The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

JUST as he planned, Luo Yan logged into the game after lunch. He appeared in his office at the pavilion. This was where he logged out last night because he planned to check how the first day of availing of membership cards was going. 

He was actually a few minutes late than he anticipated. It was because when Luo Jin heard that he was planning to finish his assignments for the rest of the day, he also wanted to do his assignment with him. Of course, he had to decline. He won't be doing that, after all. So, he had to squeeze a few tears here and there just so his younger brother wouldn't be suspicious. 

If that one found out that he would be meeting up with Shen Ji Yun, he would definitely make a fuss. Then their older brother would hear about it. Knowing Luo Ren, he wouldn't get mad after knowing that he lied. He would probably just blame everything on Shen Ji Yun. Then if even their father joined in, it would definitely become more of a mess. Just like Luo Ren, the one their father would blame was definitely Shen Ji Yun. 

So, to avoid that, it's better if Luo Jin didn't find out. Maybe he should ask Su Yuqi to go do task with his younger brother more often. Luo Jin would surely have no time to care about him if that happened. 

Luo Yan shook his head. He still wasn't sure what his feelings for Shen Ji Yun was. And yet they were already sneaking around like two thieves. What more so if the two of them really did start dating? No, wait. Why was he thinking as if that was already something set in stone? He shook his head more vigorously. This kind of mindset would just affect his decision in the long run.

His train of thought was cut-off when Eclipse suddenly appeared in front of him, jumping effortlessly on his shoulder.

[Mashter, Eclipse missed you! Did you miss me?] – the little fox asked while rubbing his cheek on Luo Yan's.

Luo Yan chuckled. The mess in his brain just now quickly cleared up. His pet was truly one happy pill. [What are you saying? We just saw each other last night.] 

[But Eclipse was just telling the truth.] – Eclipse said as if pouting. 

Luo Yan ruffled his soft fur. [Yes, yes, it's your master that's wrong.]

[Then Eclipse forgive you.]

Luo Yan couldn't help but chuckle again. [So, did you do the mission I left for you?]

[Of course! Eclipse had been peeking from the ceiling of that side courtyard since this morning.]

The side courtyard Eclipse mentioned was a place on the northeastern part of the pavilion. It was a good distance away from the main building that players didn't have to go through the pavilion just to get there. They could just directly go there, walking under rows of flower arches. Originally, it was supposed to be a private hall that was specifically reserved for the most VIP customer. But he decided to convert it to some kind of information center where players could avail and renew the pavilion's membership cards. 

[Then, what's the situation inside, can you tell me?] – he asked.

[The place has been brimming with people since early this morning. If not for Mashter's diligent employees, the place would probably be in chaos by now.] – Eclipse answered. [When I left just now, there were still quite a lot of people.]

Luo Yan smiled triumphantly. It seemed like his prediction was correct. But even if Eclipse already reported to him the situation at the side courtyard, he still wanted to check it for himself. 

[Good job.] – he said, giving Eclipse his favorite Mana fruit.

Then he walked out of the office and climbed down the stairs to the first floor.

[Mashter, are we meeting up with Captain?] – Eclipse asked while nibbling on the Mana fruit.

[Why are you talking about the captain again? Do you really prefer him over your master?] – he asked teasingly.

[Although Captain is very handsome, Eclipse is someone very loyal. Eclipse only considered Mashter as his only mashter.] – the little fox said sticking out his little chest as if very proud of what he just said. [But that's not what I meant, Mashter. Eclipse was talking about your appointment with Captain. Don't tell Eclipse that you already forgot about it?]

[Of course not. I'm just surprise that Eclipse still remember it.]

[Eclipse has a very good memory. Whenever Mashter and Captain made plans to go on a date, Eclipse will always remind Mashter just in case you forgot about it. That way, your relationship will reach the next level faster.]

Luo Yan laughed dryly. Who exactly was going on a date with who? Seriously, if someone told him right now that his pet was programmed by Shen Ji Yun to be his exclusive wingman, Luo Yan might just believe them.

When he reached the exit, he took out the Invisibility Cloak from his Items Tab and covered him and Eclipse with it before going out. This way, no one would see him going out of the main building and observing the things that was happening at the side courtyard.

[Mashter, why are you covering us with a cloth?]

[This is not an ordinary cloth. When you're covered with it, it could make us invisible.]

[Does that mean that no one could see Eclipse and Mashter right now?]

[That's right.]

[Then we could go to restaurants and eat whatever we want without paying it as long as we're covered with this, right?] – Eclipse asked excitedly.

Luo Yan laughed and flicked the little fox's forehead. [That's called stealing. And no, we won't do that.]

Eclipse pouted, rubbing his flicked forehead with his little paw. [Eclipse was only joking.]

Luo Yan just shook his head and walked towards the side courtyard.

Just as what Eclipse reported earlier, the place was still filled with people. There was no chaos. Everyone lined-up properly to get their membership cards. There were also NPCs walking around. Not just to regulate the traffic inside but also to offer help to those players who needed it.

He nodded in satisfaction. His employees were indeed competent. 

Then notification sound for having received a message sounded in his ears. Luo Yan opened it and unknowingly smiled when he saw who it was from.
