Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress - Chapter 183
Chapter 183: Taking Back Something Which Belonged To Her
Su Zhi, who was waiting by the side, suddenly felt the surrounding air turn chilly.
He tugged at his clothes and murmured that the International Association’s weather was so strange.
How did a hot summer day suddenly turn so chilly?
“Alright, wait for me.” Su Huiqing hung up her call.
With her lids lowered, no one could see her blood-tinged eyes.
“Uncle, I have something on and will come again tomorrow.” Su Huiqing slowly took off her earpiece.
Her voice was terrifyingly calm.
Yu Shijin had already alighted and was leaning against the car door, surveying the pedestrians with his profound eyes.
The black car beside him reflected his high status.
But his face was impassive.
He stared into the distance, those cold, remote eyes of his looking rather empty.
He had no idea whether this was the right time to tell her about this.
His face calm and pristine as always, Yu Shijin flicked his cigarette. The surrounding pedestrians and the street lamps all appeared to fade into the background.
This was the Su Corporation’s new address.
She would need just a few minutes to come down.
But Yu Shijin had stood here for 20 minutes without seeing her.
Su Ruohua and her people came down to get some dinner. Su Zhi instantly recognized Yu Shijin. He had heard of him from Xie Zhengyuan back in Green City. He called out. “Mr. Yu, what are you doing here?”
Yu Shijin glanced at him and surveyed the group, but failed to see that familiar face.
He blew out a stream of cigarette smoke and greeted Su Ruohua and the gang before asking, “Where is Su Huiqing?”
By now, even Su Zhi could feel the dangerous vibe emanating from Yu Shijin.
“She just left after receiving a call,” Su Zhi answered.
Left?
“Very good.” Yu Shijin lowered his eyes.
Which was raging with wild anger.
He stomped on his cigarette butt before driving his car away.
“Boss, City Lord is waiting for your return. The Dugu Family and Ye Family are all also here.” It was the chief detective on the phone. “There is something very important they have to discuss with you…”
“Chief detective, gather everyone. We are going to Unknown Island.” Yu Shijin cut in.
His every word was icy-cold and unnaturally calm.
Chief detective was stunned.
Even from the other end of the phone, he could feel Master Yu’s malevolence. Unknown Island? What happened?
Chief detective tried to figure out the situation as he hurriedly contacted the others in Area One.
There were no Yu Family people at all.
They were all under Yu Shijin’s authority.
The black car sped through the International Association, running red light after red light. But no one dared to stop him, not even the traffic police. Noticing the purple-tinted gold orchid on the side of the car, they all shuddered and didn’t dare to raise the sirens.
Inside the car was Yu Shijin. His eyes were pitch-black.
And cold beyond belief.
That frosty, handsome face also held a hint of self-mockery.
She asked him to wait for her, and so he waited.
But she had left on her own.
So many years had passed.
But things were still the same. He believed anything she said.
Once again, he was deceived by her.
Very slowly, he breathed out her name, syllabus by syllabus. “Su. Hui. Qing.”
That voice was enough to chill the bones.
—
Once again stepping onto Unknown Island, Su Huiqing realized it was more peaceful than she imagined.
She lifted her eyes and read the two large words printed there: Unknown Island!
“Who’s there?” The guard seemed to have detected some motion.
Su Huiqing didn’t even turn her head. She lifted her hand, and two silver needles shot out.
Ping!
The voice behind her stopped.
She didn’t turn around but just placed her foot onto the first step.
She would never forget her destiny.
Do you remember your duty?
Yes, to protect Unknown Island.
Qingqing, listen to me. You are the master of Unknown Island, the backbone and protector of the entire International Association.
King, we will stand guard till the end. We will live here and die here.
…
Su Huiqing recalled everything until the very last sentence.
By then, she had made it to the final step.
She slowly looked up at the sorceress hall.
There were many people bustling about at the sorceress hall now as if preparing for something.
“You?” Tao Zhuo hurried over with her cell phone. She was trying to find the great sorcerer but noticed Su Huiqing. She looked like she had seen a ghost. “Why are you here?!”
Su Huiqing had already taken off her military training jacket and was only wearing a white t-shirt.
She slowly lifted her gaze to meet Tao Zhuo’s eyes. She smiled. “I am taking back something which belongs to me.”
Under the moonlight, that smile looked very evil.
Before Tao Zhuo could react, Su Huiqing shot out a silver needle with a wave of her hand.
She continued to make her way forward, her face impassive.
Under the cold moonlight, that face was as frosty as the icy snow.
She had stopped caring about so many things, given up almost everything.
She had yielded so many times, endured for so long.
But after hearing Yu Shijin’s words, she could bear it no longer.
She could give up nearly everything. Except Long Rainbow. She swore never to surrender it.
Just the mention of it—she felt the sudden urge to destroy.
Everyone in the hall was arranging the incense and offerings.
It was all very hectic and vibrant.
Su Huiqing took in the entire scene with cold eyes.
She summoned someone over, smiling wickedly. “Where is the great sorcerer?”
The person was taken aback. He had never seen Su Huiqing before. “Why are you looking for the great sorcerer?”
“I am asking you, where is he?” Su Huiqing continued to stare at him with icy-cold eyes.
She calmly repeated.
“…Ancestral Hall.”
Su Huiqing was obviously very familiar with the sorceress hall.
She turned and headed in that direction.
Still very familiar with the sorceress hall.
Steeped in her own thoughts, that sentence echoed again in her ears: You, have you heard of Unknown Island?
