The Goal: Work Every Civil Engineering Department Disciple Into Taking a Vacation!
A clear, crisp cry of a baby broke the surrounding silence.
The Wuj iang Holy Mother and Feng Fei rushed in the moment they heard the crying.
Everyone else now wore smiles.
Just as everyone was smiling, Ouyang Ling, her hand covered in blood, walked out and winked at Senior Brother Xinghe, saying, "It's a daughter, mother and daughter are safe!"
But when Ouyang Ling walked out, everyone's smiles vanished!
Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded... We've always said that Ouyang Ling is known for her boldness, but isn't Sister-in-law Jiuli even bolder than Ouyang Ling...?
Is she hiring Ouyang Ling to deliver her baby? Is she playing with fire?
As if noticing the astonishment on everyone's faces, Ouyang Ling said while wiping her hands, "What are you all thinking... I'm closest to Sister Jiuli. I was just keeping Jiuli company inside. This blood is from when I was wiping Sister Jiuli's daughter's body. The whole delivery was done by Senior Sister Nangong and the senior sisters from the Spirit Crane Palace."
Upon hearing Ouyang Ling's explanation, smiles returned to the room.
No problem. It doesn't need much explanation that Jiuli and Ouyang Ling have a good relationship. If Jiuli and Ouyang Ling's relationship were even slightly worse, Ouyang Ling wouldn't have resorted to this tactic.
Her various medicinal skills are, in some ways, similar to the cuisine of the Jiuli.
As things were tidied up inside, Feng Fei, holding his newborn daughter, was about to come out, but before he could even step out of the door, he was glared back by the elder's eyes!
"You insolent brat... This little girl is so frail, how can she be exposed to the wind so easily!"
The elder stepped forward, looking at the little girl in Feng Fei's arms with a face full of affection.
"Master, it's a daughter!" Feng Fei said with a silly grin.
"You damn thing... I can't tell it's a girl?"
Feng Fei: "..."
People say that grandparents and grandchildren are more affectionate towards each other. Feng Fei didn't know what that meant before, but now Feng Fei does... Um... Elder... my daughter was just born, and I, her disciple, have already fallen out of favor?
The elder carefully took the sleeping little girl from Feng Fei's hands and held her in his arms. At this moment, everyone came up to see what was happening.
After handing the little girl over to the Grand Elder, Feng Fei immediately followed the Wuj iang Holy Mother to help Jiuli clean up.
A moment later, after everything was tidied up, the Wuj iang Holy Mother and Feng Fei walked out of the inner room together. At this time, in the hall outside, many big shots from Vast Heaven Holy Land surrounded the Grand Elder who was holding the little girl, and everyone had a smile on their face.
As they walked up to the little girl, a flash of red light appeared between the brows of the Wuj iang Holy Mother. The next moment, the Wuj iang Holy Mother used her own blood essence as a guide to activate the Wuj iang Secret Technique. At this moment, a drop of blood, shimmering with a faint light, flew out from between the brows of the Wuj iang Holy Mother and slowly landed on the brow of the little girl who was still fast asleep.
The essence and blood instantly merged into the little girl's brow and disappeared.
This is the Bloodline Connection the Wuj iang Secret Technique... This drop of essence blood condenses the life force of the Wuj iang Holy Mother, and this power will protect the little girl from all diseases and help her grow up healthily in the future.
"Feng Fei... have you thought of a name for the little girl?" Gu Mingchao Feng Fei with a smile.
Upon hearing the Holy Lord's words, Feng Fei quickly looked towards the Grand Elder and said, "Feng Fei requests a name from Master!"
Upon hearing Feng Fei's words, many of the old men present showed expressions of relief.
When Feng Fei was still a baby, he was brought into the sect by the Grand Elder. Back then, Feng Fei was an abandoned baby that the Grand Elder had picked up from outside.
If it weren't for the Grand Elder's discovery, Feng Fei might have died in that desolate wilderness long ago.
Regarding Feng Fei's background, over the years some influential figures have suggested investigating it, since with the strength of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, it shouldn't be too difficult to do so.
However, the Grand Elder felt there was no need to investigate further. Whatever the reason for Feng Fei's parents abandoning him back then, it meant they had severed all ties with him. What was the point of finding out more? It would only cause more trouble...
Feng Fei never thought about investigating his own background, nor did he need to know who abandoned him, because from the time Feng Fei could remember, the Grand Elder had been teaching him like a father.
The Grand Elder may have been very strict with Feng Fei, but all the bigwigs in the Vast Heaven Holy Land knew that it was precisely because the Grand Elder treated Feng Fei like his own child that he was so strict.
Therefore, without the Grand Elder, there would be no Feng Fei today. Feng Fei is not only a disciple to the Grand Elder, but also no different from a biological son.
Now that Feng Fei has his own daughter, the task of naming his Future granddaughter naturally falls to the Grand Elder.
"Today is an auspicious day. Although there was a light drizzle, the rain had stopped before the little girl was born, so let's name her after that!" the elder said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master, for bestowing this name upon my daughter. From today onwards, she will be called Feng Yuguo!"
The audience. "???"
Grand Elder: "..."
Seeing that his senior Senior Brother Feng Fei was rambling incoherently due to his excessive excitement, Ma Liang quickly interjected, "Senior Brother Feng, what nonsense are you spouting... How could the Grand Elder mean to call Feng Yuguo...?"
