Chapter 1361: Chapter 364: Second Stage of the Immortal Sect (2)

"When you see your third uncle, make sure to greet him properly," Wei Fei reminded.

"Okay, Daddy!"

The little one replied joyfully, clutching a candy figurine in her hand. This candy figurine was meant for her third uncle. She had always wanted to give it to him, but he had not been in Jiangnan, so she never had the opportunity.

Today, she finally gets to meet him formally.

Her daddy and mommy seemed a bit nervous, but she didn’t understand why. They were just visiting their relatives, meeting her third uncle. Aren’t they all family? So why is there this slight awkwardness between them?

It shouldn’t be like this. Could it be that something even a child can understand is something that adults can’t see clearly?

I don’t get it, and I don’t want to overthink. Anyway, just giving my third uncle this candy figurine should do.

Then, things unfolded exactly as the young girl imagined.

When she saw her third uncle, he was puzzled for a moment. Upon learning her identity from her daddy, he broke into an excited smile and swiftly stepped forward, embracing her warmly.

That’s how simple it is; nothing complicated about it.

The young girl hugged her third uncle’s neck and handed over her candy figurine.

Yuchi decisively took the candy figurine from the young girl’s hand.

His old face beamed like a flower as he pulled out many small trinkets from his sleeve, chuckling and saying to his niece, "Niannian, you’re so big already? Make sure you eat well, okay?"

Wei Niannian, that’s the young girl’s name, and Yuchi actually knew it. He had been to the magistrate’s office so often; how could he not discuss this matter with the County Magistrate? Of course he knew, but knowing didn’t mean he could immediately seek out his second brother.

It’s not really about being shy. It’s primarily because his second brother is rarely at the office, so why would he go looking for his sister-in-law alone?

If others found out, who knows what kind of nonsense they’d talk about. To avoid gossip, there was no need for him to visit his sister-in-law when his second brother was absent.

Thus, his visits to the office were short, and since his second brother was seldom around, he was aware of such a little girl but wasn’t clear about her age, her current appearance, or her favorite trinkets.

Everything was unclear and unknown until today when his second brother unexpectedly came to find him, which was completely surprising.

Wei Fei and his wife relaxed considerably after seeing Yuchi’s reaction.

Indeed, adults can be challenging to deal with sometimes.

But between adults and children, there’s no barrier at all. Handling these relationships is much easier than the quarrels and hassles between adults.

"Third Brother, you know her name?" Wei Fei was quite surprised because he hadn’t told his third brother about it.

"Of course, I know."

Yuchi paused and said, "It’s a good name!!!"

Both: "..."

Then, Wei Fei felt more at ease and said, "Third Brother, you are truly a celebrity in Jiangnan now!"

"While I was traveling away from Jiangnan, even at post stations, I heard many people talking about you!"

"You’ve really brought glory to our family!"

Wei Fei said with a smile.

His travels weren’t due to a bad relationship with the County Magistrate, quite the opposite. They were well-acquainted, and the idea was for him to meet folks from other cities to expand connections, ensuring mutual assistance in the future.

Ultimately, this world is a world of relationships, and interactions between people are vital, more so than many schemes and strategies.

On his travels, Wei Fei constantly heard such news.

Even an old lady by the roadside knew of Yuchi, and when she talked about him, her face lit up with a bright smile. She had no teeth, but she smiled happily, babbling on.

Then Wei Fei turned his gaze to his daughter and spoke to his third brother:

"Third Brother, Niannian is already three years old. For a long time, she’s wanted you to help give her a name, but there was never an opportunity. Now that there’s finally a chance, could you give her a name?"

Wei Niannian technically already had a name, one given by her parents, a formal name suitable for official records. However, within the family, these names aren’t usually used in casual settings.
