The fight started with fervor, both fighters were evenly matched that the battle felt exciting to watch. But both clearly did not display their full potential. So Zhi Ruo got comfy on her seat and and surveyed the food that was on the table.   Only to find the chips and cans of soda she had given out completely empty, and the only ones left on the table was different kinds of seeds. Zhi Ruo could feel her head throb in irritation and annoyance when she happened to glance around the table and found everyone hording the chips.    She was out of steam, and she currently doesn't want to open her lotus mark. And the food in her ring that she snuggled from her lotus mark was already empty due to everyone's ceaseless eating.   With nothing left to do, Zhi Ruo turned her attention back to the fighting going on the hologram board after she took out

"Your granddaughter is a very interesting cultivator, I actually could not feel a trace of technique being conjured up by her. But she emanaged to control the sand like that." From beside patriarch Ye, a man stroked his beard and said his thoughts aloud. "What in the world did you teach her old man?"   Patriarch Ye laughed over the cup of tea he had on his hand. His eyes looked at the man beside him a little bit mischievously, it was almost identical to Zhi Ruo's gazes when she knows something. "Truth to be told, I didn't even teach her anything, she managed to achieve all that without my help."    His proud tone attracted the attention of everyone on the room that was eavesdropping. Other than patriarch Ye and the man beside him. There were also five other people around that was watching the hologram board together.   "Your granddaughter

The smiling girl's expression returned to normal after a millisecond, as if she did not slip her mask off. "What do you mean?" The girl pretended to dumb as she asked the question with a tilted head. But the fact that the confusion that laced on her voice was layed on way to thick and way too fake, Zhi Ruo would've thought that her reaction was genuine.   Sadly, as much as Zhi Ruo knows how fake it with her expressions, she also has the uncanny ability to know if someone was lying or not just by a glance. And the smiling girl certainly does not know how to hide it well enough, but Zhi Ruo could say that she did it decently.   Everyone could feel the smile lacing on the masked man's face upon hearing the smiling girl's response. "I wonder, if you truly don't know what I mean." He said, almost knowingly.   The two masked individuals in the room s

Zhi Ruo turned her attention to to bunny girl seeing that the talisman woman won't be able to walk anywhere, and she can't do anything to her for the time being.    She was swift on her steps, and her attention zeroed on her target. Zhi Ruo moved at her full speed, knowing that she can't make any mistakes here or she will most likely lose her head at my given given slip up. She doesn't want to be the next person to lay her body on the hard concrete slab of the arena.   When Zhi Ruo is serious, she is undoubtedly is very meticulous. To the point where every move of her fingers was calculated.    When Zhi Ruo struck the seemingly distracted bunny looking girl, she knew instantly that the bunny looking girl knew what she was doing. And Zhi Ruo 'also' knew that the bunny looking girl would dodge, the girl didn't take any chances upon seei

Zhi Ruo brushed passed the door and went inside the room, she took a good look at everyone who was eyeing her with a knowing look. She loomed at the entrance for a bit unsure as to where this knowing look even came from and why it as thrown at her. Nonetheless Zhi Ruo took a seat back to her place.    The younger girl ignored the look Yu Zhúlín gave to her and proceeded to reach out the seeds at the table.    "Congrats." The 5th placer spoke aloud addressing Zhi Ruo with a small smile on his face. He watched as Zhi Ruo gave a small nod in acknowledgement towards his direction. His small smile turned into a pleased one.   The 9th over also turned his attention to Zhi Ruo upon seeing that she wasn't as pissy as before. "It seems like you are going to the finals." He told her, eyeing the bracket on the sides only displaying
