Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 359 Banquet (Five in One)

Su Ze then took Su Ming and the other two and walked towards the right area, saying with a smile.

"I have a few friends who are very nice. I believe you will hit it off right away."

"My cousin's friends must all be outstanding."

Su Ming complimented him politely.

"That's right!"

Su Rui also responded in agreement.

"That's OK. They're just ahead. Let me introduce them to you."

After listening to what the two said, Su Ze's smile became even more intense.

Su Ming followed Su Ze's words and looked forward.

I saw a protruding observation deck on the hillside ahead.

The observation deck is covered with curtains and furnished with leisure tables and chairs, on which are placed exquisite pastries and tea.

In front of the observation deck is an endless lawn with beautiful scenery. There is also a retro martial arts arena in the middle area.

At the same time, this observation deck is clearly divided into two parts. On the left are the daughters of major families and groups, and on the right are gentlemen in military uniforms and luxurious suits.

At this time, the boys were chatting while looking at the martial arts stage.

There were two burly men on the stage, fighting each other. The fight was very exciting.

"it is good!"

The boys who were watching praised it from time to time.

As for the daughters of the major families, they discussed in low voices.

"So boring. These boys are either watching the fights or talking about mechas."

“It’s really boring.”

At this time, Su Ze, Su Ming and the other two walked towards a leisure table at the edge of the observation deck.

There were two men sitting at the casual table. The man on the left was as tall as a pine tree, with a resolute face and neat short hair. He was wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform with two red stars and a black star badge on his chest. The man on the right was wearing a major's uniform, with a handsome face, confident eyes, and a black star badge on his chest.

"Star, Janon!"

Su Ze greeted the two of them with a smile.

"Su Ze, where have you been? We've been sitting here doing nothing for a long time."

Lieutenant Colonel Star said with a smile.

"I'm going to meet some brothers and friends. Come, let me introduce you to Colonel Goodman from the First Legion!"

Su Ze then introduced.

"Hello there!"

Star and Zhanang then stood up and greeted at the same time.

"It's nice to meet you."

Goodman replied politely.

At this time, Su Ze continued to introduce Lieutenant Colonel Star.

"These two are my cousins ​​Su Rui and Su Ming."

"Hello!"

Lieutenant Colonel Star politely greeted Su Ming and the others.

"Hello."

Su Ming and Su Rui also responded very politely.

"Brother Ta, let me tell you, my cousin Su Ming is also from the Xiguang Laboratory. If you have the chance to see him in the future, you must take good care of him."

Su Ze continued.

When Su Ming heard Su Ze's words, his nerves jumped and he was speechless. Is this possible?
"Are you also from Xiguang Laboratory? I haven't seen you before. Which master are you following?"

Lieutenant Colonel Stark suddenly became interested and asked.

Su Ming took a deep breath and spoke directly.

"I'm following Dr. Blacks."

When Lieutenant Colonel Star heard this, his eyes widened and he said in great astonishment.

"You, you're actually following Dr. Blacks, that's amazing!"

In the eyes of Lieutenant Colonel Stark, anyone who can work under Dr. Blacks and not be fired is an awesome person.

"Uh, it's okay."

Su Ming forced out a very ugly smile. He felt that the more he spoke, the more outrageous it became, and things were developing in an uncontrollable direction.

Goodman and others were also frightened. As long as the Xiguang Laboratory is mentioned, who doesn’t know Dr. Blacks!

"Brother, sit down!"

Lieutenant Colonel Star immediately spoke to Su Ming very attentively.

"it is good."

Su Ming sat down awkwardly.

Su Ze was even more surprised when he saw this scene. He was very familiar with Star and knew his temper very well. It was rare for him to be so attentive to others.

This cousin of his is really a hidden talent!
So Su Ze smiled and picked up a piece of cake from the table next to him and handed it to Su Ming.

"Cousin Su Ming, try the osmanthus cake. The top layer is made of real osmanthus."

"Thank you!"

Su Ming took it gracefully.

At this moment, applause suddenly broke out all around, and Su Ming and others turned their heads to look over.

The two people fighting on the martial arts stage decided the winner, and a bald, burly man wearing a major's uniform won.

At this time, another strong captain climbed up.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then began to discuss their skills.

"The fighting skills of the two on the stage are pretty good, especially the bald major."

Su Ming very naturally changed the topic to the martial arts arena to prevent them from talking about the Xiguang Laboratory again later.

"You're talking about Su Wu. He is indeed good at learning ancient martial arts, but he is still a little bit behind me."

Su Ze said to Su Ming with a smile.

Su Ming asked with a little surprise.

"Guwu?"

"Yes, didn't you learn it? The whole family has been learning it since childhood, because mechas above the fourth generation need the support of ancient martial arts to exert their greatest combat effectiveness!"

"Shouldn't we start with the first generation machine?"

"Hey, you may not know that we don't touch mechas below the fourth generation. We start with the family's fourth-generation mass-produced machine, Lei Yu. If you let us operate a mecha below the fourth generation, our skills will probably be worse than those of a novice."

Su Ze explained with a smile.

Su Ming and Su Rui looked at each other, then they both fell silent.

