Chapter 764: Are You Looking Down on Her?

Old Master Dugu waited anxiously for Su Huiqing to enter. He had never seen Su Huiqing before, but he had heard the name Su Huiqing from others. He didn’t deliberately investigate her.

After the butler told him about the emperor in the north, he was very grateful and relieved to this person who saved him. This was something that their bloodline could do.

Only when the footsteps outside sounded did he stand up with a ‘bang’, his joy apparent.

“You… you are Qingqing, right?” Old Master Dugu had a bad temper when he was young. Most juniors in the family were afraid of him yet respected him. Now that he saw Su Huiqing, he really didn’t know how to react.

Apart from Old Master Dugu, there were a few elders in the hall. Seeing this scene, they all looked at one another.

They naturally knew Su Huiqing, but they didn’t understand why Old Master treated Su Huiqing like this.

However, they didn’t dare to be disrespectful to Su Huiqing, even if she only had a piece of wasteland.

“Old Master, Missy is back today. All the juniors are here. Can we prepare the test?” The first elder said respectfully.

This ‘Missy’ was obviously not referring to Su Huiqing… but Dugu Shuang. In their eyes, only Dugu Shuang was their real Missy.

Su Huiqing didn’t know much about this, so she glanced sideways at Xiao Ba.

Xiao Ba immediately explained in a low voice. Tomorrow was the annual meeting. On the day before that, everyone in the family would be tested, so that they could choose talented people to train. Dugu Heng, Dugu Ji-An, and the rest were chosen last year.

Su Huiqing nodded after hearing this explanation. No wonder she couldn’t contact them last night.

“Mmm, go down and prepare. I will be right there.” Old Master Dugu glanced at Su Huiqing. He had actually heard Su Huiqing ask Xiao Ba. Seeing that she didn’t have any other expression after hearing that, he waved them off to prepare.

Su Huiqing was not familiar with Old Master Dugu, so she only said a few words before leaving. The other party had no reason to keep her and could only watch her leave regretfully.

The first elder left with Su Huiqing. The two of them walked towards the backyard. Just as they stepped out, they saw Dugu Shuang walking over. He paused and looked at Su Huiqing hesitantly.

Su Huiqing saw his gaze and couldn’t help but narrow her eyes. “Why?”

“That piece of land in the north was given to you.” Because of what happened a year ago, the first elder didn’t dare to look at Su Huiqing. He just said in a low voice, “That is your private territory. You don’t have to participate in this test.”

He was right. At the same time, he wanted to leave a good impression in Su Huiqing’s eyes.

He knew that Su Huiqing’s subordinates were all in the wasteland. Without resources, how could they grow? Not only her, but even the guards she brought back had grudges with Dugu Shuang’s people. Thus, he wanted to sell Su Huiqing his face.

Otherwise, they might make a fool of themselves.

Especially since Su Huiqing didn’t return a year ago. This made them even more certain.

“First Elder, you are wrong.” Although the first elder’s voice was soft, Dugu Shuang still heard it. She turned and looked over. “No matter what, she is Uncle Heng’s daughter. They say that a tiger father will never have a dog son. Aren’t you looking down on Miss Su?”
