Chapter 338: THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE MALE ELF (1/2)
”Okay, this would be my last question. Can you 100% assure me that this elf will know all the details regarding what happened to Finnea?” Luo Yan asked Alicia seriously.
Alicia didn't hesitate to give him one of her very enthusiastic nods. But after that, a flash of hesitation appeared on her face. As if she wanted to say something but wasn't sure if she could.
”If you don't directly mention the elf or say anything related to what happened to Finnea, I think you could freely speak,” Luo Yan said, encouraging her with a gentle smile.
”Is- is it really enough?” she finally asked.
”Of course. In fact, it's more than enough.” Luo Yan stood up and offered his hand to Alicia. ”Thank you, for your cooperation. What you did today would definitely help Finnea's family have that much needed closure.”
Alicia tremblingly reached out to his hand and then proceeded on bursting into tears once again. ”T-thank you.”
”We'll be leaving now. But please do stay in this room for a while until you calm down,” Luo Yan said, taking back his hand. ”Do you want me to ask someone to bring you tea?”
”N-no, it's okay. I'll be fine here.”
Luo Yan smiled and turned to the little fox and the big Qilin sitting on the opposite couch. He gestured his head towards the door, telling them that they should leave. Eclipse didn't hesitate to jump into his arms and Shen Ji Yun also stood up. The three walked out of the lounge room.
[Mashter, that was amazing! You took a lot of information from her without her even speaking!] – Eclipse said excitedly, his big sapphire blue eyes looking at him full of admiration.

[Yeah, sometimes I even wonder how I could be so amazing.] – Luo Yan said without even a hint of humbleness.
Eclipse suddenly went silent and just stared at his master. [Eclipse suddenly felt that he shouldn't praise Mashter too much.]
Luo Yan raised one of his brows. [Oh? And what is that?]
[Because Eclipse is afraid that Mashter's head would get bigger and bigger. A Mashter with a big head is not attractive.]
Luo Yan chuckled and flicked the little guy's forehead. [Smartass.]
Then he turned to Shen Ji Yun who had been quiet until now. He seriously looked like he didn't even listen to the conversation between him and Alicia. He wondered what was going through his head since earlier. Anyway, he better snapped out of it because they still had a lot of things to do.
”Brother Ji Yun, I think we should talk to the Leader again. Currently, he's the best source of information we have regarding that male elf,” he said.
A male elf who left Crimson Corps right after what happened to Finnea and who's also most probably a Mage – surely there wouldn't be that much who fit that description.
Although Shen Ji Yun looked like he wasn't paying attention earlier, well, he probably really wasn't, the things Luo Yan and that NPC discussed still entered his mind. He was good at multi-tasking that way. So, he nodded at Luo Yan's suggestion. And then, he thought of saying;

”Yan Yan, I'll do my best so we could finish the two tasks by tomorrow.”
Luo Yan stopped then raised his head to look at Shen Ji Yun's handsome face. Seeing the other being so serious, he suddenly had an urge to tease him.
”Then maybe next time Brother Ji Yun should help me in interviewing the NPCs,” he said with a playful smile. ”Who knows, maybe you'll do better than me.”
Realizing what Luo Yan meant by what he said, Shen Ji Yun's face quickly heated up. Turning his whole face into a ripe red tomato. Because it was like the other was saying that he wasn't much of help when it came to talking to NPCs. And now that he thought about it, whenever the two of them do tasks like this together, it was always Luo Yan who interacted with the NPCs.
He felt ashamed which made his face even redder.
