Qinghu did not explain what she experienced in the Divine Text Association or how she managed to leave.

She simply stated, ”If you want to target people from the Divine Text Association, don’t consider me, it really has nothing to do with me.”

Qu Jianlei deliberately asked, ”You don’t feel anything at all about me killing these people?”

Qinghu’s eyes flickered for a moment, but she still replied, ”In the past, there was always some attachment, some old friendships.”

Qu Jianlei nodded inwardly; this answer wasn’t what he wanted, but he really couldn’t muster any anger.

People who cherish old friendships usually aren’t entirely bad; no one wants to associate with indifferent people.

However, Qinghu then said, ”But now, it really doesn’t matter anymore.”

”There’s really no need to sympathize with those who linger in that filthy place... Maybe they have their reasons, but who doesn’t?”

Qu Jianlei nodded at her words, ”That’s right, everyone should be responsible for their own choices, rather than using friendship as leverage.”

Qinghu rolled her eyes at him, ”So there’s no need for you to shout and kill me.”

Qu Jianlei could only chuckle dryly, ”I’m just boasting, you’re at the Supreme Peak, I’ve just advanced.”

Qinghu snorted coldly at his words, ”Who are you pretending for? When you were A-level, you killed two Supremes within half an hour!”

These words were not at all polite; she never understood what being polite meant.

Cohen perhaps could be overlooked, he was a strong talker, and Qinghu, having been in the Divine Text Association, knew he was strong in theory.

In fact, his theoretical level was nothing to write home about; she absolutely looked down on it, and his practical abilities were even worse.

But Arindel was not someone with an undeserved reputation; warriors from the Blade Star Realm are always known for being daring in battle.

Arindel was well-known throughout the Blade Star Realm, not because of high cultivation levels, but because he could fight.

Yuanyuan looked at Qu Jianlei in amazement, ”I thought you were boasting, but it turns out you’ve actually killed two Supremes yourself.”

She wasn’t inexperienced, but this information was still a bit too shocking.

”He’s killed more than two Supremes,” Qinghu stated confidently, ”Being able to kill two in a row shows he’s an old hand!”

Yuanyuan tilted her head and looked at Qu Jianlei, asking with interest, ”So how many have you killed?”

Qu Jianlei knew she was naïvely curious, so he had a plan, answering without hesitation, ”I told you, I only kill those who deserve it.”

”Stop asking,” Qinghu waved her hand, ”Fahim wasn’t killed by him, but Kushnier... that’s hard to say.”

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei could only smile bitterly, ”So I’m only able to operate in the Hope Star Realm and the Celestial Hook Star Realm?”

Qinghu glanced at him, asking with interest, ”Then where else have you been?”

”Alright,” Qu Jianlei raised his hands, ”I’ve only been to these two star realms, okay?”

He admitted defeat, but Qinghu pursed her lips discontentedly, ”Just probing, why be so cautious?”

Qu Jianlei shook his head helplessly, ”Don’t casually probe people’s minds... neither of us fears trouble, but who likes it?”

Qinghu was momentarily stunned, then slowly nodded, ”True, but I think your experiences are quite legendary.”

After a pause, she said, ”Until now, I’ve only killed four Supremes, and you killed three when you were A-level.”

Comparing this too... Qu Jianlei felt a bit speechless, what if I told you I’ve already killed five?

After a moment of silence, he spoke up, ”Since you’re back, should we be leaving?”

Qinghu blinked her eyes, ”I’ve already given this place to someone else, but haven’t transferred it yet; are you in a hurry to transfer?”

This high and aloof Supreme pretending to be naïve was truly laughable.

Qu Jianlei shook his head, smiling as he replied, ”I meant we’ve been noticed, perhaps it’s better to leave.”

Having advanced to Supreme, there’s still much to do, and now there’s not even the conditions to stabilize his realm, what is there to wait for?

Qinghu rolled her eyes at him again and shook her head, ”Are you so easily shaken off just because you’ve been tangled with by the Anomalous Management Division?”

I can change identities and flee! Qu Jianlei had long experienced running away and didn’t find it difficult.

But upon thinking about it, having reached Supreme, maintaining a lowly mindset... isn’t that not quite right?

It’s not that he’s getting ahead of himself, but being in a certain position should align with one’s actions; otherwise, what’s the use of his hard Cultivation?

So some advice is worth listening to, ”If we don’t leave, then what? There’s no way to Cultivate.”

It’s not just him who’s already Supreme; even Yuanyuan, who’s A-level, finds it inconvenient to Cultivate without a Qi Gathering Array.

Qinghu looked at the damaged Qi Gathering Array and straightforwardly answered, ”Just fix this thing, won’t it be done?”

”Huh?” Qu Jianlei and Yuanyuan exchanged glances, being watched by the Anomalous Management Division and still using the Qi Gathering Array to Cultivate?

