Over there, a group of people walked out slowly. The person leading them was a red figure with black hair that somehow made her look cold and gorgeous.
This wasn’t the reason that Dugu Ji-An halted. Instead, it was because the owner of the auction hall actually walked half a step behind that lady in red respectfully.
Someone who could hold auctions in the International Association and had never made any mistakes auctioning countless valuable items in many years…
The identity of the owner of the auction hall wasn’t simple at all.
These were all known by all the heads of the major families. Almost everyone in the Dugu Family dared not be impolite to the owner of the auction hall; no one would be willing to invite trouble from a powerful opponent.
Thus, when they saw that the owner of the auction hall was actually so outrightly respectful towards that lady in red… everyone stood on the spot as they watched this scene with constricted pupils.
They were still in a daze.
Especially since that lady in red seemed extremely young.
Even if Dugu Heng stood here, the owner of the auction hall wouldn’t be so respectful? Just exactly who was she to actually even make the owner of the auction hall behave like this?
“Hold on, that’s…” The second elder of the Dugu Family stood beside Dugu Ji-An as he watched that lady in red and suddenly thought of someone. His eyes then suddenly filled with astonishment. “Unknown Island?”
“Impossible.” The elder of the Ye Family walked up to him and shook his head slightly without shifting his glance. “Firstly, there are no prints on her mask. Secondly, merely someone from Unknown Island shouldn’t be able to make Mr. Wu behave so respectfully.”
Mr. Wu was the owner of the auction hall.
The second elder didn’t speak further. Previously, that video was indeed shocking, so much that people in the International Association had been living in fear.
However, Old Master Ye’s analysis was also very logical. He looked sideways at Dugu Ji-An.
Dugu Ji-An was also looking very solemn. He glanced at that lady in red, and his eyes paused for a moment. He was very clear about this. “She’s not from the International Association.”
Merely someone from the International Association wouldn’t be able to make Mr. Wu act like this.
Everyone present more or less knew about the Dugu Family’s matters. Hearing this statement from Dugu Ji-An now made everyone confused, and they couldn’t help but feel the chills. Not someone from the International Association… how could someone like this suddenly appear in the International Association?
“Mr. Wu, this is…?” The second elder concealed his thoughts and looked over at Mr. Wu, his gaze shifting between Mr. Wu and that lady in red.
Mr. Wu’s footsteps merely paused a little without the intention to chat. Instead, he clasped his hands together. “Second Elder Dugu, please allow me to send my guest out first.”
At this instant, the second elder and the rest were stunned. It seemed like Mr. Wu treated this lady in red more cautiously than they thought—just who was she?
The second elder had initially wanted to befriend that lady in red through Mr. Wu. However, seeing Mr. Wu’s attitude, he knew that it was very difficult. At this point, he had no choice but to take a few steps back.
“Just exactly who is she?” Dugu Xing looked at that lady in red being sent out glamorously. It was her first time seeing such a scene, and she was totally stunned.
“These potions should have come from her.” Dugu Ji-An retracted his gaze and said thoughtfully.
After he said this, the Ye Family was the most agitated.
No one knew what this meant better than them—top-grade potions. That was something that even the Ye Family couldn’t cultivate.
No wonder…
No wonder Mr. Wu behaved so respectfully. No wonder Dugu Ji-An would say that she wasn’t from the International Association. A top-grade potion shouldn’t appear in the International Association. Such a person…
They must find an opportunity to befriend her!
Everyone in the grand hall bid each other goodbye restlessly before leaving with the same goal in mind.
Over at this side, Su Huiqing got out but didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she removed her mask and jacket and placed them into her backpack once again.
She leaned against the car and saw the figures of Dugu Ji-An and the rest reflected from the rear-view mirror. She couldn’t help but smile.
“Uncle Chen, hold this card.” Su Huiqing threw the card from Mr. Wu to Uncle Chen. “Tomorrow, you’ll go and apply for a potion store in the International Association, and you’ll be in charge of it.”
Su Huiqing knew that Uncle Chen wasn’t any ordinary person. Previously, Zhang Mingxi had tried to headhunt Uncle Chen with the position of the general manager of the Zhang Family.
It was indeed a waste of talent to make him a butler.
She had already considered Uncle Chen’s development long ago. Thus, when Su Ruohua persuaded Uncle Chen to return to the Su Corporation, she had remained silent.
A potion store was something that the International Association had never seen. Even the potions of the Ye Family were monopolized by the other big families.

Thus, opening a potion store in the International Association was definitely a challenge, especially since they came from Green City which would definitely invite trouble and provocation from the families in the International Association.
