A total of six people intruded, three men and three women, including one A-level and two B-levels.

Fortunately, the Qi Gathering Array hasn't been activated yet, otherwise, it would have been quite a spectacle.

Even so, Qu Jianlei had no intention of letting them off the hook—since they dared to trespass into private property, they should bear the consequences.

However, Yuanyuan looked a bit embarrassed, "It seems... they're acquaintances."

Acquaintances? Qu Jianlei was also helpless, "Then keep them outside the first Defense Array, and I won't go out."

"They wouldn't dare trespass," Yuanyuan flashed her figure and confronted them, "the Defense Array consumes energy!"

Qu Jianlei didn't show himself but slightly released his perception ability outwards so that he could intervene in time if things went wrong.

What he didn't expect was that after Yuanyuan stepped forward, she first called out to the woman with the A-level Water Attribute.

"Grandmother, why are you here?"

This was... very surprising. Wasn't your family supposed to be away from the Celestial Hook Star?

The grandmother didn't look very old, just like a middle-aged woman, and she was small in stature, similar to Yuanyuan.

But the two didn't look... very much alike, Yuanyuan was much prettier.

Seeing Yuanyuan, the grandmother's eyes revealed a trace of a smile, then she snorted coldly.

"Why am I here... If I didn't come, you'd give me more great-grandchildren already!"

"It's not like that," Yuanyuan immediately objected, "Grandmother, that's just... a friend!"

"No need to explain to me," the grandmother gestured dismissively, indicating she was straightforward.

"How long have you been hiding here, even driving Kate and her husband away, what's your plan?"

"Turns out they betrayed me!" Yuanyuan's eyes widened, "And to think I said I'll still pay them!"

"Enough," the grandmother snorted, "where's that fellow? Get him out here, is he that cowardly?"

"I really haven't done anything!" Yuanyuan cried out, her attitude a bit harsh, "Say one more word, and I'll get angry!"

"You silly girl!" the grandmother sighed in frustration, "I'm just trying to look out for you, is that wrong?"

"Don't say such things!" Yuanyuan's voice grew louder, "If you keep this up, I won't come home anymore!"

"I'm afraid you'll be deceived!" the grandmother also raised her voice, "Get that guy out here, or else I'll break his legs."

Seeing she was truly angry, Yuanyuan finally lowered her voice.

"Don't say that, my friend has a bad temper and strong combat power; he instant-killed the Farmer and Heart Erosion!"

"Those two are dead?" Hearing this, the grandmother was taken aback, as those two were well-known in the entire Star Realm.

But immediately, she coldly sneered, "That level of combat power is just passable, really not impressive."

She didn't want to argue with her granddaughter anymore, looking up towards Half-Star Island with a stern face. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Young man, will you come out on your own, or do I have to drag you out?"

"Sigh," Qu Jianlei sighed softly, "Senior, Yuanyuan and I are innocent."

"Since you've arrived, you must know about the Four Kings and the Empress. If I were you, I'd go find those four."

"No matter what, you're currently living on my family's property!" the grandmother spoke expressionlessly.

"The host is here, as a guest, shouldn't you show yourself?"

Qu Jianlei wavered slightly, appearing on top of a building.

He looked rather frustrated, "Yuanyuan, you've really caused trouble for others... I want to leave now."

"Grandmother, please stop," Yuanyuan pleaded, "if you continue, I won't have any friends left!"

"First of all, he has to be worthy to be your friend!" the grandmother replied calmly, "Most strong ones are solitary."

Then she looked at Qu Jianlei, expressionlessly stating, "You want to leave, then I have to allow it first."

Qu Jianlei nonchalantly grinned, "Are you saying that the Supreme figure behind you can stop me?"

"Supreme?" Upon hearing this, Yuanyuan was taken aback, looking at the ordinary woman behind her grandmother, "You are..."

The woman didn't reply, just stood there silently.

"You do have a keen eye," the grandmother slightly nodded, "but do you think you can withstand it?"

"I can't withstand it," Qu Jianlei straightforwardly shook his head, "but I can try to escape."

"You really are..." the grandmother thought this remark was quite incredible.

"Do you know the strength of this senior sister? Never mind, if you can guess her attribute, then I've underestimated you."

Qu Jianlei looked at the ordinary woman, expressionlessly stating, "I always thought sand isn't merely a Gold Attribute mutation."

"Hmm?" The woman, originally just watching the scene silently, raised an eyebrow at this remark.

But after pausing for a moment, she still calmly stated, "You are mistaken, I am Earth Attribute."

"Whether you're mistaken, you know in your heart," Qu Jianlei didn't argue with her, just casually responded.

The response didn't need in-depth scrutiny, but his attitude at this moment was what truly irritated the other side.

What does this indicate? It shows he doesn't care what the opponent thinks, not even bothering to argue.

This blatant disregard would be intolerable even for ordinary people, let alone for the Supreme?

