The Return Of The God Level Assassin

YU JIAO was sitting somehow in-between Luo Ren and Shen Ji Yun. ʼSomehowʼ because while Luo Ren was sitting beside her, the distance between him and Shen Ji Yun was a few chairs. Despite that, she could still feel the tension between the two.

She bit her lower lip. She didnʼt like this kind of atmosphere. She couldnʼt even understand why the two were suddenly going nose-to-nose with each other. They were just discussing about how awesome Luo Yan was and it just turned to this. Itʼs like the two wanted to make a point and just couldnʼt agree with anything.

What she got from the conversation of the two, if one could even call it that, was Shen Ji Yun telling Luo Ren that he shouldnʼt be too overprotective of Luo Yan and Luo Ren answering that he understood but itʼs not really any of Shen Ji Yunʼs business.

She knew that both cared about Luo Yan. So, why was there a need to argue?

Yu Jiao turned to Luo Ren and pulled the otherʼs cuff. ”Mr. Luo, please donʼt fight.”

Hearing that word ʼMr. Luoʼ, the corner of Luo Renʼs lips twitched. The annoyance he felt because of Shen Ji Yun just vanished. He gazed down at the ʼhandsome young manʼ beside him and leaned close.

Then he whispered in a voice that only they could hear, ”If you call me ʼBrother Renʼ, then I will.”

Yu Jiaoʼs face suddenly turned red. ”You—I—”

”Iʼm just joking,” Luo Ren said. If he continued teasing her, Yu Jiaoʼs face would probably not only be red but crimson scarlet. ”Donʼt worry, me and that guy were not really fighting.”

He realized just how childish heʼd been. Being confrontational with someone younger just because he suspected that the other liked his younger brother. It was fine if he was at Luo Jinʼs age. But he was the oldest here and yet heʼs acting really immature. But could you blame him? Itʼs just really hard to control his feelings when it involved Luo Yan.

He understood that protecting Luo Yan from everything was not something that he and the rest of the family should do. But he also knew that they should protect them from certain things. Like being judged unfairly by society or something.

Another person who had been confused by the short confrontation between the two was Bai Ze. He couldnʼt understand why his older cousin was so antagonistic towards Shen Ji Yun. But Shen Ji Yunʼs attitude towards Luo Yan was even more less understandable.

He sighed. It seemed like he really should talk to this friend of his.

Shen Ji Yun no longer paid attention to Luo Ren. He knew that he really shouldnʼt leave this much bad impression on any of Luo Yanʼs family member. But he just couldnʼt let Luo Ren continued to have this misconception about Luo Yan. He didnʼt want him or the rest of his family to limit Luo Yan and be a form of ʼshackleʼ to him.

Maybe itʼs a good thing that Luo Ren decided to enter the game today. At least, the other would have a chance to see just how really strong Luo Yan was.

He suddenly felt something nudging on his palm. He gazed down and saw the little fox rubbing his fluffy head on his hand. The little thing was looking at him with eyes as if asking if he was alright. A small smile appeared on his lips.

”Letʼs continue watching your master be amazing,” he said to Eclipse in an almost quiet voice.

And the Qilin and little Kitsune both turned their gazes towards the screen.

After hearing what Captain Roger said, Luo Yan showed a bright smile.

”Congratulations, Mr. Noctis. Captain Roger always gives the best of rewards,” the NPC said to Luo Yan.

”Thank you,” Luo Yan responded before turning to his brother. ”See, I told you weʼd get that ʼMVPʼ reward.”

”Yeah, yeah,” Luo Jin said with his hand under his chin.

With all the explanation his brother gave him earlier, heʼd be more surprised if they didnʼt get it.

He was actually a bit mortified, hearing that NPC announced his game account name so loudly. Just thinking that a lot of people, not only players but also those who was watching the live broadcast, heard that, his mortification just intensified even further.

Now, more than ever, he truly regretted picking that name. The only thing he was glad for was the fact that no one would associate himself with this puny game avatar. With his almost gangster-like reputation in school, no one there would definitely think that he and the AmazingYoungMasterJin was one and the same.

Hopefully.

”Does that mean we wonʼt fight for the next reward?”

”If you want to, we could. Iʼm up for anything,” Luo Yan answered. ”So, do you, I mean, want to?”

”No, Iʼm fine with us just staying here until we reach the island,” Luo Jin said.

If they took the next reward, he was sure that almost all the remaining players would surely target them. Not that his afraid of that. He simply found it very troublesome. Besides, he didnʼt want his game account name to be announced again.

Or maybe he should start getting used to it? After all, once the final tournament started after this preliminary was done, his game account name would definitely be mentioned. It wouldnʼt be good if he continued to feel mortified every time some referee called that embarrassing name.

Luo Yan shrugged. ”Okay.” Then he turned to the NPC. ”Can we stay here until we arrived at our destination?”

”Of course,” the NPC didnʼt hesitate to say. ”Mr. Noctis saved the ship. Youʼre more than welcome here. And Iʼm sure our captain wouldnʼt mind it either.”

Luo Yan was glad when he heard that. At least here, they wouldnʼt be disturbed by others. Because he was sure that a lot of players would be dissatisfied with Captain Rogerʼs decision. After all, in their minds, they deserved the rewards more. Especially those who fought the mermaids directly.

Just like what Luo Yan thought, the players on the deck who fought with the mermaids were very dissatisfied with Captain Rogers announcement.
