"Gu?" Zhi Ruo tilted her head in confusion, before a memory flashed in her thoughts making her nod slowly. "That's right, I was playing with Gu back when I was the hunting grounds. I remember that I was putting them in a container— or was it a bottle I don't know, anyways I put them in one place and I left it to you."
Zhi Ruo stared blankly at the table in front of her while recalling the events that transpired, she did it in the moment; gather the Gu and all. Now that Ravel reminded her, it sparked her curiosity.
"That's right, only one Gu was left, it seemed to have eaten the others and it mutated." Ravel nodded as he informed what happened to the Gu. "What would you like to do with it?"
"It'd be nice if there's someone that can contract a Gu in the team." She wistfully said referring to Han Meng and the others, cupping her hands
Ravel bent his body in a silent goodbye, he disappeared the moment the door slid open. Zhi Ruo's face didn't change, as if their wasn't anything wrong. The masked man, now in clean clothes, and with his mask without a splatter of blood, stepped inside the room his hair in a shade of something in between blonde and and his normal dark obsidian black.However, because of the fact that there's 'blonde' in his hair, she sincerely doubts that obsidian black is his actual hair color. As if he noticed Zhi Ruo's stare, the masked man took out a towel and rubbed it in his damp hair."Are you blonde?" Zhi Ruo could not help but mutter curiously. Her head was tilted to the side, curiosity coated her voice. "Or is it dye?""I dyed my hair black before the tournament." Came in th masked man's curt reply. "It helped concealed my identity, though
Apparently, the person that the masked man saw was indeed Yu Zhúlín who was lurking around the establishment they were currently in. Zhi Ruo's senior ended up scolding the masked girl, along with the masked man that was innocently acting like he wasn't part of the whole ordeal."I get that you are mad, but why are you acting like it was my idea to go around and earning points like that?" The masked man sneakily gave Yu Zhúlín food, and it was like magic when Yu Zhúlín calmed down of his tirade after he took a bite. Food was really the key to a man's heart."Are you saying that it wasn't your idea?" Yu Zhúlín grumbled over his soup, he looked at the masked man giving his silent thanks for the food in his hands. Which he instantly knew that the masked man was paying for, because by now he certainly knew Zhi Ruo enough.The masked man shrugged mischievously, as if he was bent on digging a grave for Zhi Ruo. "It certainly wasn't mine, I was just her partner. She was the first one that ask
Yu Zhúlín proceeded to tell Zhi Ruo what she already knows. The masked man gave her a odd glance after seeing that Zhi Ruo actually sat through the whole explanation. But he didn't say anything, and played with Zhi Ruo's charades.He found that it was fun being near Zhi Ruo, he certainly doesn't mind playing along if that's what she wanted.In the mean time, he played with his hair and he willed it to turn into black. Zhi Ruo who seemed like she was listening attentively tapped her fingers in a rhythm on the table. This caught Yu Zhúlín's attention and his explanation was summarized."I know already," Zhi Ruo revealed at last, a small smile hung on her face when she saw Yu Zhúlín's eyes roll. "However, do I really have to participate on this plan of theirs? I'd rather not honestly." She drawled, s
"Team, get ready to move out. Contestants of the Sighted Valley should already be in position." Those were the words that are passed around in between the two towers that was under the Sighted Valley's control.Zhi Ruo who was also part of this team naturally got the message, though she did nothing of sorts when she heard it. It was dawn when her team made their move. And the raid that the Sighted Valley team planned had officially started the moment the word spread around.When Zhi Ruo stepped into the territory of the Sighted Valley, there was a tense undercurrent that she herself could also feel. A day has passed, and Zhi Ruo had not slept a wink, but this didn't damper her curiosity at how the raid that her team planned would go out. She made herself scarce, and for the first time since the second part of the tournament started, she decided to head into one of the towers
Zhi Ruo groaned aloud and proceeded to ignore such question. Instead her eyes and body movement moved to the board in the middle of the room, which Zhi Ruo saw had the plans written out and the pieces of what she could tell looked alot like the Sighted Valley's logo.Her actions indicated that she wasn't in the mood to answer questions, and was instead interested in the plans that the team made. However, it looked like the purple clad woman wasn't far too pleased with how Zhi Ruo treated her.The young miss doesn't know if it was because the past hours that she was away, the Sighted Valley contestants managed to make the purple clad woman's ego inflated, or she was just this arrogant to begin with. But it looked like the purple clad woman's gaze turned hostile towards Zhi Ruo's lack of interest to show her some respect.The purple c
Zhi Ruo managed to look around at the plans scattered around the table, while Jiayi was still kneeling with a blade to her neck. It was a wise decision for Jiayi to stay silent and do nothing to resist until Zhi Ruo was done with looking around.Because the Ye clan members would not hesitate to draw blood from her throat of she really dared to resist. The Ye clan were prideful people, especially so because they were called great that they are prideful.Having Zhi Ruo being insulted in front of them, irked them as much as it irked Zhi Ruo herself. After all, they finally got an heiress, if anything happened to the heiress or if they did not obey their heiress. Regardless of whether they are currently in a competition or not, the chances of their head flying was pretty much guaranteed.If their patriarch weren't the one who kills them
When Zhi Ruo arrived at the street, it looked normal from afar. But upon closer inspection, the young miss could instantly see some poorly disguised cultivators wondering in and about. Heck, she even saw a guy enter and get out of a store threw times, and nobody batted an eyelid.Within a minute of walking around, as everyone started to prepare for the day. She saw a few Sighted Valley team members walking out from an alleyway. She was pleased to see that at least these members did not go out individually but in teams of three to four.The sun was creeping up, as dawn ended. And within a few minutes the raid that her team planned out would go in full swing. In the meantime, Zhi Ruo leaped into one of the establishment's roof on broad daylight. Instantly eyes were on her.As everyone was walking through the shadows, and t
"You called?" Zhōngguó materialized beside Zhi Ruo peeking from best her. He glanced at the pile of pink balls beside Zhi Ruo who was holding 5 on each hand."How good is your aim?" Zhi Ruo asked, she watched as Zhōngguó kneel down to take ten on each hand. She on the other hand was stretching her shpulders."Pretty good." Zhōngguó replied copying Zhi Ruo's actions. He didn't ask questions, though he already had an inkling as to what was going to be happening.He doesn't know what to expect with this master of his, he wonders if he was an unlucky artifact or he was a lucky artifact for being bound with such a unhinged person. Though, he considers that this would be his good luck acting up, after all, he heard that weird people usually attracts good stuff.(Just a
