2022-10-03 21:11:00Zhi Ruo managed to look around at the plans scattered around the table, while Jiayi was still kneeling with a blade to her neck. It was a wise decision for Jiayi to stay silent and do nothing to resist until Zhi Ruo was done with looking around.
Because the Ye clan members would not hesitate to draw blood from her throat of she really dared to resist. The Ye clan were prideful people, especially so because they were called great that they are prideful.
Having Zhi Ruo being insulted in front of them, irked them as much as it irked Zhi Ruo herself. After all, they finally got an heiress, if anything happened to the heiress or if they did not obey their heiress. Regardless of whether they are currently in a competition or not, the chances of their head flying was pretty much guaranteed.

Heck, she even saw a guy enter and get out of a store threw times, and nobody batted an eyelid.Within a minute of walking around, as everyone started to prepare for the day. She saw a few Sighted Valley team members walking out from an alleyway. She was pleased to see that at least these members did not go out individually but in teams of three to four.The sun was creeping up, as dawn ended. And within a few minutes the raid that her team planned out would go in full swing. In the meantime, Zhi Ruo leaped into one of the establishment's roof on broad daylight.

"You called?" Zhōngguó materialized beside Zhi Ruo peeking from best her. He glanced at the pile of pink balls beside Zhi Ruo who was holding 5 on each hand."How good is your aim?" Zhi Ruo asked, she watched as Zhōngguó kneel down to take ten on each hand. She on the other hand was stretching her shpulders."Pretty good." Zhōngguó replied copying Zhi Ruo's actions. He didn't ask questions, though he already had an inkling as to what was going to be happening.He doesn't know what to expect with this master of his, he wonders if he was an unlucky artifact or he was a lucky artifact for being bound with such a unhinged person. Though, he considers that this would be his good luck acting up, after all, he heard that weird people usually attracts good stuff.(Just a

"Kyahahahaha!" Zhi Ruo laughed, but she hurriedly muffled her laughter when she saw the dark look that Yu Zhúlín shot her amidst the battle that was taking on.She stretched her mouth thin into a half smile, her expression under her mask looked to be almost sheepish. Zhi Ruo turned her back after seeing the look Yu Zhúlín gave her. She'd deal with her senior later, for now, she watched as pink fumes blew into the air.The contestants on the second placer's team could not do anything as the powder stuck to them as if it was part of their skin. They could only wait until they blow up. Some contestants even started to down themselves with water, but to no avail as the powder had already seeped into their skin.As Zhi Ruo was running, the masked man looked at the scene in front of him in incredulity.

Zhi Ruo and the masked man managed to escape the senses of their opponents, and they took this chance to escape towards the heart of the opponents base. Which was the tower."Don't we need to be more careful?" The masked man asked as he ducked under the window of the room they were currently in. Beside him was Zhi Ruo who was playing with Zhōngguó's form, which was in the size of a cola bottle.She paused and slipped Zhōngguó back to his case before facing the masked man.In the mean time, they were in a hotel with a clear view of the tower. As to how they got in the hotel without the locals and the second placer's team noticing. It is safe to say that they got the room through illegal means.Zhi Ruo had followed the masked man's lead, and highjacked a empty room t

With a grace of an expert's hand, Zhi Ruo opened the briefcase swiftly to reveal the parts of a sniper rifle. The masked man looked on curiously, as Zhi Ruo's hands almost blurred picking up different pieces of the gun and assembling it with uncanning familiarity.The only sound of the room that could be heard, was the clicking of the parts as they clicked together to form the gun. There was a furrow the on the masked man's brows under his mask seeing something familiar at the barrel of the gun."Is that...an array?" His curiosity got over him as he could not help but ask aloud. His observation was proven correct when he saw Zhi Ruo nod affirmatively."Yeah, it is." Zhi affirmed holding the heavy gun on her arms. She set it at the table with ease and opened the briefcase again to reveal a second compartment. The hidden compartment w

