"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

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

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?

The woman being displayed in the board was full of haughtiness, her garbs were eye catching and so was the entourage behind her listening in the plans that she was probably doing. Zhi Ruo looked at the picture in a moment of silence, before she quirked her lips in disbelief."I will not reveal the name of the contestant that is being displayed, but please make your way towards me as we await for the nine others." The general drawled out, and as he said that Zhi Ruo and the others saw the peacock walk towards the general on the middle.Behind the peacock, Zhi Ruo saw her entourage looking smug as she swaggered her way at the middle. The people may not know her name, but they certainly know her face.

A snort came out of Zhi Ruo's lips when Wai Ling finally trudged forward towards where the rest of the ranked contestants were standing. There was an embarrassed blush spreading down her cheeks as she made eye contact with the young miss in the crowd.Though her blush died down when she saw Jiayi staring at her. It was unknown on whether the blush on Jiayi's ears were because she was embarrassed or if she was angry at the picture that was being displayed.With this, the difference between the 8th place and the 7th place were clearly apparent with the picture.There was a odd smile that formed on Zhi Ruo's lips as she gazed at the two women on stage that was standing side by side because of their places on the rankings, both looked liked they were very uncomfortable with how things worked out.<

The videos was displayed with three to four seconds each, and despite it's shortness in screentime, each of the videos struck the hearts of many.Along with the videos, there was also photos that displayed a heroic scene on everyone's mind. Zhi Ruo could not help but remember the many promotional videos of her company when she gazed her eyes up at the board.But the protagonist of the videos and pictures was not part of the Sighted Valley this time, but rather, it was part of the second placer's contestants. It wasn't hard to tell because of how loud the contestants of the second place was shouting.Unlike the third place te

The girl snatched the seeds from her senior brother's hands, as she put a foot down his spine, and with a push, Zhi Ruo kicked Yu Zhúlín forward. There wasn't a trace of hesitation on her actions, and Yu Zhúlín finally swallowed the seed that he was choking on abruptly.There wasn't much to be said, but the three of them did manage to get the general's gaze... again. Along with Zhi Ruo this time, the masked man beside her could not help but feel wronged at the attention he was receiving from the general.Yu Zhúlín threw a withering glare at Zhi Ruo, grumbling about Zhi Ruo not having an ounce of respect for her elders before he hesitatingly started to walk forward. Zhi Ruo crossed her arms behind him, unperturbed by how his glare sharpened. And how he was grumbling as he did so, the subject of his grumbling was her, but she did not obviously car

