The Guardian Supreme left, and the two A-level members of the Anomalous Management Division exchanged glances.

The relatively younger A-level was a bit brash, "Honorable Supremes, we will report this situation upwards."

He hesitated for a moment, then braced himself to add, "If there are still doubts, we might come again."

Qinghu frowned slightly, speaking impatiently, "If you come again, come with a Supreme. What do you know?"

The two didn't dare to make a sound, nodding apologetically before taking their leave.

With their cultivation levels and positions, meeting with a Supreme wasn't intimidating, so who would have thought they'd be reprimanded like this one day?

They left the main entrance, downcast, where the two Supremes had yet to leave.

The Guardian Supreme nodded at them, "I'll take my leave now."

He had been waiting patiently, only because he was concerned about the two from the Anomalous Management Division, which fit his Guardian role. Now he truly didn't want to stay any longer.

The driver got in their car nonchalantly. Once the car had driven for a while, he voiced his thoughts.

"That sound wave attack earlier, did either of you feel it might've been a mental attack?"

Having been idle outside the door for a long time, he considered this possibility.

Though he had been quite apprehensive in front of the three Supremes, he was still a Supreme to A-level people!

The older A-level thought for a moment before answering, "That Supreme seemed to be attempting a Unity Electromagnetic Attribute."

"Unity of attributes... and electromagnetic?" The driver blinked a couple of times and finally fell silent.

Skilled in adapting to circumstances, once he saw it was a minefield ahead with a reasonable explanation, he naturally wouldn't pursue it further.

Engaging the electromagnetic attribute... who in the world came up with such a genius idea?

However, as a Supreme himself, he knew that many Supremes' mental attacks were actually about unifying spiritual attributes.

He let it pass, but those two A-levels noted this suspicion carefully.

No choice, this was part of the Anomalous Management Division's daily tasks... rather obvious anomalies, of course, had to be documented.

Once they'd left, Qinghu spoke again, "Ran, what you just did... was that a sound wave attack?"

With outsiders present, she definitely had to support Ran Bingluan, but that didn't mean her perception was poor.

Now, with no one around, she didn't want to be underestimated, so she asked.

Qu Jianlei answered in a deep voice, "Sound waves are waves, electromagnetism is also waves, spiritual power is still waves... I've been researching these."

He didn't provide a direct answer, but the Supreme Qinghu fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

She contemplated for a full two minutes, slowly nodding, then sighed lightly.

"I always thought that I counted as a genius in research, but now it seems I've been somewhat arrogant."

She didn't praise Qu Jianlei because she wasn't one to give compliments readily; her reflection said it all.

Then she shook her head, "Alright, let's not talk about it, recently I've considered some issues..."

Qinghu switched to "discussion" mode, bringing up topics for exchange.

Qu Jianlei exchanged thoughts naturally, as for the tone of the discussion… it didn't matter.

Time passes quickly in such moments, and before they knew it, dusk was falling.

Yuanyuan couldn't help but pipe up, "Bingluan... my friend, isn't it almost mealtime?"

As Qu Jianlei cooked, he continued discussing with Qinghu, even throughout the meal there were occasional exchanges.

They continued discussing after dinner until Yuanyuan yawned, "It's so late, aren't you tired?"

Only then did Qinghu stop, actually saying, "Can I take a look at the damaged Qi Gathering Array?"

Qu Jianlei took out the Qi Gathering Array without worry because he had cleansed the traces multiple times.

Yuanyuan witnessing this, stopped yawning, trying hard to widen her sleep-drenched eyes.

Qinghu examined the Qi Gathering Array for a while, then sighed lightly, "The power of this lightning is extraordinary."

Qu Jianlei remained silent, there was still a lot of equipment in the warehouse destroyed by the lightning, it couldn't be hidden.

Seeing him silent, Qinghu looked up at him, speaking slowly, "I have some videos from the incident."

This… wasn't surprising, Qu Jianlei nodded slightly.

Qinghu's sister used to live here for years, having connections was normal.

Even though the event's video was at a relative distance, it was hard to explain, certainly not something small-finger-width lightning could account for.

Seeing him still not speaking, Qinghu continued her chatter—she truly had a penchant for talking.

"So your expertise in electromagnetism... or rather waves, isn't as mediocre as you've shown."

"And I happen to know Buckingham, I heard he encountered a strange man… eloped with his grandson."

Qu Jianlei couldn't help but cough lightly, "I might not know Buckingham, maybe a friend of mine does."

Qinghu smiled dismissively, "You have no identity, the strange man also has no identity, and you two are both A-level with Gold Attribute..."

"Do you think there's such a coincidence in this world?"

Qu Jianlei spread his hands helplessly and said, "If you think so, I have nothing to say, but I want to ask, is it important?"