They went ballistic.Who went ballistic? Zhi Ruo and the masked masked man of course. Right after Zhi Ruo explained the characteristics of the gun, the masked man instantly got a hold on how to operate everything. He was so excited that he went as far as giving Zhi Ruo a artifact that can hide her from the senses of people that has realms higher than her.When Zhi Ruo asked why he gave the artifact to her, the direct response of the masked man was because Zhi Ruo would be a hindrance for him to test out the gun that she gave to him.Zhi Ruo earnestly looked at her gun upon hearing his response.This directly earned him a rightful bullet that graced next to his head as a warning shot, this reminded him that it was Zhi Ruo who gave him the gun in the first place and she can most certain
Reborn in another world [Unmovable place]
When Zhi Ruo put her eyes through the scope again, she saw that the masked man she thought was still in his place, was now approaching the crowd of Sighted Valley members with the large gun strapped on his back. To say that Zhi Ruo was annoyed would be an understatement.She was annoyed but she didn't confront the group as one might expect her too, unlike the masked man Zhi Ruo stayed comfortably in her position without any qualms.After that, everything went smoothly that it was almost anticlimactic. The Sighted Valley shotgunned through the board, and the second placer's team left the rankings within a blink of an eye.Although the Sighted Valley suffered some casualties, they stayed strong after defeating the second placer. And the third placer directly overtook the second place. But the point gap was simply too great, the
Reborn in another world [Unexpected Ranking]
Thankfully though, Zhi Ruo got the few hundred points and the Sighted Valley remained on top. She sent the masked man to nag the leaders of the tower about this. And he willingly agreed.As to why he willingly agreed, that was because Zhi Ruo told him that if he does this, the gun would be his (coupled with a few more bullets though). Being the guy that he is, he didn't ask furthermore questions and did what Zhi Ruo said, in his mind the gun was quite a steal. He could not get go as he grew fond of it.With that, the second placer changed again, but this time the remaining teams merely waited for the tournament to end. Their was many unwilling contestants that refused to stay still. And Zhi Ruo understood their feelings well.But what could they do? When their team was already in shambles and it was useless to fight alone. Because in the

