2022-12-05 21:53:00Zhōngguó 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.

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

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.

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.

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

"Is this supposed to be like some sort of a comedic show?" Zhi Ruo squinted her eyes as she commented on the screen. "Am I tripping or is there a fucking bull in the arena made out of some green light typa shit?" Her head tilted to the sides as she tried to see if her vision was failing her or not."What in the world are you talking about?" Yu Zhúlín shook his head as if he himself wasn't also surprised that a huge bull appeared in the place of the masked man's opponent."Bitch you know what I'm talking about." Zhi Ruo harrumphed quietly, "Acting like you dont see the typa shit I see." She knocked on the table in a soft rythm.Their conversation was left unnoticed by the rest of the people in the room who also had the same reaction as Yu Zhúlín, but not as explosive as Zhi Ruo's.&nbs

Much to everyone's expectations, the masked man ended up winning spectacularly. There wasn't much to say to that, other than the fact that everyone who knew the masked man well enough knew that he would win sooner than later.Zhi Ruo dubbed this win as 'the masked man's clownery'. To her, this was a fitting name for the guy. However the crowd would not agree to those thoughts, because they 'thought' that the masked man earned his win righteously. This was a normal occurrence that was happening in the crowd.Because majority of the audience were mortals, and of course, they didn't know any better. The masked man won when his blade peirced dramatically into the bull's head. When the green light disappeared, the barbaric man was revealed, and the masked man's sword directly peirced into his head.It wasn't even a spectacula

The room sunk into an awkward silence the moment Zhi Ruo quipped in from the sides. Eyes darted from Zhi Ruo to the smiling girl who was straining her smile the more the silence dragged on. Zhi Ruo however, wasn't apologetic with what she bluntly stated.To everyone, it felt like Zhi Ruo was picking a fight. But at the same time, they also felt awkward because there wasn't anything wrong with what Zhi Ruo said. Nobody 'did' ask for the smiling girl's opinion. If anyone would say, it was the smiling girl first who was rude by butting into a conversation she wasn't apart off.Zhi Ruo merely stated, rather bluntly, what she was doing."Excuse me?" Taken aback, the smiling girl finally found her voice and could not help but comment back."You heard me." Zhi Ruo didn't take her eyes away f

A few minutes passed and the room stayed silent. The usual rotation of replacing the room members continued, another new guy was put in the place of the girl that died. It wasn't new at this point. But it certainly did feel foreign everytime someone was replaced.This time, a well dressed youth walked in the room with a fan on his hand. His green robes attracted quite the attention amongst the people in the room who wore the mainly shades of grey, red and black. The man smiled upon entering the room.His gaze— Zhi Ruo noted, landed on the masked man for a second on her side for a second too long. But this actions of the well dressed youth escaped everyone's suspicions, all except Zhi Ruo's."Hello," The man nodded, pushing aside the familiar staff out of the way, and entering the room by himself.

The room quieted down as Yu Zhúlín got out of the room, Zhi Ruo resumed her role as the person that flipped through the channels to find the match. It didn't take about three skips, when Yu Zhúlín was shown walking towards the arena with a soft smile on his face.The brackets were getting shorter, it meant the top twenty was good to be chosen soon. The contestants summarized that if Yu Zhúlín wins this round, he would have a 'safety net' over his head. Meaning he would at least be part of the top twenty to say the least.When Yu Zhúlín got inot his arena, there wasn't a opponent on sight, Yu Zhúlín had to wait for his opponent because he got there early.The masked man glanced at Zhi Ruo's hands in amusement, seeing the girl already on her 3rd pill.

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
[Loopholes]
Vaguely, Zhi Ruo could see Yuan Chuanli opening and closing his mouth like he was trying to formulate the right words that was on his mind. She could not help but compare him to a goldfish, it was already arguable enough that he also had the type of look that she would see 'in a goldfish '. Although she had motioned for the guy in front of her hurriedly, she didn't actually mind and was not in a hurry at all, she is already taking her time secretly. Her reason? Zhi Ruo thought that this type of actions was like a power trip. The young miss would never 'miss' such a chance, even if it's miniscule. Yuan Chuanli who digested every words Zhi Ruo said, was a bit speechless, but was starting to get used to Zhi Ruo's antics. He understood where Zhi Ruo was coming at. And he knows that 'she' was giving this type cooperation was for her own, and his, good. But having
[Eccentricity]
As if she didn't hear the uncertainty that coated each of Yuan Chuanli's words, Zhi Ruo tilted her head. "Didn't you hear me? I already said that grandfather's words are most likely to be excuses." Zhi Ruo waved her hands dismissively. Yuan Chuanli watched Zhi Ruo's careless actions and wanted to sigh. It was his luck to face such a indifferent and free willed heiress. He had finally decided to trust the rumors, that the true blooded Ye clan members are an eccentric bunch, more eccentric than the ancient cultivators that decided to live out of the current society. Yuan Chuanli thought that Ye Gu Shi was a weird one. He soon followed that thought with; that was because he hadn't met Zhi Ruo yet. "Even if the patriarch's words are excuses, I plan to follow his words exactly at face value." The guy said, causing Zhi Ruo to frown. Who knew that Yuan Chuanli was such a good law abider th
