The Return Of The God Level Assassin Chapter 424 'yan'

LUO YAN stared at the big golden statue of Buddha at a distance. There were a lot of people offering incense in front of the said statue. He had never been religious. Probably because of his parents' untimely deaths. Followed that by the bad experience at the orphanage and he became cynical early. He'd rather believe in human's endless greed than think that things like G.o.ds and the likes truly exist.

But after being reborn in this body, he finally realized that there might really be a higher being existing in this world. And They helped him have this life now.

Feeling that way, he walked towards the altar and also offered an incense. He put his hands together as if in a prayer and closed his eyes.

[Great Buddha, if you're the one responsible for my rebirth, then I can't thank you enough. Thank you for giving me this new life. Thank you for giving me this loving family. I hope that the original soul of this body had successfully entered reincarnation without a problem. I hope he would be as happy, no, I hope he would be happier than I am now in his next life.]

He put up another incense.

[My only wish now is for the people I care about to be healthy and happy. Thank you again, Great Buddha.]

After saying the things in his mind, he bowed deeply towards the golden statue before opening his eyes.

"Did Xiao Yan pray for something?" Luo Wei Tian asked, he also just finished offering incense to the Buddha statue.

"Yes, I wished everyone could be happy and healthy," Luo Yan answered honestly, smiling sweetly at his father.

Luo Wei Tian felt warm after hearing his son say that. He gently stroked his head. "Xiao Yan is such a good boy."

Luo Ren who also just finished offering incense also didn't forget to praise his brother. "Of course, Yan Yan is the best. You deserve all the happiness in the world."

Luo Jin who again witnessed his father and brother's 'show of love' almost rolled his eyes. Although he wouldn't go as far as calling his second brother a 'good boy', he agreed with his eldest brother that Luo Yan deserved all the happiness in the world.

Shen Yi Mu who was not as immune as Luo Jin already felt like his teeth were aching from all the family sweetness. He couldn't believe that a family consisting of all men could actually be this greasy with their affection. But he also felt a bit envious. If he ever tried to act like that with Ji Yun, that nephew of his would definitely look at him as if he had lost his mind.

They were about to leave the temple where the golden Buddha Statue was when Luo Yan noticed that there was one person missing in their party. Shen Ji Yun was nowhere to be seen.

He glanced at Shen Yi Mu. "Uncle Yi Mu, where's Brother Ji Yun?"

Shen Yi Mu turned to Luo Yan and smiled. "He just went out to buy something. Don't worry, he'll be back quickly."

Well, that was indeed the case. Sort of. When they arrived at Wenshu Monastery and was just walking towards this temple, Ji Yun just suddenly told him that he had to go somewhere. Before he could ask where, the other already ran off. After a while, he just received a message telling him not to make his sudden disappearance looked sketchy.

He could only sigh when he read that. Because that meant that wherever he went, it was for Luo Yan. Asking him not to make his sudden disappearance suspicious also meant that he didn't want Luo Yan's family to notice that he might be up to something. Which he definitely was, mind you.

Luo Yan didn't notice anything from Shen Yi Mu's expression, so he just nodded.

Speaking of buying something, he also had to call that shop he saw when he was searching in his phone for a good gift. He definitely couldn't just go there under the eyes of his father and brothers. Before he could buy the gift he wanted, he might end up being interrogated first. Besides, he also didn't want Shen Ji Yun to see him buying the gift. Because it would simply lack the element of surprise when he gave it to him.

So, the best solution he thought of was calling the shop to order and then asking them to deliver it to the Crowning Glory Hotel before evening. It's a good thing that the shop had that kind of service.

But before he rejoiced, he really should make that call first.

In the other side, Shen Ji Yun just entered a shop near the vicinity of Wenshu Monastery. It was a jade shop that sold all kinds of jade wares and accessories. So, when he walked inside, his sight was welcomed by all kinds of jade items.

What attracted him to this shop was their customized red-string bracelets with a small green jade attached to it. The customer could pick a black jade and ask the shop to engrave whatever character they wanted.

For those who wanted to have their bracelet as soon as possible, they could simply pick from their arrays of bracelets with ready-made carved character on them. That was one of the reasons why Shen Ji Yun picked this shop. Because there's a high probability that they already had the jade with the character he wanted.

Besides, he also liked the meaning of the red-string bracelet. It doesn't only represent luck and protection for the wearer, it could also represent the red-string of fate. That was actually just him hoping that the end of Luo Yan's red-string actually connected to his own red-strong.

His ears felt a bit hot just thinking of that.

One of the staffs of the shop walked to him. "What kind of jade item are you looking for, sir?"

"I want a red-string bracelet. The jade should be carved with the character for beautiful – 'Yan'."
