Chapter 230: Chapter 229 Clear Stupidity

"Who did this?" Rong Chengjue frowned as he stared at the red mark on Rong Yueqing’s face.

The swelling on Rong Yueqing’s face had subsided somewhat after being iced, and she purposely turned her head toward Qu Tong, a smile appearing on her face, "It’s all right now, that Star Thief is dead."

Rong Chengjue glanced at the scene and then back at Qu Tong, who was by Rong Yueqing’s side, his expression easing as he said,

"Thank you."

Qu Tong replied indifferently, "You’re welcome."

Rong Chengjue asked, "Miss Jun Li, are you also heading to E12 Star?"

"Yes." Qu Tong nodded in affirmation.

This was the necessary route to E12 Star, not hard to guess.

"The Star Thieves are rampant around here, why not come with us?" Rong Chengjue unexpectedly extended an invitation.

Rong Yueqing looked at Qu Tong with anticipation.

Before Qu Tong could answer, Feng Lin came over after handling the situation.

"Miss Jun Li, thank you for your intervention, or I would have had to put in quite an effort." Feng Lin approached and said.

Not far away, Zhao Qian was sharing the details of the recent events with other soldiers, his loud voice could be heard from a distance,

"Ahahaha! No problem, what’s the point of a sniper rifle if not to snipe chickens?"

Qu Tong: "..."

Feng Lin noticed the embarrassment on Qu Tong’s face and raised his voice to call Zhao Qian.

The discussions subsided.

Turning back, Feng Lin slightly apologetically said, "Sorry."

"I was originally aiming for the Star Thief’s head," Qu Tong explained.

Implicitly, the two headshots were accidents.

"I know, Miss Jun Li’s marksmanship is very precise," Feng Lin acknowledged with a nod.

Qu Tong could sense the praise in Feng Lin’s words, with no hint of jest.

Qu Tong sighed in relief. It was good that Captain Feng understood her; otherwise, she really wouldn’t know how to converse with him calmly.

Recalling Feng Lin’s use of his special ability, Qu Tong’s curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, "Is the Mind Control Type ability about controlling whatever you want to control?"

"Sort of, but it doesn’t work on living beings or objects that are too large," Feng Lin stated candidly.

Qu Tong looked at Feng Lin anew, wondering if this counted as revealing secrets?

But Feng Lin seemed unconcerned, maintaining composure and confidence throughout.

The two of them seemed to get along and after a brief exchange, Feng Lin also made an invitation.

"Captain Feng is also heading to E12 Star?" Qu Tong was somewhat surprised.

Feng Lin: "I didn’t plan on going, but I just received a message. My family wants me to check on something."

Qu Tong glanced back at Rong Chengjue and Rong Yueqing.

Rong Chengjue teased her with a raised eyebrow, while Rong Yueqing wore an expression of having something to say but hesitating.

Qu Tong still politely declined Feng Lin.

Feng Lin graciously accepted the refusal, expressing his hope to see her again on E12 Star.

Then he went back to deal with the aftermath.

Qu Tong got onto Rong Chengjue’s flying craft with Rong Yueqing.

A weak voice rose from behind them, "Um, could you take me with you?"

Qu Tong turned her head, Mi Qiu?

Rong Yueqing recognized him; he was the righteous young man who had spoken up to help her and ended up taking a kick.

"Thank you for earlier," Rong Yueqing sincerely expressed her gratitude.

```

Qu Tong scratched his head awkwardly, "No need to thank me, I didn’t really help."

Qu Tong met Mi Qiu’s evaluating gaze and explained embarrassingly, "I accidentally offended the party A’s big shot and got kicked out to experience life. Even my flyer was confiscated."

Qu Tong was silent for a while before asking, "Are you really the biological son of your parents?"

Mi Qiu immediately became excited, as if he had found a kindred soul: "Miss Jun Li also thinks my parents are too much, right? I have no standing in my family, just like a freebie you get with a phone recharge, sob sob~"

Qu Tong: "No, I mean, there’s a kind of pure stupidity about you."

Mi Qiu: "..."

Rong Chengjue saw that the two knew each other and allowed Mi Qiu to follow them.

However, Mi Qiu was seated separately in the back, with a partition separating the front and back in the seven-person flyer.

Mi Qiu had no objections, thinking it was good enough to follow the big shots. Otherwise, a small fry like him would only be waiting for death if he encountered a Star Thief.

Rong Yueqing sat next to Qu Tong, touched by what she had heard, she said to Qu Tong, "Thank you, Sister Ali, for taking up for me."

Qu Tong turned her head and smiled at Rong Yueqing. The gentle and beautiful Yueqing could make any word sound sweet, which lifted her previously gloomy mood quite a bit.

Rong Yueqing was dazzled by Qu Tong’s smile, looking somewhat dazed.

Qu Tong found Rong Yueqing’s expression extremely cute and couldn’t resist pinching her good cheek.

Rong Yueqing was the epitome of a gentle and frail beauty, innocent and kind, with every frown and smile infused with tenderness to the bone, unlike her who just habitually presented a side that was more easily accepted by others.

Rong Yueqing’s face flushed with Qu Tong’s teasing, blooming like a peach, vivid and stunning.

"Sister Ali, are you this nice to everyone?"

"Not really."

The two chatted and laughed, with Rong Chengjue acting as the driver.

Rong Yueqing talked about the auction, expressing their desire to bid for the Special Grade Potion.

Qu Tong knew, of course, that anyone would bid for the Special Grade Potion if they could afford it.

Even if they didn’t need it themselves, it could be used for gifting. Everyone in the Empire wanted to curry favor with the few known SSS-rank powerhouses who, aside from herself, were all in high positions.

Moreover, a few SS+ rank individuals would need the Special Grade Potion in their later stages, and for them, the potion could be life-saving.

Statistics showed that with an outbreak value of over 90%, there was a probability that higher grade potions could save lives.

As Rong Yueqing spoke openly to Qu Tong without any defenses, Rong Chengjue surprisingly didn’t say much.

He even took the initiative to mention his own situation.

Rong Chengjue wasn’t originally SSS-rank; he had enhanced himself later on through certain methods, but with side effects. That was why he desperately needed the potions, not just the Advanced Mind Stabilizing Potion but the Special Grade Potion even more.

Qu Tong looked at Rong Chengjue inexplicably.

Given Rong Chengjue’s deep thoughts and having seen him once on E12 Star, Qu Tong figured he must have guessed something.

But then again, telling her deliberately was of no use; she wouldn’t sympathize.

Upon arriving at E12 Star, Qu Tong split up from Rong Chengjue. Mi Qiu said he was going to apply for the position of auctioneer’s assistant and incidentally get back half a month’s salary he had previously worked for nothing.

The auction was to take place in the evening, and because of the allure of the Special Grade Potion, many people had already gathered.

Qu Tong picked out a fox mask and asked Yu Yao to come and meet her.

In the private room at the far end of the third floor, Rong Yueqing followed Rong Chengjue’s gaze and asked in confusion, "Brother, why do you keep staring at Sister Ali?"

Rong Chengjue looked at Rong Yueqing coldly, "She is three months younger than you."

Rong Yueqing: "??"

Is that the point?

But Rong Chengjue had already left the room, leaving behind a sentence, "Don’t go out before I get back."

Qu Tong followed Yu Yao into the chief appraiser’s exclusive suite, where Old Yuan was feeding the fish in front of a stream tank.

After sending Yu Yao to prepare the potions, Elder Yuan enthusiastically waved Qu Tong over, "My disciple, you’ve finally come. Come over and help me purify these water plants so I won’t have to replace the fish every week."
