The guard immediately stood up and didn’t care about the injury on his head. He just looked at Su Huiqing. “Missy, quickly save Madam. Master just brought the other guards over. That second hall master…”
When the guard mentioned the second hall master, disgust flashed past his eyes. He didn’t say it very clearly, but Su Huiqing could understand his words.
“So, Grandpa and the rest went to look for Madam?” Su Huiqing asked calmly.
However, he had to ignore her cold eyes.
“No.” The guard shook his head. “Captain Su is the secret guard you sent to Madam. When he realized this, he went to look for the Dugu Family immediately. We couldn’t contact Captain Su Chu, but the Dugu Family Head left a sign. If there’s anything, go to Dugu Island to look for him.”
Upon hearing this, Su Huiqing nodded slightly, but her expression didn’t change.
Her hands were still clenched tightly.
Back then, when she heard that Su Lun was at the miracle doctor’s sect, she had already expected a lot. Since those people wanted to hear news from Su Lun, they must be respectful to him. Su Huiqing didn’t want to alert the enemy, so she didn’t let Chi Yue’s people watch the two of them. If she really let Chi Yue’s people bring Su Lun back and those people didn’t let Su Lun off… she was far away and didn’t have the confidence to ensure the safety of these people.
The most dangerous place was the safest place.
Unexpectedly, she was wrong. Really wrong.
It was her fault. She clearly knew what kind of place overseas was. Su Lun was just an ordinary person. How could she dare to ask these high and mighty cultivators to be respectful to an ordinary person?
Old Master Su was such a proud person. In Su Huiqing’s memories, he was someone who was occasionally arrogant but knew his limits. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have developed the Su Family into such a state.
Unexpectedly, such a person actually knelt down to beg others one day.
Su Huiqing couldn’t imagine it at all.
Her eyes turned bloodshot.
“I really didn’t expect this.” Su Huiqing took a deep breath. “I recovered at Old Master Zhuge’s place for a year. Now, I have to waste Old Master’s good intentions.
“The second hall master, right?” Su Huiqing grabbed the neck of the sect guard beside her and lowered her eyes slightly. Her voice was as cold as ice. “Where does he live?”
“That, that…” How could this guard withstand Su Huiqing’s aura? He only pointed in a direction with a trembling voice.
Su Huiqing walked in that direction.
Her cell phone rang, but she ignored it.
At this moment, only Chi Yue sent her a message. He wanted to ask when Su Huiqing would be back, but she didn’t pick up the phone. It made him feel a little strange, but he didn’t think too much about it.
She just tilted her head. “Send a message to that person from the Dugu Family. We will participate in this year’s annual meeting.”
Su Huiqing’s return was also the time for them to be reborn. Since those people from the Dugu Family wanted to see them make a fool of themselves, they would let those people enjoy it.
Upon hearing Chi Yue’s reply, the Dugu Family’s hall master—who was in charge of these matters—felt a little strange. “It’s strange this year. Miss Su actually wants to participate in the annual meeting. Doesn’t she know that Miss Shuang’er has already collaborated with the miracle doctor’s sect? Her island already has 100,000 spirit coins.”
The person beside him felt a little pity. “It’s a pity. If we didn’t choose a wasteland, we might be able to compete with Miss Shuang’er.”
Only Steward Dugu looked at the two of them meaningfully and didn’t say a word.
As the other person spoke, someone came in. “Two hall masters, someone just called the Dugu Family’s private line and said that he wanted someone to save Madam Su. That person has Young Master Heng’s badge. Should we care?”
“There’s such a thing?” One of the hall masters was somewhat surprised.
“Yes.” That person nodded and hesitated for a moment before continuing. “Moreover… I heard that that person is Miss Su’s mother. She is currently at the miracle doctor’s sect. I heard from him that she seems to be related to the second hall master of the miracle doctor’s sect.”
“Second Hall Master?” The manager immediately waved his hand. “Don’t bother about this matter. This second hall master is the partner of Miss Shuang’er recently. Pretend that you didn’t receive that call.”
If it was a year ago, he might have hesitated.
However, it was different now. So what if that Madam Su was really related to Su Huiqing? It had been a year. Su Huiqing’s wasteland had no resources. She must have ordinary subordinates.
A lot could change in a year. It could be seen from Dugu Shuang that because her island had many resources and she was a potion maker, almost everyone on the island was a cultivator and stood out in the Dugu Family.
As for Su Huiqing… she didn’t come to the annual meeting last year. Moreover, he didn’t hear any news about her this year. She should know her place.
Although they didn’t know why she came back to participate this year, one of them had a bright future while the other had a bumpy one. Thus, the difference was obvious.
“Alright.” The messenger was not surprised by this. Not to mention Su Huiqing, now that Dugu Heng had gone to the training base, who would take this matter seriously?
