Qinghu watched Rhodiola rosea communicating with another man, feeling a bit strange.
She could perceive that the unknown man exuded a dangerous aura and was probably a Supre.
She even vaguely sensed that this man might be more dangerous than Rhodiola rosea.
But how could this Rhodiola rosea speak to the other party like that? And, what does "detached from society for a long ti" an?
At this mont, news ca that Qingyu Supre was coming for a visit, so the three of them simply continued to wait in the reception room.
Qu Jianlei, being the host, did not go out to greet him, purely out of resentnt that the starship had just landed and was surrounded by the military.
Qinghu, as a guest, naturally did not see fit to welco him, considering her high self-regard.
As for the Paranoid... in his eyes, Liu Qingyu was hardly noteworthy, so why would he lower himself to go out and greet him?
Liu Qingyu was led in by Xiang Xue, feeling slightly discontent.
I, the Qingyu Supre, co by, and the only one you send to greet is a newly advanced A-level?
Upon entering the reception room, none of the three inside stood up to exchange greetings, which was even more excessive.
However, among them was actually Qinghu Supre? He was slightly surprised.
It was no secret that Qinghu was coming to Celestial Handle Star, but Liu Qingyu spent most of his ti in the military region, focusing only on military news.
Qingyu Supre knew that Qinghu was not only young but had promising prospects and formidable strength.
He was not surprised by Qinghu’s deanor—since the other was also a guest, being more hospitable than the host could imply being overzealous.
However, the behavior of the other two really seed to disregard him.
Qu Jianlei’s attitude also indicated this as he nodded lightly, "Qingyu Supre has arrived? Please have a seat."
Liu Qingyu nodded slightly, then sat down by himself, "Greetings to Rhodiola rosea Supre; apologies for coming uninvited."
Then, without waiting for a reply, he turned to the Paranoid, "I’ve heard you’re soone from my past. May I know how to address you?"
This action seed a bit rash, indirectly expressing his dissatisfaction.
However, the Paranoid glanced at him and coldly spoke, "The term ’Your Excellency’ is not for you to use; call Senior!"
"Huh?" Liu Qingyu was really taken aback, daring to call himself Senior in front of ?
However, at the supre level, few would dare to boast falsely. Hearing this, he dared not neglect and respectfully lifted his hand.
"Then I’ve t the Senior; it’s just that your aura... I can’t quite recall it. Could you give a hint?"
The Paranoid glanced at him disdainfully, "You’re not worth pretending to be Senior."
"I rember you advanced to B-level through a girl’s support. How is she now?"
When Liu Qingyu was at C-level, he was injured and took over twenty years to advance to B-level, mainly due to financial constraints.
This fact was known by so insiders, but the identity of the woman who supported him was known to very few.
Those inford individuals mostly fell at the threshold of one hundred and fifty years of age.
Hearing this, Qingyu Supre was stunned, then after a long sigh, replied wearily, "She has passed away."
"Tsk," the Paranoid smacked his lips upon hearing this, "You once said you’d never let her down in this life; I don’t know if you managed that."
Shocked by these words, Liu Qingyu looked at the other incredulously, "Who exactly are you, Senior?"
"You just need to know that I’m not a pretender," the Paranoid said calmly, "Weren’t you planning to go to the Divine Text Association?"
At this point, how could Liu Qingyu dare to have any doubts? He respectfully answered, "A-Zhen hopes that I remain in the military."
"Ah, A-Zhen, that girl," the Paranoid nodded, "What brings you here today?"
"Curiosity," Liu Qingyu replied honestly, "I’ve always been wondering who the person from my past is and was waiting to et you... My apologies."
"No matter," the Paranoid waved his hand dismissively, "By the way, what about your senior who aid to reach the Supre at eighty?"
"Oh, him," a hint of wistfulness passed through Liu Qingyu’s eyes, "He tried twice but failed and passed away over a century ago."
"Alright, you’ve confird I’m not a fake," the Paranoid nodded, "Farewell then."
This gesture gave Liu Qingyu a sense of déjà vu, but upon thinking carefully, he couldn’t recall why.
He pondered a mont and asked, "Senior, you’re probably over three hundred years old now, aren’t you?"
This remark made Qinghu’s eyes widen instantly—not possible, could this person actually be above the Supre level?
"Go back to your military region honestly," the Paranoid said expressionlessly, "I’ve already told you, don’t inquire about !"
He spoke with an air of age, but he neither admitted nor denied being over three hundred years old, did he?
Liu Qingyu had so speculation in his mind but dared not speak it aloud.
He stood up, speaking respectfully, "I deeply apologize for the military’s rudeness this ti, and I hope Senior will forgive us."
