Chapter 516: Encounter
When the children of the Great Yan family reach a certain age or cultivation, they will be arranged by the elders to travel.
Reading thousands of books will never be as good as traveling thousands of miles, and the caged bird who stays at home cannot control the family, and the experience and insight when traveling the world will become a precious wealth after the next generation takes power.
In addition, it is also a common way for the family to expand their connections, and they make friends in times of distress along the way, some of which will give back to the family in the form of connections ten or even decades later.
Over the years, this custom has even become a custom, but this traveling custom does not include children who are unable to practice, especially women.
There are too many accidents in the world, and without cultivation, these heirs are destined to have no ability to protect themselves when accidents occur.
The second is because of the bloodline.
Chromophobia also.
When traveling, most of the heirs of the family are in the age of the beginning of love, and the senior management of the family has experienced that time, so they do not exclude the occurrence of this phenomenon.
But the problem is that the target you are engaging in must at least be a cultivator.
The difference between immortals and immortals is not just talking.
It's a mindset shift that you can't understand until you have experienced it.
The vast majority of the friends that the heirs with cultivation choose to make are cultivators, but the mortal heirs are completely different, and there have been too many mortal heirs who have fallen in love with some strange people for various reasons in the past records.
widows, wives, prostitutes, rangers, reckless men, merchants, etc., etc.
Women are more disadvantaged than men.
Because even if male heirs fall in love with mortals, at least they won't return to the mansion with a big belly.
Illegitimate children will always be a scandal that disgraces the family for the family, these people come to the door with their children, to raise or not to raise?
More critically,
What if this proportion of the heirs born to mortals is too high, and the family's cultivation bloodline is muddy?
A large part of the power of the family is rooted in the generation of strong people who have cultivated to a high level, and if there is no talented and intelligent next generation for a long time, the family will inevitably decline step by step.
This is the lesson that the family has explored in the lessons of generations, and it is also the iron law that the family wants to continue from generation to generation.
And the dragon mind is such a child of a family.
She is of saint blood, but she is born a waste.
She won the jackpot like Xu Yuan, and she couldn't stay idle like Xu Yuan.
She longs for freedom and a wonderful world outside her home.
But compared to the extremely relaxed family environment of Xiangguo Mansion, the dragon soul can only look at the sky outside through the thin iron fence like a caged bird, and the strict tutoring of the Long family in the capital firmly confined her to the Long family mansion.
But the only thing to be thankful for is that Long Xinxin, like Xu Yuan, has a big brother who loves her very much.
On her sixteenth birthday, with the help of her eldest brother, the free-spirited dragon escaped from the cage that had imprisoned her for sixteen years for the first time without telling her elders.
It was also at that time that Long Xinxin met Lou Ji, who was only twelve years old, in the splendid age of sixteen.
Dried blood can often be seen on the brown soil of the black alley, and most of the neighborhood is a mixture of blood and excrement, which is very dirty and smelly.
But the dragon mind didn't care, she was curious about everything new around her, and her eyes flickered and jumped in the crowd.
When street vendors fight over a few pieces of copper, she clapps her hands and applauds.
When she sees a drunk lying on the side of the street, she will pinch her nose and poke her finger to see if the other person is dead.
When she saw a snack that she had never eaten before, she would go straight to the street food with a large amount of money to buy it that was only worth a few cents.
Her gorgeous clothes and clear and stupid eyes naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Among them is Lou Ji who is passing by.
When the dragon soul was swaggering through the city on the most prosperous street in the black alley, Lou Ji passed by him in a black tight body.
However, Lou Ji's attention only flashed on the dragon's mind.
Let go of the plot of helping others and respect the fate of others.
She had seen the darkness of the dark alleys swallow up some of the rich and noble children who came to her, and if it had been three years ago, she might have put her mind on this eldest lady who was obviously not deeply involved in the world, but now with the help of the old man, she didn't need any of this.
But it's a pity that although Lou Ji let go of the dragon mind, the dragon mind did not let her go.
After seeing Lou Ji passing by, this curious baby immediately showed a touch of curiosity, and said that he wanted to stop her, but when he saw that she shouldn't, he ran a few steps and reached out to grab the girl with an indifferent expression.
There is no other reason.
Because this is a society that looks at faces, and Lou Ji is good-looking.
The kind of beauty that can be glanced at in the crowd and can be suddenly looked back.
Her temperament and appearance are out of place with the dirty black alley, so the dragon is curious.
Obviously, the first encounter that comes this way is not friendly.
The dragon's heart is like a bouncing chick, and Xiao Lou Ji is like an indifferent black cat, her slender wrist is pulled, but her gaze is so flat that it seems to have no emotion.
Under Xiao Lou Ji's gaze, the dragon's heart became a little nervous, and he stumbled and asked a few idiot questions such as where is your house, so that Xiao Lou Ji thought that this eldest lady was not in a normal mind.
Out of pity, Xiao Lou Ji kindly reminded her after listening to the question of the dragon's heart in silence.
Let her not show her wealth in the black alley, and then hurry home, the black alley is not the place where a big lady like her should come.
As she said this, she casually glanced around her at the outlaws who were already ready to move.
As far as the eye can see, they have avoided it.
The three years she worked under the old man gave her a twelve-year-old girl a lot of fame in the dark alleys.
It's just that what Xiao Lou Ji didn't expect was that her kind reminder didn't seem to play a warning role, but made the eldest lady completely let down her guard and turned on some kind of switch.
All the way, all the way to her ear chattering.
For the dragon mind, this cold little girl is mysterious.
And mystery means that she is curious.
In the noise that followed all the way, Xiao Lou Ji silently walked to the entrance of the black alley, and then said the second sentence since they met, and the last sentence of the first meeting.
Get out of the alley and go home.
Then, Xiao Lou Ji quietly disappeared into the crowd of people in the black alley in the stunned mind of the dragon.
At that time, Lou Ji really didn't expect that this annoying eldest lady would appear the next day where they met yesterday.
Long Mind directly sold a stall there.
Sitting at the back of the stall, she didn't care about the attention of the people around her, holding her cheeks, and scanning the crowd around her with bored eyes.
It was this moment of stunned dazedness, which made the eyes of the two look at each other in the sea of people for a moment.
The dragon's eyes were excited.
Lou Ji had a cold little face, turned around and left, ignoring the excited shouts behind her.
This was the end of the second encounter.
In the following period, Lou Ji changed the route home for this purpose.
It was also because of this change that the third encounter between Lou Ji and the dragon's mind took place in the spacious courtyard in the deepest part of the black alley.
