Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress Chapter 653 - Are You Sure?

Chapter 653: Are You Sure?

“What a coincidence. The person you met… is me.” Su Huiqing glanced at them with a faint smile before leaving with Xiao Ba.

Xiao Ba felt stifled throughout the entire process. “Missy, I didn’t expect Miss Shuang’er and Young Master Gong to be so ruthless.”

“What’s there to be ruthless about?” Su Huiqing smirked. “I’m afraid you haven’t played palace fights before.”

“Huh?” Xiao Ba could not understand what she meant.

However, there was a reason that he understood. Missy would be in a wasteland soon. Without resources, her skills would not improve. Moreover, Young Master Gong had just said that her life might be so ordinary.

This was a terrible blow to any genius.

However, Xiao Ba didn’t say anything in the end. He was afraid that he would agitate Su Huiqing. After he returned, she quietly packed his things and prepared to leave with Su Huiqing tomorrow.

After Su Huiqing returned to her room, she called Chi Yue. Firstly, she told him not to come to the Dugu Family. Secondly, she told him that someone had sent them a good base.

“Barren land…” Su Huiqing pursed her lips.

It still depended on who had it.

Tch, she had to talk to the Dugu Family before leaving. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if they went back on their words after she managed it well.

…

The next day, a few elders appeared at the door early in the morning.

The seventh elder took a deep breath. “Are you so eager to let Missy leave? Not even for a day?”

The first elder shook his head. “That person forced us to hurry. What can I do? Old Master has yet to wake up. If he wakes up, there might still be a chance of survival.”

As they chatted, Su Huiqing came out with Xiao Ba.

Seeing Su Huiqing’s flushed face and refreshed look, the elders couldn’t help but sigh. She could still have such a good att.i.tude despite being suppressed in such a state. They didn’t know what to say.

The other guards had more or less heard about it.

Firstly, they were curious about Young Master Gong’s ident.i.ty. Secondly, they were worried about Su Huiqing’s future. What was a territory without resources for?

“Miss Su, these guards belong to Uncle Heng’s men. If you go to the territory, your men naturally have to bring some people.” Dugu Shuang got someone to bring the guards out. “If you want to follow Miss Su, all of you stand out.”

However, no one was willing to step forward.

The seventh elder frowned.

Logically speaking, Dugu Shuang was not wrong. When the Dugu Family disciples were divided into territories, they had to bring a team of guards with them. After all, they were the successors. Most guards would not reject them. After all, if they followed the owner of the territory, they could more or less earn a high position in the future. It was much better than being a guard in the Dugu Family.

However, Su Huiqing was going to a wasteland now. Whether there was a future or not was up to each of them. The guards didn’t dare to risk their own future.

Dugu Shuang had already expected this scene. She pursed her lips and smiled at Su Huiqing.

Su Huiqing didn’t care. She waved her hand and prepared to leave after receiving a bag of things from the seventh elder.

A group of figures suddenly appeared in front of them.

“Captain Ivan?” The first elder recognized the person first and remembered that it was Ivan who handed over the matters to him that day.

Dugu Shuang also saw Ivan and recognized him as General Yuan’s man. She immediately smiled. “So it’s Captain Ivan. Are you here to hand over the island today?”

Dugu Shuang didn’t dare to offend them and could only try her best to rope them in. After all, they were the number-one team in the entire navy.

If the Dugu Family wanted to get along peacefully with General Yuan, they had to rope in this Ivan.

Ivan glanced at Dugu Shuang and the first elder. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Su Huiqing looking at him with raised brows. He immediately stopped and called out respectfully, “Miss Su.”

Lu Zhenzhen immediately squeezed over. “Miss!”

The people behind Ivan were also more respectful and bootlicking. “Miss Su, what a coincidence to see you again. Why are you at the Dugu Family?”

They felt ashamed when they looked down on Su Huiqing and the rest on the ship.

Now that he saw Su Huiqing, he naturally had to act friendly.

Su Huiqing glanced at Lu Zhenzhen before nodding mildly at Ivan. “I’m here to play. I’m leaving.”

Before Ivan could say anything, he heard the first elder’s surprised voice. “Captain Ivan, you know Miss Su?”

“Know each other?” Ivan glanced at the first elder. “Let me put it this way. I told you that the matter regarding Road Island has been resolved, right?”

“Yes.” The first elder’s voice was serious. “Thank you, Captain Ivan. I have already prepared a banquet.”

Hearing his words, Ivan shook his head and pointed in Su Huiqing’s direction. “No need to thank me. It’s all Miss Su’s credit. Without her, we might have lost half our people. I came today to tell you this. I didn’t expect to meet Miss Su in person.”

“You said that Miss Su saved the whole island?” The seventh elder suddenly raised his head and immediately grabbed Su Huiqing’s arm. “First Elder, in that case, Missy has contributed a lot to our Dugu Family. First, it was Old Master; then, it was the island. That wasteland in the north shouldn’t be hers!”

The first elder and the other elders were silent for a moment and didn’t object.

“So you guys are objecting to what I said?” Young Master Gong slowly walked out of the door and smiled at the elders. He then looked at Su Huiqing. “I didn’t intend to target you, but since you were seeking death last night, I might as well tell you this. No matter who interferes today, Su Huiqing, you are definitely going to this wasteland.”

At this moment, Su Huiqing didn’t have the chance to say anything. At this moment, a person not far away walked towards them against the light with a chilly aura.

A clear voice sounded. “Gong Yu, are you sure?”
