The ordinary woman couldn't tolerate Qu Jianlei's offense; who among the supreme beings doesn't have a temper?

But this matter is really tricky, and she is not someone who likes trouble.

In the end, she could only helplessly point to Half-Star Island, "Go see for yourself."

"Don't go in!" Yuanyuan jumped high and shouted fiercely, "It will cause big trouble!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Her grandmother was startled by her reaction, and upon reconsidering the supreme's reaction, her expression finally changed slightly.

This granddaughter of hers might have done something remarkable.

Yuanyuan didn't mind her and instead turned to look at Qu Jianlei, her face full of helplessness, "Sorry, it's me..."

"Forget it," Qu Jianlei waved his hand despondently, "This supreme being, please leave a name!"

The other party had already discovered the Qi Gathering Array, anything more said would be too late.

Fight? Not worth it, anyway, the other party is Yuanyuan's elder, and judging by the appearance, they have quite a background too.

The key point is that the other visitors didn't come with ill intentions, and he couldn't bring himself to silence them indiscriminately.

Nonetheless, being annoyed is inevitable, hence the question arose.

However, when the female supreme heard this, her temper flared up too.

But her expression, instead, became increasingly calm, "Quite bold, huh? Why should I tell you?"

Qu Jianlei gave her a sidelong glance, pondered for a moment, and then waved his hand, "Forget it, I will find out myself."

The number of supremes in the Empire is limited, and traces can always be followed, especially given that she came with Yuanyuan's grandmother.

This kind of trail can't be hidden from people; even if she wanted to silence everyone, could she really kill that many people?

You think I dare not? The ordinary woman grew increasingly irritated; she did not have a good temper.

If someone else had spoken like this, she would already have punished them, making them understand what "supremacy is inviolable" means.

But ever since discovering the Qi Gathering Array, the woman also realized the gravity of the issue.

Whether or not this man has any backing, once this issue spreads, it could drag her down as well.

Afraid? Not necessarily, but killing this young man... the consequences might be even more severe.

The woman had already decided to teach him a lesson, but there was no rush.

She answered expressionlessly, "No need to inquire, Qinghu... is there something else you want to ask?"

Qinghu? Qu Jianlei's eyebrows slightly raised, asking in astonishment, "Aren't you in seclusion?"

"Hmm?" The female supreme heard it, finally showing a little expression, she slightly frowned, "Who told you that?"

Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly, his expression also complicated, "Since it's you, let's let it go."

Then he looked at Yuanyuan, "I will take the stuff away... there might be a chance to cooperate later."

Yuanyuan stared at him blankly, with no sparkle in her big eyes.

"No!" The grandmother finally reacted, realizing she might have messed up this time.

The other party should have some resourceful help with cultivation, and her granddaughter originally had a chance to share it.

Moreover, it's something even Qinghu Supreme was wary of, but she interfered...

Her emotions grew a bit agitated, "Young man, if there's anything, we can discuss it nicely."

"I admit my attitude wasn't good just now; I'm willing to apologize to you!"

If apologies were effective, what's the need for the City Guard? Qu Jianlei no longer paid her mind and looked at Yuanyuan instead.

"You said you could make decisions here; now it seems that's not the case, so I'm not breaking the agreement."

Looking at his expression, Yuanyuan felt truly helpless.

She spoke weakly, "Brother Bingluan, this is just a coincidence, I really can make the call here."

Then she gave her grandmother an angry glare, "Is this how you support my cultivation?"

Her voice was already very soft, and such helpless complaints made her seem particularly pitiful.

"I don't even know what happened," the elderly lady felt she was being wronged, "If I didn't care about you, would I be here?"

While the grandmother and granddaughter were bickering, Qinghu Supreme frowned slightly and asked thoughtfully, "Ran Bingluan?"

That is... Qu Jianlei was speechless, he took out a cigarette and lit it, looking at the other plainly, "Yes, it's me."

The grandmother was also stunned upon hearing, then asked tentatively, "A member of the Luo Family?"

"No," Qu Jianlei answered weakly, but internally he heightened his alertness.

Although the Qi Gathering Array is precious, those who know its background might be unwilling to get tangled up in this trouble.

Not to mention participating, even reporting it could lead to trouble—how did you get involved in this matter?

Helping others evaluate children's partners... do you think this is a movie?

But the relevant findings of Luo Hanshuang in the Inner Circle, that's a different matter.

Who is the owner? That's not important, what's important is: this is not a resource monopolized by the military!

Qu Jianlei believes that even if Buckingham's descendants got such an opportunity, that supreme might not withstand the multitude of favors.

So he must be vigilant and guard against a possible sudden attack from the other side.

"?" Qinghu Supreme's eyes showed a hint of amusement, apparently, she discovered an inkling.