A faint trace of disgust flashed in the eyes of the ordinary woman, yet she made no reaction, as indifferent as a deity.

Upon seeing this, the grandmother's heart sank, quickly putting on a stern face, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

She knew the nature of this person; in her heart, the intent to kill had already sprouted. It was only due to the status of the Supreme that she was reluctant to act rashly.

And her visit this time, she just wanted to see what kind of man her granddaughter had chosen.

Yuanyuan was a rare genius in the family, usually with very high standards, unlikely to be moved by just anyone.

To the grandmother, a fleeting romance among the younger generation wasn't of much concern, but if they truly wish to stay together long-term, it must be taken seriously.

It was fine for the granddaughter to bring someone to Half-Star Island, but staying there for ten days or more was a problem.

Old Kate and his wife were also paying attention to the place; they dared not approach, yet they knew about Yuanyuan's comings and goings from Half-Star Island.

Sensing something amiss, they quickly reported it—for Miss had never lived alone with a man.

Grandmother hadn't cared initially, thinking Yuanyuan had awakened to love, but ten days later she realized: is the awakening a bit too extensive?

She didn't want the family's outstanding descendants to make any mistakes, so she had to come and see.

She wasn't intent on confronting him, and even if it felt inappropriate, her priority would be to persuade them apart.

The granddaughter was still young and rather strong-willed; she didn't want to leave her with any psychological shadow.

However, if it were truly unsuitable, she wouldn't mind forcibly separating them, even considering the possibility of eliminating him.

Precisely for this reason, she invited a Supreme to accompany her.

According to the Kates, the other party was moderately skilled, but the grandmother didn't think they couldn't handle it.

She was only considering that there might be heavy losses on their side, and if the Supreme took a life, the consequences wouldn't be as grave.

However, this didn't mean she immediately dismissed the other party.

She spoke coldly, "I'll give you a chance to explain now; do not make a mistake."

Qu Jianlei paid her no mind at all, instead quietly perceiving the Supreme.

This woman's Concealing Breath technique was excellent. If she hadn't been attempting to sense Half-Star Island and triggered a faint reaction from the defense array, Qu Jianlei might not have realized that such an unremarkable woman was actually a Supreme!

He had a feeling that this woman was perhaps the most troublesome Supreme he had ever encountered.

He casually said, "Yuanyuan, you say something yourself."

Yuanyuan helplessly covered her forehead, speaking with a pained expression, "Grandmother, we are together just to cultivate!"

"Cultivate?" The grandmother sneered with anger, "Alright then, let me see how you cultivate."

She was very supportive of her granddaughter's cultivation, but two young people of the opposite sex living together for a long time, and you tell me it's for cultivation?

In the next moment, an aura of profound mysteries rose from the ordinary woman, spreading toward Half-Star Island.

The woman initially hadn't planned to reveal her presence, but since her cover was blown, she showed the responsibility of a Supreme.

Previously, she simply disliked trouble, but now, with the other side appearing fearless, her lack of action might lead others to look down on her.

Currently, the three-layer defense array on the island only had two layers activated, and they were the lowest levels of defense.

These two defense layers were merely B-level, whereas the woman's perception ability was at a Supreme level.

Even if all three defense layers were fully activated, they couldn't prevent her forced perception, at most serving as a warning mechanism.

In an instant, Qu Jianlei's expression became exceedingly grim, followed by a light sigh.

"Hmm?" Immediately, the woman's expression changed too, giving him a peculiar look.

Grandmother was a bit worried she might suddenly attack, and was unwilling to directly pry into her granddaughter's privacy, so she had to speak up.

"Is there something wrong, ma'am?"

"Hey," the ordinary woman snorted coldly, pursing her lips before speaking slowly, "You shouldn't have come."

"Shouldn't have come?" Grandmother furrowed her brows, "What do you mean by that?"

The ordinary woman didn't speak, just cast a faint glance at her four companions.

Those four naturally understood what she meant, but they weren't the Supreme's followers, so they could only look toward their own matriarch.

Grandmother thought for a second, then nodded slightly, "You all retreat to the shore first."

She brought trustworthy people, but what could prompt a Supreme to stop mid-sentence surely wasn't trivial, was it?

Moreover, her granddaughter had already reached the pinnacle of A-level, so the matter at hand couldn't possibly be minor.

The shore was over two kilometers from the gate, but there was no choice, as two of the four were B-level, making it unsuitable to talk nearby.

Upon hearing this, the four retreated, and the Supreme finally snorted, speaking with a peculiar expression, "They... are indeed cultivating."

"How…" Grandmother nearly questioned, but forcibly changed her words, "Is there something wrong?"

"This is…" Even the ordinary woman didn't know how to describe it.

After discovering the Qi Gathering Array on Half-Star Island, she finally understood why the other party had such an attitude.

Had she known it was such a trivial matter, she definitely wouldn't have come to Celestial Hook.
