She loomed at the entrance for a bit unsure as to where this knowing look even came from and why it as thrown at her. Nonetheless Zhi Ruo took a seat back to her place.
The younger girl ignored the look Yu Zhúlín gave to her and proceeded to reach out the seeds at the table.
"Congrats." The 5th placer spoke aloud addressing Zhi Ruo with a small smile on his face. He watched as Zhi Ruo gave a small nod in acknowledgement towards his direction. His small smile turned into a pleased one.
The 9th over also turned his attention to Zhi Ruo upon seeing that she wasn't as pissy as before. "It seems like you are going to the finals." He told her, eyeing the bracket on the sides only displaying

Reborn in another world [Sociopath]
Wai Ling had encountered a sociopath, and Zhi Ruo knew that despot having a disdainful defeat by surrendering. It was far more better than staying and fighting and then eventually loosing her life. Wai Ling had chosen the right choice, and Zhi Ruo applauded her every step.But not everyone felt the same as Zhi Ruo, take Wai Ling's brother as an example. When one would glance over to his expression,they would see the utter disappointment on his face as he watched as the practitioner declared Wai Ling's opponent as the winner of the match.There was sense of confusion in the room, and Zhi Ruo didn't try and stand up to assert her opinions on Wai Ling's battle. She merely clapped and that was it. Although her actions were just that, everyone knew that Zhi Ruo had no qualms about Wai Ling suffering a defeat by her own hands just like that.Bu
Reborn in another world [Disgust]
A bit unsure of what to do, the staff looked behind him uneasily. As if he was about to run the moment everyone in the room saw who he had brought in. Zhi Ruo took note of his reaction immediately, a small frown made it self into her face. Though nobody could see it.When the staff moved aside to reveal the new member in the room. The atmosphere in the room plummeted a bit too drastically for anyone to call it normal.There stood the man who was formally also known as Wai Ling's opponent in all his glory.Now, not only was there a frown on Zhi Ruo's face, but also, there was a frown that bordered into a grimace not only in Zhi Ruo's face. But also into the faces of everyone in the room.The disgust that came from Zhi Ruo was quite literally radiating into a miasma. But only the masked
Reborn in another world [Blessing and as an unfortunate situation]
However, as the people in the room changed, the fact that Zhi Ruo was still the one calling the shots didn't change along with the people in the room. The room was still dominated with the original rankers, and mostly majority of the rankers were Ye clan members. No one could shake her position.This came as a blessing and as an unfortunate situation for Zhi Ruo. Nevertheless she took it with grace, because it was much better than her leading the people in the room then 'it' to be handed by whomever.And besides, Zhi Ruo thought that following another person was a waste of time and was totally not her style.The tournament was coming to an end pretty much after the few people in the room got replaced. And it didn't take long for Zhi Ruo to stand up for her next fight yet again. Though the expression on her face wasn't seen whe
Reborn in another world [Prepare]
Zhi Ruo languidly walked in the familiar arena, the crowd was still as enthusiastic as ever. And Zhi Ruo didn't find it within her to match their excitement. Not when she caught a glance at the person in front of her waiting, and was mirroring her actions of languidness.Narrowing her eyes, Zhi Ruo sneered but her expression wasn't seen by anyone. The blank eyed on the other hand was seen with a soft smile on his face."Prepare," the practitioner motioned for Zhi Ruo and the blank eyed man. He stepped out of the arena and the barrier went up. Almost instantly Zhi Ruo pulled out Zhōngguó, as a circle flashed under the blank eyed man body.The fight started without a hitch, and Zhi Ruo got the ride of her life when chains suddenly popped out from everywhere. She instantly saw that the blank eyed man was holding a book of
Reborn in another world [Second hand equipments]
Zhōngguó wasn't a normal weapon, that much the blank eyed man could tell. But as much as he was hell bent on taking Zhi Ruo's weapon. He did not realize his chains were starting to melt the moment they came into Zhi Ruo's vasinity.It wasn't long before the wraith devourers manifested into their flame forms and swarmed around with the chains. Zhi Ruo was a bit surprised that the wraith devourers went out now. She wasn't restricting the wraith devourers in anyway, so she let them do as they pleased as long as they protect her well.But upon closer inspection she knew that the wraith devourers only went out when they want something. And in this situation, the 'something' that the wraith devourers wanted was the book on the blank eyed man's hand. And by extension, the chains around them that kept whipping on the air menacingly.
Reborn in another world [Previous owner]
The blank eyed man's eyes widened in disbelief, but he could not even register the fact that Zhi Ruo's aim wasn't him, but rather he was merely a catalyst because her true aim was truly with the book that was in his hands.Other than the fact he was in disbelief, he could not even show anger, because he was more preoccupied with the slowly expanding Zhōngguó on top of his head.Zhi Ruo met his shaking eyes with more glee than the man could have ever imagined, and thought, what could he ever deserve to incur Zhi Ruo's wrath and glee like this. It was a confusing feeling for the blank eyed man to have.But what was even more confusing is the fact that the blank eyed man could feel the strength on Zhi Ruo's fingers as she gripped him. It wasn't his imagination, but the more Zhōngguó grew above him slowly as if
Reborn in another world [Considered as avenging Wai Ling right?]
Flakes of dried blood fell off the mask as Zhi Ruo scratched a particular spot for no reason at all. The way back into the room was uneventful, but she did feel like a load of stuff was put away from her chest the moment she killed the blank eyed man.This could be considered as avenging Wai Ling right? Zhi Ruo thinks that she may have gone overboard. But she praised herself for making the decision to pump her Qi on Zhōngguó instead of using it (her MP) to heighten the sand skill that she had.She had learned her lesson that the wraith devourers could truly melt her sand even if they don't mean it. She's just glad that there's still clothes on her body because the wraith devourers weren't really those gentle type techniques that can differentiate between friend or foe, nope, they don't discriminate on their destruction.
Reborn in another world [In which everything took a weird turn]
The younger girl looked up with frown marring her face. Zhi Ruo looked at the general direction where the masked man was looking at and she knew that it was the guy's turn to go and fight.Her actions momentarily paused, as she and the rest of the people in the room watched as the masked man stood up and go out of the door. Curiously Yu Zhúlín glanced at the brackets, only a few people was left, he eyeballed how many there were. And concludes that it would be less than a hundred but more than fifty.The fights that was being shown on the screen weren't as boring as before. Now every fight caught everyone's attention because the contestants were finally doing their best and was pulling stunts like never before.Yu Zhúlín saw a familiar name in the bracket, and his suspicions about the masked ma

[An impression]
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

The girl nodded with satisfaction, her thoughts already praising Ravel's managerial skills. She could tell that Ravel had been careful in his training of the staff. because she failed to see a single hair out of place.His training of the household staff was evident in every corner; not a speck of dust dared to linger, and not a single servant’s uniform bore the faintest wrinkle. After they landed, at the forefront of the welcoming assembly stood her venerable grandfather, Ye Gu Shi, a figure of unshakable dignity, clad in robes that seemed to flow like rivers of ink and silver. Flanking him were her senior brothers, their postures firm as ancient pines, and her sole senior sister, Ye Qing Qing, whose serene presence commanded both grace and authority.He congratulated the people that managed to get far in the tournament.

[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. There's this hushed silence that blanketed the whole place, Zhi Ruo wa

[Yapperist]
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'.

[Luck]
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

[Zhōngguó awakened]
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

[The first law]
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