The grandmother had a hint of suspicion in her eyes, you're not a member of the Luo Family, yet you helped a Luo family girl get an opportunity?

Xingluo Academy has been trying hard to cover up the news, but for those who have reached a certain level, it still spreads like wildfire.

Even many of the great powers from the Outer Star Realm have heard about this news.

For instance, at Feiyang Military Academy where Guo Qiqiang is, since they couldn't persuade Luo Hanshuang to transfer, they naturally wouldn't bother to block the news.

Grandmother felt that the other party's answer was really perfunctory.

Yuanyuan knew her temper well and quickly spoke up, "He was just hired, I can testify to that."

In fact, she wasn't qualified to testify, so she added, "The Luo Family girl got two opportunities."

The logic in this statement was clear: if Qu Jianlei had any evil intentions, would he give both opportunities to a little girl?

"Yuanyuan!" Qu Jianlei sighed helplessly, "Could you perhaps be a bit clearer?"

This could no longer be called naively cute, it was simply foolish!

"Ah?" Yuanyuan was first stunned at his words, then explained aggrievedly, "But this is mine... I won't say anything more."

In her mind, this was her closest kin, was there a need to be wary?

Seeing this, Grandmother hesitated too. Yuanyuan knew much more than she did about what was happening inside the Celestial Hook Enigma Mansion.

If the little one dared to share even this news, then what kind of important information was she now concealing?

Though usually domineering, at this moment she couldn't help but cast her gaze towards the Supreme beside her.

Qinghu spoke with a blank expression, "You can go and see for yourself what's on the island."

Grandmother thought for a bit, then still turned to her granddaughter, "I'm not going, you tell me."

"Qi Gathering Array," Yuanyuan said lifelessly, the Supreme across already discovered, there was no hiding it now.

So whether to see or not really didn't matter much.

"?" Grandmother looked at her with a deep puzzlement: Is the Qi Gathering Array something rare for you?

With a downcast look, the little one added, "It's only us two cultivating."

"Oh my!" Grandmother almost blurted out curses; she was just puzzled earlier, didn't we have enough Cultivation Room slots at home?

Then, why do something so forbidden?

But now she understood, so it was actually an exclusive Qi Gathering Array for you two?

Are the two the same? Of course not, they're very far apart!

One is the lower limit—actually, it doesn't even reach the lower limit, still needing to fight for a slot, while the other is the upper limit!

Privately setting up a Qi Gathering Array is an unforgivable crime, but if it's for one's own descendants... that's a good thing!

But the problem is, this great blessing, seems to have been ruined by me?

For a moment, Grandmother's heart was filled with mixed feelings, she didn't even know what to say: Old Kate couple misled me!

After a moment of pondering, she picked relatively mild words, "You really are... becoming more and more capable."

Seeing her granddaughter's face ashen, an expression of despair, she couldn't bear to say more and could only turn her head to the Supreme.

"Lord Qinghu, how about... we pretend we never came?"

Saying this was offensive to the Supreme, and might not work, but she had to at least try, right?

How could they pretend they never came? Qinghu wasn't particularly magnanimous, she snorted, "I might be held accountable later!"

Qu Jianlei heard it but... just pretended not to, women being petty was quite troublesome.

Yuanyuan heard the words, hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to speak.

"Lord Qinghu, Ran Bingluan isn't one to kill indiscriminately, the two of us turned from enemies to friends as well."

Kill indiscriminately? Qinghu gave her a faint glance, "I am a junior to your grandmother's grandfather!"

How powerful was your grandmother's grandfather, don't you have any idea?

Yuanyuan nodded vigorously, "Uh-huh, actually, if you promise not to tell, then it'll be fine."

Then she looked at Qu Jianlei, "Brother Bingluan, isn't it so?"

Qu Jianlei sighed inwardly: How could such matters be simply dismissed?

Seeing he wasn't speaking, Qinghu felt annoyed too; she truly didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Hoping the other side would back down, giving her a chance to step down gracefully, but it turned out they were also quite headstrong.

Ultimately she took the initiative to speak, thankfully, she had ample reason.

"Who told you I was in seclusion? Better not be my enemy!"

Qu Jianlei gave her a cold glance, wanting to not respond, but as an A-level, doing so seemed a bit arrogant.

"Nelson, the Supreme!"

On Celestial Sharp Star, Nelson was frowning, mediating between two great powers, suddenly having an instinctual feeling.

He sensed it, it seemed unrelated to this planet, snorted a bit, letting it go.

"More and more people breaking the rules, what times are these!"

Qinghu was taken aback, then slowly nodded, "Since it's Buckingham... forget it, I won't bother with you."

Yuanyuan listened, blinking unceasingly, eyes full of doubt: Are you two talking about the same person?
