The old wealthy businessman's upper and lower lips moved, as if he was going to ask again if there was any other way, but Wei Yan's expression was too cold and frightening, so the poor old man's question was frightened back.He looked at the four brocade-clothed young men beside him, and saw that they had no intention of helping, so he shivered and retreated into the cabin.But he forgot for a moment that the bones in the cabin hadn't been cleaned up, and after he realized it, he felt sick again.Fortunately, the old wealthy businessman soon discovered that his son and daughter-in-law had bought another ship not far away, and they and a few surviving servants loaded the remaining treasures on the newly bought ship from the people around them. .When the old wealthy businessman rushed over to join his family, the family fled the place like a refugee.

"Heh..." Knowing in his heart that this old businessman who regards money as his life will not take what he said seriously, Wei Yan just smiled maliciously in a low voice, and he focused on these four things again. "I know that one of you is from the Zuoqiu family and the other is from the Tang family, but the origins of the two of you who use swords are still unclear."

Hearing what he said, Xiao Qiushui couldn't help revealing a look of surprise, he saluted and said: "Junior Xiao Qiuyu, this is Deng Yuhan from the Hainan Sword Sect, these two are Zuoqiu Chaoran and Tang soft."

Wei Yan nodded without changing his face. He didn't show any strangeness because he was facing the sons of the Huanhua Sword Sect and the Hainan Sword Sect. He looked at these four people as if they were four young juniors.This is a very strange thing. After all, Wei Yan got Xiao Qiushui's "senior" because of his advanced martial arts. His real age is about the same as this group of young people, and he may even be a year or two younger.

However, should the honorific title of "senior" really depend entirely on the length of time in the arena?If a person has experienced the collapse of the school, the country's precariousness, hesitation, reverence, hatred, loneliness in just 24 years... even this person has experienced strange things that many people have never heard of.Is such a person qualified to be called "senior"?

The man in black was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Are you going to watch the dragon boat game?"

Dragon boats are used for competitions and to commemorate the sages, so how can they be used for "gambling"?However, people have ruined many things over the years. Compared with those rituals, righteousness and shame, the destruction of the meaning contained in this commemorative event is really just a trivial matter.

Inexplicably, Xiao Qiuyu and the others continued their original plan to see the dragon boat, but there was an extra Wei Yan.Unless it was really necessary, even Yue Fei would never think of Wei Yan, and no one would choose him for such things as "chatting".However, Xiao Qiushui, a young man who is still enthusiastic about most things, has extraordinary tenacity and affinity. He kept chatting with Wei Yan on the way, wanting to know that this martial arts is better than that of King Zhu Datian. Go-getters so many masters of the rivers and lakes.Maybe he was a bit cautious at the beginning, but after finding that Wei Yan had no tendency to get angry, he gradually became a bit bolder, and his demeanor was not as restrained as it was at the beginning.

Wei Yan couldn't appreciate this young man so easily, but he also understood why he has so many friends.

Unfortunately……

"I don't really like making friends with others." Wei Yan said coolly while watching the dragon boat.

Xiao Qiushui let out a soft "Huh" and did not get angry, but said curiously, "But everyone needs friends."

"A friend is like a lover. If the most suitable one doesn't appear, then it's better to lack it." Wei Yan expounded his opinion, "There are too few people who meet my standards."

"There are also standards for making friends?" Xiao Qiushui asked curiously, "Do you still have to stipulate the height, fat, and thinness of your friends? Isn't the four words like-minded enough?"

"Isn't like-mindedness the standard?" Wei Yan retorted, "Everyone has a set of standards for friends, but mine is more cumbersome."

"What kind of standard is it?" This time it was Tang Rou who asked the question, with a curious look on his young face.

"First, I don't make friends with people I meet frequently." Wei Yan got the astonished expressions of the four young people as soon as he said this, "The intimacy with friends should lie in the spirit. The first result is the outbreak of conflict, and the second is that the relationship has risen to family affection. Losing a friend will feel melancholy, but losing a relative is grief, and I am unwilling to bear this kind of pain."

