2022-07-25 11:21:00"You are listening right? Come out they wanna meet you." With arms crossed Zhi Ruo leaned back, as she said aloud.
There was silence before a person appeared next to Zhi Ruo, the kelpie like hair was the first thing that the people in the room noticed. Next was the towering figure, and then the blank eyes.
To say that the eyes of the room didn't go to Tiān Dì the moment Zhōngguó leaned in towards Zhi Ruo's wasn't noticable, was an understatement, even if someone wasn't trying to notice it they will have no choice but to notice it.
There was an uncanny resemblance on how Zhōngguó dressed chose to dress himself, with the librarian that was starting to get annoyed by the gazes that he was receiving. It was apparent on Tiān Dì's twitching brows that he did not like the fact that he was being gazed at oddly.

It wasn't until Kohaku's glare could melt the back of Zhi Ruo's head did she sigh and pout, without even looking at his master Zhōngguó walked around the struggling pile, like a child moping around hoping to be fed candy.After a second or two the phantom projection of the very weapon that they had struggle moving, Zhōngguó reached out and plucked the Bo staff away from them.Upon doing that, Ye Qing Qing almost collapsed with relief. Kohaku stood up with wobbling legs, and Tiān Dì merely threw his head back to the ground. It seems like he was almost dead, because his lips was pale when Zhi Ruo peeked at him.Zhōngguó tossed his real body into the hands of Zhi Ruo who caught it with ease."Why is that thing so heavy?!" Tiān Dì's exclaimed, he t

Amidst the laughter of the grandfather and granddaughter duo, the rest of the people in the room went as far to ask Zhōngguó as to what 'growers' mean. The poor phantom projection had to explain to the confused lot, with blank eyes and a helpless smile on his lips.Patriarch Ye was far too busy gushing over Zhi Ruo's weapons, that he forgot to ask about how Zhi Ruo got the weapons.Though it seems like Kohaku did not forget."I get that these are very rare treasures and all, but how did young miss manage to aquire these?" By these, Kohaku meant Zhōngguó and the wraith devourers.Instead of answering, Zhi Ruo called back her wraith devourers and puckered her lips behind her mask."Ah, about that." Zhi Ruo nonchalantly shrug
Reborn in another world [The catch]
"Yeah" Zhi Ruo nodded affirming to her grandfather's words.To which Ye Gu Shi laughed and explained.In all actuality the emperor owed the patriarch of the Ye clan a favor. This was a known fact between the ministers and the emperor's subjects. Ye Gu Shi and the emperor of Guan Wei empire, has a long lasting history about owning favours to each other.In this case, it was only a matter of the emperor owning Ye Gu Shi, which made the process of transferring Zhi Ruo's name away from the Liu without the general's permission rather fast and easy to the eyes of the beholder.Through the explanation it was apparent that the emperor and her grandfather was close, but Zhi Ruo did not comment upon it.After a long tirade of Ye Gu Shi complainin

Zhi Ruo awoke with a start, a loud noise was blaring all throughout the entire Sighted Valley. She reached for a mask on her nightstand, standing up with haste. Her eyes moved to survey the room and found Ravel slipping inside and handing her Zhōngguó.Outside her room door, there was countless footsteps clicking through.The young miss was quick to identify that those footsteps were her servant's."What time is it?" Zhi Ruo asked after she fastened Zhōngguó over her shoulders securely. She turned her head towards Ravel who was silently helping her with her robes."It's around 10 in the evening master." Came in Ravel's response. "2 hours and the tournament first phase starts." Ravel patted the young miss's robes and went to the window to open it.
Reborn in another world [Wonderer]
"You a wonderer?" A voice that approached Zhi Ruo from behind said. The young miss turned quietly to look at the owner of the voice. And came face to face with a rather peculiar man.Like Zhi Ruo, the man was wearing a mask. Though the man's mask was on the simple side. With a red line on the middle, coming from the forehead and to the chin, the mask looked to be porcelain judging from how it glinted under the light.Zhi Ruo's eyes met with the man's orbs from behind the slits of the mask. For a second she saw the man's eyes narrow."No." Zhi Ruo murmured her reply to the man's question. "Are you?" She in turn, asked.The man approached Zhi Ruo silently, and just like the young miss's the man's posture was that of leisure."Am not

Midnight struck, catching all of the participants off guard when the loud sounds that came from the dome suddenly stopped.The dome in question faded from the sight of all contestants participating.The first phase has officially ended and began.All challengers stood up, and leaped inside the platform, as if coming to a conclusion. Zhi Ruo followed the crowd's will and she ended up standing at the middle of the platform. People gathered around her as if waiting for something.The people didn't have to wait long, because there were figures approaching the gigantic platform.Zhi Ruo saw the familiar figures, and snorted. The 7 feet man beside her looked down as if hearing something weird. Zhi Ruo ignored the person and

Zhi Ruo didn't approach anyone, rather, she was approached by a group of people first. The the group there was three men and a woman. As if they overheard the conversation between Zhi Ruo and the masked man they raised a card. It was the same identical one at Zhi Ruo's hands. "White dragon?" The girl says. Her smile was pretty enough for Zhi Ruo to suspect that she was faking it. "I am." Zhi Ruo nodded, her eyes moved from the girl to the men behind her. They were also raising up the same cards. "That's great, we are complete now." The girl nodded as if relieved. Her eyes twinkles, and Zhi Ruo noticed her eye color was that of deep violet. "Would you mind me asking, what happened to that man? Is he perhaps your companion?"

