Chapter 414: Not Her Enemy
Yan Jinyu glanced at him. “Sure.”
She nodded at Tan Shiyun. “We’ll talk later.”
Tan Shiyun also glanced at Luo Yikun before nodding. “Alright.”
She had actually always felt that Luo Yikun was not what he seemed to be.
Indeed, he had done well in the last few exams, including the college entrance examination.
However, what did he have to say to Yan Jinyu alone?
Could it be that he actually knew Yan Jinyu’s identity and he had some special identity too? He was also cooperating with Yan Jinyu like them, right?
His expression was so serious that he felt like he was about to say something important.
Yan Jinyu and Luo Yikun walked away. Xu Gui, who was a few steps behind Luo Yikun, kept staring at the two people who had walked away. He asked Tan Shiyun, “Class Monitor, do you know what they’re talking about?”
“I don’t know.”
As Tan Shiyun spoke, she sized up Xu Gui, who had a complicated expression, “You seem to be very worried?”
“What are you worried about? Are you worried that they’ll say bad things about you?”
Xu Gui, who had been exposed, quickly denied it, “Who’s worried?!”
“What am I worried about? I’m just asking casually. Class Monitor, don’t spout nonsense.”
“I’m not spouting nonsense either. It’s not strange that you’re worried. What’s wrong with admitting it? For a graduation farewell party like this, when boys and girls get together alone, how many of them aren’t looking for an opportunity to confess? Jinyu has a fiancé, and Jinyu’s fiancé is Master Nine. As Luo Yikun’s good friend, it’s normal for you to be worried that he would confess to Jinyu and offend Master Nine.”
Xu Gui looked enlightened when he heard her words.
Yes! He was worried that Luo Yikun would be hot-headed and offend Master Nine. He was definitely not worried that he would suddenly confess to a girl…
No, no. Since when was he Luo Yikun’s good friend?
Why was Luo Yikun leaving with Eldest Miss Yan alone?
Ever since the last group trip, he knew that Eldest Miss Yan was not simple. Not only him, but almost everyone in class knew.
Hence, because Eldest Miss Yan was around, many students did not have a good time at the gathering tonight and the singing and drinking later. They were very reserved.
Now that Eldest Miss Yan had left, the private room was very lively.
Why would Luo Yikun follow such an Eldest Miss Yan?
Also, Luo Yikun was actually so calm after such a shocking thing happened on his last trip.
Later on, he even asked Luo Yikun if he had some secret identity or ability. Luo Yikun said that he had grown up in North City. Although they were not familiar with each other in the early years, they had heard of each other. In turn, Luo Yikun asked him if he felt that he might have some secret ability or identity.
Xu Gui shook his head decisively.
Luo Yikun was known to all the influential families in North City, from the elders to the juniors.
But no matter what, it was inappropriate for Luo Yikun to be so close to Eldest Miss Yan.
Seeing his expression change again and again, Tan Shiyun realized that her classmate for three years was actually so interesting.
The two of them did not have to shoulder the pressure of their families. They were indeed living comfortably.
It was enviable.
“You don’t have to worry too much. I think Luo Yikun is someone who knows his limits. He should have something serious to tell Jinyu. I heard that you guys are preparing to do a graduation trip together. It’s also possible that he’s looking for Jinyu to discuss this.”
Xu Gui thought about it and agreed.
The itinerary was arranged by Luo Yikun. It was said that Luo Yikun took on the responsibility himself.
As soon as the college entrance examination ended, Eldest Miss Yan wasn’t in North City. After returning to North City, she stayed at Mount Jing. Even if she wasn’t at Mount Jing, she was with Master Nine. She didn’t have time to discuss her graduation trip.
“Class Monitor, you know about this too?”
“I know. I heard that when you guys were chatting during the meal just now. I accidentally heard it.”
“Actually, I want to ask if you guys mind if I join you?”
“Of course I don’t mind. Although I’m not the one who arranged this, isn’t the more people the merrier for a graduation trip? However, Class Monitor, do you have time to join us? Luo Yikun’s itinerary is a little long. It’s about 20 days. We are not only travelling locally, but also overseas.”
“You guys are still going overseas for your graduation trip?”
“Yes, that’s how the itinerary is arranged. However, we don’t go to many countries. We only chose some famous attractions and they’re all along the same tourist route.”
Hearing this, Tan Shiyun seemed a little excited.
She was just joking and asking casually. She did not expect them to still go overseas. “Which countries will you go to?”
“I don’t know the exact details. I roughly remember that there seems to be Country F and Country Y.”
“I’ll go with you guys. Count me in!”
“O-of course.” It was not a big deal. Xu Gui did not understand why she was suddenly so excited.
“However, you have to tell Luo Yikun about this.”
“Of course.” She was very worried about Bo Lang being alone in Country Y, but her grandfather didn’t allow her to follow him. He said that it would distract Bo Lang.
Now, it was a good opportunity to go to Country Y to take a look.
Her grandfather might not agree to her graduation trip with her classmates, but if she said that she wanted to go on a trip with Yan Jinyu, her grandfather would definitely agree.
This had nothing to do with currying favor. It was also very important for a good family heir to make friends. And after the Empire Group helped resolve the trouble the Jones Family created, her grandfather very much agreed for her to spend more time with Yan Jinyu.
