Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress Chapter 217 - Unfathomable

Chapter 217: Unfathomable

At this moment, everyone, including the Dugu Family matriarch, dared not speak.
Su Huiqing just looked at her like this.
Under the sunlight, her eyes showed an obvious distinction between black and white, yet obviously also cold and harsh.
“Qingqing.” Unknowingly, Dugu Heng and Su Ruohua came out from the house. Su Ruohua spoke.
It was hard to tell their feelings from their faces.
“On account of my mother, I’ll let you off this once.” Su Huiqing released her hand and the Dugu Family matriarch fell to the ground with a thud.
Yet, at this time, no one dared to help her up.
Su Huiqing placed her hand into her pocket leisurely, turned her head, and smiled brightly at Su Ruohua and Dugu Heng brightly. “When did the two of you come out?”
It was as if that murderous person wasn’t her.
Seeing her indiscreet glance, everyone couldn’t help but take a step back.
She actually dared to behave so arrogantly towards the Dugu Family matriarch right in front of Dugu Heng.
Most importantly, she moved very fast. That fox wasn’t simple either.
Such level of skills… they had only been seen in Dugu Heng!
The helpers and bodyguards looked at each other as they changed their opinions of Su Huiqing in their hearts. They had thought that they were ordinary people from a small place—who knew that Su Ruohua and that daughter of hers weren’t simple at all!
“I got the butler to prepare food that you like. Go on in.” Dugu Heng smiled at Su Huiqing with a very calm expression without the least hint of anger.
With one hand in her pocket and the other on Su Ruohua’s shoulder, Su Huiqing observed Dugu Heng seriously.
Seeing that he wasn’t angry at all, she gave him merit in her heart.
She didn’t care about the Dugu Family’s business, their powers, or exactly what happened between the two of them.
Although she only needed to look for Apollo to get a clearer picture, she believed Su Ruohua’s judgment.
She only cared if Dugu Heng was genuine towards Su Ruohua—it seemed like she need not worry.
After the two of them entered the house, Dugu Heng didn’t leave. Instead, he stood on the spot and took a look at the Dugu Family matriarch with utter disappointment. “Do you know what’s your worth already?”
The Dugu Family matriarch didn’t expect that not only did Dugu Heng not punish Su Huiqing, he said that about herself. Her heart sank.
The worst situation that she could imagine finally happened.
Since that mother and daughter arrived, she had lost her status completely.
“Granny,” Dugu Wu only dared to help the Dugu Family matriarch up after Dugu Heng left. “Are you okay?”
“With… the two of them around, how can I be okay?” The Dugu Family matriarch had wanted to say “the two wretched people”, but thinking of Su Huiqing’s chilly eyes just now, she actually couldn’t say it.
“Wu-er, listen up.” The Dugu Family matriarch’s eyes turned ruthless. “We definitely can’t let people with other surnames take things that belong to our Dugu Family away. You must never give up what belongs to you to that Su Huiqing!”
She was very clear that according to Dugu Heng’s actions, he would definitely do everything that the Dugu Family had to that mother and daughter one day.
This was also what she couldn’t take the most.
She couldn’t understand her son’s thoughts. Dugu Heng was rarely at home and the total time they had met was less than a year. The Dugu Family matriarch didn’t know what Dugu Heng was thinking now.
Although previously, she had hoped that Dugu Heng would settle down, it was definitely not to marry an ordinary person who was divorced.
If this got out, it would be a laughing stock.
Moreover, the other party was merely just a small vendor from Country Hua.
She wasn’t even fit to carry shoes for the Dugu Family.
“Let’s go look for the Ye Family.” The Dugu Family matriarch reached out and tidied her hair with chilly eyes.
In the living room of the Dugu Residences.
Su Ruohua sat on the sofa as she watched Su Huiqing leaning back on the sofa leisurely and couldn’t help but say with a frown, “Qingqing, don’t be so rash next time.”
She was very glad about Qingqing’s protectiveness of her, but this was the Dugu Family…
Su Ruohua was very clear about the Dugu Family’s influence in the International Association. Based on the Dugu Family matriarch’s character, she definitely wouldn’t let it rest. While she could risk herself, she couldn’t risk Qingqing.
She looked down, thinking that she still needed to consider Dugu Heng.
No matter what, she would definitely not let Qingqing weather the storms.
“Mother,” Su Huiqing grabbed the spinning phone in her hand, looked over at Su Ruohua with her elegant eyes, and said with a somehow leisurely tone, “I’ve said it before—do whatever you feel like and I’ll be your backup. Even if the Bai Family gets involved, you still have nothing to fear.”
Beneath those clear eyes hid a tinge of harshness.
Based on her current progress, she wouldn’t need too long to regain her identity.
Of course, even without returning to Unknown Island, the people under her control might not be weaker than the Dugu Family.
However, at this point, Su Ruohua didn’t know that Su Huiqing secretly held massive powers.
Especially the Demon Concentration Camp.
Su Huiqing cupped her hands behind her head and couldn’t help but leisurely think how to gently tell this information to her mother as well as the Su Family so as not to scare them.
After all, the daughter that she had raised for almost twenty years suddenly transformed into the Queen of Mercenaries.
This was unbelievable to anyone.
She was very clear that right now, Su Ruohua and the rest were still fearful towards the International Association.
All in all, Su Huiqing was somewhat satisfied with this meeting with the Dugu Family.
As for the Dugu Family matriarch, as long as she behaved from now on, on account of Dugu Heng and Su Ruohua, she wouldn’t touch her either.
“Dugu Heng, I need to reconsider this.” Only after Su Huiqing left did Su Ruohua look at Dugu Heng with a calm and graceful expression.
Dugu Heng knew what she was referring to. “If you’re worried about my mother, I’ll take care of it.”
Su Ruohua took a step back, looked at Dugu Heng like she never did before and spoke with a calm voice, “The barrier of your Dugu Family is too high. I can’t disregard Qingqing. Let me rethink this.”
She took her bag and left.
Vexed, Dugu Heng lit a cigarette but didn’t follow her. Instead, he turned and looked at the butler. “What do you think of Miss Su?”
The butler lowered his gaze. Knowing that he was referring to Su Huiqing, he only uttered a word. “Unfathomable.”
Her skills were really extraordinary.
Dugu Heng blew a smoke ring and didn’t speak more about the butler’s review. Instead, he instructed with a mysterious look in his eyes, “Get a team to follow Ruohua—don’t let anything happen to her.”
The butler was shocked but recovered quickly and nodded silently.

