Chapter 1157: Chapter 1023: Partnership

Qu Jianlei immediately sensed the change in atmosphere and asked in astonishment, ”Fighting in the street?”

It’s quite rare to engage in a street fight in broad daylight, even on Dream Star.

There have been several Supreme conflicts recently, but they all had their reasons—everyone still wanted to maintain some dignity.

But this confrontation had no warning whatsoever, at least not that Qu Jianlei noticed.

In comparison, the Perception of Nutrient Injection was much weaker, only reacting after about a second.

”Want to check it out together?”

Qu Jianlei shook his head indifferently, ”Go if you want, what’s there to see?”

For some reason, it seemed like the other person breathed a sigh of relief?

Seven or eight kilometers away, a burly middle-aged man stopped a car, and a man and woman, both Supreme, stepped out.

”Three Eyes,” the male Supreme remarked coldly, ”I showed mercy just now.”

”No passage,” Three Eyes, the burly Supreme, retorted coldly, ”Step forward, and you die!”

”Are you crazy?” the female Supreme cursed while raising a hand to perform Finger Technique, ”Do you want to fight one against two? Golden Arrow~”

Three Eyes also performed a Finger Technique, ”Ice Shield! If you keep at it... there’s a ninety percent chance that one doesn’t need to be reclaimed!”

All three engaged, with Three Eyes clearly not a match for the other two, though fortunately all three were relatively restrained.

The woman cursed while fighting, ”Three Eyes, if you keep me from finding my brother, I’ll really go all out!”

”Go all out then,” Three Eyes remained unmoved, and the three continued their chaotic battle.

The male Supreme seemed to attempt a detour, prompting Three Eyes to sneer.

”I only guard this intersection; you better keep that in mind... Also, can you even beat the real target?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a few more Supreme presences arose.

Such situations have occurred frequently on Dream Star lately, with not only many Supremes fighting but also many watching.

However, this Supreme pair came prepared, easily identifying the related presences.

The man’s expression changed, ”You really brought this many people?”

”That master is also watching,” Three Eyes released two Ice Arrows, speaking expressionlessly.

”If you continue to persist, I can’t kill you, but... you’d better not dig your own grave!”

The two Supremes heard this and instantly stopped, exchanging a knowing glance.

The male Supreme asked incredulously, ”That master... is truly here?”

They had higher-ranking beings behind them, certainly unconcerned with Three Eyes.

But if the opposing higher-ranking beings were present, then by all means, they couldn’t push forward recklessly—dying would be futile!

A Supreme killing an A-level usually has no repercussions, and the gap between Supremes and higher-ranking beings is immeasurably larger than that.

”Hah, ganging up on the outnumbered?” A female Supreme shot over, ”Count me in!”

The two Supremes exchanged glances again, then turned and departed in the car without uttering a word!

They had arrived in a fury seeking justice, but never expected the opponent to gather so many strong allies and maintain the upper hand.

So now, without saying anything, they just fled.

Three Eyes and the female Supreme looked at each other, with the latter shaking her head and leaving gracefully, just as she arrived.

Three Eyes wiped his forehead, his face expressionless, but internally sighed.

He wondered about the relationship between the master and that person, willing to protect so fiercely.

Qu Jianlei had no idea that the Supreme battle outside was related to him.

By the afternoon, many stall owners at Wanbao Square had closed up, everyone trying to preserve energy for tomorrow’s main event.

Nutrient Injection and Qu Jianlei also left early—the stalls were so sparse there was nothing to browse.

However, the night market was bustling, full of places to eat, drink, and play.

Qu Jianlei and company were strolling around when suddenly a voice exclaimed nearby, ”Is that... you?”

Qu Jianlei felt the voice was familiar, turned his head and was surprised—it was Yuanyuan!

The same Fire Attribute A-level with Ion Purification Armor, the leader of the Brotherhood.

However, when Qu Jianlei first met her, she was under the guise of Ran Bingluan.

So he casually glanced at her, then unceremoniously averted his gaze.

Yuanyuan blinked, feeling an indescribable sense of kinship with this man.

But she dared not make assumptions; upon arriving here, she realized A-level was practically worthless.

So she whispered to herself, ”Luo Hanshuang’s Treasure Sword was snatched, that’s truly excessive.”

Qu Jianlei was taken aback, wondering if this Treasure Sword really safeguarded anyone... is it legitimate?

If Luo Hanshuang truly obtained the Treasure Sword from Celestial Hook Enigma Mansion—how did you get involved with Bai Tian?

Nutrient Injection sensed his emotional change, glanced at him, then turned away again.

Yuanyuan muttered and continued observing Qu Jianlei, wondering what his reaction would be.

Who would have thought that in a moment of distraction, a few people crashed into her, and when she tried to find that figure again, it was nowhere to be seen.

Her eyes widened, ready to burst into anger, but realized that there were two A-level individuals right in front of her.

