<h4>Chapter 742 - IT''S ALL WINGED TASSEL''S FAULT!</h4>


    YU JIAO showed a relieved smile once she heard what Luo Ren said. It seemed that her worry was unfounded. But if she thought about it carefully, there''s really no need for any worry. Luo Yan really didn''t do anything wrong. He was just a bit… scary. Only at certain times, of course. With how loving his family was, something like that was not enough to make their view of him change.


    Seeing the smile on Yu Jiao''s lips, Luo Ren once again couldn''t stop the corner of his lips from tilting upwards. Really, how cute. But knowing that she was worried for his brother for such a small thing made him relieved and happy. Because how much she cared for Luo Yan. And he was d that his brother had such a friend.


    It''s even better because she was the girl Luo Ren fell for.


    Bai Ze, who heard the conversation, quickly added his opinion, "That''s right, that Winged Tassel guy was definitely the problem! He must have done something worthy of Xiao Yan''s revenge."


    His voice was full of conviction when he said that. Although, he rarely saw his cousin''s ''dark side'', he understood that it wouldn''t surface unless there''s a reason. So, ultimately, this whole fiasco was Winged Tassel''s fault.


    Shen Ji Yun had to stop the fanboying in his heart when he realized that the topic the people around were discussing was Luo Yan. Or mainly his rabbit''s ck belly nature. As someone who probably had seen this side of Luo Yan the most, it no longer surprised him. Even more so since it''s one of the reasons why he fell for the other.


    In his opinion, that side of Luo Yan was very attractive. He would probably feel different if the other was using his wiles against innocent people. But that was never the case for Luo Yan. Whenever he acted this way, there''s always a reason. So, just like what everyone said, he also believed that the tengu was the one at fault.


    The question now was, what did that tengu do to make Luo Yan this angry? A cold glint shed in his eyes. No matter what it was, if the other ever tried to scheme against his rabbit in the future, he would definitely not let it go.


    Hearing how the others defended his son, Luo Wei Tian''splicated feelings finally settled. Of course, this was not because he was frightened by Luo Yan''s actions. He was just surprised, well, maybe even a bit shocked. After all, his usual amiable and sweet son suddenly turned into someone who seemed to enjoy violence. Anyone would have aplicated feeling after witnessing that.


    But after hearing what the others had said, he no longer felt that way. It even made him remember of the past – when he and his wife met. It was when both of them were still hot-blooded youth. Well, he wasn''t sure if that word could describe him. But it perfectly described his wife.


    Luo Wei Tian had always thought that Luo Jin was the most like Mei Hua when she was younger. But seeing Luo Yan like this, he''s probably the one who inherited most from his mother. Not only his outstanding appearance, but also his personality.


    He could still remember how easily Mei Hua could infuriate someone to death just by speaking. Even though he didn''t hear the things Luo Yan had said to his opponents, he had a feeling that it was the same as what his wife had always done whenever someone annoyed her.


    He looked at the rink and grinned. [Look, Hua-er, our Xiao Yan is so much like you. You must be smiling proudly in heaven while watching him.]


    That thought was a bit bittersweet. But regardless, it still filled Luo Wei Tian with happiness.


    Back on the rink, the Duke of Hearts finally appeared. And as he did, a little boy also appeared with him.


    "Mashter!" Eclipse called, jumping to Luo Yan and hugging his arm. "You''re amazing, Mashter! Eclipse knew you can easily beat that bird guy!"


    Luo Yan smiled and ruffled the other''s hair. "Did you have fun with the duke?"


    "Yes, the lord duke gave Eclipse a lot of sweets!" the little boy said. But then added telepathically, [But he was a bit opinionated. Good thing the sweets he gave was really delicious or Eclipse might not be able to stop himself from rolling his eyes.]


    Luo Yan only chuckled at that before turning to the duke. "Thank you, milord. I apologize if Eclipse was a bit unruly."


    "This lord doesn''t mind. Your fox is quite entertaining. Maybe you should sell him to me. This lord will give you a very generous reward."


    Before Luo Yan could say anything, Eclipse had already shouted, "No! How can you say that lord duke? Eclipse is only Mashter''s. He''s like Eclipse''s dad. Can the lord duke bear to tear apart a father and son?"


    Luo Yan felt the corner of his lips twitching because of Eclipse''s dramatic deration. He nced at the duke and saw that the other only raised one of his brows. Then, he nced at Luo Yan as if saying, ''see, isn''t he interesting?''.


    He smiled apologetically and said, "Apologies, milord. But I can''t give you this little guy."


    Eclipse followed that up by nodding his head exaggeratedly.


    The duke only shrugged as if it''s no big deal. Then, he floated around, the familiar mic appearing in his hand.


    He swept his gaze on the audience and said, "It seemed that all of you are quite satisfied with the result of this match."


    As an answer, the crowd simply cheered again.


    "Well then, without further ado, I present to you the winner of this match and final participant for the finals – Noctis!"


    Again, an unbelievably loud cheer echoed all around.


    The duke then snapped his fingers and Luo Jin suddenly appeared beside Luo Yan and Eclipse. The faces of the Luo brothers also showed on the virtual screen.


    "This is the end of the semi-finals. Now, let''s give these two yers a round of apuse!" the duke said, spreading his arm as if presenting the two.


    And the crowd obliged.. Warm apuse filling the entire coliseum.
