The Return Of The God Level Assassin

”SHALL we go back to our teamʼs headquarters?” Luo Yan asked Shen Ji Yun.

Now that he had finally acknowledged his feelings for Shen Ji Yun, he felt immensely refreshed. Like his heart was immersed in a clear spring. He liked this feeling. Now, he couldnʼt imagine how it would feel like once he confessed. Or maybe once Shen Ji Yun confessed. Although in his opinion, with how shy and oblivious the other was, it would probably be him who would do the deed first.

Not that he minded. He already even had plans on when he would confess. By that time, this body was already 18 and hopefully, really hopefully, that by then his family was no longer antagonistic towards Shen Ji Yun. Well, he hoped they could at least be civil to each other at that point. That last part would depend on his convincing power and on how Shen Ji Yun behaved.

Ah, that would truly be a difficult one. Especially considering how protective his two brothers were. Maybe he should help them with their love life so they wouldnʼt interfere much with his. Or maybe he should outright just confess about his feelings towards Shen Ji Yun. At least that way, the two wouldnʼt always think that the other was taking advantage of him.

But not now. At least after his birthday. Then his two brothers wouldnʼt use the excuse of Shen Ji Yun coaxing a minor into a relationship with him. With how his brothers were, thatʼs certainly something they might do.

Speaking of, with this little action of Shen Ji Yun, he would surely be once again under the radar of Luo Ren and Luo Jin. They were probably even wondering where the ʼvillainʼ had brought their lovable brother.

In fact, the two had been sending him messages for a while now. He didnʼt have to look to know what might be the contents of the messages.

”Can we stay here for a bit?” Shen Ji Yun asked instead.

Itʼs probably a bit too shameless of him to ask this. Especially after what just happened. But he truly just wanted to spend more time with Luo Yan. After all, because of the preliminary, he hadnʼt been alone with him for more than a day. Even though they could only meet here in the game, he still treasured their time alone together.

If they went back to the headquarters now, Luo Yanʼs brothers would surely get in the way. Heck, they might even convince Luo Yan to immediately log out.

Luo Yan stared at Shen Ji Yun. He was looking at him with eyes full of hope. Like some kid asking for a candy. No, more like a puppy waiting for its owner to give it food. He just lacked the ears and the tail.

Really, this big cinnamon roll. How more adorable could he be? It simply made him want to tease him. But that was not the time for that. He should help Shen Ji Yun to be in his brothersʼ good graces. When best to start than now?

”But Brother Ji Yun, everyone is probably waiting for us. They also would want to congratulate me. Especially Brother. I donʼt want Brother to think badly of you for bringing me here. I donʼt want my brother to think badly of you.”

[He already thinks badly of me.] – Shen Ji Yun thought.

But Luo Yan was right. Thereʼs no need to antagonize him more. He was about to agree when he felt something soft touching his hand. He gazed down and saw another hand holding his own. Then he raised his gaze towards Luo Yanʼs beautiful face. Those big blue eyes were shining brilliantly.

”Letʼs go, okay, Brother Ji Yun?” Luo Yan continued.

How could anyone say no to that?

”Okay,” Shen Ji Yun could only say at the end.

And so, the two teleported out of the floating island.

Just as Luo Yan thought, Luo Ren and Luo Jin were not very happy with Shen Ji Yun ʼabductingʼ their brother.

The rest of team Yunyue was at the headquarters, inside the main hall to be exact, together with Luo Ren and Yu Jiao. There was also a little fox sitting on the table, licking his paw.

Luo Jin was walking back and forth, his small face all scrunched up. ”Just where did that Shen Ji Yun bring Yan? And why is Yan not even answering my messages? Did that guy prevented him from doing so or something? What does that guy think heʼs--”

He hadnʼt finished what heʼs saying because someone suddenly pinched his cheek. He glanced sideways and saw that it was Su Yuqi.

”Calm down, will you?” she said before letting go of the otherʼs cheek. ”Youʼre acting as if Shen Ji Yun is a criminal. What do you think he will do, eat Luo Yan or something? Youʼve known Shen Ji Yun for at least two months now. Despite that, do you still think heʼs someone capable of doing harm to your brother?”

Luo Jin was shocked. Because he wasnʼt expecting Su Yuqi to say that to him. But whatʼs more shocking was the fact that she was looking at him with a trace of disappointment. As if he was being too childish.

He wanted to respond back but hid didnʼt know what to say. This situation suddenly made him remember that Shen Ji Yun and Su Yuqi had known each other since high school. Of course, she would side with the other instead of him.

He couldnʼt just go and say that he was worried about Shen Ji Yunʼs interest towards his brother. And he wasnʼt referring to the friendly kind of interest but the romantic one. If he did say that, Su Yuqi might just right out laugh at him, telling him that heʼs being paranoid.

He understood logically that Shen Ji Yun wouldnʼt do anything bad to Luo Yan. But his protective instinct just refused to admit that. So, he truly couldnʼt help but act this way when it came to his second brother.

Itʼs most likely because of that accident more than seven years ago. Even though he was only a kid then, the memory of that time was still deeply embedded in his mind. The guilt that he felt for being the only one who survived unscathed was so overwhelming that it nearly destroyed him.

Thatʼs why now that Luo Yan was awake and healthy, his overprotective nature couldnʼt be held in even if he wanted to. Itʼs the reason why he just couldnʼt like Shen Ji Yun. All because he didnʼt like the interest he was showing his brother. After all, this interest could destroy Luo Yan.

Luo Jin suddenly felt depressed.

”Itʼs only natural for Xiao Jin to worry. Yan Yan is very dear to us, after all,” Luo Ren suddenly asked, he was smiling yet it didnʼt reach his eyes. In fact, his gaze was a bit chilling. ”Or does Miss Su suggest that we shouldnʼt worry about our own brother? Because just like you said, your friend wouldnʼt do anything ʼbadʼ to him.”

Su Yuqi turned her indifferent gaze to Luo Ren. ”Being worried is fine if thereʼs a viable reason for it. But in this case, you two are simply being paranoid.”

And the temperature around them suddenly turned a few degrees down. To the point that it almost felt freezing.
