The Return Of The God Level Assassin

1072  WOES OF A SINGLE DOG

”BEFORE we start, we should firsr establish an important rule,” Bai Ze said. Everyone in the team was already in the main hall. He stood up and then pointed at Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun. ”No more making out in the teamʼs public spaces!”

Luo Yan blinked innocently, as if he didnʼt know what Bai Ze was talking about. While Shen Ji Yun only cleared his throat and averted his gaze.

”Do you know how I felt when I opened the door earlier and the first thing I saw was you two— ah! I canʼt even say it! If you want to do something like that, just find a private place where no one could see you. Okay?”

”Brother Ze, why are you talking like Brother Ji Yun and I were doing something... nasty?” Luo Yan said in a very dramatic manner. Then he started fake-crying. ”I canʼt believe you think we will do that kind of thing in public. Is that how you actually see us?”

As if on cue, Shen Ji Yun quickly hugged Luo Yanʼs shoulders. Then, he looked at Bai Ze as if blaming the other. One might think that he was just playing along with Luo Yanʼs act. But with the kind of love brain he had, it wouldnʼt be surprising if he wasnʼt playing along and was actually very serious with his actions.

Bai Ze was also on the same boat. His initial indignation was quikcly swept away when he saw his cousin ʼcryingʼ. ”Oh no, thatʼs not it--”

Luo Jin, on the side, couldnʼt take it anymore and cut off whatever Bai Ze was about to say. ”I agree with Brother Ze. Public spaces should be treated like a public space.”

When he heard what Bai Ze had said earlier, he seriously just wanted this conversation to end. His brother and Shen Ji Yun... he never wanted that kind of imagery in his mind. Like the feeling of being embarrassed and the urge to puke just mixed together, creating a pit in his stomach.

Should he be glad that he didnʼt see the two in a compromising position like Bai Ze did? If he did, he might really end up having a stomachache even though they were in a virtual reality.

He glared at Shen Ji Yun. This was all this guyʼs fault. Even if he and Luo Yan were in that kind of relationship, he should know that there were things he should and shouldnʼt do in places where people could easily see them. Well, granted that only their team members could see them in such a situation since they were at their headquarters. But still.

Seeing his brother not falling for his crying act, he once again felt like a mother hen seeing her chick growing up. ”Aw... Ah Jin has really grown up.”

Su Yuqi softly laughed when she heard that. Then she gave Luo Jin a glance and added, ”Yeah, in more ways than one.”

For some reason, that short comment from Su Yuqi made Luo Jin blush.

Watching this interaction, and then seeing Shen Ji Yun still hugging Luo Yanʼs shoulder, Bai Ze felt like a single dog more than ever. No, why would he feel that when thereʼs only one official couple here?

He looked at Su Yuqi and Luo Jin suspiciously. Then he quickly shook his head. Nope. He would not go there. Just the thought of that possibility was already giving him goosebumps.

Then, as if to drive the point home, the hushed conversation on the side reached his ear.

”Maybe the big lion should also look for a girlfriend, or maybe a boyfriend?” said the little fox.

”With that look? Maybe in a hundred years,” the red dragon replied with a snort.

Bai Ze felt like a vein on his forehead throbbed hearing that conversation. Aside from the irritation, he couldnʼt help but wonder when the heck these two actually started to get along.

Anyway, he decided to be the bigger person and just ignore the two. He then talked about the topic he had really wanted to talk about since earlier.

”By the way, I already confirmed with Brother Xiang Ye, he and Brother Yu Lan will return next month. Probably just in time for the start of Arcadia Cupʼs final tournament.”

”Theyʼve been travelling around the world, right?” Luo Yan asked, curious.

He heard that the two studied abroad, and after graduating, they started travelling around the world.

”Yeah, theyʼve been travelling for two years now. They mostly ended up in places with no reception, thatʼs why itʼs been hard to contact them,” Bai Ze said. ”Both of them are really fun. You and Xiao Jin will definitely like them.”

”If Brother Yu Lan heard you calling him ʼfunʼ, he will definitely give you his signature cold stare,” Su Yuqi commented.

Bai Ze suddenly shivered. ”Hey, donʼt remind me.”

”The final tournament might not happen next month though,” Shen Ji Yun said. ”I heard from Uncle this morning that the final tournament this year would be moved. It will probably be announced later during the closing ceremony.”

”What? Why the sudden change?” Bai Ze asked, confused.

”Uncle didnʼt tell me anything more than that,” Shen Ji Yun said with a shrug.

”Maybe Uncle Yi Mu is about to announce something big again,” Luo Yan commented.

”Aww man. I hope both Brother Xiang Ye and Brother Yu Lanʼs stay here is much longer and not just one month. That way, they could watch us in the final tournament,” Bai Ze said with a hopeful tone.

”Theyʼve been away for so long, Iʼm sure they wonʼt just stay here for a month,” Shen Ji Yun said.

”And if ever they really plan to leave after a month, we can convince them to extend their stay,” Su Yuqi added.

Just hearing that, itʼs obvious that the three were really close with the two retired members. Now Luo Yan was also a bit excited to meet the two. Besides, from what Shen Ji Yun had told him so far, those two seemed to have a very unique relationship.

After talking about this and that, the time for the closing ceremony finally arrived.
