Chapter 643: Conditions
Thus, even Old Master Dugu didn’t tell Su Huiqing that he was back.
Teacher Ming had expected all of this, but he didn’t mention anything about Su Huiqing. He just said mildly, “Let’s go.”
“Teacher Ming and I will work together to refine a high-level potion. As your Dugu Family only has two potions so… we can only try our best. I am not sure if we can protect Old Master.” Before Teacher Ming refined the potion, he said to the first elder and the rest.
The first elder and the rest naturally wouldn’t reject. They knew how difficult it was to refine potions. They just bowed deeply. “Thank you, Masters.”
Naturally, no one could watch the two of them refine potions. They stayed outside the potion room.
The seventh elder glanced at the potion room and then tilted his head slightly to look at the guard beside him. “Go investigate what happened to Xiao Ba? He reached the third level?”
“I find this strange, too. Logically speaking, with Xiao Ba’s aptitude, it’s already not bad for him to reach the third level before the age of 35. From the looks of it, we might have misjudged his aptitude.” The guard was Old Fifth which Xiao Ba talked to previously. “Missy likes Xiao Ba and wants him to follow her. Unfortunately, Xiao Ba rejected her.”
Old Fifth sighed.
Upon hearing Old Fifth’s words, the seventh elder narrowed his eyes. “Not necessarily. There’s something wrong with this matter.”
As he spoke, a guard came to report. “Elders, the navy has sent someone to inform you that the matters on the southern island have been settled. They will send someone over in two days to report.”
“Prepare the banquet.” The first elder nodded. “The leader should be Captain Ivan, right? Our Old Master is seriously injured this time. We really have to thank them. Otherwise, we won’t be able to protect an island.”
…
In Su Huiqing’s courtyard…
She took out a few herbs from her luggage.
Xiao Ba glanced at her and asked, “Missy, what are you doing?”
“Making potions,” Su Huiqing replied casually.
Xiao Ba didn’t answer right away but said in a low voice, “I just heard from Ah Chun next door that there are two guests in the Dugu Family. Old Master is also back. The first elder actually didn’t tell you.”
Su Huiqing crushed the potion into powder. “Xiao Ba…”
“Missy, you called me?” Xiao Ba immediately answered.
“Listen.” Su Huiqing glanced at him. “Can you be more feminine in the future[1]? Ah Chun, who is next door every day, says that you are making me a little mysterious.”
Xiao Ba: “…I’m manly.”
Su Huiqing gave a faint smile. “Are you sure?”
Xiao Ba: “…” I was initially sure, but looking at your gaze, I actually doubted myself.
However, after being interrupted by Su Huiqing, he actually forgot to complain that the first elder was biased towards Dugu Shuang.
Su Huiqing casually concocted a bottle of mid-level potion. When Dugu Jiyun came over, she tossed the bottle at the newcomer.
“Thank you, Sister Su.” Dugu Jiyun looked up at Su Huiqing. “Grandpa is back. Sister Su, do you want to go with me?”
“I won’t watch anymore. Ah Yun, go ahead. Remember to drink three bottles of this potion. Remember what you said previously?” Su Huiqing bent down slightly and rubbed her head.
“Of course.” Dugu Jiyun’s expression was grave. “I, Dugu Jiyun, am not resigned to fate. I want to be like Sister Su!”
“Ambitious. Let’s go.” Su Huiqing tossed her phone aside and lay down on the rattan chair in the courtyard.
When Dugu Jiyun came to the Dugu Family, Old Master Dugu treated her very well. She was naturally a reporter.
Although she was young, she knew that the first elder didn’t tell Su Huiqing on purpose. Thus, she didn’t look at the first elder and the rest well.
When she arrived, Potion Maker Yun and Mr. Ming had already finished refining the potion.
This time, the two of them had heaven-defying luck and successfully refined a bottle of high-level potion.
“I can’t cure Old Master’s illness.” After feeding Old Master the potion, Old Master’s condition didn’t improve. Even Potion Maker Yun shook his head. “Old Elder, Old Master Ming and I have tried our best. Your master’s five viscera are injured, and his blood has been contaminated. We are refining a high-level potion to heal me, but in this situation, it is obvious that he can’t absorb our potion. In this case, all we can do is help him survive for a month.”
Potion Maker Yun was right. Even Teacher Ming couldn’t refute him. Saying that their master would live for a month was already high praise.
Who could live for so long after their organs were severely damaged?
Luckily, Old Master was very powerful.
“A month?” Dugu Jiyun was stunned.
However, this time, she didn’t shout out directly like last time. She only sent Su Huiqing a message: “Sister Su, can you save Grandpa Dugu?”
Before receiving this message, Su Huiqing didn’t intend to get involved in this matter. She had other motives for returning to Dugu Island.
No matter what kind of person Old Master Dugu was, Su Huiqing’s hands were stained with blood.
Old Master Dugu was the only one who would get a free pass. She wasn’t that kind and just made a call. “Pass the phone to the seventh elder.”
“Seventh Elder, I can save your Old Master. The condition is 100,000 spirit coins,” Su Huiqing stood by the window and spoke indifferently.
When she saved Madam Murong, she had also given her savior 100,000 spirit coins. It was not too much.
