Chapter 168: Eliminate the knots in your heart

"Brother, don't you want to save your life with this sachet, how can you leave it to me?" Raising her head and looking at the young man, the girl showed a look of embarrassment, but when the corner of her eyes swept over the box held in her hand, there was a hint of hope.

Girls like the best things, especially this kind of pocket-sized and extremely delicate sachets, how could Xiao Lingxi not want it?

It's just that this sachet is a life-saving thing given to the dragon king by the tribal goddess, so she tries her best to restrain the possession in her heart*. Everything, the safety of the other party is the most important. Without the sachet, Long Jun has less to walk safely. This large clan tribe will be in danger for him.

"Girl, I've already said it, don't worry about me, I have the ability to protect myself. If you like this sachet, just take it, even if my brother takes it as a gift for you, okay?" Opening the box, the young man took out the fragrant and delicate object and handed it to the girl.

"Take it!"

There was a pleasant fragrance in her nose, Xiao Lingxi only felt comfortable, only to see her eyes staring at the sachet, and stretched out her hand with some hesitation: "Brother, are you really okay?"

"Of course not, my strength is enough to protect myself" The young man smiled disapprovingly, and reached out to touch the girl's head, "As long as you girl follow me and have a safe guarantee, I will be relieved." ”

Another important purpose of handing over the sachet to Xiao Lingxi was to ensure her safety. After all, in the Deng family, the status of the two of them is different, Long Jun was invited to enter, and Xiao Lingxi was "gifted", so once the enemy on the Wu family's side can't attack him, he will definitely threaten himself with Xiao Lingxi's safety, which is not what he wants to see.

Affection has always been his weakness, before and after rebirth. It's just that now he has changed a little: he will spare no effort to protect those who have a heart-to-heart relationship with him, and if he calculates against him, he will definitely make the other party pay a terrible price. Betrayal cannot be tolerated.

"Well, then I'll take it," a sweet smile bloomed on her face, and the girl took the sachet from the other party's hand and sniffed it; ”

As she spoke, the girl took two steps forward, and then kissed the young man on the forehead, but she did not wait for the young man to react, and her face was blushing. It's just trotting away.

"This girl. ”

Touching the warmth that still remained on his forehead, the young man looked at the girl's back and smiled.

It's nice to have a younger sister.

......

After returning to his room and practicing for half an hour, Long Jun, at the invitation of Luochen, rushed to the welcome ceremony venue set up for him by the Deng family with Xiao Lingxi and Xi Ran.

The four of them chatted all the way, and it took about a quarter of an hour for them to finally arrive at the "legendary" reception ground.

To put it bluntly, this side of the arena is a ring array, unlike what Ryujun saw in the Tokugawa Daimyo Shogun's Mansion, there is only one ring on this side, but its area is very large, enough to accommodate thousands of people.

"Brother Luochen, what does this mean?" Seeing the ring that was one meter above the ground, Long Jun spoke curiously.

Didn't they welcome him, and why did you bring him to this ring?

"Didn't they tell you, my father?" asked Luochen with a puzzled look at the other party.

Hearing the words, Long Jun shook his head, the five elders only mentioned this welcome ceremony to him, and did not say that they wanted him to go here to fight in the ring.

Looking around, Long Jun could see that the people around him were all young juniors, some of whom were younger than him and some were older than him.

"That's right. Luo Chen frowned when he heard this, it seemed that Long Jun really didn't know the news that the Deng family was going to compete in martial arts.

"Half a month later, the family will hold a tryout, and my father asked me to accompany you here to warm up and prepare for tomorrow's trial. ”

"Then where are your fathers now?" his eyes swept around again, but Long Jun didn't notice the whereabouts of the elders of the clan, so he asked.

The meaning of Luochen's words should be that the elders asked him to come here to prepare for the competition first, and visit the venue first, and these dragon monarchs understood it. But where is the welcome ceremony that the other party said to him?

"Haha, Brother Long, you want to ask the family how to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, right" The other party's words were in his ears, which made Luochen laugh out loud, only to see him pat the other party's shoulder, and said with a smile: "This so-called welcome ceremony is for me to take you to visit the whole picture of our Deng family, not other means." Could it be that Brother Long, did you think of eating?"

"Uh," a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and Long Jun suddenly felt quite embarrassed, it turned out that he had made a mistake and regarded this welcome ceremony as a feast.

"No, how could I think so," barely squeezing out a smile, Long Jun turned away from Luochen's face, and his gaze also turned to other places, "Didn't you say take me to see the whole picture, Brother Luochen, you lead the way." ”

Sometimes the best way to turn into embarrassment is to change the subject.

