Chapter 267: I Like a Charity?
“Do you really think that I, Dugu Heng, am dead?! I am still in the International a.s.sociation, and yet you dare to bully my daughter like this! Let’s call Mr. Feng then. Since he doesn’t wish to teach students anymore, let him never teach anyone in this lifetime!”
Everyone turned around and saw Dugu Heng walking over with his hands behind his back.
Behind him was a large patch of sunlight, but no matter how strong the light was, it could not hide the cold glint on his face. That angry look made the second elder not dare to look at him directly.
“Master.” The first elder and the rest immediately retreated to the side, giving way to Dugu Heng.
Dugu Heng sat on his chair and scanned everyone in the room. When he saw Su Huiqing, his eyes warmed slightly. However, when he saw the second elder and the rest, he snorted.
“Butler, listen to me.” Dugu Heng looked directly at the butler. “Throw Mr. Feng out of the International a.s.sociation. Since he forgot his ident.i.ty, I will remind him.”
The butler’s expression remained unchanged. He replied seriously, “Yes, Master.”
Upon hearing that Dugu Heng wanted to chase Mr. Feng out, the expressions of the second elder, Dugu Xing, and the rest changed. They knew that Dugu Heng, this lunatic, would definitely do what he said.
“Master, isn’t this inappropriate?” The second elder braced himself and stepped forward. “Mr. Feng is famous in the International a.s.sociation…”
“What’s wrong?” Dugu Heng sneered. “Whoever doesn’t agree, ask him to look for me. If he doesn’t dare to look for me, just hold it in!”
His face was filled with rage, and the light in his eyes seemed to burn someone to ashes. When he saw the indignant glint in the eyes of those young disciples, he couldn’t help but sneer. “I haven’t cared about anything in the Dugu Family for so many years, but don’t forget who I am!
“Qingqing is my daughter. Initially, she told me not to interfere with her matters. I don’t want to argue with you on her account. Don’t think that she has no one backing her up! If this continues, I will move out with them!”
With that, he left with Su Huiqing.
The faces of the remaining people, including the first elder, changed.
Especially that young disciple who had been chosen by Mr. Feng. He was originally complaining about Su Huiqing, but upon hearing Dugu Heng’s words, his heart suddenly trembled. They knew very well why Mr. Feng had come to the Dugu Family.
If not for Dugu Heng, he would not have come to the Dugu Family…
The reason why no one dared to provoke the Dugu Family was mainly that Dugu Heng was around. If he wasn’t around… the consequences would be dire.
Dugu Heng’s face changed the moment he stepped out of the courtyard. He patted Su Huiqing’s shoulder and lowered his head. He couldn’t help but smile. “Princ.i.p.al Dien contacted me just now. The apprenticeship banquet will be held in three days.”
He knew that Su Huiqing really resembled him!
Without a word, Princ.i.p.al Dien accepted her as his disciple. Hearing Princ.i.p.al Dien’s tone, he was very happy with Qingqing.
“Very good. You can study well with Princ.i.p.al Dien in the future.” He patted Su Huiqing’s shoulder once again, and with a drop of his eyes, he recalled the group of people from the second elder hall.
His expression was not too good, but when he looked at Su Huiqing, he still smiled. “Go back and eat with your mother first. I have some matters to attend to.”
Su Huiqing smiled. She was still thinking about Princ.i.p.al Dien so she didn’t reject him.
She headed straight for Su Ruohua’s courtyard.
Mr. Feng had been sent out of the Dugu Family by Dugu Heng and would even remove his status as a member of the International a.s.sociation in a few days.
Seeing that the chance of Dugu Xing being accepted as a disciple by Mr. Feng had been spoiled by Dugu Heng, the second elder looked at Su Huiqing with a harsh gaze.
“Missy.” The second elder saw Su Huiqing walking towards the door and could not help but stop her. He concealed the coldness in his eyes.
“Because of you, the family head chased Mr. Feng out. Xing’er has a bright future ahead of her. Can you bring Xing’er along when you meet Princ.i.p.al Dien?”
Su Huiqing slowly took out her hand from her pocket and pointed a clean finger at her nose. She smiled obediently. “Second elder, do I look like a philanthropist?”
The second elder was stunned. “Of course… not.”
“That’s good. If you want me to beg Princ.i.p.al Dien, I thought you would take me for a fool.” Su Huiqing retracted her finger and glanced sideways at the second elder. Her tone was extremely mild. “Remember, be more obedient in the future.”
Those lowered eyes had a harsh glint in them. They were completely different from the nonchalance the second elder had previously seen.
With that, she turned and left.
The second elder, who was standing at his original spot, and Dugu Xing, who was hiding in the bushes, looked very gloomy.
…
Su Huiqing went out today to look for Yu Shijin. She heard that there was an overseas market. Su Huiqing wasn’t the only one here today. Dugu Xing and Yu Shiyue were there as well.
From afar, Yu Shiyue saw Su Huiqing. He had long heard Dugu Xing mention that Su Huiqing had asked Dugu Heng to chase Mr. Feng away. His eyes were filled with disgust. “Why would someone overseas give her the invitation? Why is she here?”