At this time, a handsome man with a high nose bridge, arrogant expression, wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform and a red star and a black star badge on his chest came over, surrounded by three officers.

At this time, many officers on the observation deck saw the man and walked up to him to flatter him.

"Brother Su Yuxuan, long time no see. I didn't expect you to be promoted to lieutenant colonel. You are really amazing."

"Just so-so!"

Su Yuxuan said with a sense of superiority.

"You are so modest. I think the next time we meet, I might attend your promotion banquet."

"Haha, I'll try my best!"

Su Ming looked at Su Yuxuan with great curiosity.

At this time, Su Ze saw Su Ming's eyes fall on Su Yuxuan, so he lowered his voice and introduced him.

"That's Su Yuxuan, the grandson of Deputy Clan Leader Su Tianhao, and also my cousin. But I heard that his family seems to have some grudges against your grandfather, and their relationship isn't very good! You know what I mean, right?"

"clear."

Su Ming nodded thoughtfully.

Although Su Ze said that it was just a little grudge, Su Ming was not a fool. It was obvious that Deputy Clan Leader Su Tianhao and his grandfather were definitely at odds with each other.

Also, Su Ze did not greet Su Yuxuan, but instead revealed information to him, which also indirectly shows that the relationship between Su Ze and Su Yuxuan and others is not good.

Moreover, Su Yuxuan has gathered a large group of people around him, and he doesn't look like a good person at all.

It seems that there is not much harmony within this clan.

Just then, two officers came over from a distance, talking and laughing.

"Chen Ying, I didn't expect that after half a year, you've been promoted to lieutenant colonel. And you even got a red star badge. That's amazing!"

"Fortunately."

Su Ming was slightly startled, raised his head and looked over, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Two officers were seen approaching, one of whom was the deputy commander of the regiment, Chen Ying. He was wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform with a red star on his chest and a horizontal scar on his face that was very conspicuous.

At this time Chen Ying also saw Su Ming, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he said to his companions.

"Zhou Zhang, I'm going to say hello to my friends."

"Who is it? Can you introduce me to him?"

Zhou Zhang said with great interest.

"All right!"

Chen Ying then took Zhou Zhang over.

When Su Ming saw Chen Ying walking towards him, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.

Soon Chen Ying brought Zhou Zhang over and shouted excitedly.

“Su Ming, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

"It's a coincidence."

Su Ming replied awkwardly.

Su Ze and others looked at Chen Ying and asked with great interest.

"Who is this?"

"My name is Chen Ying, and I'm Su Ming's colleague."

Chen Ying introduced herself.

"Are you also from Xiguang Laboratory?"

When Su Ze and others heard that it was Su Ming's comrade-in-arms, they immediately became interested.

After hearing what Su Ze said, Chen Ying looked at Su Ming in confusion. Isn't this too ridiculous?

At this time Zhou Zhang asked in surprise.

"Chen Ying, aren't you from the Second Legion? How did you become Xiguang Laboratory?"

"Ok?"

Su Ze and others were stunned and looked at Su Ming.

When Su Ming heard Zhou Zhang's words, he couldn't help but cough. He was really not afraid of god-like opponents, but was afraid of pig-like teammates. He quickly explained.

"It's like this, we used to be together, but then he was transferred away."

Chen Ying reacted immediately and quickly cooperated.

"Yes, we were colleagues before, but later we were transferred away!"

"I see. Since you are Su Ming's friend, let's sit together."

Su Ze greeted with a smile.

Chen Ying quickly sat down and asked Su Ming very attentively.

"Su Ming, what are you busy with recently?"

"I'm not busy. I've been staying at home recently. I came here to visit relatives today. I didn't expect you to be here too."

Su Ming chatted with Chen Ying.

Zhou Zhang, who was standing by, was also bewildered when he saw Chen Ying being so attentive to Su Ming.

He had the impression that Chen Ying had a bad temper, and it was incredible that a lieutenant colonel with a badge could be so enthusiastic towards a major who had nothing.

"I said you were related to the Thunder God Group, but then again, what does the protagonist of today's promotion banquet have to do with you?"

Chen Ying asked curiously.

"Cousins, I suppose."

Su Ming coughed and replied.

"I see, so why don't you see anyone else?"

Chen Ying immediately asked.

Su Ze heard this and said with a smile.

"My eldest cousin hasn't come back yet, so we're all waiting for him. But he should be here soon, so we can chat for a while and then we'll be there."

"Oh."

Su Ming and others nodded in response.

At this time, Goodman also took the initiative to find topics.

“By the way, have you heard about the Thirteenth Legion?

"Of course I've heard about this. People in the Federation have been discussing this matter these days."

Lieutenant Colonel Star followed up.

"The Thirteenth Legion is really powerful. The Dark Star Empire is so powerful, but they were able to defeat it head-on. They also destroyed the Heart of the Sky and escaped unscathed."

Zhou Zhang also echoed.

"I heard that the results of the Thirteenth Legion's expedition were revealed by the Imperial Army. They were extremely exaggerated."

Goodman then said.

