After speaking, the first elder started to leave.

But the girl beside him suddenly stopped and glanced at him. He said calmly. "First Elder."

The First Elder was astonished.

It was a very soft sound but it had a sharpness that could not be ignored. That pretty face also somehow looked a little crooked.

Su Huiqing did not wait for the first Elder to respond but simply took out his earphones again. He put one in his ear as he threw his face away. "You better appreciate the next two hours."

What does he mean by that? The First Elder was clearly shocked.

But Su Huiqing did not say anything more. He simply put on the other earphones, before casually following Dugu Heng out.

Their group walked on, with guards following far behind them.

Dugu Heng patted Su Huiqing on the shoulder, his eyes shining. “Not bad, not bad. You are truly my son.”

Su Huiqing was surprised by his clap. He said calmly, "Damn, I'll be punished if I'm like you."

His tone was very what it was.

“Who would you rather be like? You underestimated your parents ?! ” Dugu Heng turned around to stare at his indifferent face. He can't say what he's thinking.

“You brought us back, but in the end, I was the one who solved the problem.” Su Huiqing stuffed his hand into his pocket and raised his eyebrows. "Don't you think you're a little useless?"

His expression was even more arrogant than Dugu Heng. Only he dared to say such a thing.

This was the first time in Dugu Heng's life that he heard someone say he was useless.

Even the guard was completely stunned by his words.

Su Huiqing shifted his gaze. "But you are willing to protect my mother and me. That's pretty good."

"of course. Who else should I protect? Those elders?” Dugu Heng immediately replied.

Remembering something, he continued. “There is an auction the day after tomorrow at the International Association. I'll take you two to see if there's anything worth buying.”

Su Huiqing nodded and lowered his head while thinking.

The corner of his lips curved indifferently.

Under the sunlight, that beautiful face looked clear and pure.

Dugu Heng never knew that Su Huiqing ended up admitting it just because of what he had just said.

He refused Dugu Heng's invitation for him to stay.

Instead, he returned to the Su Family residence, and remained in his small laboratory for almost an entire day.

Uncle Chen saw that Su Huiqing had not eaten for most of the day. Unable to tolerate it anymore, he climbed up and was about to knock on the door, when it had just opened.

Su Huiqing stood there still wearing his white shirt and dark jeans. He had a serious expression.

Even Uncle Chen could see how tired he was.

Su Huiqing combed his hair back and looked at Uncle Chen. He said very simply, "I'm hungry."

He's really hungry.

After spending most of the day concocting potions, he had expended a lot of energy. At this moment, even walking was a task.

It was rare to see Su Huiqing in such a state.

Uncle Chen's heart ached for him, but was also relieved to see him appear. “The food is ready. You can eat immediately after taking a shower. ”

Su Huiqing did not immediately go down after taking a shower. Instead, he opened his laptop and sent Dugu Yusheng a message: Come later. I have some potions for you that I need your help to auction off.

He got this idea after Dugu Heng mentioned the auction.

He wanted to arm the entire Unknown Island and the people of the Su Family.

All of this will require money. And in the International Association, no one made more money than selling potions.

Dugu Yusheng was surprised by his message. His eyes became dark. He knew how precious the potion that Su Huiqing had personally made was.

He typed in a reply: You want to fight the Ye Family?

Su Huiqing did not sit on the chair, but stood with one hand propped up to the table and the other hand resting on the keyboard. His eyes glittered coldly. “I only need money.”

His eyes lowered, the corners of his lips slightly curved.

He used to know Ye Bin. He had been very helpful in enlightening him about the potion. Ye Bin approached the level of an elite potion maker and had good character as well. But he has a weakness. He has bad taste.

Otherwise, how would he end up choosing a bad descendant like the current head of the Ye Family?

He is always good at distinguishing between those who are good to him, and those who make mistakes to him. He would take direct revenge on anyone who hurt his mother.

Dugu Yusheng replied: Okay.

He closed his laptop.

Downstairs, Uncle Chen just picked up the phone.

From the corner of his eyes, Uncle Chen saw that cool figure coming down the stairs. He said, “Ms. Su, this is the Dugu Family. Some Elders. He's been calling since yesterday. Do you want to take his call? ”

Su Huiqing sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of water. He received the call casually, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he asked, "First Elder, how are you feeling?" It was as if he already knew who was calling.

Hearing his calm voice, the other party fell silent for a long time.

Su Huiqing was in no hurry. He just leaned back on the sofa and slowly sipped the water.

In fact, on the other end of the phone, the condition of the first Elder was not good at all. In just a day, his face became extremely pale and livid.

Hearing Su Huiqing's calm voice, he tightened his grip on the phone as his eyes hardened. "This is what you're doing ?!"

"Do you think I have the ability to make your bowels rot in a year?" Su Huiqing put down his cup and combed his hair back, his face as calm as ever. "Have you forgotten I'm just a useless bastard with an impure bloodline?"

"You ... how do you know?" The First Elder looked like he had just seen a ghost.

It's very secret. Only a few people in the Dugu Family knew about it.

Su Huiqing ignored his question and simply narrowed his eyes. “You brought needles, right? Jianli, Jiaosun, Heding. insert needles into all these acupuncture points. Leave the needle on for 10 minutes before removing it.

"What do you mean?" The First Elder was so stunned at this point that he forgot to ask how Su Huiqing knew he was carrying a needle.

