Whispers spread through the crowd every single one there was surprised. A portable pocket dimension was a high tier treasure, the kind that only people in the main branch had in abundancy, and was thinly spread throughout the whole continent. for a mere disciple of a backwater place to have it was absurd. Greed blossomed in the heart of some present. that treasure itself shadowed the robbery itself.
Coupled with Zhi Rui's instantaneous reaction, It was confirmed in their hearts. Zhi Rui looked around at her subordinated gazing at each other's eyes. Zhun Xuying who had come to her side was looking at her with worry.
But Bain Bengwan's formation kept her away.
Zhi Rui's stiff reaction and cold sweat were fake, but her gaze passing by her subordinates was real. Her plan was to show sweety herself. But somehow, the enemy got hold of the information before she did it.
At first, she thought it was Xun Lee as she was the one pretending to be a mole on her group, but she'd warned before selling it. Hilda and Zhhun Xuying didn't even passe through her mind. but her eyes rest on Shizu, who was smiling at her with amusement.
She remembered their agreement in the camp. in exchange of her fighting powers, They'd play a game in which, Shizu would be a double agent, like Xun Lee, except, Zhi Rui wouldn't know if Shizu was truly betraying her or not. except Zhi Rui could see through lies, so that was the best. if Shizu managed to successfully lie to Zhi Rui then she'd win and Zhi Rui would let her go, but if she didn't then Zhi Rui would take her as a slave.
'But still, this is too much. if I hadn't prepared for it beforehand I'd be dead.' Zhi Rui thought that, but her heart was beating strongly with the thrill of almost losing everything. But she yet to confirm if it was Shizu or not. If it was she had won their bet.
Zhi Rui threw her bracelet beside her, and a small simple door appeared.
"This is the portable pocket dimension, to look through my subordinates and base's materials you must do it with a hope rock turned on at all times. if it's turned off, even for a second, a hight grade treasure must be compensated." Zhi Rui stated.
Bu my pocket dimension will be searched by a single Dao protector, and it must be female, they must not be carrying a hope-rock. It's private and I don't want it to spread to everyone. These are my demand if you don't agree. I'll fight you all to death."
Thre was no tremble or hesitating on her voice. She'd really do it.
After a few seconds Gao Fang, again, nodded to her demands.
Bain Bengwan looked at Xia Chum his mesmerizing Dao protector. He didn't say anything but his eyes conveyed enough.
Xia Chu, in turn, squinted at Zhi Rui in deep thoughts. The only other female Dao Protector was the one following Xa Dayu, but she didn't show any reaction from beginning to end.
After a full five minutes. Xia Chu finally stepped forward, only she knew of the storm of mixed feelings on her heart. Zhi Rui opened the door of sweety, and let Xia Chu enter first. She followed and banged the door behind her.
Most of the people were interest on the door to the pocket dimension itself but Bain Bengwan, An Bai, and Chao Cheng were looking at Gao Fang questioningly
He knew of their doubts but refused to muse them with any explanation. He acted on two principles, One is: Even A cornered chicken will peck your neck. And the other is, his own reputation, he was regarded to all, as a dignified and fair swordsman. He didn't want to dirt that image by being ambiguous.
He clasped his hands together and signaled the Dao protectors "Seniors, would you please, search Zhi Rui's base While we wait?"
"Nah, boy, let's wait, sometimes you find what you want in the very first spot you look for, who knows maybe the beautiful Xia girl already found the pile of stolen goods."
The old man with a hunched back, Chao Cheng's Dao protector, spoke. He was at least polite to reply while others simply ignored him entirely. Making Gao Fang's lips twitch in shame.
Zhun XUying looked around her own group. At Xun Lee, at Shizu, at Hilda and even Izaya. The look Zhi Rui gave them she was clearly searching for a guilty face.
Izaya stepped beside Zhun XUying and sighed. "I know what you're feeling but it's of no use to point fingers without Zhi Rui around. I barely managed to calm REn Zu down, you won't be another troubled girl right?"
Zhun Xuying sighed with a frown, she looked at the closed dimension door, and sighed, her hand never left the handle of her sword.

Inside sweety, Xia Chu stood in front of three different storage pouches, she had already investigated them. All of the stolen goods were there. It was undeniable, the pouches even had the names marking to whom each pouched belonged to.
She was astounded, froze in place. From the moment She entered, Zhi Rui signaled to the pouches with her chin and told her to sit down on the couch, while Zhi Rui herself, sat down across from her, and asked for refreshment, and food.
She couldn't speak and stared with open mouth, as two trays of food, floated towards them.
"Thank you, sweety, you're wonderful." Zhi Rui said aloud.
(Humpft, you should warn me you'd bring a guest, I could've cooked something better.) A voice resounded on the room.
'A-A pocket dimension with its own consciousness!?'
She was too shocked. This was too much. There's no way Zhi Rui was someone simple, absolute no damn way there wasn't another organization backing her.
Zhi Rui ate a sugary pastry and smiled with relish.
"I was craving this." She commented.
"I-I-W-Wha- H-How-" The words were stuck on her throat.
Zhi Rui laughed. and put her leg son the couch, before sitting down she washed her legs in the tub. She giggled wi glee while eating pastries and drinking cold orange juice.
Xia Chu simply had no reaction, she expected to enter and search everything with a Zhi Rui standing grumpily to the side.
Yet her she was, Zhi Rui was relaxedly eating in front of her with the goods stolen resting on the small table like it was an exhibit show.
While she herself stood rigid on the sofa not able to spill a single word.
It didn' matter show saw this scene they'd say that Zhi Rui was the one at the sixth level and she was the one worrying for her life.
