Chapter 174: Third Uncle Jixiang (Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Yuchi placed a rolled letter into Yi'Er's belly, which intrigued Xun Xian.
"Yuchi, are you writing to Song Yinghan?"
"Yes."
"Your relationship must be really good, huh?"
Xun Xian hadn't seen what Song Yinghan looked like, but she knew what kind of place the star observatory was.
A terrifying observatory, as strictly guarded as their Defense Department's Great Tang Prison.
Yet such a place actually has this mechanism entrusted to Yuchi.
Their relationship must be really good; if people heard about this, they wouldn't believe it.
"Song Yinghan surely doesn't covet Yuchi's wealth."
"She definitely wouldn't think Yuchi himself has any cultivation skill either."
"So, what exactly does such an outstanding woman like about Yuchi?"
Being a woman herself, Xun Xian could somewhat understand Song Yinghan's thoughts.
Though she claims not to care, her actions spoke louder, giving such a fine mechanism.
This shows that Yuchi and Song Yinghan's relationship had reached quite a good level.
A bit closer than mere friends.
Xun Xian looked up and down at the well-dressed young man before her. Apart from being a lustful person, he was quite intelligent.
Could it be that she thinks Yuchi is very smart?
Pursing her lips and furrowing her brow, she thought carefully:
"It really is like this. I usually spend a long time by Yuchi's side."
"I didn't have any major ideas come up."
"But to other women, there's something irresistibly attractive about Yuchi."
"Even a strong woman like Song Yinghan couldn't resist the charms of this flirt."
Yuchi rolled his eyes: "Miss Xun, think all you want, but don't say it out loud while thinking."
"Though I appreciate the compliment, how am I a flirt?"
"I'm very pure, you know?"
"Like a little white flower."
Xun Xian couldn't hold it in and burst into laughter: "Ew! You! Yuchi! Little white flower?"
"Wow, you shameless person."
"If you're a little white flower, I'm a pure white lotus."
She rubbed her arm, feeling goosebumps.
White lotus...
Buddy, that's an unfortunate title to bear.
"Haha, that's about enough of this." She laughed.
Yuchi stood in the courtyard, watching Yi'Er soar into the sky, the weather having been clear for over ten days, accelerating gradually.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
The speed was truly fast.
"I wonder when I'll receive a reply from Yinghan."
"But based on a basic deduction, she should have checked the Cloud Mountain Sect and returned to the observatory."
"So, if nothing unexpected happens, I'll probably receive a reply in about ten days."
This is the importance of the network; if there really was a network, I could just call directly.
Or send a message.
"Hello?"
"Getting ready to take a bath."
"Have you eaten?"
"Just did."
"What are you doing?"
"Going to sleep after bathing."
Indeed, even being perfunctory would become much faster, and communication would be very simple.
...
The rest of the day was quite relaxed.
After little Ximo left the teacher, Yuchi took her away from the Wei Family.
"Sir, I'm going fishing. You continue teaching, haha."
Little Ximo waved her hand in her uncle's arms, saying goodbye to the teacher directly.
It had been a long, long time since she went out for fun.
"Sir, I'm taking little Ximo away; thank you for your hard work," Yuchi said with a smile, nodding to him.
"No problem, you go have fun," he replied.
And Xun Xian, serving as a guard, definitely followed alongside.
The three of them took a carriage to the river by the Twelve Linked Huts.
Without disturbing the Twelve Linked Huts, they randomly picked a spot, and the uncle and niece began fishing.
Yuchi didn't really take it seriously, just treating it as an autumn outing.
Yet little Ximo got incredibly lucky.
When it comes to fishing, it seems like there's a beginner's package.
Without any particular method, she hung a corn ball on the hook, into the water, and various fish swarmed.
Fish of all sizes.
As soon as it went in, they'd bite.
"The fish in this river would die out in a day in the previous life."
"Stupid fish."
Yuchi marveled.
Then little Ximo caught another fish, almost getting dragged away.
Yuchi was prepared to help her pull up the big fish, but this little girl was quite fierce.
Laughing heartily, her small body lay on the ground, her little arms held on tight, and she pulled.
After struggling for a long time, she pulled up a smelly sock.
Yuchi burst into laughter like a pig from the side.
Xun Xian's mouth twitched as she spat out water.
"Interesting, interesting!"
The little girl giggled as she rolled around on the ground, eating, drinking, playing, and frolicking, returning home when the sunset appeared.
Loaded with fish, the whole basket was full.
A great harvest.
On the way back, Xun Xian watched little Ximo sleeping with a sweet smile in Yuchi's arms, feeling wistful.
"Little Ximo sure clings to Yuchi. Don't be fooled by her being a little girl; she knows who calls the shots in the Wei Family."
"But when this girl grows up and finds out Yuchi is her uncle, I wonder how she'll react."