Qinghu knew what they were puzzled about and stated without hesitation.

”The Anomalous Management Division checks for alien energies; they don’t care about the Qi Gathering Array. Besides, with me here, just a bit of cover from the Defense Array will do.”

Worthy of being a seasoned Supreme, she was confident in her influence; at least Qu Jianlei didn’t dare make such promises.

But he still remembered, last time the chatty Supreme was a bit cautious with the Qi Gathering Array, ”Weren’t you unwilling to get involved with it?”

Qinghu replied helplessly, ”I’ve already been affected, and I don’t understand Time Technique, so I can’t return to the past.”

”Besides, I’ve specially inquired, this thing isn’t that sensitive!”

”As long as we avoid the military and give them some face, it’s fine. Of course, if it spreads, it would be asking for death.”

”I originally wanted to set up a Qi Gathering Array, but considering it’s somewhat sensitive, I let it go.”

”Anyway, once your Qi Gathering Array is built, it will be enough for us three... it doesn’t help me much, but the Replenishing Qi is sufficient.”

This is the true Peak Supreme arrogance!

She said it all so naturally, but which Supreme would dare promise like that?

”Give the military some face,” sounds easy, but they have to recognize you and feel that they’ve indeed been given face.

Yuanyuan couldn’t help but ask, ”Can the Qi Gathering Array be repaired?”

Qinghu thought for a while and shook his head, ”Give me the components list, I’ll buy them, but the rest... let’s just do it manually.”

This shows that while she spoke casually, there are indeed some risks involved.

Qu Jianlei remembered something, ”Right, that Five Elements Array...”

”Got it,” Qinghu nodded upon hearing, ”There’s also a fragment of a map, probably an array for Concealing Aura, right?”

”Of course,” Qu Jianlei immediately nodded, ”If successfully deciphered, I’ll give you a copy.”

No one owes you by nature; cooperation should be mutually beneficial as the legitimate path.

The rough plan was thus set.

Yuanyuan was the first to leave yawning, not forgetting to ask before leaving, ”Is it really okay to use the Qi Gathering Array?”

Qinghu shook his head helplessly, ”You simply don’t understand how sensitive Alien Energy is; your grandmother protected you too well!”

Though unintended, Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but think: Could Qinghu be secretly pondering my secret too?

He knew it wasn’t good to be suspicious, but he couldn’t help it; it had become a habit.

Being cautious is no harm; at most, just don’t let the talkative Supreme notice.

With Qinghu’s arrival, Half-Star Island gradually changed.

Besides the three of them, a dozen more people appeared on the island, mainly responsible for miscellaneous exterior jobs.

Among the dozen people were servants of the Supreme and Yuanyuan’s people; their relationship was very harmonious.

By Lonely Leaf Lake, there were guards, and even more boats patrolling and cleaning the water plants.

Most times, the guardians used drones and unmanned ships.

However, there were three to five patrols daily, as humans are more subjective than machines and can prevent negligence.

The likelihood of someone among them being bribed by the Government isn’t very high.

The Imperial does not have a servant concept, but in a society with Extraordinary Powers, human life can be cheap.

Even if someone was bribed, it’s not very important, as only those three can access the key areas.

Since they started patrolling, the Government’s surveillance had to be gradually withdrawn.

Qinghu, being a rooted Supreme, unlike Qu Jianlei, directly destroyed suspicious devices.

Moreover, she was the owner of Lonely Leaf Lake, legally justified to protect her property.

Aircraft spraying Cloud Transformation Agent came by, Qinghu shot them down without hesitation.

This prompted the meteorological department to seek explanations, only to be hung upside down at her doorstep for three days and nights.

Fortunately, the two sent were at least Modified Warriors; otherwise, survival would have been an issue.

Even so, they were bitten severely by insects, nearly losing half their lives.

Having suffered such a loss, finding a way to save face was necessary.

In fact, they didn’t even dare protest — who authorized you to alter the environment around a Supreme’s residence?

At this point, relevant departments realized the unnamed Supreme was rather amicable.

At least they weren’t reacting so intensely.

But Qinghu wouldn’t give any face; she acted without consideration if it involved Supreme dignity.

They didn’t realize the seemingly kind figure had more blood on their hands than Qinghu.

Just without legitimacy, they couldn’t act publicly.

Thereupon, order at Lonely Leaf Lake was nearly restored, and no overt monitoring continued except by satellites in space.

On Qinghu’s tenth day, the third layer of defense reappeared, consisting of three independent Defense Arrays.

Three days later, the Qi Gathering Array was finally repaired, and with all three defensive layers activated, the Qi Gathering Array was directly initiated.

This time, Supreme Qinghu stayed beside Qu Jianlei, watching him adjust the Array personally.