"That was indeed a great achievement. The Dark Star Empire lost a member of the Royal Order, captured a deputy legion commander and then released him, and killed five generals and a pseudo-V-generation mecha. The only pity is that General Corkis, who was controlling the pseudo-V-generation mecha, did not die!"

Su Ze said with great regret.

"It's such a pity. It would be awesome to kill him."

It’s a pity for Goodman and others.

"Ah? Corgis is not dead?"

Su Ming asked in great surprise.

He felt it was unbelievable. He had clearly driven that guy into a star, but he still couldn't kill him?
"Yes, he's not dead! Don't you know?"

Goodman asked curiously.

"do not know."

Su Ming simply shook his head in reply.

"Oh, your information is too backward."

Goodman said to Su Ming.

Su Ming and Chen Ying looked at each other, both of them were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Their intelligence was lagging behind?
Obviously, I am the real culprit.

However, Su Ming could only smile and say so.

"You're right, it's really outdated."

At this moment, a huge roar suddenly came from the sky.

Su Ming and others raised their heads and looked at the sky above their heads.

I saw a wide passage opening on the top of the Dorag Sphere.

At this time, a 35-meter-tall machine, made entirely of black metal, covered with spiked armor on the outside, with black metal claws holding two red particle light swords, a dark red particle beam cannon embedded in the shoulder, and two pairs of black mechanical jets embedded in the back, with two red stars and a black star painted on them. It was a fourth-generation customized mecha, Dark Fang, descended.

Behind him followed four fourth-generation mechas, Lei Yu, which were 32 meters tall, made entirely of blue metal and looked very cool. They had invisible particle cannons on their arms, two pairs of blue mechanical wings embedded in their backs, and held two blue particle light swords in their hands.

The five mechas passed through the passage and fell straight to the lawn below.

At this time, the wide lawn split open and a square metal helipad rose up.

Five mechas fell directly on it.

"Here he comes, Master Su Yuan is back."

When everyone saw this scene, they stood up, left the observation deck, and walked down the stairs.

At this time, the cockpit of the fourth-generation customized mecha, Dark Fang, opened, and a man with a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, and extraordinary temperament jumped down.

Immediately afterwards, the cockpits of the other four Lei Yu mechas opened, and a prestigious school-level officer jumped out.

Su Yuan walked down from the helipad with four of his subordinates, and immediately the entire metal helipad, carrying the mecha, automatically sank.

Su Ming looked at this scene and couldn't help but admire it secretly.

This is a real big family. There is a special underground hangar at home, and all the fourth-generation mechas are docked there. This foundation is really unparalleled.

Those who came down quickly came to greet Young Master Su Yuan.

"Congratulations, Master Su Yuan has been promoted to Brigadier General."

"Thank you everyone!"

Su Yuan replied with a smile on his face.

Su Ze introduced them to Su Ming and the others.

"That's my eldest cousin Su Yuan, who was just promoted to brigadier general."

"It's pretty awesome."

Su Ming took a look and praised.

"It's quite powerful."

Su Ze said with some emotion.

At this time, a huge roar came from the sky again. Su Ming and others were startled and turned their heads to look over.

At this time, a forty-two-meter-tall mecha, made entirely of sky blue metal, covered with intricate lightning patterns on its surface, with four pairs of mechanical auxiliary light wings embedded on its back, two plasma beam cannons embedded on its shoulders, holding two blue plasma light blades, and with two red moons, seven red stars, and ten black stars painted on its shoulders, fell down at an extremely fast speed. It was a pseudo-V-generation mecha, Thunder God.

The lawn split open again, and a huge helipad rose up.

Bang!
The pseudo V-generation mecha, Thunder God, landed on it fiercely.

At this time, two huge figures followed closely behind and landed on both sides of the pseudo V-generation mecha Yu Lei Shen.

Su Ming looked carefully and saw that the huge figure on the left was a forty-meter-tall mecha with a red glow all over its body. It had a plasma beam cannon embedded in its shoulder, four pairs of mechanical auxiliary light wings embedded in its back, and was holding a scarlet spear. It had a red moon, four red stars, and two black stars painted on its shoulder. It was a pseudo-V generation mecha, the Wrath of Red Lotus.

The huge figure on the right is a forty-three-meter-tall pseudo-V-generation mecha, the Cracker, covered in gray heavy armor, with two heavy particle light cannons embedded in its shoulders, four pairs of mechanical auxiliary light wings embedded in its back, and two plasma light swords in its hands. There is a black moon, five red stars, and six black stars painted on its shoulders, giving it a very oppressive feeling.

click!
At this time, the cockpit of the pseudo V-generation mecha, Thunder God, opened, and a woman wearing a blue fourth-generation armor, with long black hair, fair and delicate skin, eyebrows like crescent moons, slender and delicate, deep eyes, and a cold expression jumped down.

Soon after, the cockpit of the pseudo V-generation mecha, Crimson Wrath, opened, and a woman wearing red fourth-generation armor jumped down. She had an innocent face, bright and lively eyes, a delicate and cute nose, pink lips, but a very contrasting figure, with plump and upright breasts and a slender waist.

