Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress - Chapter 264
Chapter 264: I Really Can’t Teach You
Su Huiqing walked out of the door, still in a daze.
“Uncle Butler, did I… get chased out?” She turned to look at Butler Dugu, who had been waiting outside the door, and pointed at her face.
The butler nodded, but there was no displeasure on his face. He looked at Su Huiqing with an amiable smile. “It’s alright, Missy. I will tell him when the family head comes back to find you a better master.”
In order not to upset Su Huiqing, he intentionally relaxed his smile.
Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes and smiled at the butler. Her smile was extremely lazy. “Oh… It’s okay. I won’t force him to teach me if he doesn’t want to. Mr. Feng doesn’t seem to be very suitable for me.”
She hadn’t seen those books yet. If she wanted to memorize it, she could just flip through it.
However, she didn’t understand why she had to use her book to judge a person.
As she spoke, she took out her phone and sent a message to Yu Xiangyang.
Seeing that handsome back view disappear from his sight, the Dugu Family butler tilted his head and glanced in the direction of the classroom. His warm eyes instantly turned cold.
He lowered his head and called Dugu Heng.
Meanwhile, at Monster University, Yu Xiangyang was concocting a new potion. It was rare to see Elder Ye standing beside him. “Mr. Yu, is Miss Su really coming today?”
Yu Xiangyang mixed the green herb extract and blue extract together. He lowered his handsome eyes, and his movements were even more extreme. “She had to meet a teacher. She might be here at five…”
“Is that so…?” Elder Ye turned around in disappointment and picked up an herb to refine.
Unexpectedly, right after Yu Xiangyang said that, the cell phone on the potion table lit up.
Elder Ye saw that the person who sent the message was Su Huiqing. He patted Yu Xiangyang’s shoulder, and his eyes lit up. “Look, there’s news from Miss Su.”
Yu Xiangyang was preparing to mix the third-grade Chinese medicine again when he heard that. He put down the test tube and took his phone.
There were only five words on the message: “I will be there in half an hour.”
Yu Xiangyang kept his phone and glanced at Elder Ye. “Hold on. Qingqing will be here soon.”
This potion room was specially designed for Yu Xiangyang and Su Huiqing a few days ago.
Teacher Ye, who had been teaching them, didn’t teach them anymore when Su Huiqing opened the potion shop and gave Elder Ye a potion formula. Principal Dien also knew about it so he immediately got someone to give them a new potion room.
When Su Huiqing arrived, Yu Xiangyang had just concocted this potion.
“Miss Su.” Seeing Su Huiqing walking in slowly, Elder Ye immediately went up to her. His eyes lit up. Those who didn’t know better would think that he was looking at the Ye Family patriarch.
Su Huiqing took the potion from Yu Xiangyang and placed one hand on the table. She raised her brows. “Elder Ye?”
It seemed like she was asking him why he was here.
Elder Ye smiled at Su Huiqing in embarrassment before he regained his composure. “Our Ye Family has already found someone to concoct this new potion for Miss Su. The effects are better than we thought…”
He looked at Su Huiqing as though she was a monster.
“More or less.” Su Huiqing nodded, put down Yu Xiangyang’s potion, turned slightly, and lowered her voice. “Don’t tell anyone else. I am the one who gave you this potion formula. Don’t tell anyone that I know how to refine potions.”
“Why?” Elder Ye was a little confused.
He knew that Su Huiqing’s ability to make potions was definitely not low. At the very least, she was not inferior to him.
Not to mention, she also had the formula for the new potion.
No matter where she went, this incident would cause a huge uproar. If it was made public, even the Dugu Family’s attitude towards her would change.
For a high-level potion maker, not to mention the Dugu Family, even if they were placed in the International Association; they would still be a formidable existence. No one would dare to offend a high-level potion maker. If possible, a high-level potion maker could exchange for countless highly-skilled potion followers.
Why did Su Huiqing not want to tell anyone about it?
Su Huiqing didn’t reply. She just lowered her eyes and reached out to grab the jade pendant on her neck.