Putting aside Yan Jinyu’s identity, she liked Yan Jinyu very much.
It was not bad to have such a trip.
She could even go to Country Y to take a look.
On the other side, Yan Jinyu and Luo Yikun didn’t go far either. They walked to the front and stopped after confirming that no one would hear their conversation.
It was already dark and the street lamps were lit.
However, there were not many pedestrians on this road, so it was rather quiet.
The two of them stood under the streetlamp.
“What does Second Young Master Luo want to say?”
“I want to cooperate with Eldest Miss Yan.”
Yan Jinyu’s expression didn’t change. She still smiled faintly, as if she was waiting for him to continue.
Luo Yikun thought to himself, [She’s indeed the top killer in the killer world. Her mental fortitude is so good! He had already said so, but she was actually unmoved. She wasn’t even curious about the cooperation he wanted to talk about.]
“Eldest Miss Yan must have guessed my background.”
“No,” Yan Jinyu said.
“You and I are not enemies. At least for the time being. We’re not friends either. I don’t have the mood to investigate you.” This was the truth. Although she already had some guesses about Luo Yikun’s background, it was only a guess. She didn’t investigate him.
Luo Yikun was not angry with her disrespectful words. How many people could she take seriously given her identity?
He knew his limits very well.
“It doesn’t matter if you didn’t guess it. I can tell Eldest Miss Yan. Rather than saying that I want to cooperate with Eldest Miss Yan, it’s better to say that I’m expressing my stand.”
“I know what happened to the Feng Family in Cloud City.”
Yan Jinyu was still unmoved and she was still smiling.
Luo Yikun admired her even more.
He had no chance of winning against such an enemy with her unfathomable look.
“Although I don’t know the exact details of what happened to the Feng Family in Cloud City, I can roughly guess it. I don’t want to be enemies with Eldest Miss Yan. After thinking about it, I still feel that it’s very necessary to make my stand clear to you beforehand.”
“Min Sisi, who is also the eldest daughter of the Min Family, and I are considered acquaintances. According to her, she and I are martial siblings, even though it was the first time I met her when I went to the capital the last time.”
“We’re martial siblings, so naturally we have the same master who taught us our skills. However, it’s not convenient for me to say anything about Master. Otherwise, it will make me seem a little ungrateful.”
“I was actually almost abducted by a trafficker when I was young. It was my Eldest Aunt who saved me. Oh, my Eldest Aunt is Qiu’s mother, the daughter of the Yu Family in the capital, Yu Yao.”
“I’ve been by Eldest Aunt’s side for a long time because those traffickers seem to be targeting me.”
“Outsiders only think that my Eldest Aunt went overseas to recuperate and gave birth to Qiu overseas. Actually, everyone in the Yu Family knows that Eldest Aunt brought me overseas to avoid those human traffickers in the name of recuperation.”
“However, Eldest Aunt had a difficult labor later on. Of course, Eldest Miss Yan also found out that my Eldest Aunt was harmed by Luo Yilin’s mother, Zhang Mei.”
“My Eldest Aunt died in labor and could no longer protect me. It was my master who brought me back to the country. After I returned to the country, I almost always lived in the Yu Family. Either that, or I shuttled back and forth between the Yu Family and the Luo Family.”
“No one noticed anything because I’m young.”
“Some of my skills were taught by my master when I went to the Yu Family.”
“My master is also Min Sisi’s master. I don’t have to say much about Min Sisi’s ambition. I’m sure Eldest Miss Yan knows it too. Master and Old Master Yu both want me to help Min Sisi with all my might, but I know my limits. I know that I can’t beat Eldest Miss Yan and I’m not close with Min Sisi. I don’t want to offend you for her, so I don’t want to follow their arrangements.”
“I owe Eldest Aunt and the Yu Family a favor. I’ll treat Qiu doubly well. If the Yu Family is in trouble, I’ll help them at the right time and repay them.”
“As for the master who taught me skills, I’ll return the favor I owe him. I won’t help Min Sisi according to his arrangements just because I owe him.”
At the end of the day, it was still because he didn’t like Min Sisi. Moreover, Min Sisi had sworn to be enemies with the people he didn’t want to offend the most.
“So, the position you’re here to make clear to me is that you won’t be my enemy?”
Luo Yikun nodded.
However, Yan Jinyu smiled. “Then, the premise that you won’t be my enemy is that you won’t be my enemy because of Min Sisi? Or even if the Yu Family and your master are also my enemies, you won’t be my enemy because of them?”
“…I won’t.”
“You’re hesitating,” Yan Jinyu confirmed.
“Let’s not talk about this for now. I have a question to ask Second Young Master Luo.”
Luo Yikun looked at her.
“You said that you’ve been targeted by traffickers since you were young. How long did those traffickers keep an eye on you?”
Luo Yikun pondered for a moment as if he was thinking about it. After a long while, he said, “I’m actually only a few months older than Qiu. So, whether it was Eldest Aunt protecting me or Master bringing me back from overseas, it was all told to me by Old Master Yu.”
“I’ve been safe since I came back from overseas.”
“I guess it’s because Master and the Yu Family are protecting me that those people and traffickers don’t dare to have any ideas about me anymore.”
“Do you believe what they say?” Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows. She felt that Luo Yikun shouldn’t be so naive.
