Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Without comparison, there would be no harm.

Even Xiao Ba and the rest didn’t expect Su Huiqing to reach a point where they couldn’t catch up after a year.

No one spoke first, but everyone looked at Su Huiqing with respect.

Dugu Shuang’s face darkened. Many people looked at her strangely.

“I didn’t expect Miss Su to be so powerful.” The hall master, who was on Dugu Shuang’s side, finally spoke up. “First Elder, didn’t you want to discuss a collaboration with Miss Shuang’er? Cooperating with the miracle doctor’s sect is the first olive branch[1] this year.”

The first elder finally snapped out of his trance. Although for a moment, he almost completely sided with Su Huiqing, the hall master’s words made him return to reality.

At first, he thought that Su Huiqing was not comparable to Dugu Shuang at all. Then, when Su Huiqing’s test results were out, he suddenly realized that he was wrong. Until now, he really felt that Su Huiqing—this Missy who came back halfway—was really not simple.

Now, she couldn’t really compare to Dugu Shuang. After all, Dugu Shuang still had Fu Meng and the behemoth from the miracle doctor’s sect behind her.

Just then, someone came in and said that he wanted to see Su Huiqing.

He was Old Master Zhuge’s only disciple.

Su Huiqing glanced at the first elder and asked, “First Elder, can I look for Old Master?”

“Ah? Sure, of course.” The first elder had no temper at all.

Su Huiqing glanced at the newcomer and gestured at him. He paused and nodded at her. “Miss Su, I will wait for you here.”

His tone and actions were very respectful.

Su Huiqing didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with his respectful attitude. She just walked to the side. No one dared to speak to her.

The first elder realized that he didn’t know Su Huiqing’s friend. However, since he was Su Huiqing’s friend, the first elder naturally didn’t dare to offend her. “I haven’t seen you before. You are…”

The friend glanced at the first elder and didn’t say anything. He just took out his badge.

The first elder froze when he saw this badge. He looked up at the man in disbelief.

“My surname is Chu. I’m just here to look for Miss Su.”

“So you are Old Master Zhuge’s disciple.” The first elder’s expression turned even more respectful.

After this sentence, the man seemed to fall silent again. However, at this moment, Dugu Shuang suddenly said, “First Elder, to be honest, I want to go to the family base this time. Unless the Dugu Family doesn’t want to cooperate, what happened outside might happen here. A corpse poison that had affected many is spreading overseas. Only Miss Fu Meng can cure it.”

Dugu Shuang’s words caused a stir in the crowd. Even Xiao Ba and the rest looked at each other. How had they never heard of this matter?

Although they had not heard of it, the first elder knew something. He glanced at Dugu Shuang and said with a serious expression, “Missy, regarding this… I will discuss it with the Old Master.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”

The first elder lowered his eyes, his expression changing. However, Xiao Ba saw the first elder’s expression and knew that the first elder seemed to be leaning towards Dugu Shuang.

“First Elder, didn’t we agree to let the more outstanding one enter?” Xiao Ba frowned. “It’s not good to go back on your words, right?”

The first elder glanced at him and remained silent.

“Wait.” The man suddenly raised his brows. “Wait, repeat yourself. You know who cured the poison?”
