Outside the school hospital, two female students were peeking around.
Xin Lin recognized them—they were the sa two she had encountered outside the Dining Hall the night before.
One of the unfortunate female students who were poisoned last night had, after drinking a bowl of green bean soup and throwing up, woken up and was sent away.
It seed like she had made a good recovery.
"Little girl, is Master Mo in? We’re here for a follow-up visit."
The one who wasn’t poisoned spoke; she was slightly shorter than the poisoned student and a bit more plump with a round face.
"Little girl, what’s the na of that new young brother that just ca? Why haven’t I seen him before?"
The poisoned one, with a sharp face and fair skin, had a unique Jade Pendant hanging from her waist. As she spoke, she kept glancing at Chu Beiqing.
Silly Chu hadn’t yet realized that he was being "watched," as he was trying to find the Overlord Egg that had hidden itself inside a Sealing Spirit Talisman.
"It’s as if you’d t before."
Xin Lin helplessly rolled her eyes.
She had noticed that ever since her foolish father had beco simple-minded, he seed to have especially good luck with won.
Chu Beiqing was handso, but unfortunately, he was a perennially cold and aloof beauty.
According to the reliable testimony of Shi Guiren, in the past, any person of the opposite sex who entered Chu Beiqing’s field of vision within fifty feet—including mothers—would be scared by his icy gaze and have nightmares at night.
But after becoming stupid, things were different.
Silly Chu would laugh easily, and when he did, it was like the wind rippling a pool of spring water, disturbing the hearts of won both young and old, from eight months to eighty years of age.
Xin Lin was not keen on accepting an underage stepmother like Master Mo, let alone one who was about her age.
"Master Mo is taking a nap; I recognize you two. The poison you had was mostly dealt with last night, just keep drinking green bean soup and you’ll be fine."
Xin Lin said dismissively, signaling that they could leave as she pondered over how to complete her random assignnts.
One of her random tasks, progress on the Four Examination thod, hadn’t been touched for quite a while.
"No, no, no, I’ve decided I’m still not feeling well. Lately, my back aches and my legs are tired, I feel weak, and I’d like Master Mo to check out. We can wait for her."
Saying this, the two female students refused to leave and stood nearby, stealing glances at Chu Beiqing with little hearts in their eyes.
"Hey, who knows when Master Mo will wake up, you should co again another day."
Xin Lin was getting anxious to send them away but then had a thought.
She looked at the poisoned female student.
"You said you have backaches and leg pains, right? I’ll check it out for you."
"You know how to treat disease?"
The poisoned female student was skeptical.
Her health issues were actually chronic; she had seen many doctors, even several Imperial Physicians, but none had given a definite diagnosis.
Bringing it up now was purely because she wanted to loiter in the School Clinic and admire the handso man.
Little did she know that this kid, who had popped up out of nowhere, claid to be able to treat illness.
"I’m an apprentice hired by Master Mo, and my family has a history of practicing dicine, so I can diagnose so conditions. Don’t worry, if I’m wrong, you won’t owe a consultation fee."
Xin Lin glanced at Master Mo, who turned over and continued to sleep soundly.
With limited patient traffic in the dical Hall, it wasn’t easy for Xin Lin to collect the required patient count for her random task. Since it was only a matter of performing the Four Diagnostic thod—looking, listening, asking, and feeling pulses—and not about prescribing dications, Xin Lin was ready to get going.
Both female students hesitated, so seeing this, Xin Lin gestured towards her silly father to co over.
Silly Chu, seeing this, happily moved a stool over for the two female students to sit down.
The two won felt obliged to comply, and the poisoned female student reluctantly extended her hand.
