Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin sat down again, and Ren Yaoqi also took a seat. Just then, he saw Young Master Yun, who was about to come down from the platform, being stopped by Wu Yiyu, who was disguised as a man. Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but look away, pretending he hadn't seen anything. Brick looked toward the river.

The large boat also began to move, but its speed was much slower than the dragon boat in front, lagging far behind. As the boat moved, the slightly warm breeze on the river, carrying moisture, became more noticeable, making people feel very comfortable.

Seeing Ren Yaoqi watching intently, Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Who won?"

The distance between the dragon boat and the large ship had widened. Even though Ren Yaoqi tried to see, it was still difficult to see. Just as he was about to shake his head, Xiao Jinglin said, "Right now, the second place is the Lei family and the Su family, and the third is the Yun family."

"The Lei family also has a boat?" Ren Yaoqi was stunned.

She didn't mean to disparage the Lei family by asking this. Although the Ren family, whose main branch wasn't in Yunyang City, only symbolically shared a dragon boat with other families, the Han family, though invited by the Su family to organize the dragon boat race, had only been in Yanzhou for less than a year and hadn't had time to prepare their own boat, they also shared a boat with a family surnamed Li.

Although she had never seen a dragon boat race before, she knew that the people of Yanbei were very particular about their dragon boats. Many procedures were required before the boats were officially launched, and it would take at least a year or two before they were actually launched. That was why she was so surprised.

Xiao Jingxi glanced at Ren Yaoqi and smiled, "The reason Yanbei's dragon boats are so complicated to make is because the process of making the dragon head is so complex. Although the body of each family's dragon boat is kept at the City God Temple outside the city, the dragon head is kept by each family. The Lei family took the dragon head with them when they migrated south, and it has been well maintained over the past few decades, so it can be launched this year."

Ren Yaoqi was startled when he heard this, and glanced at Xiao Jingxi, only to meet his dark, smiling eyes. The ripples on the river seemed to be reflected in his eyes, which could be blinding if you looked at them for too long.

Ren Yaoqi subconsciously shifted her gaze to the window, but immediately sensed something was amiss. She subconsciously tilted her head slightly, her gaze fixed on the river. The sound of drums outside approached, and the dozen or so dragon boats returned.

Suddenly, Ren Yaoqi realized something was wrong. The Lei family had fled south, so they had to take their ancestral tablets and family treasures with them. But why did they also take the dragon head for the dragon boat race? You know, this thing is really heavy and bulky. I'm afraid they would need a carriage to transport it.

I always feel that the Lei family is trying to prove something by taking out the dragon head at this time. What is it to prove? To prove that their family is the legitimate heirloom?

Ren Yaoqi felt that it looked a bit pretentious.

"This Lei family... is quite powerful." Xiao Jinglin's voice drew Ren Yaoqi's attention.

Upon hearing this, Ren Yaoqi subconsciously looked at Xiao Jingxi. Xiao Jingxi looked out the window with a smile on his face. At this time, the dozen or so dragon boats just came into their sight. In addition to the dragon boat with the temperament of Yanbei Palace leading the way, there were three other dragon boats behind it chasing each other, and the situation was stalemate.

Ren Yaoqi didn't know why, but something clicked in his mind, and he subconsciously said, "You want to use the Lei family?"
