Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 263: Su Huiqing Was Depressed

Dugu Xing quickly took over the guard’s cell phone.

Her hands were trembling.

It was already strange enough to open a potion shop, but the strangest things were the Ye Family’s attitude and so many people coming.

At this moment—not only Dugu Xing, even Dugu Heng was shocked. Could Su Huiqing know a senior potion maker?

Dugu Heng couldn’t help but stand up.

However, before he left…

He turned back to look at Dugu Xing, his eyes slightly cold. “I don’t know yet. The guard just returned. Why are you so sure that Qingqing is humiliating the Dugu Family?”

Dugu Xing’s face turned pale.

She was about to speak, but Dugu Heng didn’t give her a chance. With a cold face, he spoke with authority. “She is suspected of framing Missy and even bribed the media to slander the Dugu Family.

“According to the family rules, thirty whips. Don’t quibble. If I ask, the evidence will be returned to you. Dugu Xing, go to the ancestral hall to receive your punishment.”

With that, he left in a hurry without even giving the second elder any face.

Dugu Xing’s beautiful face slowly turned pale.

“Do you know that the family head hired Mr. Feng for Su Huiqing?” The second chief turned to Dugu Xing with a grave expression.

Dugu Xing turned her head in a daze. “Second elder, am I going to the ancestral hall to receive my punishment?”

After going to the ancestral hall to receive the punishment, this matter was quickly known to the people in the International Association. Usually, those who did not commit a major crime would not be punished in the ancestral hall.

Dugu Heng’s words made Dugu Xing’s status in the Dugu Family plummet.

The second elder glanced at her and said earnestly, “This Su Huiqing is indeed not simple! I saw that she came prepared this time and looked at the people from the Dugu Family. In the beginning, everyone looked down on her.

“However, she managed to win the hearts of a small group of people with a bloodline test. In the competition—not to mention the Dugu Family, even many people from the International Association know her!

“Now, in this potion shop, we think that she doesn’t even know anyone. However, she can even command Bai Yi’s subordinates!

“Xing’er, it’s not the time to punish her. You have to be careful. She must have come back for the Dugu Family. Don’t go against her head-on. You can’t win against her vicious thoughts.”

Dugu Xing stood rooted to the ground.

The second elder sighed. “Mr. Feng’s class is coming soon. She’s just an ordinary person now, but she already controls people to death. Don’t let her cultivate spirit energy. Otherwise, even I can’t do anything about it.”

Dugu Xing raised her head in confusion. “But there’s still Master Yu. I thought that Master Yu would despise her after this. But now, Master Yu is still standing behind her. I…”

“Master Yu?” The two elders raised their eyebrows in disdain. “You don’t have to worry about that. Who is Master Yu? Why would he fall for an ordinary person? As long as she remains like this, Master Yu will despise her sooner or later.”

Dugu Xing finally relaxed and walked towards the ancestral hall to receive the punishment.

…

When Su Huiqing returned to the Su Residences, the guards in the courtyard eagerly rushed over. They obviously knew that she would be home in the afternoon.

Even the Ye Family members were in awe of Missy’s potion shop. They heard that there were high-level potions at the scene, and half of the entire International Association was here.

“Missy, you are really impressive today. I heard that Miss Xing received thirty whips at the ancestral hall in the afternoon and was carried back by someone!” Someone went up and passed Su Huiqing a cup of tea.

Su Huiqing sipped her tea and narrowed her eyes. “I won’t bother with her anymore.”

With that, she threw a small bottle to the guard.

The guard took it and looked down. It was a pale blue potion. He widened his eyes in shock. “Little Missy…”

“A few bottles of potions. I’ll give them to you. Take care of this courtyard well these few days.” Su Huiqing waved her hand.

The guards stared at the potion in their hands in disbelief. These were all potions rarely obtained by the direct descendants of the Dugu Family. How did it end up in their hands?

