Chapter 700: Dark Horse
Elder Yu glanced at him. “Other than the twenty of them, no one else knows. But the moment the nineteen of them left the island, that island exploded. Its power… is very similar to Apollo’s level seven weapon.
“So I suspect…” Elder Yu looked at the words on the computer screen.” This person is very likely the person from back then. Not everyone can easily create a level seven weapon. Those nineteen people were saved by TA. Now, almost every one of them is the head of the family, but half of them—like Young Master Lu and the rest—completely retreated overseas after that incident. Have you ever thought that, if TA is really still around, who do you think these nineteen people will listen to? ”
Upon hearing the elder’s words, these people drew a cold breath.
It was indeed a long time ago.
Fifteen years ago, they were still a small guard in the training camp. How could they know what happened overseas?
Qu Yan and the rest also looked at one another. These matters were too far away for them. Fifteen years ago, they were only about five years old. Yu Xiangyang might have even fought with Su Huiqing.
He wasn’t sure, but he was shocked.
According to the elder, that person was only ten years old at that time. At the age of ten, he could create a level seven weapon on a deserted island.
Yu Xiangyang took a deep breath. “I really want to know what kind of person he is.”
“I don’t know either.” The elder shook his head. “At that time, after we knew about this matter, we asked those nineteen people to draw a few pictures. We wanted to see if that person was still alive. However, no one drew those nineteen people, including Young Master.”
“Why?” Yu Han frowned. “Is it because they don’t know how to draw?”
“That’s not it.” The elder smiled, his gaze still deep. “I think something happened on the island. We don’t know what it is, but these nineteen people never mentioned anything about the island.”
Upon hearing the elder’s words, Yu Xiangyang and Qu Yan could not help but look at Su Huiqing. The elder and the rest did not know, but he and Qu Yan knew very well that this picture was drawn by Su Huiqing.
However, Yu Xiangyang also touched his head and felt that it couldn’t be Su Huiqing. After all, it had happened fifteen years ago. At that time, Su Huiqing was only five years old. Not to mention if she would come here.
However, Yu Xiangyang still remembered that when he was five years old, he had followed Zhang Mingxi and met Su Huiqing. At that time, with Su Huiqing’s stupidity, she would not be able to create such a terrifying level seven weapon.
Su Huiqing narrowed her slightly cold eyes.
Actually, she was also a little curious so she stood up and glanced at the computer screen.
Yu Han was also pointing at that name.
Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes.
Su Huiqing’s reaction made Qu Yan lean over curiously. The two of them froze.
“What’s wrong?” Yu Qin couldn’t help but ask.
Qu Yan snapped out of her trance and wiped her face. “You said she is the person you are investigating?”
She pointed at the two words on the screen.
“Is there a problem?” Yu Qin was stunned.
Upon hearing this, Qu Yan looked at Su Huiqing. Su Huiqing had already picked up her phone and started a game. She said faintly, “Why are you investigating her? Perhaps the person you are talking about is playing a game.”
Upon hearing Qu Yan’s words, Yu Xiangyang also glanced over. Two black words appeared in front of him—Su S!
“What are you standing there for?” Su Huiqing kicked Yu Xiangyang. “Brother Murong is calling you in the group.”
Yu Xiangyang glanced at Su Huiqing before taking his phone to contact Murong Bai.
Elder Yu and the rest were thinking about the problem of those nineteen people and naturally didn’t notice the difference between the two of them. Even if they did, they wouldn’t think too much.
…
Meanwhile, the Hua Family was also facing a similar situation as the Murong Family.
However, unlike the Murong Family, the elders of the Hua Family were very calm. The youths of the Hua Family were the ones who were not calm.
Hua Guangwen had always been on good terms with Dugu Shuang. Yesterday, he learned from Dugu Shuang that she knew Fu Meng. Thus, when Old Master Zhuge appeared, he got someone to contact Fu Meng.
Fu Meng was initially unwilling to meet Hua Guangwen, but thinking that Dugu Shuang and she had to look for Hua Guangxuan for something, she didn’t say anything and agreed to meet the Hua Family.
