722: SILLY FATHER

SILLY FATHER

THE two-hour break came to an end in just a blink of an eye. The crowd who was eager to watch the semi-finals was back to the audience area. Of course, the same was true for the rest of team Yunyue and the others.0

            Luo Wei Tian was the first one to teleport back to the royal box. He was about to sit down on his usual seat when his eyes happened to land on the handsome young man that teleported after him. No, he should not probably call the other a 'young man'. 'Little girl' was a more accurate term.

But looking at the other's handsome profile, he still couldn't help but feel a bit complicated. No matter which angles he looked, this Yu Jiao really looked like a boy. But since Luo Ren said that the other was a girl, it could only be so. His eldest wouldn't joke about something like that. So, what choice did he have but to believe?

Besides, Luo Ren even admitted to him that he liked Yu Jiao. That son of his had never spoken like that about a girl before. So, no matter what Yu Jiao's appearance was, Luo Wei Tian would never dislike it. Something like appearance should never be the deciding factor in choosing a partner in life. What's much more important was the heart of that person. 

A beautiful soul was a thousand times more appealing than a beautiful face. That's the beauty from within that even time couldn't erode.

And this girl could be his future daughter-in-law. He should try to give a good impression. That way, in the future, when his eldest started to chase her, she wouldn't think that he would be disagree with their relationship.

"Jiao Jiao, come, sit here beside Uncle," he called.

Yu Jiao was startled by this call. She didn't know how to response. But she knew that she couldn't decline. That would be too rude. Especially since the other was a respected elder. Even more so because he was her friends' father. Despite a little bit of hesitation, she still walked forward and sat beside Uncle Luo.

"Uncle," she said, calling the other respectfully. 

Luo Wei Tian glanced at the girl. Her posture showed slight timidity, a clear sign of nervousness and uncertainty. And yet, she still sat beside him. Doing something despite of one's fear showed great courage. He nodded very appreciatively. 

"I don't think I have told you this before, but thank you for being friends with Xiao Yan," he said, his voice full of sincerity.

"No, no, Uncle, there's no need for thanks," Yu Jiao quickly said. "I'm the one who's thankful. For me, Yan Yan's friendship is like a gift of heaven. Meeting him and being his friend are two of the best things that happened in my life."

Luo Wei Tian stared at Yu Jiao while the other was talking about Luo Yan with a sweet smile on her lips. He suddenly worried for his eldest. It wouldn't be that his two sons would end up being love rivals in the future, right? If so, who would he support and cheer on?

At this moment, father Luo had already made up a lot of dog-blood dramas in his mind. If Luo Yan or Luo Ren knew about this, they could only laugh at their silly father.

Back at the waiting room…

Unlike when they started with 16 participants, there were only four inside. Well, four plus an extra fox. 

Eclipse, in his fox form, was lying in Luo Yan's arms. [Mashter, is Eclipse going to fight with you in this round?]

Luo Yan was about to answer when he noticed Winged Tassel looking at their direction. No, it was more accurate to say that the other was looking at Eclipse. He seemed to notice his gaze, so he raised his head and smiled at him. Then, he turned his head to another direction in a very natural way. As if he hadn't been staring at Eclipse.

Luo Yan frowned. Just what was the deal with that guy? From when the other talked to him yesterday when they were in the winners' suite and then this, why was he so interested in Eclipse? He wouldn't really be one of those furries, right? 

His brain was already making up stories about how this Winged Tassel chose to play this game just so he could fulfil his hobby. Like doing this and that to poor NPCs that had animal characteristics. Although the game had protection for NPCs, there were probably still ways to go around that. And someone with a distorted world view would definitely find those 'ways'.

What it this Winged Tassel bastard was having some weird fantasies about Eclipse? Oh, hell no. He'd been him to a pulp before he let his grubby fingers touch Eclipse.

[Mashter?] – Eclipse called once again, his voice was tinged with confusion, probably wondering why his master didn't answer his question.

Luo Yan took a deep breath and exhaled it. As if releasing the negative thoughts he had just now. He smiled down at the little fox in his arms. [If we're fighting the dragon, then, yes.]

With how unpredictable the method of matching the participants was, he could end up fighting anyone in the semi-finals. But if he was to choose who would he rather fight in this round, then, he'd definitely choose Winged Tassel. He really disliked how that guy was looking at Eclipse.

The little fox tilted his head. [Is it because he's stronger than the other two? No, your brother gnome is definitely not weaker! But that bird guy is definitely weak.]

Luo Yan chuckled hearing Eclipse's response. [Regarding Ah Jin, well, I just want to fight him 1v1. And that bird guy, let's just say I want to beat him to smithereens myself.]

[Oohhh… did that bird guy pissed off Mashter?]

Luo Yan stroke Eclipse's little head. [Hmm… you can say that.]

[Eclipse can understand. That bird guy's face can really piss off anyone.]

Before Luo Yan could respond to that, a virtual screen appeared in the room.
