2022-05-06 15:30:00Minister 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

And how the pungent smell of wild beasts around her seemed to worsen.

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
Reborn in another world [Tomb]
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
Reborn in another world [New skill]
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,

[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
[Curious]
"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
[Information]
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
