Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 289: Dugu Xing’s Fear

Who didn’t want to be the head of the Dugu Family?

However, Missy didn’t seem like someone who would want to be the head of the Dugu Family.

The first elder knew that there were many outstanding young disciples in the Dugu Family, but only a few were suitable to be the head of the family. Dugu Xing was too self-centered, Dugu Ji-An was immersed in his cultivation, and the rest were mostly brave and incompetent.

From these young disciples, it could be seen that these families in the International Association were gradually declining.

On the other hand, it was Su Huiqing who quietly made the majority lean towards her. The people behind her were even more loyal. She was a natural-born general.

If such a person was the head of the Dugu Family, it would be a blessing for the Dugu Family!

“First Elder, the outer hall warden just reported that many people from the International Association are calling to look for Missy. Most of them are from noble families.” At this moment, a guard rushed over.

The first elder was stunned. He then realized that these must be the people who wanted to befriend Su Huiqing.

Thinking about Su Huiqing’s personality, he shook his head and said to the guard, “Tell them that Missy is not meeting any guests now.”

The guard nodded before leaving.

Seeing him leave, the fifth elder remained silent.

After the first elder finished speaking, he turned to look at the fifth elder and said, somewhat disappointed, “Alright, you can leave now.”

…

The atmosphere at the second elder’s residence was so low that there wasn’t even a single gasp.

Dugu Xing stood in front of him with an unhappy expression.

It was no longer Dugu Xing who had lost power alone, but the second elder faction who supported her had suffered a huge blow.

Who would have thought that the potion shop that Su Huiqing opened had already given her a very high status in the family? She further solidified it by helping two people break through.

The second elder and the rest were all hoping that Su Huiqing would seek her own death. It would be best if the entire Dugu Family was disappointed in her.

Who would have thought that not only did he not make her fall, but he even made her stand out!

The fifth elder slowly walked towards the second elder. He looked at Dugu Xing and suddenly recalled what happened a few days ago. “Xing’er, a few days ago, did you know Prince Ling Jun and Miss Su?”

Miss Su was referring to Su Chen.

Dugu Xing knew what the fifth elder meant. She hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.

“Really?” The fifth elder was a little surprised. “It’s said that that person from Unknown Island is a loner and doesn’t care about anyone’s face. In the past few days, many people have come back to meet her, but most of them have been rejected by her.

“I didn’t expect you to be acquainted with her. There is going to be a new war in the International Association. It would be a good thing for the Dugu Family if you could have an ally like Unknown Island!”

The fifth elder felt that it was a lie to say that he didn’t regret it. How heaven-defying was it for someone to go from the first level to the third?

The Dugu Family had such an opportunity to become a genius.

However, the fifth elder was curious as to why an ordinary person suddenly had such capabilities.

More importantly, he had doubts about Su Huiqing’s identity. He was afraid that she would harbor ill intentions towards the Dugu Family so he refused to agree to the first elder and Dugu Heng’s request.

Only now did he hear Dugu Xing’s words and comfort himself that his decision was correct.

In terms of who had the greatest influence in the International Association, only the two kings could compete with them.

Even if Su Huiqing really had something outstanding in the end, he could just invite her back.

The fifth elder gave Dugu Xing a few more instructions before leaving.

“Did you hear what the fifth elder said?” After seeing the fifth elder’s back view disappear in front of him, the second elder looked at Dugu Xing and said in a low voice, “You need to befriend that person from the Unknown Island.

“You can find a gift for the Eldest Young Mistress next time. She must have never seen anything good in a place like that. It would be best if we could turn the tables.”

“You want me to bow down to her?” Dugu Xing immediately declined. Su Huiqing had humiliated her so badly. How could she be willing to lower her head? “She is so arrogant now. Does she still think that she is a savior? If she continues to be so arrogant, she will eventually fall to her death!”

The second elder wanted to say something. However, thinking that Dugu Xing knew Su Chen, he swallowed her words.

Dugu Xing recalled Su Chen and calmed down. She tried to contact Su Chen, but when she reached the other end of the phone, she was rejected again and again. The reason was not the same every time.

How could Dugu Xing not know that Su Chen could dodge her?

“Call her again!” She glared at the maid beside her.

The maid held her phone. “Missy, don’t worry. Perhaps that master has something on. Let’s try again tomorrow. She will answer the call eventually.”

“Continue!” Dugu Xing shouted coldly.

Her face was still gloomy. She knew that Su Chen would not meet her so easily.

However, no matter how calm Dugu Xing was, even the second elder was shaken. If she continued to be arrogant, her position would be pushed down by Su Huiqing!

Then again, when it came to Su Chen and Su Huiqing, she hated Su Huiqing even more. She didn’t believe that Su Huiqing could still be so arrogant when she was at odds with the people from Unknown Island!
