2022-09-10 09:24:00In the end of the day the masked man had already agreed with Zhi Ruo. And despite him looking like he wasn't interested, his curiosity was piqued the moment the girl was involved. He could not help but sway to the beat Zhi Ruo had paced on top of every individual she has met and had a pleasure of knowing.
Zhi Ruo, who always acted like the world revolves around her had a kind of charisma that made people either want or get to know her or wants nothing to do with her. There wasn't a middle ground between these two categories, and needless to say, the girl in question could not care less.
Everyone was curious as to how the person responsible with the points on the Sighted Valley do their job. If the others were curious, then it was even more so for the masked man, that was why he set out to find Zhi Ruo in the first place.
And he did find h

Zhi Ruo leaned back, she didn't answer the masked man's question directly. Rather her attention was on something else, it was on how many people that left through the tower's gate, and how many people that was hidden moved.The masked man didn't think about her silence, as he didn't mind. His attention moved away from the girl, and back to watching the tower. He clasped his masked face on his palm patiently waiting for something to happen."To your right, near the chattering mothers, 4." Zhi Ruo suddenly spoke up, catching the masked man's attention. "Three at the baker's, two men one woman." She continued, and the masked man listened. "To my right six, near the drainage of that one boutique." She motioned her hands in a circle."What are you saying—" confused, the masked man moved his head to where Zhi Ruo was motioning. Only to fi
Reborn in another world [Efficient]
The masked man and Zhi Ruo moved, they were efficient on their actions, their personalities impatient and yet they made no mistakes despite having short fuse. The seats they were seating in became empty, and so did the seats beside their table. Zhi Ruo almost laughed when she saw that there was a group of people that was eavesdropping on their conversation. But it wasn't like they were hiding it in the first place, they literally planned out their operation on open space. But what was funny was, despite hearing the entire conversation she had with the masked man, these people still decided that they would go after her.Zhi Ruo didn't mind, rather she was pleased of the fact that these people made it easier for her to do her job and part of the operation. The girl unhurriedly walked towards the alleyway, a natural hotspot, and a place she was before. And as suspected, the two imbeciles in her tail followed her.She wasn't surprised when she came in face to face with four people waitin
Reborn in another world [But what happens when water hit sand]
A wall of sand came to block the water spheres, but what happens when water hit sand?Zhi Ruo realized this too late as the sand that was once under her control flailed and collapsed when it touched the water. Zhi Ruo didn't catch a break as her opponents were at her again, there was a groan that left her lips when she realized her sand wasn't as effective as she thought it would be againts that water bending sunnova bitch.Nonetheless, sand was sand, and sand was under her control, and even if she had to suck it up from all the mental and MP strain she was getting from the skill she was using. That was currently the only thing she had at her disposal that didn't involve putting her life on the line from MP drainage.So Zhi Ruo persevered and blocked all the attack, she was singed with fire from a bastard that caught her off guard,
Reborn in another world [Imp]
One can say that the masked man's actions could be considered akin to an imp by the way he was moving. What is an imp exactly? In most common definition, an imp is the part of the demon hierarchy that is in lowest of forms. There was one thing that imps are known for, and that is their mischievous personalities.Their image was seen with slyness and the usual visual representation of a demon. The masked man's mask couldn't have looked more menacing when he hovered over his fallen opponents.If not an imp, then the masked man's actions could be described as clowning around.He looked to be having fun as he made his opponents bleed profusely. There was a tinge of amusement in his eyes as he watched his opponents curse him for even breathing."—thats a new one." The masked ma

That was true, the masked man knew what happened next. But it didn't mean that he didn't like hearing it from Zhi Ruo herself."I would still like to hear about it though." The man stated over his noodles."Ah, you know, when they noticed that their teammates weren't coming back anytime soon they tracked down where they were stationed, and they would already know something happened." Zhi Ruo spoke as if the person on front of her should already know what she was talking about. "They go and meet up with me, sees the bodies laying on the alleyway's mud ridden floor, fights with me, and ends up becoming one of the bodies laying on the floor.""That's rather effective." The masked man praised, as if they weren't talking about putting other people's life on the line. He said it so casually that one would feel like he was speaking of some

"If there is that many contestants loitering around the Sighted Valley's area. Then wouldn't it make sense that the smaller teams are near here? By the way, what is your estimation on how many members a smaller team have?" Zhi Ruo begun, but asked a question in turn.She opened her palm, and a handkerchief appeared on top. She used it to wipe her fingers and face, waiting for the masked man to finish what he was thinking."Around a 100 people or so?" The masked man gave a rough estimation of what he had observed earlier on the second challenge. "150 is already a large estimation compared to the the really minor teams that has around 50 contestants." The masked man shrugged."That's what I thought too, I'd rather wipe out the really minor ones but they are hard to locate because of there small amount of numbers." Zhi Ruo scratched her veil
Reborn in another world [The opponent's impatience]
The wind picked up and the unsuspecting passerbys were unaware as to what would happen next. Zhi Ruo and the Masked man suddenly had a feeling as what their opponents were up too.Zhi Ruo craned her neck, but the nearest tower that was under the Sighted Valley was too far for her to make a run for it. It seemed like the masked man knew this too, because when she took a glance at his way she found that he wasn't even looking at the direction of the towers.Whoosh!The sound of an leaving it's bow string was heard, and Zhi Ruo could see the arrow in question heading towards her head. Her sand was quick to rise to her aid, amongst the other things, the locals knew that their was a fight that was about to go down. And thus panic took over the area."Don't they know that if they accidentally kil
Reborn in another world [ring leader father of 10]
The man who Zhi Ruo unceremoniously dubbed as ring leader father of 10 did not take the embarrassment lightly as one would expect of a guy with his appearance. Rather he did not wait for Zhi Ruo and the masked man to finish talking, or in this case, arguing as to who would deal with him, because he was already screaming profanities to them. At his screams of bloody murder, everyone against Zhi Ruo and the masked man instantly leaped to deal with the two that was sharing a glance at the middle of a perilous situation. Zhi Ruo's sand was quick to move catching her opponents off guard. Using that momentum, where Zhi Ruo knocked off three guys with a single 10 MP infused sand wave, the masked man hurried to deal with the finishing blow. He swiftly plunged a hand held knife, no longer than his hands at the necks of the unsuspecting contestants. Zhi Ruo gave a disgusted look when there was a splatter of blood that landed on the hems of her clothes, but the crease of her brows eased up wh

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

"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.
