2023-01-03 16:42:56The banter between the two podiums halted after Zhi Ruo managed to pull 6 arms middle finger rebuttal towards the feiry response of the other podium. The staff came to their podium running and puffing in exhaustion like he ran laps around the whole arena before coming there. Judging from the panicked expression on the staff's face, he probably did.
In the end, Zhi Ruo and the others were asked to halt whatever they were doing, because the crowd (audience) were getting harder to rein down because of the excitement their banter created.Zhi Ruo's response was to blink slowly, and told the staff that she didn't care; her words were exactly 'The fuck would I care about that?'. Of course the two senior brothers beside her weren't going to let Zhi Ruo say that on the staff's face, and was quick to agree with the staff after pulling Zhi Ruo aside because they could not clamp their hands over the young miss's face because of her mask.

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
Reborn in another world [Tough luck]
"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.

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
Reborn in another world [Reach in the far distance to dream]
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

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

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.
