LUO YAN chatted with Luo Ren all afternoon before dinner.That's why he only had time to go online after that.Not that he minded.Since he really enjoyed talking to his older brother.Their father even joined later.And the both just spoiled him non-stop.Which he always enjoyed.Although it's really quite shameless of him to enjoy it.Since he's technically much older than Luo Ren, soul-wise.But he's the only one who knew it, so just let him be shameless.

When he logged in, he arrived at their team's headquarters' main hall.He first looked at his friend list.He saw that only his younger brother was online while the rest of their team was offline.He probably logged out in a different place last night, that's why he didn't appear here with him.

He first sent him a message.

Noctis: [Ah Jin, where are you?Want to grind levels?]

It didn't take long for Luo Jin to reply.

AmazingYoungMasterJin: [I'm at the plaza, waiting for that advertis.e.m.e.nt.Because a certain someone couldn't be bothered to just show me the video.]

Noctis: [Ah, I wonder who that certain someone is.Making our cute and adorable Ah Jin work so hard.]

AmazingYoungMasterJin: []

When he didn't receive a reply, he knew that the kid was probably irritated with him.He probably decided not to talk to him anymore.He chuckled.And then he sent another message.This time, to Shen Ji Yun.He sent it both to his real and alt account.So he could immediately see it once he logged in, no matter what account he used.

Noctis: [Brother Ji Yun, send me a message once you're online.]

After that, he went to his designated room in the palace.There wasn't much decoration in his room.He just didn't think that he should put an effort into decorating when he barely even stayed here.Because of the almost bare look of the room, the black egg on the table was even more eye-catching.

He walked towards it and lifted it up."How are you my Little Ancestor?Did you miss Master?Of course you did."

He took a sling bag that was hanging beside the bed and put the black egg inside.This way, it would be easier for him to fight while holding on to his Little Ancestor.He didn't need to input any more Mana into the egg because it was already close to hatching.In his estimates, his Little Ancestor would hatch either by tomorrow or the next day.

"Let's go, my Little Ancestor."

He then teleported out of there.

Luo Yan just turned level 71 when he received a notification for a new message.So he immediately jumped away from the group of monsters he was fighting.He made sure that he was in a safe area before opening the message.He thought that it was from Shen Ji Yun, but surprisingly, it's from Luo Jin.

AmazingYoungMasterJin: [Yan!What's with that advertis.e.m.e.nt?You're that black haired elf right?]

Noctis: [It's me.]

AmazingYoungMasterJin: [Where are you?]

Luo Yan already had a feeling that his younger brother would only nag at him because he appeared in the video.He could already imagine his little face all scrunched up face.So he answered;

Noctis: [Not telling.]

Then he followed it up with;

Noctis: [Don't send any more message, I won't reply.Just scold me later when I log out.]

Then he closed the message box between them.That's when he noticed that he had another message.This time, it was from Shen Ji Yun.

SHEN: [I'm online now.]

Noctis: [Can I talk to Brother Ji Yun?I just have something to ask.]

SHEN: [No problem.Should we meet at the headquarters?]

Noctis: [Can Brother Ji Yun teleport to where I am now?Or I could just teleport to where you are, if it's too much trouble.]

Because the team's headquarters would definitely be the first place Luo Jin would look for him.So, it's better not to meet there.

SHEN: [It's fine, I could just go to where you are.What's your location?]

After telling Shen Ji Yun where he was, he closed his Message Tab.Then he ran to the entrance of the forest where he was.Because that's where Shen Ji Yun would be teleported to.Unexpectedly, on his way there, the two of them met half-way.

"Brother Ji Yun!" he exclaimed in surprised."You should have just waited for me at the entrance.What if we missed each other?"

"Then I'll just do my best to find you," Shen Ji Yun answered, a little bit too seriously.

Luo Yan stopped.Why did that sound like some kind of pick-up line?

"What is it you want to ask?" Shen Ji Yun added.

"Oh, it's about my advertis.e.m.e.nt.I just found out that Moonlight Media's official Weibo account posted the video and even promoted it.I just want to know if Brother Ji Yun had something to do with it?"

Shen Ji Yun almost automatically wanted to say 'no'.Because he didn't want Luo Yan to think that he's such a busybody.But if he did, it would only look like a lie.Especially since the rabbit was already suspicious of him.So, at the end, he could only say; "Yes."

Luo Yan then gave him a stern look.If it was his real appearance, then his expression right now would only look cute and adorable.But Luo Yan's face right now was a more mature version of himself.So he perfectly delivered the emotion his expression wanted to deliver.

"Brother Ji Yun shouldn't use his influence as the nephew of Moonlight Media's CEO for my sake," Luo Yan said with a bit of a scolding tone."It feels like I'm cheating or something."

Shen Ji Yun saw the sad expression on the rabbit's face when he said that last part.And he couldn't help but start to panic.

"No.It's not like that," he immediately said."I did show the video to my Uncle but I never told him that he should promote it.He did it on his own accord.Because he, himself, thought that the video could bring positive feedback to the game.This was not a one-time case.There were other times when Moonlight Media promoted other players' business as well.So, no, Yan Yan.You're not cheating."

Luo Yan stared at Shen Ji Yun's panicked look.He even said such a long sentence just to explain things to him.He was actually just teasing him a bit.He wasn't angry that he helped him promote his pavilion.Though, there's really a part of him that felt a tad bit guilty because it almost felt like he was cheating.But now, hearing his explanation, that bit of guilt quickly vanished.

He was thinking if he should continue teasing Shen Ji Yun, but he decided against it at the end.Although he found it cute whenever he looked panicked or just looked lost like he had no idea what to do, Luo Yan didn't want to bully him too much.Because it felt like bullying a big cinnamon roll.

"I'm not angry, Brother Ji Yun.In fact, I'm very grateful," he immediately clarified."I just hope that next time, you could tell me first about it."

Shen Ji Yun finally was able to let out a sigh of relief."Yes, I will do that."

Unless he's planning a surprise.Of course he wouldn't tell the details of that to Luo Yan.Then it would no longer be a surprise, right?

Luo Yan saw how Shen Ji Yun visibly looked relieved by what he said. He couldn't help but chuckle. See, this guy was truly a big, soft cinnamon roll.
