The Return of the God Level Assassin

A smile appeared behind the veil covering Luo Yan's lower face. When he heard the applause of the people in the stadium, he knew that his pavilion's presentation was a success. Now, he was glad that he asked Uncle Yi Mu for this useless dance skill.

Yes, this dance was a different skill from the one he originally had. Because he had already used that one during the opening of Yuexing Pavilion. If he used it again, then it would seem that he's an 'NPC' that only knew one kind of dance. So, he contacted Uncle Yi Mu and asked him if he could tailor a skill specifically for this opening ceremony. And, judging from the applause he's hearing, Uncle Yi Mu definitely more than delivered.

So, how did he actually ended up asking Uncle Yi Mu that in the first place? Well, it all happened on Sunday, just a day before he and Luo Jin flew to B City.

Luo Yan was checking his luggage, making sure that there's nothing he had forgotten. That's when he received a call from Uncle Yi Mu.

"Uncle Yi Mu?" he greeted in a half confused, half curious tone. Because he wasn't sure why the other would be calling him on a Sunday morning.

"Hey, Xiao Yan, do you know about the opening ceremony of Arcadia Cup?"

This question only made Luo Yan more curious. "Yes? But why is Uncle Yi Mu asking that?"

"Are you interested in performing there?"

Luo Yan almost thought that he was having an auditory hallucination. Why would Uncle Yi Mu suddenly ask him to perform there?

"Ahm, Uncle Yi Mu, is Moonlight Media about to go bankrupt?"

"This kid, why are you suddenly asking something so ominous?"

"Because if Moonlight Media is not going bankrupt, why is Uncle asking me to perform at the opening ceremony? Of course, my first thought would be that your company lacked funds to invite celebrities or something," Luo Yan reasoned out in a completely serious voice.

He heard a loud laugh from the other end of the line. "No, it's definitely not that. That elf from the opening of Yuexing Pavilion? It's you, right? I just happened to see it the other day and thought that you could perform at the opening ceremony together with the other NPCs from your pavilion."

Ah, so technically, Uncle Yi Mu was inviting Yuexing Pavilion, and not exactly just him. The pavilion had been a favorite hang-out spot by players since it opened a few months ago. One of the highlights of the pavilion was the performances being performed by the NPCs there. So, it's not really that weird if Uncle Yi Mu asked him if they could perform at the opening ceremony.

But...

"I can just lend the NPCs from my pavilion, Uncle. There's no reason for me to specifically perform with them," he said. After all, the reason he could dance was only because of a skill.

"Why, don't you want to surprise Ji Yun?"

And with that one sentence, Luo Yan was completely convinced and readily agreed.

=====

Well, he's a simple boy. He heard Shen Ji Yun's name and just couldn't reject Uncle Yi Mu's proposal.

After that, he simply had to get the dance skill he requested from Uncle Yi Mu, then coordinate with the person supervising the whole event. Of course, as the owner of the pavilion and not as the beautiful black-haired elf. His identity as that elf was still a secret, and he's not particularly keen on revealing it to everyone. Except his team mates, naturally.

And this performance was the end result.

Luo Yan was very satisfied with it.

As the stage went dark once again, the NPCs on the stage disappeared, most likely being transported back to Yuexing Pavilion. He was also teleported away. But his destination was not the pavilion but the private box where team Yunyue was.

This was something that Uncle Yi Mu had prepared so he wouldn't have a problem going back to his teammates after the performance.

When Luo Yan opened his eyes, he was already inside his team's private box. His gaze automatically searched for Shen Ji Yun and it just so happened that the other turned his head to look in his direction. Their gaze met and Luo Yan suddenly felt like Shen Ji Yun was about to devour him with his fiery beast-like eyes.

Before he could fully react, a 'cannon ball' suddenly threw himself at him. "Master, you're amazing!"

Luo Yan looked away from his boyfriend's hungry gaze and looked down at the little boy hugging his arm. He ruffled Eclipse's hair. "Thank you. Did you do a good job here?"

Eclipse patted his chest in a proud manner. "Of course! They didn't even know that Eclipse was impersonating master."

Luo Yan raised his brow and looked at Shen Ji Yun again. "Even Brother Ji Yun didn't realize that I wasn't here? Now, I'm feeling a bit heartbroken," he said, acting all sad.

Shen Ji Yun's fiery gaze quickly turned into panic and he immediately stood in front of Luo Yan in just two strides. "No, I noticed way before. I just didn't say anything because I thought you have your reason for letting Eclipse do that."

Luo Yan looked up at the other. "Really?"

Shen Ji Yun reached for Luo Yan's hand and held it tightly. "Really. How can I even mistake you for another when you're the only one who can make my heart beat like a speeding race car?"

"Stop. Stop! Please don't flirt in front of us single dogs!" Bai Ze said, covering his eyes as if he was watching something unsavory.

"I think I just threw up a little bit hearing that cheesy line," Su Yuqi said in a dry voice.

"Same," Luo Jin agreed. "My stomach is actually already churning."

Luo Yan was looking at Shen Ji Yun, so he saw how the other's face turned completely red after hearing the other's comments. He laughed and just hugged Shen Ji Yun's waist.

Then, he whispered to the other, "Don't worry, Brother Ji Yun. I loved your romantic one-liners."