"If Senior has any instructions, please let know, and I will certainly not disappoint you."
"There’s nothing really to say," the Paranoid glanced at Qu Jianlei, "Old Rhodiola, do you have anything to add?"
"Just handle a few military passes," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "the Customs Enforcent Division passes alone aren’t enough."
The Paranoid nodded upon hearing that, "This indeed is not difficult to handle, Liu Qingyu, no issue, right?"
"Well..." Qingyu Supre heard that and hesitated for a mont.
His position in the military is very high, but that doesn’t an everything he does is easy.
In fact, he doesn’t handle any basic affairs; it’s enough to stabilize situations at critical monts.
Without responsible domains, naturally, there is no leverage for a trade of interests, so he relies entirely on personal connections when handling affairs in the military.
If soone truly doesn’t play ball, he would need to find an excuse to deal with the offenders.
This applies to the permits that the other party wants now. He can handle it, but would have to use his connections.
Usually, the concerned people won’t refuse, given the rapport with the Supre, but he hardly likes owing favors.
However, Liu Qingyu then nodded, "Alright, no problem. How many do you need?"
"Four or five would suffice," the Paranoid casually replied, "the kind that allows starships to skip inspection."
Allowing starships to skip inspections... Liu Qingyu pursed his lips, internally thinking this expressed dissatisfaction with the military’s compulsory checks.
The military does have such permits, but it’s foreseeable the attached responsibility wouldn’t be small.
Liu Qingyu didn’t care much for responsibility; at his level, it’s actually easy to shift bla.
Thinking of how others nearly passed the buck onto their grandchildren, he felt a bit of displeasure.
Solely because of that, he could justify orchestrating a sche, let alone it was a request from the other party.
So, he hesitated a little and straightforwardly nodded, "Can do, but it will cost money."
The Paranoid didn’t realize he’d get such a response, more surprising than being declined.
"Cost money?"
"Yes, cost money," Liu Qingyu nodded calmly, "Not much money, twenty thousand per permit, but it does cost money."
Strictly speaking, this amount isn’t small; college teacher Bellini’s monthly salary is just two thousand, equivalent to ten months’ salary.
But acquiring such permits can effectively protect starships; a re twenty thousand is just a matter of slightly accelerating the starship.
For the four Supres and one A-level present, this amount really is a drop in the bucket.
Qinghu was a bit surprised upon hearing, "Then I’ll pay a hundred thousand, get five permits too."
She might not necessarily use these, but they’re really too cheap, so she might as well catch the ride.
After all, just a hundred thousand, even if it goes down the drain, it’s no big deal.
However, Qu Jianlei noticed sothing was off, he thoughtfully looked at Liu Qingyu, "Then issue a hundred!"
A hundred would be two million, if there’s any issue, it might warrant a visit to Qingyu Supre.
"Red Supre, don’t joke around," Liu Qingyu smiled wryly upon hearing, "How could we possibly issue that many?"
He knew before arriving, Rhodiola rosea wasn’t soone easy to deal with, but he discovered post-arrival, truly difficult.
That inscrutable "senior" seed to act according to Rhodiola rosea’s wishes, how could he dare act rashly?
Xiang Xue, however, figured sothing out, "If sothing happens, it’s soone illegally trading permits?"
Not surprising with an Earth Scholar dad, she truly was knowledgeable.
Though Liu Qingyu was quite senior, he was slightly embarrassed discussing this matter.
He coughed lightly twice, "Cough cough, I’m rely making a connection, otherwise I’d pay this money myself."
Whose kid is this? When the Supre speaks, why butt in?
Upon hearing, the Paranoid frowned, displeasedly saying, "Planning not to follow through at any mont?"
To be fair, Liu Qingyu, as a seasoned Supre, had weathered many storms, rarely taking others’ nonsense.
But sohow when this man spoke, it always left him feeling alard.
So he could only explain apprehensively, "If any uncertainties arise, it also allows for maneuvering... You know."
Uncertain when it started, "you know" beca an unspoken reference within Imperial society.
The Paranoid eventually caught on, "So, the permits are still valid?"
"Of course, I can personally vouch for them," Liu Qingyu replied without hesitation.
"I can endorse the permits’ validity, but if any uncontrollable factors erge, I too could be misled."
These words were sowhat openly shaless, yet also conveyed his sincerity.
Upon hearing, the Paranoid was surprised looking at him, "In your youth, you were so full of righteousness, didn’t expect..."
"People grow," Liu Qingyu unbothered replied, "In my youth, I bore others’ burdens many tis."
"Now that I’ve made it, I have the authority to let others take the fall, why not do it?"
"Those taking the bla might be innocent, but that’s the cost of growth... when I was wronged back then, who spoke up for ?"