With her personality in Celestial Hook, even if there were two A-level individuals, she wouldn’t be intimidated, but here is the Dream Star.

At the moment, there were simply too many supremes here, at least several hundred.

The auction seats total just over a hundred, which means many supremes came just to try their luck.

In such an occasion, she couldn’t afford an outsider A-level to stir up trouble.

She forced herself not to act out, while the few people opposite her became interested instead.

A female A-level spoke with a smile, ”Little sister, are you alone? Be careful, it’s quite dangerous here.”

”Get lost!” Yuanyuan frowned slightly; true to his fire attribute, if he really erupted, he wouldn’t care about anyone.

She always remembered that in the core circle, people from remote areas could lose anything but their valor.

Once valor was lost, it meant being at the mercy of others!

But in the next moment, a sharp object pressed against the back of her neck.

An extremely cold voice said, ”Come with us, Yuanyuan... we don’t want to offend Qinghu, you’d better behave.”

Yuanyuan’s family indeed had connections with Qinghu; Qu Jianlei got to know Qinghu through Yuanyuan.

However, was Yuanyuan really that obedient? Relying on her newly activated Ion Purification Armor, she opened her mouth to shout.

However, the sharp hard object at the back of her neck instantly released a powerful penetrating energy.

The energy went through her skin and veins, making her entire body immobile in an instant.

”This little sister is indeed a bit disobedient,” the woman chuckled, ”Listen, I don’t want to cause you trouble, you stay quiet too.”

Yuanyuan’s heart sank immediately; this cultivation and strength... supreme?

”Quite sensible,” the woman praised lightly as she noticed Yuanyuan’s lack of response, ”What happened with the Luo family’s girl?”

Yuanyuan’s mind stirred upon hearing that, ”You know Luo Hanshuang as well?”

”Who among the awakened doesn’t know the Luo family?” The female supreme snorted coldly, ”The earliest primordial indeed.”

However, once fallen, the earliest primordial warrior was just a symbol.

Yuanyuan pondered for a moment and shook her head, ”She’s fine but the treasure sword obtained from Celestial Hook Enigma Mansion was robbed.”

”Treasure from the Enigma Mansion?” The female supreme’s breathing became slightly rapid; any supreme from an elite institution knew about the Enigma Mansion, after all.

Now the Dream Star is filled with treasures everywhere, given it’s an auction that happens once in several years.

But precisely because treasures are clustered here, those daring to covet them are few.

And the treasures from Celestial Hook Enigma Mansion may be slightly inferior in value but are unquestionably genuine treasures, and not many focus on them.

Eventually, she gave up her greed, for intervening now was all arranged from above.

So she merely asked, ”Want to commission someone to rob it back?”

”I’m afraid it won’t be easy,” Yuanyuan shook her head, ”I’m just here... to try my luck.”

”You aren’t here looking for Qinghu, are you?” The female supreme laughed, ”She’s under a warrant now; even if she came, she wouldn’t dare show up recklessly.”

Yuanyuan’s eyes blinked, ”I’d like to know if that treasure sword is on the auction list.”

Participants in the auction received the list early, but if you’re not part of this circle, you wouldn’t get the list no matter what.

Although Yuanyuan was a prominent figure in the Celestial Hook Star Realm, she didn’t even have the qualification to see the list here.

”Can’t get in,” the female supreme shook her head directly, ”At most, participate in the peripheral auction; you’re not qualified for the main auction.”

Yuanyuan’s eyes widened, earnestly arguing, ”That’s the treasure she obtained in the inner circle of the Enigma Mansion.”

The female supreme shook her head helplessly, ”The complete Dharma Artifact in the main auction is more than one; a weapon... falls short.”

Meanwhile, Qu Jianlei was wandering around the night market with Nutrient Injection.

Just now, Yuanyuan mentioned Bai Tian; he really wanted to know more, but without a doubt, now wasn’t a good time for communication.

Both Yuanyuan and Luo Hanshuang had considerable interactions with Ran Bingluan; even now, Ran Bingluan’s bounty remained high.

Moreover, he considered that he had no debts to these two, and exceeded his promises made earlier.

He was just curious, Yuanyuan and Luo Hanshuang... they hadn’t interacted much before, right?

Not sure what happened, the two of them actually came together.

He had things on his mind, making it hard to focus while wandering.

Nutrient Injection walked silently for quite a while before suddenly speaking, ”Aren’t you worried about that Luo Hanshuang?”

”Why should I be worried?” Qu Jianlei looked at him curiously, ”I owe her nothing.”

”If anything happened to her because of my involvement, I’d just avenge her.”

This was what Terry had said not long ago and it matched his perception.

”After all, it’s just a simple partnership...”

Nutrient Injection was initially listening with a slight smile on his lips, but couldn’t help but twitch hard at the end: a simple partnership?
