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

"You can go if you want to," Zhi Ruo drawled, her mask was illuminated with whatever light that was at the arena." No one is really stopping you here." She said, the people that was cleaning the blood and grime off the arena was slowly retreating now. It seems like they were done.Huang Yanyuan pursed his lips upon hearing Zhi Ruo's reply. He found that she was right, and no one was really truly keeping him back. The only reason that he was staying back was because he found it weird that he would go out by himself when everyone around him seemed like they were fine sitting down. Seeing that Huang Yanyuan was staying silent, Ravel took this chance to pull out some lamp and lit it up quietly. The light from the lamp engulfed the entire podium, and everyone casted a glance towards Ravel's direction. They were unperturbed by the light, they merely took this chance to relax for a while."No, I'd just stay here with you guys after all." The man assented, he glanced at his torn up robes and
Reborn in another world [Immense pressure]
Everyone got out of their room slumping, they knew that the tournament was about to start again after the walls started shaking and the cheers only became louder. To their expectations, they know that there is probably more drunk man now than the last one. It was a normal scene now, all of them summarized.They didn't wait for the staff to get them, they all went earlier than expected. Ravel was no where to be seen, and Zhi Ruo didn't care, she knew that he was probably with her grandfather now. She met up with the others after seeing that she wasn't the only one that decided to go out early."Yo," the girl greeted raising her arms. The rest of the men turned to look at her direction and nodded, they took in Zhi Ruo's lax appearance and they could not help but tense up. They can't be too friendly now, after all, who knows which one of them fights the other.Like he didn't notice the tensed up atmosphere around him, Alberu greeted Zhi Ruo with an up tone. "Good morning." He said, raisi
Reborn in another world [The bracket]
"Alberu Luminaf vs. Huang Yanyuan""Huo Feng vs. Yu Zhúlín""Ye Zhi Ruo vs. Han Wanran"The names that was being displayed on the board flashed, and it dazzled everyone, everyone but the people on the podium that was looking at their names with blank gazes. Zhi Ruo puckered her lips upon seeing who she was partnered up with."Oh, atleast you got your wish fulfilled." Zhi Ruo said jokingly towards Huang Yanyuan, though the tone of her voice bordered between blandness. Her voice caught everyone's attention, before they all went to look at the board again. They all sighed to themselves."Oh," near her, Zhi Ruo could hear her future opponent mutter to himself. Han Wanran looked like he wanted to be somewhere else the moment he saw his name next to Zhi Ruo. He didn't have any other choice though. It wasn't like the others were any better. Zhi Ruo made her eyebrows twitch, she could not care less as to who her opponent was. She knew she would end up facing them sooner or later. "Ah, well, g
Reborn in another world [Over 500]
Zhi Ruo's eyes narrowed dangerously under her mask and her lips puckered up like she was pondering over something. Her eyes scanned her status one more time, and she half pondered if she should just lock her cultivation realm up, or level up. But the second one she can't do because she needed mission for those.But the girl noticed something. Well, it was hard not to notice because of the hard fact that it was basically the only sore thing that was sticking out from her status window. And that was her STR stat that was well over 500+ now. But she still have not received a single notification from the system.[How come that I could still pump up MP on my weapon, which in turn ramps up my STR stat, but then, I am being told that I can not pump up on the other status points I have?] She could not help but ask the system. The girl was currently blind and deaf to the world as she asked her problem. [That is because the ancient sentient weapon named as "Zhōngguó" is used to serve as a medi
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

[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
