Then it was Wang Shida's turn to ceremoniously greet Wang Shouzhe: "Shida pays respects to Fourth Grandfather Shouzhe."
In reality, Wang Shida was older than Shouzhe by three or four decades, and his cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of the Celestial Human Realm. But alas, Shouzhe's seniority was higher.
No matter the age of those in the "Shi" generation, they had to call those in the "Shou" generation grandfather.
Generally, one would call them by their rank, such as Second Grandfather or Third Grandfather, but in cases where the same clan differs in inheritance lines and is uncertain of rank, a title like "Grandfather Shouzhe" isn't incorrect.
"No need for formality, Shida, given your age difference from me, just call me Shouzhe," Wang Shouzhe quickly helped him up, saying.
"Fourth Grandfather, please do not disparage Shida in such a way." Wang Shida was so terrified his face turned white, and he hastily stood straight with a deep bow to refuse.
