2974 Unfeeling
Additionally, he had been administered the Soft Bone Powder and intoxicated with a love potion, leaving his body in a debilitated state. He was now unable to even open a small medicine bottle.
Qiao Mu cast an irritated glance at him and grumbled, “Annoying.”
The young girl approached, stooped over, and swiftly snatched the medicinal solution from his grasp. With a rough hand, she removed the stopper and crouched beside him. She roughly turned his flushed face toward her with one hand and forcefully poured the medicinal solution into his mouth with the other.
Qinxiu’s heart raced, and he found the little lady’s cold, jade-like hand somewhat unsettling.
“One and a half bottles of antidote per day. Just take it for two days,” Miss Qiao stated apathetically after finishing. She then lifted Fifth Young Sir Qin up from the ground. “Don’t forget the one million spirit currency and the tearless grass.”
Fifth Young Sir Qin, his heart brimming with dissatisfaction, struggled to raise his head and look at her. “Why… why do you despise me? Is it because I’m crippled?”
He couldn’t help but notice that this stoic young lady had chosen to utterly disregard him. It was as if she couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge his presence at all.
Her demeanor was starkly different when interacting with Qi Xuanxuan and the others. Although her expression had remained unchanged for thousands of years, it was evident that her attitude and tone were drastically distinct when speaking with him compared to her interactions with Qi Xuanxuan and the others.
“Whether you’re capable or not has no bearing on me,” Miss Qiao retorted bluntly.
She was entirely disinterested in the affairs of the Qin Estate. Had she not coincidentally crossed paths with them today, she wouldn’t have gone searching for them at all.
The affairs of the Qin Estate’s Fifth Qin and Nether Prefecture’s Ming Bao were of no concern to her!

What a hassle it was to bring this person back to the academy for mission credits!
At least the trip had not been entirely in vain, as she had managed to secure the elusive tree seed fragment.
Just as Qiao Mu exited the courtyard with Fifth Qin, she unexpectedly encountered Eldest Young Sir Qin, who had rushed over upon hearing the news.
Eldest Young Sir was initially taken aback but then waved the small fan in his hand, offering a sly smile. “Oh my, my dear Qiaoqiao, what a small world it is! It seems our fate knows no bounds!”
Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at him. Her intent was to bypass him and continue walking, but when she noticed the person she was holding, she promptly handed him over.
“I’ll return this to you!” Without further ado, Qiao Mu pivoted and departed. “Make sure to settle the bill by tomorrow.”
Fifth Young Sir Qin’s countenance darkened. He was on the brink of falling when his elder brother lent him support.
When he turned to look back, all he could see was the back of the young girl’s head.
“Hey, my Qiaoqiao, why are you in such a hurry?” Eldest Young Sir Qin blinked. Swiftly, he caught up with Qiao Mu and extended his hand to halt her.
“Who’s dining with you?”
Qiao Mu regarded Eldest Young Sir with an unemotional expression. “I’ve been fasting lately.”
“Impossible.” Eldest Young Sir shook his head resolutely. “You should eat three meals a day!”