[Surveillance] pt 2
The young women heard the middle aged woman's words, turned to look at the woman's hands who was dearly gripping the wine guard, and with a last huff she stayed silent. She looked resigned almost, as if she didn't want to argue anymore. Only the downturn of her lips were apparent in her features as she gaze blankly ahead.Seeing the silent treatment that the young women was putting on, the middle aged man's lips upturned into a smirk. The smugness was radiating off him as he straightened his back, the self assured confidence that radiated off him disgusted everyone in the room. Watching him put on a coat that was far too big for his status couldn't stop the looks of contempt that was shot on his way.As if he didn't notice the look that everyone was shooting at him. The middle aged man's eyes trailed away from the riches that the host was putting up to sell, and unto the pile of gold that was set at the corner of the room. Hi
[Surveillance]
Zhi Ruo's focus was on the host the moment the auction started, she placed her chin on the palm of her hand as she leaned on her knees looking ahead. Yuan Chuanli on the other hand, crossed his arms and leaned back on his chair, over looking the whole event with a 'ah, finally' written all over his face.Though his haughtiness was apparent on his face— well written on his facial expressions— the fact that his eyes kept in flickering on the other private rooms (much like the one that they were inside now) couldn't be kept hidden. At least, not from Zhi Ruo who was keenly aware of everything that was happening 10 meters around her."No matter how much you turn your head towards those rooms, you would never see what is inside them." Zhi Ruo spoke out, her eyes didn't leave the host who was explaining the rules of the auction per instructions. "Just keep your eyes peeled, the auction is just getting started." Her voice lightly adviced.
[Telltale]
[Qiao Liwei Auction house]Zhi Ruo gracefully accepted the outstretched hand offered by Ravel, who was dressed in his servant clothes. The only difference was, he had taken upon himself to don a white mask with no holes for the eyes nose and mouth. Stepping down from the carriage they had taken from the opulent mansion after their— quote on quote "satisfying lunch", she found Yuan Chuanli awaiting their arrival. As he had went out before her.His imposing figure stood tall, the clan's emblem prominently displayed on his back, drawing curious gazes from onlookers nearby. Both the participants of the auction and the bystanders that had nothing else to do but waut outside the auction house to try and take a good look of the rarely seem rich people.Zhi Ruo stepped beside Yuan Chuanli with a similar robe on her shoulders, adorning the Ye clan symbol of a similar fashion. She didn't mind the stares that was aimed at her, because in the first place, she didn't want to hide, nor cared to hid
[The Mansion]
With a brisk and determined pace, one that Yuan Chuanli grew to familiarize, Zhi Ruo arrived at the mansion she knew so well. Well, as much you can know from the daily reports of your butler that is. As she stepped inside, she couldn't help but notice the striking metamorphosis that had taken place. The familiar building and grounds remained, yet the ambiance and energy of the house had undergone a remarkable transformation. As Zhi Ruo led the way, Yuan Chuanli quietly followed, his initial grumbling fading away. Their path unveiled a street of lavish grandeur, unmistakably tailored for the privileged few who could afford such opulence. Yuan Chuanli couldn't help but entertain the thought that Zhi Ruo had led them astray. However, any words that formed on his lips died as his tongue was suddenly glued to the top of his mouth, he observed Zhi Ruo confidently and nonchalantly enter one of the most expansive estates.
[The Maid's Incompetence]
Yuan Chuanli stretched his hands upwards his shoulders popping in the motion, his face sported a refreshed look of satisfaction as he went out of the building with light steps. Obviously in a good mood. In the far distance, he could see Zhi Ruo's figure as she talked with her butler. He could not see Zhi Ruo's expression, but he certainly can see Ravel's.Without wasting anytime, he made his way towards the two with a look of inquiry. "The auction will start around one in the afternoon, it's still daytime and we haven't even gotten our lunch yet. What does the young miss intend to do?" Yuan Chuanli folded his hands underneath his clothes as he walked towards the duo.Upon hearing Yuan Chuanli, Ravel nodded his head. "Deciple Yuan Chuanli is right young miss, it would be advisable to eat before we attend the auction." Like a responsible servant, Ravel suggested to follow Yuan Chuanli's words. The two looked at Zhi Ruo's mask,
[Tassle]
The servant with the tassle smiled upon hearing Zhi Ruo's words, it was a tight lipped smile, as if she was saying that she knew something Zhi Ruo didn't. "It was the head that gave the order to give this to the young miss. I am to inform you that the resources that you chose and won from the tournament, along with the deed of the training ground, the plaque of the noble title, and the merit points, are inside the plaque in your hands."The servant's hands motioned for the rest of the servants in the room to line up at the sides, earning Yuan Chuanli's silent gaze. Zhi Ruo raised her brows upon hearing the servant's words, she then tied the plaque in the insides of her robe after shooting a nod towards the servant with a tassle."The head has had the heiress plaque be customize so that it can store storage now. The patriarch advices the young miss to not lose the plaque because it has now become more valuable than a mansion in the capital." The
[She's the heir]
Yuan Chuanli raised his hands and clenched on thin air as if he was clawing the clear sky above him, his face was red with unconcealed rage, and he looked close to launching himself towards Zhi Ruo. Who, even without showing the expression on her face because of her mask, still manage to annoy him to no end.Yuan Chuanli quickly realized that pretenses were useless in front of the person who is like Zhi Ruo. Because regardless of how you act in front of her her, in the end, if she is in the mood, you would be left coughing up blood in rage. Yuan Chuanli wasn't called 'boy genius ' for nothing, as he learned fast. And Yuan Chuanli learned to stop trying to control his emotions in front of Zhi Ruo, because Zhi Ruo wouldn't care if he broke his 'boy genius' façade anyways. The boy genius cannot help but feel rather offended of this somehow.But before he could do anything drastic, a woman greeted Yuan Chuanli
[Curious]
"Interesting people you say..." The owner echoed Alberu's words. The side of her lips pulled up in a quirk. A flash of uncertainty crossed her eyes looking at the representative of the Liu clan being led by her staff. 'Those guys are pretty bold to come inside without any disguises, are they not afraid of others spreading rumours? It's already bad enough that General Liu is already rumoured to have taken a bad turn in terms of his health. Now his people are coming in so brazenly. How careless, to think they even displayed their logo so proudly on their chests.' Yang Meixiang closed her fan, and tapped it gently on her palm, her thoughts were full of dissatisfaction towards the representatives of the Liu clan. Full of judgement she may have, but she could not voice these thoughts aloud.'Its also very unusual for his two concubine borne daughters to not appear in the socialite circles. In most cases, in big auctions like these, they are usually the first in line to book a private roo
[Information]
As if he doesn't know what was running through Yang Meixiang's head, Alberu turned his head and was heading straight towards the seat that was meant for the owner of the room. Which mind you, wasn't him.The owner could not help but break her expression upon seeing Alberu's audacity. It was clear to her that the masked man never put her in his eyes. But she could only open and close her mouth, knowing that she cannot afford to step on the toes of this young man. The fan on her hand fluttered quickly for a split second before Yang Meixiang chose to quietly regain her bearings. "Indeed I am busy these days..." The masked man crossed his legs as he made himself comfortable in Yang Meixiang's seat. "I hear you sell information?" He promptly changed the topic, his head tilting towards Yang Meixiang's direction. Even without seeing his eyes, Yang Meixiang knew that the young master wasn't in the mood for joking or beating around
