Chapter 281: Master Yu’s Call

Master Yu, Yu Shiyue, and the rest were still in a daze.

“Missy, I will settle this matter.” The Yu Family Head was the first to react. It was one thing for Lin Ming to lose, but it was another thing for him to injure someone again after losing.

Upon hearing this, Su Huiqing glanced at him with no emotions in her eyes.

The Yu Family Head heaved a sigh of relief. This matter concerned Yu Shiyue. If Su Huiqing didn’t give up, the Dugu and Yu families would definitely be at loggerheads.

However, in the next second, he relaxed.

Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes and kicked Lin Ming’s sword away. Lin Ming’s pupils constricted in fear. Before he could take a step back, Su Huiqing kicked him to the side.

At this moment, the flying sword landed!

It accurately pierced through Lin Ming’s right wrist and into the limestone slab on the back of his hand!

Su Huiqing said mildly without even turning her head. “Today’s incident has nothing to do with the Dugu Family. The reason why I hurt him is to tell you that it’s best not to touch my men. If any of you wish to seek justice, feel free to look for me.”

She didn’t say that Lin Ming had hurt someone behind his back. She didn’t say anything else.

No matter when, Su Huiqing never changed at all.

Be it teammates or friends, her protective personality had never changed. This was probably the reason why those people followed her closely.

At this moment, Yu Shizhao had finally broken through to the second level. There was still silence.

Su Huiqing stuffed her hands into her pockets and scanned the crowd. When she saw that the Yu Family Head didn’t speak, she smiled. “Master Yu, sorry to disturb you.”

With that said, she casually let the chief detective lead the way.

The surrounding Yu Family made way for her.

“Second Master, that good-for-nothing Yu Shizhao… he actually broke through to level two…” The young man from the Yu Family—who was beside Yu Shiyu—suppressed the regret in his heart and looked at Yu Shiyu. “He even defeated Lin Ming. How is this possible…?”

He wasn’t the only one who felt upset. Yu Shizhao and Dugu Ji-An had both broken through. It couldn’t be a coincidence.

They were no fools. Yu Shizhao’s innate talent was right there.

With that, he jumped from the first level to the second. They would not believe that it had nothing to do with Su Huiqing.

Thinking back to how they had mocked Yu Shizhao and disdained Su Huiqing’s little school and how Yu Shizhao had almost reached the sky in a single step, these people felt an indescribable sense of regret.

Yu Shiyue’s eyes darkened. “That Yu Shizhao hasn’t broken through for many years, right? Su Huiqing is indeed useful.”

He remained silent for a moment, unwilling to believe that Yu Shijin’s gaze was better than his. He then sneered. “That Su Huiqing sells potions to begin with. It’s not impossible for her to forcibly use potions to improve Yu Shizhao’s abilities.

“In the future, potions are useless unless they have high-level potions. I don’t believe she can waste so many high-level potions to these people!”

Although he said that, Yu Shiyue knew that Su Huiqing definitely had some tricks up her sleeves.

He didn’t know if it was her or the powerful person behind her.

To be able to give her so many herbs to help Yu Shizhao improve his spiritual power level, she must have a high-level potion maker behind her.

Yu Shizhao could still use potions to explain.

What about Dugu Ji-An?

Seeing Dugu Ji-An standing behind Su Huiqing with a respectful expression, Yu Shiyue took a deep breath. He must investigate this matter thoroughly.

…

“Miss Su, please enter.” The chief detective opened the door to the study room. Everyone, including the chief detective, stayed outside the study.

Only Su Huiqing entered.

Once she entered, she saw a lamp placed at the corner of the study. In the spacious space, there was only a swaying shadow.

Su Huiqing pushed away the stray hair on her forehead and looked at the lamp. For some reason, she felt that the lamp had an invisible attraction to it that made her involuntarily walk towards it.

Her clear eyes narrowed, seemingly deep in thought.

Just as she lifted her foot…

The study room suddenly lit up.

The fluorescent light mirror in the middle of the study room lit up. A tall and handsome figure suddenly appeared on it. As the figure appeared, the entire room seemed to have dropped by two to three degrees.

Su Huiqing stopped in her tracks.

She turned around. She immediately saw a projected figure.

Yu Shijin, who was overseas, also raised his eyes. Behind him, there seemed to be a large patch of sea. The sunlight reflected on his back made his entire face look especially cold.

Su Huiqing saw a complicated look in his clear eyes.

“What are you looking for me for?” Su Huiqing found a chair and sat down.

Her gaze was still on the lamp in the corner.

Yu Shijin pursed his lips. He stretched out a finger and massaged his temples. After a long while, Su Huiqing finally heard his deep voice. “Have you been overseas before?”
