Chapter 709: It’s Her, Right?

“Qingqing, rest for a while.” Qu Yan took a cup of water and poured a cup for Su Huiqing. When she saw Su Huiqing taking a sip without even lifting her head, Qu Yan couldn’t help but sigh.

Recently, she did not play games. Yu Xiangyang stayed at the potion laboratory all day long. Now that there was Yang Chen in the laboratory with him, he had to busy himself with the potion and study the things that Su Huiqing gave them.

“Why?” Su Huiqing stood up and picked up the document that she had just printed. Upon hearing this, Qu Yan could not help but turn her head. Even though Su Huiqing looked tired, her face was as exquisite as before.

Qu Yan frowned. “Aren’t you going out to meet Master Yu later? Leave this to me.”

“You?” Su Huiqing smiled. She looked at Qu Yan. “No, Miss Qu, do you know this?”

She pointed at the picture on the computer.

Qu Yan immediately replied, “Gu Li will…”

After speaking for a while, Qu Yan stopped because she suddenly recalled that Gu Li had gone out with Chi Yue.

Su Huiqing’s slightly indifferent voice continued. “Alright, continue looking at your things. I will be done soon.”

With that, she returned to the computer and focused on the diagram.

Qu Yan didn’t calm down, but she didn’t disturb Su Huiqing. She just sat in her seat. When Dugu Xiyuan entered, she said without rhyme or reason, “Uncle Dugu, am I very useless?”

Dugu Xiyuan: “Huh?”

“Qingqing and the rest know everything except me.” Qu Yan lowered her head. “I can’t help them…”

The more Qu Yan thought about it, the more useless she felt. In the past, she didn’t realize that Gu Li, Yu Xiangyang, and Su Huiqing were all by her side. Whenever she lost a game, she would pester Gu Li and Su Huiqing to help her win it back.

However, recently, she realized that these three people were exceptionally busy. Su Huiqing had issued missions to everyone except her.

As for her, she usually wanted Gu Li to handle everything. Now that they were gone, she felt that she was really useless.

“I am so useless.” Qu Yan stood up. “Uncle Dugu, I am going to the training room. I can’t let myself go down.”

With that, she left without giving Dugu Xiyuan a chance to speak.

Dugu Xiyuan and Fifth Brother were dumbstruck.

“Manager.” Fifth Brother beside Dugu Xiyuan looked at the other. “Does Miss Qu… have some misunderstanding about herself?”

A sixth-level expert actually said that she was useless? Then, what were those lower than her? Were they scum?

Dugu Xiyuan actually wanted to say the same thing: ‘Miss Qu, you didn’t even recognize yourself properly!’

However, Qu Yan left before he could say anything.

Dugu Xiyuan suddenly recalled Su Huiqing’s words. He looked at that Fifth Brother earnestly. “What I’m most afraid of is not someone prettier and more handsome than you, but someone prettier and more handsome than you—and yet more hardworking than you.”

Seeing Fifth Brother’s respectful expression, Dugu Xiyuan didn’t speak, but he vaguely knew why Qu Yan did this.

It was probably because Su Huiqing felt safe being friends with her. However, at the same time, she felt a little too pressured. This person was too devilish.

Su Huiqing finished her work and went to look for Yu Shijin.

She had been too busy these two days. When she went to look for him, he was in a hotel, but he didn’t know who he was meeting.

When she saw Su Huiqing, Yu Qin immediately took out her phone and informed Yu Shijin. Su Huiqing raised her hand to stop her.

“It’s fine. I will wait for a while.” Su Huiqing leaned against the wall by the hotel door and started to think about the recent problems.

Seeing Su Huiqing like this, Yu Qin didn’t ask her for the specific reason. She wanted to talk to Su Huiqing about recent events, but when she saw Su Huiqing’s lowered eyes, she didn’t say anything.

Upstairs…

Yu Shijin was meeting Old Master Zhuge.

“I didn’t expect to see you again.” When Old Master Zhuge saw Yu Shijin, he didn’t have much of an expression on his face. He just sighed. “I thought you would never come back again.”

“I thought so, too.” Yu Shijin calmly played with the lighter in his hand. The blue light flickered many times and lingered beside the cigarette for a long time, but he never lit it.

In the end, he seemed to have given up. He threw the cigarette on the table and looked at Old Master Zhuge with his pitch-black eyes. “When are you leaving?”

Anyone who heard such a cold tone would feel a little fearful.

“There are still a few talented students. It should be ten days after I leave after instructing them.” Old Master Zhuge still smiled and answered, not caring about Yu Shijin’s gloomy expression.

“I know she went to look for you. I hope you know your place within these ten days.” Yu Shijin knocked on the table. When he looked at Old Master Zhuge, Old Master Zhuge could almost see the coldness in his eyes.

Old Master Zhuge’s fingers paused as if he didn’t hear the threat in Yu Shijin’s tone. He suddenly said, “May I ask, previously… that person should be Miss Su?”