"Haha, okay, then Brother Long, please come with me!" With a wave of his robe, Luochen smiled, knowing that the other party did not want to be entangled in this matter, he gave Long Jun a step down, took the first step, and walked around.

"This girl, I don't know where to hang out. Looking behind him, but there was no trace of Xiao Lingxi, Long Jun shook his head slightly, and had to follow the footsteps of Luochen and parade around this huge family area.

Anyway, they are in the Deng family at the moment. No matter how bad it is, it will not be life-threatening. Therefore, Long Jun did not go to find Xiao Lingxi, so let her run around.

This girl, don't limit her too much, otherwise it won't be a good thing to lose her nature.

The two of them wandered all the way, saying funny things from time to time, and their footsteps, along with the passage of time, also passed through the ring and the small lake, and gradually moved away from the center of the ring.

"This is our family's common area," Luo Chen introduced with a smile as he walked, and beside him was the Dragon Monarch whose gaze was radiating in all directions.

When he first arrived at this tribe, Long Jun's thoughts were originally the same as Xiao Lingxi's, thinking that it was just a primitive and dilapidated race, but when he walked through this endless family territory at this moment, his heart suddenly brightened.

This tribe, which has been inherited for thousands of years, although it still retains its quaint style, its structure is moving towards modernity, towards the world of cultivators.

This space, full of vitality, is incomparable to the Shenzhou Kingdom, but its architectural style, is much more backward than the Shenzhou Kingdom, according to Xiao Lingxi's words, this kind of family-style design style, at most can only be extrapolated to the Tang Dynasty.

Maybe Xiao Lingxi was still a little dissatisfied with this, but for Long Jun, this kind of quaint atmosphere was exactly what he was used to, and the style of the houses in the Yoyoshi Continent was almost the same as here.

"Very good," his thoughts retracted, and after hearing the words in the dust, Long Jun chuckled, "Is there anything else in your family that is more secret?"

"Hidden place," Luochen's pupils contracted, he didn't expect Long Jun's words to be so abrupt, and he directly asked him such an inconvenient thing.

It must be known that the secret place of the family, except for some important people or specific conditions, no one else can step in. Although Long Jun is said to be a member of the Deng clan, he is an outsider after all, so he asks like this, so he is not afraid of the suspicion in his heart?

Asking about other people's family secrets is absolutely rude. However, when Luochen's eyes looked at Long Jun, the other party didn't seem to care about this, but instead stared at his eyes with a smile. In Long Jun's eyes, there was no intention of backing down at all, and there was a faint strong attitude that he must respond.

"What does he mean by this?" muttered in his heart, and Luochen was a little surprised: according to Long Jun's character, he would not ask him such an abrupt question, but now that he opened his mouth like this, what was the purpose?

"Okay," Luochen looked away from each other's eyes, which was considered a compromise, and only heard him speak: "There are three secret places of our Deng family, one is the tallest building standing in the family, the second is the residence of the patriarchs of the past generations, and the third is the ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors. ”

"I haven't been in any of the other two, except for the third one. The patriarch's residence is only qualified for the elders to enter, and the highest building is said to only be opened once in ten years, as for the third place, the ancestral ancestral hall, I once went in to worship, there is nothing special, it is probably because I am afraid that the ignorant clansmen will go in and destroy the statues of those ancestors, so it is listed as a forbidden place. ”

Luochen explained, and then turned his head to look at the young man beside him, but he didn't know when he had a hand on his shoulder, which was Long Jun's hand.

"Thank you!"

The young man opened his mouth and spat out two words, his eyes smiling. And the knot in his heart was untied at this moment.

The scene of being chased and killed by the Wild Devil during the day, Long Jun had already expected that it was a step set for him by the elders of the clan, but he was a little suspicious of Luochen's helping hand. After three days of getting along, he found that Luochen was not a person who liked to play tricks, and he didn't have so many scheming, so it was very likely that he was also being used.

Therefore, Long Jun deliberately asked the other party about the secret of this family, if Luochen shirked and refused to answer, then it proved that the former had a ghost in his heart and could sell himself for the family; Based on this, Long Jun can also be regarded as a trusted person.

In fact, as Long Jun guessed, as a chess piece, Luo Chen, did not think about the stakes, and he took Long Jun to seek the help of the goddess, which was indeed sincere. The purpose is for the safety of the latter.

It's just that Long Jun was thoughtful, and when he guessed the calculations of the five elders, he brought Luochen in by the way, so there was this temptation.

The heart of defense is indispensable.

"Brother Long is polite," a smile also appeared on Luochen's face, and said:

"Let's look elsewhere. ”(.)
