Chapter 96 Instructions (Update 1)

Along the way, Su Ming looked around with great curiosity.

The station facilities in Star City were incomparable to those in Thirteenth District.

Aside from the lack of smart facilities, everything else here was top-notch.

Moreover, the travelers he saw along the way were all dressed very fashionably, giving a completely different sensory experience.

At this moment, Jiang Yu kindly spoke to Su Ming.

“Young Master, before we arrive home, I have something I need to tell you.”

“Please speak,” Su Ming immediately replied.

“The Old Master doesn’t have a very good temper, and he speaks very gruffly, but he is a very good person, so if he scolds or reprimands you, never talk back.”

“I understand that.”

“Also, you need to pay special attention to the Old Madam, your eldest uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, and your cousins. You must not get into any conflicts with them, even verbal disputes should be avoided as much as possible. It’s best to be polite, even if it’s just on the surface.”

Jiang Yu then reminded Su Ming.

“I understand.”

Su Ming nodded in response.

To be honest, Su Ming’s strongest memories and feelings for the Su Family were probably for the Old Master.

Although the Old Madam was his grandmother, his true grandmother, his father’s mother, had actually passed away.

Therefore, he wasn’t particularly close to the others.

Of course, part of the reason Su Yuan was originally sent to Thirteenth District was that he was truly too unaccomplished, and the biggest reason was that his mother had passed away.

With his grandmother’s passing, Su Yuan also lost an important backer in the Su Family.

“Of course, if they are too excessive, you can also tell the Old Master,” Jiang Yu thought for a moment and added.

“Mm.”

Su Ming nodded.

Not long after, Su Ming followed Jiang Yu to the underground parking lot, where they walked to a low-key black hovercar.

Jiang Yu opened the trunk, Su Ming put his luggage in, and then sat in the passenger seat.

After buckling his seatbelt, he picked up his phone and sent a message to his mother to let her know he was safe.

At this moment, Jiang Yu closed the trunk and returned to the driver’s seat.

After buckling his seatbelt, he started the vehicle and drove towards the exit.

Ten-odd seconds later, the vehicle drove out of the central station and appeared on the wide roads of Star City.

Su Ming looked out the window with great curiosity, gazing at this city that had stood for thousands of years.

On both sides of the road stood towering skyscrapers, built with the most advanced materials and construction techniques, their shapes peculiar, some resembling crystal pillars, others like archways.

Moreover, the surface textures of these buildings were also very beautiful, reflecting brilliant light under the sunlight.

In addition, in mid-air, one could see aircraft shuttling at high speeds, some even passing rapidly under the sky rail.

At the same time, in the low altitude, one could also see uniquely shaped airships floating, with various high-definition advertisements and news playing on their massive bodies.

Seeing Su Ming so interested in Star City, Jiang Yu smiled and began to introduce it.

“You should have had a general view of Star City’s structure before you entered the station by train, right?”

“Yes, it’s very unique.”

“Star City is actually composed of many Dorag Spheres, and these Dorag Spheres are essentially small districts. Our current location is the main urban area of Star City, which is District A. This area is primarily administrative and office-oriented, which is why you see so many skyscrapers. Basically, federal enterprises with significant strength, as well as other cities, the Sixteenth District, and even other planets, all have office buildings here.”

“That’s good.”

Su Ming nodded slightly.

“Just outside the central area are Star City’s most high-end commercial and residential districts. The Su Family is located in the G3 District villa residential area, which is a bit far, probably taking about an hour to reach. Also, Royal Court Academy, where you’ll be attending, isn’t here; it’s in District B, the upper right corner of Star City, which is still a bit far.”

“Are housing prices expensive here?”

“Expensive. Describing it as ‘every inch of land is worth an inch of gold’ isn’t even appropriate. You can imagine what it means when a large population has poured into such a small piece of land over thousands of years.”

Jiang Yu briefly explained.

“That’s true.”

Su Ming nodded.

At dusk, G3 District · Stardust Villa Area.

Jiang Yu drove the black hovercar along the main road towards the Su Family residence.

Through the window, Su Ming looked at the large villas along the way, and a sense of familiarity suddenly welled up in his heart. If he remembered correctly, they should arrive after driving a bit further.

At this moment, Su Ming suddenly saw rows of ten-person red tables set up on the side of the road ahead, all full of people.

“These?”

Su Ming looked at Jiang Yu with some surprise.

“These are all guests. We came back a bit late, so the guests have already taken their seats,” Jiang Yu replied with a smile.

“Is the scale of the reception this grand?”

Su Ming was also stunned. They were still at least two or three hundred meters away from the Su Family residence, yet the tables were already set up this far out.

“Yes, it is, after all, this is a celebration banquet for entering Royal Court Academy. Although the Su Family is not a top-tier prominent family in Star City, it is still a respectable family. The necessary pomp and circumstance are required! After all, this concerns the family’s reputation. There are many things emphasized here in Star City. To gain a firm foothold here, one must have strength, as well as connections and reputation, otherwise, it’s impossible to move forward.”

Jiang Yu meticulously taught Su Ming knowledge beyond textbooks.

“I understand, Teacher.”

Su Ming humbly replied.

At this time, the guests on the street looked curiously at the approaching hovercar, discussing who was inside.

Most of the guests present recognized the Su Family’s license plate. Someone arriving so late was probably an important figure.

Soon after, Jiang Yu drove the car to the reserved parking space in front of the villa.

Su Ming and Jiang Yu stepped out of the car, and two maids immediately came forward and said, “Mr. Jiang, Young Master, you’re here. The Old Master and the others have been waiting for you.”

“Okay, take the Young Master’s luggage from the trunk inside,” Jiang Yu simply instructed.

“Yes!” The maid respectfully responded.

Jiang Yu then led Su Ming towards the Su Family’s main gate. At this time, both sides of the main gate and inside the courtyard were filled with banquet tables.

When Su Ming and Jiang Yu reached the entrance, the guests seated near the entrance greeted them one after another.

“Mr. Jiang, who is this handsome young man beside you?”

“Yes, we’ve never seen him before.”

“Mr. Tao, let me introduce him to you. This is Su Ming, the son of Young Master Su Yuan, and also one of the three from the Su Family who passed the examination for Royal Court Academy this time,” Jiang Yu introduced with a smile.

“Excellent, a promising young man, his future is limitless.”

“Amazing!” Mr. Tao led the praise.
