The Return Of The God Level Assassin [BL]

LUO JIN logged in to the game and immediately appeared inside Yunyue's main hall.  This was the third day that he played without Luo Yan during their usual playing time in the afternoon.  He was still busy studying.  He didn't want to disturb him so he no longer went to the library and just directly logged into the game.  Of course he didn't forget to tell the maids to give his brother a snack.  Only nutritious snack obviously.

When he arrived, Bai Ze and that girl, Su Yuqi was bickering again.  Or to be more precise, his cousin was bickering while Su Yuqi was completely ignoring him.  It made his cousin looked stupid.  Like he was doing a one-man show when there's clearly two performers on the stage.

Hmm… wait- why did this scene looked kind of familiar?

Then a scene of him being sarcastic and hurling low-key insults towards Shen Ji Yun and the other just ignoring him appeared suddenly in his mind.  Wasn't that exactly the same as this scene in front of him right now?  He clucked his tongue.  That guy.  He bet he was doing it on purpose so Luo Jin would look stupid while he would look mature and stable.  He probably just wanted to look good in front of his brother.

Then he'd do the same.  He'd no longer talk to him as if he was trying to pick a fight.  Well, at least not in front of his brother.  He could do it.  Probably.

Then Bai Ze finally noticed his arrival.  "Xiao Jin, is Xiao Yan not with you again?"

"I told you, Yan is busy studying," he answered.

"Ah, yes.  He'll take that test this coming Saturday, right?" Luo Jin nodded.  "Why did Uncle Wei Tian let Xiao Yan take a high school level exam?  Wouldn't it be too early?  I think it would be better to let him acclimate to everything first before putting him in a school environment."

Considering how Luo Yan only woke up a little over four months ago, Bai Ze firmly believed that it was still too early for him to be in a place where a lot of strangers were.  Especially if those stranger were teenagers.  Having recently been a teenager himself, he knew how one could be cruel in their words and their deeds.  

Luo Yan was so different.  Not only because of his experience but also because of his looks.  He would certainly attract bullies one after another.  He fell into a coma when he was 10, then woke up with an amnesia.  Wouldn't that put him in a great disadvantage?  He might not be able to deal with those potential bullies.

In here, Bai Ze had totally forgotten the video of Luo Yan in the game forum double-crossing three players that were trying to use him and Luo Jin.  He even forgot how he was sure that the white haired elf in the video was undoubtedly a black-bellied person.  Because after meeting Luo Yan in the game, all he could think of was how cute and sweet his cousin was.

"It's what Yan wanted." Of course they were all against it at first – Luo Jin, his eldest brother, and their father.  But Luo Yan persisted to convince them that that was what he wanted.  So, the three of them could only agree and support him.  Seriously, if his second brother put his mind into anything, he could probably convince even the most hard-hearted person.  "I know you're worried that he would be bullied.  But I also go to that school.  I won't let anyone bully him."

Bai Ze patted Luo Jin's shoulder.  "Good.  As his brother, you should protect him well."

Su Yuqi glanced at the two.  Although she didn't know the whole context of their conversation, what she got was that Luo Yan would go to a new school and they're worried he'd be bullied.  Could that really happen though?  She also saw that video on the game forum and also that other video of him fighting in the Arena.  Based on that, she could tell that he's more than capable to protect himself.  But she didn't say anything and just let the two talk.

"Where's cold-face?" Luo Jin thought of asking.

"Hey, don't call our captain that," Bai Ze scolded.  Though cold-face was really an apt description.  "He's busy with something." Probably. 

He tried to call him earlier.  But he simply sent him a message saying that he's talking to someone important so he shouldn't bother him.  Someone important?  Could it be Shen Ji Yun finally got himself a girlfriend?  But as soon as he thought that, he also immediately refuted it.  That friend of his with facial paralysis and who couldn't even be bothered to talk to other people even if his life depended on it?  Nope, definitely not.  Shen Ji Yun was probably talking to his uncle or something.

"Let's just go take task and make you stronger," Bai Ze added, changing the subject.

"Okay."

Truth to be told, Luo Jin really enjoyed performing task with his cousin.  He learned quite a lot.  In just three days, he went from level 40 to level 47.  He also now had six skills.  He wanted to become stronger.  Then he could also fight like a madman without worrying that he would be killed at any second.  Like his cousin.

"Yuqi, why don't you go with us?" Bai Ze turned to Su Yuqi and asked.

Su Yuqi appeared like she was considering it for a second and then she nodded.  She didn't have any particular thing he needed to do anyway.  So she stood up from where she was sitting and walked towards the two.

Bai Ze was about to say something but when he looked down and saw Su Yuqi standing next to Luo Jin, he suddenly had the urge to laugh.  Because both were looking up at him.  With their cute and soft appearance, add that to their short stature, it felt like two kids were waiting for him to give them candies.  Imagining their appearance in real life doing this, he finally couldn't help but laughed.

"Why are you suddenly laughing?" Luo Jin asked.

Su Yuqi only looked at Bai Ze as if he'd gone totally mental.

"I just thought of a brilliant idea.  Maybe the two of you could be our team's mascots.  Like a small couple!  You're both so cute, after all," Bai Ze said, his voice full of teasing.

Luo Jin's face immediately turned red.  "W-what are you saying?" He swore, there would definitely come a time when he could beat this cousin of his.

Su Yuqi gave Bai Ze the look.  The one where she was silently telling him with her eyes that his existence couldn't even be compared to an ant.  Then she turned to Luo Jin.

"Ignore him.  Let's just play without him."

Luo Jin looked at the girl with bubblegum pink hair and a beautiful pair of pinkish eyes.  Before he could think more, he only managed to say, "Okay."

Then Su Yuqi pulled Luo Jin out of the main hall.

Looking at their retreating backs, Bai Ze shouted, "Hey, I'm only joking!  Wait for me!"
