“Shushu, this child has always had a strong sense of responsibility since she was little. She wants to be thorough in everything she does and is determined to get into military academy. If I had known what would happen later…” Su Wangqiu said with both pride and heartache when she mentioned Su Shu, “I shouldn’t have agreed to let her go to the First Military Academy in the first place.”

Helian Jue advised, "Grandpa, even if you disagree with what Mother has decided, she will find a way to do it."

Su Wangqiu still cannot get over it and always believes that Su Shu's misfortune was caused by him.

After Su Shu disappeared, Su Wangqiu fell seriously ill. He only recovered slightly with everyone's encouragement, but Helian Jue knew that her grandfather was still worried about her.

"This morning I saw Jue'er wandering around under the porch of the house." Su Wangqiu readjusted her emotions in the blink of an eye.

Helian Jue went straight to the point, asking directly about the carvings on the house.

Qiao You also stared at Su Wangqiu with longing eyes, wondering why he was in the carving.

The mermaid palace depicted in the sculpture is exactly the same as the decorations at the entrance of his ancient Earth home, including two large corals at the entrance...

Su Wangqiu glanced at Helian Jue and Qiao You, and began to recount the story of how each generation of Su family heads would pass on their positions orally from the previous head of the family.

The first head of the Su family accidentally entered an underwater world hidden deep in the ocean during an accident. There, there were also magnificent palaces and well-ordered clans.

That is the home of the mermaid race.

Su Wangqiu continued, "The Su family made their fortune through trade. During one of their voyages, they accidentally fell into the sea and were rescued by a little mermaid."

"These sculptures are all to commemorate that friendly and kind mermaid tribe."

Qiao You's mind raced. Did the tribe have fish to save people?

When he and Xiao Hu were adrift at sea, they would secretly help ships that ran aground or people who fell into the water.

He had saved people... He seemed to have saved them several times, but he really had no recollection of that Su family ancestor.

Helian Jue knew what Xiaoyu was thinking, "Grandpa, what was the name of the first head of the Su family?"

"Su Xuanyu".

Qiao You repeated the name several times, but he had no recollection of it.

"It is said that the mermaid race is exactly the same as the current spirit pet merfolk, and they are indistinguishable." Su Wangqiu looked at Qiao You, "Our family has really benefited a lot from the kindness of mermaids and merfolk."

"Without that little mermaid who saved our ancestors, there would be no Su family; and you and Yinchen, who suffered the most severe damage to our spiritual power, both have obedient and clever spirit pets." Her tone was full of gratitude. "This is also one of the reasons why Shushu insisted on establishing the Spirit Pet Pavilion."

Helian Jue tightened his grip on Qiao You's arm, "When Mother founded the Spirit Pet Pavilion..."

"Your mother has great courage," Su Wangqiu commented. Of the two children, Su Shu was more resolute, upright, and persistent than Su Sang. "Back then, a group of radicals emerged among the people of the empire, claiming that resources were limited and that people had to be prioritized. They suggested that creatures like merfolk, snakes, and birds could be driven to remote planets..."

"Or perhaps it could be used for various research projects, but Shushu couldn't bear to do that."

"At the same time, the interstellar people were experiencing mental problems. Shushu spent nearly two years researching the feasibility of mental comfort."

"After that, despite the opposition from all sides, he established the Spirit Pet Pavilion." Su Wangqiu said, "In half a year, Shushu's hovercar had fourteen accidents, her spaceship had seven, and even her residence was rigged with an electronic bomb."

"That time, Shushu was seriously injured and was brought back to Yunlai Star to recuperate. She looked at me with a spirited expression and said, 'Our Su family has benefited from the mermaid race. How can we stand by and watch their race die?'" Su Wangqiu said this with a smile, but tears still involuntarily streamed down her face.

The Su family's roots are here, and as members of the Su family, they have their own unique mission.

Furthermore, humans exist in the universe, as do other species. Everyone has the right to grow freely, rather than being confined to cold laboratories or petri dishes.
