The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

[PLEASE, go back to the Gatekeeper of the moon elves' village to get your reward.]

After saying that, the cute Gamekeeper in a butler's suit disappeared. 

Was that it? Luo Yan felt a bit complicated. So, the curse of Finnea was actually not a 'curse' but probably just a rebound of the interrupted spell that Rhys put on her. Because of Lars interference, the spell that would force Finnea to fall in love with Rhys was broken. But because of that, Finnea died in the form of a 'curse' from the rebound of the failed spell and Lard sacrificed his life just so the man he loved wouldn't get the woman he wanted.

And then, there was Rhys who was clearly obsessed with Finnea. The other had already married and had a son, but instead of letting go of his affection for her, he personally developed a spell to make the other fall in love with him. To accomplish that, he didn't even hesitate to use his friend. A friend who just happened to be secretly in love with him.

Really, such a dog blood plot!

Luo Yan was once again convinced that the people involved in writing the scripts for tasks like this had huge brain holes. Or else, how could they write a script like this that's even more dog blood than those afternoon dramas? 

And was this game too open to the subject of same sex love? Maybe those people who's in charge in writing scripts just happened to be one of those, you know, people who loved to pair up a guy with another guy. With how this country's view on homosexuality, giving such background story to an NPC could already be considered a bold move. It could be seen that the president of Moonlight Media was very open-minded. 

With that thought, he suddenly remembered that Shen Ji Yun's current guardian was his uncle – the said president of Moonlight Media. With such an uncle, there probably wouldn't be that big of a problem even if Shen Ji Yun suddenly confessed to him one day that the one he liked was a boy. He would probably the type who wouldn't interfere with his nephew's business and would be supportive as long as the other was happy.

Well, at least they wouldn't have to worry about him if ever there came a time when the two of them were finally together. Luo Yan caught himself and shook his head. What's with that? It's as if it's already decided that the two of them would indeed end up together.

[Mashter, this elf is too vicious! Mashter should let Eclipse scratch himself to death!] 

The little fox's voice interrupted Luo Yan's thoughts in a timely manner. He glanced at the elf inside the barrier. He was back to his sluggish state. [Don't care about him. He'll soon die anyway.]

Eclipse still seemed dissatisfied but he no longer complained and just continued to glare at Rhys. Seeing this, Luo Yan could only smile helplessly and ruffled the fluffy head of the little guy.

The High Priest beside them who had been silent for quite a while now let out a long sigh. "Lars, that child. If he wasn't so impulsive and driven by emotion, things would probably not end up in such a tragic way. Maybe he and the moon elf would both still be alive now. What a shame."

Luo Yan didn't care about the High Priest's regret and sadness. Now that their task was done, there's no need to stay here any longer. So, he turned to the High Priest and showed a grateful expression.

"Thank you, High Priest, for letting us meet Rhys. Now, that we know the details of the things that happened back then, Finnea's husband and son would now have the closure that they needed."

"There's no need for thanks. I barely did anything. Besides, the Tower also held a certain responsibility for this matter," the High Priest said. "But there's a request I would like to make." 

"If it's something that we could do, then we won't hesitate to agree," Luo Yan said. 

"I hope that the two could keep the existence of the Heart of Edia a secret," the High Priest said with an expression full of seriousness.

"Of course," Luo Yan didn't hesitate to agree. 

He had a feeling if they didn't agree, this kind looking old man would probably kill them here. Thinking of the said 'Heart of Edia', he remembered the red crystal in Rhys' memories. If that were to be used as a core of a weapon, he wondered what kind of effect it would give. Would it make the people hit by the weapon fascinated with the owner of the weapon?

He wanted to laugh in amusement imagining that. But he tried his best not to show it on his face.

Then the High Priest turned to Shen Ji Yun. In which the other only nodded. 

[Mashter, Captain seemed to be in a bad mood.] – Eclipse said glancing at Shen Ji Yun.

Luo Yan also secretly glanced at Shen Ji Yun. The other was still expressionless, but he could see the gloominess between his eyebrows. He wasn't sure if he was still sulking because he didn't manage to convince the High Priest to let them meet Rhys of if he was still angry because of Luo Yan's reckless action earlier. 

Either way, Luo Yan already decided that he should coax the other. So, it's better to leave here as soon as they could.

"If there's nothing else, we won't disturb the High Priest any longer," he said.

"Then let me lead you out."

They walked out of the room. The High Priest personally led them out of the Tower. Luo Yan felt like it's probably because this NPC was afraid that they would wander off and look for the Heart of Edia if he didn't supervise them.

Once out of the Tower, Luo Yan told Eclipse to jump off from his shoulder. Then he turned to Shen Ji Yun. Face with the other's handsome face, he dashed forward and crashed into his arms. He stretched out his arms and hugged Shen Ji Yun's waist. He raised his head and then shamelessly sold meng.

"Brother Ji Yun, please don't be mad at Yan Yan."
