This young woman named 'Diwu Yun' wasn't very beautiful. Her facial features weren't exquisite, and there were some freckles on her cheeks. However, because of these freckles, she seemed to have been tempered by time. Combined with her gentle voice, she seemed gentle and natural. Wang Yan couldn't help but have a good impression of her.
"Greetings, Miss Diwu. I am Wang Yan. I happened to pass by this place, and I felt that this place was like a paradise. I couldn't help but yearn for it. I would like to stay here for a few days. Is that okay?"
In front of a beautiful woman, Wang Yan went straight to the point. However, Diwu Yun covered her mouth and smiled, "Brother Wang, my surname is' Diwu '."
Huh?
Wang Yan suddenly felt like his brain had crashed. He had never heard such a strange surname before. He didn't know how to respond. Diwu Yun looked at Wang Yan's startled face and said, "'Diwu Yan Fu, the end of the hundred family names'. This is the last sentence of the 《Hundred Family Names》. 'Diwu' is also the last surname in the hundred family names. Maybe Brother Wang doesn't care about this. If Brother Wang thinks it's a bit awkward, you can just call me by my name."
Hearing Diwu Yun's straightforward words, Wang Yan smiled to ease the awkwardness. He really didn't know what the 'hundred family names' was. Therefore, he bowed to Diwu Yun and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Wang Yan has learned a lot."
Because Wang Yan's left arm was injured, his bowing movements were a bit strange. This naturally fell into Diwu Yun's eyes. She was soft on the outside but tough on the inside. She didn't ignore Wang Yan's politeness at all. She faintly smiled and said, "Brother Wang, this place is remote and hard to find. It's hard to find strangers here. Plus, the world is murky right now. I'm sure you've seen how the villagers are afraid of outsiders. But if you really happened to pass by, it's not a problem for you to stay here for a few days, but you didn't tell me the truth, did you? "
As she spoke, Diwu Yun looked at Wang Yan's left arm. Wang Yan immediately knew that this woman had seen through his injury and knew that he was hiding something. His face couldn't help but blush as he said apologetically, "Just as Miss Diwu guessed, Wang Yan encountered danger and came here by chance …"
Looking at Diwu Yun's clear eyes, Wang Yan told her about his assassination attempt on Kang Jianmin. However, he wouldn't tell her about the secrets. When he talked about how he saw Chen Wenyuan appear and knew that he couldn't do anything, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy next to Diwu Yun sneered, "This big brother looks like a hero, but he's such a coward. If it was me, even if I knew I couldn't defeat him, I would still risk my life to kill Kang Jianmin and Chen Wenyuan. Isn't this what Sister Yun meant by sacrificing oneself for a righteous cause?"
Being reprimanded by a teenager like this, Wang Yan felt like his face was burning. Fortunately, as soon as the teenager finished speaking, a young girl with two braids next to him retorted, "Even if you risk your life, can you kill Kang Jianmin and Chen Wenyuan? Knowing that you can't do something, but doing it is not sacrificing oneself for a righteous cause, it's the behavior of a reckless man. I think this big brother is right. Just like what Sister Yun said, some things need to be done if you know that you can't do it, so that you can do more useful things in the future. "
This young girl looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her words were clear. As soon as she finished speaking, the teenagers next to Diwu Yun all began to speak at once. Some supported the teenager, some supported the teenager, and some supported the young girl.
"I've let Brother Wang see a joke. These children have been following me for more than half a year. Besides teaching them how to read, write, and practice martial arts, Diwu Yun also taught them some things from the Hundred Schools of Thought so that they can think about how to be a person.
However, in this world of swords and sabers, they naturally yearn for the martial arts world. Because everyone understands different things, they have different chivalry in their hearts. For example, Li Mo only wants to clear up all the injustices in the world, and he can't stand a single grain of sand in his eyes. On the other hand, Bai Moli will only do what she can. A gentleman doesn't stand under a collapsing wall, but she has thought it through.
Therefore, these children usually quarrel with each other for the chivalry in their hearts. If they offended Brother Wang with their words today, Diwu Yun will apologize on their behalf. "
Diwu Yun's voice was very gentle. When she mentioned the names Li Mo and Bai Moli, she pointed at the teenager and the teenager. After she finished speaking, she smiled apologetically at Wang Yan and bowed slightly. Her words and actions were not inappropriate, but Wang Yan slightly frowned.
"Miss Diwu, why are you staying in this small mountain village? Why aren't you like other people who wander around the martial arts world, looking for treasures, or settling grudges?"
Wang Yan suddenly changed the topic. Diwu Yun didn't know why Wang Yan would ask this, but she smiled and replied, "Everyone has their own martial arts world in their heart. For me, these children are my martial arts world. In other words, everyone has a different way of playing a game. Some people are willing to spend a lot of money in this world just to chase after fame; some people work hard just to earn some money; and some people just want to learn peerless martial arts and experience the thrill of being invincible in the world.
For me, in this world that belongs to swords and sabers, I take care of these children, teach them knowledge and martial arts, and watch them grow up to roam the martial arts world. This is my greatest pleasure, the pleasure of nurturing a game. "
Nurturing a game?