Finally, the cockpit of the pseudo V-generation mecha Cracker also opened, and a man wearing gray fourth-generation armor, with a dark face, sharp eyes, and a brave and fearless temperament, jumped out.

"Fake V-generation mecha! Who are these three people?"

Su Ming saw this scene and asked in surprise.

At this time Su Ze stood up and introduced Su Ming.

"That pseudo-V-generation mecha, the Thunder God, was developed jointly by our Thunder God Group and Ximaq Interstellar Heavy Industries. The one driving it is my eldest cousin, Su Yao! The woman next to her is Miss Bellis of Ximaq Interstellar Heavy Industries, and the other is Master Genit of Farenka Interstellar Heavy Industries. Like our family, they are both one of the seven major weapons suppliers of the Federation."

"I see!"

Su Ming kept looking at the three pseudo V-generation mechas, feeling extremely envious.

He knew better than anyone how big the gap was between the fourth-generation mecha and the pseudo-V-generation mecha.

Although Su Ming defeated Corgis who was controlling the pseudo V-generation mecha, he knew very well that it was just a technical trick.

At this time, Su Yuan saw Su Yao coming back, and immediately took people to meet her.

"Sister, you are back."

"Well, my family is holding a promotion banquet for you, so of course I have to come back to congratulate you."

Su Yao said indifferently.

"Thank you, sister."

Su Yuan was very happy to hear what Su Yao said.

"Let's go."

Su Yao said to Su Yuan calmly.

"it is good!"

Su Yuan then followed Su Yao and others and walked towards the castle.

The crowd followed them like stars surrounding the moon
At this time, Goodman and others could no longer sit still and stood up and spoke.

"Su Ze, Su Yuan and Su Yao are back, shouldn't we go over to say hello?"

"Yes, let's go together."

Su Ze immediately spoke.

"it is good!"

Su Rui nodded in response. He knew very well that although this kind of thing was vulgar, it was inevitable.

"You go ahead, I won't go."

Su Ming is not very interested in socializing.

"Well, sit here for a while."

After hearing this, Su Ze and others did not force Su Ming, after all, everyone has a different personality.

Seeing that Su Ming was not going, Chen Ying was a little reluctant to go over for a moment, but Zhou Zhang beside him urged her.

"Chen Ying, let's go too."

Chen Ying hesitated for a moment and then said to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, I'll go over there first and come back to see you later."

"Go."

Su Ming didn't care too much.

Chen Ying, Su Rui and others followed Su Ze towards Su Yao and the others.

Su Ming was sitting leisurely in a chair and watching. He found that Su Yuxuan also brought people to congratulate.

He couldn't help but shook his head, then turned and looked around.

There were almost no people on the entire observation deck; even the young ladies stood up and moved over.

Su Ming sat for a while, then stood up and walked towards the castle.
-
Behind the castle at this time.

There is a tranquil lake, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the lake, making it shine brightly.

At this time, a little old man about 1.5 meters tall, with pale hair, two extra long white beards, and sharp eyes was sitting on a chair, holding a fishing rod in his hand, fishing slowly.

This old man was none other than the Su family’s patriarch, Su Mulong.

Just then, a faint sound of footsteps was heard, and an old butler wearing a black tuxedo, with a slightly hunched body, a wrinkled face, and wise eyes walked over.

"Master, Zhentian is back."

"What did you say? Zhentian is back?"

After hearing this, Su Mulong threw the fishing rod aside and stood up with great excitement.

"Yes."

Butler Xi Lun replied respectfully.

At this moment, Su Mulong's face suddenly changed again. He sat down again and cursed angrily.

"Fuck, isn't he very capable? He said he would never step into this house again? Why is he back now?"

When Butler Xilun heard Su Mulong's words, he immediately showed a helpless expression and said.

"Master, it's almost over. You know Zhentian's temper. If you quarrel with him again, you may never see him again in this life."

"can not see"

The more Su Mulong spoke, the lower his voice became.

"Master, Zhentian didn't come back alone this time. He came back with his whole family."

Butler Xi Lun continued.

"Really?"

Su Mulong asked happily after hearing this.

"correct."

"Come on, take me to see him."

"Master, don't worry. It won't take a while. I have already arranged for Zhentian to sit at the main table."

Butler Xi Lun said with a smile.

"All right!"

After listening to this, Su Mulong pondered for a moment and replied.

On the other side, Su Ming walked to the castle gate.

He passed through the open gate and came to an empty courtyard, at the end of which was the door to the castle's main hall.

But the door is closed at the moment, and it will only be opened when the banquet begins.

There were long tables in the courtyard, covered with white lace cloth, and placed on them were exquisite fruit plates, cakes and drinks.

Many of the noble ladies who attended the banquet were here, chatting and laughing.

Not far away at this time.

Zhao Ning and a group of noble ladies gathered together.

At this time, a noble lady wearing a burgundy low-necked long dress, revealing her white collarbone, with black wavy hair falling on her shoulders and heavy makeup, spoke to Zhao Ning.

"Zhao Ning, I heard you still live in District 13."

"Yeah! District 13 is pretty good."

"Alas, what good can a dungeon be? It can't even get sunlight."

"You don't have to worry about that, sister-in-law."