Kohaku shuffled the cards on his hands, his actions was well practiced that Zhi Ruo had entertained the idea that her senior brother was a magician playing tricks in the streets his past life.There was a pause, and Ye Kohaku finally pulled out a card. And the crowd awaited with bated breath.The card that was pulled out had a red seven character written on it.And a gasp immediately followed soon after, it was soon revealed that the gasp came out from a girl. She looked like a cute bunny with her droopy eyes as she looked at the card on Kohaku's hands and the card on her hand."Please proceed to the arena." Ye Qing Qing could not help but sound impatient.Red seven card group made their way up to the platform and the battle started as

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
[Playmate deal]
Zhi Ruo abandoned the thought of pretending any longer, and instead, her expression morphed into a mischievous, teasing, scowl that indicated none of her true feelings with Yuan Chuanli's behavior. She expressed her fake disappointment by sneering and sarcastically commented, "Oh, come on, where's your sense of humor?" She then reached out and grabbed one of the cups that Ravel had set on the table for them. As Yuan Chuanli rolled his eyes at Zhi Ruo's comment, his doll-like face remained cool and collected, displaying an unflappable composure that seemed at odds with his present company. It was clear that the young genius was used to a life of refinement and elegance, and even the slight hint of vulgarity in Zhi Ruo's tone, even though it was fake, was enough to make him visibly roll his eyes. "Pretend I don't have one," he said, his voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm. It sounded like he was trying to copy Zhi Ruo's tone, however it sounded awkward on his tongue as he didn't us
[You know else starts with "T" other than Tea? Tension.]
Yuan Chuanli reclined in his chair, studying Zhi Ruo intently with his cool, calculating gaze. Uncertain of what her next move would be, he remained silent, allowing Zhi Ruo to take the lead in the conversation. Zhi Ruo sat in front of him, her mask covering her face and her hands folded neatly in her lap. Despite Yuan Chuanli's intense scrutiny, she remained composed and unperturbed. Her eyes, though hidden behind the mask, betrayed a sharp intelligence and a quiet confidence, as if she knew something that he didn't. Yuan Chuanli couldn't help but feel a twinge of unease as he studied her posture, which was relaxed but poised, as if she was ready for anything. He wondered what secrets she was hiding behind that mask, and what kind of person would be so calm in the face of his scrutiny. All of a sudden, a laugh escaped Zhi Ruo's mouth. It rang inside the well furnished room, as if it was fir
[The clash of pride and duty]
If one were to happen upon the scene, without any prior knowledge of the situation, they would undoubtedly assume that Yuan Chuanli was being kidnapped. The look of indignant and reluctance on his face, coupled with the fact that he looked like was being forced to follow Zhi Ruo from behind, would be enough to make anyone suspicious. The resident genius's expression was a mixture of hesitance, frustration, and a poor attempt of getting his poker face back on. His face contorted in discomfort as he trailed behind the heiress, if anything, the only thing missing would be his eyes darting around nervously in search of a way out. Zhi Ruo, on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed by her companion's distress, or if she even noticed it at all. She marched forward confidently, her head held high and her gaze fixed ahead, as if she were completely in control of the situation. Despite the obvious discomfort of her companion,
[A meeting of Minds and Masks]
After much bargaining, and Zhi Ruo's display of 'im going to go even if you disagree anyways' Ye Gu Shi relented at last. Though Zhi Ruo did not miss how there were looks exchanged between Ravel and her grandfather, with her in the middle. The girl wonders if her butler and grandfather truly hadn't thought that she could see their little exchange above her head. And maybe Zhi Ruo did regret a little on how she ignored Ravel's report on her grandfather. It wasn't her fault that she really, badly, wanted to sleep at that time. One shouldn't be deprived of sleep you know. Nonetheless, she figured that the looks that they exchange between them, was mainly for her own good. And so ,she didn't care. It probably was something related to her safety anyways. She got what she wanted in the end, it was a win win situation. Her grandfather asked to borrow her plaque and Zhi Ruo handed it without much thought. Ye Gu Shi sighed when he received the plaque and told Zhi Ruo that she would need he
