"The existence of talent was first mentioned in ancient times. Only a few types of talent were discovered in ancient times. After ancient times, no more talents were heard of appearing, and the word 'talent' was gradually forgotten and became a legend."

Hua Qianye's gaze was filled with emotion. He had never expected that the ancient inherited talent would appear in a child whom the world regarded as a good-for-nothing. He didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse.

"On the surface, this is a special talent that targets treasures. There was a similar talent in the past called 'Insightful Eyes.' Insightful Eyes allows one to know the weaknesses and effects of a treasure by focusing intently on it. However, this talent doesn't involve the eyes emitting golden light. As far as I know, all talents are unique. Once Insightful Eyes has appeared, it won't appear again. So the golden light in your brother's eyes is the key, perhaps the advantage of a new talent that surpasses Insightful Eyes."

After Hua Qianye finished explaining, those adults who were trying to uncover the mystery ended in failure.

Among them, apart from Wanlicang who stood by watching the show, the others took out their treasures and waved them in front of Tianmiao. Tianmiao just held Hongbao and smiled happily from beginning to end, without his eyes shining with excitement anymore. This made the adults very helpless, and they had no choice but to give up on further investigation one by one.

Seeing Tianmiao holding Hongbao with a happy expression, Han Mengxiao didn't feel any pain at all. On the contrary, he was in a great mood. It seemed that as long as there was something that could satisfy his precious grandson, no matter how precious or rare it was, he would not hesitate to part with it. His precious grandson's possession made him feel more satisfied than if he had it himself.

"It seems my dear grandson must have something extraordinary about him! That old bastard from the Tian family made a huge mistake by naming him Tianmiao! Now that the child has returned to our Han family, today I, as his grandfather, will change his name!"

"Father..." Han Rou hesitated, then stopped speaking and said nothing in the end.

Han Mengxiao smiled calmly, not asking any further questions. She patted Tianmiao's head and said with a smile, "From now on, his surname will be Han, and his given name will be Tianci!"

"Han Tianci?" Han Shi smiled gently, "A good name!"

Han Yu's eyes gleamed mischievously as she raised an eyebrow at Han Mengxiao, saying, "It seems Father is deliberately going against that old man from the Tian family. He named his name Tianmiao, while Father named his name Tianci—two completely opposite meanings!"

"I'm not just going against that old bastard. I genuinely chose this name. The Tian family doesn't cherish him; they treat this child as a mistake of heaven, as a waste. But for our Han family, he's a treasure, a gift from heaven! Although I don't know why his eyes are shining with such brilliance, why he wants nothing but this precious treasure, everything makes me certain that he possesses a great ability that will exceed our expectations!"

"Wrong guess, it really is a great skill, a talent!" Wan Li Cang, who had been silent all along, spoke up. His voice was very calm and casual, as if he had known for a long time. He had just watched them take out treasures one by one to entice the children with their eyes shining with excitement. If someone had said it, he would have been too lazy to say it. It was just a pity that no one had said it. He could only kindly remind them.

"Talent?" Everyone gasped.

"Brother Cang, are you talking about ancient talents? Since ancient times, no one has ever been favored by the heavens, and talents have never appeared. Are you saying that this child who was treated as trash by the Tian family and pushed into our Han family has heavenly... talents?!" Han Mengxiao's voice trembled with excitement.

"Brother, when you gave him the Seven Star Dagger, he took it, looked at it, and then threw it away. This shows that he would look at a high-grade immortal artifact, but he didn't want it because it didn't meet his standards. Later, when you all surrounded him, he looked at the Gale Blade that Yu'er took out several times, his gaze somewhat troubled, as if he was choosing whether to take the blade or not. In the end, he seemed to insist on choosing the Hongbao over the blade. You all know that the Gale Blade is a top-grade immortal artifact. If compared, it can indeed be compared to the Hongbao, but it is still not as good as the Heaven and Earth Hongbao in his hand, so he didn't take it. Obviously, he knew this too, otherwise he wouldn't have had that troubled expression. The other things we took out were not even qualified to be compared to the Heaven and Earth Hongbao, so he only glanced at them and didn't let his gaze linger."

As he spoke, Wan Li Cang stroked his snow-white beard, narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint in them, and concluded, "Such a young child, yet able to distinguish the grade of a celestial artifact and make the correct choice—besides talent, I can't think of a better reason. His talent is similar to the 'Insightful Eye' talent recorded in ancient texts, but I'm certain it's far more powerful, because the 'Insightful Eye' talent requires focused observation to judge the quality of things, while he only needs a glance."

Tianxie heard Hua Qianye's amused laughter: "Your great-uncle is quite remarkable! Although he conceals his aura and outwardly displays the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, I am certain that he is a Luo Tian Upper Immortal, and at the peak of the Luo Tian Upper Immortal realm. Perhaps in less than ten years, he will be able to break through to the Immortal Lord realm."

Tianxie's eyes were somewhat surprised. She had thought that apart from Hua Qianye, the knowledgeable spirit from tens of millions of years ago, no one else present would know these things. However, she did not expect that her unassuming great-uncle was so learned. If no one present knew, perhaps he would continue to hide and give others the opportunity to show off.

"Haha, my precious grandson is really something!" Han Mengxiao happily lifted Tianmiao up and gave him a big kiss on his tender little face.