Zhao Ning said to Liu Yi a little annoyed.

This Liu Yi is the wife of Zhao Ning's eldest brother, which means she is from her mother's family. It is said that she has the final say on all matters big and small in the Zhao family now.

"Oh, don't I feel sorry for you? I thought you would enjoy a good life if you married into the Su family, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

"I think it's pretty good."

Zhao Ning took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and replied.

At this time, a tall, dark-skinned, acne-stained man with a major's uniform came over and spoke to Liu Yi.

"Mother."

"Son, you're here. This is Aunt Zhao Ning."

Liu Yi then said to her son.

"Hello, aunt."

Zhao Kun greeted Zhao Ning coldly.

"Hello, I didn't expect you to be this big."

Zhao Ning said while keeping a smile.

"I'm telling you, Zhao Ning! My son is now a major! By the way, where's your son? Didn't you bring him this time?"

Liu Yi also asked proudly.

She knew better than anyone that Zhao Ning's son was a good-for-nothing.

At this time, the ladies around were all smiling but not saying a word, standing quietly watching the fun.

When Zhao Ning heard Liu Yi's sarcastic words, his blood pressure suddenly soared, and then he turned his head and looked around.

As a result, she saw Su Ming not far away.

Her eyes suddenly lit up and she said to Liu Yi.

"Wait a minute, I'll go call my son!"

After Zhao Ning finished speaking, he rushed over.

Su Ming, who was strolling around at this time, saw Zhao Ning walking towards him in a hurry and asked in confusion.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"Son, follow me!"

Zhao Ning then pulled Su Ming over. Su Ming was also confused and had no idea what was going on.

Soon Zhao Ning pulled Su Ming in front of Liu Yi and others, and then introduced him solemnly.

"This is my son Su Ming, he is also a major."

Liu Yi and others were also stunned and looked at Su Ming in disbelief.

"Is this your son?"

"That's right, Su Ming still doesn't call me aunt!"

Zhao Ning said to Su Ming with a smile.

"Hello, aunt."

Su Ming asked with symbolic politeness.

At this time, the lady next to her said in surprise.

"No way, is Zhao Ning's son so outstanding? He's already a major at such a young age?"

"Zhao Kun seems to be 49 years old this year."

Liu Yi's face suddenly turned very ugly, as if she had eaten fly poop.

Zhao Kun, who was standing by, heard everyone's discussion and his face looked unhappy.

But at this moment, a noble lady wearing a black evening dress, pearl earrings and an outstanding appearance came over from a distance, pulling a girl with straight black hair, fair skin, delicate appearance, clear eyes and wearing a white dress.

When Liu Yi saw the noble lady, she immediately pulled her son forward and greeted her enthusiastically.

"An Qian, you are here. This must be your daughter."

"Yes, this is my daughter An Ling."

An Qian replied with a smile.

Zhao Ning's face suddenly changed. He had clearly made an appointment with An Qian to let Su Ming have contact with her daughter.

It turns out that Liu Yi also fell in love with the An family.

She quickly pulled Su Ming up and greeted him with a smile.

"An Qian, you're here!"

An Qian nodded and said with a smile.

"Well, these two are your sons, right?"

"Yes, my son is very good. He has been promoted to major and serves as the deputy captain of the city defense in the Diyan Star Base City."

Liu Yi praised highly.

"My son is also very capable. He is also a major and is studying at the Imperial Court Academy."

Zhao Ning also praised Su Ming without reservation.

Su Ming was speechless when he saw this scene.

At this time, An Qian glanced at Su Ming, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she asked.

"How old is your son?"

"20 years old!"

"That's about the same age as An Ling. She's currently studying medicine and nursing at the Rain City Ammonsk Special Academy."

"That's great, they're a good match."

Zhao Ning saw that there seemed to be hope.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Yi immediately spoke up.

"An Qian, what era is this now? It all depends on the child's wishes. Why don't you ask her?"

"That makes sense. An Ling, you can come and have a chat. These are all our relatives, and they are all very nice people."

An Qian said to An Ling.

An Ling looked at Su Ming and Zhao Kun, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke in a soft voice.

"Mr. Su Ming, if you don't mind, let's take a walk."

"it is good!"

Su Ming replied politely.

When Liu Yi and Zhao Kun saw this scene, their faces suddenly turned dark.

The An family is a relatively large family, mainly engaged in mining, with very strong capital. In addition, An Ling has a very good reputation and many people pursue her.

At this time, Zhao Ning was also smiling, and she said to An Qian.

"Don't worry, I said they are a perfect match."

"Yeah, I didn't expect your son to be so handsome and outstanding!"

An Qian was also very satisfied.

Being able to reach this level at such a young age, and being a top student at the Imperial Court Academy, such conditions are excellent even in a big family.

At this time, Su Ming and An Ling were walking side by side.

The two were also silent, not knowing what to talk about.

At this time An Ling hesitated for a while, and finally spoke to Su Ming.

"Mr. Su Ming, you are actually quite nice. But I'm sorry, I have someone I like, but my mother and the others forced me to do it."

"Oh, I understand, it's okay!"

