Upon hearing this, the expression of anticipation on the seventh elder's face immediately disappeared. He then sighed. “I think too much. It was only then that the Dugu Family could produce Dugu Heng and Dugu Ji-An. How can there be a third? The next group of disciples would enter the core bureau. Take Missy to the rooms of the people who have been selected before at the foot of the mountain to rest. Let him enter after the selection competition starts.”
The old man said nothing more and just nodded.
Dugu Ji-An frowned at this arrangement. However, he did not feel that the Cabinet Elder was specifically targeting Su Huiqing. Therefore, he turned around and said to Su Huiqing, “Dugu Family Rules are like this. Back then, when me and the head of the Dugu Family came, we also stayed at the foot of the mountain for a few days. During the selection competition, no one was allowed to enter. However, according to the power of Missy.”.
"All right, that's it." Su Huiqing waved at him. “This is where the girls live. Quickly and go.”
Su Huiqing stayed on the second floor, for the girls who came to participate in the competition.
There are not many people on the second floor. Other than Su Huiqing, there were five other girls. Su Huiqing suspected there were more boys here.
Su Huiqing had seen one of these five people before. He looked very simple and had average talent. He was at the third level and was right beside Su Huiqing.
He saw that Su Huiqing was unknown and had an unknown name. Thinking that Su Huiqing should be a child like him who came to the Dugu Family from a remote place, he immediately hugged Su Huiqing.
He heard that four other girls came on the first day. All of them were people related to the Dugu Family. One of them had a father who was the head of the Dugu Family, the other had a grandfather who was the guardian manager of the Dugu Family, and the other had worked for the Dugu Family for generations.
The latter has the greatest background. His grandfather was the highest-ranking elder in the Cabinet of Elders, and his father was one of the future heads of the next Dugu Family.
Such a background was incredible even in the entire Dugu Family, not to mention in this small building.
"Are you not curious?" After the girl beside him said that, he saw that Su Huiqing did not look curious at all. He could not help feeling strange. He felt that this girl in front of him had an indescribable strange feeling, but he did not know what was strange.
“I'm more curious why there is no wireless internet here.” Su Huiqing sighed.
After she said that, the girl beside her — known as Lu Zhenzhen — fell silent. “Su Huiqing, where did this weirdo like you come from? Our island is a bit remote. The people from the Cabinet of Elders also want to prevent us from being addicted to the internet. Therefore, only the middle of the Elder Cabinet has a wireless network.”
Su Huiqing: "..."
He lowered his head and sent a message to Chi Yue.
Among the five people on the second floor of — besides Su Huiqing and Lu Zhenzhen, the others seemed to be trying their best to understand the last moments and rarely left the house.
Only when Dugu Shuang came did the people on the second floor seem alive. Even Lu Zhenzhen knew him, not to mention the others on the second floor.
Dugu Shuang has only just returned because the selection competition will start tomorrow. He did not care about the others on the second floor until he saw Su Huiqing. He's stopped. "This woman looks so foreign."
Dugu Shuang had been praised since she was young. This was the first time he had seen someone not inferior to him in terms of appearance and aura.
He had a strong feeling that this person in front of him was a huge threat.
"Su Huiqing." Su Huiqing glanced at her gently before reporting her name and returning to her room.
After hearing Su Huiqing's name, Dugu Shuang sighed in relief. He was neither familiar nor from the Dugu Family.
Su Huiqing returned to his room and pulled out his phone to play the game.
Lu Zhenzhen followed and was not surprised. He said in exaggeration, “That's Dugu Shuang. You are actually very arrogant towards him.”.
Before he could finish his sentence, Su Huiqing massaged his temple. “There is wireless internet in the room. The password is eight zero.”
Lu Zhenzhen pulled out her phone and saw that there was indeed a new wireless Internet. He entered the password and realized that this password could indeed be entered. "Miss Su, where did you get wireless Internet?"
He looked at Su Huiqing in shock.
“Let's play the game correctly. Isn't that nice?” Su Huiqing looked up.
This time, Lu Zhenzhen did not speak anymore. He simply looked at Su Huiqing with growing curiosity. At first, his view of Su Huiqing was very simple. He thought that he was just a child who came to the Dugu Family with his abilities. After all, he was the only one in his entire family who managed to enter the Dugu Family.
However, now, he had secretly installed wireless Internet in his room. How'd he do it?
…
The core of the Dugu Family…
Dugu Zhuo glanced at his daughter and slightly shook his head. “I didn't expect Dugu Heng to have another child besides Dugu Ji-An. However, this princess was not as ambitious as Dugu Ji-An. He immediately asked someone to install Internet.”
Madam Dugu placed the teacup on the table and smiled. “Since Su Huiqing knows you, Shuang'er, let's see tomorrow. Didn't your elder brother from the Hua Family live on the island? Very good, Su Huiqing got the benefit.”
Dugu Shuang stood up with an indifferent expression. "Anything. I will prepare myself for the selection competition tomorrow.”