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
[The Auction House]
Zhi Ruo rolled her eyes. "Quit yapping you brat, and just follow me." The young miss went inside first, before Yuan Chuanli sighed behind her and followed her lead. Behind the boy genius, Ravel followed calmly carrying Zhi Ruo's luggage. Inside, Zhi Ruo adjusted the container of Zhōngguó, and faced Yuan Chuanli unflappable façade. Before scoffing after seeing that the boy genius wasn't as unflappable as he wanted to be seen in Zhi Ruo's eyes. The vehicle started moving as soon as everyone was seated, Ravel who had already been instructed as to what to do, took over as the driver of the vehicle. And slowly, they departed from the Sighted Valley safely. The journey would take about 6 hours under Zhi Ruo's estimation given the speed that they were going, it was enough to catch up with the auction, so Zhi Ruo let Ravel do his thing and instead focused on Yuan Chuanli.
[Where Are We Going Exactly?]
It has already been day since the talk with Yuan Chuanli. And unfortunately for the young genius, Zhi Ruo saw through her words efficiently and without any waste of time. Because not even an hour later, Yuan Chuanli who was enjoying his alone time in his 'own' pavilion, directly received a scroll from Ravel. And again without him noticing that damn butler's presence ;Or so he grumbles under his breath. He was torn in between considering Ravel's actions, rude, or considerate, because the moment he handed the scroll to him (without even a greeting) the butler had disappeared instantly without a word. The young genius was certainly glad he didn't have to spend time with idle chatter (as his etiquette calls him to do) and fake pleasantries, but he won't deny that Ravel's appearance 'who was without greetings' irked him a bit. Well, not really a bit. Yuan Chuanli just find it beneath him to get
[Loopholes]
Vaguely, Zhi Ruo could see Yuan Chuanli opening and closing his mouth like he was trying to formulate the right words that was on his mind. She could not help but compare him to a goldfish, it was already arguable enough that he also had the type of look that she would see 'in a goldfish '. Although she had motioned for the guy in front of her hurriedly, she didn't actually mind and was not in a hurry at all, she is already taking her time secretly. Her reason? Zhi Ruo thought that this type of actions was like a power trip. The young miss would never 'miss' such a chance, even if it's miniscule. Yuan Chuanli who digested every words Zhi Ruo said, was a bit speechless, but was starting to get used to Zhi Ruo's antics. He understood where Zhi Ruo was coming at. And he knows that 'she' was giving this type cooperation was for her own, and his, good. But having
[Eccentricity]
As if she didn't hear the uncertainty that coated each of Yuan Chuanli's words, Zhi Ruo tilted her head. "Didn't you hear me? I already said that grandfather's words are most likely to be excuses." Zhi Ruo waved her hands dismissively. Yuan Chuanli watched Zhi Ruo's careless actions and wanted to sigh. It was his luck to face such a indifferent and free willed heiress. He had finally decided to trust the rumors, that the true blooded Ye clan members are an eccentric bunch, more eccentric than the ancient cultivators that decided to live out of the current society. Yuan Chuanli thought that Ye Gu Shi was a weird one. He soon followed that thought with; that was because he hadn't met Zhi Ruo yet. "Even if the patriarch's words are excuses, I plan to follow his words exactly at face value." The guy said, causing Zhi Ruo to frown. Who knew that Yuan Chuanli was such a good law abider th
[Playmate deal]
Zhi Ruo abandoned the thought of pretending any longer, and instead, her expression morphed into a mischievous, teasing, scowl that indicated none of her true feelings with Yuan Chuanli's behavior. She expressed her fake disappointment by sneering and sarcastically commented, "Oh, come on, where's your sense of humor?" She then reached out and grabbed one of the cups that Ravel had set on the table for them. As Yuan Chuanli rolled his eyes at Zhi Ruo's comment, his doll-like face remained cool and collected, displaying an unflappable composure that seemed at odds with his present company. It was clear that the young genius was used to a life of refinement and elegance, and even the slight hint of vulgarity in Zhi Ruo's tone, even though it was fake, was enough to make him visibly roll his eyes. "Pretend I don't have one," he said, his voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm. It sounded like he was trying to copy Zhi Ruo's tone, however it sounded awkward on his tongue as he didn't us
[You know else starts with "T" other than Tea? Tension.]
Yuan Chuanli reclined in his chair, studying Zhi Ruo intently with his cool, calculating gaze. Uncertain of what her next move would be, he remained silent, allowing Zhi Ruo to take the lead in the conversation. Zhi Ruo sat in front of him, her mask covering her face and her hands folded neatly in her lap. Despite Yuan Chuanli's intense scrutiny, she remained composed and unperturbed. Her eyes, though hidden behind the mask, betrayed a sharp intelligence and a quiet confidence, as if she knew something that he didn't. Yuan Chuanli couldn't help but feel a twinge of unease as he studied her posture, which was relaxed but poised, as if she was ready for anything. He wondered what secrets she was hiding behind that mask, and what kind of person would be so calm in the face of his scrutiny. All of a sudden, a laugh escaped Zhi Ruo's mouth. It rang inside the well furnished room, as if it was fir
[The clash of pride and duty]
If one were to happen upon the scene, without any prior knowledge of the situation, they would undoubtedly assume that Yuan Chuanli was being kidnapped. The look of indignant and reluctance on his face, coupled with the fact that he looked like was being forced to follow Zhi Ruo from behind, would be enough to make anyone suspicious. The resident genius's expression was a mixture of hesitance, frustration, and a poor attempt of getting his poker face back on. His face contorted in discomfort as he trailed behind the heiress, if anything, the only thing missing would be his eyes darting around nervously in search of a way out. Zhi Ruo, on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed by her companion's distress, or if she even noticed it at all. She marched forward confidently, her head held high and her gaze fixed ahead, as if she were completely in control of the situation. Despite the obvious discomfort of her companion,
[A meeting of Minds and Masks]
After much bargaining, and Zhi Ruo's display of 'im going to go even if you disagree anyways' Ye Gu Shi relented at last. Though Zhi Ruo did not miss how there were looks exchanged between Ravel and her grandfather, with her in the middle. The girl wonders if her butler and grandfather truly hadn't thought that she could see their little exchange above her head. And maybe Zhi Ruo did regret a little on how she ignored Ravel's report on her grandfather. It wasn't her fault that she really, badly, wanted to sleep at that time. One shouldn't be deprived of sleep you know. Nonetheless, she figured that the looks that they exchange between them, was mainly for her own good. And so ,she didn't care. It probably was something related to her safety anyways. She got what she wanted in the end, it was a win win situation. Her grandfather asked to borrow her plaque and Zhi Ruo handed it without much thought. Ye Gu Shi sighed when he received the plaque and told Zhi Ruo that she would need he
