“Missy, when will your teacher be back?” The first elder asked.
The seventh elder glanced at the first elder but didn’t speak.
Apart from Dugu Heng’s people, everyone in the Dugu Family called Su Huiqing Miss Su. Only towards Dugu Shuang did they say ‘Missy’.
Dugu Shuang pursed her lips. “It should be soon. Don’t worry, First Elder. Nothing will happen to Grandpa.”
The first elder glanced at Dugu Shuang and forced a smile. “With Master Yun around, nothing will happen. Let’s go and fetch Master Yun.”
They walked to the door and saw Su Huiqing returning with Xiao Ba.
Xiao Ba was holding a bucket in his hand.
“Xiao Ba, where did you guys go?” The captain of the guard frowned when he saw that Xiao Ba still had some sand on him.
Xiao Ba raised the bucket in his hand. “I went fishing with Missy. She’s awesome! She has half a bucket of fish!”
The guard captain took a look and saw that there were indeed fish inside. They didn’t look small, but his brows furrowed even more. “Xiao Ba, you are also a member of the guards. You have finally reached the third level, and your talent is not bad. You should also lose your will to play when following Miss Su…”
He had long heard that this Miss Su had already gotten someone to install an Internet connection before she returned. He initially didn’t believe it because Miss Su was really powerful.
Right now, he had no choice but to believe her.
“Captain, without Missy, I won’t reach the third level. Don’t say that.” Xiao Ba glanced at the captain. “I know you are doing this for my own good, but don’t speak about Missy when you talk to me in the future.”
With that, he carried the bucket and followed closely behind Su Huiqing.
The first elder and the rest also looked at Su Huiqing. Seeing her take off her straw hat, they couldn’t help but sigh.
Su Huiqing’s talent was not bad. It was really not bad. It was just that… she was too lacking. Such a person could not be the successor.
He turned to look at Dugu Shuang. She was not flustered at all. Despite the fact that Old Master Dugu and her mother had fallen ill, she was still able to sort out her thoughts and look for the teacher. Everything had been arranged perfectly, and her eyes were filled with satisfaction.
A perfect successor not only required strength, but also brains, power, and connections.
Meanwhile, Su Huiqing had gone out to play for a while and didn’t even know that Old Master Su was in danger.
“First Elder, Seventh Elder.” Su Huiqing spun the hat in her hand and glanced at Seventh Elder and the rest. “What are you guys doing here?”
“We are waiting for a big shot. If Miss Su has nothing to do, please go back first.” The first elder’s expression was mild.
Su Huiqing couldn’t be bothered to talk to them. She had to wait until she got to her room before looking for Chi Yue. She didn’t object and nodded at them before turning to enter.
Upon hearing this, the seventh elder swallowed his words. He originally wanted Su Huiqing to stay and meet Potion Maker Yun and his friends. With Su Huiqing’s current status, there was no harm in knowing more people.
However, judging from the first elder’s expression, he clearly didn’t intend to let Su Huiqing meet anyone.
Thinking up to this point, the seventh elder couldn’t help but sigh.
He looked at Su Huiqing’s back view as she held her straw hat. He started to think if he was wrong. What happened on the island was just a coincidence. It had nothing to do with Su Huiqing.
Just as he was thinking, Potion Maker Yun had already arrived with his friends.
“Shuang’er, let me introduce you guys. This is the First School’s potion teacher, Mr. Ming, who was famous all those years ago. The miracle doctor sect invited him many times, but he couldn’t be bothered to go. He only taught in the school.” Potion Maker Yun pointed at the person beside him. “Old Ming… Old Ming… where are you looking at?”