Wang Yan didn't understand what this meant, but he was 100% sure that Diwu Yun was a player. He couldn't help but ask, "If nurturing a game is to control a person's fate, will Miss Diwu protect them? Just like Li Mo, the chivalry in his heart has been deeply bound by the so-called benevolence and righteousness, but he doesn't know the existence of a group of players. In the face of players who can resurrect from the dead and are extremely greedy and persistent for experience and treasures, the chivalry in his heart will only make him die faster. The players will have thousands of ways to kill him, and it will be as easy as cutting chives in the field.
In this kind of reality, before you have a strong ability to protect yourself, don't you think it is a bit extravagant for Miss Diwu to talk about chivalry? Is your pleasure to nurture a bunch of experience monsters for others to harvest? "
Wang Yan suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person. Not only was his words sharp, but they were also very aggressive. Wang Yan didn't know why he suddenly became like this. If he had to find a reason, perhaps it was because of the 'sympathy' that Master Po mentioned: sympathy for the weak is human nature.
Then did he also have a trace of humanity? Wang Yan didn't know, and he couldn't understand. He only knew that if these children lived in this remote little village, they might be safe for the rest of their lives. But once they stepped into the world of martial arts, just the players alone would be like sharks that smelled blood. Not to mention, the dangers that people face in the world of martial arts are far more than just the players.
Diwu Yun didn't expect Wang Yan to talk about this at all, and in such a deep and thorough manner. It was as if a beautiful bubble had been gently poked. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the group of children behind her, and her eyes revealed a deep affection.
"Brother Wang, can you teach me?"
Diwu Yun turned around, took a deep breath, and then bowed deeply to Wang Yan. However, Wang Yan didn't accept her bow, because Wang Yan didn't deserve it! Therefore, Wang Yan tapped his feet, floated to the side, and said calmly, "Just like you said, this is a world that belongs to swords and knives. Swords and knives are the foundation, but if you want to become strong enough to protect yourself, it is very difficult. Who can help you?"
In Wang Yan's heart, players were like natural enemies. If he didn't want to become the players' hunting target, he had to at least have the cultivation and skills of Miss Four. But to reach Miss Four's level, not to mention the time and effort needed, just the high level manuals required, where could Diwu Yun, who was in this little village, find them? Wang Yan could see that Diwu Yun's cultivation wasn't very high. At most, she had opened eight meridians, and she didn't have any foundation under her feet. Her footsteps were very light, and it was clear that her qinggong was very sloppy. How could she teach these children martial arts?
After saying this, Wang Yan couldn't help but turn around and leave. It wasn't that he didn't like Diwu Yun, it was the exact opposite. Diwu Yun was the first player he saw who was kind and willing to interact with NPCs. Although she said that it was just for fun, when she looked at Li Mo, Bai Moli, and the other children, her eyes were filled with love. This made Wang Yan understand how deep this girl's feelings for these children were. This made Wang Yan's impression of Diwu Yun increase, but it was because of this that he had to leave.
It wasn't that Wang Yan didn't have feelings, but he knew that Diwu Yun and her children were not destined to have a good ending. Jiang Hu was an extremely cruel place, and all beautiful dreams would eventually be shattered. Therefore, Wang Yan didn't dare to have any connection with Diwu Yun or these children. He knew that once there was a connection, there would be feelings in his heart, and he wouldn't be able to control himself. Just like Treasure Master, if one day, the two of them had no choice but to face each other with their swords, even if Wang Yan knew that Treasure Master would not truly die, his sword would not be as fast as usual, nor would it be as merciless as usual.
Wang Yan, who already had his first flaw, didn't want to have a second one. This was because he knew that it wasn't easy for him to survive and become stronger. Just like Gao Li, if Chen Wenyuan didn't appear, Wang Yan was sure that Gao Li would attack him mercilessly! Because Gao Li was suspicious of his identity, players would do anything for experience and treasures. This was the reality that weak NPCs had to face! Wang Yan couldn't even protect himself, and he didn't know where his future was. How could he help Diwu Yun and these children who hadn't even reached the Pulse Opening Stage?
Wang Yan chose to turn around and leave, but before he could take a step, Diwu Yun rushed up and pulled on Wang Yan's sleeve, "Brother Wang, help me. I don't care about the others, but Li Mo, Bai Moli, An Guo, and Xiao Douzi are really different. They can think for themselves, and they can even plan for the future. They have feelings, and they even have souls. I can't watch them become someone else's experience.
If you're willing to stay and teach these children martial arts, I can't repay you, so I'm willing to give you this item. Also, I'm a beginner in medicine, so I can help you treat the injury on your arm. "
Wang Yan wasn't a heartless person. He turned around to look at Diwu Yun and saw that Diwu Yun was looking at him with a burning gaze. Diwu Yun's eyes were filled with tears, and she was holding a piece of yellow paper. Wang Yan glanced at the paper and couldn't move his eyes away. It was probably because there was a sword technique drawn on the paper. It was a sword technique that Wang Yan felt was far more profound than the Yuanying Sword Technique.
"This is a remnant of a sword technique that I chanced upon when I was roaming the Jianghu. Although there is only one sword technique recorded in it, the comprehension required is as high as 60 points. I believe that this sword technique must be extremely profound, but it is a pity that my comprehension is far inferior. If Brother Wang is willing to help, I am willing to give this remnant of the sword technique to Brother Wang."
