Reborn in another world [Battle worn]
Zhi Ruo stepped into the arena after she stood up and brushed the hand that was holding unto her shoulder. She ignored the sour look that crossed the practitioner's face as she did so, the empathy that was once on the man's face was wiped away the moment Zhi Ruo finished her actions.With tattered clothes, Zhi Ruo doesn't recall receiving this many injuries on her body to have this 'many' rips and ‘torns’. She shrugged it off. She probably didn't notice because she was accustomed at the fact that shallow injuries would never really hurt her because of her passive skills.Ravel, from the stands looked at his master,a frown marred his face upon seeing the state that she was in. He looked at Zhi Ruo's torn clothes with an indignant expression. Would they really let his master look like that as she receives the rewards, along with the fame that she won? Ravel thinks that it is ridiculous, because he saw the management would do actually just that.The butler harrumphed seeing the disorient

─━_─━ : Zhi RuoThough he could not see Zhi Ruo's face, and Alberu face could not also be seen by Zhi Ruo. Alberu knows exactly what kind of expression the girl had on her face as she gazed at him from behind. Zhi Ruo also knows that Alberu knows what kind of expression she was having underneath her mask, she rolled her eyes before her gaze moved at the entrance again. Only to see a familiar figure that was her senior brother. At this, Zhi Ruo crossed her hands and waited for the re introduction of Yu Zhúlín.The audience did not fail to to deliver with their praises, and the announcer was quick to take this opportunity to introduce some facts about the tournament as a whole and Yu Zhúlín himself.There was dust of pink that coated Yu Zhúlín's face as the announcer praised him, the pretty girl did a number on Yu Zhúlín who never had such a pretty girl praise him before. But after sensing a judgmental gaze from Zhi Ruo aimed at his way, and a cough from Alberu, Yu Zhúlín averted his g
Reborn in another world [90°]
The announcer was sweating seeing that Zhi Ruo wasn't following the script and wasn't bowing towards the direction of the five hidden overseers. She resisted the urge to reach out and grab Zhi Ruo and force her to bend her body unto a 90 degree angle.But the announcer had a feeling that if she ever had the courage to do that, not only would she lose her hand because of (what she could keenly observe) Zhi Ruo's temper. She would also probably lose her job directly, given if she doesn't lose her life first. And the announcer truly felt like both ways were an unfortunate circumstance for her if ever she decided that she would move. And because she loves her job, and her life, especially her life, the announcer decisively clamped up, and stayed silent until the five big shots in front of her raised their hand to make them stand up. There was a flash of an interesting emotions that made its way unto the announcer's face when she raised her head and saw that the five big shots were actua
Reborn in another world [Bestowing rewards]
"And your face is as mediocre as ever, to think that nobody associated you with the name plum grove grave digger Ma Meilin until you introduced yourself." The patriarch chuckled, he poked Ma Meilin's sore spot repeatedly, and he looked like he was having fun in doing so because of the sly smile that was being displayed on his face. If one was looking at it at a different angle, it would've looked like the patriarch was picking a fight. Ma Meilin, despite her appearance of looking slightly old, was a beautiful woman in her 'fine wine' era. She wasn't ugly to say the least, if she ever crossed the streets in the capital in modern time, she would have undoubtedly made head turns for both men and woman alike. Her heroic and elegant mannerisms made her very much desired even now. Patriarch Ye was just obviously jokingly picking up a fight with her. "Well, that is normal." Ma Meilin harrumphed, a crease appeared in her forehead. Patriarch Ye rolled his eyes after hearing Ma Meilin's rep
Reborn in another world [Eyes on the clown]
Ma Meilin took another scroll from one of the big shots behind her. The crowd was quieted down, the majority were on the edge of their seats, hands expectedly raising banners. Zhi Ruo was reminded of concerts and football games by amount of people that were focusing their gazes at the contestants. The tournament was over, the fights were over, but the crowd was still there, on the edge of their seats and excited for the contestants that they were rooting for. The past tournaments weren't like this, the stands weren't as full as before, and majority would have already stood up after the fight ended. However, now, the stands were full and it seems like nobody had any thoughts of standing up and leaving. Rather their enthusiastic attitude made the staff of the tournament feel burdened. Because of Zhi Ruo's eye catching provocations the tournament became very popular. If this keeps up, and Zhi Ruo will attend th
Reborn in another world [Scrolls and Eye Rolls]
The masked figure returned to Zhi Ruo's side, his hands deftly manipulating the newly acquired scroll. A soft hum escaped his lips as he approached Zhi Ruo, his demeanor seemingly relaxed despite the gravity of their circumstances. "You seem happy." Zhi Ruo raised her head as she nodded towards Alberu, Yu Zhúlín beside her was also looking at the masked man with a smile. Evidently caught up in the euphoria of his recent accomplishments, a self-satisfied smile graced the face of Yu Zhúlín. Alberu spared Zhi Ruo a glance before he nodded. "I am." He said, a quick quirk of his brows before his smile returned to his face, his expressions were hidden though. The only change that Zhi Ruo and Yu Zhúlín saw, was the incline on his head towards their direction. "But not happy enough." Zhi Ruo uttered. There was a twitch on Yu Zhúlín's face, but Zhi Ruo didn't even spare the green haired man a glance. "Who are you to know how happy I am" Alberu rolled his eyes, his hands fiddled with the sc
Reborn in another world [Not there for the glory, just the free stuffs]
"As the champion of the tournament, you will receive the following rewards." Ma Meilin started, her hands moved to open the scroll. "You will receive 50,000 merit points, a cultivation sight of your choosing. Of course, it had to be under the imperial family's name. Numerous cultivation resources of your choosing, along with the resources that are meant for the group you are affiliated with. A peerless treasure of your choosing, a title as a noble in the great Guan Wei empire. A peerless treasure of your choosing as well as a compartment that has 20 kilometers in space inside." Joining the tournament has many perks, and Zhi Ruo thought that the rewards were the best part of it. Nothing beats free cultivation resources, she thought. The young miss itched to grab the scroll from Ma Meilin's hands and stop her from talking about what rewards she, Zhi Ruo, got. She doesn't need anyone peeking on what kind of treasure that she had. But alas, the young miss could not move under the light

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
