The two of them boarded the flying ship, and the fleet flew toward the Capital Star Palace. They passed through many checkpoints on the way and finally landed at an open landing point.
After getting off the flying ship, they took the hover car again, and the palace guards acted as drivers for the two of them.
As Su Yi admired the scenery along the way, the most profound impression she had was its size.
In the last world, as a princess, she was also a frequent visitor to the palace.
At that time, she felt that the palace was too big to be tiring. Every time she and the Empress went to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, there was a group of concubines of lower status who walked breathlessly because they were not qualified to ride in sedan chairs.
This time, after seeing the emperor’s palace, she realized what it meant to be dwarfed by a giant.
After all, it is the space age, and the capital of the empire alone occupies an entire planet. If the emperor does not give himself a territory that he cannot walk through in a day, he would probably be embarrassed to call it the imperial palace.
The two of them were brought into a magnificent building, which looked like it was specially used for people waiting to be summoned by the emperor.
Guards were standing outside the door and beautiful young girls served them tea and desserts.
Su Yi tasted the exquisite cream cake and nodded in her heart immediately. It didn’t matter whether she met the emperor or not. The chef’s skills in the palace were indeed superb and extraordinary. This trip was worth it.
Seeing this, Huo Jun pushed the small plate in front of him to her.
“You don’t want to eat?” Su Yi asked, holding up a small fork.
“I’m not very interested in sweets.” Huo Jun said.
Su Yi was very suspicious: “Really? Was the ice cream you ate that day salty?”
Being exposed by her words, Huo Jun had to admit honestly: “I have no appetite now.”
Su Yi could understand his mood.
Although he looked arrogant and was the boss of many people in the academy, he was still young after all. It was the first time for him to meet his biological father. Regardless of expectation or not, he must be nervous.
She patted his hand on the table and said, “Relax. Let’s just think of it as buying a rare ticket to see a very rare animal that can talk. When the time comes, you can chat with him according to your mood.”
Huo Jun laughed, “What kind of metaphor is this?”
“Nonsense metaphor.” Su Yi said seriously.
Huo Jun laughed again, and after a while, he said, “In fact, someone contacted me two days ago and said he wanted to see me, but I ignored him. I guess this is why he sent so many people today.”
Su Yi nodded with a mouthful of pudding in her mouth.
Perhaps all those in power have a common problem: They have a strong desire for control and everyone must act according to their arrangements.
This emperor was no exception.
He did not acknowledge Huo Jun in the past, and for the past 10 to 20 years, he treated this son as if he did not exist. Now he had to see him.
If Huo Jun resisted today, it was estimated that next time, the other party would send more guards or directly put pressure on his maternal grandfather, forcing Huo Jun to come and see him.
Just as Su Yi said before, she thought that Huo Jun’s compromise at this moment was not a sign of weakness, but a strategy when his own strength was insufficient.
The so-called strong person does not necessarily have to be blindly strong.
If she had only known how to show off her strength and bravery after so many years in the Demon World, she would probably have been reincarnated countless times.
Being able to bend and stretch, and being both strong and resilient, is Su Yi’s way of survival.
Facts have proved that it is this way of doing things that has brought her to where she is today and allows her to accumulate enough capital to do whatever she wants.
Just as she said before, she could directly help Huo Jun and clear all the obstacles in front of him so that he wouldn’t have to worry so much. She had the absolute strength to do so.
But that kind of result was neither what she wanted nor what Huo Jun wanted.
He wouldn’t expect her to arrange everything for him. His strength did not come partly from his actual strength, but more from his character, a character that could grow the more adverse the situation.
What Su Yi had to do was to accompany and witness his growth.
She believed that as long as Huo Jun was given time, he would eventually be better than the current scum emperor.
Just imagine, when the time comes, the emperor will find that the person, who has been under his control, has grown strong enough and is no longer under his control. His expression will surely be very interesting.
About half an hour later, someone came to ask for Huo Jun, but the emperor only summoned him.
Originally, Su Yi was brought along, so she was not surprised.
She waved to Huo Jun and said, “Go early and come back early.”
Huo Jun, however, looked worried.
