Chapter 306: Gladly Agreeing

Before she knew it, it was lunchtime. Bai Luochu opened her eyes after her cultivation session and didn't see Cai Ling. She was rather puzzled as Cai Ling would be by her side when she cultivated. Why was the little lass missing today?!

She decided to look for Cai Ling and she pushed the doors open. It was perfect timing as Cai Ling was returning with lunch. The moment she opened the door, it swung into Cai Ling's tiny figure. With the sudden jolt, Cai Ling staggered and nearly lost her grip on the lunch boxes. She took several steps before steadying herself.

"Mistress, why are you in such a hurry? Do you have something urgent to do?" After Cai Ling found her balance, she asked in shock.

Bai Luochu shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I realized you weren't in the room after I completed my cultivation session. I wanted to head out to look for you."

Cai Ling laughed helplessly and explained, "Mistress... you nearly cultivated yourself into an immortal. If I don't bring the meals over on time, I'm afraid you won't even remember to eat." As Cai Ling spoke, she entered the room to arrange the dishes.

Bai Luochu could hear the sarcasm in Cai Ling's words but she didn't say anything. After all, she knew that she would easily forget the time when cultivating. Seeing that Cai Ling had already arranged the table, Bai Luochu didn't reserve herself and sat down to eat her lunch.

"Mistress... there is actually one more thing. Earlier on, this servant went out to receive an invitation card." Cai Ling took out an invitation card and handed it to Bai Luochu.

When Bai Luochu heard the words 'invitation card', she raised her head in anticipation. She was expecting it to be from Pei Qingfeng but when she opened it up, she realized that it was from the First Prince's residence. The light in her eyes instantly dimmed.

Bai Luochu might not have detected her own loss of self-control, but Cai Ling could see everything. She felt her heart slowly shattering and she became even more resentful towards Pei Qingfeng for ignoring her mistress.

After Bai Luochu read the contents of Pei Rumo's invitation card carefully, she placed it down and continued her lunch, "Did you accept it?"

Cai Ling was able to stay silent when she noticed the disappointment in Bai Luochu's eyes when she discovered that the invitation card wasn't from Pei Qingfeng. However, now that her mistress directed a question at her, she had no choice but to reply, "This servant wouldn't dare to. I simply took it on your behalf. If Mistress doesn't wish to attend, you can easily find a reason to refuse His First Highness." Cai Ling thought that Bai Luochu was feeling down because of Pei Qingfeng's recent behavior and it was better if she didn't attend the meeting with the First Prince.

She didn't expect for Bai Luochu to shake her head and say, "Why should I decline? I have been living in the capital city for a long time and I have been busy cultivating. Other than that, I focused all my time on the development of the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence. I never got the chance to rest. Now that I have the chance, I should take the opportunity to take a good look at the capital city of the Cloud Water Nation. I heard that the beauty of the lake overshadows everything in the Cloud Water Nation."

Cai Ling felt that her mistress was serious about it and she quickly acknowledged, "Understood. When lunch is over, I shall inform the First Prince's residence that Mistress accepts the invitation."

Bai Luochu nodded in response and looked at the invitation card. She paused for a moment before picking up her chopsticks. It was clear she was distracted as she didn't really touch the dishes on the table and she merely picked at the ones she liked.
