Qu Jianlei did not bother to speculate on the actions of the Anomalous Management Division; he only needed to watch coldly from the sidelines.

However, some people still needed a gentle reminder.

He had Xiao Hu find a few intermediaries to secretly contact Yuanyuan—Qinghu’s wristwatch was usually in a blocked state.

”Lonely Leaf Lake will face changes, I suggest you withdraw that array immediately.”

Unfortunately, Yuanyuan was in the middle of Cultivation and only discovered the message on her wristwatch five hours later.

After pondering for a moment, she typed a line, ”Are you... Brother Bingluan?”

However, before she could send it, another message appeared on the wristwatch, ”You don’t need to send your question.”

”It’s not a problem to mistake me for that person, the key is to dismantle the array as soon as possible.”

Yuanyuan thought for a moment and typed another line, ”Is it the... Qi Gathering Array or the Defense?”

This guy knows how to be cautious! Qu Jianlei responded, ”If it’s the Defense Array, you can dismantle it if you want.”

”Oh my,” Yuanyuan exclaimed, leaping up before rushing out of the room to find Qinghu.

Surprisingly, Qinghu wasn’t shocked, she just furrowed her brow and sighed.

”Sigh, this guy left a few days ago, perhaps having received relevant news.”

Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow, ”What exactly happened? Is someone unwilling to let him go?”

Qinghu didn’t answer, just shook her head and sighed lightly, ”Forget it, let’s dismantle the Qi Gathering Array first.”

Fortunately, she had watched Qu Jianlei set up an array before, so her dismantling speed was quite fast.

Yuanyuan was quite curious, cooperating while asking, ”Is his situation serious? Will he not be coming back?”

Hearing this, Qinghu gave her a sidelong glance; she had a bit of a soft spot for her old friend’s granddaughter.

”If he doesn’t come back, you can just keep the Qi Gathering Array; anyway, he won’t be returning for a while.”

Yuanyuan quickly shook her head, ”I wouldn’t take someone else’s belongings. I just want to know if he’ll be in danger.”

Qinghu shook her head, ”The organization behind him should also be quite powerful... As long as he doesn’t act recklessly, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

She paused and muttered under her breath, ”Unless he thinks... forget it, I guess he’s still reluctant to let go of the Qi Gathering Array.”

Because Yuanyuan was wearing a wristwatch, their conversation was overheard by Qu Jianlei—unless I think what?

After some thought, he had a guess, ”Could it be that she also guessed I might not need the Qi Gathering Array in the future?”

Indeed, leaving the Qi Gathering Array behind when he left did have this factor in mind.

Since he was on the right path, keeping that array could easily affect his future growth.

”But I still need it, at least many friends can still use it.”

The night quickly passed, and the next day at dawn, three warships quietly surrounded Lonely Leaf Lake.

The weather was overcast, with a chance of rain at any moment.

One warship opened its side hatch, releasing over ten Awakened, including four Supreme.

Among them were two people Qu Jianlei had seen before, the driver and Chi Yang, while the other two, a man and a woman, were unfamiliar to him.

Regardless, with over ten Supremes and A-level individuals, the lineup was truly luxurious.

The dozen quickly dispersed, enclosing Lonely Leaf Lake, while a dozen more combat teams appeared around.

Once everyone was in position, the only female Supreme spoke, ”Qinghu, long time no see. Have you missed me?”

A figure rose straight up, it was indeed Qinghu.

She shook her head, speaking expressionlessly, ”I haven’t missed you at all. Are you here to capture me?”

With such a formation, it wouldn’t be difficult to either kill or capture a Supreme.

Compared to the unremarkable Qinghu, the female Supreme had a more glamorous appearance, a middle-aged beauty.

Nonetheless, even her well-maintained face showed no expression.

”You should know why I’m here, bring Ran Bingluan out.”

”Can’t bring him out,” Qinghu continued to shake her head, ”What crime did he commit?”

Despite the situation, she still had the mind to inquire, proving that curiosity truly drives societal progress.

An unknown male Supreme spoke up, ”Qinghu, I advise you not to err—are you intending to resist the Anomalous Management Division’s law enforcement?”

Facing this person, Qinghu, usually imperiously cold, also became more restrained, speaking slowly.

”Stars Supreme, I have no intention of resisting, I just want to know what crime he committed.”

”You can’t possibly not understand,” the man waved a hand impatiently, ”Bring him out, or should we do it ourselves?”

”He has already left,” Qinghu replied expressionlessly, ”I can’t conjure him up for you!”

Stars Supreme was stunned, ”Left?”

There was nothing more to say, resulting in a thorough search.

The visitors employed all means, using both Supreme perception and the warship’s scanning functions, yet found nothing.

With how aloof Qinghu usually was, but at this moment, she could only watch these people freely exercise their methods at her place.

To prevent misunderstandings, she couldn’t even speak freely—Supremes are extraordinary beings, but truly not invincible.

The search was fruitless, and the Stars Supreme began an ”inquiry” with her — after all, they were all Supremes and retained some decorum.

