“Buselei! Chief Su Mo is here to find me under the orders of Star Ring City. I just didn’t expect him to arrive so quickly.”

Buselei’s eyes flashed with a fierce look, but he quickly returned to normal. He looked at Su Mo and asked,

“Oh, is that so?”

Su Mo also felt a little strange, but he wasn’t stupid. He immediately echoed Kleehiya’s words and said,

“Yes, I’m here to find Kleehiya. I originally wanted to give her a surprise.”

“Chief Su Mo, I think you’ve explained everything. If there’s nothing else, you should leave first.”

Kleehiya then said to Su Mo.

“Uh…”

Su Mo was speechless for a moment. Wasn’t this just seeing him off?

Unexpectedly, Buselei said, “Kleehiya, it’s rare for Chief Su Mo to come here. We can’t just let him leave like that. We should keep him here for a few days, so people won’t say we don’t know how to treat guests.”

“That’s not very convenient. Chief Su Mo still has a lot of things to do, right?”

Kleehiya retorted faintly.

Su Mo’s heart fluttered as he listened to their conversation. Even if he was dense, he could sense something was wrong.

Under normal circumstances, he should have found an excuse to leave, following Kleehiya’s words. But judging from the current situation, leaving would only make things more suspicious. Besides, he came with a purpose, so how could he really leave empty-handed? So he said with a smile,

“Actually, my matters aren’t that urgent. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Kleehiya. It’s rare to see her, so it doesn’t matter if I stay a few more days.”

Kleehiya’s fair face twitched slightly upon hearing Su Mo’s words, revealing a hint of barely noticeable annoyance.

However, she quickly regained her composure.

On the other hand, Buselei’s eyes grew colder when he saw Su Mo acting so familiar with Kleehiya, but he didn’t flare up. He just said,

“In that case, Chief Su Mo, please stay here. We will treat you well.”

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

Su Mo replied with a smile.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Kleehiya took the initiative and said, “Chief Su Mo, please come with me. I’ll take you to your accommodations and introduce you to our camp.”

“Okay.”

Su Mo nodded quickly.

Then, Kleehiya led Su Mo away.

Buselei stared at Su Mo’s departing figure, his expression becoming increasingly sinister.

The companions standing next to Buselei asked in a low voice,

“Lord Buselei, is it okay to let an outsider stay in our base?”

“Then would it be less problematic to immediately ask him to leave?”

“Uh, what should we do then?”

“What else can we do? Keep an eye on him.”

Buselei said with a changing expression.

“Yes.”

…

On the other side, Kleehiya led Su Mo into an assembled base cabin.

The guarding soldiers inside saluted Kleehiya, but their eyes were unusually cold when they saw Su Mo.

It made Su Mo feel very uncomfortable. The xenophobia here was unusually severe.

Kleehiya led Su Mo through a winding path and into a spacious room with all kinds of living facilities.

“Chief Su Mo, you can stay here. You can come to me if you need anything. I’m next door.”

Kleehiya said to Su Mo.

“Okay.”

Su Mo replied in a good mood.

Kleehiya then said to Su Mo, “Chief Su Mo, because this is a secret base of the Immortal Empire, the security level is very high, and there are many sensitive areas, so I hope you don’t run around without a good reason. If you really want to go somewhere, it’s best to tell me, and I will accompany you.”

“Okay, thank you very much. By the way, Kleehiya, I want to ask you something. Why did you keep trying to make me leave just now?”

Su Mo asked in a low voice.

“Did I? That didn’t happen.”

Kleehiya replied faintly, not admitting it at all.

Su Mo felt even stranger after hearing this. Of course, he couldn’t really question Kleehiya, after all, their relationship was still considered harmonious, but it hadn’t reached the point of being very close.

“Haha, then I must have been mistaken.”

“It’s okay.”

Kleehiya replied casually.

Su Mo then asked curiously, “Kleehiya, why did the Immortal Empire build such a large camp here? Did you dig up any good mines nearby? Of course, don’t worry, I’m just curious, I don’t mean anything else.”

“I’m not too sure either. I just came back to take care of some things. Chief Su Mo, you must be tired, right? Why don’t you take a good rest first, and I’ll come and call you when it’s time to eat later.”

Kleehiya didn’t answer Su Mo directly.

“Alright.”

Su Mo nodded.

Kleehiya turned and left the room.

Soon, Su Mo was the only one left in the room. Su Mo glanced at all the facilities in the room.

The Creator Devourer said in a low voice, “There are no surveillance devices or anything like that in this room. That little girl gave you a nice room. But since you came in, the number of patrolling soldiers outside has increased. These people from the Immortal Empire feel strange.”

“I also feel that something is strange, and they are extremely vigilant and very unwelcome. I even have a feeling that they are preparing to do something big here.”

Su Mo replied faintly.

“Then you’re still staying? Aren’t you afraid they’ll turn hostile?”

The Creator Devourer replied in a low voice.

“I don’t want to stay either, but the thing we’re looking for is also here, so we have no choice! Don’t worry, they shouldn’t have the guts to do anything to me, after all, I am a proper officer of Star Ring City, and Kleehiya is here too. At most, they just won’t give us a good look.”

Su Mo weighed the risks and felt that they were still within a controllable range.

“Okay, I understand.”

The Creator Devourer didn’t say much more.

Su Mo then lay down on the bed and stretched. He planned to get a good night’s sleep to replenish his energy, and then slowly investigate.

It was a rare opportunity to lie down and sleep, so he couldn’t waste it.

…

Inside the main base cabin corridor.

Buselei walked quickly inside. Soon, he arrived in front of a closed door and pressed a button.

After a few seconds, the closed door opened.

Inside was a handsome man with purple eyes, hair reaching his shoulders, and an extraordinary aura, exuding a noble demeanor.

“Crown Prince Kiyat.”

Buselei respectfully saluted Kiyat.

“What is it?”

Kiyat asked faintly.

“Your Highness Kiyat, there’s a problem. Princess Kleehiya brought in an uninvited guest.”

“What is Kleehiya doing? Bringing in outsiders at this critical moment. Who is that person?”

“It’s Colonel Su Mo from Star Ring City.”

“What is he doing here?”
