Those who didn’t pass the exam this year can do whatever they please; just don’t bother me about it.”

Su Zhen Tian simply wasn’t heeding An Ke’s attempts to calm him.

It wasn’t surprising that Su Zhen Tian was so angry, considering the Su Family involved not only the main and branch families but also their subordinates, amounting to nearly a million people.

Moreover, Su Zhen Tian took the city examination very seriously and had invested heavily in education, only to see disgraceful results this year.

An Ke sighed internally; things in the family had indeed been going poorly lately, which partly explained the old man’s irritability, so he no longer pressed the issue.

Just then, Jiang Yu suddenly spoke up.

“Old Master, I would like to correct you, this year, our Su Family didn’t have two successful candidates, but three!”

“Huh?”

Both Su Fu and An Ke looked at Jiang Yu with surprise; they were certain they hadn’t miscalculated.

Su Zhen Tian was taken aback as well and then asked.

“Three?

Who is the third?”

“Young Master Su Ming.”

Jiang Yu replied with a smile.

Hearing Jiang Yu’s words, Su Zhen Tian stood up, incredulous.

“You’re talking about my good-for-nothing son?”

“Yes, and the program he was admitted to is the Mecha Department.”

Jiang Yu replied with confidence.

After hearing this, Su Zhen Tian burst into loud laughter.

“Ha!

Motherfucker, thankfully my grandson didn’t take after his stupid father.

This really saved face for me!”

An Ke and Su Fu looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

They had accessed Su Ming’s records; his grades were a mess—him getting into any ordinary school would have been a cause for gratitude, let alone the Imperial Court Academy’s Mecha Department.

It was like winning the lottery by chance.

However, they quickly recovered and began to offer their congratulations.

“Congratulations, Old Master!”

“Ha!

At last, some good news today.

That least promising son of mine has finally done something worthwhile; he didn’t ruin my grandson!

Go now, send someone to pick him up and bring him back to Starlight City!”

Su Zhen Tian called out joyfully.

“Yes, we will arrange it right away.”

Su Fu replied promptly.

At that moment, Jiang Yu checked the time on his wristwatch and said.

“Wait, it might be a little late to send someone now.

And Young Master Su Ming should be boarding the train soon.”

“Then arrange for someone to meet him at the train station.

And inform our people to prepare a celebration banquet for the academic advancement, to be held once we receive Su Ming!”

Su Zhen Tian commanded grandly.

“Yes, Old Master!”

Butler An Ke responded respectfully.

————————————–

At the Central Train Station entrance of the old Federation’s Thirteenth District.

Zhao Ning was holding Su Ming’s hand, walking inside, and giving him heartfelt instructions.

“Son, you must take care of yourself in Starlight City, dress warmly to avoid catching a cold, and your mom will visit when she can…”

“Okay.”

Su Ming obediently replied.

At this point, Su Yuan, carrying the luggage behind Su Ming and Zhao Ning, grimaced and said.

“Wife, with both me and our son gone to Starlight City, you’ll be alone at home with so many things to manage at the company.

Are you sure you can handle it?”

“Of course I can.

Can you please stop nagging?”

Zhao Ning was somewhat irritated.

Su Yuan continued, a bit awkwardly.

“Wife, I’m just worried you might not manage everything.

Shouldn’t you be the one to send our son to Starlight City?”

Upon hearing Su Yuan’s words, Zhao Ning exploded like a lit firecracker.

“You think I don’t want to send our son?

But to go to Starlight City we’d have to return home first, and what use would that be?

If you don’t personally take our son back, what are you planning?

The family will still rely on you to garner support for our son.”

Zhao Ning wouldn’t have bothered sending Su Yuan back if she could manage on her own.

“Still, last time the old man said if he sees me again, he’d break my legs.”

When Su Yuan mentioned this, his body couldn’t help but shudder.

“Can’t you show some guts?

That’s all in the past; the Old Master really isn’t going to break your legs, is he?”

Zhao Ning was exasperated with Su Yuan; he had been reluctant since morning, and even at the station, he was considering backing out.

Seeing Zhao Ning’s temper flare, Su Yuan didn’t bring it up any further; instead, he turned to Su Ming with a pleading look.

“Son, if your grandfather really tries to break my legs, you have to hold him for your dad, hold him back!

Whether I make it back home alive is all on you.”

Su Ming couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head at his father’s words.

This wasn’t about seeing him off; it was clearly a set-up.

Now he was expected to restrain his own grandfather, which could very well backfire on him.

Nevertheless, Su Ming promised.

“Alright, I’ll do my best.”

“That’s my good son.”

Seeing Su Ming’s agreement, Su Yuan’s heart eased a little.

At this point, Su Ming and the others entered the station’s waiting hall.

The hall was bustling, filled with students carrying luggage, especially around the central area which was crowded with a lot of people.

Su Ming looked on curiously and saw that the area was swarming with reporters and guards maintaining order; he could even spot Xiao Lie and other government officials.

Now, Su Ming overheard a few students with luggage huddled together talking.

“What’s going on there?

Why is it so lively?

And am I seeing things, isn’t that Lord Xiao?”

“You’re behind on news, aren’t you?

They’re holding a farewell party for the number one rank from our Thirteenth District in this round of city exams.”

“Number one?

Who is it?

Isn’t it Lin Chuyu?”

“Lin Chuyu got recruited especially.

It’s Haiheng Academy’s genius—Qin Feng!

He scored 279 on the comprehensive exam, and 64 on the Mecha sub-subject, beating Lin Chuyu handily!”

“Wow, that’s impressive.

How many students from the Thirteenth District made it to other schools this time?”

“15 from the Upper City District overall, with Haiheng Academy alone taking 7 spots.

I think about 8 made it from the Lower City District.”

“That’s a lot fewer than previous years.”

“Well, what can you do?

The exam was really difficult this year.”

…

Hearing this, Su Ming was intrigued, peering further inside.

He caught sight of a young man about 1.8 meters tall, with handsome, sunny features, dressed in a simple and fashionable T-shirt paired with white sneakers, speaking confidently with Xiao Lie.

Beside him was a girl with pink long hair, dressed in a sea blue dress, with porcelain white skin, a delicate oval face, and eyes lively and clear.

Moreover, there were five other young men and women standing on either side.

Barring any surprises, these seven were likely the students from Haiheng Academy who had been accepted into the Imperial Court Academy that year.

“Do you see the girl next to Qin Feng?

Who is she?

She’s so pretty, they look like a match made in heaven.”

“Stop staring, that’s Haiheng Academy’s most beautiful girl—Yu Wei.

Her scores were just behind Qin Feng’s, even higher than Lin Chuyu’s.”
