Dugu Heng looked calmly at the second elder. There was no warmth in his eyes. “Second elder, there is no absolute in everything. Don’t make yourself too clear.”
“Master, Missy is crazy. Are you crazy, too?” The second elder turned around impatiently. “At her age, it’s fine as long as she behaves herself. But she’s too ambitious. A fourth-level expert is already considered a strong person in the International Association. Is this wishful thinking?”
So ambitious?
With one hand in her pocket and the other holding her phone, Su Huiqing sent a message to Uncle Chen.
Upon hearing this, the corners of her lips curled up. It was impossible for others, but she had already broken through to the fourth level of ancient martial arts… not to mention, she was still a potion maker.
If it was someone else, it was impossible. However, since God gave her such talent, she would definitely not waste it.
Dugu Heng looked up. “Second elder, if you have the energy to say that, why don’t you take a look at Dugu Xing’s injury?”
The second elder’s face stiffened. He flung his sleeves and went straight to Dugu Xing.
When he passed by Su Huiqing, he slowed down his footsteps and said in a low voice, “Return to the Dugu Family now and just be the Missy. Miss Xing has worked hard for everything she has now. Don’t covet what belongs to her. It’s useless.”
He left without looking back.
Su Huiqing stuffed her phone back into her pocket and looked at the second elder with a half-smile. Her face was so beautiful that it was a little overboard.
What did the second elder mean? Did he think that she was jealous of Dugu Xing, which was why she made Dugu Xing lose face in front of everyone?
He wasn’t being selective with his memory, right? This competition was originally requested by them.
“Second elder.” Su Huiqing stretched out her empty hand and rolled up her sleeves. She looked up. “I also feel that it’s best not to covet something that doesn’t belong to you. What do you think?”
She tilted her head slightly, the corners of her lips curled up, looking evil and cold.
That expression and tone…
The second elder’s fingers froze. He turned to look at Su Huiqing, his heart constricting.
It was a little different from what he had imagined. They were clearly from Green City. How could they have such an intimidating aura? Also, what did Su Huiqing mean by that? It was impossible.
When he looked at Su Huiqing again, she returned to her usual calm self.
The second elder calmed down. It was probably just a coincidence. The other party was just a person from Green City. Without connections and power, how could she have such an expression?
Dugu Heng lowered his eyes and his voice. “What do you have to say to that kind of person?”
“Saving a lonely old man.” Su Huiqing retracted her gaze and remained elegant. Unfortunately, it was too late.
The second elder came over to Dugu Xing.
Dugu Xing was being helped up by her clansmen. Her snow-white clothes were somewhat dirty now. She looked different from her usual immortal aura. She had been dragged down the altar, and many people were surrounding her. Yu Shiyue was one of them.
“Elder, I am sorry.” Upon seeing the second elder, Dugu Xing lowered her eyes and said in a guilty tone, “I didn’t win in the competition.”
“It has nothing to do with you. I’m afraid you will have to suffer some grievances in the future.” The second elder could not bear to reprimand Dugu Xing. “Rest well first. The head of the family is muddle-headed. We are not foolish.”
“Is the Dugu Family Head really going to give the spot to an ordinary person?” Yu Shiyue raised his brows.
He didn’t understand the Dugu Family Head’s actions. Su Huiqing was just an ordinary person with no spiritual power. So what if she had powerful external skills? Compared to Dugu Xing, she was insignificant. Anyone with eyes would know who to choose.
No matter how biased he was, he couldn’t be so foolish.
Upon hearing his words, the second elder furrowed his brows even more viciously. “Everyone knows that the mother-daughter pair chose to come back only because they took a liking to the Dugu Family’s family background.
“That Su Huiqing even forced herself to live after her mother went bankrupt. Only Master protected these two like a treasure.”
What he despised the most was the fact that the two of them had rushed over to the Dugu Family, making them seem too lowly. Only Dugu Heng would believe them.
“After all, the Dugu Family is very wealthy.” Yu Shiyue shook his head. Initially, he didn’t have a good impression of Su Huiqing; now, it was even worse.
This Missy Dugu was indeed a little dumb. An ordinary person actually dared to be so arrogant. She was courting death.
…
After obtaining a spot earlier in the training grounds, Su Huiqing prepared to go to the Dugu Family’s potion company.
Upon hearing that she was really going to the pharmaceutical company, Butler Dugu was stunned for a moment. He pointed at the young man beside him and said, “Missy, I have a few students from Monster University’s economics major over here. Let them go with you later.”
He was really worried about Su Huiqing alone. That day, she finished flipping through the financial statements within a few seconds. No one believed that she had finished reading the report in such a short time. That was why Butler Dugu said that to her.
“There’s no need for that.” Su Huiqing walked out with her phone. Upon hearing the butler’s words, she glanced sideways. “I will go to the company to take a look.”
Let the Dugu Family help her? How could they be willing?
Upon hearing that Su Huiqing didn’t want them, the few middle-aged men immediately heaved a sigh of relief and revealed joyous expressions. “Butler Dugu, can we leave now?”
News of Su Huiqing taking the potion company had spread throughout the Dugu Family. Everyone knew about the current development of that potion company. They were all elites in the business world. Who would go to a company with no future?
It was good that Su Huiqing didn’t want them. They could try their luck with Miss Xing.
