Minister Wu gazed at the scroll floating to Ye Gu Shi dubiously, his hand twitched when the servants had to walk to his seat to give him the scroll when he opened his palms imploringly. Obviously somewhat displeased seeing Ye Gu Shi's showy display.
"I will be going now," The servant announced his leave but neither of the men seemed to hear him. The servant didn't mind and left.
Basked in silence, as both took their time to read the letter in their hands.
'Is this true?' Ye Gu Shi could not help but reread the entire letter again. His eyes shone. Exhilaration was seen on his face and he seemed to have not noticed his expression yet.
On the letter was all the things that Ye Qing Qing, Ye Kohaku and Tiān Dì painstakingly wrote as a report for Ye Gu Shi about his granddaughter who

Ravel came with his head lowered, his appearance was that of Zhi Ruo's servant. Ravel didn't change his appearance, opting on using his temporary identity in front of Zhi Ruo.He had heard Zhi Ruo's call, and was wondering why she had called him. He took in Zhi Ruo's appearance under the glow of the forest. It didn't seem like Zhi Ruo was in any danger other than a few blood patches that he saw was already healed, so he had dropped that thought."Have you completed what I asked of you?" It was Zhi Ruo who spoke first. Throwing the bones left by the snake. She sat down on the branch and asked. The night was still on the higher branches, having less predator in the airal zone at the night time."Yes, it was completed after a few hours under Biān Fú's hands." Ravel hid his arms on his sleeves as he lightly stood beside Zhi Ruo on a br

Zhi Ruo wasn't sure if it was heaven's will, or it was just a streak of bad luck that was following her around in this forest.Due to the fact that she hadn't slept yet, and didn't give her body enough credit. The morning came, and her entire being became very heavy, burdened by a mental strain. Although she was perfectly fine physically, her mentality was being stretched thin, even if she thought she could handle the strain It was becoming apparent that her body could not.This led to a series of events that could be counted as an opportunity, but she'd like to think that it was a series of unfortunate circumstances.As she was chasing a group of what she could only call as a living replica of a cartoon creature in her past life. She had somehow stumbled upon a erected stone. Much like a pillar, it stood out like a sore sight as it

"hehe... hehehehehe" silently laughing, she stood at the edge of the ditch with two rocks on her hand. Behind her dusty mask, her eyes were in a shape of a crescent, clearly excited.Back when Zhi Ruo was just starting to figure out her lotus mark, and how it worked. She had a favorite pastime, since her way of cultivation was simplicity. It greatly occured to her that it varied greatly against her lotus mark, because let's be real. Her lotus mark was never simple to begin with.She gets bored. Easily. Her master knows this more than anyone. And she had been told more than once that she is awful when she is bored.She is more than awful when she is bored.Zhi Ruo was dangerous when she is bored.This was mostly the reason why she dabble

Zhi Ruo finally noticed that it didn't have to be the bone that she picked to be able to move the casket. In fact anything that was inside the tomb could be used against the tomb. So she threw away the bone without must hesitation, because if she hesitate now she'd be wasting time. She opened her ring hastily and produced a candlelight holder that was as tall as her with a flat top. It was one of the numerous gold things that she had snatched. She had broken off two caskets already, and the undead creatures were gaining their momentum in piecing their bodies together. One or three undead creatures had already starting clamping their nasty hands on Zhi Ruo's body in a somewhat poor attempt to stop her. Which she had promptly swung the golden candle holder to their heads and killed them without even batting a eyelid

She could feel the pain being less by the minute and she knew that the newly acquired skill of hers was improving leaps because she was currently in great pain. "Should I just cut my limbs off daily in the future?" Zhi Ruo uttered to herself absentmindedly, her body busy on cracking the caskets around her like peanuts. She moved swiftly, wary that the undead creatures could pop up at any second. Knowing that she has a durable body because she cultivates, not minding the occasional lost limbs became somewhat of a social norm for those people that ha surpassed the realm of Gathering; Concentration ranks. But time to time again Zhi Ruo forgets, or she chucks it out of her mind voluntarily, that she currently has the body of a person that barely climbed up to Gathering; Concentration rank 5. Her body was healing rather slowly, but

Apparently the reason why the system had given her a choice to choose from earlier, was for how the array would manifest now it was a skill and not some half baked combination of array put on by some mid array master. If Zhi Ruo had to guessed then she'd say the technique was probably refined to the extreme now it was in the hands of the system. Because as far as she observed, her two skills were practically broken, and by broken she means that it's not going to follow logic, if she puts on some SP for the skills to rank up. She guessed that this would be the same for this new skill. "Hmm?" The longer Zhi Ruo thought about it the more she realized how the skill worked. "What a money grubber." Zhi Ruo smiled wearily as she rubbed her chin in contemplation. It seemed like the skill wasn't as instantaneous as she expected,

A day later, and with sufficient rest. The lady took her time to look over her servants to find out what was missing or needed in her pavilion. Ravel mentioned in passing that the food in the pavilion was a bit lacking, the young lady noted this in the back of her head before she handed all her responsibilities to Ravel to handle. The butler, who was already used to this, didn't complain with Zhi Ruo's way of handling things and just calmly proceeded to make schedules. Through all that, Ravel had the time to dress Zhi Ruo up with the help of the other maid servants. Although the servants weren't used to the cosmetics products and skin care products that Zhi Ruo had around. They were quick to learn how to efficiently apply these products to Zhi Ruo's body. Ravel didn't let the maid servants stick around to help Zhi Ruo prep her face. The young lady prepped her own face by herself. In the afternoon, Zhi Ruo went out of her pavilion, and went straight to her grandfather's office where

[Thirty minutes later— landing time...] In the vast expanse stretching near the Sighted Valley, the aircraft descended smoothly, landing without much of a hitch. As the doors opened, Zhi Ruo stepped out with an air of quiet confidence, her movements purposeful and composed. Behind her, Ravel followed closely, his demeanor attentive as ever.The other contestants had already gathered in the designated drop-off area, their murmurs filling the space as they watched the new arrivals. Zhi Ruo took a steady step, her gaze sweeping over the (still) ufamiliar faces. The last time she had been here, she had been left unnoticed, easily dismissed, and barely given a second glance by the crowd. But today was different. This time, all eyes were on her, a subtle shift in their expressions was apparent.This was not the same indifferent reception she had received during her first arrival; this time, she was far from overlooked.