Yuanyuan, sensing something wrong in the tone, quickly interjected, "Lord Qinghu, we've been waiting for you to come back and make a decision."

Qinghu glanced at her, "You once called me by my name directly, and I couldn't be bothered to deal with you."

Yuanyuan's eyes widened instantly, her gaze becoming dazed, and she muttered softly, "Can he really perceive it's me?"

Qinghu was genuinely uninterested in dealing with him and continued to focus on Qu Jianlei, "Then I'm a bit curious, what happened again on the Star of Hope?"

Hearing this, Qu Jianlei sighed, and unsettling thoughts emerged in his mind.

Qinghu's eyes sparkled, as she indeed had the potential to be talkative, especially when encountering topics of interest.

"I did some checking, your encounter with the Luo family... was it also on the Celestial Sharp Star?"

"One day before you appeared, the starship from Jiuchuan Academy of the Star of Hope arrived at Celestial Sharp."

"What's particularly interesting is that you met the Luo family at the human resources market."

"And when you came to the Celestial Hook Star, you also found help at the human resources market..."

Her eyes grew brighter as she spoke, "So now tell me, aren't you the weirdo Buckingham encountered?"

Qu Jianlei remained silent, genuinely unaware that his movements could be so easily analyzed.

Unexpected? Upon reflection, it wasn't surprising, Qinghu only used ordinary means and didn't acquire any secret information.

In truth, it just demonstrates that the Supreme's connections and influence are there, superior to ordinary people's information-gathering capabilities.

Furthermore, Qinghu was seriously considering who Ran Bingluan really was and put some effort into it.

Fundamentally, he relaxed first; although the thought was to be cautious, he indeed grew complacent compared to before.

If no one cares, it's fine, but if someone delves deeply... traces can string together the truth.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly, "Is it interesting to speak so plainly?"

Indeed, I admit I became arrogant, but wasn't my effort to improve my cultivation to live a little more freely?

But you, fellow Taoist Qinghu, don't even understand the art of seeing through without revealing, which is irresponsible to yourself!

However, the talkative Supreme continued enthusiastically, shaking her head indifferently upon hearing his words.

"I haven't finished speaking then I was again puzzled, why did you come to Celestial Sharp from the Star of Hope?"

"Not once, but twice coming to Celestial Sharp... then, what happened during this period?"

Qu Jianlei sighed heavily, interrupting the other party and shook his head, "If I were you, I wouldn't continue."

"Fellow Daoist Qinghu, I mean no difficulty for you... please rest easy on Half-Star Island for two days, I'm leaving now, is that fine?"

Ignoring his words, Qinghu looked at him deeply and spoke on her own.

"So, you are the A-level Electromagnetic who killed Cohen and Arindel... am I wrong?"

"Tsk," Qu Jianlei frustratedly slapped his forehead, "Qinghu, don't push me."

"I've only killed those who were killable, your capriciousness makes things difficult for me... Yuanyuan will be implicated by you."

"What?" Yuanyuan was no longer sleepy, enjoying the drama, suddenly... how did it come to involve me?

Qinghu, upon hearing, blinked, and suspiciously said, "What's difficult, am I revealing your secrets?"

"Rest assured, reaching the Supreme, who doesn't have some personal secrets."

Qu Jianlei was a bit perplexed, are you sharp or foolish?

But... hold on, she might not have grasped my core secret?

He wasn't sure if he was guessing right or wrong, so he remained silent.

Seeing his silence, Qinghu became increasingly proud, "What you want to conceal is nothing more than reaching Unity Electromagnetic Attribute at A-level."

"Rest assured, I won't covet it nor will I spread it... 'All those killed were killable,' this I like."

"Covet..." Qu Jianlei chuckled helplessly, shaking his head, "Those I've killed, mostly died due to greed."

Qinghu nodded, "This I know, the chaos from the Divine Text Association in the Hope Star Realm also stemmed from greed over a century ago."

You know even this? Qu Jianlei was genuinely a bit shocked, the Supreme indeed forms its own circle!

Now is the time to play dumb, he shook his head blankly, "Didn't think you might guess wrong?"

Qinghu smiled indifferently and shook her head, "How could I be wrong?"

"There's a mysterious organization behind you, and the reason you're involved in this is due to helping someone from that organization, isn't it?"

She confidently stated, "Everything stems from the upheaval on Hope No.2 Star, I know the inside story of that upheaval."

"I'm not interested in the inside story," Qu Jianlei shook his head, feeling relieved internally.

So, you've separated me from Panda? That's indeed good news!

However, he was still a bit puzzled, "Your relationship with the Divine Text Association can't be that bad, right?"

Qinghu answered faintly, "I exited the Divine Text Association a long time ago... couldn't stand the chaos there."