She knew her situation very well. The source of everything came from the snow jade on her neck. This was her biggest secret. Sometimes, she even wondered if her death in her previous life was related to this snow jade.
Someone then entered the potion lab.
Upon hearing that Su Huiqing came to school, Principal Dien put down the geography book in his hand and walked over with his hands behind his back.
“Didn’t you hear that Mr. Feng went to the Dugu Family? Do you still have the time to come here?” The moment he entered, he saw Su Huiqing leaning against the table and looking down at the phone in her hand. The sunlight shone on her face, making her face look extremely fair and her figure very beautiful.
Principal Dien felt a sense of familiarity when he saw her like this.
However, he quickly snapped out of his trance.
Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes, her voice somewhat doubtful.
“Stop talking.” Su Huiqing immediately stood up straight when she saw Principal Dien. She held her forehead and sighed. “Mr. Feng doesn’t like me.”
“Not interested in you?” Not only Principal Dien, even Elder Ye and Yu Xiangyang were shocked.
Su Huiqing shrugged her shoulders and said in a helpless voice, “He asked me if I knew how to memorize ancient books, but I said that I didn’t know how. He asked me to answer his question, but I couldn’t answer him and was chased out of the classroom.”
“Pfft!” Yu Xiangyang could not help but laugh.
He, Qu Yan, and the rest all knew that Su Huiqing had a photographic memory as she would never be chased out of the library.
Yu Xiangyang did not know what to say.
“Mr. Feng can be considered the top spiritual power teacher in the International Association. If he doesn’t take you in by name, you will be mocked by the entire International Association tomorrow. You still have the mood to laugh here?” Principal Dien glanced at Su Huiqing.
After a moment, he placed his hands behind his back. “Spiritual power is indeed a problem. Come to school next week.”
Yu Xiangyang did not react to his words.
However, Elder Ye widened his eyes in shock.
“Elder Ye, what’s wrong?” Seeing him like this, Yu Xiangyang could not help but raise his eyebrows. “Isn’t Principal Dien teaching geography? Does he want to teach Qingqing geography? But isn’t Qingqing learning that ancient book?”
“Teaching geography, my ass!” Elder Ye was so anxious that he started to curse. “Do you know how formidable Principal Dien is? You have been in the capital for so long; you should know that genius of the Dugu Family, Dugu Ji-An, right?
“When he was in the early stage of his enlightenment, the Dugu Family also looked for Principal Dien, but Principal Dien didn’t agree. Not to mention Dugu Ji-An, even the Yu Family couldn’t make him agree.”
Elder Ye knew that Yu Xiangyang did not know about the history of the International Association and immediately explained it to Yu Xiangyang.
“Principal Dien has only taught three disciples in his life. We don’t know who the first two are, but you are definitely no stranger to the last one—the King of Mercenaries who is very intimidating even in the International Association.”
There were no rumors in the International Association, but everyone had a tacit understanding.
One could only imagine.
When news of Principal Dien accepting a new disciple spread, many people would be shocked.
King of Mercenaries?
Yu Xiangyang was stunned. This was not the first time he heard this name.
However, in the next second, he looked at Principal Dien with a new gaze.
Su Huiqing was also stunned. She stood rooted to the ground and paused for a few seconds before looking at Principal Dien. However, her eyes were lowered, making it difficult for one to see her expression. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she spoke. “Okay…”
She called him teacher in her heart.
“Mmm, when are we going to hold an apprenticeship banquet?” Principal Dien smiled. He then remembered something and turned to look at Su Huiqing. “As for your mother, let’s settle it together.”
With that, he walked out happily with his hands behind his back. If he looked closer, his fingers would tremble.
Only Su Huiqing remained standing there without looking up.
…
In the Dugu Family…
Mr. Feng was meeting the second elder, and his tone was very stern. “I really can’t teach the eldest daughter of your family. She’s too mischievous and can’t do anything. Second elder, please tell the Dugu Family Head that you can hire someone else.”
His life’s brilliance could not be ruined by her.
