Xiao Xun'er's Dictionary of Life

Though Xiao Xun'er looked utterly confident, she still had some doubts in her heart.

So-called "perfect temperament" meant maintaining a rational and calm state of mind in the face of all things.

But being overly rational and calm actually went against human nature.

Xiao Xun'er's life had once been entirely arranged by the Ancient Clan. Everything had gone smoothly for her; she had whatever she wanted.

But put another way, the Ancient Clan had drawn a circle around the range of experiences a person could possibly have, then placed Xiao Xun'er within that circle.

The experiences outside that circle had always been beyond Xiao Xun'er's reach.

While perfect temperament certainly had many drawbacks, for cultivation, maintaining a mind as still as water at all times naturally allowed one's cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds!

That was also the main reason why Xiao Xun'er, even at the age when children loved to play most, could still obediently endure long periods of tedious cultivation.

Rather than saying Xiao Xun'er was sensible, it would be more accurate to say that her bloodline had influenced her mind, enabling her to complete "tasks" that went against a child's nature.

According to the original plan, once her bloodline had fully stabilized, Xiao Xun'er would enter seclusion and cultivate bitterly, relying on the resources supplied by the Ancient Clan to charge all the way to Dou Saint! Unfortunately, every Dou Di Bloodline required a long period of refinement.

During this stage, external help could do very little for Xiao Xun'er.

Gu Yuan might not have been a good father, but he had truly given Xiao Xun'er as much freedom as he could.

He had even argued fiercely with a group of Dou Saint elders at the assembly and forcibly sent Xiao Xun'er to the Northwest Continent!
