Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 629: How Dare You be so Arrogant towards Her?

Upon hearing this, the look of anticipation on the seventh elder’s face immediately disappeared. He then sighed. “I was thinking too much. It’s already not bad that the Dugu Family can produce Dugu Heng and Dugu Ji-An. How can there be a third one? The next batch of disciples is going to enter the core bureau. Bring Missy to the room of the pre-selection people at the foot of the mountain to rest. Let her in after the selection competition begins.”

The old man didn’t say anything else and just nodded.

Dugu Ji-An frowned at this arrangement. However, he didn’t feel that the Elder Cabinet was specifically targeting Su Huiqing. Hence, he turned and said to Su Huiqing, “The Dugu Family’s rules are like this. Back then, when the head of the Dugu Family and I came, we also stayed at the foot of the mountain for a few days. During the selection competition, no one was allowed to enter. However, according to Missy’s strength…”

“Alright, that’s it.” Su Huiqing waved at him. “This is where girls live. Hurry up and leave.”

Su Huiqing lived on the second floor, which was for the girls who came to participate in the competition.

There were not many people on the second floor. Other than Su Huiqing, there were five other girls. Su Huiqing guessed that there were more boys here.

Su Huiqing had seen one of these five people before. She looked very simple and had an average aptitude. She was just at the third level and was right beside Su Huiqing.

She saw that Su Huiqing was unfamiliar and had an unfamiliar name. Thinking that Su Huiqing should be a small fry like her who came to the Dugu Family from a remote place, she immediately hugged Su Huiqing.

She heard that the other four girls had come over on the first day. All of them were people related to the Dugu Family. One of them had a father who was the head of the Dugu Family, the other had a grandfather who was the manager of the Dugu Family’s guards, and the other had worked for the Dugu Family for generations.

The last one had the greatest background. Her grandpa was the highest-ranking elder in the Elder Cabinet, and her father was one of the candidates for the next head of the Dugu Family.

Such a background was outstanding even in the entire Dugu Family, not to mention in this small building.

“Aren’t you curious?” After the girl beside her said that, she saw that Su Huiqing didn’t look curious at all. She couldn’t help but feel strange. She felt that this girl in front of her had an indescribable strange feeling, but she couldn’t tell what was strange.

“I am more curious about why there is no wireless internet here.” Su Huiqing sighed.

After she said that, the girl beside her—who was known as Lu Zhenzhen—was speechless. “Su Huiqing, where did this weird person like you come from? Our island is rather remote. The people from the Elder Cabinet also want to prevent us from being addicted to the Internet. Therefore, only the center of the Elder Cabinet has a wireless network.”

Su Huiqing: “…”

She lowered her head and sent Chi Yue a message.

Among the five people on the second floor—other than Su Huiqing and Lu Zhenzhen, the rest seemed to be trying their best to grasp the last moment and rarely left the house.

Only when Dugu Shuang came did the people on the second floor seem to come alive. Even Lu Zhenzhen knew her, not to mention the others on the second floor.

Dugu Shuang had only returned because the selection competition would start tomorrow. She didn’t care about the others on the second floor until she saw Su Huiqing. She paused. “This lady looks very unfamiliar.”

Dugu Shuang had been praised since she was young. This was the first time she saw someone who didn’t lose to her in terms of looks and aura.

She had a strong feeling that this person in front of her was a huge threat.

“Su Huiqing.” Su Huiqing glanced at her mildly before reporting her name and returning to her room.

Upon hearing Su Huiqing’s name, Dugu Shuang heaved a sigh of relief. She was neither familiar nor from the Dugu Family.

Su Huiqing returned to her room and took out her phone to play games.

Lu Zhenzhen followed in and wasn’t surprised. She said in exaggeratedly, “That’s Dugu Shuang. You’re actually so arrogant towards her…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Su Huiqing massaged her temples. “There is wireless Internet in the room. The password is eight zeros.”

Lu Zhenzhen took out her phone and saw that there was indeed new wireless Internet. She entered the password and realized that this password could indeed be entered. “Miss Su, where did you get the wireless Internet?”

She looked at Su Huiqing in shock.

“Let’s play the game properly. Isn’t that good?” Su Huiqing glanced up.

This time, Lu Zhenzhen didn’t speak anymore. She just looked at Su Huiqing with more and more curiosity. In the beginning, her view of Su Huiqing was very simple. She thought that she was just a small fry who came to the Dugu Family with her abilities. After all, she was the only one in her entire family who managed to get into the Dugu Family.

However, now, she had quietly installed wireless Internet in her room. How did she do it?

…

At the core of the Dugu Family…

Dugu Zhuo glanced at his daughter and shook his head slightly. “I didn’t expect Dugu Heng to have another child besides Dugu Ji-An. However, this daughter isn’t as ambitious as Dugu Ji-An. She immediately got someone to install the Internet.”

Madam Dugu placed the teacup on the table and smiled. “Since Su Huiqing knows you, Shuang’er, let’s go take a look tomorrow. Didn’t your senior brother from the Hua Family stay on the island? Just nice, Su Huiqing benefited.”

Dugu Shuang stood up with a nonchalant expression. “Whatever. I am going to prepare for tomorrow’s selection competition.”

She was initially still a little fearful of Dugu Heng’s rumored daughter. After all, Dugu Heng was indeed terrifying. She initially thought that his daughter was not simple either. However, she didn’t expect that, when Su Huiqing really arrived, she would then feel that she had overestimated this daughter.

Su Huiqing was even worse than one of her guards.