Han Tianci (from this point on, we'll use the name given to him by the old man of the Han family!) just frowned his cute little brows, his bright black eyes looking at Han Mengxiao curiously for a long time, tilting his little head as if he was thinking about something. Then he looked at Hongbao in his right hand, and in the end, he didn't cry. Instead, he smiled and reached out his left hand to grab Han Mengxiao's beard to show affection. Holding Hongbao in one hand and grabbing the beard in the other, his cute little appearance made Han Mengxiao love him even more.

Han Yu muttered to herself, "It seems this little guy is easy to bribe. He'll let me hold him and kiss him for just one Hongbao, and he'll stop crying. I guess I'll have to find him more nice things in the future, so he'll like me, his uncle."

"Come on, what are you going to use to coax a kid who can't even stand a high-grade immortal artifact? Unless you find something better than Hongbao!" Han Mengxiao provocatively scolded her son, and as if she wouldn't stop until she angered Han Yu, she gave Han Tianci a kiss on the cheek.

Han Yu was speechless with frustration. She turned her gaze to her equally adorable little niece, slapped her forehead, and said, "Dad, shouldn't Tian Xie's name be changed too? We can't use Tian Xie anymore. The old man of the Tian family didn't give it a good meaning back then!"

"Yes, it must be changed!" It was Wanlicang who spoke. He was very reluctant to talk and would only speak at crucial moments. He also rarely cared about anything. The fact that he could say this clearly showed that he cared a lot about the child Tianxie.

"Of course it has to be changed! Back then, our Han family used coercion to force that old bastard Tian family to change Tianxie's name, but he refused. Plus, Rou'er was wholeheartedly helping the Tian family and didn't want trouble, so we had no choice but to give up. Now that Xie'er is back in our Han family, that old bastard Tian family can no longer use the fact that this child is a Tian family child to pressure us. Now Xie'er is our Han family's child, so his name must be changed, and we must still stand up to that old bastard Tian family! Call him Han..." Han Mengxiao hesitated for a long time, unable to come up with a single word, and said in distress, "It's really hard to come up with! Brother Cang, think of one!"

Wan Licang walked to Tian Xie's side, squatted down, and smiled kindly. He rarely smiled, but he had never been stingy with his smiles for Tian Xie in the past. When Tian Xie returned to the Han family when she was three years old, this great-uncle doted on her to an extreme degree. Tian Xie seemed to remember that Wan Licang once said that she was more like her grandmother than her mother.

"Little Xie'er, now that you're back in the Han family, your great-uncle won't let anyone bully you. He knows you suffered a lot of injustice in the Tian family. Today we want to help you change your name. Do you want to change your name?"

Tianxie nodded obediently, a hint of warmth and gratitude flashing in his eyes. The fact that his great-uncle was asking for his opinion meant that no one in the Han family could make things difficult for him. Even if it was something that was good for him, no one would make a decision without asking him in the future. He was given absolute say, a kind of self-respect that he could never get in the Tian family.

Wanlicang affectionately patted Tianxie's head and asked with a smile, "Your maternal grandfather can't think of a good name, but your great-uncle has come up with one. I just don't know if little Xie'er has a name he wants?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Tianxie's eyes, and he whispered, "Can I really use the name I want?"

"Of course!" This time it was Han Shi who answered. Han Shi smiled gently and said, "A name is one's own, but when you are born, you are too young to understand and cannot choose a name. Now that you have the opportunity to change your name, of course you should use the one you like."

Wan Licang nodded in agreement and laughed, "Speak up boldly. This isn't the Tian family; this is the Han family. From now on, you don't need to hold back. Do whatever you want."

Tianxie recalled what Hua Qianye had once told him: "Your mother was essentially divorced. Since you left the Tian family with her, you're no longer part of the Tian family. You'll go 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."

Tianxie glanced cautiously at the spot where Hua Qianye was standing beside him. Hua Qianye remained silent, pretending not to see Tianxie's gaze.

Tianxie couldn't help but laugh as he watched the spirit pretend not to see him. He always felt that this spirit blushed easily. Tianxie smiled and said, "Uncle, I want to be called Wuxie, Han Wuxie."

"Han Wuxie, hahaha..." Wan Li Cang, who rarely laughed, suddenly burst into laughter, which surprised Han Mengxiao, who was familiar with him. However, he did not know that Wan Li Cang was laughing so loudly because the name he thought of for Tianxie was also this name. He did not expect that Tianxie would think the same as him.

Han Yu clapped her hands and exclaimed, "This is a good name! The old man Tian named Tianxie 'Xie,' but we're changing our name to 'Wuxie,' which has a completely opposite meaning. If the old man Tian knew this, he'd be furious!"

Han Mengxiao praised, "Indeed, this is a very effective and targeted name! I want that old bastard from the Tian family to know! Someone, come here!"

At Han Mengxiao's command, two men dressed in black cloaks appeared before him. They had actually been present all along; they were Han Mengxiao's bodyguards. The two men bowed and asked, "What are your orders, Master?"

"I want you to make sure all the immortals know as quickly as possible that I've changed the names of these two children, and that they are no longer members of the Heavenly Family, but members of the Han Family! Everyone knows the Han Family is fiercely protective of its own, and if anyone dares to call them good-for-nothings again, the Han Family will not let them get away with it!"

"Yes, Master!" As the voice faded, the two disappeared just as quickly as they had appeared.
