LUO REN was feeling surprisingly excited for some unknown reason. No, the reason wasn’t really that unknown. He had an idea on why. He was not just at the point where he could admit it without care.


    He and Luo Yan teleported from that ce called Olkdale. The feeling wasn’t really the best. Like he was suddenly thrown into a roller coaster without his permission. If he had a weak stomach, he would definitely throw up.


    After a few seconds of that, no, it’s probably only a second, he just felt that it’s longer, they arrived at their destination. What he saw first was an ancient jade pce. The only thing he could think of was, what a beautiful architecture.


    "Yan Yan, is this your team’s headquarters?" he asked.


    "Yes. Sister Yuqi was the one who designed it," Luo Yan answered.


    ording to Shen Ji Yun, Su Yuqi was not the one who came up with the idea but one of the two former members of the team. Since Su Yuqi knew how to paint, that person forced her to draw the design of the pce ording to their idea. And thus, this ancient pce was born.


    Luo Ren nodded, remembering that this Su Yuqi was an art student.


    "Shall we go inside?" Luo Yan asked.


    "Let’s go."


    And the two brothers walked inside the pce.


    Luo Ren’s opinion didn’t really change much once they walked inside. The architecture was still top notch. He followed his brother until they reached a huge door. He knew that the people waiting for them were all beyond that door. That’s why as his brother opened the door, he was suddenly filled with anticipation.


    The moment they entered, the first thing he did was to scan the whole area. It seemed to be a big hall. At the center of it was a round table where five people were seating. All of them with varied looks and costumes.


    Of course, he quickly recognized the kid with ck hair and red eyes. Who else could it be but his youngest brother? There was also the guy with red-orange hair and a pair of lion ears on top of his head. It took Luo Ren a few seconds to get pass the color of his hair, eyes, and skin, as well as those ears and tail. Once he did, then he recognized his cousin – Bai Ze.


    Although he didn’t want to, he also recognized the one sitting at the farthest with long dark purple hair and some kind of golden horns on top of his head. That expressionless face could only belong to Shen Ji Yun. Besides, he was the only one staring intently at Luo Yan. That’s already a huge tell.


    The only ones he couldn’t recognize immediately were the tall guy and the six, seven-year-old young girl. The tall guy had messy ck hair and a pair of sharp eyes. Since he didn’t have pointed ears, horns, or animal ears, he most likely belonged to the human race. The girl, on the other hand, had bubblegum-pink hair and butterfly wings behind her back.


    Since she was the only girl here, Luo Ren’s first thoughts was that she was Yu Jiao. But he quickly denied that because of the overwhelming indifference in the girl’s pink eyes. He would probably believe it more if someone told him that this girl was Su Yuqi.


    Could it be that Yu Jiao was still not here?


    That thought waspletely shattered by Luo Yan’s next move.


    "Jiao Jiao!" his brother called running towards the tall guy with messy ck hair. "You’re already here."


    The tall guy shyly nodded.


    Luo Ren felt like he was just struck by lightning on the spot. That expression was so familiar that it felt like that the blinders in his eyes lifted. Making him clearly see the face of the tall ’guy’.


    That handsome visage and that sharp eyes, how could he not immediately see that they were simr to Yu Jiao? Probably mainly because his brain never really registered the possibility that he might see Yu Jiao in this... male form.


    He doesn’t really know how to react on that. He’s not even sure what he’s feeling about it.


    [Mashter, Brother Ren seems to be in shock.]


    Luo Yan heard Eclipse’sment in his mind. He nced back and his older brother did seem shocked. He wasn’t really surprised seeing him like that. After all, he just saw the very handsome male avatar of Yu Jiao. He could imagine how shocking that must have been for him.


    [Brother was probably just too surprised seeing how handsome Jiao Jiao is.] – he just said offhandedly.


    [Mashter refers to Vulcan? Eclipse also thinks that he’s very handsome.]


    "Brother Ren, you’re really here," Bai Ze said, pulling Luo Ren from his thoughts.


    Bai Ze was a bit shocked and astounded. Because his older cousin had never been the type to like any types of video games. Or any games at all for that matter.


    Luo Ren pushed back the surprise he got on seeing Yu Jiao’s game avatar. He walked towards the round table.


    "Look at your reaction. It’s like me being here was such a great miracle," he said to Bai Ze.


    "Because this is you we’re talking about!" Bai Ze eximed. "When we were younger, every time I try to ask you to y video games with me, you always refused."


    "Maybe I just simply don’t want to y with you," Luo Ren said, teasing his cousin a bit.


    "I’d probably do the same if I’m your cousin," Su Yuqi seconded.


    "As if I would ever ask you to y with me," Bai Ze said, rolling his eyes at Su Yuqi.


    "I would," Luo Jin said out of the blue. Then as if realizing his blunder, his whole face suddenly turned bright red. "I mean, I would not mind ying with you two." Realizing again that what he said just sounded stupid, he quickly took it back. "Forget it. I actually didn’t mean anything."


    Su Yuqi looked amusedly at Luo Jin. She leaned over and whispered, " I actually think you’d be a fun ymate."


    Feeling Su Yuqi’s breath on his ear, the tips of Luo Jin’s ears became even redder.


    Luo Ren ignored the shenanigans of the three and simply gazed down at the shy young ’man’ beside him.


    "We met again, Jiao Jiao."
