HEARING the duke’s announcement, it only registered to Luo Jin then that he really did win. He’s going to the finals! He and his brother would face-off at the finals! A huge grin appeared on his face just thinking about that.
Yes, our little gnome had conveniently forgotten that his brother still had a match he had to win before the two of them could really face-off at the finals. But who would tell him otherwise? So, let’s just leave the young master Jin to his little happiness.
At the royal box of team Yunyue, everyone was rejoicing because of this win. Especially Luo Wei Tian. He jumped to his seat, almost dragging Yu Jiao sitting beside him. If not for Luo Ren holding Yu Jiao’s arm, that might have really happened. But his dear father didn’t notice it at all because he was too excited.
"Ah Ren, our Xiao Jin won! Did you see?" Luo Wei Tian said, his voice full of joy and his expression full of pride.
He was actually very worried about this match. Especially after seeing how much the crowd favored Luo Jin’s opponent. Throughout the whole fight, his son struggled to land a hit. The opponent even transformed into a big dragon. Luo Jin’s fight just seemed too desperate.
But his son managed to pull a curve ball right at the end. Defeating his opponent in a very ingenious way. As expected of his son.
Luo Ren looked at his father. The other was very animated. He wouldn’t even be surprised if his father suddenly danced around just to express his happiness. A helpless smile crossed Luo Ren’s face. At the same time, he was glad and happy that his father could show such a carefree look. It’s truly a good thing that the other thought of logging into the game.
"Yes, I saw, Dad," he said. "Xiao Jin is really amazing."
Just like his father, he was very worried about the outcome of this match – with Luo Jin being defeated. Of course, it wouldn’t matter even if he lost. They would still feel proud of him. The fact that Luo Jin won was just an added bonus. His brother’s hard work paid off. So, of course, Luo Ren was very happy for his brother.
His father then turned to the people in the royal box and said to each one how amazing Luo Jin was. The others could only agree with him. Seeing this, Luo Ren could only helplessly shake his head. Truly, his father was such a fool for his children sometimes. The good kind of ’fool’, of course. The source of this content ɪs novel-fire.ɴet
Luo Ren then turned to Yu Jiao who was looking at his father as if she was looking at an endangered species. Amusement filled his eyes as he saw that. He leaned down a bit towards the other.
"Sorry about earlier. Dad was just a bit excited," he whispered, referring to when his father almost pulled up the other.
Yu Jiao turned to Luo Ren, a smile crossed her lips. "No, there’s no need to apologize. I think Uncle Luo is very cute." Then, she stopped, as if realizing that what he just said was kind of rude. "S-sorry. I- I didn’t mean anything bad about it."
Looking at Yu Jiao’s cheeks with a slight tinge of red, he almost couldn’t help but say ’you’re the cute one’. But he stopped himself. He didn’t want the other to feel awkward because of him.
So, he could only smile and said, "I know. We, the Luos, could be adorable without trying."
Yu Jiao tilted her head. Her expression was like telling him ’you can be adorable?’. Luo Ren couldn’t stop the laugh that slip his lips because of that.
Sitting beside Luo Ren, Bai Ze unconsciously glanced at team Siren’s royal box the moment Luo Jin was announced as the winner. Although he was very happy that his cousin won, he couldn’t help but worry about Xia Li’s reaction to the outcome of this match. After all, it was quite obvious that she and her brother was pretty close.
And so, he could only send the other a private message.
White Marsh: [Your brother did great.]
Sending something like ’sorry that your brother lost’ would just be too weird.
It didn’t take long for the other to reply;
Catnip: [Yeah. Hopefully, he also thinks so.]
Bai Ze smiled seeing the other’s reply. Because with just that, he could see that Xia Li was really a good and caring sister.
On the opposite side, Su Yuqi pumped her small fist the moment Luo Jin shot the golden dragon on the forehead. Because that’s a sure-fire way to decrease a player’s HP exponentially. She knew he won at that moment.
She was filled with a mixture of satisfaction and pride. This kid had really gone a long way from when the two of them raided a dungeon together. But ultimately, she was simply happy for Luo Jin.
Back on the partially destroyed rink, the duke was looking at Luo Jin with his brows furrowed. As if he wasn’t satisfied about something.
"Hmm... this lord can’t have the winner of this match looking like that," the duke said.
Then, he snapped his fingers. In a blink of an eye, the missing limb of Luo Jin’s avatar appeared attached to his shoulder. As if it wasn’t cut off at all.
Luo Jin looked at his arm. Now that was convenient.
"Go and rest for a bit. Watch the next match in comfort."
Before Luo Jin could react to what the duke said, he had already appeared in the room he was in earlier. As evidence of the imitation of their home’s back garden. He sat down on the comfortable couch at the middle.
He actually wanted to meet with Luo Yan before the other’s match started. But it obviously wouldn’t be possible. They could probably only meet later. He wasn’t worried about the next match.
Because he’s confident that his brother would win.
