Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 658: That’s How Her Taste Is

“Who is it? Don’t you know his name?” The first elder stopped in his tracks and looked at Dugu Shuang.

Dugu Shuang pursed her lips. “Isn’t he from the Yu Family? How would I know who he is? I have never seen him before!”

The first elder shook his head slightly and sighed. “But you also saw just now that Young Master Gong didn’t dare to openly go against him. He is Yu Shijin. You really don’t know this. When he made a name for himself in the older generation like us, you were just thirteen years old. Although I can’t estimate his strength… among the three big families overseas, one was forced to retire while the other two were forced out of the country by him. I didn’t expect him to actually come back now. It looks like, this time, it will be unfair here overseas again.”

Only then did Dugu Shuang raise her head in shock. “He’s that powerful? Thirteen years old? He appeared seven years ago?”

“That’s why I told you not to provoke him. Over the past seven years, he hasn’t changed at all. That’s why I could easily provoke him.” After the first elder finished speaking, he glanced at Dugu Shuang. “You are very smart. I won’t repeat myself. It’s good that you understand.”

Dugu Shuang lowered her head and remained silent.

However, she felt very upset.

At first, when Su Huiqing returned, Dugu Shuang asked around. When she heard those people’s descriptions of Su Huiqing and that she had met the lady before, she felt that Su Huiqing shouldn’t be a threat. However, unexpectedly, not only was Su Huiqing talented, but even the first elder feared the person beside her.

Also… Gong Yu, who had always been mysterious and omnipotent, could do nothing to him.

Beside her, Su Huiqing’s guards lowered their heads.

Suddenly, someone said, “Alright, although Miss Su is powerful, she still didn’t choose that island five kilometers away. Instead, she chose the wasteland now. Don’t you know where that is?”

“That’s right.” Upon hearing this, the guard—who was still depressed—suddenly snapped out of his trance and heaved a sigh of relief. “A desolate land without any resources. We don’t even know if we can reach the third level in the past, let alone develop in the future.”

“It’s a good thing that you didn’t choose us.” The captain of the guard nodded. “Forget it, let’s all go back. It’s better to go to the territory of any outsider than to Miss Su’s territory.”

Only then did all the guards realize this. Su Huiqing was strong.

That was right.

However, those who were not powerful did need resources.

Without resources, no matter how strong one was, they could only stop at that. As guards, they could only rely on their masters’ resources.

Now that Su Huiqing had chosen a wasteland, it didn’t matter if they had the resources or not. The guards felt bitter. Thinking of this, they heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, Su Huiqing didn’t choose them just now.

“Shuang’er, don’t think too much.” Dugu Ling knew her daughter’s thoughts and also knew what she was thinking. He just smiled. “No matter what, no matter how powerful she is, her territory is still a wasteland. She even signed a treaty that will forever belong to her. Seriously… just based on this, that daughter will never be your match in the future.”

Dugu Shuang’s eyes lit up.

That’s right. From the looks of it, there was still a chance.

Barren land… Su Huiqing, I thought you were very impressive, but I didn’t expect you to have such poor taste.

You didn’t want the island five kilometers away; in the end, you still chose a barren land!
