Chapter 452: meeting someone familiar

LUO YAN stared at this unusual looking elf who's staring daggers at him and he couldn't shake off the feeling that he had seen him somewhere.  If he got passed the grayish-blue skin, this male elf was actually quite pretty with a slender body and fine facial features.  And that feeling that he had seen that face lingered in his mind for the second time.

"Do you need something?" he asked.

The male elf snorted derisively.  Luo Yan was sure that the next thing that would come out of his mouth would be no good.  But before the other could speak, a male beastkin suddenly appeared beside the unusual looking elf.

The beastkin had black round ears on top of his equally black hair.  Behind him was a black tail similar to that of a cat's.  This guy was probably a panther beastkin.  He was tall and lithe.  He had this carefree aura around him, as if nothing could ever trouble him. 

"Sorry, my friend here didn't mean to disturb you.  He's just cranky and always come off as rude," the panther beastkin said with a hippy smile.

Luo Yan raised one of his brows.  Judging by the way the elf was glaring at him earlier and how he transferred that glare to the beastkin, he truly doubted that.  In fact, he believed that the elf was indeed antagonistic towards him.

"Liang Sen, what do you think you're doing?" the elf shouted at the beastkin he called 'Liang Sen'.

Liang Sen glanced at the elf and whispered to him, "I could say the same thing to you!  I know you're annoyed these days because of Huang Wen, but venting your anger on an unrelated person is not only childish, it's also very mean.  I already told you that this will be broadcasted live.  If you pick a fight here for no reason, you will surely be known as a villain.  Especially since the person you're picking a fight with already had a number of fans.  Do you want that?"

Although this Liang Sen whispered to the elf, Luo Yan still captured some of it.  Particularly the name 'Huang Wen'.  He only knew one person with that name.  His classmate who was particularly a jerk at first.  But then later, he realized that the other wasn't really that bad.  He just had his own misconceptions about him and Luo Jin.  Making him antagonistic towards him at first.

After hearing that name, he finally remembered where he had seen the elf.  His face was the same as that of the teenager who once pushed him out of the elevator in school.  As revenge, he tripped him.  Things would have probably gone more chaotic if not for Huang Wen and Yu Jiao appearing at the same time.

Having the same face as that pretty boy teenager and with this Liang Sen mentioning Huang Wen, it was safe to say that they were probably the same person.  What was his name again?

Yi- Yang- ah!  Ying Chen.

Luo Yan was indeed correct.  This elf was that Ying Chen. 

Ying Chen had been in a bad mood in a couple of days now because of his childhood friend Huang Wen.  It all started before the start of the one-week National holiday.  Huang Wen told him out of the blue that that Luo Yan brat was cute.  His hair almost blew up when he heard that.

He still hadn't forgotten that incident when that brat tripped him in front of so many people.  And the worst of all, Huang Wen chose to side with that brat instead of him. 

Hearing Huang Wen say that he thought the brat was cute was almost the last straw.  He quarreled with Huang Wen and he had been in a bad mood since. 

And now, in this game where he could let out all his frustration, he suddenly saw someone who looked like that brat Luo Yan.  He heard from the people around that this elf was called 'Noctis'.  Looking at the white-haired elf was like he was looking at that grown-up version of that brat.  In terms of appearance, the other was better than him in every angle.  How could he not be annoyed?

His mind just blanked and before he knew it, he was already walking towards the other.  He just wanted to find someone to vent his anger on.

It never occurred to him that the other was the real Luo Yan.  He heard how overprotective the Luo family was over that brat.  There's no way they would allow him to play this violent game.  This elf here probably just had some features similar to that brat and then used the maximum beautification, that's why he looked like this.  Even so, Ying Chen couldn't help but transfer his annoyance of Luo Yan to this elf.

But Liang Sen really just had to intervene.  Now, he was regretting a bit why he agreed on going to this Rookie Carnival with the other.  But then again, Liang Sen did have a point.  Even though he knew he wouldn't be easily recognized because of how the special race he got looked, he still didn't want to be called a villain.

So, at the end, he could only snort and walked away.  Of course, not before giving the white-haired elf one last stinky eye.

"Sorry about that," Liang Sen said apologetically before running after Ying Chen.

"What the heck was that about?" Luo Jin said.

He was actually about to shot that elf if he tried to attack his second brother.  It's a shame that someone came to stop the elf's unreasonableness or else the other would have been swimming on the sea now.

Luo Yan shrugged.  "I have no idea.  Maybe he just had something against beautiful people."

After all, he had once been attacked by that guy one for no reason.  And now, he was antagonistic towards him for no reason again.       

Luo Jin only looked at him with eyes silently telling him 'how narcissistic can you be?'.

Luo Yan ignored that and just said, "By the way, that guy is probably from the same school as us."

Luo Jin's eyes widened, obviously shocked hearing that.  "What?  Do you think he recognized me?"

Luo Yan looked at his younger brother from head to toe.  "I highly doubt it."

Luo Jin was about to response when a loud horn suddenly sounded.  And it was followed by an announcement;

[Dear players participating in the Rookie Carnival, we're now about to depart!]
