#359 - Chapter 359 Points System and Coincidence
“Wu Wei....”
Hearing this unfamiliar yet familiar name, Shi Wushuang, who was originally drinking soup, suddenly raised his head.
Seeing her father like this, Shi Yinuo couldn't help but be taken aback.
Deep doubt appeared in her heart.
Because she felt that her father, the great emperor of the empire, seemed to know Wu Wei, this insignificant little figure.
“Father, do you...”
“Know him?”
With such doubts, Shi Yinuo asked him.
Just as mentioned earlier, in this magnificent palace, the atmosphere at this dining table was the most relaxed.
Shi Wushuang would answer many things at this dining table that he would never mention on ordinary days.
But this time was different, Shi Wushuang did not give Shi Yinuo an answer.
He simply lowered his head and continued to drink the soup in his bowl, as if he couldn't hear Shi Yinuo's question.
Seeing her father like this, Shi Yinuo stopped asking.
The father and daughter quietly ate dinner, without saying another word.
Finally, after finishing the meal, Shi Wushuang put down the spoon in his hand.
Shi Yinuo also vigilantly stopped all movements, sitting upright in her chair, waiting for something.
Sure enough, after finishing dinner, Shi Wushuang spoke.
He said to Shi Yinuo with a serious face.
“My daughter, I hope you can learn a lesson from today's events.”
“No matter how weak your enemy may seem, you must go all out and ensure absolute safety!”
“More importantly, you must absolutely, remember, absolutely not get hurt, and you must not let your enemy get your blood, not even a single drop!”
“This is not excessive caution, but a rule you must abide by.”
“Because in this world, there are too many evil and terrifying beings that can curse you and control your mind through your blood.”
“And the so-called [Blood Must Not Leave] is also one of the rules set by the ancestors of the Shi family.”
“After all, in their era, blood had its unique meaning.”
“I understand, Father.”
Shi Yinuo nodded very obediently, perfectly concealing the anger and dissatisfaction in her heart.
Seeing Shi Yinuo like this, Shi Wushuang sighed silently.
“Alright, let's not talk about these things for now.”
“How long has it been since we last met, father and daughter? Almost a year, right?”
“Your fiancé... that, what's his name, Liu Zixin of the Liu family, how is he growing up?”
Shi Wushuang asked.
It seemed that he was very concerned about this issue.
Shi Yinuo answered very honestly.
“He is growing up very well, you didn't misjudge him, his academic score in the War College is the first, far exceeding the previous first place students.”
“Not only do the instructors value him, but even the president of the War College, Old Man Han Xuan, appreciates him very much.”
“Even this year's freshman assessment was his responsibility.”
“As long as he persists for another year, after graduation, he can become the true [Uncrowned King] of the War College with the first place score.”
“At that time, he will definitely be the strongest lord in the empire!”
Seeming to realize that what she said was a bit too much, Shi Yinuo quickly changed her words.
“Of course, he is the number one in the younger generation!”
“Oh? Sounds pretty good.”
Hearing Shi Yinuo say this, Shi Wushuang smiled extremely rarely.
“If he can really do this, really graduate with the first place score, then congratulations, my daughter, you will gain a good husband.”
After receiving her father's approval, Shi Yinuo's eyes lit up.
Because she had already guessed what she would “get” after her father said this.
Sure enough, in Shi Yinuo's expectant gaze, Shi Wushuang took out a notebook from his personal space.
“Although you are not yet married, your vision has already earned you a point.”
“In terms of finding a partner, you are much better than your elder brother.”
After speaking, Shi Wushuang wrote something in this notebook.
“My daughter, your current score has reached fifty-six points.”
“With this one point, the score gap between you and your elder brother has narrowed to within ten points.”
“In other words, you are less than ten points away from the right to inherit the throne under me!”
Hearing her father say this, Shi Yinuo's heart couldn't help but beat violently.
This was the best thing she had heard in a while!
That's right, the secret of the imperial throne succession that the outside world speculated about has actually been revealed by half here.
Within the extremely strict imperial family, they have such an extremely imprecise and extremely “unreliable” scoring system!
The ridiculous thing is that this scoring system, which is neither advanced nor precise, can determine the fate of the entire human empire!
But this is not something worth mentioning too much.
After all, the royal family does not need to be responsible to the subjects at the bottom of the empire, in other words, they do not need to be responsible for the source of power.
In addition, the subjects of the empire naturally have a strong sense of mystery and fear towards the royal family, so they would not think that such a ridiculous scoring system would become the basis for the royal family to rule them.
However, all of the above is not the most core point.
The most core point is that the so-called royal family does not actually need to pay attention to them.
Because the Shi family, as a royal family, is essentially the most powerful and oldest family within the entire empire!
In the face of absolute strength, they simply do not need to care about any thoughts of most of the lower-level lords of the empire.
However, this is still not all the secrets of the inheritance of the imperial emperor.
Because the biggest secret in the inheritance of the imperial emperor has never been revealed....

“Okay, Father!”
After hearing Shi Wushuang say this, the joy in Shi Yinuo's eyes could no longer be concealed.
But Shi Wushuang obviously didn't care about this.
He also smiled and said to Shi Yinuo.
“Alright, my daughter.”
“You have been delayed in the palace for too long, it is time for you to leave here and return to the War College to continue your studies.”
Hearing her father say this, Shi Yinuo decisively ended this dinner.
After completing a complete set of royal etiquette, Shi Yinuo was taken away from here and left the palace by four royal guards, just like when she came.
After she left the restaurant, the smile that Shi Wushuang had maintained at the dining table instantly disappeared.
His expression also became very strange.
“That child's name is Wu Wei.....”
“Is this a coincidence?”
Shi Wushuang stood up and looked out the window.
Countless sealed memories flooded into his mind.