"If there is first, there will be second and third."

Wei Yan nodded, and continued, "Second, I don't make friends with people who are too weak. Such friends always need my help. After a long time, there will be two results. One is that he gets used to it. Naturally, he will become the kind of person I hate the most who takes everything for granted; the second is that he will not appreciate it, treat my help as a charity, and even germinate malice."

Such a conclusion is incomprehensible to young people like Xiao Qiushui. They may believe in repaying grievances with kindness, but it is hard to believe that retribution for kindness with grievances can also happen among friends.The four young men's eyes widened, waiting for Wei Yan's "third"

"Third, I don't make friends with people who have family and friends."

Live up to their expectations, this one is really the weirdest one.

"What's the reason for this?" Tang Rou couldn't figure it out. If he could guess the reasons for the first two rules, Wei Yan's third rule was simply unimaginable.

However, Wei Yan thinks it is easy to understand, "If your enemy captures your friend's relatives or other friends to threaten him to attack you, do you think he will do this? Even if you escaped by chance , will you still be friends in the future?"

"This..." Xiao Qiushui couldn't think of a suitable description for a long time, but Deng Yuhan who was beside him spoke his mind, "It seems that you are unlikely to have friends in this life!"

Wei Yan smiled indifferently. Although there was no malice in his eyes, there was a bit of mystery in his eyes.

"Maybe one day, you'll think I'm right." He said softly, "Or, at least for a moment, you'll think I'm right."

Fortunately, the dragon boat race officially started broke the slightly stiff awkward atmosphere.

Wei Yan turned his head and looked at the ten dragon boats painted in different colors competing in the monstrous river, just like this chaotic world, ups and downs, who is hiding their strength, who is confident, no one knows.

And besides the competition on the stage, the competition off the stage is also surging.

Whether it's someone who has placed a bet, or just came to see the fun like Xiao Qiushui and the others, whether it's a frail scholar, a strong laborer, or even a lady who doesn't go out too much, they all shouted excitedly, hoping that what they Cheer up with your favorite color and cross the finish line.This kind of crazy joy is not difficult to understand. After all, since Jingkang, the people of Song Dynasty have had too little joy.

Among the jubilant crowd, Wei Yan was the only one who watched the river quietly, this tranquility was incompatible with the surroundings.He seemed to have seen through something, and a mockery flickered in his eyes from time to time, with his hands folded in his sleeves, waiting for the next development.

Suddenly, the leading green boat and purple boat suddenly lacked stamina, abruptly slowed down before the finish line, and were easily overtaken by the blue boat behind them. The ship with high hopes lost the race.

The people here are probably not used to acting, and this "win or lose" is really ridiculously fake.

The loser angrily cursed the boatman who gave up at the last moment, threw the betting coupons all over the floor and left.

However, Xiao Qiushui didn't leave, because he saw the tears of the green boat boatman, such a man who lives on the river doesn't cry easily, so he walked towards him, Tang Rou followed closely behind him.

Wei Yan did not go with them.

He looked at the two warm-hearted young men comforting the middle-aged man, and at the other two martial arts rookies walking towards them, and suddenly felt a subtle emotion.

He couldn't help but wonder how Wuqing looked at her when he knew her adventure in the moonlight of Shenhou Mansion back then.

Is it like this too?With three points of disapproval, five points of concern, one point of doubt and one point of expectation?

However, his situation was different from that miraculous young master after all.

Wei Yan looked at it for a while, then left.

Just now she killed Xue Jinying, Zhan Qili and Fu Yongxiang, and she has already gotten into trouble with Twelve Lianhuanwu.It can be said that half of his guarantee to Mrs. Tang has been completed.

Since there are still people from the Power Gang here... let's solve it together.
