Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress - Chapter 634
Chapter 634: I Think I should Find Miss Su
The seventh elder ignored him and continued instructing, “Draw out all the important places that Missy has been looking at these few days and report to me.”
He always felt that Su Huiqing was not someone who would do something so boring.
The guard raised his head. The seventh elder’s expression was very serious. He didn’t say anything and immediately left.
The second elder was speechless. In the end, he just said, “Old Master is coming back soon. He has always valued Dugu Heng. Now, there’s a Su Huiqing. It looks like Young Master Heng’s side is better this time. Go and prepare. I think he will definitely come back to meet Miss Su.”
The seventh elder waved his hand and didn’t say anything.
The next day…
The Elder Cabinet suddenly held an emergency meeting.
“Miss Su, did something major happen?” Lu Zhenzhen asked worriedly as she watched the captain of the guards walk towards the Elder Cabinet with a grave expression.
Su Huiqing stuffed her hand into her pocket and waved at Dugu Jiyun. “Who knows? Ah Yun, come, I will bring you out to play.”
As she spoke, she threw a piece of candy at Dugu Jiyun.
Lu Zhenzhen: “…” Sooner or later, Miss Su would lead a good child astray.
The guard beside him took another look at that candy, and his gaze could not help but be a little envious. Don’t misunderstand, he didn’t envy her for receiving a candy; it was actually because of the energy in it. On the day he finished eating on, he—who was stuck in the high-stage second level—finally broke through to the third level.
At the thought of this, he couldn’t help but take a deep look at Su Huiqing, his face becoming even more respectful.
At this moment, in the Elder Cabinet, the first elder looked at the people standing below with a serious expression. “I believe everyone knows what happened recently. This unknown faction is too arrogant. Last night, nearly fifty people from our Dugu Family’s three villages mysteriously disappeared. Our Dugu Family definitely cannot tolerate this.”
Upon hearing this, the seventh elder glanced at the piece of paper in his hand. This was the list of missing people.
When he saw this list, his hand 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 didn’t react, but his fingers were trembling.
The name of the villages on this list… was almost identical to the ones the guard showed Su Huiqing last night.
The first elder and the rest had been busy for many days, but they still couldn’t find the whereabouts of fifty people.
However, this matter was sealed very tightly. Other than the upper echelons of the Elder Cabinet, almost no one knew.
“First Elder, I suspect that Miss Su can help with 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?” Upon hearing this name, the first elder didn’t react at first until someone reminded him from behind. He immediately frowned and looked at the seventh elder. “What does she know?”
The seventh elder pursed his lips. “Most names on this missing list have been reminded by her to keep their family away from the village.”
“Are you sure?” The first elder looked at the seventh elder suspiciously. “If she knew earlier, why didn’t she tell you?”
“But First Elder…” The seventh elder saw that the first elder and the rest obviously didn’t believe him and couldn’t help but speak anxiously.
He didn’t trust Su Huiqing very much either, but Su Huiqing looked like a person with secrets. In addition to Dugu Ji-An’s attitude—Dugu Ji-An didn’t even treat them as respectfully as he treated Su Huiqing.
“Alright, Seventh Elder, I think you are tired these few days. Have a good rest. Also, send more people to protect Miss Su. I think this bunch of people is here for the geniuses of our Dugu Family.” The first elder waved his hand and glanced sideways at the person behind him. “Go invite Miss Shuang’er over.”
