Zhi Ruo heaved a breath, "I don't like you, I hope you know that." She uttered staring directly at the man in front of her.
And just like any man that reached for immortality, the pride and ego was carved deep into his soul and plastered into his bones, and so reflecting on his skin. The man scoffed dully when he heard Zhi Ruo.
He could not underestimate Zhi Ruo as she came out from nowhere and nonchalantly massacred the horde, and saved them in the process. But it doesn't mean he wasn't confident in his abilities, in doing this though, he could not do anything but just show his. dissatisfaction

Zhi Ruo had walked for a while before she had stumbled upon a wolf, it was sniffing the ne of the herbs that she had been interested in. If she knew that the wolf was in a pact, and would have called reinforcement when it saw Zhi Ruo.Then she should've have turned a blind eye at the herb, and walked away.But how could she have known that the wolf was a coward, she could not stop the howl that ripped from it's throat.

Minister Wu snorted coldly as he replied to Ye Gu Shi. "Patriarch Ye must be joking!" Minister Wu started. "How could a person with a trashed meridians be able to cultivate? It's already a great honor for the Young lady to be able to marry my son as his concubine." He shamelessly said. Not at all finding his words too much. "Trashed meridians? How could that be?" Of course Ye Gu Shi had heard about the infamous nickname his granddaughter had upon her head when he had heard news about her whereabouts. But Ye Gu Shi did not believe that Zhi Ruo was really someone like those rumours had described her. He had all reason to believe that his granddaughter was not that easy to work around with. He had recalled how his granddaughter had looked at Ye Kohaku and Ye Qing Qing, when he had first introduced them to her.

The servant didn't mind and left.Basked in silence, as both took their time to read the letter in their hands.'Is this true?' Ye Gu Shi could not help but reread the entire letter again.

Ravel came with his head lowered, his appearance was that of Zhi Ruo's servant. Ravel didn't change his appearance, opting on using his temporary identity in front of Zhi Ruo.He had heard Zhi Ruo's call, and was wondering why she had called him. He took in Zhi Ruo's appearance under the glow of the forest. It didn't seem like Zhi Ruo was in any danger other than a few blood patches that he saw was already healed, so he had dropped that thought."Have you completed what I asked of you?" It was Zhi Ruo who spoke first. Throwing the bones left by the snake. She sat down on the branch and asked. The night was still on the higher branches, having less predator in the airal zone at the night time."Yes, it was completed after a few hours under Biān Fú's hands." Ravel hid his arms on his sleeves as he lightly stood beside Zhi Ruo on a br

Yuan Chuanli grunted after being pulled by Zhi Ruo roughly, he managed to twist his body into a much more comfortable position the moment he realized that he was almost sitting on Zhi Ruo's lap. The awkward cough that he let out escaped Zhi Ruo's noticed, but how he distanced himself in a prim and proper way certainly didn't.Zhi Ruo puckered her lips unused and a bit confused as to why Yuan Chuanli was so quick to fluster but she shrugged it off either way. Instead, she inclined her head towards the table in front of her where the paper laid on the table innocently. Yuan Chuanli's face was placid, as he only took a second to gather his thoughts. He blinked, and for him, that was the only indication that he already had a incantation in mind. "Hmm, I have a feeling you need one of those security incantations?" Yuan Chuanli leaned on the table. His hands cracking as he pulled on his fingers. From the corners of his eyes, he co

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

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
