WHEN Luo Yan entered the main hall of the palace, Luo Jin was already there. He looked quite impatient. Knowing him, he’s probably expecting that Luo Yan would be here and then beca increasingly annoyed while waiting.
Like Luo Yan, his younger brother had also changed his costu. But unlike the first ti where he was the one who picked the costu for him, this ti, he picked his own costu. He was wearing a black shirt over a white trench vest with green lining, a brown holster belt where he could put his guns, a black fitted leather pants, a pair of black boots, and a long green scarf.
Although his new costu now no longer gave off a cute vibe, it still suited him quite well. Now he looked like a cool little gunslinger.
"Ah Jin," he called.
Luo Jin turned around. "Did you only log in now?"
He knocked on his room earlier but didn’t receive an answer. So he thought his brother already logged in the ga. But then when he logged in, he didn’t find Luo Yan in the main hall.
"I was outside for a bit," Luo Yan said before walking towards one of the seats and sitting down.
Luo Jin was about to ask him about the package that he received from Shen Ji Yun when he saw the said expressionless iceberg walked into the main hall. He imdiately changed his mind. There’s no way he would ask while this guy was around. What would he do if this guy thought that he’s curious or sothing? Which was not the case at all.
He just wanted to know what kind of gift Shen Ji Yun sent to Luo Yan and make sure that it’s not sothing inappropriate. But then again, this guy probably didn’t even know what ’inappropriate’ materials were. For almost a month of being a mber of Yunyue, Luo Jin noticed that their captain was like a blank slate. Soone who didn’t know much about emotions. Not only that, but also so things that should be considered as common sense to most people.
That should relieve Luo Jin of his suspicion that Shen Ji Yun had ulterior motives regarding his second brother. But he just really couldn’t let go of that idea. Especially when that expressionless iceberg did things that supported it. Like today, sending a gift to Luo Yan. Ordinary guy friends wouldn’t send gifts just because the other one passed his exam or sothing. Even their cousin, Bai Ze, didn’t send one.
Well, if he’s second brother didn’t look like that, he probably wouldn’t overreact like this. But the problem was, Luo Yan was indeed a big beauty. It’s only right for Luo Jin to let his guard up against any pest that would try to get close to brother.
When he saw that Shen Ji Yun was about to sit beside Luo Yan, he stood up and quickly took over the seat he was planning to sit on. Luo Jin smirked at Shen Ji Yun who just ignored him and sat down on the other side of Luo Yan. He almost couldn’t maintain his expression. Why did he almost forget that this was a long table that had many seats on it?
Luo Yan glanced at his brother who looked extrely mortified. Of course, he witnessed what just happened. He knew his brother well enough to understand why he did what he just did. He probably just didn’t want Shen Ji Yun to sit beside him.
"Have you already decided on where you would build your Yuexing Pavilion?" Shen Ji Yun suddenly asked.
Luo Yan turned to him. "I’m thinking of building it on Goldcrest City. But I haven’t had the ti to buy a plot of land yet."
When he got the Yuexing Pavilion, Luo Yan’s first choice of location had always been Goldcrest City. Because players level 61 and above could enter this city. This made up the majority of the players here in Arcadia. These players were not casual players who were only there to experience a virtual life. Most of them were playing the ga seriously. Which ant that they had a lot of crystal coins to spare. And that also ant more paying custors.
He’s just wasn’t sure if there would still be an empty plot of land there. Considering how the city was like a huge business hub for other players that had their own business in the ga. That’s the first thing he noticed - that there’s a lot of establishnts owned by players – when he entered Goldcrest.
Shen Ji Yun nodded, agreeing with Luo Yan’s decision. "When are you planning to buy a plot of land in Goldcrest?"
"I’m thinking this Saturday," Luo Yan answered, since there’s no school and he could play all he wanted. Besides, it’s better to look for a plot of land during the day instead of night. Which he could only do during weekends.
"Then let accompany you," Shen Ji Yun said. "I’ll search beforehand for any empty plot of land in Goldcrest."
"Is that okay? Wouldn’t that take too much of your ti?"
"It’s okay." Shen Ji Yun would just ask soone from the programming departnt if there’s a pri location in Goldcrest where a new building could be built.
Luo Yan looked at Shen Ji Yun. It seed like it wouldn’t really cause any problem for him to do that. "Then I’ll leave it to Brother Ji Yun."
Listening to the conversation of the two, Luo Jin frowned a bit. Why did it feel like he’s just an extra here? He was about to speak and insert one word or two when the door of the main hall suddenly opened. Bai Ze walked inside.
"Oh, almost everyone is here," he said cheerfully, sitting on the opposite side of the three. "But why are you three all huddled there together?" he asked, a bit confused.
There were a lot of free seats in the long table. And yet the three were still sitting close to each other.
"Has Brother Ze found a pet yet?" Luo Yan asked instead.
These past two weeks, Bai Ze had been fixated in looking for a pet. But so far, he hadn’t found one yet to ta.
Bai Ze let out a disappointed sigh. "No. I’m actually starting to lose hope."
There were actually a lot of strong monsters out there that he could choose as a pet. With his level, he could have his pick of the litter. But the problem was, he’s just not feeling them. Maybe just like Luo Yan, he should look for a beast egg that he could raise.
"I believe that Brother Ze will soon find one." Luo Yan pumped his fist. "You can do it!"
Bai Ze was imdiately encouraged. Luo Yan was really good for his spirit. "Thank you, Xiao Yan. Your Brother Ze will definitely do his best." Then he suddenly thought of an important matter. "Xiao Yan, Xiao Jin, you guys will co and visit for Mid-Autumn Festival, right?"
Luo Yan rembered that his father ntioned that the whole family would go to B City to visit her mother’s family and celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with them. "Yes. Dad said we will."
"We’ll probably arrive there by next week Friday afternoon," Luo Jin added, since that was the first day of the three-day festival.
"That’s good. Grandpa will surely be happy to see you guys," Bai Ze said and then turned to Luo Yan. "Especially you, Xiao Yan."
Shen Ji Yun’s ears perked up when he heard the conversation between the three. Should he drop by at the Bai household during the Mid-Autumn Festival?
