Chapter 104: Aunt Makes A Move (1/2)

“Oh? Isn’t this my dear elder sister? It is already so late, why were you in this courtyard?”

The moment Bai Luochu heard the words leave her mouth, she knew that Qianqian had nothing better to do and was up to no good again. Bai Luochu couldn’t help but silently lament that Qianqian was truly like a cockroach that couldn’t be killed. After suffering in the daytime, she actually dared to provoke Bai Luochu again at night. Bai Luochu didn’t know if she should praise her for being perseverant or to say that she was as annoying as a housefly.

“I cleaned up this courtyard hoping for some peace and quiet. Didn’t someone spill a bucket of swill in my courtyard this morning? Oh, that’s right, you should know about it. After all, you were the one who suffered the worst of it. The smell is really pungent! I asked the servants to clean up the place before coming out for a breath of fresh air.”

Bai Luochu was intentionally poking at her cousin’s sore spot and hoped that Qianqian would leave in a fit of rage.

“You!” Qianqian was obviously speechless as she was infuriated by Bai Luocuhu. She pointed at Bai Luochu and there was a look of resentment in her eyes.

“It seems like younger sister is still emitting a strange smell. I so happen to have some incense. Why don’t younger sister come over and get some?” Bai Luochu asked with ‘good intentions’.

When Qianqian heard Bai Luochu’s comments, she couldn’t be bothered with Bai Luochu any longer. Instead, she repeatedly smelled her body for any strange odor. In fact, there was already no more smell as Qianqian cleaned herself thoroughly after the incident in the morning. She almost scrubbed a layer of skin off her body and she only left her room after ensuring that she no longer smelled.

However, after hearing Bai Luochu’s comments, Qianqian felt as though there was a weird smell coming from her body. She no longer bickered with Bai Luochu and she hurried back to her room to shower a few more times.

Cai Ling spoke after Qianqian walked away. “Young Lady, why can’t I smell anything? Is there a problem with my nose?”

Bai Luochu let out a scoff at her question, “Pfff. Hahaha, you are really gullible. I was just messing with her. When I asked her to come take some incense from me, it was to enrage her even more. Otherwise, she will stick to me like a cockroach. Look at how she is always trying to find fault with me. She will probably not rest until she gets to the bottom of things. Our Palace of Brilliance Resurgence has just settled down recently. It is best to be cautious.”

When Cai Ling heard the reply, she revealed an expression of sudden realization. She then praised Bai Luochu, “Mistress is thinking far ahead indeed. Compared to Qianqian, Mistress is truly superior. Just a few simple statements were enough to chase her away.”

“Let’s go. We have worked hard for the entire day. Let us return early and have some rest.” Bai Luochu instructed Cai Ling before walking towards her courtyard.

When Cai Ling saw her mistress walking ahead, she broke out into a small run and quickly caught up to Bai Luochu.

After the mistress and servant returned to their rooms, Cai Ling properly digested all the martial art that she had been learning by herself. As for Bai Luochu, she continued with her cultivation. Everything seemed so peaceful.

Bai Luochu’s room was really peaceful. However, it was the complete opposite on Qianqian’s side.
