The Return Of The God Level Assassin (WN)-Chapter 851: 'NEFARIOUS MASTERMIND'

IT was not only Luo Yan who was surprised by Shen Ji Yun's rather eloquent excuse but both Luo Ren and Luo Jin as well.

Luo Ren actually agreed with what Luo Jin said earlier about the other that their brother would be the one to give an excuse for Shen Ji Yun. But who would have thought that this guy would actually take the initiative to give one of his own? It was even something that's very believable. Did this guy actually mature since that tournament?

Luo Jin, on the other hand, just scoffed. His belief that the other was actually just faking his 'I don't know things related to feelings' act. Look, he's now showing his true colors! If it was just up to Luo Jin, he had already called Shen Ji Yun on his bullshit in front of everyone.

But alas, because he made that promise to Luo Yan, he couldn't. It's okay if he did that when there's only them around. But their father was also here. Calling out Shen Ji Yun in front of the other would definitely have some serious consequence.

As much as he hated to admit it, Luo Yan liked the guy. If he did something that could compromise the relationship of the two, Luo Yan would definitely be angry at him. He groaned inwardly. These contradicting feelings were warring inside him that he felt like he'd go crazy if this continued.

Tsk. He glared at the culprit. If only Luo Yan didn't like this guy. But then again, he would probably not be so annoyed with the other if that was the case. Seriously, he couldn't understand what Luo Yan saw in that guy.

But what our Ah Jin hadn't realized yet was that no matter who Luo Yan liked, whether it's a man or a woman, he would still feel antagonistic towards them. Because the fact of the matter was, Ah Jin simply had a huge brother complex. Of course, in the usual Ah Jin fashion, he would never admit that.

Luo Yan, who had no idea about the mental gymnastics his two brothers were doing, just stared at Shen Ji Yun with amusement. He was actually ready to help the other give an appropriate excuse that wouldn't arouse the suspicion of his father. But here was his cinnamon roll doing a good job just by himself.

What he didn't know was while he was having a 'I'm so proud of you' moment, Shen Ji Yun was fully panicking inside. A small Ji Yun was repeatedly telling him that 'he can do this' while his face remained like a statue – completely unresponsive.

This was another moment when he's very thankful of his expressionless face. At least he wouldn't completely embarrassed himself in front of Uncle Tian. The only sign of his nervousness was the two clenched fists on his lap.

"Oh, is that so? I'm sure Xiao Yan is very happy that he could celebrate his birthday with you," Luo Wei Tian said, turning to Luo Yan. "Isn't that right, Xiao Yan?"

Luo Yan smiled brightly. "Yes."

Shen Ji Yun secretly let out a sigh of relief seeing that Uncle Tian seemed to not find his presence here suspicious. At least now he wouldn't have to worry that the other would kick him out mercilessly.

"How long will you stay at S City?" Luo Wei Tian asked.

"Since I'm already done with my research, I'm thinking of looking around S City first. I'll probably leave on Sunday."

After he said that, he quickly looked at Luo Yan. Hoping that the other could somehow invite him to their trip to Hunan province. Then, the deadline he put on himself for that one thing he planned to do would be extended.

But if Luo Yan didn't, then he had no choice but to do it tonight. No matter what, whether it's tonight or tomorrow, he had already decided that he would do it.

When Luo Yan saw Shen Ji Yun glancing at him, he somehow knew what that one glance meant. The other's eyes were simply silently telling him something. Strangely enough, he understood what Shen Ji Yun wanted to convey. It's like their brain waves just connected and aligned.

He smiled. "If Brother Ji Yun has no plans, why don't you go with us to Hunan province tomorrow? I'm sure it will be fun." He then turned to his father. "That's okay, right, Dad?"

Under the table, Shen Ji Yun pumped his hand into a fist of triumph after hearing Luo Yan said that. He almost wondered if the other was actually a mind reader. Because just how did he find out exactly what he was hoping he would do?

But before Uncle Tian could answer, a certain someone had already raised their objection.

"No! It's a family trip, why would you bring outsider to it?" Luo Jin interjected before glaring at Shen Ji Yun.

Why did this guy always had to appear during their family trip? The other and Luo Yan weren't officially together yet and he's already inserting himself to their family. At this point, Luo Jin was fully convinced that Shen Ji Yun had long been planning this just to get his brother.

Shen Ji Yun, the 'nefarious mastermind' according to Luo Jin at least, wasn't worried that Uncle Tian would agree with the other. After all, this was a request from Luo Yan. He knew how much the other would have a hard time refusing that.

Sure enough, Luo Wei Tian scolded Luo Jin instead.

"Xiao Jin, don't be rude. What's wrong if Xiao Yun joined us? It's not like he's a stranger. He's your friend, isn't he? I don't see any problem with him coming with us."

"Who's friends with who?" Luo Jin muttered.

Luo Wei Tian ignored his son and just looked at the young man sitting in front of him. "If you want, you can come with us. What do you think?"

"I'd be happy to," Shen Ji Yun answered quickly before another person objected.

"Then, Jiao Jiao, how about also coming with us to this trip?"

Yu Jiao, who was suddenly named, turned to Luo Ren with a blank expression on her face.
