The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 932: WHATʼS BENEATH

SHEN JI YUN cleared his throat and said in a rather passionate manner, well, at least passionate for him, ”Of course! I wonʼt even let them get near me. Besides, I donʼt think there would be people out there who would be interested in me in that way.”

Luo Yan almost laughed because of that last sentence. ”Seriously, Brother Ji Yun? Have you seen yourself in the mirror?”

Shen Ji Yun scratched his cheek, seemingly shy by what Luo Yan was implying. ”Are you saying Iʼm handsome?”

Luo Yan pinched Shen Ji Yunʼs chin and smiled playfully. ”And are you fishing for compliments?”

A shy smile crossed Shen Ji Yunʼs lips. ”Maybe?”

”Then, you got one,” Luo Yan said, shaking the otherʼs chin as if he was a child. ”You are the most handsome man in the whole wide world. At least in my eyes, that is. Wouldnʼt that be enough for any bees and butterflies to flutter around you and show you their appreciation?”

”Maybe. But that would only be a passing fancy,” Shen Ji Yun said with a shrug. ”They wouldnʼt really like me for me. They might like my outer appearance, but once they saw whatʼs beneath, I donʼt they would feel the same.”

”Then, thatʼs their lost,” Luo Yan said. ”And what kind of ʼbeneathʼ are we talking exactly? Was it about your personality and beautiful soul? Or were you talking about all the muscles underneath the clothes youʼre wearing?”

He said that last part while looking at Shen Ji Yun provocatively from head to toe, as if he was undressing the other. Sure enough, Shen Ji Yunʼs whole face turned red. Which only made him chuckle.

”Oh, Brother Ji Yun, youʼre adorable.”

Shen Ji Yun pinched the otherʼs cheek as if taking revenge. ”You really shouldnʼt tease me too much.”

Luo Yan only hugged Shen Ji Yunʼs waist. ”And what are you going to do about it?”

Before Shen Ji Yun could answer, an intruding voice suddenly spoke.

”Master, Captain, are you done yet?”

Both Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun turned to the very familiar voice and saw Eclipse sitting on the side, looking up at them. The two instinctively stepped back from each other.

”Since when have you been here?” Luo Yan asked, pulling Eclipse up.

”Hmm, Eclipse doesnʼt know. Master and Captain had been talking for so long that Eclipse no longer looked at the time. But donʼt worry, Eclipse is a good boy, he didnʼt eavesdrop,” Eclipse said, pushing his chest out as if heʼs very proud of what he just said.

Luo Yan ruffled the boyʼs hair. ”Yes, Eclipse is a good boy.”

He glanced at Shen Ji Yun and smiled as if saying to the other that this situation was very laugh worthy. Shen Ji Yun smiled back as a respond, obviously agreeing.

”Shall we go back to headquarters?” Luo Yan asked. ”I think weʼd still be in time for the meeting.”

Their team actually had a meeting tonight. Mostly to talk about the upcoming Arcadia Cup. The preliminaries for the Cup would start just after Winter vacation. It would be a month-long event that would determine the top 16 teams. Which would then fight in a tournament until the two best teams were determined. And then, the two would fight for the championship.

Luo Yan was glad that the preliminaries would happen during the Winter vacation. Thatʼs probably Moonlight Mediaʼs consideration since most of the players participating were students.

Despite the strict prerequisites, many teams would still be able to participate. Thatʼs why many team battles would happen simultaneously on the same day. The fact that it could last for a month showed just how many teams would participate.

Yunyue had been training as a team for quite a while now, clearing dungeons and other stuffs. But if Luo Yan was being honest, their team was definitely not yet ready for the Arcadia Cup.

If it was just the preliminaries, then they would probably be fine. Their team was strong enough individually to win those matches. Getting to the top 16 would be a bit tough, but they could probably pull through. Especially with the help of two dragons and a void kitsune.

But getting to the finals would definitely be… very, very hard.

Unless, they improved their team work.

Thatʼs actually what their team was currently sorely lacking right now. He and Luo Jin were just new additions to the team. And while Shen Ji Yun, Bai Ze, and Su Yuqi were team mates for quite a long time, itʼs been a while since they fought together.

Another problem was Arcadia Cup was not just a simple 5 vs 5 game. Itʼs not like they would all just be on a ring and fight with one another. Arcadia Cup battles were divided into three categories – tower defense, battle arena, and wargame. The teams that would face each other would be randomly assigned what kind of category they would fight in.

These three all had one thing in common – strategy. They all needed good strategies to win. And strategies needed team work.

”Yes, letʼs go,” Shen Ji Yun said in response to what Luo Yan said.

The three then teleported to their teamʼs headquarters.

Arriving at their destination, a sudden thought occurred to Luo Yan.

”By the way, Brother Ji Yun, how come Dusk never appeared automatically near you whenever you logged in to game?”

Pets in the game had that kind of setting. So, it was weird that it didnʼt happen with Shen Ji Yun and Dusk. He had already noticed that long before but he always forgot asking about it.

”Ah, that. I changed the setting, so it would be that way,” Shen Ji Yun answered.

Luo Yan stopped walking and turned to Shen Ji Yun. ”Thereʼs a setting like that?”

”Wait- master, are you thinking of cutting off our connection?” Eclipse suddenly interrupted. The kid obviously took their conversation in that way. ”Does master not love Eclipse anymore?” he added as if he was about to cry.

Although Luo Yan knew that this kid was definitely just doing his usual acting, he decided to humor him. As always.