"His name should be Feng Guotian..."
The audience. "???"
The elder came up and kicked Ma Liang, telling him to get lost!
"Xinghe... you tell these two idiots what name I gave them!" The Grand Elder was dumbfounded by these two fools.
Upon hearing the Grand Elder's prompting, Chu Xinghe laughed and said, "Grand Elder, I think they did it on purpose. 'After the rain comes sunshine,' so of course it should be called Feng Yuqing! 'After the rain comes sunshine...' Because of Junior Brother Feng Yuzheng, I suggest changing the character 'Yu' to 'Yu,' and calling her Feng Yuqing!"
Hearing Xinghe's words, many big shots nodded in agreement, indicating that there was nothing wrong with them.
Before everyone could praise the name the elder had chosen for the little girl, the elder spoke up, "What nonsense... The name I chose is Feng Weiyu!"
The audience. "???"
Chu Xinghe: "..."
Chu Xinghe was speechless... No... Elder, I'm just saying, you talked about the rain clearing up for so long, and then you called her Feng Weiyu. So tell me, Elder, what was the point of emphasizing the rain clearing up?
"However... Feng Yuqing, meaning 'after the storm comes the sunshine'... that's a good name... so let's call her Feng Yuqing!"
The First Elder was chuckling as he teased Feng Yuqing in his arms.
"Feng Yuqing... Feng Yuqing... From today onwards, you'll be called Feng Yuqing. Come, come, open your eyes and look at Grandpa. Tsk tsk tsk... Grandpa will teach you the art of alchemy..."
The little girl's name, Feng Yuqing, came about under these circumstances, though it's hard to say whether it's strictly accurate or not...
Whether the name is precise or not is unimportant. But hearing the Grand Elder's words, Chu Xinghe thought of Evening Primrose... Moon Nether Grass... Moon-something Grass... Who cares what kind of grass it is... But learning herbal identification from the Grand Elder in alchemy... just thinking about it was terrifying...
In the following days, disciples from various palaces came in groups to visit Jiuli and Feng Yuqing. The senior and junior sisters from each palace also brought various small toys and gifts that they had prepared in advance to Jiuli.
Chu Xinghe also picked out a lot of small gifts for his little niece, Feng Yuqing. These gifts didn't need to be expensive, after all, Chu Xinghe was Feng Fei's best brother who had shared a room with him in the first place!
We're closer than brothers, even if we're not blood-related, so the value of the gift doesn't matter; it's the thought that counts.
Meanwhile, Chu Xinghe was picking out some toys suitable for children when Senior Brother Shen Chun suddenly popped out from some unexpected corner.
"Junior Brother Xinghe, the Grand Elder wants you to go to the Haotian Grand Hall now!"
Something happened?
"No... we just wanted to discuss something..." Shen Chun explained as he led Chu Xinghe toward the Haotian Grand Hall.
According to the customs of the Blazing Sun Continent, after a woman marries into her husband's family and gives birth to a child, the husband's family is required to prepare generous gifts to thank the woman's family. This is called a "thank-you gift."
The gifts given as a token of gratitude to the betrothal family were sometimes even more valuable than the betrothal gifts.
Feng Fei represents the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Jiuli's maternal family represents the Wuj iang Land. Their union is essentially a union of two forces, so the Vast Heaven Holy Land naturally needs to plan and prepare this wedding gift carefully.
After all, the value of the wedding gift reflects the groom's family's respect for the bride and their regard for the child.
Upon hearing Senior Brother Shen Chun mention the gift of gratitude, Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up!
My dear niece Feng Yuqing, you were born a lucky charm for Uncle Xinghe!
However, just to be on the safe side, Chu Xinghe specifically asked Shen Chun if, according to custom, after delivering the thank-you gift, Wuj iang wouldn't give them any further gifts in return, right?
Because you see... last time Feng Fei got married, our Vast Heaven Holy Land went all out for this wedding... but that's where the problem was!
After all, the groom's family went all out with the betrothal gifts and the wedding of the century, and the Wuj iang Holy Mother is a person of considerable standing, right...?
Since your Vast Heaven Holy Land values us Jiuli so highly, how could the Wuj iang Holy Mother possibly be reluctant to part with her only daughter? That's why the more our Vast Heaven Holy Land gives, the stronger the Wuj iang's reaction becomes...
So if the other side also gives some kind of return gift after the thank-you gift, Chu Xinghe thinks he will definitely remain silent this time...
However, Chu Xinghe soon learned from Shen Chun that the gift of gratitude was given solely by the man to the woman, and the woman did not need to reciprocate in any way. There was no such custom in the entire Blazing Sun Continent!
Upon hearing Senior Brother Shen Chun's explanation, Chu Xinghe almost hugged Shen Chun and kissed him!
Senior Brother Shen Chun was flawless!
As long as the other side doesn't give us any feedback, then I, Chu Xinghe, will definitely arrange this wedding gift perfectly.
Senior Brother Feng Fei, please rest assured... the entire Vast Heaven Holy Land, please rest assured... we'll take this gift of gratitude to the highest level!
Once this thank-you gift was introduced, from then on, anyone who mentioned thank-you gifts had to think of us!
This is going to be a huge mess for us!
Our goal is to... give Civil Engineering Department students a vacation!
