"Uncle, how did you get here?!"
Seeing Li Xingnian suddenly appear before her, Daohua's face lit up with surprise and joy.
Li Xingnian laughed and glared at his niece, "What, you're not welcoming me?"
Daohua quickly came forward to greet him, her face bright with a smile, "Not at all, I was just too astonished. I really didn't expect you, Uncle, to come over."
She then smiled at Li Chenzhi, who stood behind Li Xingnian, and gave a small bow, "Third cousin."
Li Chenzhi returned the greeting with a smile, "Yiyi."
"Uncle, third cousin, please take a seat!"
Daohua helped Li Xingnian sit down. "This journey must have been exhausting, right?"
Li Xingnian nodded, "The roads in Xiliang are too difficult to travel, and there are so few inns. I've always thought I was in good health, but even I found it hard to cope this time."