He was originally still a little afraid of the rumored Dugu Heng princess. After all, Dugu Heng was indeed terrifying. He initially thought that his daughter was not simple either. However, he did not expect, when Su Huiqing actually came, he would then feel that he had overestimated this princess.
Su Huiqing was even worse than one of his bodyguards.

The next day, he brought Hua Guangwen to meet Su Huiqing.
“You must be little daughter of brother Heng. You are very pretty.” Madam Dugu looked at Su Huiqing with a smile. “I heard from the elders that you are also 20 years old. You're the same age as our Shuang'er. Guangwen, this is Uncle Dugu Heng's daughter. Come and get to know him.”
Hua Guangwen glanced at Su Huiqing and frowned.
However, Madame Dugu did not seem to notice it. “I'll go next door to see Shuang'er. You young people are chatting well.
After Madam Dugu left, the smile on Hua Guangxuan's face disappeared. He only glanced at Su Huiqing coldly. “I'm sure you know what Aunt Dugu means. Even though you are the daughter of the Dugu Family Head, I have no such thoughts towards you. Do you understand?"
With a talented person like Dugu Shuang in front of him, it was extremely difficult for him to think of another girl.
Only then did Su Huiqing realize that Madam Dugu had such intentions.
He was silent for a moment. "Didn't I say that I already have a boyfriend?"
Her silence made Hua Guangwen think that she was sad. The last sentence is more like an excuse. He frowned. “You don't have to be sad. Don't compare yourself to my sister. She was already amazing when she was with Teacher .. ”
Seeing Su Huiqing looking at him expressionlessly—for some reason, Hua Guangwen did not dare to look him in the eye. Therefore, he fled.
After Hua Guangwen left, Dugu Ji-An came looking for Su Huiqing.
Two people of extraordinary status came looking for Su Huiqing, especially Dugu Ji-An. She was accompanied by the upper echelon of the Dugu Family, which shocked the other girls on the second floor.
"Su Huiqing, who is the person who just looked for you?" Even they couldn't hide their gossip hearts. "Is he your girlfriend?"
Su Huiqing took out his phone and glanced at them. "NO."
If he says no, it must be true. After all, who would not show off such a person?
Hearing this, some of them relaxed.
However, Su Huiqing did not say anything and had just returned to his room.
After she left, the other girls were not calm either. One of them asked the girl who had just spoken, “Do you know that person?”
The girl took a deep breath. “I don't know the guy, but I've seen the guy next to him before. He was the one in charge of our family selection this time. Even if I have to say it in a low voice, he is also the elder candidate.”
Everyone took a deep breath.
Looking at the closed door, they could not get out of their trance. They had never expected Su Huiqing, who was so insignificant in their eyes, to have such a relationship. He really knows someone like Dugu Ji-An.
One of the girls was angry. “Number of slots is already less, but there are actually very capable people!”
…
While Ms. Dugu was still sitting in the teahouse.
The people in the teahouse recognized her and immediately took her to a private room upstairs. He sits in a chair. “Shuang'er will participate in the selection competition tomorrow. I wonder what the outcome will be. ”
“Nona Shuang'er will definitely be the first. It would definitely not be a coincidence if he managed to enter the Elder Cabinet. Come to think of it, Miss should be the third person in history to enter the Elder Cabinet.” The guard smiled. "This branch will congratulate Madam first."
Madam Dugu smiled and opened the window. He seemed to remember something and glanced to the side. "How did Shuang'er's elder brother chat with Su Huiqing?"
“You mean him? After you left, Hua Guangwen was gone.” immediately The guard beside him could not help but laugh. “Mistress, you know that Hua Guangwen has always liked our Miss. Our Missy is outstanding in all aspects of the younger generation. With our Missy in front, how could she like Su Huiqing? You really think too highly of him.”
“It's my fault. Go invite Miss Su. I want to personally apologize to him.” Hearing this, Madam Dugu's tone was filled with guilt, but her eyes flashed mockingly.
The guard immediately cupped his hands and went to look for Su Huiqing.
Su Huiqing wanted to explore the island. When he heard the words of the guard, he did not refuse and directly came to the teahouse.
Unexpectedly, Dugu Shuang was also there. As he spoke to Madam Dugu, he did not speak to Su Huiqing at first.
Su Huiqing dragged his chair and sat down at the table. He looked so relaxed as if this was his own home.
Only then did Madame Dugu notice Su Huiqing. "Nephew, when did you come?"
Su Huiqing simply smiled and looked at Madam Dugu.
Only then did Madame Dugu feel a little awkward. He reached out to hold Su Huiqing's hand. “I'm really sorry about today. I don't expect that brat from the Hua Family to humiliate you like this. My fault. Nephew, don't blame me. I'll help you find him in two days. The boy from the Hua Family had no good taste. It's rare to see you like this.”
Dugu Shuang finally understood what was happening.
He picked up his teacup and sipped his tea, a faint mocking smile on his lips.
