Sofia drove Qu Jianlei ho, followed closely by Xiang Xue’s car.
Qu Jianlei glanced at her but did not tell anyone to leave. He just opened the door and walked in.
Sofia followed him in, along with Xiang Xue and that B-level female guard.
Qu Jianlei really wanted to rest well, but unfortunately, he couldn’t afford to show fatigue at this mont.
Moreover, he vaguely guessed that Xiang Xue sought him out because she had sothing to say.
After the two sat down, Sofia took the initiative to boil water for tea, acting like the hostess.
However, the female guard stood next to Xiang Xue, even as a guest, maintaining a guarded stance.
Xiang Xue, after all, was young. After sitting down, she went straight to the point, "The Supre is missing, Star No. 2 will not be peaceful soon."
Qu Jianlei nodded upon hearing that, but he still felt indifferent, "Can’t the Supre die or go missing?"
Xiang Xue shook her head, "It’s not the sa thing, it’s a disappearance in a busy market, and there was a fight involved."
"True enough," Qu Jianlei admitted, but so what, isn’t everyone’s life only one ti?
He sighed lightly, "Big shots are big shots, after all."
Xiang Xue paid no attention to his words, "They’re definitely going to reorganize heavily; your hidden identity might be exposed."
Thinking of ? Qu Jianlei blinked, feeling dizzy in his head.
So he subconsciously responded, "The main thing is, this organization cannot see light... Will it be affected?"
"Well... it should be alright," Xiang Xue hesitated to answer.
She wasn’t in the archaeology enthusiast organization, but the guards around her were mbers, so how could she completely separate herself?
"The main thing is to be discreet enough lately. If anything happens in the organization, I’ll pass it on for you, and we will keep a tight lid."
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei furrowed his brow, "Afraid I’ll say sothing, so you’re reminding ... got sothing on ?"
That was very straightforward, Xiang Xue shook her head, "Not what I ant, mainly we still have cooperation later..."
"This unexpected event is really catching us off guard, we all need to be ready to deal with unexpected events."
What unexpected events could there be? Qu Jianlei wasn’t really concerned; he had already considered subsequent impacts when he took action.
Mainly because who he killed was not a Supre from the Governnt, nor did they belong to the Military, so how much reaction can this planet have?
"The unexpected events you ntioned, I don’t quite understand... Could there be an investigation involving a dozen Supres?"
"Not quite like that," Xiang Xue shook her head, "but all sorts of black and grey powers will be reorganized."
That should be a headache for the Earth Scholar, right? Qu Jianlei was about to reply when he suddenly thought of his fake identity.
If they trace it through fake ID vendors to him, that would really be an injustice!
He hesitated and asked, "Which force’s Supre was it, who did they provoke?"
It feels like asking knowingly, actually it’s not a good feeling, at least it helps the author fill word count.
"It was a Supre from a Pioneer Team," Xiang Xue’s information channel was impeccable, "Reportedly provoked a mysterious force."
After a pause, she added, "Not only one Supre went missing, there were also four A-levels, all in one night!"
"Wow," Qu Jianlei feigned shock, "That’s a bit scary, your group is highly suspicious!"
"Tsk," Xiang Xue murmured in frustration, "The organization has nothing to do with ... and it’s not the organization’s doing."
Qu Jianlei smiled, "I thought you were using this as a threat... when was the last Supre died on Star No. 2?"
"They’re not necessarily dead this ti," Xiang Xue answered solemnly, "The last Supre was attacked in a busy market over thirty years ago."
"But even then, that Supre didn’t die, although the battle was widely affected at that ti."
Qu Jianlei felt really overwheld, "Then let’s keep low-key, if there’s relevant information, you can let know."
"Of course," Xiang Xue nodded, "If you have any relevant information too, you can inform ."
At this point, Qu Jianlei realized the other side also wanted to leverage his ’power.’
Of course, there might be other intentions, but it must be admitted, it’s really a wonderful misunderstanding.
After seeing off the three people, Qu Jianlei first swallowed so pills, then had a big al, and slept soundly.
When he woke up, it was already past six in the morning. He still felt he hadn’t slept enough, but he had to get up.
Anyway, his condition was much better than yesterday.
Then he first emptied two Storage Talismans and picked out a high-durability one, intending to bring it to Granny Jia.
When he saw the box sealed with tape, he pondered for a mont and decided not to touch it for now.
Better safe than sorry; if what’s inside the box has a violent reaction, that’d be troubleso.
The rest of the day was uneventful, Granny Jia showed no reaction upon receiving the Storage Talisman.
Returning ho from work, Qu Jianlei went back to sleep, another sleep until three in the morning.
