"Xie'er, go to sleep early. Tomorrow morning, Mother will take you and your brother to Grandpa's house." Han Rou gently patted Tian Xie's head, but she never told Tian Xie that she had received the letter of divorce and that this time she would never return to the Tian family after going to the Han family.

Tianxie looked at her mother's sad eyes and just nodded obediently without saying anything more. She knew that her mother didn't want to talk about it, but if her mother wanted to, she would naturally tell her.

After Han Rou left the room, Tian Xie closed the door tightly and said to the person behind him, "I will go to the Han family early tomorrow morning. I may not be able to visit my father at the Tian family much in the future."

The man asked with interest, "Judging from your mother's expression, it seems she didn't tell you anything, only that she was taking you to your maternal grandfather's house."

Tianxie lowered his head and said, "Mother didn't say anything, but when Father gave Mother the letter of divorce, they thought I was asleep. Actually, I wasn't asleep. I heard everything. It was because my brother and I were too incompetent that the head of the family wanted Father to take a concubine. Mother didn't want to work with others, so she asked Father for the letter of divorce and prepared to take my brother and me to live in the Han family."

The man frowned slightly and said, "Your mother certainly has backbone, but isn't your father far too weak?"

"You're not allowed to talk about my father like that!" Tianxie said angrily. "Father had no choice. The patriarch is dying, and as the heir to the Tian family patriarch, Father had to do it. It's just that my brother and I are useless."

"Is that the old guy who gave you a fierce look after leaving the back mountain? He should be your grandfather, so why do you keep calling him 'Master'?" The man gestured for Tianxie to sit down and explain slowly.

Tianxie was not angry because the other party said that the patriarch was an old man. He had also seen the unfriendly look in the patriarch's eyes when he left.

Now that we're calm and not talking about the deal, this is the first time we've sat down and had a proper conversation.

Tianxie sat obediently in the chair, a hint of helplessness on his childish face, and said, "On my third birthday, he was very fierce and told me not to call him Grandpa. After that, I never called him Grandpa again. Like a servant, I always called him Master of the Family."

The man nodded slightly, indicating his understanding. He recalled the old man's words to Tianxie's mother before he left the back mountain. Just as everyone was preparing to depart, Tianba transmitted a message to Han Rou: "Those who shouldn't have stayed with the Tian family should understand fate now. Don't even think about getting any benefits from the Tian family anymore. Take the divorce papers and bring your two good-for-nothings back to the Han family!"

At that time, apart from Han Rou, no one else should have been able to hear these words, but as the spirit of the artifact, he heard them clearly, which had a very negative impact on the old man.

"By the way, what's your name? I still don't know how to address you." Tianxie rested his chin on his hand, looking at the devilishly handsome man with curiosity.

"Name? I don't remember," the man said casually.

"Then how should I address you?" Tianxie asked, puzzled. How pitiful, he doesn't even know his own name. His heirloom treasure has remained undiscovered for millennia. Has he been alone in the back mountains for countless years?

"Call me whatever you want, it doesn't matter at all," the man shrugged indifferently.

Tianxie blinked her big eyes and smiled brightly, "You mean you want me to help you name it?"

"Name it?" he asked awkwardly. "There's no need for that."

"Then I might not call you 'Hey,' right? We need to have a name for each other." Tianxie tilted her head and pouted, saying, "My name is Tianxie, you should already know that. You can also call me Xie'er like my parents do. Call me whatever you like."

"I'm not your parents, why should I call you so affectionately?" The man narrowed his eyes slightly, a mischievous glint in them. "You said you'd call you whatever I like? Even 'little girl' is fine?"

Tianxie pursed his lips and nodded, saying, "Consider it a transaction."

"A deal?" The man looked slightly bewildered.

Tianxie jumped off the chair, walked up to the man, and said mischievously, "Call me whatever you want, but as a condition of the deal, I'll give you a name, and you'll have to call me by that name."

"You little rascal, you're such a busybody." The man pursed his lips but didn't refuse.

