Datela smiled at that. "I wasn't joking. It's mainly because a tall tree catches the wind. It gets rather annoying."
Qu Jianlei nodded. For an Above Supreme, that really was a problem. No matter how high one's cultivation, there were still times when one could not bear being constantly bothered.
After a brief pause, Datela spoke again. "How should I address you, sir?"
"That isn't important." Qu Jianlei smiled and waved a hand. "A name is only a label, isn't it?"
"You came looking for Digital Phantom, and I happened to be here. It's that simple."
"Uh, all right." Datela hesitated briefly, then gave a slight nod.
"I may have been presumptuous in coming here this time. Mainly, I wanted to ask about the whereabouts of my old friend, Da Vinci."
"Da Vinci..." Qu Jianlei drew out the name, his expression unchanged. "Why did you think to come to us?"
"Because Digital Phantom was the one who rescued him," Datela answered calmly.
"All right, but that alone isn't enough. The Energy Stone Mine connected to Kabus on Paradise Star... Da Vinci handled that too, didn't he?"
Qu Jianlei looked at him blandly. The next moment, he could not help laughing, his expression a little strange. "I didn't know he had such a loose tongue."
"It wasn't exactly loose talk," Datela replied in a deep voice. "He was probably afraid people would connect him to Digital Phantom, so he asked me to handle it."
"I knew it..." Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes helplessly. "You wouldn't have come knocking without some confidence."
"But it'll be rather difficult for me to contact Da Vinci right now. Would it be convenient for you to tell me what this is about?"
"That doesn't matter." Seeing that the other party did not deny it, Datela nodded
