Chapter 696: Aren’t You a Strange One?

Upon hearing this, Yu Shijin retracted his gaze from Su Huiqing and said mildly, “She has always been lucky.”
Gong Yu didn’t answer this time. He just gave Yu Shijin a deep look before turning to leave.
After coming down, he saw Fu Meng hesitating. He didn’t say anything and left with her.
Seeing him like this, Fu Meng couldn’t help but purse her lips and follow.
When Gong Yu passed by Su Huiqing, he stopped in his tracks. His eyes were really deep. “Miss Su, I admire your acting skills.”
Su Huiqing stuffed her hands into her pockets and smiled. “You flatter me.”
Gong Yu didn’t speak further and left.
However, he sneered in his heart. Lucky? Only Yu Shijin could say that. Who could be so lucky as to randomly write nine types of potions and concoct them without missing a single one?
“Go and investigate Su Huiqing’s background,” Gong Yu said coldly, “With her around, it might be more troublesome than I imagined.”
The man in black answered and immediately left quietly.
Gong Yu sat in the car, his eyes darkening.
At this moment, he received a call.
On the other end of the phone was an old voice. “The plan has changed. Those people found Su Lun. We can’t continue the experiment.”
“I gave you so many resources, and you can’t even hide a person?” Gong Yu narrowed his eyes and spoke in a very bad tone.
The other party paused for a moment. “I have checked. It’s a power from the International Association. Recently, it has been expanding overseas. This power has many people and comes and goes without a trace. If they refuse to let go, we can’t continue studying. When we were in the International Association, we were also obstructed by them.”
“Who are those people?” As Gong Yu spoke, he could not help but look out the car window. “A power not from overseas can make you guys so cowardly?”
The person on the other side took a deep breath. “I don’t know. Every place they go, they destroy one of our strongholds, leaving only S behind. They can’t do anything to us, and we can’t do anything to them. Miss Fu Meng has been to the International Association. You might know something if you ask her.”
Gong Yu hung up. After a moment, he asked Fu Meng to look for him.
…
On the other side, Su Huiqing was still with General Yuan.
“Congratulations, Old Master Zhuge. You have received such a genius as Miss Su as your disciple.” Almost everyone present didn’t leave. They were either congratulating Su Huiqing or Old Master Zhuge.
Old Master Zhuge looked at Su Huiqing with a magical gaze. “I never expected to receive such an outstanding disciple in the end.”
Su Huiqing remained silent and massaged her temples.
There were too many people, and it was too noisy.
It took a lot of effort to make potions. She felt a little dizzy now.
Yu Shijin glanced at her before pulling her over. “Why?”
Su Huiqing looked up at him and sighed. “Brother Yu, I dropped my alias.”
“Anyway, it’s not the first time.” Yu Shijin smiled. “Hide the rest.”
“There’s nothing left. They are basically all out there.” Su Huiqing glanced at him and touched her nose.
Yu Shijin looked at her face and narrowed his eyes. “Is that so?”
Su Huiqing raised her brows. “Of course. I have something to discuss with Old Master Zhuge. Wait for me before you leave.”
With that, she was about to take off Yu Shijin’s hand when Yu Shijin turned around and held her hand instead. His eyes darkened, and his voice deepened. “Why are you looking for him?”
His tone was obviously unhappy.
“He is a potion master.” Su Huiqing touched her chin and smiled. “If I acknowledge him as my master, my potion-making skills will definitely improve.”
Yu Shijin looked at her, his face darkening.
Su Huiqing touched her nose and slipped away.
She indeed wanted to look for Old Master Zhuge… but not to be his disciple. She participated in this competition for one thing from the start to the end.
“You said you don’t want to be my disciple?” Old Master Zhuge didn’t expect Su Huiqing to have such thoughts and couldn’t help but be stunned. “Why? So many people overseas are fighting to be my disciple?”
Su Huiqing glanced at him and smiled, but her voice was deep. “I don’t have that much time.”
“Then, why are you looking for me?” Old Master Zhuge was silent for a moment.
“Help me save someone.” Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes. “General Yuan told me that you definitely wouldn’t be willing to help if I look for you just like this. Because you haven’t acted for too long, I had no choice but to think of this method to meet you.”
Upon hearing Su Huiqing’s voice, Old Master Zhuge shook his head and said regretfully, “Sorry, I swore never to save anyone again. I only teach.”
Su Huiqing didn’t expect Old Master Zhuge to answer this. Her smile froze.
The light in her eyes gradually deepened. “Old Master Zhuge, are you serious?”
Old Master Zhuge nodded. He looked at Su Huiqing and sighed. When Su Huiqing got first place, she was still as casual as before. At that time, he thought that nothing could change Su Huiqing’s expression.
Unexpectedly, just an answer made her expression change.
“May I ask who you want me to save? That person is very important to you, right?” he suddenly asked.