Su Ming's eyes lit up; this was exactly what he wanted.

"really?"

"Well, how about we go ahead and then separate?"

"okay, thank you."

An Ling replied gratefully.

"It's nothing, you're welcome."

Su Ming actually wanted to thank the other party in return.

Soon the two walked far away and then separated.

Su Ming then walked alone in the courtyard. At this time, Xiao Hui poked his head out and saw the fruits on the table next to him, and squeaked excitedly.

Su Ming smiled silently, then walked over, picked up crystal grapes from the table, and fed them to Xiao Hui leisurely.

Little Gray was very happy holding it and chewing it.

But at this time, Su Ming accidentally saw something in the distant corner.

Su Zhentian was talking to an old man who was wearing a luxurious blue robe, had slightly gray hair, wrinkles on his forehead, and had a serious expression.

This old man was none other than the current patriarch of the Su family, Su Feng.

He then picked up Xiao Hui and walked a little closer.

At this time, Su Feng's face was full of apology, and he said to Su Zhentian.

"Zhentian, I'm really sorry for what happened back then!"

"Brother, you don't have to apologize. That matter has nothing to do with you! Damn it, I'm going to beat him up!"

Su Zhentian replied angrily.

"Oh, why are you still in that temper?"

"Humph, if I had really lost the battle for deputy clan leader, I wouldn't have said a word! But Su Tianhao actually resorted to underhanded tactics, instigated my people to rebel, and took away the titanium stone that I was responsible for, causing the Thunder God Group to suffer heavy losses. If I don't beat him up, who else should I beat?"

"There's no evidence for this, and you were the one who lost the things, and yet you beat him up in front of my father."

"Okay, let's not talk about the past."

"Okay, no more."

Su Feng sighed and said.

When Su Ming heard this, he looked thoughtful.

At this moment, suddenly a series of gorgeous fireworks rose into the sky, exploding in the air.

Everyone looked at the blooming fireworks and then at the closed door of the castle hall.

creak!

At this time, the door slowly opened.

A tall woman wearing a red cheongsam walked out and stood on both sides of the gate.

Seeing this, Su Feng said to Su Zhentian.

"The time has come. The banquet is about to start. Let's go in."

Su Zhentian also had a stern face and walked in with Su Feng.

At this time, many guests also walked towards the open door.

When they walked to the gate, the women in red cheongsams would come forward to ask their names, and then lead them into the hall one by one.

Su Ming waited for a while and walked towards the gate when he saw that most people had entered.

At this time, Chen Ying saw Su Ming and ran over happily and shouted.

"Su Ming."

"Chen Ying, you haven't gone in yet."

Su Ming asked with a smile.

"Oh, this isn't waiting for you. Let's sit together. I don't have any close friends here."

Chen Ying said with a smile.

"no problem."

Su Ming agreed readily.

The two men then walked forward, and at this time two women in red cheongsams came over to meet them.

"Sir, what are your names?"

"Su Ming!"

"Chen Ying!"

Su Ming and Chen Ying simply replied.

"You two are not in the same position."

After listening to this, the two reception ladies looked at each other and said.

"Can you help us arrange that?"

Su Ming asked politely.

"No problem, then please follow me."

A receptionist said to the two of them.

Su Ming and Chen Ying followed her into the gate, and their vision suddenly became clear.

The entire hall is very spacious. On the towering dome hangs a miniature sun's eye, and its dazzling light illuminates the entire hall.

The floor of the hall was paved with gilded black-veined bricks, with complex patterns interweaving to form elegant designs, and the surrounding walls were carved with lifelike reliefs.

At this time, all the furnishings in the hall had been removed, and round tables had been set up. A wide aisle was left in the center area, and the floor was covered with a bright red carpet.

The bright red carpet continued to extend forward, finally reaching an eye-catching bloodwood round table, and there was a podium in front of the round table.

Soon Su Ming and Chen Ying were brought to a round table near the front.

Su Yao, Su Ying, Su Yuan and others were all sitting here. When they saw Su Ming, they all greeted him.

"Su Ming, you are here. Who is this?"

"My friend, Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ying."

Su Ming introduced with a smile.

"Hello."

Chen Ying greeted everyone present politely.

"Hello, please sit down!"

Su Yao and others responded quickly.

Su Ming and Chen Ying then sat down next to each other.

Zhao Ning, who was sitting next to Su Yuan at this time, originally wanted to ask how Su Ming and An Ling talked, but when he saw Su Ming with his friends, he gave up temporarily.

At this time Su Rui asked Su Yao curiously.

"Father, what's that table in front?"

"That's the main table. Only the core personnel of Thor Heavy Industry and the invited bigwigs can sit at that table. It is also a symbol of power and status!"

Su Yao introduced to Su Rui and others.

"I see!"

After listening to this, Su Rui and others nodded in response.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the scene, and Su Ming and others turned their heads to look over.

I saw an old man with frosty silver hair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a kind face and wearing a simple robe, walking towards the head table with Miss Bellis.

Su Yao introduced to everyone.

"That's Lord Berudo of Ximaq Interstellar Heavy Industries, also one of the seven major weapons dealers."

