Zhi Ruo did not take it into consideration that grandfather Ye truly did everything instantaneously. She had watch with rapt amazement, as his servants went to settle the arrangement with the general.
Her grandfather did not even show his face to the general as he only sent someone to inform this dastardly father of hers that he was taking her away from the rundown courtyard that his granddaughter had affectionately called her home.
The general did nothing as he moaned in pain, not that he could not anything else, and he did not even have the chance to agree, as patriarch Ye had already told Zhi Ruo to pack her things and get ready to travel.
Of course Zhi Ruo had called Ravel to pack all the things inside her room except for the old clothes which she would carry with an old bundle. Within a minute everything was cleaned inside her room a
The tea leaf floated lazily on the boiling hot water on Zhi Ruo's hand. Oddly enough, despite the hot liquid on her cup, the heat did not touch her palm. Instead, the cup felt heavy and cool to touch. Her eyes hidden by the veil over her face roamed the room that she was currently sitting at. The voices of her grandfather was outside the sliding door near her.She could faintly hear him talking to someone.It has been quite some time that they have arrived at the valley, the people serving under her grandfather— and now her. Took her belongings and went to put them somewhere. Inbetween admiring and speculating the weird architecture, and design of the Valley. She was pushed by her grandfather in this well furnished room.She was then given a cup of tea she had not taken a sip with, and snacks which she did not even took a bite at. A
"The Patriarch already must have informed you that our Ye clan works like a sect." Qing Qing saved Kohaku from his mistake as she swooped in to continue the conversation. "There are the direct descendant of the Patriarch, then the inner desciples, the outer deciples and then the normal people who work under the Ye clan." She pointed out."There is also the deciples that Patriarch Ye has taken as his students. But Patriarch Ye doesn't have anyone he teaches right now. Meaning he doesn't have any students currently." Qing explained. "People under the Ye clan that has the surname Ye, is either an elder from the inner desciples, an inner deciple or the direct descendant of the Ye clan."Zhi Ruo pointed at herself. " I don't have the Ye surname though." She said."But you are the heir and the direct descendant of the Patriarch." Kohaku s
Within the comfort of her new pavilion, Zhi Ruo took her time in admiring the numerous new valuable furniture that littered in her room. She can clearly tell that the Ye clan did not lack in the money area. She surveyed around the room before she stepped beside the table that was right before her bed.Their was snacks placed delicately on the center of luxuriously decorated piece of woo— table.On the corner of her eye Zhi Ruo paid attention to her stats. And most importantly, her cultivation rank. Bringing back Yu Zhúlín's impetuous question back into her mind.[Name: Liu Zhi RuoRace: HumanSkills:Sand throw (stun) 10/50 : rank 0Lev
Zhi Ruo hummed non-committedly, and she moved her cup lightly. "If Liu Bai Pan did not create such unnecessary ruckus she would've been the one managing the entire Liu Fu. But now she has to suffer confinement and punishment." She tapped on the table out of habit."By now the entire Liu Fu should be in a disarray, it would be foreseeable that the servants would be very unpleased by how the management affair is under the head Steward and Mama. That would create a chasms between such factions inside the Fu." She cupped her cheeks as she said to Ravel. "You see, Liu Su Yang was such a vicious woman that she did not trust even the stewards, mama and servants in the Fu. So she made a competition between them making the head Steward and Mama watch each other's back while trying to one up each other."Zhi Ruo chuckled, "This created a hostile environment that benefited only the general, Concub
Zhi Ruo plopped a dumpling on her mouth as she stared at Qing Qing and Kohaku's awkward appearance. They were not facing her as she ate her breakfast, as if afraid of looking at her directly. Instead they were looking at the table, intently trying not to peek at her face while she was eating."Why are you guys doing that?" Zhi Ruo chewed as she asked, she pointed her chopsticks at the serious duo in front of her. "You can look you know, I don't mind you guys looking at my face once in a while." Zhi Ruo said.Zhi Ruo finally got rid of her boney cheeks and wrists as she broke through Gathering; Concentration rank 4 after she cultivated all night long. Raising her stats in the process and all the while enjoying the fact that she finally have some meat to pinch when she holds her own face.But right now, the duo in front of her was ruining h
Thump! Thump! Thump!The soft sound of hammer hitting wood echoed into the whole courtyard, though it doesn't seem to look like a courtyard. More like a workplace by all the resources gathered neatly outside the hall, and the dozen or so people coming in and out like on a busy day at the firm.Zhi Ruo marveled at the buff macho man that looked like gym rats that greeted them as they walked in. Immediately as they stepped into the building, the stench of saw dust, and some oddly weird ointment waft into their noses greeting them with utmost manlyness."This is?" Zhi Ruo ventured aloud."The workplace for the craftmaster." Kohaku nodded his head to a direction. "Please follow me, I will be leading you to who is in charge of this place." He walked as he talked to Zhi Ruo whow as avidly p
If someone heard what Zhi Ruo was muttering about in her heart then they would've vomited blood and cursed Zhi Ruo for her lofty words. They would pound their chest in frustration and in envy if they really found out that Zhi Ruo was actually speaking the truth.Considering the fact that Zhi Ruo continuously and swiftly broke through the ranks within just a few days. It would have been a socially shattering news to people if they ever found out.One must know that it wasn't very hard to enter the ranks of cultivation, but, it doesn't mean it's the same in breaking through each ranks. Zhi Ruo was already Gathering; Concentration rank 4 without much effort, and to people her around her age that has started cultivating the moment they learned how to talk. This level of Comprehension was still insanely fast. Especially since she just started from just a few days ago with some tarnishe
Zhi Ruo and Tiān Dì stared at each other, Tiān Dì was more or less starting to get annoyed at Zhi Ruo's veil. While Zhi Ruo was starting to get impatient at Tiān Dì's stupid assistant. She swears the assistant was dragging the retrieval of the artifact on purpose.Tiān Dì sighed, finally relenting at staring. Finding it bothersome and unfair that all he can glare at, is Zhi Ruo's veil."Look, overestimating yourself is never a good thing." He started crossing his arms and leaning back at the table, solemnly looking at Zhi Ruo's figure as he tried to explain where he was coming from. "It's alright to ask for help, being prideful won't help." He said, watching attentively for any signs of emotions on Zhi Ruo.Zhi Ruo resisted the urge to pinch her nose in an attempt on staying calm. "If I can prove to you,
