Chapter 779 THE 'HARD' WAY

Chapter 779 THE ‘HARD’ WAY

LUO YAN and Luo Jin arrived at their headquarters exactly 30 minutes before 12 in the afternoon. To Luo Yan’s surprise, the other three were still not there. Su Yuqi and Bai Ze, he could understand. But Shen Ji Yun not being here before them was a tad bit weird.

Normally, as long as they had activities together, Shen Ji Yun would arrive a few minutes before the appointed time. He didn’t want to be so narcissistic but he knew that the other was like that because he wanted to spend time with him sooner. So, you couldn’t really blame him if he was curious why the other was still not here.

”The Captain is still not here?” he asked Eclipse who immediately appeared after he and Luo Jin logged in.

They were at the garden. From their meeting yesterday, they decided to meet here. It would be much easier for them to teleport together in such a wide area. That’s why he asked Eclipse that. Because maybe Shen Ji Yun had gone inside the palace or something.

”No. Captain hasn’t arrived yet,” Eclipse said.

”Was there really a need to ask? It’s not like you would see that guy in a few minutes,” Luo Jin said with a roll of his eyes.

”You know, Ah Jin. If you roll your eyes one more time, they might just end up stuck in your brain,” Luo Yan said, teasing the other.

Eclipse laughed out loud after hearing that. “That would look super weird!” He then looked at Luo Jin. “Young master, you shouldn’t do that or you won’t be cute anymore.”

Luo Jin only glared at them before striding towards the nearby pavilion.

Luo Yan chuckled after seeing his brother’s reaction. Then, he gazed down at the little boy beside him. “Where’s Dusk and Rowan?”

”They’re off somewhere, fighting again,” Eclipse pouted. “That red lizard kept on challenging Uncle to a duel. He’s like, so obsess. Eclipse is starting to wonder whether he’s in love with Uncle or not.”

Luo Yan could understand why Rowan would challenge Dusk in a duel over and over again. Although the former had already forgotten his memory, he probably still had an instinctive dislike towards the latter. That’s why he couldn’t help but challenge Dusk to a fight. And since the other was the only dragon in this place, Rowan had no choice but to interact with Dusk despite his dislike of the other.

The real question here was how Eclipse ended up with such a conclusion. “What’s wrong with him being in love with Dusk?” he asked humoring the boy.

”Because I’m shipping Uncle with my Aunt! How could a 3rd party suddenly appear from nowhere?” Eclipse said in a tone as if he was very affronted by that possibility.

Luo Yan laughed out loud when he heard that. “Don’t worry, I don’t think Rowan had that kind of feelings for Dusk.”

”He’d better be,” Eclipse said with a huff. “By the way, Mashter. Can’t Eclipse go with you all during today’s dungeon exploration?”

Luo Yan ruffled the boy’s hair. “Sorry, Eclipse. No can do.”

The teleportation scroll they had could only accommodate five people. Although he’s unsure if an NPC pet could be counted, but it wouldn’t hurt to be careful. It’s much more important that the five main members of their team could go without a hitch.

Eclipse immediately showed a disappointed expression.

”Hey, don’t be sad. We can go to a trip somewhere after,” he added to comfort the other.

Eclipse’s face immediately brightened when he heard that. “Really? Then, Captain should go with us. It would be like a family trip.”

Luo Yan raised his brow. “So, the Captain and I are the parents and you’re our kid?”

”You’re like Eclipse’s second parents. So, yeah.”

Luo Yan just smiled. “Okay, we’ll schedule this family trip.”

Eclipse jumped up in excitement. “Yey!”

Fifteen minutes later, both Bai Ze and Su Yuqi arrived one after another. But still no sign of Shen Ji Yun.

”Did that guy overslept or something?” Luo Jin asked.

All of four them were now sitting at the pavilion. Eclipse had gone off to the kitsunes’ village. They were now only waiting for Shen Ji Yun to arrive.

”Nah, that’s impossible,” Bai Ze quickly rejected refused what Luo Jin said. Especially since Luo Yan was here. Knowing the other, he would have definitely woken up very early because of excitement. “Something might have come up on his end.”

”Don’t be too impatient,” Luo Yan said to his brother. “We still have plenty of time. I’m sure Brother Ji Yun will be here before 12.”

As soon as he said that, a slit in the air appeared. It expanded slowly until it revealed a figure. A tall man with long dark purple hair and a pair of amethyst beast like eyes.

”I’m sorry, I’m late,” Shen Ji Yun said, walking towards the pavilion.

”It’s alright Brother Ji Yun. There’s still more than 10 minutes before 12 anyway,” Luo Yan said.

As Shen Ji Yun heard Luo Yan speak, he couldn’t help but go back to the conversation he had with his uncle earlier. It’s actually the reason why he was late. Now, going back to that conversation, his uncle said if he chose the ‘hard’ way, then, he must learn to be more observant.

He should observe Luo Yan’s body language every time the other interacted with him. And then judged appropriately whether Luo Yan’s actions as he interacted with him were truly the same with how he acted with others close to him. But there’s more. He should also learn how to ‘flirt’. And then see if Luo Yan’s reaction to his ‘flirting’ was positive or not.

After he heard that last part, Shen Ji Yun understood why his uncle said that it would be hard for him to do. Because just how the heck would one go about flirting with the person they liked?

His thoughts were promptly interrupted by what Su Yuqi said next.

”It’s almost time. Let’s go.”

Shen Ji Yun immediately cleared his mind and decided to think about his problem once they finished raiding the dungeon.
