Zhi Ruo in particular, took this opportunity to heal herself, soon, Zhōngguó was back into her hands as she pumped her MP into the weapon.Ravel spared a glance at the weapon on Zhi Ruo's lap, but maintained his smile nonetheless, looking like he saw something but pretended to see nothing. Alberu looked at the butler who sported a half smile , long and hard. Before dropping the topic of buying the servant from Zhi Ruo. He had a feeling that his efforts would be futile attempts if he pressed on any further.Alberu's instincts and his well placed decision was correct, and he couldn't have been more right.

The clear names of the contestant were clearly seen and reflected unto the eyes of every people that was watching.Ravel, for an instant, raised his brows upon seeing the line up. He turned his head to Zhi Ruo with his eyebrows still raised. As if he was asking for confirmation of what he was seeing in front of him. However, Zhi Ruo too, was still looking at the hologram board in front of her."Oh," the girl let's out, her hands went to cup her chin. Her eyes shining particularly bright under her mask despite the lack of light. There was a small unnoticed grin on her lips, and it was becoming more apparent that she was amused. "It seems like I would be fighting as to whoever wins you guy's fight."As Zhi Ruo stated the obvious, Yu Zhúlín and Alberu shared a look. "Or, you would be fighting who

The staff beckoned Alberu and Yu Zhúlín from the entrance of the podium with his hand, Yu Zhúlín and Alberu stood up obediently in swift movements.

"You look happy." A old man near Patriarch Ye commented, looking at the humming Patriarch with more amusement that necessary. His brows wiggled along with his beard when Patriarch Ye turned his head towards him. Although the patriarch sighed upon seeing his mug.That didn't seem to dampen his mischievous look. Quite unbenefiting of a man his age. But nobody commented. They looked to be used to his displays. Some even threw their looks of amusement towards him."Is it not normal?" Patriarch Ye replied with a resting smile. Looking at Yu Zhúlín and Zhi Ruo 's name that was hanging on the hologram board. He stroked his short beard and hummed as if he was content. He certainly was in a good mood that one was apparent."Keh," a scoff was heard at the back of the group, this elicited a few chuckles from everyone in the room. Patriarch Ye shook his head with a smile upon hearing the salty scoff. "En, it is quite normal for one to be happy. He, that old foggy, is just sour." Another pipped i
Reborn in another world [Bitter illusion]
The one with the most complicated feelings right now, would have been Yuan Chuanli. But the boy didn't show any outward expression, but only a furrow of his brows. But even that eventually disappeared. His expression was not fit for a boy his age— domineering, and elegant. Ye Gu Shi could not help but sigh when he saw the expression on the boy's face. The patriarch revealed a smile, his hand reaching to pat the chair of Yuan Chuanli. This garnered Yuan Chuanli's attention, however he did not utter a word when he saw Ye Gu Shi's smile.Yuan Chuanli did not know what to feel. But there was a sense of bitterness that was welling up on the pit of his stomach, when he saw the doting look Ye Gu Shi had when looking upon Zhi Ruo. The bitterness only grew when he recalled the fight that Zhi Ruo put up.And even from the meager information he gathered, he could tell that Zhi Ruo was nothing special. But this 'nothing special' girl managed to get his spot as easily as she breathed. Yuan Chuanl
Reborn in another world [Of wills and tongue]
Knuckles white, Yu Zhúlín found some leverage and ripped the shackles that was wrapped themselves securely around his joints, rendering him unable to move at all. Thep wind around him blew stronger, propelling up in the air even longer, interfering with what Alberu wanted.And that was to bring Yu Zhúlín down to the ground where he could reach him. But Yu Zhúlín's wind was strong. And Alberu who was trying to drag Yu Zhúlín to the ground using the shackles made out of light, was about to be blown away from Yu Zhúlín's strong winds that Alberu was unable to defend upon.There was a manic glint on Yu Zhúlín's eyes, as the wind around him picked up."Are you not tired?" Alberu panted, his breath labored but the strength of the light shackles only became stronger in time."I could say the same thing to you." With a contorted face Yu Zhúlín replied, the chains were blocking his airways. And it became hard for Yu Zhúlín to breathe.But the light shackles was not the only one that became st

"I've never seen such thing on top of a tongue before." The old mans in the room chattered amongst themselves, impressed by Yu Zhúlín's intuitiveness. "I have truly lived long enough." The old man sighed to himself, and a bunch echoed his words silently.Yuan Chuanli however hummed to himself listening to the chatter around him. He turned to the Patriarch beside. "Is it truly as rare as they say it to be?" He asked, he looked for a confirmation. But received a chuckle from Ye Gu Shi instead."In the outside world; outside the Ye clan territories. The rune masters live in seclusion, and when they truly want to use their mastery. They usually inscribed it unto the skin or to weapons." The patriarch started, he stroked his beard. "You saw how some people have markings on their arms right? Looking like a bunch of tattoos."Yuan Chuanli nodded, he did notice some cultivators occasionally have those up their arms or back. "Those people probably sought help from rune masters. Very rarely wou

It was a stalemate, however Yu Zhúlín's mouth was starting to bleed. His vision was starting to have black spots on them. And it wasn't long before he passed out on the air.The roaring winds stopped, and the lighting disappeared. Yu Zhúlín's wide eyes blanked out , and he slumpped on the air without notice.Alberu who was pulling Yu Zhúlín down, crashed the green haired man to the ground after he blanked out, not expecting that Yu Zhúlín would lose conscience like that. Alberu hissed as he moved his injured arm, the light shackles around Yu Zhúlín loosened a bit."You could've told me you were going to faint." Alberu muttered going near the limp body of Yu Zhúlín. The thorns that was ledge deep inside Yu Zhúlín's body retracted without mercy. Blood seeped out from the wounds on his body.If Yu Zhúlín was awake, he would've clawed Alberu's mask off his face out of anger. How would he know that he was going to faint. Much less inform his opponent beforehand.But Yu Zhúlín remained limp

[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
