Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 268: Untitled

Not far away, a group of people was walking over.

They were led by a man and a woman. The man was dressed in black, which made his cold face look even more frightening. His deep eyes seemed to be filled with coldness.

The person walking beside him was a woman in her early 20s. If anyone else were to stand beside him, they would be overshadowed by his sharpness. However, this woman was different. Her elegant aura seemed to be stronger than those around her.

Many people were here. Most of them had never seen the two of them before, but it didn’t stop them from looking at the two and then seeing the purple gold symbol.

The chief detective, who followed behind Yu Shijin, had a purple-tinted gold flower tattooed on the collar of his black shirt.

Without further ado, they knew who that man was.

Some young and energetic young men gave way.

They could not accept Dugu Ji-An or Yu Shiyue… but they could not deny Yu Shijin. Rumors about the Yu Family had already spread throughout the International Association.

Especially when the rumored owner of the purple-tinted gold badge appeared in the International Association. This was what shocked everyone the most.

However, no one had seen the woman beside him before.

Su Huiqing didn’t care about the probing gazes of others. She just focused on her own stall.

At this moment, Yu Shiyue and Dugu Xing exchanged glances before coming down.

Other people naturally knew that these two people were extremely popular in the International Association, especially Dugu Xing. She was very good at socializing, and almost everyone could talk to her.

Coupled with the fact that her store was mostly selling these overseas goods, she could say a few words to all the goods at the stalls. Her stock knowledge was extremely profound and had indeed given a lot of help.

Soon, she became the center of attention.

Only when the two of them met Su Huiqing and Yu Shijin did Dugu Xing naturally call Su Huiqing ‘Missy’. That was the only time these people realized Su Huiqing’s identity.

However, their gazes on Su Huiqing were extremely strange.

Although the people here weren’t very familiar with the overseas market, they still had some understanding of it. Especially Dugu Xing, who spoke with confidence and helped many people get some good stuff.

However, when they looked at Su Huiqing, they realized that the stalls she went to were all abandoned goods. There was no harm in comparing them.

Although no one spoke, they could not help but look at Su Huiqing with disdain.

It turned out that the Dugu Family’s Missy was just like this. No wonder she didn’t know anything about this place. How could a Missy, who had just returned home, suddenly know anything?

With that thought, they probably understood.

However, they still didn’t understand why the Dugu Family Head would regard Su Huiqing as Missy.

Su Huiqing just reached out and played with a strange-looking herb in her hand. She turned a deaf ear to everyone’s discussion.

Yu Shijin stood beside her, occasionally picking up one or two items from the stall and looking down.

The corners of his lips were still cold. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the person speaking in a low voice. The coldness in his eyes made that person instantly retract his words.

No matter when they met, he still looked elegant, handsome, and cold.

What Yu Shiyue hated the most was how Yu Shijin behaved. He was clearly a person who had been abandoned by his family since he was young. Why did he suddenly receive the recognition of the Purple-Gold Badge? Why did he become the focus of the entire International Association?

At that thought, the coldness in Yu Shiyue’s eyes intensified. “Young Master, Miss Su, all of you are here.”

He glanced at Su Huiqing indifferently. Apart from disgust, nothing else was in his eyes. Ever since he heard Dugu Xing’s words, he had no feelings for Su Huiqing. No wonder she could persuade Dugu Heng to chase Mr. Feng out. It must be Yu Shijin who helped her, right?

With that thought, he retracted his gaze in disgust, not even bothering to look at Su Huiqing.

Yu Shijin was good in everything, except that his judgment of people was too poor.

“How much is this?” Su Huiqing casually picked up a purple herb and casually asked the stall owner. She completely ignored Yu Shiyue and Dugu Xing.

The owner of the stall was an old man whose face couldn’t be seen. When he saw someone picking up the things he had set up, he didn’t even raise his head. He said calmly, “Five spirit coins.”

That stall looked very rundown compared to the others. It should be the most rundown among these overseas stalls.

Five-spirit coins? Su Huiqing rubbed her chin.

Five-spirit coins was already a huge sum to young disciples her age.

However, before she could say anything, Yu Shijin—who was standing beside her—took out five spirit coins from his pocket and threw the herb into the chief detective’s hands.

The chief detective respectfully held the herbs in his hands as if he was holding a valuable treasure.

Chu Xuning, who was beside him, asked him why he looked as though he was holding his own life root. The chief detective gave him a faint reply. This was something that could not be exchanged for even ten thousand yuan.

Chu Xuning: “…”

What exactly changed the chief detective?

“Master Yu, this herb doesn’t have much value.” Dugu Xing was stunned for a moment when she saw Yu Shijin buy that herb without hesitation. She immediately said, “It looks like a purple jade spirit root, but it’s a rare item overseas. We have it in our store. Two million normal coins…”

Once Dugu Xing spoke, the people around immediately echoed. They looked at Dugu Xing with respect.
