Chapter 771: I Remember

"No..." The first elder was stunned.

However, Chu Yi shook his head slightly. "Do you know who won the potion competition?"

Seeing the look of confusion on the first elder and the rest's faces, he finally understood. "It looks like you guys don't care about Miss Su at all. She beat Fu Meng in the potion competition a year ago. A few days ago, someone in our Chu Family was poisoned. It was also Miss Su who saved him."

With that, he ignored the first elder and the rest and just followed them to wait for Su Huiqing.

With them leaving Dugu Shuang and the rest standing there to look like they had seen a ghost, Dugu Shuang immediately called Fu Meng but didn't get through.

Chu Yi wanted to give Su Huiqing the map of the Chu Family. This was the hint that Gideon had given her. Actually, after she left the island, he had never seen her again until today.

Although this map was something that had been passed down from a long time ago, compared to the Chu Family's foundation, the Chu Family still chose Su Huiqing who saved the Chu Family. They only chose to bring the ancient map over after discussing it with many elders.

Su Huiqing was in the house, meeting Old Master Dugu. The table was lit with incense. Old Master looked at Su Huiqing with a gratified expression. "The world is about to change. Can I call you 'Qingqing'?"

Su Huiqing poured him a cup of tea. "Of course."

"I know why you are here." The old master had snow-white hair, but his eyes were deep and mysterious. He looked at the rising smoke in front of him and sighed. "After the butler returned from the wasteland, I knew that you wouldn't be in the Dugu Family in the future. I silently allowed you to participate in this test because I wanted to let the family see the difference between you and them. They are too arrogant."

With that, he looked at Su Huiqing without blinking. "Qingqing, promise me that if I die and the Dugu Family encounters danger, can you help those children?"

Su Huiqing froze. She wanted to take a sip of her tea, but she was shocked by Old Master Su's words. She moved her lips. "How could you...?"

She didn't say the word 'die', but it expressed this meaning. She couldn't feel the Old Master's power at all. It was obviously higher than hers. Very soon, it was either level nine or level ten.

How could anything happen to him?

"Some disasters can be escaped once, but not twice." Old Master shook his head slightly. "Qingqing, you just have to promise me."

Under his gaze, Su Huiqing nodded. "As long as I am alive, I will protect the Dugu Family."

However, she had the final say in the successor.

Only then did Old Master Dugu heave a sigh of relief. He turned around and entered the study room, returning with an envelope.

Su Huiqing looked at the envelope. She knew that it contained the last item she needed. Dugu Yusheng had already found out about this. However, when she got close to receiving this piece of paper, she was a little afraid. She didn't know what she would face next.

As she thought about it, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her temples. She took the envelope and walked out while massaging them.

"Miss Su, are you alright?" The person waiting for her outside didn't expect her to look pale. He couldn't help but ask.

Su Huiqing frowned and stuffed the envelope into her pocket. "Nothing. How did you find this place?"

The two of them walked towards Su Huiqing's courtyard.

Seeing that her expression was normal, he didn't care much. He just glanced at the surrounding people. There were many people in the courtyard. Xiao Ba and the guards came out, as well as Gu Li and the rest who were discussing something.

Su Huiqing knew that he was afraid. "Just say it here. It's fine."

There was nothing to hide from them.

Chu Yi then took out a wooden box.

Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes. "I will remember this."

"It's nothing. If it weren't for you, our Chu Family might have suffered a heavy blow." He smiled self-deprecatingly.

Su Huiqing didn't say anything else and just remembered this matter. The group didn't say anything else. After handing over the item to Su Huiqing, the man returned to his family to settle matters.

Su Huiqing locked herself in her room and took out a few ancient maps. She slowly pieced them together to find the exact location.

Su Huiqing only came out at night.

During this period, many people from the Dugu Family came, but Su Huiqing only met the first elder.

Su Huiqing said a few words to the first elder before pushing her way out. She glanced at Qu Yan, who was standing by the door, and couldn't help but massage her temples. "Let's go."

Qu Yan didn't move.

"Why?" Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes.

Qu Yan didn't speak and just pointed behind her.

She followed Qu Yan's finger and saw a figure standing with his back facing her.

The first elder also saw that figure, and his expression changed. "Master Yu? Why are you here?"

Yu Shijin slowly turned around and shifted his gaze to Su Huiqing. However, he was answering the first elder. "I am here to look for her. You don't have to bother about me."
