The Return Of The God Level Assassin

LUO YAN quickly replied;

Noctis: [I’ll go outside to meet you.]

He turned to Yu Jiao. "Jiao Jiao, I’m sorry if I have to leave now. Brother Ji Yun is outside. We have to do some tasks together. I didn’t expect that he would come so early. I thought we still have some time to hang out for a bit."

Eclipse happily raised his head from Luo Yan’s shoulder. [Captain is here?] He looked at Luo Yan. [Mashter, let’s go, let’s go and meet Captain!]

Luo Yan pinched the little fox’s cheek. Seeing Eclipse’s shining blue eyes and wagging tails, he wondered again if he was really the master of this little guy or if it was actually Shen Ji Yun. [We’ll meet him soon. Don’t be too excited.]

Brother Ji Yun? Was he talking about YUN, the captain of Yunyue? – Yu Jiao thought. She almost forgot that Luo Yan was also now a member of Yunyue. Doing a task together should not be surprising.

"It’s okay. We could just hang out again together," she said. "Then I’ll walk you outside."

Though truthfully, she wasn’t really comfortable around YUN. When she attended the opening of Yuexing Pavilion and Luo Yan introduced her to the other members of Yunyue, she could feel that their captain might not like her. Due to her timid disposition, she was very sensitive to others feelings towards her. Particularly the negative ones.

Although she couldn’t feel any malicious intent coming from him, she could still tell that he didn’t particularly like her. She didn’t want to hover around people who disliked her. But it would be rude to not even walk Luo Yan outside. Especially since she’s the owner of this building, so the other was basically her guest. Not to mention that they’re also friends.

So, she decided to just suck it up. She would just not talk to YUN so he wouldn’t be more irritated with her.

"Okay," Luo Yan said.

And the two walked out.

The moment they did, Eclipse jumped off from Luo Yan’s shoulder and trotted ahead of them.

"Well, your pet seems really excited," Yu Jiao commented looking at the small fox running ahead.

"He kind of have a thing for Brother Ji Yun," Luo Yan only said. "He’s probably attracted to his handsomeness. But who wouldn’t, right?" He sighed and continued, "Seriously, it should be illegal to be that handsome. See, he couldn’t even let a virtual pet off his hook."

Yu Jiao certainly didn’t know how to response to that. She wanted to say that she’s not really attracted to YUN’s so-called ’handsomeness’. He was too expressionless. Like a doll. She wasn’t even sure if he was alive. If they’re talking about someone handsome to the point that they would attract anyone, then Luo Ren should fit the bill more.

She suddenly caught herself. Realizing what she thought just now, her whole face suddenly reddened. What was she doing suddenly thinking of her friend’s older brother like that? She shook her head vigorously, wanting to erase that idea off from her mind.

"I-I see," she just said as a reply to what Luo Yan said.

Then she looked down to prevent him from seeing her blushing face. If Luo Yan were to ask him why her face suddenly turned red for no reason, she wasn’t sure that she would be able to lie. What would she say? That she just thought your older brother was much more handsome than YUN? That would be mortifying. Luo Yan might even think that she was aiming for Luo Ren. Which she absolutely wouldn’t do.

When Luo Yan didn’t ask more, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

They reached the first floor of her shop and they saw the little fox running forward towards the door. The said door automatically opened and Eclipse jumped forward as if to run to the arms of someone.

Shen Ji Yun barely managed to catch the black fluffball that suddenly attacked him. When he recognized that it was Luo Yan’s pet fox, he immediately raised his head towards the door. And there, he saw his rabbit walking towards him with a helpless smile on his face. Most probably targeted at the little fox in his arms.

He was about to smile when he saw the tall person walking besides Luo Yan. An imperceptible frown appeared on his face. But he quickly removed that expression on his face. Then he said to himself for the nth time – be more mature.

This guy, no, girl, was Luo Yan’s friend. He couldn’t always be feeling antagonistic towards every person that his rabbit befriended. That’s toxic and not very healthy. He took a deep breath and tried his best to return to normal.

He knew he was only acting like this because he wasn’t sure if this Yu Jiao would like Luo Yan. That unsureness was the reason why he’s all riled up. After all, Luo Yan was so good and perfect, everyone would just fall for him. So, even though he decided to be the more mature one and not act like some unreasonable, he still needed to put his guard up. After all, there’s no telling if this girl would turn out to be his rival.

Yu Jiao didn’t know if it was just her illusion, but it kind of felt like YUN was looking at her like they were in some competition or something and she was his opponent. Just thinking of that was already giving her goosebumps. The bad kind. Just what did she do to offend this male god?

"Brother Ji Yun, sorry if Eclipse jumped on you so suddenly," Luo Yan said once they were near Shen Ji Yun, looking at the fox who was happily snuggling in the other’s arms. "This little guy just seems to like you so much. In fact, I think he likes you more than me."

The corners of Shen Ji Yun’s lips slightly curved. "No, how could he like me more than you? If anyone were to choose between the two of us, they would surely choose you."

Yu Jiao was really surprised seeing the interaction of the two. Because the phrase that she thought of earlier about YUN being an ’expressionless doll’ suddenly could no longer described him at this moment. Although there wasn’t still that much expression on his face, his eyes right now were drowning with gentleness as he looked at Luo Yan. She could even see a small smile on his lips full of pampering.

It’s like he’s Pinocchio and Luo Yan was the blue fairy who gave him life.

Somehow, that analogy seemed to be very fitting for the two.

Luo Yan turned to Yu Jiao. "Jiao Jiao, we’ll go now. Thank you again for the amazing weapons you made for me and Ah Jin."

Yu Jiao shook her head. "There’s no need for thanks. I’m very happy to make them for the two of you."

Luo Yan smiled brightly. "I’ll message you later on WeChat."

Yu Jiao also smiled. "Okay."

Luo Yan waved her goodbye and turned back. When she looked at YUN, she was slightly startled when their gazes collided. Then, surprisingly, the other nodded at her before following Luo Yan.

Looking at the backs of the two, a sudden thought came to Yu Jiao’s mind. Was the reason why YUN was treating her like some kind of ’competitor’ because of Luo Yan? Even if there was no confirmation, she already believed that the possibility of that was 70%.

Then, could it be...?

Yu Jiao shook her head. That thought just now was very dangerous. She’s probably was just thinking too much. Yes, that must be it. Definitely.

Or was it?
