The Return Of The God Level Assassin

SU YUQI closed her Status Window and once again couldnʼt help but chuckle remembering her conversation with Shen Ji Yun. A ʼone-sided dateʼ huh? It seemed that their captain was truly and undeniably whipped.

She had long noticed how differently Shen Ji Yun treated Luo Yan. He was much gentler, more patient, and very attentive towards him. When they were all inside a room, his eyes would automatically attach to Luo Yan. A little bit of expression could even be seen on that expressionless face. Anyone who had known him long enough would see how special Luo Yan was to him.

Well, probably not anyone. That idiot Bai Ze obviously hadnʼt notice anything. And to think he and Shen Ji Yun grew up together. That guyʼs obliviousness was truly astounding. But then again, maybe the fact that his best friend would be interested in his cousin of the same gender never really entered his mind. Thatʼs why his brain just made an automatic filter. Ignoring all the clues presented to him.

In this way, Luo Jin was a lot better. Su Yuqi glanced at the gnome standing behind him. Just looked at that super annoyed face. He looked like he would explode at any second. Like a cat with all its hairs up. How cute.

She wasnʼt sure if he also knew about Shen Ji Yunʼs feelings for his brother. But one thingʼs for sure, he certainly felt some kind of crisis – like how someone was trying to steal his dear older brother - thatʼs why heʼs very antagonistic towards their captain. She must say, what great instinct.

Truthfully, Su Yuqi also didnʼt think that Shen Ji Yunʼs feelings for Luo Yan was actually that kind of romantic feelings. At most, she thought it might just be a simple admiration. But after that exchange of messages she just had with Shen Ji Yun, she was certain that the other had already fallen so deep, he probably had no chance of ever getting out. Maybe he even had no plans to.

She was not surprised knowing that. She also wouldnʼt judge him for falling for someone of the same gender. Heck, even if he fell for a cat, she still wouldnʼt do that. Because what did it have to do with their friendship? Besides, she believed in Shen Ji Yunʼs taste. Surely, he wouldnʼt fall for some human trash.

And as she thought, his choice was indeed not bad. In fact, itʼs a great choice. Luo Yan was pretty, smart, fun to be with, had a great sense of humor, and kind when needed. In fact, if that was her type, she would probably fall for him too.

Luo Yanʼs character was a great complement to Shen Ji Yunʼs. Like day and night or like peanut butter and jelly. Heʼd be a good influence to that expressionless guy. So, who was she to interfere with that?

So, she would do her best to help them this time. And she was kind of looking forward to what Shen Ji Yun would give her for her efforts.

”Su Yuqi, what are you still standing there for?” Bai Zeʼs voice cut through her line of thought. ”Itʼs our turn.”

Su Yuqi looked up and saw that it was already their turn to pay for the entrance fee. She walked forward, already thinking of a lot of ways to make sure they wouldnʼt interfere with Shen Ji Yun and Luo Yanʼs ʼone-sided dateʼ.

Luo Yan finally arrived at the dining cart area. He immediately saw Shen Ji Yun standing at the corner, away from other players who were also there. He seemed to be contemplating something.

He walked towards his direction and when he was in front of the other, he asked, ”Brother Ji Yun, whatʼs wrong? Did you find any important clue?”

Shen Ji Yun, who was at that point, seemed to be still thinking about something finally returned to his senses. He gazed down at Luo Yan who was staring worriedly at him.

He tried to smile and said, ”No, I havenʼt.”

[I just found out that your brother was trying to sabotage our date.] Of course, he wouldnʼt mention that to Luo Yan. If he knew that the other three members of their team were also here, he might even suggest that they went together with them. How could Shen Ji Yun let that happen?

So, he just added, ”How about you, did you find anything?”

”Actually, yes.”

Then Luo Yan proceeded on telling Shen Ji Yun the things that he discovered, as well as the things he just realized. Like how Lhoris disguised himself and was probably using a different name to introduce himself to the other employees of the amusement park. And also, about those diamond-like eyes of his.

Shen Ji Yun was forced to switch his focus back to their task. ”Itʼs very likely that he had been doing menial jobs here in Tropical Land that didnʼt need for him to interact much with others. Like being a dishwasher. Just so he could avoid any unwarranted attention. If that was the case, we should probably focus our attention more on those NPCs that worked the same jobs.”

”I agree as well,” Luo Yan said. ”We should also probably take into account that thing about his eyes. It might prove useful later on.”

Shen Ji Yun nodded. ”Then should we get off the next stop?”

”Okay.”

”But before that, could Yan Yan hide his hair and cover the lower half of your face?” he asked, hesitantly.

Luo Yan tilted his head, curious as to why Shen Ji Yun suddenly said that. ”Why?”

Shen Ji Yun looked sideways. ”Well, weʼre getting too much attention from other players. Itʼs kind of uncomfortable doing the task with all those gazes on us.”

That was indeed a very valid reason. But Luo Yan knew that there was probably a more accurate reason than that. Just looked at the way Shen Ji Yun looked sideways, he was definitely hiding something. He narrowed his eyes at him. But at the end, he still agreed. Whatever it was heʼs hiding, Luo Yan just have to find it out later.

He pulled up his hood and mask. But at the process, he had to remove the rabbit ear headband. He put the headband in his Items Tab. Then glanced at Shen Ji Yun.

”Now, Brother Ji Yun wonʼt be able to see my rabbit ears,” he said with a bit of regretful tone.

Yes, that was indeed such a waste – Shen Ji Yun thought so as well. But making sure that they wouldnʼt come across those three was much more important.

”Then, how about Brother Ji Yun? How would you disguise yourself?”

”I already have a way. We just have to get off the train first.”

Shen Ji Yun just hoped he would readily find what he was looking for.
