The phrase "brother-in-law" in the mouth of the prince Su Can is what really makes Su Mu feel full of absurdity, but he has to admit... This is the illusion created by himself and Su Tong.
And before that, the contact between Su Mu and the prince Su Can was limited to the occasion when Su Tong was present.
In fact, there was almost no separate communication between the two of them.
So when Su Can suddenly found Su Mu, and with an extremely serious attitude, tried to ask some questions about Su Tong from Su Mu.
Su Mu couldn't guess the real cause of Su Can's problem.
However, as the prince of the Empire, Su Can, even if he has been a guest in the Science Federation for several years, his words and deeds still carry enough weight.
I saw that with the appearance of Su Can, not only Jiang Lan and Mao Ni'er retreated silently, and even the soldiers of the Xuankong Mountain Corps who were in charge of guarding on the deck also avoided the position where they could not hear the conversation clearly.
On the empty feather ship deck, only Su Can and Su Mu were left in an instant.
Seeing that Su Mu did not immediately answer, Su Can did not continue to wait. Instead, following the topic just mentioned, he asked Su Mu again:
"Although the emperor told me in advance that she will come to the Science Federation together. But as to why she came and why she would experience those dangers on the road, she actually never told me."
"However, in the current situation of the emperor, no matter what purpose she has, I still have to worry about her. So, can you tell me the reason for her coming to the Federation?"
The request of the prince Su Can is simply not too reasonable.
So that Su Mu couldn't find any excuses for prevarication for a while.
But the real crux of the problem is that regarding Su Tong's real purpose, not to mention that Su Can has never heard of it. In fact, even Su Mu just vaguely guessed.
Even Su Mu's guess, if it is really correct.
So the first person to hide this plan is the prince Su Can.
…
"Why don't you ask her directly?"
Su Mu's answer was actually no answer at all.
Turning around, he threw the question raised by Su Can back to Su Can himself again.
Fortunately, the prince Su Can is almost the same age as Su Tong, but he has not cultivated Su Tong's agility in the whirlpool of power, nor has he noticed Su Mu's excuse.
Facing Su Mu's rhetorical question, he answered extremely honestly:
"The emperor has been smarter than me since I was a child. Although she is a brother and sister of identical twins, she has always been the father's favorite child. And because of this love, the emperor has actually received several other emperors since childhood. Brother’s jealousy. It is always in constant self-protection to pretend to be as carefree as me."
"So from when we were very young, in order to prevent me from getting involved in the vortex, the emperor always faintly excluded me from her side, and would never tell me anything about her own situation. If you ask the emperor in person, she might not only not tell me, but she will even order me not to continue to ask questions."
Su Can said this, but looked at Su Mu in front of him very seriously.
Then, in a tone mixed with envy, he explained the reason why he came to inquire Su Mu:
"Since childhood, the emperor has been the smartest of all people. No one can share her worries, and she will never tell outsiders about her hardships. Even before you appeared, I had never I have imagined that the emperor will completely give the decision-making power related to her to others to use."
"So, I can only come to ask you. Because so far, you are the only person who can make the emperor depend on it. If I want to really help the emperor, I am afraid that it will only be through your help."
Su Can didn't conceal all the reasons for making this decision to such a straightforward gangster.
However, Su Mu today is not only unable to give the answer Su Can wanted. Even because of this, I heard more about Su Tong's past from Su Can's own mouth.
Therefore, for a while, even Su Mu was slightly embarrassed, and had to go around the bend and say with relief:
"As far as your status is concerned, you must be very clear. The reason why Su Tong didn't tell you the matter must be to protect you to some extent. And since she thinks you can't help, then maybe you still Keeping the silence today is the greatest support for Su Tong."
After saying this, even Su Mu felt that such prevarication was a bit too much.
After all, I still had to change the conversation, giving Su Can a little hope:
"As for your will, I will convey it to your emperor sister more tactfully. Some things are actually not deliberately concealed from you, it's just...the answer is not yet revealed!"
…
When Su Mu was polite and finally persuaded the prince Su Can, the feather ship had already crossed the cascading clouds and flew directly away from the southeastern province under the jurisdiction of the city of Safest.
The existence of the Qi-powered feathership, although it did not reach the speed of the flight in Su Mu's memory.
But it can easily cross any terrain obstacle, but it is already the fastest transportation method in the world.
I saw the feather ship soaring in the sky, like a swimming fish jumping above the clouds, always steadily above the white clouds, and driving the airflow at extreme speed.
Even the feathership itself, just like the confined space of a flight, is also covered with solidified magic that maintains a stable internal airflow.
So even if the altitude continued to rise, Su Mu didn't feel the temperature drop at all.
And as the featherboat climbs to a certain height and enters a smooth sailing like a flight, it is hard to feel the reality of flying.
No longer the summer sun blocked by clouds, it was even more blazing hot on the deck.
Su Mudu had to squint his eyes to see the mountains and rivers on the earth.
"What did he say to you?"
A faint but stubborn voice sounded softly from behind Su Mu.
Su Mu was a little bit dumbfounded and laughed, looking back at Su Tong who couldn't help coming to the deck after all, but quietly gave her a reassuring reply:
"Just like you care about him, he only cares about you."
Su Tong heard the sound, subconsciously wanted to show a smile, but then hurriedly hid from Su Mu's eyes.
Su Mu didn't break it when he saw it, but continued to say as he promised Su Can:
"Although there are some things, like Su Can's innocent character, you really don't need to know. But in fact, on the other hand, you can't keep him from seeing the darkness for a lifetime. The better you protect him now. , When he had to face everything, the blow to him was really huge."
"Perhaps, you should also share a little bit of the secrets in your heart with me or him. Every time we get to know you, your own pressure will be less."
"After all, the sunlight that can completely envelop you, only after you take the initiative to pass through the clouds... it can shine on you all the time!"
