The Return Of The God Level Assassin

”SO, you donʼt even plan to give any sort of compensation?” Duan Yu asked.

Shen Ji Yun just shrugged. The action almost equivalent to saying ʼyes, I donʼt plan on doing that at allʼ. ”But if you insist, you can name an item you wanted and Iʼll give it to you once this event is over,” he said but you could still hear in his voice that heʼs just being perfunctory.

Duan Yu was a bit dumbfounded. His knowledge of YUN was only based on the first season of Arcadia Cup when Yunyue won and those snippet videos of him in the Arena. In all those, YUN was always expressionless. There wasnʼt even a time that he showed any surge of emotion. Even when his team was on the verge of losing.

So he read the guy as someone who didnʼt care much about anything. Someone who wouldnʼt even bat an eye or change his expression no matter the situation. But since Duan Yu entered this room, YUN already had showed him a number of emotions. Although his face still remained expressionless, his body language clearly showed what heʼs feeling.

It seemed like he couldnʼt really judge someone without directly interacting with them. Duan Yu should know that best. After all, his team was composed of people who also couldnʼt be easily judged by their appearance alone.

”No need,” he said.

What kind of item would Yunyue have that their team wouldnʼt? Celestial was currently the biggest team in Arcadia right now. They also had the biggest treasury. Every month each member was required to contribute an item with a rarity of A or above to the treasury. So his team didnʼt lack any rare items at all.

Luo Yan peeked again from behind Shen Ji Yunʼs back. ”If Brother YUN is the leader, would Brother Uriel not complain anymore?”

If he was alone, he would definitely not bother to team up with anyone. Who knew when he would be backstab? But Shen Ji Yun was here now. He could leave his back uncheck because heʼs certain that Shen Ji Yun would deflect any attack that came his way.

This Urielʼs identity was quite convenient. If he or Shen Ji Yun ended up being critically wounded, having someone to heal them would be very advantageous. The problem was to make sure that he wouldnʼt double crossed them.

Shen Ji Yun frowned when he heard what the rabbit said. He glanced down at Luo Yan. He didnʼt know how to tell him that he didnʼt want him to call this Uriel guy ʼbrotherʼ. Just hearing him do so make Shen Ji Yun feel uncomfortable. He wondered why, when heʼs totally fine with him calling Bai Ze ʼbrotherʼ.

Ordering him to not call Uriel ʼbrotherʼ would just make him look… overbearing. He didnʼt want Luo Yan to think that heʼs the kind of person who would control the people around him just because he didnʼt like something. Besides, he had no right to dictate anything to Luo Yan. And now, he didnʼt know how he would relay what he wanted without sounding like some self-serving jerk.

Luo Yan, of course, noticed Shen Ji Yunʼs weird expression. Well, not exactly weird. Him being often expressionless, any change in his expression would appear weird. ”Brother Ji Yun, whatʼs wrong?”

At the end, Shen Ji yun could only say, ”Should you call him ʼbrotherʼ?”

Luo Yan thought about it. Yes, that kind of made sense. Thereʼs no need for him to call the guy ʼbrotherʼ. It took a while for him to get used to calling Shen Ji Yun ʼbrotherʼ. Despite this fairy face and shota build, he was really a 22-year-old soul inside. If he added the seven-year coma, then he would be 29 years old now. Heʼs clearly older than Shen Ji Yun. The same was true for this guy.

So why should he call an unrelated guy ʼbrotherʼ?

”Youʼre right. Then Iʼll just call him ʼUrielʼ,” he said.

Shen Ji Yun was clearly satisfied with this answer because of the small arc that appeared at the corner of his lips.

Duan Yu, who was watching all these on the side, was left speechless once again. Of all the much more important thing the elf said, like asking if he should agree to team up if YUN was the leader, YUN only noticed the word ʼbrotherʼ. Then he asked if the elf should call Duan Yu ʼbrotherʼ. After the elf agreed that he shouldnʼt, YUN gave him a pampering smile. Yes, pampering! Even if he only moved the corner of his mouth, the gentleness overflowing in those usually cold eyes was evident enough.

Somehow, this scene was actually quite familiar. Like he had already seen it a number of times before. Ah, thatʼs right. Their teamʼs captain and Zhong Hui often staged scenes like this. Considering the nature of Zhong Huiʼs feelings for Li Xu Min, did that mean that YUN was also playing for the other team and had that kind of feeling for the elf?

Duan Yu stared at the two and smiled secretly. If heʼs correct, then it could be worthwhile to stay and observe. It would be a substantial addition to his pool of information.

”Then I agree. YUN could be the leader and weʼll all team up,” he finally said.

Luo Yan raised his head towards Uriel. ”Really? Thatʼs good then,” he smiled.

Shen Ji Yun actually didnʼt like this decision. He wanted for most of the rewards to be given to Luo Yan. No matter. Heʼd just give all of it to the rabbit after.

”So, how should we actually establish a team?” Luo Yan asked, because it was not written in the rules. Seriously, this game, always finding ways to make it harder for the players even in the smallest details.

”With this,” Duan Yu said, raising his right hand and showing the blue crescent moon mark. ”It said on the rules that if we wanted to go out of the blue door, we could press this and a screen would appear asking us the solution we found for at least one of the mysteries. But thatʼs not the only thing it showed. Go and try it.”

Luo Yan did and pressed the crescent moon mark. A screen did appear. But insteada of one, there were two options inside.

[Input the solution of the Mystery here.]

[If you want to team up with other players, please input the name of the member/s here and indicate who the leader is. The name inputted by your team mate should be the same as yours for it to register.]

Luo Yan looked at the last sentence on the second option. He guessed thatʼs the way of the game to make sure no players would mess up. He clicked it, putting in his and Urielʼs name on the member/s slot and then put the name YUN on the leader slot.

”Iʼm done,” he said.

Shen Ji Yun nodded, silently saying that he was done too. Then they both looked at Uriel.

”In case you havenʼt noticed, I still donʼt know the elfʼs name,” Uriel said with a bit of a helpless tone.

”Itʼs Noctis,” Luo Yan said.

Duan Yu then entered their names. ”Done.”

”Should we share all the information we currently have?” Luo Yan asked. Then he noticed Shen Ji Yun glancing sharply at the door. ”Whatʼs wrong, Brother YUN?”

”The prince is coming.”
