Fairy, Please Let Me Explain - #544 - Chapter 517 Encounter
When the children of Dayan’s aristocratic family reach a certain age or level of cultivation, they will be arranged by their elders to travel.
Reading thousands of books will never be as good as traveling thousands of miles. A caged bird without leaving home cannot control the family. The experience and knowledge gained while traveling around the world will become the precious wealth of the next generation when they take power.
Moreover, traveling by descendants is also a common way for aristocratic families to expand their connections. During their travels, they will make friends who are in need, and some of them will return to the family in the form of connections ten or even decades later.
In the past long years, this habit 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. Without cultivation, these heirs are destined to have no ability to protect themselves when accidents happen.
The second reason is because of bloodline.
Food and sex.
When traveling, most of the heirs of the aristocratic families were at the age when they were first in love. The senior officials of the aristocratic families have all experienced those years, so they do not exclude the occurrence of this phenomenon.
But the problem is that the person you are dating must at least be a cultivator.
The difference between immortals and mortals is not just talk.
This is a change in perspective that you can never understand unless you have experienced it.
Most of the friends that descendants with cultivation base choose to make are cultivators, while mortal descendants are completely different. In past records, there are too many mortal descendants who fell in love with some strange people for various reasons.
Widows, wives, prostitutes, knight-errants, reckless men, merchants, and so on.
Compared with men, women are more vulnerable.
Because even if the male offspring falls in love with a mortal, at least they will not return to the mansion with a big belly.
Illegitimate children are always a scandal that brings shame to aristocratic families. These people come to the door with their children. Should they raise them or not?
More importantly,
What should we do if the ratio of children born to mortals is too high and muddies the family’s spiritual lineage?
A large part of the power of an aristocratic family is rooted in the generations of strong men with advanced cultivation. If no talented next generation is born for a long time, the family will inevitably decline step by step.
This is the experience and lesson learned by the aristocratic family from generation to generation, and it is also the iron law that the aristocratic family wants to continue from generation to generation.
And Long Xingxin is a child of such a family.
She is of saint blood, but was born with a useless body.
Like Xu Yuan, she won the big prize, and like Xu Yuan, she couldn’t sit still.
She longs for freedom and the wonderful world outside her home.
But compared to the extremely relaxed family environment of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Long’s mind could only look at the sky outside through the thin iron bars like a bird in a cage. The strict tutoring of the Long family in the capital firmly restricted her to Long. Within the family residence.
But the only good thing is that Long Xinxin, like Xu Yuan, has a big brother who loves and protects her.
On her sixteenth birthday, with the help of her eldest brother, Long Xinxin, who was born to be extravagant, 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, at the glorious age of sixteen.
Dried blood can often be seen on the brown soil in the black alleys. Most of the blocks are mixed with blood and excrement, which is very dirty and smelly.
But Long Xinxin didn’t care. She was curious about all the new things around her, and jumped around in the crowd with flashing eyes.
When street vendors got into fights over a few coins, she would stand by and clap her hands.
When she saw a drunk lying on the street, she would hold his nose and poke it with her fingers to see if he was dead.
When she sees snacks she has never eaten before, she will directly pay a large amount of money to buy street snacks worth only a few yuan.
Her gorgeous clothes and clear and silly eyes naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Among them was Lou Ji who was passing by.
When Long Xinxin was strutting through the city in the most prosperous neighborhood of Black Alley, Lou Ji passed by him wearing a tight black suit.
However, Lou Ji’s attention was only fleetingly focused on Long Xinxin.
Let go of the need to help others and respect the fate of others.
She had seen the darkness of the dark alley devouring some wealthy young people who came here because of their reputation. If it had been three years ago, she might have set her mind on this young lady who was obviously inexperienced in the world, but now she has the old man’s That’s not what’s needed to help her.
But it is a pity that although Lou Ji let Long Xinxin go, Long Xinxin did not let her go.
When the curious baby saw Lou Ji passing by, he immediately showed curiosity and wanted to call her out. When she didn’t respond, he ran a few steps and reached out to hold the indifferent girl.
There is no other reason.
Because this is a society that values looks, and Lou Ji is good-looking.
The kind of beauty that makes you look back suddenly after just one glance in the crowd.
Her temperament and appearance were incompatible with the dirty alleys, so Long was curious.
Obviously, the first encounter in this way is not considered friendly.
Long Xinxin was like a jumping baby bird, while little Lou Ji was like an indifferent black cat. Her slender wrist was pulled, but her gaze back was as dull as if she had no emotion.
Under the gaze of Little Lou Ji, Long became a little nervous. He stumbled and asked a few idiotic questions such as where is your home, so that Little Lou Ji thought that this eldest lady was not normal.
Out of pity, Xiao Louji reminded her kindly after listening to Long’s spiritual question in silence.
Tell her not to show off her wealth in the dark alley, and then go home quickly. The dark alley is not the place for a young lady like her.
When she said this, she glanced at the desperadoes around her who were already ready to make a move.
Everyone in their sight gave way.
The three years of working under that old man gave her, a twelve-year-old girl, quite a bad reputation in the dark alley.
But what little Lou Ji didn’t expect was that her kind reminder didn’t seem to serve as a warning, but made the young lady completely let down her guard and turn on some kind of switch.
Along the way, he kept chattering in her ears.
To Long Xin, this cold little girl is very mysterious.
And mystery means that she is curious.
Amidst the noise that followed them all the way, Little Lou Ji walked silently to the entrance of the dark alley, and then uttered the second words since they met, and the last words of the first meeting.
Leave the dark alley and go home.
Then, little Lou Ji quietly disappeared among the crowd in the dark alley in Long Zhen’s daze.
At that time, Lou Ji really didn’t expect that this annoying young lady would appear at the place where they met yesterday the next day.
Long Xinxin directly sold a stall there.
Sitting behind the stall, she didn’t care about the attention paid to her by the people around her. She cupped her cheeks and glanced around at the crowd with bored eyes.
It was this moment of confusion that made the two of them look at each other in the sea of people.
Long Xinxin looked excited.
Lou Ji turned around and left with a cold face, ignoring the excited shouts behind her.
This is how the second encounter ended.
After a period of time, Lou Ji changed her route home specifically for this purpose.
It was also because of this change that the third encounter between Lou Ji and Long Zhenxin took place in the spacious house at the deepest part of the dark alley.
