“I don’t know why you chose to return to the Dugu Family at this time, but I have to tell you something. This Dugu Shuang is not as simple as she looks.” Teacher Ming picked up his teacup and looked slightly serious. “Old Yun and I are old friends. He accepted Dugu Shuang two years ago. He said that Dugu Shuang is extremely talented, but—no, Old Yun swore a long time ago that he would never accept another disciple in his life.
“This matter is not simple. Student Su, I only have one request. When Dugu Ling and the rest beg you to save Madam Dugu, don’t reject them.”
Leave some leeway so that they could meet again in the future.
Su Huiqing was already lost in her thoughts when Teacher Ming said that Potion Maker Yun would never accept another disciple in this lifetime.
Teacher Ming spoke for a long time and saw that Su Huiqing was still chewing on the leaf in a daze. He could not help but smack the table. “Are you even listening to me?”
“Yes, yes, yes, I heard it! Teacher, sorry.” Su Huiqing’s face was full of sincerity.
Teacher Ming was finally satisfied.
At this moment, Xiao Ba rushed in. “Missy, Sir Dugu is here!”
He was referring to Dugu Ling.
Dugu Ling came not because of anything else but in hopes that Su Huiqing would save Madam Dugu… because Teacher Ming said so.
Upon hearing this, Su Huiqing had just stood up. She then just smiled. “Sorry, Uncle Dugu. I have already saved Madam Dugu once. I can’t save your wife this time. Please leave.”
Teacher Ming initially thought that Su Huiqing would definitely save Madam Dugu if she agreed. He never expected her to say such words.
He choked on his tea before he could swallow it.
“Teacher, drink slowly.” Su Huiqing patted Teacher Ming’s back good-naturedly. She then smiled at Dugu Ling. “Uncle Dugu, my teacher is too agitated.”
Dugu Ling knew that Su Huiqing probably didn’t agree so he just took out his phone and smiled at Su Huiqing. “Then, you have to listen to your dad, right?”
He especially turned on the speaker. “Dugu Heng, Miss Su is alone in our Dugu Family now. My wife happens to have some illness, and I want her to take a look. Don’t worry, she definitely won’t look at it for nothing. I will give you that piece of land from last time. How about that?”
Dugu Ling waited quietly for Dugu Heng to agree.
He was very confident about this. He could not bear to part with that piece of land, but who knew that—if he gave it away now—he would have something else in return?
Su Huiqing was just looking at an illness.
He believed that, as long as Dugu Heng had some intelligence, the man would not refuse.
Unexpectedly, the person on the other end of the phone scolded him. “What do you mean my daughter is alone in the Dugu Family? Are you bullying her?! Do you still want to force her to treat someone whom my daughter doesn’t wish to treat? Let me tell you, Dugu Ling, I will rush back now. Before I return, if any of you dare to touch my daughter, I will make all of you uneasy!”
Without giving Dugu Ling a chance to speak, he hung up.
Xiao Ba’s eyes widened. He never expected Dugu Heng, who was usually calm and decisive, to be so crazy over Su Huiqing’s matter.
Although no one knew what Dugu Heng was doing just now, everyone knew that Dugu Heng had flown back after receiving this call.
No one expected this except Su Huiqing.
