Teacher Ming retracted his gaze. “Nothing. I just saw a familiar figure.”
He muttered. It couldn’t be such a coincidence, right?
If Su Huiqing was still here, she would definitely realize that this Teacher Ming was the potion teacher in school.
“Then, you must have seen wrongly.” Potion Maker Yun shook his head. “You haven’t left the school for so many years. Is there anyone in the Dugu Family that you know?”
Teacher Ming glanced at the potion teacher and remained silent.
He thought to herself that he really knew someone from the Dugu Family.
“Let’s not talk anymore. I’ll bring you to see this girl’s mother.” Potion Master Yun pointed at Dugu Shuang. “This girl is a student I accepted two years ago. Her talent is not inferior to that Luo girl!”
Dugu Shuang immediately bowed cautiously at Teacher Ming. “Teacher Ming.”
Now, other than Su Huiqing, Teacher Ming felt that there was no other genius who could surprise him. He only said, “It’s alright. Bring me to take a look.”
“What do you mean okay?” Potion Maker Yun had always been proud of this disciple. Seeing that Teacher Ming was so calm, he was momentarily unhappy. “Tell me clearly, how can this disciple of mine be inferior to that Luo girl? You are looking down on me!”
“Looking down on others?” Teacher Ming glanced at Potion Maker Yun mildly. “Let me tell you, the person I met—in terms of pharmaceutics, even ten of me can’t compare to her. You don’t think your disciple can compare to me.”
Upon hearing this, Potion Maker Yun was stunned. He knew that Teacher Ming had always been very serious about potions and never boasted.
He must be serious now. However, even ten Teacher Ming could not compare to that person. How monstrous was that person? “Who is that person you are talking about? Do I know them?”
Teacher Ming glanced at him. “You don’t know?”
“Would I ask you if I knew?” Potion Maker Yun sneered.
Teacher Ming glanced at him and remained silent.
The first elder and the rest looked at each other in shock. He turned to ask Dugu Shuang, “A genius ten times more powerful than Teacher Ming. Missy, have you heard of them?”
Dugu Shuang shook her head. “No.”
The first elder and the rest looked away regretfully.
“This is my disciple’s mother.” Potion Maker Yun brought Teacher Ming to Dugu Shuang’s courtyard. “Look, what happened? I don’t understand.”
Teacher Ming nodded. He took Madam Dugu’s pulse and closed his eyes.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and frowned.
Upon seeing his words, Potion Maker Yun knew what he wanted to say.
“Let’s go and see Old Master.” Potion Maker Yun stood up and said in a deep voice.
The group rushed to the Elder Cabinet again. Potion Maker Yun checked it first and frowned.
Teacher Ming went to investigate again.
Everyone in the room held their breaths and looked at Teacher Ming, waiting for his answer.
“Old Master’s condition is a little dangerous.” Teacher Ming frowned. “His internal organs are a little complicated. Old Yun, have you noticed that his blood circulation is a little slow?”
Teacher Ming had a high status in the eyes of Potion Maker Yun. Seeing that even Teacher Ming said so, Potion Maker Yun’s expression turned serious. “Old Ming, what should we do now?”
It had been a few years since they last met, and Potion Maker Yun thought that he had grown fast enough. Unexpectedly, he still didn’t know the string of names that Old Ming said.
He had learned this from Su Huiqing and Yu Xiangyang on a daily basis. However, Teacher Ming obviously would not explain this to him.
“Did anything major happen to your Dugu Family recently?” Teacher Ming asked instead of answering.
He remembered that, no matter where Su Huiqing was, she would not be calm.
However, along the way, the Dugu Family didn’t speak of Su Huiqing’s name.
He wondered if Dugu Ji-An was lying to him.
“No.” The first elder glanced at Teacher Ming, not knowing why he asked this question. “Our Dugu Family has been very peaceful recently.”
Teacher Ming frowned but didn’t say anything. “I need to study it. Do you have a potion room?”
“Of course.” The first elder glanced at Dugu Shuang. “Missy, quickly bring your teacher and Teacher Ming to the potion room.”
Potion Maker Yun glanced at Teacher Ming. Without a word, they followed everyone out.
Everyone in the Dugu Family knew that Missy’s teacher, Potion Maker Yun, was here. They were all very respectful.
Potion Maker Yun was one of the most advanced potion makers overseas. There were less than ten such potion makers overseas. Dugu Shuang’s teacher was one of them. Even the people from the Dugu Family looked at Potion Maker Yun with respect.
Teacher Ming followed behind them. As he walked, he thought about Old Master Dugu’s condition. “This matter is very complicated. Later on…”
He was talking to Potion Maker Yun when he suddenly stopped in his tracks. A familiar figure appeared in front of him, and even his voice stopped.
Potion Maker Yun and the elders could not help but look at him. “Old Ming, what’s the matter?”
Teacher Ming didn’t answer. He just pointed in Su Huiqing’s direction and looked at the first elder with an accusing expression. “Be reasonable. Why did you lie to me?”
