Chapter 90 - MEETING AGAIN AT MOONRIVER (1/2)

LUO YAN and Luo Jin just finished another task.  They also both just leveled up to level 38.  They were planning to go back to Matlock Town when Luo Yan received a private message.  He opened it and read;

SHEN: [I just read your message.  Sorry if I wasn't able to answer immediately.  Regarding your question, could we meet?  I'm not really sure what you want to know about Arcadia's task system.  It would be better if we could talk face to face so I could give you a more satisfactory answer.  Is it okay?]

Message?  Ah, right.  He almost forgot that he sent that message asking Shen Ji Yun about Arcadia's task.  He didn't think much and answer;

Noctis: [Alright.  Let's meet at the Moonriver restaurant in Matlock Town.  My brother and I are just about to go back there.]

Not soon after, he received a reply;

SHEN: [Then I might arrive there much earlier than you two.  I'll go and reserve a box for us.]

Noctis: [Okay.]

Luo Yan then closed his Status Window.

”Ah Jin, let's go back to Matlock Town.  Brother Ji Yun is waiting for us at the Moonriver restaurant.”

Luo Jin's brows furrowed once he heard that name.  Brother Ji Yun?  That blue-eyed cold-face?  ”Why would he meet with us?”

”I sent him a message about a week ago?  I wanted to know more detailed information about the task here in Arcadia.  He just replied to me.”

Luo Jin's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard that.  That guy didn't even bother to reply and even waited for a week before he did.  Wouldn't that mean that he's looking down on his second brother?

And here, Luo Jin once again forgot how annoyed he was thinking that that guy was paying special attention to Luo Yan.  If he remembered, then he should probably be happy knowing that the guy ignored his brother.  Because that meant that he didn't have interest in him.  But all he could think of was that his brother was ignored and that was unforgivable.

”Forget about that guy.  We could just check about it on our own,” Luo Jin said indignantly.

”But why should we do that when there's a much easier way?” Luo Yan said, tilting his head.  ”If Ah Jin doesn't want to go, then I can just go on my own.”

Luo Jin sighed in annoyance.  ”Fine.  Let's go.”

Luo Yan smiled and then used a teleportation scroll to immediately transfer them to Matlock Town.  Arriving at the entrance of the town, the two started walking towards the direction of Moonriver restaurant.

Arriving there, Luo Yan told the waiter NPC who welcomed them that they were there for SHEN.  The NPC led them to a private box at the third floor and opened the door for them.

Luo Yan entered first followed by Luo Jin.  He saw Shen Ji Yun sitting quietly inside.  He was still wearing that all-black costume.  But the lower half of his face was not covered by a mask, completely showing his cold handsome face.

He stood up when he saw them.  ”Rab- I mean, Luo Yan.”

If Shen Ji Yun didn't have a perpetual expressionless face, he probably would have already grimaced by now.  What was he doing, suddenly standing up?  He even almost called him 'rabbit'.  It's not normal for him to suddenly be fl.u.s.tered for no reason.  Was it because he didn't see the rabbit – no, Luo Yan, for just two weeks?  But that reasoning was quite weird.  It didn't even make sense.

So he sat down, as if nothing happened.

Luo Yan raised one of his brows.  What was that 'rab' about?  But he still sat down opposite Shen Ji Yun while Luo Jin sat beside him.

”What food do you want to eat?” Shen Ji Yun asked.
