Reborn in another world [HER HIGHNESS PETTINESS]
Zhi Ruo eyed the bloody mess Alberu has made for himself, in judgement and scrutiny. Like she was saying 'oh, do they not really see that act that they call as a mess right there?' However, since everyone said their opinions, Zhi Ruo wasn't the kind of person to go and ruin it for them.So the girl stayed silent and kept to herself. But when Alberu took a punch through this gut, because he dodged it from his face, it made her crack a small smug smile. Though the snort that came from her lips accidentally got out, did, earn her a glance from both of her senior brothers."I know you just laughed," Huo Feng told Zhi Ruo who was snickering to herself. "Why even bother hiding it when you are basically wheezing everytime the guy receives a punch." From the corner of Zhi Ruo's eyes, she could see Han Wanran sighing and sagging on his seat in vague amusement."Whatcha even going to do about it, you twat." The girl muttered under her breath, which was not heard by any other ears but hers alone
Reborn in another world [All for a good show]
However, the more Huang Yanyuan's eyes blurred as his consciousness started to waver. The more he panicked, without relying on his sight, he decided to close his eyes and let his body move as the wind directed him too. This made him catch his breath in the long run, as he steadied himself on his feet.The smoke cleared up, and only a few residue was left around the entire arena. However, when the smoke cleared up because of the two's (Huang Yanyuan and Alberu) movements; that helped disapated the smoke faster— everyone saw that Huang Yanyuan was still closing his eyes without even trying to open them.Alberu breathed, his body maneuvered into a more comfortable position before he stopped entirely. His hand reached out to adjust his mask, his eyes gazing at his opponent in front of him that was struggling to stay unto his feet. Briefly Alberu wanted to know if his fight had amused the audience yet.This, by far, was the only fight that he willingly put himself at risk because he wanted

"Stop." The practitioner'a voice echoed as he went into between Huang Yanyuan and Alberu. His hand was outstretched, clasping Alberu's hand that was holding a ball. Much like the one that he used beforehand, the one where it would explode and turn into a smoke screen. And his other hand was holding Huang Yanyuan securely.Huang Yanyuan was convulsing under the practioner's hand, his body was aching. But his gaze was set upon Alberu, it seemed like he did not even notice the practitioner holding him. It wasn't until he felt the pain on his arm did he finally notice. His eyes snapped towards the practioner, as Alberu snatched his injured hand that the practioner was holding with a sharp hiss under his breath. "What?" Huang Yanyuan managed to croak out, his eyes watched as the practioner put his hand down gently. Huang Yanyuan dropped his hand weakly after being released.The practitioner glanced at Huang Yanyuan with pity crossing his eyes. And Huang Yanyuan could clearly see the emoti

