The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 935: TEAM MEETING (2)

WHEN YUN made that announcement, there was a small commotion in the team. Because everyone knew their captainʼs secret crush on YUN. They had been walking on eggshells around her since then. They were also trying their best not to mention YUN around her.

Although their captain didnʼt show any particular reaction to the news, anyone who knew her enough could tell that she was affected by it.

Xia Li felt sorry for the captain, but thereʼs a side of her that was actually hoping that the ʼpartnerʼ YUN was referring to was actually Noctis. Yes, thatʼs a bit horrible of her. After all, Zhu Lian was probably really heartbroken because of that. But her fujoshi heart just couldnʼt help itself from wishing that her ship would sail.

She could probably ask Bai Ze about it. But that would be encroaching on otherʼs privacy. Which she had no right to, considering that she and YUN were not even friends.

Since that announcement, sheʼd been drawing a lot of fan-arts about the two. All of them stored in her cloud account and hadnʼt yet seen the light of the day. Many of her followers had been asking her when she would upload a new NightCloud fan-art. But she still hadnʼt posted anything for a few days now since YUNʼs announcement.

Because she wasnʼt sure who YUNʼs partner was, she felt that posting a fan-art of him and Noctis would be a kind of disrespect. Because what if Noctis wasnʼt YUNʼs partner? Then, wouldnʼt she indirectly hurt someone just because of her inclination?

”Really, what could Sister possibly see in that YUN?” Zhu Jingyi mumbled. ”She could do a lot better if she only stop moping over that guy.”

Xia Li once again glanced at Zhu Jingyi. Since she was the closest to the other, she was the only one who heard it.

”You know, technically, YUN hasnʼt really done anything to Captain,” she said. ”So, itʼs kind of unfair to judge him like that.”

Zhu Jingyi frowned. Of course, she knew that. But she really didnʼt care. That guy made her sister cry. That alone was enough for her to hate YUN.

She still remembered how her sister cried during that one incident at Yunxing Pavilion. YUN had said something to her sister that made her cry. Either he rejected her that night, or he said something harsh that was enough for her sister to bawl her eyes out like that.

Whatever it was, it was still that guyʼs fault. So, could you blame her for disliking him?

”I hope we can face them during preliminaries,” Zhu Jingyi muttered. ”Then, Iʼll make sure to kick Yunyueʼs ass.”

”That would be a bit hard since youʼre still not part of the regular line up,” Xia Li commented.

Zhu Jingyi glared at her. ”Which side are you on, really?”

Xia Li raised her hands as if in surrender. ”Hey, Iʼm just saying. And Iʼm always on the side of fairness. But if you really want to be part of the line-up, then I suggest you leveled up your training.”

”Donʼt worry, Iʼm already doing that.”

At a castle that looked like a place where Dracula would come out at any second…

”So, Yunyue has really registered for the next season of the Cup?” Xu Ru asked in a mixture of amazement and disbelief.

He had been abroad for the past month. It was a European tour. Itʼs not exactly for pleasure but for educational purposes. He was there to take photos that he would exhibit for his final graduation project.

It might be weird for some that a person whoʼs in his last year of university could actually go on a trip outside the country at the middle of a semester. But heʼs a talented photography major, who also happened to be very rich. So, itʼs not really that weird.

He hadnʼt been updated in the things that were happening in the game. Now that he returned, he suddenly heard that Yunyue had registered for the next season of the Cup.

”Yes,” Qin Rushi answered. ”Theyʼre the first oneʼs who cleared the newly released dungeon. Theyʼre obviously trying to get enough reputation points to be able to participate in the Cup.”

The newly released dungeon? It seemed that Yunyue still hadnʼt lost their touch. – Xu Ru thought.

”And, well, Yuqi told me about it when I asked her,” Qin Rushi added.

”Ah, yes. Youʼre friends with that twerp,” Xu Ru said with an annoyed face.

He still couldnʼt forget what she and that other twerp did to him. Putting a bounty on his head, and even doing that to him on the ball after the Rookie Carnival. Well, it seemed that he would have his revenge soon once the Cup started.

”Donʼt smile like that. You look creepy,” Qin Rushi commented while looking at Xu Ruʼs smiling face.

Xu Ru chuckled and put his arm around Qin Rushiʼs shoulders. ”Princess, how can you say that? We havenʼt seen each other in a month and youʼre already calling me ʼcreepyʼ? How heartless. Didnʼt you miss me at all?”

Qin Rushi only gave Xu Ru a dry look. ”Remove your hand or Iʼll cut it.”

”Aw… Princess, how can you be so mean?” Xu Ru said, acting as if he was heartbroken.

Qin Rushi only gave him a pointed glance.

Xu Ru raised both hands as if in surrender. ”Fine, fine.”

”Since youʼre already done with your little theatrics, I believe you would want the team to do some training, am I right?”

”You know me so well,” Xu Ru said giving the other a thumbs-up. ”Tell the others that we will have extensive training at Heavenʼs Spire.”

”You do know itʼs hard to reserve a room, much less a floor at the Spire during this season.”

Xu Ru only grinned at Qin Rushi. ”But knowing you, I know you have long reserved a floor for us.”

Qin Rushi scoffed. ”Just be thankful that Iʼm always ready.”

”Thatʼs why I love you, princess,” Xu Ru said with a wink.

Qin Rushi rolled her eyes. ”Whatever.”