Su Huiqing returned to the Monster University and threw the car keys to Yu Xiangyang.
The two of them were at the Monster University’s potion room.
The Monster University’s courses were diverse—even those in the same classes might not be from the same disciplines.
Yu Xiangyang majored in potions.
“You’re rather skillful to actually concoct a basic-level potion so quickly. Moreover, this has 65% purity.” The potion teacher gazed at Yu Xiangyang, her eyes full of satisfaction.
In his many years of teaching, this was the first time he had seen such an outstandingly talented student.
Even that freak from the Ye Family paled in comparison.
Hearing the praise, Yu Xiangyang couldn’t help but look towards Su Huiqing who was working on the last row of experiment tables as he didn’t take the teacher’s praise to heart. Only he knew…
That compared to Su Huiqing, he was still far behind.
If the others were to know that this bottle of potion of his was criticized by Su Huiqing to no end, or… that Su Huiqing was a master potion maker, it would definitely alarm everyone.
Seeing that Yu Xiangyang wasn’t arrogant or hasty, the potion teacher was even more impressed by him.
Yu Xiangyang took his test tube and walked up to Su Huiqing.
He saw that she was jabbing her hair with a silver needle.
Yu Xiangyang’s hand trembled. “…Qingqing, what are you doing?”
Su Huiqing’s hand paused before she reached out, pulled the silver needle from the top of her head, and spoke mildly, “A slight stimulation.”
“Stimulation?” Obviously, Yu Xiangyang didn’t follow Su Huiqing’s train of thought.
Su Huiqing merely smiled.
Her lowered eyes were slightly mysterious—yes, stimulation.
She recalled that a medical book in her mind—stimulating her brain with silver needles could possibly stimulate her lost memories.”
Lost.
Till now, Su Huiqing finally confirmed that she had forgotten something important.
Su Huiqing purified the potion beside her hand while she continued thinking about this matter. However, her current body wasn’t her original one either, so it might not work to stimulate it.
She reached out and pressed on her temples.
After such a long stimulation, she still couldn’t feel any restoration of memories at all.
“I’m going back to my room.” Su Huiqing placed the herbs in her hands aside and said to Yu Xiangyang.
Yu Xiangyang didn’t ask her either. Instead, he said without looking up, “Go ahead. Let’s gather Qu Yan and the rest to eat out later.”
When the potion teacher came over.
He saw that Su Huiqing pulled up the zipper of her clothes, retrieved a book, and left.
Under the light, this figure was too suave.
He strode up to Su Huiqing’s seat. As he leisurely placed the potion that Su Huiqing purified onto the testing device, he rattled on. “I wonder what is a natural talent in medicine doing in my potion class, causing that old fogey from the medical school to look for me and request for her everyday.”
With a “ding”, the purification result was out.
That teacher had originally glanced past it. Suddenly, his pupils constricted as he stared at the purification, stunned. “Pur… pur… purification level of… 9… 90%?”
