Buckingham was suspicious, but after all, he had been Supreme for many years, he managed to keep his composure.

So he nodded, ”We’re almost there, tidy up and get ready to disembark the Starship.”

Qu Jianlei also nodded, ”Thank you, sir. With you around, the Customs Enforcement Division didn’t bother us. I’m very grateful.”

This was the absolute truth. He had a scented pouch with a Qi Gathering Array on him; if they ran into the Customs Enforcement Team, he’d probably have to risk it all.

Though he had a Space Mecha and a Lifeboat, he wasn’t afraid to fight desperately, but the consequences... are truly unpredictable.

He had some confidence in battling with Awakened, but facing Warships, even the Supreme would have headaches.

Now the other party helped him overcome this hurdle, so saying thank you was naturally appropriate.

Buckingham smiled without speaking, thinking indeed, you do have expectations of me.

However, once they left the Star Port, he could no longer maintain his composure, as the other party said nothing more.

On the contrary, as Qu Jianlei left, he waved, ”Thank you, sir. I’m off, see you if fate permits!”

Buckingham raised an eyebrow, but ultimately kept his cool, he slowly asked, ”Where are you going?”

”I don’t know,” Qu Jianlei said joyfully, ”But there’s always a place to settle down.”

”So manly,” the Supreme’s great-granddaughter hadn’t spoken before, but at this moment, her eyes were full of little stars.

Manly... Buckingham watched him turn and leave, with mixed emotions inside, not knowing what to say.

Key moments are for the young ones, Bai Siwen suddenly shouted, ”How will we contact you in the future?”

Qu Jianlei replied without turning his head, ”If fate allows, we will meet again.”

Then he flashed his body, already lost among the crowd.

”This person...” Buckingham hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn’t follow, just his expression was a bit strange.

Qu Jianlei hadn’t been to Celestial Handle Star before, intending to look around and buy some specialties in preparation for his final retreat.

However, remembering the days delayed on Celestial Sharp Star, nearly failing to leave, he was still anxious, so he hurried back to Celestial Hook Star.

Thus, on the evening of his arrival at Celestial Handle Star, he boarded the Starship again to smuggle.

This decision was indeed correct, as when he reached Celestial Hook, Xiao Hu received relevant information.

In view of the effective inspection of stowaways at Celestial Sharp Star, with many important suspects caught, Celestial Handle Star also began examining stowaways.

But the inspection at Central Star was mainly led by the Government and had little to do with the Customs Enforcement Division.

Celestial Hook even urged other planets to crack down severely on local smuggling activities.

However, this suggestion did not come from the Star Domain Government, so the government on each planet had yet to respond.

After confirming this news, Qu Jianlei proactively contacted Ford.

”Can the identity your family arranged for me withstand this inspection of stowaways?”

Ford wasn’t sure, stating he’d have to check with the young master.

He didn’t dare neglect this person’s request because he knew very well that the young mistress could enter the Inner Circle to gain opportunities, thanks to this person.

Before long, he responded, assuring that this identity was different from the fake ones made in the Outer Star Realm and definitely stood up to verification.

This means that the localization of forgery had strong regional characteristics, least afraid of inspections from their own Star Realm.

However, he also emphasized that the history of this identity was too simple, which could be troublesome with certain veterans using their discretion.

Ultimately, it depended on who was inspecting; most of the time it would be fine, but if they wanted to nitpick, it’d be hard to say.

This news made Qu Jianlei a bit upset, realizing it wasn’t very secure.

But then thinking about it, not everything goes as one wishes; being able to handle ordinary inspections was satisfactory enough.

However, he felt uncertainty, so he contacted Yuanyuan, informing her he was back.

Yuanyuan didn’t ask much on the wrist device, directly arranging to meet in the afternoon.

The meeting place was a tea house, and Qu Jianlei arrived first, booking a street-view elegant chamber.

The glass of the chamber is one-way, he didn’t wait long before seeing that super-large off-road vehicle.

A small round figure jumped off the car, taking bold strides into the tea house.

After entering the elegant chamber, Yuanyuan didn’t order tea, directly grabbed Qu Jianlei’s teapot to pour herself a cup.

After drinking half a cup, she grabbed a few dried fruits, ”How about it, did you get it?”

”Got it,” Qu Jianlei handed over the scented pouch, ”Take a look, does it work?”

”Space Pouch?” Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow in surprise, ”You really have many good things.”

But she had seen the world after all, after the surprise, she perceived the Qi Gathering Array inside and slightly frowned.

”This array... seems to be the most rudimentary?”

Qu Jianlei shook his head, ”I don’t actually know, haven’t used it since I got it, are you saying it can be improved?”

Yuanyuan waved her hand, ”I don’t fiddle with this stuff, you can set up a Defense Array, why not figure it out?”

Qu Jianlei answered in a deep voice, ”Let’s find a place first, how can we mess around without that?”

Yuanyuan had already chosen a place, 500 kilometers away from Celestial Heart City, there’s a lake called ”Lonely Leaf.”

