Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress Chapter 245 - You Know Eldest Young Missy?

Chapter 245: You Know Eldest Young Missy?

Outside, Su Huiqing stuffed her hand into her pocket. She followed Dugu Heng casually and smiled extremely lazily.

However, she had never partic.i.p.ated in such an internal compet.i.tion of a big family. Thinking of this, her eyes narrowed as she looked sideways at Dugu Heng. “What are we competing for tomorrow?”

It was still raining outside. Dugu Heng held a big black umbrella that he obviously tilted more towards Su Huiqing.

“According to the arrangements of the first elder and the rest, there are many segments of the compet.i.tion.” Hearing this from her, Dugu Heng turned serious and looked at Su Huiqing. “Bloodline and combat skills will definitely be among these. As it involves the practice journey—when the time comes, there will be many people challenging you.”

She rarely looked so serious.

“Oh.” Su Huiqing touched her chin. “If I come last in bloodline but defeat everyone else in combat, what will the final ranking be like?”

She was indeed not that confident in the bloodline segment. After all, she also knew that it was possible that her bloodline wasn’t very pure.

“The Dugu Family has always prioritized capabilities. In the face of capabilities, bloodline is nothing!” Seeing Su Huiqing’s expression, Dugu Heng couldn’t help but laugh heartily; this child really took after him.

Su Huiqing brushed her hair casually and smiled. “That’s good.”

The butler, who was behind them, saw the exchange between the father and daughter and couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver.

An awkward look appeared on his expressionless face uncontrollably. d.a.m.n, these two people were equally crazy. They were already thinking about becoming champions even before the compet.i.tion. Who gave them such courage?

“Hold on.” Dugu Heng suddenly thought of something and stared at Su Huiqing’s sloppy mannerisms. “You slept at Princ.i.p.al Dien’s cla.s.s today?!”

Su Huiqing paused in her tracks with one hand in her pocket. “Yup. Any problem?”

She was too tired. Additionally, in her past life, she had listened to too many of Princ.i.p.al Dien’s cla.s.ses. Even Princ.i.p.al Dien said that he already had nothing left to teach her, and she had to experiment with the rest herself. That was why she slept just like that.

“Do you know how tough it is to get a slot in Princ.i.p.al Dien’s cla.s.s?” Hearing such an ent.i.tled statement from Su Huiqing, Dugu Heng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry momentarily. However, his tone was obviously a lot more solemn. “This lesson was only made possible with the cooperation of the Dugu Family and the Yu Family.

“He had already stopped teaching for more than a year. You’ve just arrived at the International a.s.sociation and perhaps aren’t sure about many things, but it definitely won’t do you any harm to be more attentive during Princ.i.p.al Dien’s cla.s.s.”

It was already nighttime. It was a rainy night without any stars in the sky. The fog hung in the air, and even the lights didn’t look very visible.

Su Huiqing smiled and reduced her usual casualness. “Don’t worry, I’ll take note the next time.”

She naturally couldn’t say that she had known Princ.i.p.al Dien since a long time ago.

“You’re someone with your views.” Dugu Heng knew that Su Huiqing wasn’t a simple person. However, it was his first time fostering a daughter, and he summoned all the patience he had ever had in his life. “The International a.s.sociation is too complicated.

“Now, there are too many people going against you in the Dugu Family. You don’t have to bother with some people. You and your mother only have to carry on with your lives, and I’ll take care of both of you.”

Su Huiqing smiled. She smiled from the bottom of her heart.

This father that appeared out of nowhere seemed not bad.

The next day…

The entire Dugu Family was busy. As usual, Su Huiqing woke up early for a morning jog. It was dreamily drizzling this morning.

The rain wasn’t heavy, and the sunlight could even still be seen. Dugu Ji-An, the second elder, and the rest were discussing something with Old Master Ye.

The Ye Family came over this time for two matters—regarding that top-grade potion as well as the regular potions. He had used the herbs from the southern island previously, followed Su Huiqing’s instructions, and rushed to produce countless potions.

Although they couldn’t be compared to high-level potions, they were still rare in the International a.s.sociation.

Naturally, the Dugu Family would also receive their share.

Dugu Ji-An stood beside the second elder and observed the surroundings casually. Suddenly, he saw something, squinted, and felt that the blazing sunlight made him unable to see clearly.

Beside him, Dugu Xing followed his gaze and naturally also saw a figure clad in white sports attire with earphones hanging by her ears. Under the sunlight, the figure seemed like a painting. Her features looked extremely exquisite, and she looked outstandingly gorgeous.

Perhaps others might feel that the weather was awkward. Carrying an umbrella seemed like such a drag, but without it, they might look haggard.

However, she was the only one who was still jogging gorgeously.