Su Huiqing saw that the food had already been laid out and replied casually. "You still have half a day."

With that, he hung up.

The First Elder was drenched in cold sweat. He didn't know if it was because of pain or fear.

He could not help but recall Su Huiqing's words that day: "You better appreciate the next two hours."

She thought Su Huiqing was just trying to scare her. But two hours later, his body was completely crushed by the pain. The hospital did not know what was wrong, and even the potion maker was helpless. He tried to use his own internal energy to heal himself, but to no avail.

At this point, he finally thought of Su Huiqing but his phone had been dead all day. He's not home either.

Now he finally managed to contact her .. that tone of voice .. he did know the situation!

He still has half a day? What does that mean?!

The First Elder stared at the cold glittering silver needle on the table. After a moment of silence, he steeled himself and inserted the needle into the acupuncture point that Su Huiqing mentioned.

His mind blurred as he inserted the needle. He felt that he must have gone mad.

An hour later.

The First Elder opened his eyes and looked at his own hands in a daze. His eyes had restored his usual brightness.

"First Elder, Young Master Ji-An has returned." Someone is knocking on his door.

The First Elder came to a realization from his trance, putting aside the matter with Su Huiqing for the time being. He immediately put on a gray robe and came out.

Almost everyone from the younger generation gathered in the ancestral hall.

At this moment, even Dugu Xing looked like he was losing his light. Only that person was still standing there, ready and upright, wearing a green robe instead of modern clothes.

Hearing the arrival of the first Elder, he slowly turned around, revealing his handsome and flawless face. Smiling cheerfully, he cupped his fists at the first elder as a greeting. "First Elder."

“I think you still have a few more days? Why are you out now?” The First Elder could hardly believe Dugu Ji-An was actually here.

"Mr Dugu said there was an auction, so I came back early." Dugu Ji-An smiled.

The First Elder nodded. "How's it going in there?"

Dugu Ji-An's expression became firm as she replied, "It is far beyond our imagination."

Dugu Xing and the others did not understand what they were talking about. But seeing how serious they were, they did not dare to cut.

"It's good to be back." The First Elder was silent for a moment before continuing. “It's still morning. Take them to Principal Dien. The upcoming competition is very important. You all participated for the first time. Principal Dien can give you a lot of good pointers.”

Dugu Ji-An doesn't mind and takes them away.

As he reached outside the door, he met the guards, who were waiting for them. The guard smiled at Dugu Ji-An. “Young Master Ji-An, Mr. Dugu has asked you to bring Eldest Young Madam. Here's his phone number.”

The guard read out the cell phone number.

"First Young Lady?" Dugu Ji-An raised her eyebrows in surprise.

One of the juniors spoke up. “Young Master Ji-An, she is the illegitimate daughter of the Dugu Family Head. He was almost 20 years old but had no inner strength. But the head still wanted Ms Xing to hand over her place at the training ground to him. Really sucks! Ask Jiyun if you don't believe me.”

Su Huiqing's calm face flashed across Dugu Jiyun's mind. He nodded after hesitating for a moment, but did not speak.

“Young Master Ji-An, she has no pure bloodline and has never practiced before. Dangerous and a waste of resources to send him there.” Dugu Xing smirked. “People like us, no matter how hard we work, we still can't compare to someone with good parents.”.

Dugu Xing's heart surged as he saw Dugu Ji-An frowning at him. He didn't finish his sentence.

It is better that he does not continue.

Others might not realize it but Dugu Xing knew very well that Dugu Ji-An's background was not that simple.

Every year, Dugu Ji-An has to go for 10 months. Is there anywhere else in the world better for training than the International Association?

This sparked Dugu Xing's curiosity. Especially when he accidentally observes one day that Dugu Ji-An and the other three greats are sitting together as equals.

Other than Dugu Heng, no one in the Dugu Family dared to show any disrespect to Dugu Ji-An.

"Master Dugu has his own reasons." Dugu Ji-An pulled out her phone and dialed the number the guard had just read.

Even though he didn't say it, he couldn't help but frown at what those juniors had just said to him.

Allowing someone without inner strength to the training ground? Is the head of the family so unreasonable?

Realizing that the group still looked very sad, he said calmly. "Don't worry, I'll talk to the head of the family if things get out of hand."

Dugu Xing smiled wretchedly. "Thank you, Young Master Ji-An."

But his lower eyes shone with joy. Almost everyone from the younger generation now stood behind him. Dugu Ji-An was also by his side. He also has incredible true skills.

Su Huiqing, you may be the daughter of Dugu Heng and got her unwavering support—but there are still some ravines that you will never cross.

The Dugu family only respected power. The more the head of the family likes you, the less support will be received from the community.

Did they really think he would not understand the motive of the head of the family bringing Su Huiqing to see Principal Dien?

The call was only picked up after a few rings.

Dugu Ji-An sat in the car with the driver while bringing the phone to her ear. The weather today is rather bleak. There was not much sunlight and the sky was gray. Looks like it's going to rain.

As Dugu Ji-An pondered, a voice suddenly sounded from the phone.

The voice was cold and clear, with a hint of pent-up anger. "What?"

Dugu Ji-An was a bit surprised.

But then he just lowered his head and politely conveyed Dugu Heng's message.

Su Huiqing was silent for a moment, before massaging his temple as he got off the bed.

He pulled out a jacket from the closet and said calmly, "Wait for me at the International Association Airport."
