Rhine didn’t stand on ceremony with Qu Jianlei; she was just a little A-level, so why be polite to a Supre? "Thank you, sir."
However, she didn’t rush to put away the box but added, "That person would like to visit you."
"Visit ..." Qu Jianlei was stunned for a mont before asking in surprise, "Qinghu Supre?"
"That’s her," Rhine nodded crisply, "To be honest, if she hadn’t found , I wouldn’t have known the news had leaked."
"Qinghu..." A hint of nostalgia flashed in Qu Jianlei’s eyes. She was one of the few people he could truly call a friend.
However, the complications from that matter were too great. It was rare enough for her to move on; why drag her back in?
When he left back then, he said he was going on a long journey and left them many things.
Among them was a set of the "Simplified Qi Gathering Array."
To the current Qu Jianlei, this array wasn’t much, but to him back then, it was truly invaluable!
This generous gift was enough to compare to the search of Half-Star Island; his departure was originally even-steven.
So he always felt that he and Qinghu should be "forgotten in the rivers and lakes."
As friends who appreciate each other, knowing that the other is doing well is enough to be happy; there’s no need to go through thick and thin together.
Collecting his emotions, he shook his head slowly, "Why insist on seeing ?"
You should know her! Rhine carefully observed him; like most won, she had a delicate mind.
It’s not surprising that Supres would know each other, but she had a feeling that the relationship between Rhodiola rosea and Qinghu... wasn’t simple!
So she cautiously ventured, "What if... she wants to get the complete set of data?"
"Then give it to her," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation. However, the next mont, he noticed Rhine’s look of sudden realization.
"What’s with that expression? Between her and ... never mind, you wouldn’t understand anyway, just tell her not to spread it."
"You don’t need to explain," Rhine replied with a half-smile.
Her eyes clearly said—"Explaining is covering up, and covering up is... hmm hmm."
"Could you not have such a complex mind?" Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes, "I just feel a bit indebted."
Indebted is the truth. Back then, Qinghu gave him the information about the Concealing Array, and he promised to give her data when he had results.
He had long since figured out the Concealing Array and used it multiple tis in the Asteroid Belt, but conditions prevented him from fulfilling the promise.
Now still wasn’t the right ti to fulfill it. If he really gave out the Concealing Array, how could Qinghu not realize who he was?
Since fulfilling the promise wasn’t convenient for now, giving her a detailed diagram of the Qi Gathering Array was his show of sincerity.
In fact, he had made many modifications to the Qi Gathering Array, making it very different from before, so he wasn’t worried that she could see through it.
"Indebted, huh..." Rhine dragged the tone, wearing an expression of "I understand, I understand."
"You don’t understand shit!" Qu Jianlei cursed angrily, "Just give her the data... and ask if she’s had any trouble lately."
Rhine’s eyes flickered again, "And if she does have trouble?"
"There’s no need for you to worry so much," Qu Jianlei replied irritably, "I’ll step in when I need to."
That wasn’t wrong, after all, Qinghu hadn’t encountered too much trouble before, and her current predicant was mostly because of him.
In other words, whoever was troubling Qinghu now was surely looking to trouble him!
Therefore, even if not for Qinghu, he would make those troublemakers pay!
Nailed it! Rhine was finally certain; the relationship between Rhodiola rosea and Qinghu far exceeded everyone’s imagination.
She had so understanding now. No wonder both of them were researching improvents to the Qi Gathering Array.
But for so reason, she also felt a bit lost.
Still, there’s no need to fuss over it. May all lovebirds in the world who have been separated for years... eventually beco partners.
While the two were chatting, Qinghu was sitting in a courtyard, opposite her was a blurry shadow.
The shadow’s face was unclear, but one could vaguely see a graceful figure, also female.
She spoke lazily, "For your master’s sake, I’ll block this karma for you... Here’s a life-saving talisman."
A black tablet flew into Qinghu’s hand, "If you’re in danger, just crush it, and you’ll be sent to ."
"But..." Qinghu hesitated for a mont before speaking with difficulty, "This junior has two friends."
"You need to know your limits," the blurry figure said indifferently, "Do not be overly ambitious!"
"I’ve agreed to lend a hand for your master’s sake... A friend’s friend is not my friend."
Qinghu hesitated before saying, "This junior is willing to offer the improvents to the Qi Gathering Array."
"Oh?" The blurry figure seed to take interest, "What level is it?"
Qinghu hesitated for a brief mont before reluctantly replying, "The... the simplified version."
"Hehe," the blurry figure let out a laugh with an unclear aning.
