The Return Of The God Level Assassin

SHEN YI MU raised one of his brows when he heard the boy introduced himself as Ji Yunʼs friend. His nephew barely interacted with people his own age. When did he have such a young friend? But since Ji Yun brought the boy here and he also didnʼt deny when the other called himself as his ʼfriendʼ, then it must be true.

So, his attitude became more welcoming. He stood up and smiled at the boy. ”Nice to meet you too, Xiao Yan. Since youʼre Ji Yunʼs friend, then just call me Uncle Yi Mu.”

Luo Yan felt a bit shy. He couldnʼt believe that there would come a time that his idol would actually tell him to call him ʼuncleʼ. Shen Yi Mu was only in his mid-30s. If they went by his real age, then itʼs more appropriate to call him ʼbrotherʼ. But calling him that in his current form would totally be weird.

”Yes, Uncle,” he said shyly, a pink tinge appearing on his cheeks.

Beautiful people always had their own inherent advantages. Especially if they had a pure and innocent atmosphere around them like Luo Yan. People just couldnʼt help but have a good impression of them. Which exactly what Shen Yi Mu was feeling.

Shen Ji Yun looked at Luo Yanʼs blushing cheek then glanced dissatisfiedly at his uncle. Although he had already told himself not to be petty and be more mature in handling his feelings, but he couldnʼt just suddenly control it this soon.

Shen Yi Mu happened to see his nephew looking at him with such a glance. Why is Ji Yun looking at him like he just stole his favorite food or something? But he didnʼt have time to pay more attention to his nephew because the boy – Luo Yan spoke again.

”Uncle Yi Mu, Iʼve been a big fan of you since I started playing Arcadia. I really hope that I could also create a game like Arcadia in the future.”

Shen Yi Mu looked at Luo Yan, his big peach blossom eyes were shining brightly. It almost felt like there were sparkles around the boy. He had heard a lot of people telling him that they idolized him, but this was the first time he had seen someone practically shining while doing so.

He resisted the urge to rub the otherʼs hair. Because he didnʼt want to be labeled as a weird uncle.

”Iʼm sure Xiao Yan would be successful,” he said, hoping that the boy would really attain his dreams.

Luo Yan smiled. ”Thank you, Uncle Yi Mu!”

Shen Yi Mu felt like he had just been hit by a cuteness beam. Itʼs a good think that he had good control over his emotion or he might just squeal like some teenage girl because of his cuteness.

”Did the two of you meet in the game?” he asked.

He had a guess that Luo Yan was the one Ji Yun was with the whole afternoon. His nephew did say that he went out with some acquaintances. He might be a local.

Then he suddenly remembered when Ji Yun asked him to go to Chengdu out of the blue. Could it be because he was planning to meet this boy?

But he also quickly denied that idea. He couldnʼt imagine his nephew doing that just to meet up with someone. Even that kid, Bai Ze, had never experienced such privilege.

”We met at F University. When Uncle went as a speaker for the graduating class,” Shen Ji Yun answered.

Shen Yi Mu didnʼt expect that answer. He did remember Ji Yun going off somewhere before he began his speech. Did the two met then? Wait- if that was the case, then did that mean that Luo Yan was a college student? He laughed inwardly at his own conjecture. No, he might just be visiting some relative there.

”Youʼre not a college student, right, Xiao Yan?” he still asked but his tone had a bit of teasing in them.

”No. Iʼm still in high school. Though Iʼll be in college next year,” Luo Yan answered.

Shen Yi Mu wasnʼt sure if he heard that right. He looked at the boy, staring at him from head to foot. He couldnʼt really see that the other was already 17 or 18.

”Uncle, gawking like that is rude,” Shen Ji Yun said reminding him of his behavior.

”Ah, yes, sorry Xiao Yan, for staring.”

”Itʼs alright, Uncle Yi Mu, I get that reaction a lot,” Luo Yan said. ”But donʼt worry. I may be a little short now, but Iʼll definitely grow taller. As a matter of fact, I just grew 2 cm more in a span of almost two weeks. I can feel that my growth spurt is nearing!”

Boys usually had their growth spurt between 12 to 16 years of age. If he was in his last year of high school, then he already passed the right age. But looking at the determination in those big black eyes, Shen Yi Mu couldnʼt bear to tell him otherwise. So, he could only say;

”Xiao Yan would definitely just grow taller and taller.”

Luo Yan smiled sweetly when he heard that. ”Iʼm really looking forward to it. You see, Uncle, my brothers are all tall. Maybe I could grow to 180 cm.”

”Iʼm sure you would,” Shen Yi Mu said. Then he tactically changed the subject. ”Did the two of you remain in contact since you met at F University?”

”Well, Brother Ji Yun and I met again in Arcadia. Then we became friends since,” Luo Yan said. ”It also happened that heʼs actually friends with my older cousin, Brother Ze. After finding that out, my brother and I joined their team.”

Shen Yi Mu was a bit surprised hearing what Luo Yan said. ”Thatʼs a lot of coincidence,” he commented. ”Does that mean that you two also coincidentally met here in Chengdu?” he asked with a bit of teasing tone.

Because itʼs now quite obvious that Luo Yan was not a local. If they met at F University, thereʼs a high chance that heʼs from S City.

”No, I actually asked Uncle to go here because I knew that Yan Yan and his family would go here for vacation,” Shen Ji Yun said honestly.

Both Luo Yan and Shen Yi Mu turned sharply to his direction.
