SHEN JI YUN glanced at the door when he heard it opened. His now calm heart started to gallop again at the thought that he would see Luo Yan. The emotions he felt when he heard him sing was still fresh in his mind. Those emotions immediately surge up inside him when he thought that Luo Yan would soon stand before him.
Just as he thought, Luo Yan did walk into the room. He was now back in his normal game avatar. Shen Ji Yun still wanted to see him in his red robe. But that little disappointment quickly disappeared. Because no matter what clothes Luo Yan wore or what form he was in, he would always be the most beautiful to Shen Ji Yun. So, finally, a small smile crossed his lips.
But the small arc of his lips immediately froze when he saw the person walking behind Luo Yan. It was a tall young 'man' with messy black hair and a pair of sharp black eyes. 'He' had a blank expression on 'his' face. As if 'his' head was in the clouds. One couldn't really tell what 'he' was thinking.
This person's face was well-known to many top players. Of course, that included Shen Ji Yun as well. After all, the current sword he was using was forged by this person. The current number one Blacksmith of Arcadia – Vulcan.
Confusion immediately filled him. What was Vulcan doing here? Why was 'he' walking behind Luo Yan? Just as he thought of that, he remembered what Luo Yan said. That he would bring his friend with him later to introduce to them. But wasn't this friend a girl? Then as if a fog had been lifted from his brain. His eyes widened for a bit and looked at Vulcan unbelievingly.
Su Yuqi also quickly understood the twist and turn of events. She was surprised but didn't really show a big reaction.
Luo Jin, on the other hand, was confused at first. Didn't his brother plan to bring Yu Jiao here? Then who was this 'guy'? He narrowed his eyes at the person walking behind his brother. The more he looked, the more 'he' seemed familiar. Until half a minute later, he finally realized that this 'guy' was actually Yu Jiao! So, this girl actually used a male avatar in the game? He shrugged. Well, to each their own. Everyone had their fetishes and hobbies. As long as it didn't affect him or the people he cared about, he really didn't have that much of an opinion.
The one with the biggest reaction was Bai Ze. Although he was a little slow on the uptake, he still realized what was happening. After all, he was someone who had been admitted at T University. He couldn't really be that stupid. But after understanding the truth, he still couldn't believe it.
"Vulcan is a girl?" he exclaimed.
"Why don't you shout a bit louder? It's as if we couldn't hear you enough," Su Yuqi said looking at Bai Ze as if he had a screw loose.
"Hey, this is a normal reaction, okay? You and Ji Yun not having any reaction right now are the ones who are abnormal," Bai Ze said indignantly.
Su Yuqi gave him the look while Shen Ji Yun coldly glanced at him. Bai Ze almost shrank his neck. Why were these two so fierce? The little man inside him cried aggrievedly. Were these two really his friends?
"Who is Vulcan?" Luo Jin asked.
"That guy over there," Bai Ze answered while cheering himself up. Finally, someone was as curious as him. "Or should I say girl? Anyway, she's the current top Blacksmith in the game."
Luo Jin was more surprised to hear that than knowing that Yu Jiao actually used a male avatar. When Luo Yan told her that Yu Jiao was probably a skilled Blacksmith in the game, he never suspected that she was actually the number one. Seriously, who would have thought that the shy and timid girl who looked so easy to bully actually had this kind of alter identity. It seemed like his brother's instinct when it came to people was simply top notch.
Luo Yan shook his head helplessly when he saw the reaction of his team mates. He glanced at Yu Jiao and saw that the girl's face already turned red. She even started fidgeting again and clenching on the hem of her shirt.
So, he turned to the others and said, "Guys, please, don't embarrass my friend. She's a bit shy."
Everyone turned to Yu Jiao and saw that her face was really red. This attention only made her even more nervous. What small team? Apart from the little gnome that looked similar to Luo Jin, the other three were famous players who she had encountered in her shop at least once before.
She knew who these people were. They were team Yunyue. The first champions of the Arcadia Cup! Although many players now were calling them the 'fallen champions', anyone with a brain knew just how good the three remaining players of the said team were. Especially their captain – YUN.
Since Luo Yan said that he would introduce her to his team mates, then it meant that he and his brother were the new members of team Yunyue. If she had known this earlier, although she would be nervous, at least she would have made a psychological construction. But now that she was here, she simply didn't know what to do.
Although she did meet them before, that was between a customer and a shop owner. Whenever she met a customer, she just simply blanked out her mind and imagined that they were radishes on a vegetable garden so as not to make herself stutter. After finalizing a deal with them, she would let her NPC employees to deal with the follow-up.
But now, she couldn't do that. They were Luo Yan's team mates and most probably his friends. She didn't want to make a bad impression on them. What if she acted weird and Luo Yan regretted being friends with her? After being alone for so long, someone finally wanted to befriend her. How could she disappoint that person?
So, Yu Jiao took a deep breath, gathered all her courage and said, "Hello."
