Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 652: A Little Bold

Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes. Angry? Why should she be angry?

One had to know that a piece of land overseas was not cheap. Although it was just a piece of useless land, it was not something that could be bought casually overseas. At the very least, it required the permission of many powers.

Most importantly, this was a publicly acknowledged wasteland. There were no disputes between powers.

So… why would she be angry?

Su Huiqing smiled and followed that guard to the Elder Cabinet.

The seven elders sat at the table with grave expressions. The seventh elder’s face was the blackest.

Upon seeing Su Huiqing enter, the first elder’s expression softened. “Miss Su, it’s good that you are here. Let me tell you about the rules of our Dugu Family. There are fewer people in the Dugu Family’s generation. Usually, successful families will share a piece of territory. This is a right that every family descendant has when they grow up. Of course, other than the owner of a few families.”

The first elder could not continue.

If it was in the past, he would not feel any pressure towards Su Huiqing. However, it was different now. Su Huiqing saved the Old Master. No matter what, she was definitely not weak in terms of potions and abilities.

This was also a rare genius in the Dugu Family.

Putting Su Huiqing directly into the territory was equivalent to denying Su Huiqing’s identity as the successor.

The first elder didn’t wish to see such an outcome so he didn’t finish his sentence.

“Sister Su, don’t be so conflicted.” At this moment, Dugu Shuang slowly walked in from outside. She glanced at the two maps placed by the first elder and narrowed her eyes slightly. However, the frown disappeared in an instant. “The first elder chose two territories for you. Take a look.”

She placed two maps beside Su Huiqing. The maps were clearly marked, one big and one small.

“I didn’t expect the first elder to even take out that piece of land in the north for you, Sister Su.” Dugu Shuang pointed at the large map with both hands. “Back then, I asked the Elder Cabinet for it, but the elder couldn’t bear to give it to me.”

“Let her choose.” The seventh elder stood up and looked at Su Huiqing. “Missy, take a good look.”

The others didn’t move.

The first elder looked at Su Huiqing expectantly.

Young Master Gong had asked him to give Su Huiqing that piece of barren land in the north, but the first elder didn’t want to waste such a talent. What resources could that desolate land in the north give Su Huiqing?

It was a piece of land that a guard captain in the Dugu Family didn’t even want.

Thus, after pondering for a long time, he still released an island. Although it was small, it was also an island with medium resources.

If she could develop it well, Su Huiqing’s future would definitely not be mediocre.

He had taken a huge risk to do this so he hoped that Su Huiqing would make the right choice.

Su Huiqing swiped across the map. It was not too far away from the Dugu Family. It was not big, but it had a lot of resources. The first elder had put in a lot of effort.

Almost everyone in the Elder Cabinet looked at Su Huiqing nervously.

Su Huiqing smiled and casually picked up that big map. “I also think that this piece of land is big and very good.”

The seventh elder couldn’t help but roll his eyes when she picked up that big map.

What was the use of having so much land? Could the soil be eaten? Without borders and without profitable mines, were you using the soil to support your subordinates?

Dugu Shuang pursed her lips and smiled. “Sister Su, you have good taste.”

Su Huiqing folded the map and placed it in her pocket. She then looked up. “When is your birth month?”

Dugu Shuang didn’t expect Su Huiqing to ask such a question. She was stunned. “March.”

“Oh, I am February.” Su Huiqing patted her sleeves and stood up. “Then, First Elder and Seventh Elder, I will pack up first and prepare to go to my territory to take a look.”

At this moment, the first and seventh elders really expected better from her. They waved their hands, not wanting to say anything more to her.

Su Huiqing sighed as she walked. “It’s such a big place. Did I not choose well? Why are the two elders looking at me like this?”

“Missy, no matter how big it is, it’s just a wasteland! Do you understand? It’s just for ordinary people!” Xiao Ba glanced at Su Huiqing. “How are you going to develop after obtaining a wasteland? You don’t have any resources at all. How many times have I signaled with my eyes? Haven’t you seen it?!”

Su Huiqing dug her ears. “Perhaps your eyes are too small for me to see?”

Xiao Ba opened his mouth and was about to speak when Dugu Shuang chuckled.

“Miss Su, I have to thank you for not saving my mother. That’s why my mother had to be cured by Young Master Gong.” Dugu Shuang smiled warmly.

“Alright.” A low voice came from not far away. That Young Master Gong walked over from the darkness. He looked at Su Huiqing and said coldly, “Miss Su, don’t think that I can’t touch you just because you have the people from the Murong Family and General Yuan behind you. If you dare to touch my people again, it won’t be a wasteland for you.”

“Then, I really have to thank you for giving me such a precious piece of land.” Su Huiqing brushed her hair and said in a casual tone, “If you really dare, you are welcome to step on me. Tch, if you see me again, will I die first… or will you guys die first?”

Xiao Ba stood behind Su Huiqing and went crazy.

He gave Su Huiqing a crazed look. His eyes were about to cramp up, but Su Huiqing was still talking about this matter.

“You have some guts.” Young Master Gong glanced at Su Huiqing. “If it was anyone else, they might be afraid of the Murong Family and General Yuan. Unfortunately, Su Huiqing, you met me.”
