Reborn in another world [Of wills and tongue]
Knuckles white, Yu Zhúlín found some leverage and ripped the shackles that was wrapped themselves securely around his joints, rendering him unable to move at all. Thep wind around him blew stronger, propelling up in the air even longer, interfering with what Alberu wanted.And that was to bring Yu Zhúlín down to the ground where he could reach him. But Yu Zhúlín's wind was strong. And Alberu who was trying to drag Yu Zhúlín to the ground using the shackles made out of light, was about to be blown away from Yu Zhúlín's strong winds that Alberu was unable to defend upon.There was a manic glint on Yu Zhúlín's eyes, as the wind around him picked up."Are you not tired?" Alberu panted, his breath labored but the strength of the light shackles only became stronger in time."I could say the same thing to you." With a contorted face Yu Zhúlín replied, the chains were blocking his airways. And it became hard for Yu Zhúlín to breathe.But the light shackles was not the only one that became st

"I've never seen such thing on top of a tongue before." The old mans in the room chattered amongst themselves, impressed by Yu Zhúlín's intuitiveness. "I have truly lived long enough." The old man sighed to himself, and a bunch echoed his words silently.Yuan Chuanli however hummed to himself listening to the chatter around him. He turned to the Patriarch beside. "Is it truly as rare as they say it to be?" He asked, he looked for a confirmation. But received a chuckle from Ye Gu Shi instead."In the outside world; outside the Ye clan territories. The rune masters live in seclusion, and when they truly want to use their mastery. They usually inscribed it unto the skin or to weapons." The patriarch started, he stroked his beard. "You saw how some people have markings on their arms right? Looking like a bunch of tattoos."Yuan Chuanli nodded, he did notice some cultivators occasionally have those up their arms or back. "Those people probably sought help from rune masters. Very rarely wou

It was a stalemate, however Yu Zhúlín's mouth was starting to bleed. His vision was starting to have black spots on them. And it wasn't long before he passed out on the air.The roaring winds stopped, and the lighting disappeared. Yu Zhúlín's wide eyes blanked out , and he slumpped on the air without notice.Alberu who was pulling Yu Zhúlín down, crashed the green haired man to the ground after he blanked out, not expecting that Yu Zhúlín would lose conscience like that. Alberu hissed as he moved his injured arm, the light shackles around Yu Zhúlín loosened a bit."You could've told me you were going to faint." Alberu muttered going near the limp body of Yu Zhúlín. The thorns that was ledge deep inside Yu Zhúlín's body retracted without mercy. Blood seeped out from the wounds on his body.If Yu Zhúlín was awake, he would've clawed Alberu's mask off his face out of anger. How would he know that he was going to faint. Much less inform his opponent beforehand.But Yu Zhúlín remained limp
Reborn in another world [3 pills] pt2
Ravel burst into the room, his hand under tucked inside his sleeves, he had this impenetrable smile on his face that was odd in a room full of panicked expression. His entrance was grand, however nobody even had the time to look at his direction. Because a pool of blood was already staining, the floor, so much that it was a very gory sight to see. It was hard to believe that all these blood came from one person only, and it was the dead— but not dead 'yet' person on the table that the medics were trying to save by trying to close the wounds that was far too many to count.Ravel observed the situation, his amusement reached its peak when he saw that nobody was looking at his direction despite his grand entrance. He walked towards the clamouring medics, and shoved one or two out of the way. Despite the curses that was thrown at his way, it could not stop the curious gazes that was shot at the butler's back.Ravel leaned in unto Yu Zhúlín's face after shoving the head medic out of the
Reborn in another world [Curiousity]
Yu Zhúlín's complexion started to visibly look fine after Ravel waited out for a minute or two. His breathing became stable, and he didn't look as pasty as he did before. His wounds had closed, his bloodloss restored, and he was regenerating Qi properly now because he was given the pills by Ravel.Seeing the seemingly dead patient on the table come back to life just like that. There wasn't anything that the head medic could say, instead he opened and closed his mouth like an gaping fish as he stared at Ravel with uncertainty coating his expression. There was a odd silence where Yu Zhúlín's breathing was the only thing that could be heard in the room.And Ravel who was hovering above the unconscious body of Yu Zhúlín was the only person in the room that had a smile on his face. The butler leaned back after a while of observing. He put his hands together, and clapped.This caught everyone off guard, and when I said everyone, Yu Zhúlín who was sleeping on the table was included. The unco
Reborn in another world [If taking food was a bribe, then Yu Zhúlín considered himself bribed]
Yu Zhúlín looked away from Ravel's expression. His own brows were furrowing and he revealed a small discontented frown on his face. He moved his shoulders, and shrugged."Were you the one that saved me?" He asked, already knowing the full incompetency of the team of medics that was attending on the tournament. It made Yu Zhúlín wonder if they truly had saved someone's life with the level of expertise that they are showing. Surely not. It was hard for him to see these group of medics helped save anyone in a life threatening situation. The best these people could do was nurse up some scratches and prop up some dislocated joints here and there. So when Yu Zhúlín asked if Ravel saved him, he already knew the answer even before hearing it.And truly to his expectations. Ravel nodded, however, the butler shook his head afterwards. "You know, I follow a master right?" The Butler said knowingly. "Would I really act to my own accord to save you, sir Yu Zhúlín?" He added, there was a mischie
Reborn in another world [Extra time]
However, before Yu Zhúlín could reply a set of footsteps appeared behind Ravel. The door swung open, and Ravel turned around to see his master —and Yu Zhúlín's young miss and junior sister— standing at the doorway with a trace of frown on her masked face. From the distance between them, Ravel and Yu Zhúlín, they could feel the ire that was coming off Zhi Ruo. The smile on Ravel's face faltered, and as if it was his instincts, he went near Zhi Ruo to stand at her side. "Master," Ravel greeted, he bowed to Zhi Ruo who only proceeded to nod at his direction. There was a trace of apprehension on Yu Zhúlín's face that wasn't hidden, even after he lowered his head and bowed towards Zhi Ruo's direction. Zhi Ruo's eyes surveyed and scanned the room, and noticed the bloody mess Yu Zhúlín's blood made with a critical eye. She ignored the vague restlessness in Ravel's stance and faced the two men in the room. "Why were you guys taking so long?" She asked, she crossed her arms over her chest a
Reborn in another world ["He didn't know that he would get that far" neither did I—]
Zhi Ruo's words fell like a heavy weight, plunging the room into an uncomfortable silence. Yu Zhúlín and Ravel exchanged glances, their eyes meeting in a momentary connection that spoke volumes. Zhi Ruo, keenly observant, caught the unspoken exchange, but chose to remain silent, tilting her head slightly as if to acknowledge the hidden meaning she had perceived. Confused as to what the two talked about beforehand for them to have an interaction like this. "I am healed, but I'm grateful to have some extra time to gather myself back up." Yu Zhúlín nodded, not a hint of mischievousness and ignorance was seen on his face. "I am not exactly in the right state of clothing, as you can see." Yu Zhúlín motioned to his half naked body. Zhi Ruo's understanding nod carried a hint of empathy as she resonated with Yu Zhúlín's predicament. She, too, yearned for the luxury of time, a precious respite from the impending task that loomed over her. However, her loyal butler's presence and her own inna

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
