Chapter 83: He Is Not That Astute

Su Ruohua took up her handbag and went home.

Her hands trembled all the way back.

Her mind echoed with the words that Qingqing told her that day: “I will get top marks for this exam.”

At this moment, her cell phone rang. It was Su Huiqing.

Su Ruohua took the call in a daze. But it was a bit noisy on the other end of the phone.

“Teacher Xie just called me. I wanted to wait until you came home to tell you personally. I never expected for news to travel so fast.” Su Huiqing was speaking into her phone, while Yu Xiangyang and Empress Su were fighting. It was too noisy. Covering the phone with one hand, she turned to look calmly at the pair. “Quiet.”

Empress Su’s claws were grasping Yu Xiangyang’s hair when Su Huiqing’s placid voice drifted over. It was so scared that it immediately retracted its claws and scuttled to the side.

Su Huiqing finally went back to her call. She placed one hand on the windowsill.

Su Ruohua’s rapid breathing could be heard on the other end.

“Mum.” Su Huiqing chuckled. “I achieved these top marks for you.”

She had achieved her results for Su Ruohua.

At the same time, this would also be her first step forward.

After her rebirth, this was the first time she had a good look at herself. She was not only the Chief of the Rapid Fire Mercenary Regiment but also part of the Green City’s Su Family.

She had no idea why so many people from the International a.s.sociation came to Green City, but this was not unheard of. Using the people of a remote city as an experiment site, with a ma.s.sacre as the final outcome…

Now, Green City had her family, her friends and those schoolmates who had stood resolutely behind her.

As long as she was around…

She would not let anyone taint this place.

Su Huiqing was right in her surmising. Not only that, it wasn’t just one person who had set his sights on Green City. There were quite a number of them.

And one was scarier than the next.

Chu Xuning only realized that a potion maker had arrived at Green City after receiving the invitation to the underground auction.

He sat smoking on a chair as he gazed at that bronzed invitation letter. He felt very grave.

A potion maker. Everyone knew they were not to be messed around with.

If a potion maker made up his mind to do something, even the Chu family didn’t have the power to stop him. After all, a potion maker held high status even within the International a.s.sociation.

Green City was filled with normal people. If they didn’t have Yu s.h.i.+jin holding down the fort, it would be a doomed affair to go against the International a.s.sociation.

He stopped hesitating and dialed a number.

It was quickly picked up and a cold, harsh voice answered. “What?”

“Master Yu.” Chu Xuning took a deep puff of his cigarette. “A potion maker has come to Green City.”

On the other end of the phone, Yu s.h.i.+jin looked on as Luxe interacted with the people in the laboratory of Unknown Island. He turned and gave a slight smile. “Who is it?”

“The underground auction is being tightly controlled, but I will have my men try to investigate.” Chu Xuning scratched his head before propping his feet up on the table in an agitated manner. “Master Yu, what do you think is happening with Green City?”

Yu s.h.i.+jin kept silent for a moment, but his eyes turned even more chilly. “I still have some things to settle in Unknown Island and need a few more days here. If anything happens in Green City… go find Su Huiqing.”

“Master Yu?” Chu Xuning was totally stunned. “We are talking about a potion maker!”

“I said to go find her.” He lowered his eyes slightly as he pointedly repeated his words.

He continued rather coldly. “Listen, her orders will be the equivalent of mine.”

Chu Xuning remained in a state of shock until his cigarette burned through and scorched his hand.

Yu s.h.i.+jin had already hung up.

Chu Xuning didn’t even know what expression he should be making.

Su Huiqing’s orders would be the equivalent of Master Yu’s…

Chu Xuning was completely confused.

The key issue was… the people whom Yu s.h.i.+jin left behind were all top talents. Would they listen to a young girl like Su Huiqing?!

The Zhang Family announced the underground auction of one bottle of basic-level potion in Green City. Within two days, many wealthy and influential people rushed over to bid for it.

The other bottle was diluted and sold to the commoners.

The Yu Family was directly impacted.

These days, no one came to buy medicines from the Yu Family. Their stocks remained in the warehouse while their finances declined.

Ye Yuan’s basic-level potion was eventually auctioned off at the high price of $25 million.

Actually, a basic-level potion wasn’t that effective for boosting psychic powers. In the International a.s.sociation, it was only worth about $10 million. But as this was the first time such a bottle appeared in an auction, the intense bidding atmosphere drove the price up.

Zhang Mingxi was grinning ear to ear when he emerged from the auction house. He noticed Old Master Yu who had come to watch the auction.

He couldn’t resist stopping and looking at Old Master Yu with scornful eyes. “Old Master Yu, let me give you one last chance. Don’t go against us. Look, nearly half of the Yu Family has already been destroyed because of you.”

Old Master Yu suppressed his anger. He looked at Zhang Mingxi and replied resolutely, “I stand by my belief.”

Without another look at Zhang Mingxi, he turned and left the auction house.

Behind him, Zhang Mingxi scoffed. “You stand by your belief? They say that Old Master Yu is very astute. But it looks like that’s just an empty claim.”