"Judging from your expression, you seem to agree, right? I won't object to you calling me 'little girl,' so let me give you a name now!" Tianxie sat back in her chair, swaying her little head left and right, scrutinizing the man for a long time. Finally, she clapped her hands and said happily, "Your clothes are all made of leaves, and we met for the first time in a sea of ​​flowers. At first, I thought you were a flower fairy or something. How about you take the surname Hua, Hua Qianye?"

"Isn't that a woman's name!" The man rolled his eyes at Tianxie, somewhat unconvinced.

Tianxie said somewhat domineeringly, "Who said it was a woman's name? Besides, you look like a woman. No man is as good-looking as you. Anyway, whatever name I give you, that's your name!"

"Little girl, who do you think you are! How dare you give me such a name!"

Tianxie, hands on his hips, chuckled slyly, "Although you won't admit it, I understand perfectly well. You are the spirit of the ring. Even if you can control the ring now, you are still its spirit, and you can't live without it. I am the ring's master, and also your master. Why can't I give you this name? Although you are very powerful and seem unwilling to acknowledge me as your master, if I want to lose the ring and destroy my own natal magic weapon, you won't survive either! You'd better cooperate obediently for now. I won't force you to acknowledge me as your master, but don't try to make deals without proper conditions. Remember, we are bound together. If I remain a useless piece of trash, you won't fare much better! If I can become stronger, maybe I can help you. Do you really want to be a spirit forever? If you are truly sealed inside the ring and your body is still alive, maybe I can help you find your body!"

The man smirked and sneered, "Oh, so you've become the master now that you're out of the mountains! You need to understand, you're the one who asked me to help you get rid of the 'good-for-nothing' label! Anyway, I've been living as a soul for millennia, so having a physical body doesn't matter to me!"

Tianxie lowered her head in defeat. After all, she was only a five-year-old child. No matter how smart she was, how could she possibly win an argument against a spirit that had been around for millions of years?

"But I really put my heart into thinking of this name for you. I think this name really suits you. You are as beautiful as a flower, and your clothes are made of leaves. Leaves are much stronger than flowers. Your appearance is as beautiful as a flower, but it withers easily. However, you can be alone for thousands of years. Your heart should be as resilient as a leaf. Hua Qianye (花千叶) sounds both gentle and graceful, and it also conveys the perseverance of a thousand leaves. Such a good name, I don't even have one! My name is Tianxie (天邪). Although my mother kept it from me, I already knew from my cousins ​​that it was because I was evil. I have no immortal roots or spiritual roots. I am an evil freak of the Tian family, so I am called Tianxie. What a bad meaning. But there is no way. The head of the family named me, so I have to use this name." Tianxie's voice gradually became a little hoarse.

The man was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that this little girl had put so much thought into choosing her name, nor that she could have come up with so many things for it. It was just three simple characters, but she was quite capable of coming up with so much. It was just that her name meant something else. He had thought it was a bit strange before, wondering why a perfectly normal girl would have such a masculine name like Tianxie. It turned out that it meant she was a strange and eccentric child of the Tian family.

A hint of pity flashed in his blue eyes, and he said awkwardly, "Since it's a deal, you gave me this name, so I can only accept it. But I don't want to call you 'little girl' anymore; from now on, I'll call you Wuxie."

Tianxie looked at the other person with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why do you call me Wuxie?"

The man raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Your mother was essentially divorced. Since you left the Tian family with her, you're no longer part of the Tian family. You'll be going to the Han family, and you and your brother will naturally take the surname Han. I don't know what your maternal grandfather will name you, but I think Han Wuxie is a good name."

"Han Wuxie?" Tianxie's eyes seemed to well up with tears, and he asked in a childish and shy voice, "You mean I'm innocent, without any evil aura?"

"Isn't that what it means literally?" the man retorted indifferently.

"That's what I mean, but I don't know if that's what you mean." Tianxie looked at the other person with some anticipation.

"Alright, stop looking at me with those pitiful eyes. If you think it's true, then it is! Stop rambling on. I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep!" After saying this, the man seemed to be fleeing, transforming into a streak of blue light and disappearing into the ring on Tianxie's finger.

Looking at the antique ring on his finger, Tianxie muttered to himself in confusion, "Isn't it dark now? Don't souls sleep during the day?"
