lin Zhen Nan recalled the past, "When I was young, I had a fight with him. The Ding family's palm technique, axe technique and body technique were all very powerful, but he was lazy by nature and didn't like to get involved in these martial arts matters, so he hid in Yuhang Town. Your kung fu combines the elegance of Mount Shu School and the power of Ding Family Martial Arts, you are indeed a rare talent, it's no shame that Yue Ru lost to you."

  Fang Xian's head was a bit dizzy, and he realized that Ding Daobo was also a high-ranking person who was on par with Lin Zhennan.

  Lin Zhen Nan said with a sudden burst of enthusiasm, and then pushed Fang Xian aside. He put his right hand behind his back and stretched out his left hand in a gesture of invitation:

  "Come on, come on, let's exchange a few moves. Let me feel your skills and I'll pass on the Lin family's martial arts to you in the future."

  "Fang Xian pushed back and said: 'I've used all my moves, you saw them during the day, no need to compare again.'"

  "Is that so......" Lin Zhen Nan stroked his beard, then suddenly rolled up his sleeves and laughed, "Then I'll test your foundation. I'll hit you with three moves, if you can withstand them, I'll teach you a move from the Lin family's martial arts."

  "Wait... don't be like this... My previous father-in-law was also like this."

  "One Yang Finger!"

  "Plop..."

  "Alright! Let's go again! Seven Extremes of Battle Qi!"

  "Ugh..."

  "Awesome! Here comes my third move - Dragon's Roar Fist!"

  "Huff... huff..."

  After three rounds, Fang Xian was barely standing, and even the Suzhou dishes he had eaten were all vomited out, and the blood he had just nourished was instantly depleted.

  Lin Zhennan burst out laughing and patted Fang Xian: "Good kid, you have a strong foundation."

  "Thank you so much for your kind words, Uncle."

  Lin Zhen Nan saw Fang Xian Kuai hang up and also took out a dan medicine to give him.

  Fang Xian took over the dan medicine and pondered for a moment. After seeing that it was [Xingjun Dan], he decisively stuffed it into his four-dimensional space bag.

  Lin Zhennan asked: "Son-in-law, can't you cure her?"

  "My father-in-law has good eyesight."

  Lin Zhen Nan thought for a moment and said: "Since that's the case, I'll teach you a move called 'Condensing Qi to Return to the Origin'. You can treat yourself without relying on others, watch closely!"

  "Hint: You have learned Condense Qi and Return to Origin, restoring 220 points of physical strength."

  "Thank you, brother-in-law! I'm full!"

  Lin Zhen Nan nodded and smiled, just about to follow Fang's chat with these few Lin family ancestors, thoroughly brainwashing him, when he heard a burst of maids' screams coming from the backyard.

  Shuǐ Yuè strode into the great hall with a fierce expression.

  "Master, Young Master Zhang, it's terrible... a snake... a serpent demon!"

  "Oh?!"

  Lin Zhen Nan's "Oh!?" is a person's instinctive reaction when faced with sudden accidents.

  Fang Xian's "Oh!?" was actually a genuine confusion after some thought.
