Chapter 270: Pretending

Yu Shiyue still respected Principal Dien very much. Upon hearing this, he picked up the items and looked at them carefully. However, he couldn’t tell what they were.

Dugu Xing couldn’t tell how extraordinary these items were either.

Principal Dien looked at them and finally fixed his gaze on Dugu Xing. His expression was unreadable. “Since everyone says that you are more suitable, can you tell me what these things are?”

Dugu Xing immediately blurted out everything she knew.

Principal Dien was still listening with a serious expression. In the end, his expression had already turned cold. The others rarely saw Principal Dien like this and could not help but feel nervous.

“Do you think so, too?” He saw that everyone could not help but nod their heads. He sneered and reached out to pick up the purple herb that Su Huiqing had chosen from the start. “Do you know what this is? Purple Spirit King Grass only exists once every thousand years. Even if it’s placed overseas, it’s still a rare existence.”

With that, he tilted his head and got someone to pick up all the things he had thrown earlier.

Before Su Huiqing appeared, he had also considered other people in the International Association.

If it wasn’t for Su Huiqing, he probably could only choose Dugu Xing. However, just as that old man said, without Su Huiqing’s presence; who would want to compete with the highly-respected Dugu Xing?

“I hope that all of you will have better judgment.” Principal Dien asked someone to take out a book and pass it to the group of youths. He then looked at Yu Shiyue. “The Outer Heaven Mountain Tower. I hope all of you will understand.”

Dugu Xing received the book with trembling hands.

The more Yu Shiyue stood beside her, the more shocked he became.

It recorded some items that Su Huiqing chose. The more valuable it was, the later it showed up and the more they saw what Su Huiqing had bought.

One or two of them was a coincidence, but it was too much of a coincidence.

Dugu Xing stood rooted to the ground. Thinking back to how she had acted so arrogantly in front of everyone, her face turned pale, and she felt utterly ashamed.

She felt a little fearful, but she quickly thought about it.

Both her companies were overseas, and Su Huiqing didn’t have any spirit energy. Even if Su Huiqing could win over the hearts of most people, she still couldn’t beat the fact that she was just an ordinary person.

Dugu Xing gradually calmed down.

Not far away, the old man kept his stall and walked out of the street with a wine pot.

Su Huiqing took the herbs that Principal Dien brought over and casually threw them into the chief detective’s hands. She raised her eyes slightly. “Did you just throw these precious herbs at an idiot?”

The chief detective glanced at Su Huiqing. She still had one hand in her pocket, and her lips curled up slightly.

However, the chief detective could clearly feel that the other party was not in a good mood so he silently took a step back.

Principal Dien didn’t care about Su Huiqing’s words. He knew that she was unhappy because of his own actions and pretended not to see it. He then looked at Yu Shijin solemnly. “Master Yu, do you have something important to discuss?”

Yu Shijin retracted his gaze. His tall and slender figure appeared slightly stern under the sun. He handed a bottle of water to Su Huiqing before replying to Principal Dien, “Okay.”

With that, he looked down at Su Huiqing.

Su Huiqing didn’t wish to see Principal Dien. She just waved her hand and told them to leave quickly.

At this moment, Yu Shiyue didn’t care about Dugu Xing. Instead, he couldn’t help but look in the direction of Su Huiqing and Yu Shijin. He never expected Su Huiqing to really know these things. Moreover, Principal Dien didn’t seem to be forced to accept Su Huiqing as his disciple.

However, his investigation was not wrong. Su Huiqing had always been in Green City. Not to mention overseas, she had never even come into contact with people from the International Association. How could she know these things?

He was still hesitating when he saw Su Huiqing walking towards the street.

He took a few steps forward to stop her and looked at her with a probing gaze. “I heard that your limelight in the Dugu Family is even greater than Miss Xing’s? It’s all because of that cousin of mine, isn’t it?

“Unfortunately, I know my cousin’s personality very well. You aren’t the first woman he got close to either. I remember that a year ago, he took a Missy with the surname Su and returned to the Yu Family. However, on the first day he returned, he chased her out.

“He was so heartless that he didn’t even care about his biological parents. If you think that he can protect you forever, you must have made a mistake.”

Yu Shiyue never really understood Su Huiqing. He only heard rumors about her from others. However, no matter what, Su Huiqing was just an ordinary person from a small place.

Thus, Yu Shiyue would rather believe that it was all Yu Shijin’s doing. “Yu Shijin can help you for a while, but he won’t help you for the rest of his life. Don’t offend Miss Xing to death. By then, no one in the International Association will protect you, and you will shoot yourself in the foot.”

Su Huiqing lowered her eyes. Yu Shiyue could not see the expression in her eyes.

The next second, she raised her head, her face full of indignation like a cynical young girl. “The Dugu Family belongs to my dad. What’s wrong with taking back what belongs to me?”

Seeing her like this, Yu Shiyue completely dispelled his suspicions and frowned in disgust. “You have to live to enjoy something that doesn’t belong to you!”
