Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 618: Isn’t She from the Dugu Family?

Downstairs…

“Missy.” Upon seeing Su Huiqing coming down, the group of guards immediately jumped off the car and greeted her respectfully.

Ever since the secret guard was taught a harsh lesson by Su Huiqing in the International Association, not only had he become obedient in front of the Dugu Family, but he had also become even more obedient in front of Su Huiqing.

Su Huiqing replied, “How did you guys find this place?”

“Master said that it’s not safe here and told me to protect you carefully. He will bring you to the Dugu Family after he is done with his matters in two days,” the secret guard answered carefully.

Although she felt that she wouldn’t be in any danger, Su Huiqing knew that Dugu Heng definitely felt that she was in danger. She could only sigh and didn’t say anything.

She waved at the secret guards. “Thank you for your hard work.”

The secret guards were flattered. “Of course, of course!”

Su Huiqing nodded and went upstairs.

At the entrance of the hotel, the people from the Murong Family alighted. The Murong Family Head immediately saw the secret guard talking to Su Huiqing. “Wait, isn’t that someone from the Dugu Family? Why are you so respectful towards Su Huiqing?”

Murong Bai also paused and looked at that group of guards.

His brows furrowed slightly. “I don’t know.”

He had never investigated Su Huiqing before and didn’t know about his relationship with Dugu Heng. Moreover… looking at those guards, they seemed to be very respectful towards Su Huiqing.

“How strange. Those people from the Dugu Family have strange and violent tempers. They have always been high and mighty. They don’t even have an ally. Just because of their shocking strength, no one would dare to provoke them. The Dugu Family would already be gone…” Before the Murong Family Head could finish his shock, his eyes widened.

He saw that secret guard watching Su Huiqing leave and even bowing respectfully on the spot.

WTF? Don’t you want your Dugu Family’s face anymore?

“These are Dugu Heng’s secret guards.” The Murong Family Head pointed at them. “The last time I saw them, they weren’t even so respectful. Today, they are actually so polite to a young lady?”

Murong Bai glanced at the Murong Family Head and paused. “…could it be that it depends on your face?”

The Murong Family Head: “…” I might have picked you up from somewhere else.

“Wait.” The Murong Family Head suddenly thought of something and narrowed his eyes at Murong Bai. “Today, Elder Hua told me that you seem to be hiding something from me?”

“Elder Hua?” Murong Bai was stunned. “What did he tell you specifically?”

“I only mentioned the potion.” The Murong Family Head paused. “Are you really hiding something from me?”

Murong Bai suddenly recalled the pot of potion that was still placed by his bedside. “…there’s a small matter. I’ll tell you when I have time. You have to be prepared.”

“Your father, I, have experienced all sorts of storms. How can I not be prepared?” The Murong Family Head smiled. “You are looking down on me too much.”

This time, Murong Bai didn’t speak. He just thought quietly, When you see that pot of potion, I’ll see if you’ll be slapped in the face.

However, this Dugu Family…

Murong Bai narrowed his eyes.

…

Su Huiqing didn’t care about Dugu Heng’s secret guards. Recently, she didn’t play games in the training room either, causing the potion teacher to repeatedly look for her. However, he still couldn’t find her.

This time, Teacher Du finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.

For the past two days, the potion teacher had been walking in front of him two or three times a day.

If that was all, it was fine. However, the principal called him every day and asked him where Su Huiqing was.

Other than that, the Murong Family Head also sent people over frequently to ask.

Even if Teacher Du was not curious, he could not help but pull the potion teacher back. “Why are all of you looking for Su Huiqing? It’s fine if it’s just you, but even the Murong Family Head and Principal are looking for her? Oh, right, Mr. Fu De also sent someone to ask? Are all of you crazy?”

“You are the crazy one!” The potion teacher glanced at Teacher Du and tried his best not to have that jealous gaze.

“Forget it, I’ll tell you this.” The potion teacher straightened his face. “You know that I was seriously injured previously, right?”

“Wait a minute, are you kidding me? You call this serious?” Teacher Du looked at the potion teacher suspiciously.

The potion teacher frowned and suppressed the urge to beat him up. “It was very serious at that time. Teacher Fu even called the people from the miracle doctor’s sect over. However, almost no one could do anything at that time. Do you know who saved me in the end?”

He looked at Teacher Du and said word by word, “It’s that student of yours, Su Huiqing. She refined a 90% purity potion. This is also the reason why I asked you to give her to me. She really has talent in potions. Teacher Du, I won’t talk to you about anything else. Think about it carefully. Do you want her to learn potions from me?”

Teacher Du opened his mouth and gave a bitter laugh. “You… let me think about it.”

He never expected Su Huiqing to give him such a big shock.

His student was indeed outstanding… but also outstanding enough to make the potion teacher snatch her over time and time again.

“Alright, I hope you can think it through.” The potion teacher nodded. “Let her become a potion master or something else.”

Teacher Du returned to the training room with heavy footsteps.

Seeing him like this, Qu Yan could not help but ask, “Teacher, why are you acting strangely?”

Teacher Du glanced at Qu Yan and sighed. “Qu Yan, you have such a good relationship with Su Huiqing. Do you think she has any future in the field of potions?”

“Her?” Qu Yan glanced at Teacher Du and smiled. “Teacher, don’t think about this anymore. She is busy dealing with Su Xiao now and won’t think about this.”

“Su Xiao?” Upon hearing this, Teacher Du’s expression changed. “How could she provoke Su Xiao? Didn’t I remind you that there are three people in your school that you absolutely cannot provoke?”