Finally, it’s night! He quietly left the villa, sneaking all the way to an abandoned factory five kiloters from the courtyard.
Although the factory was abandoned, there were still a dozen holess people inside—seems no society lacks such people.
The City Guard would occasionally search this place.
However, Qu Jianlei didn’t care about these matters. For him, as long as he didn’t attract attention from outsiders, it was fine. These holess people... it didn’t matter.
Pitiful people must have their detestable aspects. The people on the Garbage Star were truly pitiful, but he felt no sympathy for those still wandering in Green Water City.
In a spacious factory building, he used his Spiritual Power from a distance to break the seal and then opened the box with a delayed chanical arm.
Next, nothing unexpected happened—sotis he really was excessively cautious.
Inside the box was a... an alloy safety helt? And also a docunt bag.
Qu Jianlei looked at the safety helt painted with matte paint, feeling a bit speechless. After feeling the docunt bag, he found nothing unusual either.
So he quietly left and returned to the small courtyard he rented.
Just like that, coming and going, two hours had passed.
Qu Jianlei ca to the study, turned on the light, and first carefully examined the safety helt, which was the kind commonly seen on construction sites.
Construction sites on Star No. 2 were highly automated, but safety helts were still needed, and the style was similar to that on Blue Star.
Qu Jianlei really couldn’t understand why Steve would solemnly keep such a thing.
Even if it were a motorcycle helt, he could sowhat understand, as it was at least more stylish.
He flipped through it for a while and suddenly felt sothing hard in the lining, so he opened it.
What ca into sight was a broken short rod, looking neither tal nor stone, straight and smooth.
The unbroken end had a gourd-shaped design at the top.
Qu Jianlei furrowed his brow; he felt this thing looked very familiar, but he couldn’t recall what it was for the life of him.
In a daze, a Big Head Butterfly appeared in his mind, slowly spinning, gradually getting faster.
"Is this... sothing Little Lake wants?" Qu Jianlei was truly surprised to the extre.
How could artificial intelligence have its own emotions? "Spin slower, I can’t handle this!"
Little Lake’s speed slowly decreased but clearly showed so reluctance.
Soon, Qu Jianlei felt a mild warmth in his temples, "Hold on, I need to figure out what this is first!"
Then the image in his mind abruptly shifted, the Big Head Butterfly vanished, replaced by an image of a hairpin.
The hairpin rotated slowly, not just in three hundred and sixty degrees with no blind spots, but in a three-dinsional image!
"Wow!" Qu Jianlei gasped, "It really is a hairpin!"
A broken hairpin, solemnly hidden by Steve in the helt’s lining, and securely fastened!
This was simply... too magical, no—too Xianxia, wasn’t it?
Qu Jianlei didn’t know much about the majority of the Imperial territories, but he knew a little about the Imperial people’s clothing and hairstyles.
Won had long hair, short hair, or shaved heads... none of these were uncommon.
n also had long hair, but mostly short, as long hair was inconvenient to manage.
But whether male or female, he had never heard of anyone using hairpins! Even hair buns were rare.
It was only in the ancient Divine Land of Blue Star where this was more common, among both n and won.
So this broken hairpin... was it from the Divine Land? He couldn’t help but think so.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly accelerated by at least half: Was it true?
Actually, it could almost be determined that his guess was pretty close—didn’t Steve hide it in the safety helt?
Why a safety helt? Because n here don’t tie hair buns!
The next mont, a new thought popped into Qu Jianlei’s mind: What about the Divine Land person with the hair bun, were they alive or dead?
If they were dead, who was responsible? If it was the Imperial people, this wouldn’t just end!
Alright, there’s no point in thinking about this now. Better to consider why Steve solemnly hid it?
Almost as an unconscious reflex, Qu Jianlei used his Spiritual Power to sense the broken hair bun, "Hiss, it hurts!"
His Spiritual Power had not fully recovered, and even those injuries were barely healed.
Using his Spiritual Power recklessly tore at the old wounds.
But it was still worth it; he discovered that the hair bun had considerable repulsion towards his Spiritual Power.
It seed to say: Hey, kid, are you being polite?
Qu Jianlei confird his suspicion, this was a Magical Treasure capable of resisting Spiritual Attacks!
Alright, maybe it’s a Dharma Artifact; Qu Jianlei didn’t know how ancient Divine Land people defined Magical Treasures.
As long as he understood the general aning, the na didn’t matter.
Then he couldn’t help but feel a sense of longing; even a broken hairpin had such power, what about before it broke?
Though he was only A-level, he could use his Spiritual Power to forcefully contend with a Supre.
My Spiritual Power could almost rival a Golden Core, yet it was blocked by this damaged Magical Treasure?