He first asked when Ran Bingluan left, and then asked about her behavior before departing.

Qinghu concealed the matter of the Qi Gathering Array, but was otherwise forthright, showing no resistance.

At that moment, Yuanyuan’s watch was not on, but Chi Yang’s watch was active — the Guardian Supreme could not casually block the watch.

Shao Hu had infiltrated Chi Yang’s watch, broadcasting live directly.

”This Qinghu, truly, reporting your departure time so accurately, could easily expose me, right?”

Qu Jianlei was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then laughed indifferently.

”Don’t assume the worst of people; maybe she just wanted to emphasize how powerful the organization behind me is, so that others would be wary.”

Shao Hu acknowledged this guess, but couldn’t help but mutter, ”If I’m exposed, it would easily associate me with Panda.”

”Tsk,” Qu Jianlei clicked his tongue, and touched his forehead, acknowledging the objective existence of this possibility.

However, after a moment’s thought, he chuckled, ”Let them associate, then. I’ve never killed anyone, despite being a Supreme.”

After asking for a while, the Stars Supreme instructed the Anomalous Management Division, ”Begin a full planetary search.”

Afterward, the chauffeur and Chi Yang left as well, with the Stars and the female Supreme remaining at Lonely Leaf Lake, and the three warships did not withdraw.

This was to be expected, although Ran Bingluan had already left, who could say for sure?

In the following days, these two and the three warships were likely to stay on Half-Star Island.

The good thing was that although Chi Yang Supreme left, Yuanyuan wore the watch, allowing the live broadcast to continue.

Once the people dispersed, the tension at the scene eased considerably.

The Stars still attempted to extract the aura of Tribulation Thunder, but it was clearly futile — several months had passed already.

Qinghu seized the opportunity to ask, ”Why exactly are you looking for Ran Bingluan?”

When no one was around, the Stars were not so hard to talk to — he was well aware of Qinghu’s potential and influence and wouldn’t push things to the extreme.

”I can’t believe you haven’t figured it out... You came to Half-Star Island once before, and Ran Bingluan wasn’t a Supreme back then, right?”

”Indeed not,” Qinghu nodded. Not many knew of her first visit to Half-Star Island, but not too few either.

Leaving aside others, just the attendants at Yuanyuan’s house wouldn’t withstand the Anomalous Management Division’s interrogation.

If there were only one or two people, they might keep silent, but with more people, do you even need to ask about the result?

Then the Stars looked at Yuanyuan, ”Wasn’t it right after Ran Bingluan’s advancement that lightning descended?”

Would Yuanyuan dare deny it? Even the Supreme Qinghu answered truthfully, and she was merely an A-level.

Nonetheless, she tried to resist, ”According to him, the advancement was not yet complete at the time.”

”This foolish child!” Watching the live broadcast, Qu Jianlei slapped his forehead, mumbling quietly.

”Can’t you say a little less? We’re doomed; this confirms the Tribulation Thunder!”

The Stars Supreme looked at Qinghu, ”Understand now? Can’t this help you think of something?”

”I’ve really thought of nothing,” Qinghu spread her hands, replying calmly.

”I know there is alien energy, but Ran Bingluan herself is attempting the path of the Primordial Warrior, and I’m also trying!”

”It’s indeed hard to understand that he encountered a thunder strike during advancement, but what if... he achieved Unity with the Electromagnetic Attribute?”

”Unity Electromagnetic Attribute?” The Stars raised an eyebrow, speaking in surprise, ”Did you confirm this with him?”

”He mentioned it casually,” Qinghu truly didn’t betray friends, ”I don’t know if it’s true, nor did I probe further.”

The Stars Supreme frowned, dissatisfied, ”Why didn’t you probe?”

”Why should I probe?” Qinghu widened her eyes, looking directly at him.

”Doesn’t everyone have their secrets? Besides, he’s already a Supreme; why would I offend him?”

”Tsk,” the Stars sighed helplessly, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it.

After taking several puffs, he finally spoke, evidently weighing the pros and cons.

”I know you’re studying the Primordial Warrior. Have you ever heard that the early Awakened cultivation involved an Electric Shock Room?”

”Electric Shock Room?” Qinghu blinked, her gaze starting to blur.

After thinking for a while, she shook her head, slowly answering, ”I’ve never heard of it.”

The Stars Supreme twitched the corner of his mouth, flicked the cigarette butt away, and spoke in a mixture of laughter and tears.

”You haven’t even heard of the Electric Shock Room, and yet you claim to be researching the Primordial Warrior?”

”What’s there to be embarrassed about!” Qinghu replied confidently.

”Blame the empire; it’s you who have completely sealed off the information, leaving us to explore and research on our own!”

”You actually have a point...” The Stars started to speak, but ultimately shook his head helplessly and sighed again.

”You need to understand, the emergence of the Electric Shock Room was not accidental. It even changed the direction of Awakened cultivation!”

Qinghu replied irritably, ”I’ve never even heard of it, and you’re telling me this?”