The lake’s area is more than 300 square kilometers, and its shape basically resembles a circular leaf.

The Celestial Hook Star has plenty of water, however, around Lonely Leaf Lake, there are no other decent lakes, hence the name Lonely Leaf.

In the center of the lake, there is a small island called Half-Star, with an area of four or five square kilometers.

Half-Star Island looks like a crescent moon, strictly speaking, it’s considered a peninsula, connected to the mainland, the narrowest part is only over a hundred meters wide.

This place should have a good scenery, suitable for sightseeing and tourism.

But before, this was a military research institute, relocated to Celestial Handle Star decades ago.

Later, this place was privately bought, naturally eliminating the possibility of tourism.

Yuanyuan stated that this place was given to her family’s elder, and knew she came to Celestial Heart, so lent it to her for use.

After hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but secretly rejoice: fortunately, I made friends with this one instead of enemies back then.

It’s not that he’s really afraid of the other, but it’s better not to provoke such a deeply rooted force if possible.

”Is there anyone on the island now?”

Yuanyuan nodded slightly, ”There are two elderly looking after it, if you are not at ease, I can ask them to leave.”

Then she tossed two dried fruits into her mouth to chew, looking like a chubby squirrel, ”Shall we go now?”

”Hold on,” Qu Jianlei waved his hand, ”I have some identity issues. If someone investigates, do you have a way?”

Yuanyuan took Qu Jianlei’s identity token to have a look, blinked her eyes twice, ”No problem, it’s the same as mine.”

”You don’t know...” Qu Jianlei briefly explained the situation to her.

Yuanyuan obviously hadn’t paid attention to the changes in Celestial Sharp and Celestial Handle stars. After listening, she thought for a moment and then stated.

”This is not a big deal either, are you saying if we encounter inspections, they shouldn’t purposefully make things difficult for us?”

”Yeah,” Qu Jianlei nodded, replied without thinking, ”Your connections are wide, you can handle this kind of trouble, right?”

Hearing this, Yuanyuan turned her eyes, pouted, ”If my connections were that extensive, would I mix in society like this? I think you can handle it.”

Qu Jianlei curled his lip, ”I hardly know anyone, only capable of using violence.”

Yuanyuan blinked once, ”I mean the Luo family... can’t they help you out?”

Qu Jianlei looked at her helplessly, ”The Luo family doesn’t even know I got the Qi Gathering Array, and you’re the one going to use it!”

”Fine, fine,” Yuanyuan sighed, sulkily stated, ”I really don’t feel like asking for favors.”

Qu Jianlei gave a cold snort, ”Please get things straight, even without mentioning me, you also have similar identity issues.”

It’s basically not a matter that troubles two masters, is it worth being so particular?

Yuanyuan snorted at this, then her eyes turned, ”Celestial Sharp is chasing smuggling... it’s not related to you, right?”

”It’s something done by a Supreme,” Qu Jianlei decisively denied, ”the Customs Enforcement Division is totally stumped, you can inquire if you don’t believe.”

”Where would I have that interest?” Yuanyuan said dismissively, then jumped off the chair, ”Let’s go now.”

Qu Jianlei was stunned by her words, ”Aren’t you in too much of a hurry?”

Yuanyuan took out two Storage Talismans, proudly waved them at him.

”I’ve prepared lots of Spirit Beast Meat and Superpower Rice, just waiting for you to cook for me, it’s just in time to hurry over now.”

Seeing the unusual light in her eyes, Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but laugh wryly, ”I say, what you should first prepare are Energy Blocks.”

”Already prepared,” Yuanyuan’s chubby little hand patted the Storage Talismans, ”see clearly, it’s two!”

Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but sigh, softly muttering, ”Some people are born as mules and horses, and some are born in Rome.”

Yuanyuan paused, ”What did you say?”

She was eager to satisfy her craving, driving the car at high speed, taking less than two hours for the journey over 500 kilometers.

Qu Jianlei observed a bit and found that Half-Star Island was indeed secluded, even the entire Lonely Leaf Lake had few people around.

The 300 square kilometers of the lake surface, had only about ten scattered houses by the lake, and thirty or forty people fishing.

Celestial Hook Star is a society of great material wealth, these fishermen are likely doing it for leisure, not for a living.

From the lakeside to Star Moon Island, there’s a straight road, with gates and protective barriers at the narrowest point.

There were several surveillance cameras on the gate and barrier, Yuanyuan drove over without stopping, and the gate opened with facial recognition.

The island was lush with trees, surrounded by protective barriers and isolation nets, with seven or eight buildings in the middle, and two large factories.

The caretakers were an elderly couple, both Modified Warriors, appearing in their seventies or eighties, but quite energetic.

Yuanyuan informed them that from tomorrow, they needn’t watch over the place anymore, salaries would continue, and they should wait for notification for when to return.

The two elders were not surprised, leading her to a warehouse filled with various robots and automated vehicles.

This is the reason they could manage such a large place; without these tools, just cleaning would be exhausting.
