2023-01-04 16:43:56Silently, the men on the podium agreed with Zhi Ruo's words, not that they'd say on her face directly though. Who knows, Zhi Ruo was an impulsive one, and she is crafty too. It was hard not to believe that Zhi Ruo would not use your words against you in a verbal spat.
The masked man was fighting his opponent, it was a bulky man. One that you would see on the streets and would instantly tell that the man works out. And judging from how the man flexed his pectorial muscles in a way that Zhi Ruo could tell was an unconscious doing. The man was undoubtedly proud of the muscles that he aquired.Zhi Ruo scratched her head silently, looking on the fight that was going in front of her. Oddly enough, the masked man's opponent looked oddly similar with her previous opponent. Ever since she entered the tournament, she has been seeing real bulky men around. And she truly hoped that bulky men that looked like hulk wasn't the new trend that was running around

"Coincidence right?" Huo Feng asked, chewing his food. He inclined his head towards the masked man who was putting away the gun as the practitioner approached him. Outside their barrier, everyone could hear the announcer's excited voice, blabbering about the masked man's Win.The three could not help but look at the masked man's opponent on the ground, in the background the practitioner was announcing the masked man as the winner in his battle. Zhi Ruo of course knew what Huo Feng was talking about, he was asking that it was probably a coincidence that the fight tye masked man had was eeriely similar to Zhi Ruo's fight.Except, of course, the difference in ability. But how the fight progressed was undoubtedly similar. The first half of the fight was spent exchanging blows, then, the masked man was making his opponent run while he chased after the guy, then his opponent tripped, and of course, he killed his opponent singlehandedly.

Alberu proved to be a hard opponent, he managed to convince Huo Feng (please read: forced Huo Feng ) to change seat. The masked man took his seat triumphant of his victory. No longer caring if Alberu would fight him to take his seat, Yu Zhúlín managed to relax unto his chair."So," The guy dragged, in Zhi Ruo's eyes, Alberu's mask was a sore eye. Now that she knew of his identity (at least his name) she really didn't think that him wearing a mask was something coincidental. Though those were just her selfish thoughts. Zhi Ruo's body snapped at Alberu's direction.Alberu's lips twitched under his mask upon seeing Zhi Ruo's abrupt actions. He was given quite a scare for a second. But he played the situation to his favor, after seeing that Zhi Ruo was finally putting her attention to him. He opened his arms wide as if saying to look at his body. Which one can add, was covered in shallow wounds. His actions managed to tell Zhi Ru

There's another distinctive thing about the Ye clan, and that was it's members, the deciples and alike. More specifically those who were honored and went through the ritual to get the name 'Ye' as part of their names. As it was known that the Ye clan was a small but fairly powerful family. The Ye clan only had the Patriarch as the head of the clan and only person in the main family that legitimately has the Ye bloodline flowing down his veins. So to counter this, deciples, elders and such, has to under go rituals to inherit a part of the bloodline. And then they were officially eligible to have the Ye surname.At least that was what Alberu heard. But there was truly unique about the Ye clan. And that was because of what technique they practice. Unlike other clan's that had their own distinctive technique, that, well— 'that actually made them well known'. The Ye clan has no such distinctive thing. Rather, each of the Ye clan

"You and y'all's dry ass humor you got going on." Zhi Ruo instantly responded after seeing Yu Zhúlín crack a smile. There's a few things that can make Zhi Ruo laugh, and two of them are 'stupid people' doing stupid shit. And dark humor. There's barely anything that Zhi Ruo could get to laugh at.And one of those aren't certainly Alberu's weird ass jokes that Yu Zhúlín seemed to enjoy. Then again, the two were practically friends now after spending the duration of the entire tournament near eachother. Well, it was mostly Alberu sticking close to Yu Zhúlín like a sticky glue. And one could guess that Alberu's hard work finally paid off, because it seemed like the green haired man was finally easing at the masked man's presence. Anything closer though Zhi Ruo might as well call it gay, not that she'd judge of course, but she'd certainly enjoy teasing whoever makes an reaction though.'But what if these dolts are Bi??' Zhi Ruo's thoughts suddenly made an abrupt turn. 'Aint people back th

Zhi Ruo watched interested at the intense display of defenses the 5th placer showed, dispite the fact that he was close combatant in the first place. It was like he had prior experience with dealing with opponent's like the one that he got. That, or he adapted his fighting style while he was fighting that particular opponent.The young miss thinks that it's both as she adjusted her mask, silently contemplating on what she would be doing next after the 5th placer's fight was done. Zhi Ruo knew that the fight was coming to an end, 5th placer's opponent may have superior stamina and had a large Qi capacity.But Zhi Ruo saw the 5th placer slip a pill through his lips as he applied basic enchantment on his body parts. It turns out the 5th placer took a page from Zhi Ruo's books. Of you can't defeat an opponent because there stats are higher than you, then using external help was needed.It wasn't like the tournament banned the use of such things when fighting, rather than that, Zhi even ha

She didn't realize that it was 'that' expensive, she could get that type of pill any day she wanted if she just had enough materials and resources for it. Which was always available, because of her mark. Zhi Ruo almost forgotten when she had problems in getting such pills, she realized that not everyone was as privileged as her.Her face wrinkled as she watched as the medics finally left the 5th placer and the practitioner alone so that he could be finally announced as the winner. The medics turned their attention at the corpse not far from where they were standing, and found that the others were already starting to scrape the blood off the pavement floor."Han Wanran proceeds to the next round as the winner of this battle!" The practitioner's voice overlapped the announcer's voice as he declared the 5th placer as the winner. Though, the 5th placer should now be considered, and formally known as Han Wanran now.Zhi Ruo tapped her finger at her arms chain in a repeatedly chain of rythm

A few minutes later, Han Wanran was eating the food that Ravel had on hand after giving Zhi Ruo a grateful smile when he was informed that Ravel was Zhi Ruo's butler. Among these few minutes, Han Wanran was then filled in with what happened when he and Alberu was away. To say the least that Han Wanran could not stop giggling was an understatement. The guy was was soon full blown up laughing by the time Zhi Ruo finished her soda that was disguised as tea. By then, the girl was just tuning ot whatever nonetheless the rest were speaking. She was far to tired to deal with their constant teasing.Soon, another one joined the ones on the podium. And unsurprisingly (because everyone was watching the fight in the first place) the green robed youth walked up the podium with large patches of injuries, bloodied and dirty wounds, that littered across his body.The wounds were poorly wrapped with some gauze, and Zhi Ruo could tell no one bothered to clean the wounds before wrapping them up like i

"You can go if you want to," Zhi Ruo drawled, her mask was illuminated with whatever light that was at the arena." No one is really stopping you here." She said, the people that was cleaning the blood and grime off the arena was slowly retreating now. It seems like they were done.Huang Yanyuan pursed his lips upon hearing Zhi Ruo's reply. He found that she was right, and no one was really truly keeping him back. The only reason that he was staying back was because he found it weird that he would go out by himself when everyone around him seemed like they were fine sitting down. Seeing that Huang Yanyuan was staying silent, Ravel took this chance to pull out some lamp and lit it up quietly. The light from the lamp engulfed the entire podium, and everyone casted a glance towards Ravel's direction. They were unperturbed by the light, they merely took this chance to relax for a while."No, I'd just stay here with you guys after all." The man assented, he glanced at his torn up robes and

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

"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

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
