The Return Of The God Level Assassin

SOON after, the screen of Luo Yanʼs phone showed Shen Ji Yunʼs handsome face. ”Brother Ji Yun!” he greeted the other with a smile.

”Yan Yan,” Shen Ji Yun called back. ”How was Yu Jiao?”

He received a message earlier from Luo Yan telling him that they couldnʼt continue with their task because of what happened to Yu Jiao. The other also asked him if he could log into the game and tell Eclipse that he might not be able to meet him in the next few days. So, the little fox could freely stay at the site of the demon fox tribe and get to know the other kitsunes there.

If others heard Luo Yanʼs request, they might laugh at him and tell him that heʼs taking those ʼNPCsʼ too seriously. As if they were living being and not just made of data and codes. Of course, Shen Ji Yun wouldnʼt do that. In fact, his first reaction was to agree to Luo Yanʼs request. Not only because it was made by his rabbit, but because he understood the otherʼs attachment to Eclipse.

It was just something that was so Luo Yan. For Shen Ji Yun, that was not something weird. In fact, itʼs something that made Luo Yan more adorable in his eyes.

”Sheʼs fine. She just suffered a minor injury that would probably heal in a few days,” Luo Yan answered. ”But the way she got that injury really made me angry.”

Shen Ji Yun stared at Luo Yanʼs expression. He could see the underlying anger in those peach blossom eyes. It seemed that Yu Jiaoʼs hospitalization was not just a simple accident. Based on Luo Yanʼs reaction just now, he could only have one guess.

”Did someone deliberately injure her?” he asked.

Luo Yan snapped back from thinking just how annoyed he was with what Mo Jian did. He looked at Shen Ji Yun and smiled. As expected, he didnʼt have to say much and the other would quickly understand what he meant. If only he could also be as sharp when it came to his feelings as well.

But alas, not everyone could be that perfect. Not even Shen Ji Yun. But thatʼs fine. This denseness was also adorable in a way. It made teasing the other more fun.

”In a way, thatʼs correct,” he said, answering the otherʼs earlier question.

Then he proceeded on explaining to Shen Ji Yun what really happened to Yu Jiao and how she ended up in the hospital.

Shen Ji Yun listened quietly. He didnʼt interrupt Luo Yan until the other was finished. After that, he said, ”Do you already have a plan to deal with that girl?”

Knowing Luo Yan, he was sure that the other had already concocted some kind of plan. He wouldnʼt just sit around and do nothing when someone wronged his friend. Itʼs also probably the reason why he wouldnʼt be able to focus on doing their hidden task for the next few days. Because he would be busy with that ʼplanʼ instead.

Luo Yan smiled. ”Of course.”

Looking at this confident, and slightly smug smile, the corner of Shen Ji Yunʼs lips also curved into a tiny arc. ”If thereʼs anything I can help you with, just tell.”

”Nah. Itʼs okay. My brothers and I can handle this small thing.”

Shen Ji Yun nodded, feeling a bit disappointed that he wouldnʼt be able to help Luo Yan with this. But this was Luo Yanʼs decision. Giving unwanted help might just annoy the other. Besides, with Luo Yanʼs ability to scheme, there probably wouldnʼt be any problems with whatever plan he thought of.

Maybe he should use this time to make a daifuku that had the same taste as the ones they ate at Shirayukiʼs home. Maybe he could send it once Luo Yan succeeded with his plan. Then, it could be some kind of reward for a job well done.

A fresh daifuku could still be eaten after two days. Delivering a food package from B City to S City surely wouldnʼt take that long. With the right packaging and the right courier, heʼs confident that Luo Yan could still enjoy the daifuku as if it was freshly made.

Thinking of that, his mood became better.

Of course, Luo Yan had noticed the changes in the expression of the other. From a slight disappointment to being determined. He knew the reason why he could be disappointed. Itʼs probably because he refused his offer to help. But what he couldnʼt immediately was the otherʼs determined expression.

Well, no matter. It most likely had to be connected to Luo Yan in some way. Knowing Shen Ji Yun, it would definitely not be something thatʼs bad for him.

He no longer dwelled on that and just continued to chat with the other.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Mo Guang Lin just stepped out of his daughterʼs hospital room to take a call from his son – Mo Jiu. Mo Jian was already asleep and he didnʼt want to wake her up.

”Ah Jiu, havenʼt you received my message? Your sister was hospitalized. How come you havenʼt visited?” was the first thing he said after accepting the call.

”Ah, sorry, Dad. In case, you have forgotten, Iʼm a busy college student. I currently have no time to spare,” although he apologized, Mo Jiuʼs tone of voice was deadpan and even a bit sarcastic. It showed that he completely didnʼt care if his sister was in the hospital or not.

Mo Guang Lin gritted his teeth when he heard that. Sometimes, this son of his could really make his blood pressure shoot up with just a few words from his mouth. He let out a deep breath to stop himself from scolding the other.

”So, whatʼs the reason you called?” he just chose to ask.

”Hmm… from the tone of Dadʼs voice, I guess you still donʼt know it yet.”

”What are you talking about? Speak clearly!”

”Well, you and Mo Jian are being targeted by someone online,” the other said, as if he just told him the weather today. ”They said that Mo Jian is a nasty little devil and youʼre the crazy father who helped in polishing her horns.”