"I know this. When the three-school league was in progress, they were the most aggressive in advertising."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

At this time, an old man with a thin figure, broad forehead, calm face and wearing a black suit walked to the head table with Master Genette.

"That's Lord Fassad of Farenka Interstellar Heavy Industries, and one of the seven major weapons dealers in the Federation."

Su Yao then introduced.

At this time, Su Yao also took Su Yuan and walked towards the main table.

"Su Yao is the most promising of the younger generation of your Thunder God Group! He was promoted to major general a long time ago. As for Su Yuan, he is also very strong and has now been promoted to brigadier general."

Su Yao then introduced them to everyone.

Su Ming looked at Su Yao in surprise. He didn't expect that he knew the Zong family so well.

At this time, Su Zhentian, Su Yiyang and others also walked towards the main table.

Su Rui saw this scene and said to Su Yao.

"That's great, father. Grandpa is now at the main table."

"Yes."

Su Yao responded with some emotion.

Su Bin and others were very excited when they saw Su Zhentian sitting at the main table. This meant that grandpa still had a very high status in the clan family.

At this time, Su Ming noticed that next to Su Yiyang, there was an old man with a gloomy expression, sparse gray hair, and cold eyes.

If I'm not mistaken, this guy should be the deputy clan leader Su Tianhao.

At this time, clan leader Su Feng walked to the podium and said with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, be quiet for a moment!"

Suddenly, the noisy hall gradually became quiet.

"I am very happy that you all can come to attend the promotion banquet for my grandson Su Yuan. I would like to express my sincere gratitude here. Now I would like to invite my father and mother to come to the stage and say a few words."

Su Feng said with a smile.

At this time, Su Mulong walked onto the stage holding the hand of an old woman with gray hair, a slightly bent body, and a kind smile on her face.

clap clap!

There was warm applause.

At this time, Su Mulong raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then spoke in a loud voice.

"Fuck you, I won't say so much nonsense. Those who are here today are all brothers and friends from all corners of the world. You all came all the way here to give me, Su, face. Everyone, please eat and drink to your heart's content! If you don't eat and drink well, it's my fault for not treating you well. You can do whatever you want when you leave!"

"Ha ha!"

Everyone was also amused and laughed.

At this time, Su Mulong saw that the atmosphere was almost right, so he waved his hand and said.

"Have a banquet!"

After hearing this, many waiters brought up all the prepared dishes.

"Wow!"

Many people at the scene looked at the dishes being served and made sounds of surprise.

Su Ming was also a little shocked. The dishes served were not just luxurious, they were all made of precious natural ingredients.

Steamed dragon blood fish, stewed snow clam with rock sugar and bird's nest.
At this time, a woman in a red cheongsam came over with a bottle of aged red wine and asked the guests softly if they wanted to drink.

"Su Ming, eat quickly, this meal is very rare."

Chen Ying said to Su Ming.

"I know."

Su Ming replied slightly embarrassedly.

At this time, Su Mulong led his wife to the main table and sat down.

He turned his head to look at the silent Su Zhentian and wanted to say something.

But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips, he couldn't save his face.

At this time, Berudo smiled kindly and said to Su Mulong.

"Old buddy, I really envy you. Each of your children is so outstanding, and now even your great-grandson has made a name for himself and been promoted to brigadier general."

"Yes, it's really enviable! I remember Su Yuan was only 35 years old this year, and he's already a brigadier general at such a young age."

Fasad also praised it highly.

In fact, people in this era have a very long lifespan. Ordinary people can live 200-300 years old. For giants like them, all their descendants are either new humans or have been injected with genetic drugs, which extend their lifespans even longer. 35 years old is basically a young age.

"Fuck you, stop saying those meaningless things, as if your children are so bad. Let's have a drink together for our friendship and career!"

Su Mulong directly picked up a full glass of wine and spoke to everyone at the table.

"Haha, well said! Come on!"

Fasad and others raised their glasses and drank them all!

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively.

Everyone was eating and drinking while chatting.

At this time, Su Ming and Chen Ying also heard people at the nearby tables talking about the Thirteenth Legion.

"What do you think the Federation is thinking? The Thirteenth Legion has clearly returned, but they just won't show up."

“The media is not allowed to report publicly.”

“The internet is going crazy with discussion.”

At this time, Su Yao and others also started chatting.

Su Ming then lowered his head and ate in silence, occasionally feeding Xiao Hui some delicious food.

At this time Chen Ying came over and said in a low voice.

"Su Ming, do you feel something is wrong? The enthusiasm of the Thirteenth Legion has not only not faded, but has become even higher."

"Of course there is. This secrecy not only has no effect, but has the opposite effect."

When Su Ming said this, a strange expression appeared on his face.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something. Xinghui Fortress has not returned yet. Could this series of operations by the federal government be reverse operations?
on the main table.

Su Mulong was also happy, his face flushed from drinking, and he said to Fasad.

"Come on, have another drink!"

"it is good!"

Fassad responded very politely.

At this time, the old clan matriarch Lu Leisi, who was sitting next to Su Mulong, touched him gently with her hand and spoke softly.

"Stop drinking. It's almost time to entertain the other guests and the children who are going home."

