Chapter 87: Master's Peculiar Compliment

"Your Highness, this subject departs." Lan Xinyu greeted the fifth princess with a proper farewell along with a slight bow. She glanced coldly at Ling Chuxi as she walked past her with Shu Yuanfeng and Pei Qianqian in tow.

When Lan Xinyu and her group were at quite a distance, the fifth princess immediately switched from the arrogant demeanour she'd been projecting to one of a little white rabbit. She bounced up to Ling Chuxi to obtain validation. "What do you think, master? Didn't I put on a good show? Wasn't I very cooperative?" The fifth princess blinked her eyes until she became starry-eyed as she looked at Ling Chuxi with an expectant expression, practically begging to be rewarded.

"Yes, that wasn't bad. I'll teach you something later on." Ling Chuxi smiled as she reached out a hand to pat the fifth princess' head. She only retracted her hand once she had tousled the fifth princess' hair into resembling a bird's nest.
