Chapter 744 - YUNYUE FOR ARCADIA CUP
LUO YAN'S conversation with Shen Ji Yun halted because he was called for dinner. The two had to end the video call and hung up the phone. Luo Yan almost chuckled when he saw the obvious reluctance on Shen Ji Yun's face. But at the end, the other still told him to enjoy his dinner.
He walked out of his room with a smile. Anyone who would see him could tell that he was in a good mood. How could he not be? He and Luo Jin were the finalists for this year's Rookie Carnival.
Although he was already determined to win the whole Carnival, he still didn't know how things would go. There might be some accident in the way and he might not even reach the semi-finals. The same could be said for Luo Jin. But as luck would have it, both of them managed to win their way until the finals.
This result would not only make their father and older brother happy, it could also increase the fame of team Yunyue. The finalists of this year's Rookie Carnival were both from Yunyue, wouldn't that increase the prestige of their team? The two strongest rookies of this year were a part of the team they kept on calling 'fallen champions'. That would be kind of a slap on those people's faces.
With their addition to the team, many would definitely speculate that Yunyue was planning to participate in the next season of Arcadia Cup. That's good in Luo Yan's opinion. Because then the number of people who would have doubts in their hearts once they heard about Yunyue participating in Arcadia Cup next year would definitely lessen. Well, at least not as many if Luo Yan and Luo Jin did not join the team.
This was not him boasting and feeling all superior, as if he and his brother were the savior of the team. It's because before they joined Yunyue, it only had three members. Three strong players. No matter how strong they were, they couldn't participate in Arcadia Cup with just the three of them. Because the first requirement of Arcadia Cup was for a team to have five members.
But now, that was no longer a problem.
Luo Yan was truly looking forward to next year's Cup. Their team would definitely rock it.
Just as he was about to walk towards the dining room, he saw his father climbing down the stairs. Remembering the way he acted during the match with Winged Tassel and thinking that his father watched him act that way, he felt a bit embarrassed. But he quickly thickened his face and rushed towards his father, hugging the other's arm.
"Dad, what do you think about my last match? I'm quite amazing, right?" he asked in a very shameless manner, acting coquettish.
Luo Wei Tian glanced down at his second son. Seeing the other's expectant gaze, what else could he say?
"Yes, Xiao Yan was very amazing and powerful. While watching you, your dad was in awe. How could I have such amazing sons? Your dad is very proud of you and Xiao Jin."
Luo Yan stared at the other. Seeing the genuine proud expression on his father's face, he finally felt relieved. He probably shouldn't be worried in the first place. How could his father ever think that he's weird? With that, all his worries disappeared and his steps became light as a feather again.
He smiled brightly. "Thank you, Dad!"
----------
Thirty minutes before the finals, the headquarters of team Yunyue was full of people once again. Well, at least more than it usually was.
"My cousins are really great!" Bai Ze said excitedly while messing up the hair of both his cousins. "It's the finals of the Rookie Carnival! Whoever wins between the two of you, the champion would still be a member of team Yunyue. This is a great honor for our team!"
He would like to see the faces of those who kept on mocking their team right now. See, both of the finalists of this year's Carnival belonged to their team. Would they even dare to call them 'fallen champions'? No, they're now the 'reviving champions'.
Luo Jin quickly ducked to further avoid the other messing up his hair. Luo Yan also did the same, it's just that his movement didn't show that he was purposely avoiding the other.
Su Yuqi snorted when she heard what Bai Ze said. "Winning the Carnival has nothing to do with Yunyue. Reaching this point is only because of their hard work."
"Hey, don't make sound like a douche, okay? I'm just excited for the future of our team," Bai Ze quickly defended himself. "Don't you want to participate in Arcadia Cup again?"
Su Yuqi shrugged, as if it didn't matter whether their team participated in the Cup or not. In which Bai Ze rolled his eyes.
"Does Yan Yan want to join the Arcadia Cup as well?" Shen Ji Yun suddenly asked. He wasn't really interested in the Cup just like Su Yuqi. But if Luo Yan wanted to, then, maybe it's time for their team to go out of its hibernation.
"Yes, I want our team to be the next champions!" Luo Yan didn't hesitate to answer.
Hearing that, Shen Ji Yun made a decision at that moment. Yunyue would participate in Arcadia Cup next year and they would take the championship.
"Is this Arcadia Cup another tournament?" Luo Ren asked.
"Yes, Brother Ren. It's an annual tournament that determines the best team in Arcadia," Bai Ze answered.
"If Yunyue decided to participate next year, you can order weapons and armors in my shop. I- I'll give discounts!" Yu Jiao added.
Although Luo Wei Tian didn't understand much what these kids were talking about, he still said, "Then, I'll personally cheer on all of you."
With the conversation about the Arcadia Cup continuing, the time left for the finals slowly dwindled.. Until it's time for them to teleport to the Floating Coliseum once again.