Before Fu Meng arrived, the Hua Family Head was talking to Hua Guangwen. “I asked you to contact Miss Su previously. Why did you hang up?”
At the mention of Su Huiqing, Hua Guangwen was stunned for a moment. However, he reacted after a moment. “I’m not familiar with her. Moreover, she left the Dugu Family.”
“Left the Dugu Family?” The Hua Family Head was stunned. “Isn’t she Dugu Heng’s daughter? Why did she leave just like that?”
“She does control a piece of territory.” Hua Guangwen lowered his eyes. “She doesn’t seem to want to bother about me.”
“Territory?” The Hua Family Head nodded. “At her age, this is also good. Develop the territory well. When she returns to the Dugu Family, her power will increase. Perhaps she will be the second Dugu Heng in the Dugu Family. Even the elders can’t resist her.”
Upon hearing the Hua Family Head’s words, Hua Guangwen shook his head. “Dad, you don’t know. Miss Su chose that wasteland in the north of the overseas center.”
“That wasteland?” The Hua Family Head was shocked. “No way…!”
“It’s true. I’ve confirmed it.” Hua Guangwen shook his head. “You haven’t been paying attention to this recently so you naturally don’t know.”
Upon hearing his son’s words, the Hua Family Head couldn’t help but shake his head. “What a pity. Such a good seedling. What do the elders of the Dugu Family do?”
The Hua Family Head was very envious of the Dugu Family for having such a descendant. With such talent, she could become a tyrant overseas with just a little carving.
Unexpectedly, the elders of the Dugu Family were so foolish to give such a talented child a wasteland.
The head of the Hua Family in the north had also heard that there was no mineral vein there, no merchants from various families, and even no city wall. There were only a few houses and then some ordinary people.
Although it was a prosperous center a hundred years ago, it gradually declined because of the mineral vein.
The Hua Family Head really didn’t understand why those elders of the Dugu Family were so magnanimous as to let Su Huiqing go to such a wasteland.
No matter how powerful a genius was, without the support of resources, it was not enough to grow. This was an iron-clad fact overseas. That was why these families treasured every developed area they occupied and the resources within.
“What’s there to pity?” Hua Guangwen narrowed his eyes and sighed. “She chose this path herself. In the end, Elder Dugu gave her a resource island five kilometers away, but she rejected it. Let’s not talk about it. Miss Fu Meng is here.”
“Seriously…” The Hua Family Head was even angrier.” What is this Dugu Family thinking? They actually let her choose. They definitely have to force that island on her!”
Unexpectedly, the Hua Family Head had such a big reaction. Hua Guangwen was somewhat puzzled. “Dad, Miss Fu Meng is here. Didn’t you want to see Miss Fu Meng previously? She just attended Old Master Zhuge’s disciple recruitment ceremony and is probably Old Master Zhuge’s disciple now. Why are you still pitying that Miss Su?”
“Isn’t this a pity?” The Hua Family Head waved his hand. “This Miss Su is really a seedling. If we really compare, Fu Meng might not be able to compare to her. Forget it, let’s go see Fu Meng.”
The two of them walked into the study.
Hua Guangxuan had just finished his mission. After asking the guard, he walked towards the study with a cigarette in his mouth.
Before he reached the study…
He heard a familiar voice.
“Master Hua, I told Young Master Hua that we want a 40% commission. Otherwise, our miracle doctor’s sect won’t refine potions for you.” This was Fu Meng’s voice.
Upon hearing this, Hua Guangwen said softly to the Hua Family Head, “In the past, it has always been this position. I finally found Fu Meng. Moreover, Fu Meng is now Old Master Zhuge’s disciple. In the future, we won’t have a chance to look for her. Dad, let’s agree to this condition.”
As he spoke, the door was pushed open, the noise followed by Hua Guangxuan’s casual voice. “Dad, what are you guys doing? So many people are participating in Old Master Zhuge’s disciple recruitment competition. What if there’s a dark horse?”
