The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

Chapter 121 - A TEAM OF THREE



"SO, you don't even plan to give any sort of compensation?" Duan Yu asked.

Shen Ji Yun just shrugged.  The action almost equivalent to saying 'yes, I don't plan on doing that at all'.  "But if you insist, you can name an item you wanted and I'll give it to you once this event is over," he said but you could still hear in his voice that he's 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 wasn't 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 didn't care much about anything.  Someone who wouldn't 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 he's feeling.  

It seemed like he couldn't really judge someone without directly interacting with them.  Duan Yu should know that best.  After all, his team was composed of people who also couldn't be easily judged by their appearance alone.  

"No need," he said.  

What kind of item would Yunyue have that their team wouldn't?  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 didn't lack any rare items at all.

Luo Yan peeked again from behind Shen Ji Yun's 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 he's certain that Shen Ji Yun would deflect any attack that came his way.

This Uriel's 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 wouldn't double crossed them.  

Shen Ji Yun frowned when he heard what the rabbit said.  He glanced down at Luo Yan.  He didn't know how to tell him that he didn't want him to call this Uriel guy 'brother'.  Just hearing him do so make Shen Ji Yun feel uncomfortable.  He wondered why, when he's totally fine with him calling Bai Ze 'brother'.

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

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

At the end, Shen Ji yun could only say, "Should you call him 'brother'?"  

Luo Yan thought about it.  Yes, that kind of made sense.  There's no need for him to call the guy 'brother'.  It took a while for him to get used to calling Shen Ji Yun 'brother'.  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.  He's clearly older than Shen Ji Yun.  The same was true for this guy.  

So why should he call an unrelated guy 'brother'?  

"You're right.  Then I'll just call him 'Uriel'," 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 'brother'.  Then he asked if the elf should call Duan Yu 'brother'.  After the elf agreed that he shouldn't, 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, that's right.  Their team's captain and Zhong Hui often staged scenes like this.  Considering the nature of Zhong Hui's 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 he's 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 we'll all team up," he finally said.

Luo Yan raised his head towards Uriel.  "Really?  That's good then," he smiled.  

Shen Ji Yun actually didn't like this decision.  He wanted for most of the rewards to be given to Luo Yan.  No matter.  He'd 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 that's 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 that's the way of the game to make sure no players would mess up.  He clicked it, putting in his and Uriel's name on the member/s slot and then put the name YUN on the leader slot.

"I'm done," he said.

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

"In case you haven't noticed, I still don't know the elf's name," Uriel said with a bit of a helpless tone.

"It's 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.  "What's wrong, Brother YUN?"

"The prince is coming."
