The first elder was stunned by Teacher Ming’s words. “Master Ming, how did I lie to you?”
Potion Maker Yun knew the personality of his old friend. He just looked in the direction he was pointing at and saw Su Huiqing leaning against a tree with her phone as if she was talking to someone.
“Old Master Yun, are you saying…?” Before Potion Maker Yun could finish his sentence, he saw Teacher Ming running towards Su Huiqing.
Su Huiqing was on the phone with Chi Yue. Xiao Ba was standing not far away, watching over her.
She initially wanted to open a voice video call with Chi Yue, but it was not convenient for him to go on a mission.
“It’s the Lu Family’s island.” Su Huiqing glanced at Teacher Ming who was walking over. She paused for a moment before saying, “Chi Yue, don’t care if that’s Chi Qing. Investigate the Dugu Family’s past first. Also, my grandfather. Is the Su Family related to the Dugu Family in the past? I have something on so I’ll hang up first.”
Chi Yue’s hand paused for a moment before he lowered his eyes. “Alright, I’ll come find you after I’m done.”
The two of them hung up, and Teacher Ming pushed Xiao Ba away. “Student Su, don’t run!”
Su Huiqing turned around and sighed. When she turned back again, she was full of smiles. “Teacher, why are you back at the Dugu Family?”
“I’m still talking about you? Have you applied for leave?” Teacher Ming glared at her and almost jumped up to scold her. “How can there be a student like you? It wasn’t easy for you to get into the First School. Why aren’t you working hard?!”
Su Huiqing raised her hand and said quietly, “Actually… it’s very easy to get in.”
Teacher Ming: “…” He couldn’t retort.
How the hell were they supposed to chat?
At this moment, the first elder and the rest also followed.
Dugu Shuang glanced at Su Huiqing in shock. “So Miss Su came from the First School? No wonder. But it’s not the school holiday now. Why did you suddenly return to the Dugu Family?”
When the first elder heard that Su Huiqing was actually from the First School, he also looked up at her in surprise.
“My teacher approved it.” Su Huiqing waved her phone and smiled at Teacher Ming. “Teacher, you can ask Teacher Du. I told him.”
“You still have the cheek to mention Old Du?” Teacher Ming sneered.
Su Huiqing was very calm. She smiled and stuffed her phone into her pocket. “Teacher Ming, First Elder, Seventh Elder, I think you guys have something on. I won’t disturb you anymore. I will take my leave first.”
Before Teacher Ming could say anything, she had already fled.
Xiao Ba didn’t know the other two people so he just bowed to the first elder. “First Elder, Missy and I are leaving.”
The seventh elder looked at Xiao Ba and couldn’t help but narrow his eyes in suspicion. “…isn’t this Xiao Ba a second-level? When did he become a third-level?”
It was because Xiao Ba was talented that he allowed Xiao Ba to follow Su Huiqing.
Teacher Ming glanced at her. Thinking about the Dugu Family and Old Master Dugu waiting for him, he didn’t chase after them. He just sighed. “Let’s go to the potion room.”
The first elder looked at Teacher Ming and couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher Ming, do you know Miss Su?”
Teacher Ming couldn’t help but frown. “What do you mean Miss Su? Isn’t she from the Dugu Family?”
“This… of course.” The first elder didn’t have anything to refute and felt a little awkward.
However, it was naturally impossible for him to treat Su Huiqing like Dugu Shuang. They had watched Dugu Shuang grow up. In their eyes, Su Huiqing and Dugu Shuang were naturally incomparable.
