The Return of the God Level Assassin

TIME flew by in a flash. It was already the last weekend of April. It had been almost a month since Luo Yan asked Shen Ji Yun to tutor him in English. The result was more than what Luo Yan had expected. As clearly shown by his mock exam results. His foreign language exam points had increased to around 130-135, as opposed to the usual 110-120.

It was quite a strange phenomenon. Because Shen Ji Yun wasn't really doing anything out of the ordinary while tutoring him. Well, it didn't really matter as long as he's progressing. He might as well just account it to the power of love. Because how else could he explain this phenomenon?

As long as Shen Ji Yun continued to tutor him, surpassing the 140 points mark would no longer be impossible.

A wry smile appeared on his lips. Really, who would have thought that he would feel excited about that? Especially when he had already experienced taking the college entrance examination.

If another person was in his situation, most would probably spend more time complaining about why they had to take the exam again, rather than spending time studying. Honestly, if he didn't care about how the people close to him would react, Luo Yan would probably feel and act the same way.

But he wanted his family to be proud of him. He didn't want to disappoint them. That's why he's putting this much effort. And there's also the fact that he wanted to enter his old alma mater again.

Anyway, enough said. Today, Luo Yan logged in early in the game. And no, it's not because of their team's weekend travel. He had to go to the Yuexing Pavilion to prepare some things.

Arriving there, he was not surprised not to see customers inside the building. This was because the announcement was made a week ago that the pavilion would be closed for two days next week, which would be today and tomorrow. The reason he gave was because they would be doing maintenance to the building. Which was actually not the case at all, by the way.

The real reason for that was because team Yunyue planned to host a farewell party for Wu Xiang Ye and He Yu Lan. And the venue they chose for that was Yuexing Pavilion.

The two retired members had a flight scheduled to leave on Monday, the day after tomorrow. And so, the rest of team Yunyue decided that they should at least give them a farewell party. Since Luo Yan and Luo Jin were in a different city, the only way to do this farewell party with everyone was through the game.

Everyone decided to prepare everything in the morning. That's why they wouldn't do their usual travel schedule.

Luo Yan had to be the first one here to allow the others entry. Due to security reasons, once the pavilion was closed, other players aside from the owner were not allowed the enter the place. If someone tried to, they would be repeled immediately. Not only that, they would also be banned permanently from entering the pavilion.

The game system did not set this, but something that Luo Yan made himself. This was to prevent any troll players from making trouble in his establishment. Some players in Arcadia do livestreams where they would do these 'challenges' to catch more viewers. He didn't want to wait until one of them decided to 'challenge' his pavilion's security and decided to trespass.

It was a good thing he had a good foresight. Because not long after he set those security measures, one really did try to trespass. Of course, they were immediately repelled. Them being kicked out was recorded by one of their viewers. Then it kind of went viral in the game forum. Someone even made a meme out of it.

Some streamers who saw this thought they would gain more viewers by doing the same thing. So, there was a period when a bunch of streamers tried to do the same. But after finding out that those who tried doing this would be permanently banned from entering Yuexing Pavilion, the streamers who were trying to trespass finally decreased. And now, it almost totally stopped.

The main reason for this was because Yuexing Pavilion had now become a staple entertainment place in Arcadia. People visited not just to dine or drink but also to enjoy the performances of the NPCs working there. Additionally, a significant number of customers frequented Yuexing solely for the purpose of gambling at the casino.

Those contemplating trespassing likely decided it wasn't worth risking being banned from the pavilion. But that didn't mean Luo Yan would change the security. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry.

After entering his pavilion, he immediately allowed the enter of his teammates. Then he sent them a message, telling them that they could come. It didn't even take five seconds before the others teleported here.

"Should we begin?" Luo Yan asked.

Wu Xiang Ye began to pat the empty space beside him on the bed. Not feeling the warmth of another body he anticipated, his drowsiness faded, and he immediately opened his eyes. Yu Lan was nowhere to be found; he likely had already awakened much earlier.

Even though he still wanted to continue sleeping, he still forced himself to get up. He walked out of the bedroom and quickly saw Yu Lan. He was sitting at the dining table and was typing on his laptop with a serious expression on his face.

Wu Xiang Ye walked towards the other and kissed his cheek. "Good morning, Lan-er."

He Yu Lan only nodded, as if he was already used to this kind of greeting. He closed his laptop. "I already made breakfast, so let's eat."

Wu Xiang Ye smiled when he heard that. "Okay. Let me set the table then."

This had been their morning routine for the past five years. One cooked while the other would set the table and would also later wash the dishes. Even when they were in a hotel suite, it didn't change.

Wu Xiang Ye hoped that even when they were old and full of wrinkles, it would still stay the same.
