Chapter 354: I Must Visit Someone like That

The secret guard looked at the first elder’s dumbstruck expression and couldn’t help but find it extremely ridiculous. He felt that he shouldn’t argue with a frog in a well[1].

However, he could not openly mock the first elder. He was afraid that Su Huiqing would pinch him to death later on. If the secret guards had been fearful of Su Huiqing previously, it would have turned into respect now.

The first elder looked at the secret guard as though he was looking at a fool. The fear he had towards overseas instantly disappeared.

A person who couldn’t even be compared to Missy was actually quite famous. This gave the First Elder the illusion that a person overseas was just like that.

It was not until daybreak that Su Huiqing came out with a silver needle.

“Missy, how is the head of the family?” The first elder immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously.

The other elders didn’t dare to ask Su Huiqing like the first elder. They just stood far away and stared at Su Huiqing.

Su Huiqing stood by the door and looked up at the sun that was about to set. She smiled at the first elder, her eyes shining. “Don’t worry. I reckon he will wake up in a few days.”

“Really?” The first elder’s voice trembled.

It was the same for the others. Dugu Heng’s condition was almost despairing. Although the first elder appeared calm on the surface, he did not have much confidence that Su Huiqing could cure Dugu Heng’s illness. After all, even the Ye Family only gave them one sentence.

Upon hearing Su Huiqing’s words, he really felt like crying.

The remaining secret guards could not help but shake their heads when they saw that the first elder was so convinced. They then cupped their hands towards Su Huiqing. “Missy, the potion maker that our family sent is already here.”

They knew Dugu Heng’s condition and didn’t dare to underestimate Su Huiqing’s medical skills.

They already knew that Su Huiqing had a ‘Miraculous Doctor’ status. However, if Dugu Heng wanted to repair his meridians, he would need a potion maker. They only thought that Su Huiqing had cured Dugu Heng’s external injuries.

Su Huiqing just nodded and turned sideways to let them in.

It seemed that Dugu Heng’s status wasn’t low. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have invited a top-level potion maker over. It wasn’t easy to hire a top-level potion maker.

“Mr. Dugu is inside.” The leader of the secret guards quickly brought over a person whose hair had already turned white. When he saw Su Huiqing standing outside the door, his expression changed, and he immediately bowed respectfully. His face was full of fear.

That potion maker looked at Su Huiqing in surprise when he saw how respectful the secret guards were towards people other than Dugu Heng.

Su Huiqing smiled. “Go in.”

The potion maker thought about Dugu Heng’s condition and didn’t think much about it. He pushed the door open with a serious expression. When a potion maker was saving someone, no one was allowed to disturb them.

Only the first elder frowned.

Seeing the first elder’s reaction, one of the secret guards couldn’t help but ask, “First Elder, are you going to stop the potion master?”

“Missy…” The first elder opened his mouth.

“I know you admire Missy. Of course, although I admire her, I won’t blindly worship her like you do. Haven’t you heard of Mr. Dugu’s condition? To tell you the truth, even most high-level potion makers are helpless.” That secret guard frowned.

The fifth elder pulled the first elder to the side awkwardly. “First Elder, Missy is still here. You should at least give her some face…”

Just then, a potion maker who had just entered came out.

“Is Mr. Dugu not in a good condition?” The secret guards’ faces changed when they saw him.

“Not good?” The potion maker glared at the secret guard. “How long do you still want to hide it from me?”

The secret guard leader was stunned. “What hide? What did we hide from you?”

Upon seeing this scene, Su Huiqing’s lips curled up lazily as she walked out of the courtyard. Before she left, she even picked up a piece of mint leaves and placed it in her mouth. The refreshing smell made her brain gradually clear up.

Everyone was worried about Dugu Heng and didn’t see her movements.

“What are you trying to hide from me?!” That potion maker was still furious. “You still want to lie to me now? There is nothing wrong with the Dugu Family Head at all. Although he is a little weak, most potion makers can recuperate well and quickly recover their strength! Why did you lie to me?!”

“How could we lie to you?” The secret guard immediately threw the pot away. “You already know about Mr. Dugu’s condition. How could the examination of a mid-level potion maker be wrong?!”

“That’s right, how did Mr. Dugu recover on his own?!” The potion maker suddenly reacted.

Not only the potion maker, but the others also snapped back to their senses. They turned their heads in disbelief and looked in Su Huiqing’s direction. Their eyes were slightly dazed and almost petrified.

It was naturally impossible for him to recover. Someone must have saved him.

However, from start to finish, only Su Huiqing came into contact with Dugu Heng. It was obvious who saved him.

At this moment, Su Huiqing seemed to sense their gazes. She stopped in her tracks and smiled at the people standing in the courtyard.

That potion maker didn’t know that Su Huiqing had always been inside the room. When he saw the secret guards looking at Su Huiqing in unison, he couldn’t help but glare at the group of guards. “Who saved Mr. Dugu? I must pay a visit to such a person. What are you standing there for? Can’t you speak?”
