Chapter 136 - THE ICEBERG MELTING (2/2)

Unbeknownst to him, a small smile already crossed his lips.  Even his usual cold and emotionless gaze became gentler and warmer.  Well, at least while he's looking at Luo Yan.

Duan Yu, on the side, rolled his eyes at the two.  Seriously, these two.  He truly wanted to shout, 'please, go and get a room'.  But who would have thought that the famous iceberg of Yunyue could also melt?  He glanced at Noctis.  All thanks to this elf.  He really wondered what kind of medicine did he make YUN drank to make the guy all gooey for him.

”This is it,” he said and immediately stopped walking.

Luo Yan looked at the courtyard some distance away from where they stopped.  He could tell that this was a pretty huge courtyard.  He could even see a pond in the distance.  Seemed like even if the relationship between this Xinya and Lin Mo were all business like, she was still pretty well cared for.

”So, what's our next move?” he asked.  ”Should we just go straight in and then beat the shit out of Lin Mo to force him to confess his crime?  Or should we be smart about it and formulate a strategy first?”

”As much as I want to watch your violent act, I think we wouldn't get much from him if we beat him senseless,” Duan Yu said dryly.

”I think beating him would do just fine.”

”Of course you would,” Duan Yu said sarcastically when he heard YUN say that.  [Everything Noctis say and do is perfect in your eyes.]

Seriously, it's like he's with his captain and Zhong Hui right now.  Well, unlike this Noctis, Li Xu Min was definitely much easier to handle.

”I'll go and check the room first to see if he's really there,” Shen Ji Yun said.  ”You two, hide somewhere near.  It would be bad if some Wei NPC saw you two lurking around near the courtyard.”

”Wait- before you go, have this.” Duan Yu took out some kind of ball shaped object that was as big as a ping-pong ball.  ”If Lin Mo is there, throw it in the room where he's in.  It would produce smoke that would paralyze all the people in the room.  Making our job easier.”

”Why do you have something like that?” Luo Yan couldn't help but ask.

Duan Yu turned to Noctis and smiled.  ”Because unlike someone, my identity is very useful.”

Luo Yan also smiled back.  ”You know, I really want to punch you right now.  Probably knock some of your teeth too.”

Duan Yu turned back to YUN.  ”Team leader, our team mate here is threatening me again with bodily harm.  Can you please stop him from being so violent?”

Shen Ji Yun took the ping-pong ball like object from Uriel.  ”He's fine.  If he managed to beat you, then that means your identity is not so useful after all.” He then turned to the rabbit.  ”I'm going.”

”Okay.  Be careful, Brother YUN.”

Duan Yu changed his gaze to another direction, lest he be fed another plate of dog food by these two.
