Chapter 706: Mission

“I don’t understand you.” Upon hearing this, Old Master Zhuge wasn’t surprised at all. He just looked at Su Huiqing. “I heard some things about you in the country. Don’t mind me. I’m just a little curious. With your talent, you can either study potions well or stay in the First School. I don’t want to interfere. I just feel that you shouldn’t be the kind of person who likes trouble, but you just have to pay attention to things that don’t belong to you.”

At this point, he paused with a reminiscent gaze. “Isn’t it tiring to live like this?”

Upon hearing this, Su Huiqing raised her head and looked out the window. She chuckled. “Old Master Zhuge, do you see that? That is my friend, Yu Xiangyang. He came to see you today. Of course, you don’t know him. Before knowing me, he was still a good-for-nothing in Green City. He was about the same as me in the past. Because of his aptitude, his entire family was almost destroyed by a fiancée from a big family. And her, Qu Yan. If not for me, she might be like an ordinary person now. She lived every day without any worries and didn’t need to survive overseas like now. There are still many people you can’t see. Some people view me as their faith, and one blocked all news about herself for me. I haven’t found her yet.

“What do you think I did it for? These people, all of them, should have a better life and not be bothered by these matters. It was me who led them on this path. Everyone overseas is afraid of the resources at the International Association. Do you know? A few months ago, my family was almost destroyed by the miracle doctor’s sect secretly! Without Apollo and without a level seven weapon, our place would no longer exist!”

That was why she came here and wanted to bring the people from Unknown Island over.

Unknown Island’s duty to protect the overseas center remained unchanged.

It was very difficult to make Unknown Island into a superpower that no one dared to provoke, but she had always persisted.

“That’s why I have to work harder! Because we still have to watch the sun tomorrow! We still have to return to the International Association! I still have to bring them home!” Su Huiqing put down her teacup, her eyes flashing with an inexplicable stubbornness.

It was not that she wanted to take over everything, but her friends had worked so hard and never gave up. How could she retreat?

In the end, she looked at Old Master Zhuge and sighed. “Old Master Zhuge, I know that you have never participated in overseas matters so I didn’t agree to be your disciple. Once I become your disciple, you will definitely be implicated. There are already many people in our International Association. I don’t wish for you to be one more.”

Su Huiqing had always understood her position, be it when she was reborn or when she first lived.

Grampy was one of the reasons, but not the most important.

When she knew that there was such a place overseas, Su Huiqing was nervous. There were too many ordinary people in the International Association and Country M. If the overseas wanted to annex their country’s resources, who could protect them?

When she had just been reborn, she had also avoided it, but how could she easily forget the responsibilities that were deeply etched in her heart?

Her brothers, who had gone through thick and thin with her, were all fighting for her. They were all waiting for her. She had watched her comrades die while she retreated to Green City. Even if she died in the end, she would never forgive herself. This was the first time Old Master Zhuge was stunned when he heard Su Huiqing’s words.

He raised his head in a daze and looked at Su Huiqing.

After the other party finished speaking, the terrifying aura surrounding her instantly disappeared. Her expression instantly recovered its elegance. She was just as lazy as before, as if she didn’t care about anything.

Old Master Zhuge didn’t know who she was referring to, but when he saw Su Huiqing like this, even his heart—which had not wavered for many years—burned up.

For a moment, he even wanted to say that he was not afraid of this. She could still be his disciple.

However, he swallowed his words.

In the end, he just sighed. “You are very similar to someone I know. You are equally stubborn. In that case, I will wait for you for half a month. In half a month, this island of yours can look for me. Remember, don’t let anyone know where you will go.”

With that, he put down a token.

Su Huiqing took the token and held it in her palm. She looked at Old Master Zhuge. “Thank you.”

“Alright, I will stay here for three days. If any of your friends want to see me, let them come.” Mr. Zhuge waved his hand in disdain. “You can leave.”

Su Huiqing stood up and bowed to Old Master Zhuge before leaving.

Knowing that Mr. Zhuge wanted to meet him, Yu Xiangyang’s face lit up with excitement. He went in nervously.

Su Huiqing glanced at them and shook her head helplessly. She was about to leave when she saw the red-haired boy not far away. She stopped and raised her brows. “Why are you here?”

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen could not help but touch his hair. “Yu Xiangyang asked me to come over. I happened to be setting up a stall nearby.”

Su Huiqing was about to leave when she heard Yang Chen’s words. “Aren’t you from the Yang Family? Why are you setting up a stall?”

Upon hearing Su Huiqing’s words, Yang Chen pouted. “I have always been at odds with that Young Master Yang since I was young so I left the Yang Family when I was five. What kind of family do you think I have?”

“Leave the Yang Family?” Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes and stuffed her hands into her pockets. “In that case, are you willing to join another power?”

Yang Chen was stunned. “Huh?”

Su Huiqing snapped her fingers. “I have something on now. I will get Yu Xiangyang to tell you later.”

The miracle doctor’s sect had almost monopolized all the potions overseas. Su Huiqing urgently needed a potion maker, and Yu Xiangyang alone was not enough. Yang Chen came just in time.