Initially, these guards were very plaintive when they were assigned to this courtyard. They knew that Su Huiqing and Su Ruohua were both ordinary people. It was impossible for them to be promoted in this courtyard.

Right now, after a few consecutive incidents, they suddenly felt extremely fortunate. How many lives did they have to cultivate their fortune to actually come to Su Huiqing’s courtyard!

The people from the Dugu Family’s various factions also sent over a huge gift. Those who didn’t think highly of Su Huiqing initially immediately sent someone to give her a gift after hearing the news.

“Previously, these people acted as if they were looking at a useless piece of trash. Now, all those smelly and fragrant people have come over.” The butler had been helping Su Huiqing collect her gifts for the past few days.

As he accepted the gifts, he sighed. “Oh, right, Missy, the head of the family said that he has already invited Mr. Feng to meet you in the afternoon.”

“Mr. Feng?” Su Huiqing raised her head and looked at the butler with a questioning gaze.

She recalled that after the competition that day, Dugu Heng had indeed said that he wanted to find her a teacher.

“That’s right. Mr. Feng is the best teacher in the entire International Association other than Principal Dien. This time, it’s also for the sake of the head of the family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come.”

The butler smiled. “However… other than you, there are a few outstanding disciples in the family who might also go. It should be for the competition.”

Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes. She had never heard of this Mr. Feng before. It seemed like she did not know many of these families.

…

In the afternoon, Mr. Feng arrived. The Dugu Family had specially set up a place to conduct lessons for the younger generation.

Su Huiqing walked slowly into the classroom.

It was two o’clock in the afternoon. This was her usual style. However, when she went over, she realized that there were already about five or six people inside.

Dugu Xing was also there. However, there was something wrong with her sitting posture. Her injuries were probably not healed yet.

Su Huiqing raised her brows and placed her phone on the table. She picked up an empty seat and sat on it.

Just as she entered, the white-haired Mr. Feng entered as well.

Mr. Feng looked ethereal, and even his brows were dyed white.

The moment he entered, he looked at Su Huiqing indifferently before retracting his gaze. “Ever since you guys arrived, I have been sitting behind the screen and observing each of you.

“I noticed that some of you are not sincere in your studies and are even late for your first apprenticeship.”

Everyone in the room couldn’t help looking at Su Huiqing. They didn’t know what to think.

Su Huiqing reached out and tapped the table. Her brows were also furrowed. She was just stepping on something. Was she wrong?

However, no matter who the person was, she didn’t look away. She just curled her lips and propped her chin up, ignoring everyone’s gazes.

“I believe the Dugu Family Head has already told you that I will not accept all of you.” Mr. Feng said calmly, “Now, recite the Dugu Family’s books. If I am satisfied, I will accept you as my disciple.”

These people had come into contact with ancient books since they were young so they naturally spoke.

Especially when it came to Dugu Xing. Her back was smooth, even talking about the obscure bottlenecks of ordinary people.

Mr. Feng stroked his beard and said three words in satisfaction.

He then turned to look at Su Huiqing. “You.”

Su Huiqing was initially thinking about the use of reciting books. When she saw him pointing at her, she was stunned.

Wait, ancient books? She didn’t even see them before, did she?

Carrying it out?

“You won’t?” Mr. Feng thought about the Dugu Family Head’s instructions and gave her a once-over.

Su Huiqing flipped her phone over and said very naturally, “I don’t know how.”

Mr. Feng’s hand froze, but at this moment, his expression had already turned grim. He said, “Remember this.”

Su Huiqing was very honest. She said no more.

This time, Mr. Feng was so angry that his tone was full of disgust. “You can’t even memorize the books in our family, and you still want me to teach you?! You are really from the Dugu Family. Even Miss Xing and the rest are inferior!

“Forget it, I can’t teach such an excellent student. Please leave!”

Seeing the look of disgust on Mr. Feng’s face, Dugu Xing couldn’t help but smile. Su Huiqing, people have been spreading rumors that your potion shop is better than mine these few days. Right now, you are definitely not as good as me, right?