Thirty minutes before their scheduled landing, a soft knock echoed through the quiet hallway as Ravel, the ever-dutiful butler, rapped his knuckles on Zhi Ruo’s door. He stood there, impeccably dressed as always, though his usual calm demeanor was tinged with something more urgent.The butler proceeded to inform that he got from the patriarch to Zhi Ruo. Ultimately, and very quickly, betraying the contract he had with his master's grandfather.Zhi Ruo who had just woken up after getting a 3 hour power nap, couldn't get a word in after she was bombarded with Ravel's information dump. She could only let her butler in wordlessly, and led him to the table where he continued to babble on.She, on the other hand, had other plans. After guiding Ravel to the table, Zhi Ruo didn’t bother sitting across from him. Instead, she walked right back to her bed, not even pretending to be interested in the deluge of information spilling from her butler. With a sigh, she plopped face-first onto the matt

Ye Gu Shi sat up straight his eyes gazing down at Ravel's form. He felt awfully overwhelming, that the butler who was just acting could not help but break into genuine cold sweat. "Ravel, I will now ask you to use that strength to aid me for a bit." The patriarch's voice reached Ravel's ears, Ye Gu Shi was solemn as he asked, it was obvious that he put great importance to this, that much Ravel could tell.Ravel furrowed his brows, his gaze still lowered on the floor. "May I ask what this is about?" He ventured out carefully, Ravel could almost feel the worried frown on Ye Gu Shi's face even though he did not dare to raise his eyes at this moment.There was a deep sigh that reverberated in the room, Ye Gu Shi almost seemed tired and worried all at once. This made the butler more curious than he would ever care to admit. "I know you have hidden your strength for quite some time, I hoped that you would be willing to use that strength to protect my granddaughter." His request came out lik

There was something deeply unsettling about the atmosphere in the room, an almost palpable tension that seemed to cloak the space and instill a sense of unease in anyone who crossed its threshold. However, it appears to be like the two men had not noticed each other's gazes as they were blatantly sizing each other up.There was a rather interesting look on Ravel's face as his face adorned a smile that even Zhi Ruo would find rather creepy. On the other hand, the Patriarch seemed entirely absorbed in his own thoughts, completely unaware of Ravel’s unnerving expression. His focus remained on the steaming cup of tea in his hand, his brow furrowing slightly as he took a slow, deliberate sip.There was nothing that Ravel could do but wait in silence with his impregnable smile.'Master has said that she has plans to deal with her grandfather when it comes 'with her secrets'.

Zhōngguó made a face in my direction, a clear attempt to provoke or elicit some sort of reaction. However, it didn't bother me in the slightest. If anything, it only made my amusement grow. I could feel a small smile tugging at the corner of my lips, but I chose not to indulge him. My attention gradually shifted away, and I soon ignored the weapon who was clearly trying to rile me up for his own entertainment. The soft hum that drifted from his direction served as a quiet backdrop, but I paid it no mind, busying myself with putting the petals away in their proper place."Why aren't you as excited as I thought you'd be?" His voice broke through the quiet, carrying a tone of curiosity. By now, he had already made himself comfortable, sprawled lazily across my bed like it was his own personal lounging spot. I could feel his eyes on me.With a quiet sigh, I swept my fringe away from my face, tucking the stray strands behind my ear. Slowly, I raised my head from the mask I had been inspect

My back straightened instinctively, a subtle tremor running through my hands as I stood among the sea of petals. The air was thick with the fragrance of flowers, in its own way, it was almost eerie. Each delicate bloom seemed to pulse with life, amplifying the excitement I could barely contain. If Ravel was here to see my expression, he would have called me a lunatic despite his upbringing.Still, it would have been weird if I wasn't excited upon receiving such a huge landfall. The realization that I could wield a law without ever fully mastering it was nothing short of incredible. It wasn't just any law either—it was one that felt deeply familiar, intricately woven into my life through the teachings of my master. The humm in my consciousness made me realize the true potential of the petals around me.But the excitement soon faded, the initial rush of wonder slipping away as the petals around me vanished at my command. With just a single thought, they retreated, condensing into a su

Although Zhi Ruo isn't entirely sure how Ravel levels up or even how her butler continues to grow stronger, she is certain of one thing: Ravel has the ability to level up. It's a fact she doesn't fully understand but has come to accept nonetheless. Zhi Ruo's puckered up her lips unconsciously. Her thoughts shifted to the state her contracts were in.Zhi Ruo finally tore her gaze away from the sapling, reluctantly pulling back her heightened senses so that she was no longer acutely aware of the intricate state of her contracts. With her focus shifting, her eyes settled on a delicate flower resting quietly a short distance away, its presence unassuming yet somehow captivating. Her expression remained mostly unchanged, though a faint glimmer of curiosity surfaced in her eyes. Having finished evaluating the first prize, Zhi Ruo turned her attention to the second, the one she had chosen at random. Naturally, it was the flowerInside the glass box sat an unassuming flower, its petals perf