Qinghu’s mouth curled into a bitter smile, and she sighed, "Senior, there are fewer and fewer people researching the Primordial Warrior System these days."
"Humph," a blurry figure let out a soft hum and then disappeared, leaving only a fleeting remark.
"Focusing on cultivation is the right path, all these external matters need not be overly valued."
Qinghu stood silently for a few minutes, then walked out of the courtyard without a word.
Later that day, Rhine received communication from Qinghu, "Did you talk to that supre one?"
Rhine replied steadily, "Yes, the supre one said there’s no need to et; she can give you a blueprint, on the condition that it does not spread."
"Blueprint..." Qinghu thought for a mont and found it acceptable, "It won’t spread."
The senior she contacted might not even think much of this blueprint, but if she could glean sothing from it, she would benefit.
As for spreading it? That’s almost impossible, since they lack nothing, risking reputation is out of the question.
However, if the information is fully digested and transford into her own insights... there’s a fair chance of that.
Of course, with Qinghu’s pride, taking this favor for nothing was impossible, "Thank you, what do I need to contribute?"
"There’s no need to contribute," naturally, Rhine couldn’t profit behind Qu Jianlei’s back.
"The esteed person values fellow enthusiasts, if you have any insights on arrays, feel free to exchange ideas."
Qinghu was slightly surprised at these words but quickly adjusted her mood as a magnanimous person.
The next day, Qu Jianlei received news that Qinghu had taken the relevant materials and handed over so insights on spirit text research.
He glanced through the insights, there were very few unique thoughts, the help... was minimal at best.
So perspectives had been exchanged when they were on Half-Star Island, now she brought them out again.
Thinking of Half-Star Island, he couldn’t help rembering Yuanyuan, that fellow... has she started challenging the suprer realm?
But, by and large, they were already distant mories in the rivers and lakes.
Back then, four supres surrounded him, bringing trouble to the other side, now it’s unnecessary to drag her into it.
Five days later, Bentley finally showed signs of moving towards the A-level, and Qu Jianlei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Paranoid was even happier, finally seeing dawn, once this matter passes, the next steps can proceed.
However, at this ti, Qinghu ca to visit the Rhodiola rosea.
When she first received news of the Qi Gathering Array materials, she was unsure where Rhine had gotten these things.
But enough ti had passed for her to gather information, likely indicating that the materials ca from Rhodiola rosea’s team.
She did so research on this team, knowing they’re a ruthless group, but she wasn’t particularly concerned.
The information Qinghu received indicated that, although they are domineering, there’s no evidence showing they actively stir trouble.
As for not tolerating insults, that’s too normal, with strength as their shield, why endure provocations?
Moreover, even if their aggressive nature shows, Qinghu would not fear them; her confidence stems from her formidable power.
Even Qu Jianlei had once considered Qinghu the strongest of the supres he had encountered.
She is herself a mutant gold attribute—sand, with her skills leaning toward earth attribute, truly balancing offense and defense.
With such strength, Qinghu’s bold visit to Rhodiola rosea is reasonable.
Qu Jianlei truly did not want to disturb the other’s life, but now that she was at the doorstep, ignoring her would be improper.
At the first sight of Qu Jianlei, Qinghu slightly furrowed her brows; his aura gave her a familiar feeling.
She straightforwardly asked, "Have we t sowhere before?"
Qu Jianlei was a bit speechless; he didn’t want to drag her in but also didn’t wish to deceive a forr friend.
So he just chuckled, "Why need acquaintance at a chance encounter, is it that important?"
"Hmm?" Qinghu looked at him expressionlessly, with a seemingly contemplative gaze.
The Paranoid sat quietly beside them, watching their conversation with interested amusent.
After a mont of silence, Qinghu spoke again, "I ca to express my gratitude and have so questions to ask."
Qu Jianlei gestured towards the bystander, "If it’s about array issues, just ask him."
Recently, the Paranoid had nothing to do, indeed pondered over his transford Qi Gathering Array, and talked about it plenty.
Strictly speaking, every supre has a considerable dedication to research; otherwise, reaching this realm is unlikely.
The Paranoid even aspired to delve into the Qi Gathering Array, but Qu Jianlei remained tight-lipped on such topics.
These are core secrets he might not even teach in the future, let alone at a ti lacking mutual trust.
The Paranoid rolled his eyes and lazily said, "How can you be so lazy?"
"Hmm?" Qu Jianlei gave him a light glance, "Which one of us is lazier?"
"I’m not criticizing, but after being out of touch with society for so long... you should do sothing, right?"
Right then, Xiang Xue’s voice ca through the intercom, "Qingyu Supre has co to visit."