Zhi Ruo gazed at the silent man in front of her, taking note of the fact that most of his wounds are already slowly healing. Meaning that he still got a huge vitality in him tht could help the process of healing, which would also lead Zhi Ruo to believe that he wasn't as tired as he seemed."I was right," Zhi Ruo said thoughtfully to herself. "You are still putting up an act aren't you." She stated. But her words didn't catch Alberu off guard. Rather, he wasn't reacting at all. Then, out of nowhere, the guy laughed boisterously. Like Zhi Ruo just hit the on button somewhere in him."Out of all people to notice, it just had to be you." He stated, his tone matching Zhi Ruo's. And the girl didn't like that. Not one bit liking how he was matching her characteristics, now people are going to think that they are really in cahoots if he keeps that up."Don't sound too disappointed now." Zhi Ruo muttered, Alberu went past her with a stride aiming to go to the podium with or without her. The g
Reborn in another world ["May the best one win" is chivalry apparently]
"May the best one win." Yu Zhúlín stood up, he stretched his limbs and motioned for Huo Feng to do the same. The other man stood up with a small smile on his face, seeing that Yu Zhúlín was waiting for him. Yu Zhúlín's response was a nod from Huo Feng. That was as far as Huo Feng's recognition could go."Same here." Huo Feng replied as he went pass Yu Zhúlín and went down the stairs first. Yu Zhúlín blinked from behind Huo Feng, before he too, shrugged and went down the stairs with a serious look on his face.As the two men went off and walked towards the arena. Alberu occupied the seat beside Zhi Ruo, he leaned into the girl's personal space like he wasn't caught bullshiting with her. The girl could already feel the smile that was creeping on Alberu's face as he leaned on."Who do you think would win?" Alberu poked Zhi Ruo's side, he murmured like he was sharing a confidential information. Zhi Ruo resisted the urge to sigh aloud. Her eavesdropping was cutted off because of Alberu's p
Reborn in another world [brewing up a storm]
The fight tilted into an intense one on one, where both parties cannot conjure up a elaborate spell because of the other opponent's speed. The only spells and techniques that they could conjure up, are the ones that they can subconsciously apply without further thinking. Such as basic enchantments, and step techniques.Which could only do so much in such an intense battle. For the other contestants, the battle was an exciting one. It was then they realized how much the two were holding back on their past opponents. That, or the fact that these two knew so much of eachother's habits that they could not help but step up their game.The wind picked up, and this time, it was not limited inside the barrier. The hats of the bystanders that was watching on the seats around the arena was starting to get blown up by the wind. Even the podium that Zhi Ruo and the others was in started to get a little bit too airy.It was like the wind was heeding to someone's call, and not even the barrier coul
Reborn in another world [The eye of the storm]
The crackling of the winds did nothing to ease the relentless pursuit Huo Feng was doing on Yu Zhúlín. Significant injuries already appeared on both of the two fighting contestants bodies but neither seemed to have noticed, nor wanted to stop. Their glowing eyes clashed almost eeriely against eachother.And only those with keen senses were the only ones that could see their glowing eyes. Zhi Ruo in particular, felt odd watching the two fighting. Especially both of her senior brother's eyes, she felt that it was familiar of some type of way. But she could not out point why it was familiar.Why would a pair of eyes, much less glowing ones at that, be familiar of some sort? Sadly enough, their wasn't a single Ye clan member around Zhi Ruo now, to teach her the significance of such keen observation. However, even though Zhi Ruo could not ask anybody now. It doesn't mean that she cannot ask later.The girl stood up, and searched for Ravel amongst the crowd, her body was seen peeking out of
Reborn in another world [wall incarnate]
The storms suddenly quelled, and there was another person in the middle of the fight. With outstretched arms, the practioner held a talisman on his hand. The whole arena stilled, and slowly, Yu Zhúlín descended to the ground. The glow on his eyes was slowly retreating, and so was his powers.Huo Feng sighed, disappointed, and his powers also retreated much like Yu Zhúlín's. When the two contestant's powers retreated, it revealed the deep set of injuries the two had. But it was obvious that Yu Zhúlín managed to defend himself more properly, because his injuries weren't as bad as Huo Feng's.The practitioner looked at Huo Feng and Yu Zhúlín, and gave them both a knowing look. Yu Zhúlín who looked to still be looking his powers away, did not notice the look that the practioner was giving them. However, Huo Feng certainly saw it, it only deepened his disappointed smile."The winner of this fight has been decided." The practioner's booming vouce woke Yu Zhúlín up from his stupor. He glance

[Surveillance] pt 2
The young women heard the middle aged woman's words, turned to look at the woman's hands who was dearly gripping the wine guard, and with a last huff she stayed silent. She looked resigned almost, as if she didn't want to argue anymore. Only the downturn of her lips were apparent in her features as she gaze blankly ahead.Seeing the silent treatment that the young women was putting on, the middle aged man's lips upturned into a smirk. The smugness was radiating off him as he straightened his back, the self assured confidence that radiated off him disgusted everyone in the room. Watching him put on a coat that was far too big for his status couldn't stop the looks of contempt that was shot on his way.As if he didn't notice the look that everyone was shooting at him. The middle aged man's eyes trailed away from the riches that the host was putting up to sell, and unto the pile of gold that was set at the corner of the room. Hi
[Surveillance]
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
[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
