Chapter 269: Are You Qualified?

However, no one saw how he reacted.

The old man sitting cross-legged by the stall glanced at Dugu Xing before taking a sip of his wine. He shook his head slightly as he looked at Dugu Xing, who spoke calmly.

The next second, he turned to look at Su Huiqing and saw her smiling at him.

The corners of her lips curled up in a lazy yet devilish manner. That half-smile on her face made him spill some wine.

Dugu Xing was still speaking when Yu Shijin, who initially didn’t want to bother about her, turned his head slightly and looked at her with his sharp gaze. Under the cold sunlight, he only felt that his overly handsome side view was seen.

He narrowed his eyes. “Who are you?”

Dugu Xing was stunned. She probably didn’t expect anyone in the International Association to not know her.

Luckily, a young man immediately came over and explained to Yu Shijin. “This is Miss Xing from the Dugu Family. She is the secretary of the entire International Association, and she is very familiar with overseas affairs. Her two companies are also operating overseas.”

Yu Shijin’s expression didn’t change much when he heard that. He just smiled. “The Baike Book?”

His tone was neither mocking nor insulting. After all, no one dared to answer him.

Including the young man who had just answered his questions.

The group of people looked at each other and could see the confusion in each other’s eyes. Dugu Xing had a B-grade bloodline and was knowledgeable overseas. Her looks were also rare in the International Association, and her family was also top-notch. How many people pursued her?

Why did Master Yu sound like he didn’t care at all?

After Yu Shijin finished speaking, he retracted his gaze and focused on studying these overseas products with Su Huiqing, not looking at anyone else.

Just then, there was a commotion at the door.

From afar, an old man with a head full of white hair arrived. He was wearing a grey robe with strange patterns embroidered on it.

It was Principal Dien.

Someone had already recognized him. Following that was the fervent gazes of those people.

Principal Dien, as the principal of the highest academic institution in the International Association, had always been deeply ingrained in people’s hearts. He glanced at everyone present, and his gaze was very calm.

“Everyone should know why you are here today. This matter concerns overseas affairs. I will choose the most suitable person among you to represent and communicate with the people overseas.”

As he spoke, Su Huiqing and Yu Shijin glanced at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes. It seemed like they were talking about something else?

Principal Dien was fuming.

All the young people present were after his name. However, these two people had no idea what this overseas market was for.

Principal Dien was so angry that he didn’t want to look at them anymore. He turned and said to the others, “I will give you half an hour to consider.”

With that, he placed his hands behind his back and walked to the most dilapidated stall.

Su Huiqing and Yu Shijin had already gone to other places.

“Is that your new disciple?” The old man, who was sitting cross-legged by the stall, took another sip of wine and asked unsteadily.

“That’s right. Her talent isn’t bad, right?” Principal Dien didn’t have a look of disdain on his face when he mentioned Su Huiqing; compared to others, he seemed very proud of himself. “Other than that, her talent in potion-making is terrifying.”

Upon hearing his words, the old man—who was sitting cross-legged—didn’t diss Principal Dien. “These people from the International Association have bad taste. That disciple of yours has a sharp eye and took a liking to my most valuable item. I gave her fifty percent off.

“As for the other families who came to me—Dugu Xing? You obviously have someone more suitable here. Why did you give me a secondary item?”

Principal Dien smiled when he saw the unconcealed disdain in the old man’s eyes.

Su Huiqing had just returned to the International Association. These people looked down on her identity as a native and naturally didn’t think highly of her, especially with Dugu Xing’s comparison.

Now that someone had better judgment than others, how could Principal Dien not smile?

“This is probably the reason why the International Association gradually declined.” After a long while, Principal Dien sighed.

The old man glanced at Principal Dien and said nothing more.

…

Half an hour passed quickly…

Principal Dien looked at the group of people and placed his hand behind his back. “Have you guys considered it?”

“Principal Dien, Miss Xing has an especially rich knowledge overseas. It’s most suitable for her to go!”

“That’s right. Miss Xing has been communicating with them the longest.”

“Principal Dien, I think Master Yu can do it, too! He is the strongest in our generation.”

“Master Yu is busy with other matters. How can he waste his time on such matters? Miss Xing… I think she is very suitable…”

“…”

Principal Dien stood on the spot, watching those people speak freely and the smile on Dugu Xing’s face.

The smile on his face slowly disappeared.

In the end, he shifted his gaze to Su Huiqing, who looked as though nothing had happened. With a raise of his hand, everyone’s voices disappeared, leaving only his dignified voice. “There’s no need to discuss this matter anymore. I’ll send Su Huiqing.”

No one expected Principal Dien to make such a decision.

Instantly, all the voices stopped. Even Dugu Xing’s smile froze.

“Principal Dien, how could it be her?” Yu Shiyue, who was standing beside her, had already heard Dugu Xing talk about Su Huiqing. He knew that Principal Dien was Su Huiqing’s teacher. “How can you be biased?!”

“I am biased?” Principal Dien narrowed his eyes, his cloudy eyes turning slightly cold.

Dugu Xing lowered her eyes in a grievance.

The others gradually came to their senses and started to feel indignant for Dugu Xing. “Principal Dien, I have always felt that you are the fairest. However, you have really disappointed me today!”

“Yes, Principal. No matter how you look at it, Miss Xing is the most suitable one. Why did you casually give it to an ordinary person?”

“…”

It was almost the same sound.

Yu Shiyue tilted his head and glanced at Yu Shijin who was still standing not far away. He sneered and stepped forward. “Principal Dien, you probably don’t know that Miss Dugu bought a bunch of useless goods before you came.”

“Useless?” Principal Dien retracted his gaze.

He glanced at Dugu Xing’s aggrieved yet determined face and shook his head.

He reached out and grabbed all the items in the chief detective’s hands. “Don’t you all want to know why I chose her? Just look at these things, and you will understand!”

He threw the medicine at Yu Shiyue.
