The Return Of The God Level Assassin

AFTER taking his usual morning shower, Luo Yan went out of his room and walked straight to the dining room. His father and older brother were already there. Luo Jin was surprisingly not there. Because most often than not, whenever he came to the dining room every morning, Luo Jin would already be here together with their father and older brother.

"Good morning, Dad, Brother," he greeted, smiling both at his father and older brother.

"Good morning, Xiao Yan."

"Good morning, Yan Yan."

His father and Luo Ren greeted him respectively.

Luo Yan sat on the left side of his brother. "Ah Jin is still not awake?"

"Yes. Apparently, according to the maids, he had been awake playing games until midnight," Luo Ren answered.

Luo Yan was slightly surprised. Luo Jin actually played until midnight? Did that mean that he didn’t manage to solve a single Mystery until almost the time of the deadline? Now he’s intrigued what kind of mystery his little brother was tasked to solve. Did he encounter some kind of problem along the way?

Despite Luo Jin’s delinquent like attitude, he’s actually really smart. As evidence of him being the number one student in his year. Just what kind of mystery would give him so much trouble?

"So, we probably shouldn’t wait for him and just eat," Luo Ren added.

He then proceeded on giving Luo Yan a bowl of congee and putting a steamed bun on his plate.

Luo Yan smiled brightly at his brother. "Thank you, Brother."

Luo Ren gave him a gentle smile.

Of course, their father wouldn’t let himself lose. He put a dumpling on his plate and poured him a glass of soy milk.

"Thank you, Dad."

His father smiled back and affectionately stroked his head.

"Don’t you think your brother is getting a bit addicted to this game?" Luo Wei Tian asked after a while.

"I’m sure Xiao Jin has a sense of proportion," Luo Ren said.

"Brother is right, Dad," Luo Yan seconded. "Besides, Ah Jin doesn’t often play this late. It’s only because we had to do a very difficult task last night."

"A task? Like some kind of quest?" Luo Ren asked, a bit of interest in his voice.

Luo Yan nodded. "It’s very fun, we were asked to solve mysteries."

"Mysteries? What kind of mysteries?" Luo Wei Tian asked, also becoming a bit interested.

"Oh," Luo Yan stopped and then smiled again. "It’s like a brain teaser. Very user friendly."

He couldn’t possibly tell them the truth. That the mystery involved some ancient political intrigues, assassination, and most of all, him, playing a role of a courtesan. That last one would definitely make them berserk. They’d probably not even allow him to play anymore.

"I heard a lot of praise about this game. They said that the game is truly life like," Luo Ren said.

"It is. It’s like a beautiful medieval fantasy world. Even the world taste so real."

Looking at his brother’s excited look, Luo Ren couldn’t help but say, "Should I also try and play this game?"

Luo Yan almost choked on the bun he was eating. Good thing he managed to turn his expression back to normal. "But isn’t Brother busy?"

If his older brother also played the game, then he would find out the violent, sometimes even bloody and gory, side of it. Then, of course, he would let their father know about that. They might think that the game was not appropriate for him and Luo Jin to play. It would definitely take a while before Luo Yan could convince them otherwise.

"That’s why I’ll just visit and look around," Luo Ren said, drinking coffee. "Should Yan Yan be my tour guide?"

Luo Yan let out a sigh of relief. "I’d be happy to. But Brother should tell me first when you plan to log in so I could prepare."

Hearing the conversation of his two sons, Luo Wei Tian felt a bit left out. If Luo Ren also go into this game, wouldn’t he be out of place once the three started a conversation about it? Should he also go and visit the game? But he’s already too old for that. There’s a possibility that he could even make a fool of himself. How could he destroy his majesty in front of his sons?

"Ah Ren, you’re still busy with your current project, remember?" he reminded. "Especially now that you’re on the crucial part of the negotiation."

"I know, Dad. It would probably take another month or two before I could truly be work free."

"Don’t worry, Brother. Once you’re work free, I’ll take you around Arcadia," Luo Yan reassured Luo Ren.

"I’ll definitely take you up on that," Luo Ren said, smiling and pouring him another glass of soy milk.

Luo Wei Tian cleared his throat. "Xiao Yan, are you ready for your exam tomorrow?"

Oh, that’s right. Luo Yan almost forgot that the exam was tomorrow. "Yes, Dad. I’m as ready as I can be. Don’t worry, I will definitely make you proud."

Luo Wei Tian smiled and pinched his son’s cheek. "You always make me proud. You and your brothers. So whatever result you get, I would never be disappointed."

Luo Yan felt warmth flowing in his heart. He was happy hearing what his father said. But he would still do his best to get the highest score he could get. Aside from his pride as someone who already graduated university once, he also really wanted to make his father and brothers proud.

He smiled back at his father. "Thank you, Dad."

He’s already done with all the reviews he could do. All that was left was to take that exam. And he was so ready. In fact, he was very excited for it.

But first, he’d play a bit for today. He still had to let his Little Ancestor soaked in the [Ambrosia Pod]. But before that, he’d have to ask Luo Jin first what happened to his task yesterday. He had a feeling that it would definitely be a very interesting conversation.
