The Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress
631-632

631

On the other hand, Lu Zhenzhen still pointed towards Su Huiqing, unable to say anything.

Su Huiqing sighed and kept Lu Zhenzhen's finger away from her face.

Just then, Dugu Ji-An and the seventh elder walked over.

"This is the seventh elder." Dugu Ji-An gestured to the seventh elder and introduced him to Su Huiqing.

Su Huiqing called out with a smile. The seventh elder waved his hand and did not dare to greet him in the same manner. He then assessed Su Huiqing. At first, he did not care much about Dugu Heng, about this daughter.

He felt that the entire Dugu Family had to reevaluate.

"Miss, let me take you to the place that the Family Head arranged for you." Dugu Ji-An sees the competition. "From now on, no one dares to provoke you."

"Can we leave early?" Su Huiqing touched his chin.

At this moment, the seventh elder also spoke up. "Even if others can't, Miss Su can of course."

Not to mention Su Huiqing was the daughter of Dugu Heng — even if she did not participate in this competition today, no one would dare to make things difficult for her. Everyone said that the Dugu Family was full of crazy people, but no one could compare to Dugu Heng.

"Then follow me." Su Huiqing gestured to Lu Zhenzhen.

The seventh elder glanced at Lu Zhenzhen. He's just an ordinary family member. The first elder and the others would not argue with Su Huiqing. "Alright, I'll report to the elder first later."

Dugu Ji-An led Su Huiqing in. It was clear that Dugu Heng and Dugu Ji-An had high positions here. Wherever they passed by, someone greeted Dugu Ji-An.

Seeing that Dugu Ji-An was actually very respectful towards others, those people inevitably looked at Su Huiqing with curiosity.

Dugu Heng had already prepared a place for Su Huiqing.

The three of them did not sit for long in Su Huiqing's garden. Su Huiqing listened to Dugu Ji-An introduce the Dugu Family to him. At this time someone reported that Bu Dugu had arrived.

Su Huiqing tapped his finger on the table. "Say that I don't exist."

That person was clearly convinced by Dugu Heng. After hearing this, he said nothing. He simply did not know what reason to use when he came out and pointed Madam Dugu and the others to the door.

“Is that Madame Dugu looking for you recently?” Hearing this name, Dugu Ji-An could not help but frown.

Su Huiqing pulled out his phone to check before standing up and walking towards the door. “I told her to leave, but I have to remind the people around me not to get too close to Mrs Dugu.”

Although he did not know why Su Huiqing still had such orders, Dugu Ji-An never objected to them.

“Lu Zhenzhen? Seeing that Missy has left, are you not following? Dugu Ji-An averted her gaze and realized that Lu Zhenzhen was still standing in front of her. He could not help but raise his eyebrows.

Lu Zhenzhen immediately reacted and followed Su Huiqing out.

Dugu Ji-An looked at the guard beside her. "And you? Are you blind?!"

The guard also immediately followed Su Huiqing out.

"Miss ... Miss Su." He followed Su Huiqing around the island and finally stopped at a small village near the beach. "What are you doing here?"

The guards behind Su Huiqing were also very confused. When Dugu Ji-An instructed her to follow Su Huiqing, many of the bodyguards were envious of her. They all say that this new Missy has a bright future.

However... This missy came here instead of visiting the old master on the island?

What do you want?

"Are you a villager here?" Su Huiqing did not answer Lu Zhenzhen until she stopped and crouched down to talk to a small child.

The child was originally unwilling to bother with strangers, but when he saw the guard clothes behind Su Huiqing, his expression instantly turned to respect. “Ya, Miss.”

Su Huiqing smiled warmly and patted the child's head. “Remember to remind your family to go sightseeing in the next two days.”

"Huh?" The child did not understand, but the people in the Dugu Family were gods in their eyes.

Su Huiqing stood up and handed the cotton candy to the child. She smiles. "The good boy. Let's go."

“Lu Zhenzhen, where did you say your home?” Su Huiqing suddenly looked towards Lu Zhenzhen.

