Chapter 3857: Hard to Understand

Qin Xiu fundamentally realized that this little stoic didn't dislike even those lowly beggars with no cultivation, and had even helped them.

For these beggars, the little stoic had not hesitated to teach some noble young masters and ladies a lesson.

Because of this, Qin Xiu found it very hard to understand.

From this incident, it was clear that the little stoic might not be such a superficial person, one who solely judged depth based on a person's cultivation.

Was he perhaps even worse than those dirty beggars?

They were both people with no cultivation, so why could she so kindly help those beggars for free, yet when facing him, she insisted on being so calculative?

He, a refined young master with excellent composure, was always so infuriated by this stoic face that he almost exploded, all his good manners forgotten.

Qiao Mu shot him a sideways glance, not wanting to answer the question.

Could she tell him it was because she didn't want him to owe her a favor, so she had to settle everything with money?

Too lazy to explain!

"There are twenty million in the spirit coin card," Qin Xiu said coldly.

Qiao Mu paused, then let out an "oh" and turned her expressionless face to look at him.

She felt a slight sense of surprise. Although this Fifth Young Master was weak in all aspects, she never expected him to be so wealthy.

Since she had taken his money, the little one had no psychological burden in her actions.

It was a matter of settling accounts; she didn't want this Qin Xiu to owe her a favor, which might lead to endless nagging in the future.

"I'll give you change later," Qiao Mu handed him a small bowl of holy rice, and also gave him half of the mushroom and meat stew.

"No need," Qin Fifth Young Master said indifferently.

This small amount of money meant nothing to him. But for some reason, a feeling of vexation was bottled up inside him, unable to dissipate.

"That won't do," the young girl said, adhering to her principles. "Since we agreed on ten million and ten thousand, I won't take an extra dime from you."

If she took an extra dime, wouldn't that mean she owed him a favor instead?

Heh heh, was Little Qiao's favor that easy to get? Dream on.

Qiao Mu squatted beside him, holding a bowl of holy rice in her small hands, using chopsticks to pick up a piece of stewed meat from the soup pot. She took a bite and her small brows couldn't help but furrow.

It didn't taste as good as Qiao Qiao Lian's cooking.

She had previously argued with Qiao Qiao Lian. She wondered if he was still upset now and how she would appease him later. Qiao Mu mused inwardly, though her face remained expressionless.

Qin Fifth Young Master took a bite, tasting nothing. The holy rice was soft and melted easily in his mouth, no wonder people in the Imperial City fought daily for a bowl of this rice...

As for the small mushroom and meat stew, to be honest, it didn't taste very good. It was a bit too salty, and wasn't it a bit tough on the teeth too!

But he ate all of it.

Heh heh, since he paid for it, not eating it would be a waste.

The young girl naturally couldn't finish the remaining half-pot of mushroom and meat stew. Frowning at the half-finished pot, she stood up, wanting to pour it out.

Qin Xiu frowned and called out, "What are you doing?"

"Pouring it out."

Outside, a zig-zagging bolt of lightning flashed across the sky with a "boom," suddenly illuminating the night and revealing a dark figure at the cave entrance.

If it were any other girl, she would definitely shriek in fright.

But the little stoic remained expressionless. In fact, her small hand moved faster than her mind, and she directly fired a volley of hidden weapons towards the cave entrance.

This was truly impressive...
