Reborn in another world [Gambling isn't good kids!]
Zhi Ruo raised a brow at Alberu upon hearing him. There was smile that quirked on her lips, but she ultimately faced the practitioner again. The audience was at lost as to what was happening but Zhi Ruo didn't care. The girl stared unblinkingly at the practitioner, the ancient weapon on top of Alberu gained momentum.And by that, even as Alberu was fighting off the influence the ancient weapon had on his body. It was futile attempt because Zhōngguó was already on top of him. It was almost impossible to get the ancient weapon off with a realm like Alberu's, who only went through one tribulation. Alberu was embarrassed and humiliated by the fact that Zhi Ruo blatantly turned around and tuned him out in the middle of the fight. However, as embarrassed as he was, he didn't admit defeat. Which was probably the only thing that Zhi Ruo wanted from him right now.Rather than admitting defeat, the masked man was gathering Qi and started to chant. Zhi Ruo heard the chanting, it was almost as if

Large amount of audience was rightfully upset about the loss. In the 'terms' of other bystanders in the audience 'the huge upset', because they were rooting for the masked man to win after they the fight between him and Yu Zhúlín. However, in reality the ratio was 50/50, and there wasn't much of a difference.But Alberu's fans were just vocal about the masked man's whole defeat, much like the contestant that they are rooting for that had a penchant for theatrics. Ravel who was unknowingly— no... who was knowingly listening through the discussions, could only roll his eyes. Of course it was the masked man's fans that would whine and squeal about the defeat of Alberu.The butler continued on with his business, and collected all the money that he won. The sore losers reluctantly handed the money, and some were even hysterically cursing at the butler, but they were just met with a sleazy smile.Yu Zhúlín who was also with the audience at the stands also got a assload of money after putti

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

"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

[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
