Chapter 291: Silently Determined
Zi Su became rather embarrassed after hearing Bai Luochu's praise. She immediately replied modestly, "How can that be possible? Young Lady Luo Chu is making fun of me."
Since the two of them started talking, the poor Cai Ling was standing by the side as she seethed in silence. Cai Ling was obviously unsatisfied with Zi Su's sudden visit. Moreover, she looked so familiar with her mistress! She wasn't even able to voice her discontent as her mistress would probably scold her for speaking out of turn.
As Cai Ling's thoughts ran wild, she slowly suppressed the anger in her heart.
Zi Su had a personal agenda for visiting the general's residence. She wanted to take a look at Bai Luochu's servant who had been evaluated highly by her master. When she was conversing with Bai Luochu, her gaze would occasionally shift towards little Cai Ling who was standing in the corner. Cai Ling's expressions were naturally caught by the observant Zi Su.
Initially, when Zi Su noticed Cai Ling's irate look when she appeared, she felt that she made a wasted trip. She felt that Zi Su had put up a good show in the First Prince's residence for her master to hold her in such high regard. However, when she realized that Cai Ling regained her composure in an instant, she saw her in a completely different light.
Right now, she seems like an immature lass. However, after a few years of training from Young Lady Luo Chu, she might turn out to be a completely different person. Master is right... This lass is indeed incredible. In time to come, she should turn into a formidable leader. Since Young Lady Luo Chu has never taken background into account, this little girl might just become an influential figure in the imperial city...
Zi Su quickly shifted the topic to talk about Cai Ling. "Are you Young Lady Luo Chu's personal servant?"
Cai Ling raised her head and looked at Zi Su without a trace of fear. There was a trace of smile on her face as she replied, "Yes. Is there a reason behind sister Zi Su's question?"
Zi Su lowered her head and smiled. There was a bashful look on her face as she replied, "Nothing much. I heard rumors about you storming into the First Prince's residence several days ago. Moreover, my Master praised you without end... That was one of the reasons I decided to head over. I wanted to see the person my Master held in such high regard."
"Sister Zi Su must be teasing me! I really do not deserve such praise from His First Highness. I did it because I didn't want my Mistress to be misunderstood. I was offensive and rude... I hope sister Zi Su can relay a message to His First Highness that I sincerely apologize for my behavior."
Even though Cai Ling's words held no hidden meaning, she managed to end the conversation.
Zi Su shook her head helplessly and laughed, "Master is right. It is really a straightforward and efficient, fish gutting sword."
"Fish gutting sword?" Cai Ling was about to ask but Zi Su evaded the question.
"Young Lady Luo Chu, I have delivered the invitation card. Please look through it and decide whether or not you would like to attend. There are plenty of things in the First Prince's residence I need to take care of. I shall take my leave and there is no need to see me out."
Zi Su immediately left after speaking, leaving behind a puzzled Cai Ling and an enlightened Bai Luochu. When Bai Luochu saw that there was no keeping Zi Su, she turned to Cai Ling. "Do you know how big of a disaster you brought onto yourself?"
"Disaster? What disaster? This servant stayed in the residence for the past few days. I tried my best to cultivate and didn't cause any trouble! I didn't even head to the Remote Paddy Inn or other places... What did I do?" Cai Ling felt wronged by Bai Luochu's sudden criticism.