Dugu Xing had to admit that this person was an unforgettable sight everywhere she went.

“Eldest Young Missy, what are you doing here?” Upon seeing Su Huiqing, the second elder’s face darkened as he spoke grumpily—a conditioned reflex.

Seeing that someone called out to her, Su Huiqing had no choice but to stop jogging, reached out, removed her earphones, and looked over at the second elder with slightly mysterious eyes. “Jogging—you can’t tell?”

When a person disliked someone, that person could find flaws everywhere.

Even Dugu Ji-An would call out respectfully to the second elder; he was naturally unhappy with Su Huiqing’s behavior.

Instantly, his face darkened. “Since you’ve returned to the Dugu Family, you’re the Eldest Young Missy as well as the face of the Dugu Family. Don’t you know that the young disciples of the Dugu Family train in the morning every day?

“Every morning, they’ll wake up early and go through the basic skills once and practice the horse stance for an hour. Just look at you—jogging? Jogging is for ordinary people.

“In the future, you better practice together with the disciples in the morning. Otherwise, you’ll be a disgrace to the Dugu Family when you go out.”

Right after he finished speaking, those bodyguards and a few outstanding disciples with them couldn’t help but laugh.

Looking at this new Eldest Young Missy—similar to the few elders, they also despised this Eldest Young Missy who only knew how to depend on the head of the family.

If it weren’t for their respect towards Dugu Heng, they definitely wouldn’t allow Su Huiqing to enter the Dugu Family just like this.

Jogging? That was something that even they as bodyguards wouldn’t do. Indeed, she was a petty girl from Green City.

“This is the Eldest Young Missy that the head of the family acknowledged from outside.” The second elder then smiled and looked at Old Master Ye. After only briefly introducing Su Huiqing, he continued to guide Old Master Ye. “Old Master Ye, please.”

However, this time, Old Master Ye didn’t leave immediately.

Instead, he looked at Su Huiqing with shock. He naturally remembered this person… who was recommended by Princ.i.p.al Dien and made things unfavorable for the Ye Family with merely a few words!

“Miss Su?” He spoke with a horrified face.

Su Huiqing had wanted to ignore the second elder as she put on her earphones once again when she suddenly heard a familiar voice. She looked sideways, removed her earphones, and smiled mildly. “Old Master Ye?”

“You’re too kind.” Old Master Ye clasped his hands together. At this instant, he finally understood what Princ.i.p.al Dien said previously.

Princ.i.p.al Dien asked if he knew about the Dugu Family acknowledging a daughter.

At that point, he still spoke strangely about how it was indeed a waste of s.p.a.ce to allow tainted bloodlines to the training grounds. However, unexpectedly, Su Huiqing was that daughter acknowledged by the Dugu Family.

No wonder… no wonder Princ.i.p.al Dien asked about this.

“Old Master Ye knows the Eldest Young Missy?” Dugu Ji-An narrowed his eyes slightly at Old Master Ye’s behavior.

The second elder and the rest were also looking at Old Master Ye, astonished. It didn’t make sense. They all knew that Su Huiqing and Su Ruohua were both from Green City; how could they know people from the Ye Family?

Su Huiqing nodded at Old Master Ye without any expression. “I’ll make a move first.”

She then plugged her earphones in and continued jogging without the least bit of change in her tone.

“We’ve met briefly at Monster University; I didn’t expect her to be the Eldest Young Missy of the Dugu Family.” Old Master Ye seemingly understood what Su Huiqing meant and didn’t explain things clearly.

Seeing this, Dugu Xing, the second elder, and the rest didn’t ask further. The Ye Family had always collaborated with Monster University, and it wasn’t strange for them to have met there. He was probably shocked that Su Huiqing was actually the Missy of the Dugu Family.

“What an Eldest Young Missy.” The second elder sneered. “I’ll be happy if she had half the talent of Xing’er.”

Dugu Xing smiled without speaking. This Miss Dugu who suddenly appeared out of nowhere didn’t bother her that much anymore.

Anyway, there was almost no aspect of Su Huiqing that was superior to her. Outsiders only knew about the extremely talented Dugu Xing and Dugu Ji-An of the Dugu Family, and the Eldest Young Missy of the Dugu Family was merely an ordinary person with a tainted bloodline.

Seeing how the second elder spoke casually, Old Master Ye couldn’t help but purse his lips…

Without saying anything.

Naturally, he recalled how Su Huiqing exposed the Ye Family’s secret with a single statement, as well as that majestic aura, and her familiarity with Princ.i.p.al Dien…

How could such a person… be ordinary?

He glanced at the second elder. If they knew that the Eldest Young Missy they spoke about was on very good terms with Princ.i.p.al Dien… would they still speak like this?
