Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 95 Instructions (First Update)

Along the way, Su Ming looked around with curiosity.

The facilities at the station in Starlight City were incomparable to those in Thirteenth District.

Aside from the lack of intelligent facilities, other specifications here were maxed out.

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

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

"Young master, before we get home, I have something to instruct you on."

"Please go ahead."

Su Ming responded immediately.

"The old man’s temper isn’t great, and he’s very explosive in his speech, but he’s really a good person, so if he scolds you, never talk back."

"I understand."

"And you need to be particularly careful around the old lady, your uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, and cousins. You must not have any conflicts with them, even verbal spats should be avoided as much as possible. It’s best to be polite, even if just superficially."

Jiang Yu then reminded Su Ming.

"I understand."

Su Ming nodded in response.

To tell the truth, Su Ming’s strongest memory and emotional connection to the Su Family was probably with the old man.

Although the chief lady was his grandmother, his real grandmother, his father’s mother, had already passed away.

Therefore, he wasn’t particularly close to other family members.

Of course, part of the reason Su Yuan was initially banished to the Thirteenth District was due to his ineptitude, and another major reason was his mother’s passing.

With the grandmother’s death, Su Yuan also lost his primary support within the Su Family.

"Of course, if they are very unreasonable, you can talk to the old man about it."

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and then added.

"Mm."

Su Ming nodded.

Before long, Su Ming followed Jiang Yu to an underground parking garage, where they approached a modest black hovering car.

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

After buckling his seat belt, he picked up his phone and sent a message to his mother to report his safety.

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

After fastening his seatbelt, he started the vehicle and drove toward the exit.

Seconds later, the vehicle left the central station and appeared on the spacious roads of Starlight City.

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

Skyscrapers soared on both sides of the road; these towers, crafted with the most advanced materials and construction techniques, had unusual shapes—some resembled crystal columns, others like arches.

Moreover, the textures on these building surfaces were very beautiful, refracting dazzling light under the sunlight.

In the air, one could see various flying vehicles, zipping by at high speeds, some even darting under the sky rails.

At lower altitudes, several oddly shaped airships floated, their large bodies displaying various high-definition advertisements and news.

Seeing Su Ming’s interest in Starlight City, Jiang Yu began to explain with a smile.

"Before you entered the station by train, you must have gotten a general view of Starlight City’s structure."

"Yes, very unique."

"Starlight City is actually composed of many Dorag Spheres, which are like small areas. We are currently in the main urban area of Starlight City, namely District A. This area mainly focuses on administrative and office functions, so you can see many skyscrapers. Almost all the powerful businesses in the Federation, as well as other cities, Sixteen District, and foreign planets, have office buildings here..."

"That’s nice."

Su Ming nodded slightly.

"The central area, a bit further out, is Starlight City’s highest-end commercial and residential area. The Su Family is located in the G3 villa residential area, which is a bit distant, taking about an hour to reach. Additionally, the Imperial Court Academy you are going to attend isn’t located here but in the upper-right corner of Starlight City in District B, which is still quite far."

"Is the housing expensive here?"

"Expensive, describing it as ’every inch of land is worth its weight in gold’ wouldn’t be apt. Imagine, after thousands of years, a massive influx of population into such a small area, what that’s like."

Jiang Yu explained briefly.

"That makes sense."

Su Ming nodded.

...

As dusk fell over Area G3·Stardust Villa District.

Jiang Yu drove the black hovering car along the main road towards the Su Family home.

Looking out the window, Su Ming saw mansion after mansion with large expanses of land, a wave of familiarity washing over him. If he remembered correctly, a short distance further should bring them to their destination.

That’s when Su Ming suddenly saw along the roadside ahead, tables seating ten people each, all fully occupied.

"These?"

Su Ming looked at Jiang Yu, slightly surprised.

"These are all guests, we came back a bit late, and the guests are already seated."

Jiang Yu replied with a smile.

"Is such a grand arrangement necessary?"

Su Ming was stunned. The tables were set up here, even though it was at least two or three hundred meters away from the Su Family home.

"Yes, as this is the Imperial Court Academy’s promotion banquet. Although the Su Family isn’t considered a top-tier family in Starlight City, it’s still a prominent family. The necessary grandeur is required! After all, this concerns the family’s reputation, there are many customs to be observed in Starlight City. To stand firm here, one must have strength and also connections and face, otherwise, it would be difficult to move ahead."

Jiang Yu patiently taught Su Ming some extracurricular knowledge.

"I understand, sir."

Su Ming responded humbly.

At this moment, guests on the street curiously looked at the incoming hovering car, speculating about the person inside.

Most of the guests recognized the Su Family’s car number plate, and they suspected that the latecomers might be some important figures.

Before long, Jiang Yu parked the car in a reserved spot in front of the villa.

Su Ming and Jiang Yu got out of the car, and two housemaids quickly came forward and said,

"Mr. Jiang, young master, you’ve arrived, the masters are all waiting for you."

"Mm, take the master’s luggage from the trunk inside."

Jiang Yu briefly instructed.

"Yes!"

The maids responded respectfully.

Jiang Yu then led Su Ming towards the Su Family’s grand door, where the banquet tables filled both sides of the entrance and the courtyard.

As Su Ming and Jiang Yu approached the door, the guests sitting at the entrance greeted them.

"Mr. Jiang, who is this handsome young man by your side?"

"Right, how come we’ve never seen him before?"

...

"Mr. Tao, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Su Yuan’s son, Su Ming, one of the three from the Su Family who got accepted into the Imperial Court Academy."

Jiang Yu introduced with a smile.

"Not bad, a young man of great promise, his future is boundless."

"Amazing!"

...

Mr. Tao led the praises.