At this point, Su Chu and the rest would have to be activated.
She had earned quite a bit from this auction and could give Su Chu a makeover. That would at least scare some middle-level families.
Uncle Chen didn’t agree immediately.
Su Huiqing wasn’t in a hurry either. She only leaned on the car door slightly, folded her arms, and stood on the spot with her legs crossed sloppily.
“Missy, you’ve really transformed quite a bit.” Uncle Chen received that card and looked at Su Huiqing meaningfully. “Okay, Uncle Chen will help you this time.”
“Thank you, Uncle Chen.” Su Huiqing wasn’t surprised at all to hear this reply. She stood up straight and lowered her voice slightly. “I’ll get someone to give you a new proof of identity.”
Uncle Chen looked up at Su Huiqing. He was momentarily struck.
Perhaps, she could really get the Su Family back to its peak?
When Dugu Ji-An and the rest came over, Su Huiqing was still leaning on the car, but Uncle Chen had disappeared. Su Huiqing had wanted to go back with Uncle Chen, but Dugu Heng had sent her a message and told her to return directly to the Dugu Residences.
She had no choice but to wait.
This time, no one from the Dugu Family—including the second elder—spoke to Su Huiqing. They were all either silent or discussing that lady in red agitatedly.
Su Huiqing boarded the car, closed her eyes slightly, and leaned back.
Naturally, Dugu Heng had asked Su Huiqing to go back because of those potions that the Dugu Family bid.
This time, although it was the Ye Family who bought that top-grade potion, the Dugu Family had secretly funded the Ye Family 500,000 smart coins. Thus, the Ye Family had promised to split 10% of the potion to the Dugu Family.
“This won’t do. Each of these premium potions can let our outstanding disciples be promoted successfully. It’s a waste to give them to Su Huiqing! Master, you must not act rashly.” All along, the second elder extremely despised Su Huiqing.
Seeing that Dugu Heng was actually going to give a bottle of premium potion to Su Huiqing, he was extremely enraged.
The other young disciples didn’t say anything, but it was obvious that they supported the second elder’s decision.
However, Dugu Heng looked calm. “This time, I’ve personally forked out 400,000 smart coins. Theoretically, half of these belong to me.”
Immediately after he said this, no one dared to speak.
Even if Dugu Heng were to be enraged and used five bottles of potions on Su Huiqing directly, no one dared to say anything.
The first elder finally retracted his gaze from Su Huiqing. He didn’t forget what happened previously and questioned Su Huiqing slightly. If it weren’t by chance… thinking of this, he immediately clasped his hands together. “Master had a point.”
“First elder?!” The fourth elder and the rest saw that the first elder suddenly switched sides and couldn’t quite believe it.
The first elder had his reasons but didn’t explain it. Even if he did, nobody might believe him.
“Master has a point. Eldest Young Missy has just returned to the Dugu Family. Tomorrow is the competition, and I believe that she’ll definitely succeed!” Dugu Xing covered her mouth and smiled radiantly towards Su Huiqing.
However, Su Huiqing still felt a sense of disdain in her eyes.
Tch. Su Huiqing retracted her gaze, narrowed her eyes, pulled a chair, and sat down without bothering about her.
At this, Dugu Xing looked at the young disciples beside her who were all staring angrily at Su Huiqing. Dugu Xing couldn’t help but sneer.
Due to Dugu Heng’s insistence—in the end, only one premium potion was given to Su Huiqing.
Su Huiqing received that potion from Dugu Heng’s hand and casually tossed it.
Seeing her action, Dugu Xing looked strangely at her. “Eldest Young Missy, do you know what this is?”
How could Su Huiqing not know what she was thinking? A premium potion was even treasured by the second elder, and she acted so casually. She was undoubtedly mocking her for knowing nothing.
However, such a thing… Yu Xiangyang and the other two drank it like water.
“Work hard for the internal competition tomorrow.” Dugu Heng patted on Su Huiqing’s shoulder.
Su Huiqing grabbed the premium potion in her hand and smiled. “Naturally, I’ll definitely clinch the champion for you.”
Dugu Heng laughed heartily. “Ambitious!”
Behind them, the second elder almost spat the tea in his mouth. “Champion? This Eldest Young Missy is really ambitious. Does she know what she’s saying?”
Even the first elder who had slightly changed his views about Su Huiqing couldn’t help but twitch his lips. “It’s her first time here at the International Association, and she probably doesn’t know what an internal competition represents. She’ll know about it tomorrow.”