Su Mulong spoke when he heard what Lu Leisi said.

"You guys drink first, I'll go entertain the other guests, Su Feng will take care of them!"

"Go ahead and leave us alone!"

Fassad and others replied with a smile.

Su Mulong and Lu Leisi stood up and walked towards other tables. Butler Xi Lun and a group of maids immediately followed behind them.

At this time, Su Mulong and others walked to the table of Maint and others.

"Lord Su Mulong!"

When Maint and others saw Su Mulong coming, they all stood up flattered.

"Sit down, don't be so polite. There are too many people here today. Please forgive me for not welcoming you well. I'll have a drink with you!"

Su Mulong took the small glass of red wine handed to him by Butler Xilun and said to Maint and others.

"it is good!"

Maint and others raised their glasses with smiles on their faces and drank them all.

"Take your time to eat. I'll go and serve the others."

Su Mulong then walked towards other tables.

At this time, Maint and others were also chatting in a very good mood.

"Oh, Lord Su Mulong is really nice, he doesn't put on airs at all!"

"Yes, he is of such a high status that he even entertained us personally."

At this time, Su Yao saw Su Mulong greeting guests at each table, and immediately reminded Su Rui and others.

"When your great-grandfather and great-grandmother come over later, you must be polite and don't embarrass your grandfather."

"Ok!"

Su Rui and others nodded.

At this time, Su Qiu suddenly noticed that Su Mulong and others were greeting a table of guests, and his great-grandmother was still handing out red envelopes to people. He immediately became excited and asked.

"Uncle, I saw that my great-grandmother seemed to be giving out red envelopes. If she gave them to us, could we take them?"

"If it's given by an elder, just accept it politely, but don't be surprised."

Su Yao reminded in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

Su Qiu and others replied with great joy.

Not long after, Su Mulong and Lu Leisi came to Su Ming's table.

Su Yao and others immediately stood up and asked.

"grandparents!"

"Great-grandfather, great-grandmother!"

"Fuck you guys, you guys are finally home. You guys have all grown up."

Su Mulong looked at Su Yao and others and was also very happy.

These are his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

"It's good that you're back. Come home more often in the future."

Lulace said kindly.

"Come, have a drink with this old man like me!"

Su Mulong then raised his glass and said.

"Ok!"

Su Yao and others raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

Then Su Mulong accompanied Lu Leisi and walked in front of Su Rui.

Lu Leisi took out a stack of red envelopes, and Butler Xi Lun immediately stepped forward to introduce them.

"This is your great-grandson, Master Su Rui."

"Well, you've grown so big that I can hardly recognize you. Here, this is a little gift from your great-grandmother."

Lu Leisi picked up a red envelope and handed it to Su Rui.

“Thank you, great-grandma!”

Su Rui said politely.

"Good boy, sit down!"

Lulei said kindly, then walked towards Soobin.

She gave red envelopes to all the juniors one by one.

After Su Bin and others received the red envelope, they all had excited smiles on their faces. The red envelope was very thin and it was obvious that it contained cash checks.

Soon, Lu Leisi and the others walked up to Su Ming.

Butler Xi Lun said respectfully.

"This is your great-grandson, Master Su Ming."

"Yes, he is very handsome. Here is a little gift from my great-grandmother."

Lu Leisi kindly picked up a red envelope and handed it to Su Ming.

Su Ming took the red envelope with both hands and replied politely.

"Thank you, great-grandfather and great-grandmother!"

At this time, Su Mulong looked at Su Ming with a smile on his face, then he was stunned, frowned, and asked in confusion.

"Su Ming, have we met somewhere before?"

Su Ming was also stunned when he heard Su Mulong's words, and looked at Su Mulong in surprise.

"No."

When everyone present heard Su Mulong's words, they all showed surprised expressions.

Su Yao quickly explained.

“Grandpa, Su Ming has never been to the Zong family, so it’s impossible for you to have seen him.”

"Grandpa, you must have seen it wrong. Su Ming used to stay in District 13 and never came back."

Su Yuan also quickly followed up to explain.

"Old man, are you drunk? Everyone looks like someone you've seen before."

Lu Leisi also felt that it was impossible for Su Mulong to have met Su Ming.

Su Mulong looked Su Ming up and down, his expression constantly changing, and then he asked.

"Su Ming, have you been to the parliament recently?"

After these words were spoken, everyone was even more shocked.

Su Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he had a very bad feeling. However, he still managed to force a smile and replied.

"No, no!"

After listening to Su Ming's words, Su Mulong raised his finger and pointed at Su Ming and said.

"Fuck you, it's you!"

"Old man, what are you doing? Don't scare the children."

Lu Leisi reminded Su Mulong.

"You can't be wrong, just follow me."

Su Mulong then reached out and pulled Su Ming up, and walked towards the main table.

Su Yao and others were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

Su Ming’s head was also buzzing.

At this time, the guests present saw Su Mulong pulling Su Ming to the main table and letting him sit next to him.

Everyone was in an uproar.

"what's the situation?"

"Who is that person? He was pulled to the main table."

"I don't know!"

“That’s the main table!”