After that, he really just took a walk in the entire Dugu Family island. He even bought some unique trinkets from Dugu Island.

This made the strength behind him gradually calm down.

The guards reported the matter to the seventh elder when he returned that night.

"You're saying he's only talking to a few people?" The seventh elder pondered for a moment before glancing at the guard. "Find some people and keep an eye on the people he's asking."

"Seventh elder, why are you acting like Miss Su?" The second elder did not think too much about it. “It's in our Dugu Family region. What could happen?”

632

The seventh elder ignored him and continued to instruct, "Image all the important places Missy has seen these few days and report to me."

He had always felt that Su Huiqing was not someone who would do something so boring.

The guard raised his head. The expression of the seventh elder was very serious. He said nothing and left immediately.

The second elder was speechless. In the end, he simply said, “Old Master will be back soon. He had always appreciated Dugu Heng. Now, there was Su Huiqing. Looks like Young Master Heng's side is better this time. Go and get ready. I think he will definitely return to meet Miss Su.”

The seventh elder waved his hand and said nothing.

Next day…

The Elder Cabinet suddenly held an emergency meeting.

"Miss Su, did something big happen?" Lu Zhenzhen asked worriedly as she watched the guard captain walk towards the Cabinet of Elders with a grim expression.

Su Huiqing stuffed his hand into his pocket and waved towards Dugu Jiyun. "Who knows? Ah Yun, come on, I'll take you to play.”

As he spoke, he threw a piece of candy at Dugu Jiyun.

Lu Zhenzhen: "..." Sooner or later, Miss Su will mislead a good child.

The guard beside him looked at the candy again, and his gaze could not help but envy. Don't get me wrong, he doesn't envy her for accepting candy; it's actually because of the energy in it. On the day he finished eating, he — who was stuck at the second level of high level — finally managed to break through to the third level.

Thinking of this, he could not help but stare at Su Huiqing deeply, his face becoming more respectful.

At this moment, in the Cabinet of Elders, the first elder looked at the people standing below with a solemn expression. “I believe everyone knows what happened recently. This unknown faction was too arrogant. Last night, nearly fifty people from our three Dugu Family villages mysteriously disappeared. Our Dugu Family definitely cannot tolerate this.

After hearing this, the seventh elder glanced at the piece of paper in his hand. This is a list of missing persons.

When he saw this list, his hands trembled, and the teacup beside him fell to the ground with a thud.

"Seventh Elder, what's wrong?" The third elder beside him looked at him.

The seventh elder did not react, but his fingers trembled.

The name of the village on this list was almost the same as the one that the guard had pointed out to Su Huiqing last night.

The first elder and the others had been busy for days, but they were still unable to find the whereabouts of those fifty people.

However, this matter was sealed very tightly. Other than the upper echelons of the Cabinet of Elders, almost no one knew.

"First Elder, I suspect Miss Su can help this matter." The seventh elder stood up and said to the first elder, "I think we should send someone to invite Miss Su."

"Miss Su?" After hearing this name, the first elder did not react at first until someone reminded him from behind. He immediately frowned and looked at the seventh elder. "What does he know?"

The seventh elder pursed his lips. “Most of the names in this missing list have been reminded by him to keep their families away from the village.”

"Are you sure?" The first elder looked at the seventh elder suspiciously. "If he knew before, why didn't he tell you?"

"But the First Elder ..." The seventh elder saw that the first elder and the others clearly did not believe him and inevitably spoke anxiously.

He also did not trust Su Huiqing too much, but Su Huiqing looked like a person with a secret. Other than Dugu Ji-An—'s attitudeDugu Ji-An didn't even treat them with respect like he treated Su Huiqing.

“Alright, Seventh Elder, I think you are tired these few days. Happy resting. Also, send more people to protect Miss Su. I think this group of people are here for the genius of our Dugu Family. The first elder waved his hand and glanced at the person behind him. "Go invite Miss Shuang'er."
