Doing missions was not exclusive to cultivators of the sects. In fact, rogue cultivators would also accept missions. However, rogue cultivators did not have any contribution points. Rogue cultivators could only obtain crystal stones or jade essences from completing missions. There were very few other things that they could obtain from completing missions.
Moreover, Sect Cultivators and Rogue Cultivators took different missions. Sect Cultivators took missions from their own sects, so the rewards were also very generous. On the other hand, Rogue Cultivators received all kinds of tasks. Some were sent out by merchants, some were sent out by farmers. Some Rogue Cultivators received quests that sounded very strange. For example, if a farm's canal was blocked, and the farmers had no way to clear it, then they would take out some crystal stones and ask some Rogue Cultivators to help them. Merchants wanted to buy goods from afar, but they were afraid of danger on the road, so they would also ask some Rogue Cultivators to help them.
Don't think that there were no bandits in the True Spirit Realm. In fact, there were quite a lot of bandits in the True Spirit Realm. These bandits were mostly made up of Rogue Cultivators. They relied on robbing ordinary merchants to make a living. Moreover, these people usually looked like ordinary Rogue Cultivators. Sometimes, they would just act as bandits. Because of this, the Great Sects couldn't track them down.
Because of this, many merchants in the True Spirit Realm would hire Rogue Cultivators as bodyguards when they go out. This was to ensure their safety. This wasn't strange.
One shouldn't think that just because the True Spirit Realm was a world ruled by cultivators, ordinary people didn't have merchants. In fact, merchants existed all the time, and the True Spirit Realm was the same. There were a lot of merchants in the True Spirit Realm, and many ordinary merchants lived a good life. However, if a merchant clan didn't have the support of a few cultivators, then the clan wouldn't be able to survive for a long time. This was the reality of the True Spirit Realm.
But because of this, there were a lot of Rogue Cultivators in the True Spirit Realm. And these Rogue Cultivators relied on ordinary people to make a living. Because of this, it was very normal to ask a Rogue Cultivator if he wanted to take a mission.
The butler looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Do you have a purpose? If Mister doesn't have a purpose, we would like to ask Mister to do some escort missions, which is to protect our Young Lady. Our Young Lady is going to visit her relatives in Flying Cloud City, so we would like to ask Mister to protect her. If Mister agrees, we will be responsible for the food and lodging on the way. When we arrive at Flying Cloud City, we will give Mister 50 Jade Essences as a reward. "
This reward was quite generous, especially for a rogue cultivator. However, Zhao Hai didn't feel anything about this reward. What he cared about was what it represented.
The Rong Clan was not a small clan. They were inextricably linked to the Tyrant's Blade School, especially in the territory of the Tyrant's Blade School. Almost all cultivators, whether they were rogue cultivators or bandits, knew about the relationship between the Rong Clan and the Tyrant's Blade School. Those people wouldn't dare to touch the Rong Clan. As long as they were in the territory of the Tyrant's Blade School, the Rong Clan should be safe.
But now, the Rong Clan was willing to pay such a high price to hire him as a bodyguard. Was there any inside story?
When the butler saw that Zhao Hai was frowning, he couldn't help but ask, "Does Mister have another mission? That's really a pity. "
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "No, Mister. I'm afraid that I won't be able to handle this mission. In fact, I just completed a mission. I don't have any other missions right now. If Mister doesn't mind, then I'll take this mission." Although he didn't know why the Rong Clan was being so careful, Zhao Hai still decided to take this mission. This was because he also wanted to go to Flying Cloud City.
Flying Cloud City wasn't an ordinary city under the Tyrant's Blade School. It could be said that Flying Cloud City was the border city of the Tyrant's Blade School. Flying Cloud City was the territory of another Sect, the Butterfly Sect.
This Butterfly Sect wasn't a Beast Cultivator Sect. In fact, the reason why they were named this sect was related to their weapons, movement techniques, and demonic beasts. The weapons of the Butterfly Sect were very unique. Their weapons were all large butterfly knives. Their movement technique was also known as the Butterfly Dance Piercing Movement Technique. They also had a type of life source demonic beast, the Hidden Mist Blade-Winged Butterfly.
The Butterfly Sect wasn't a big sect, but the cultivators of this sect were very difficult to deal with. First, it was because of their weapons, their butterfly knives. In the Real Spiritual World, this was a very strange weapon. Second, it was because of their movement technique. Their Butterfly Dance was very famous in the Real Spiritual World. This kind of movement technique was erratic and unpredictable. Third, it was because of their demonic beasts.
The Hidden Mist Blade-Winged Butterfly was just like its name. This butterfly could emit fog. This fog could not only block a cultivator's vision, it could also block a cultivator's spiritual force. It could also turn a cultivator deaf and blind. The wings of this butterfly were even more strange. Their wings were very tough and thin at the bottom. They could hide their bodies in the fog and then suddenly fly out and use their wings to cut their enemies. They were definitely a very troublesome demonic beast.
Although the people of the Butterfly Sect didn't dare to provoke the Tyrant's Blade School, they didn't necessarily fear the Tyrant's Blade School. However, the Butterfly Sect and the Tyrant's Blade School didn't have any conflicts. This was because the relationship between the two sects was quite good. They could be considered as allies.
Naturally, there were no real allies in the Real Spiritual World. The Butterfly Sect and the Tyrant's Blade School still had some small conflicts on the border. However, both sides didn't go too far. But because of this, the border between the two sides wasn't so peaceful.
Zhao Hai wanted to go to the Butterfly Sect to see how the cultivators of the sect used the butterfly knives. In his impression, the butterfly knives were small knives. However, as far as he knew, the butterfly knives of the Butterfly Sect weren't small knives. Therefore, Zhao Hai wanted to see it for himself.
It was precisely because of this reason that Zhao Hai agreed to hire the Rong Family this time. When the housekeeper heard Zhao Hai's words, he nodded and said to Zhao Hai, "That's good. Mister, please get on the carriage." Then he pointed to the carriage.
Zhao Hai nodded. He saw that there were two seats in front of the carriage where people could stand. It seemed like they were specially prepared for the guards. Zhao Hai didn't say anything and cupped his fist towards the housekeeper. Then he jumped and stood on the left side of the carriage. When the housekeeper saw Zhao Hai's actions, he couldn't help but nod. Then he turned to the driver and said, "Let's go." The driver shook the reins in his hand and the carriage rushed forward.
Zhao Hai stood on the carriage and looked at the scenery on both sides of the road. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, he hadn't had this kind of experience for a long time. In the past, he was the one sitting inside the carriage. But now, he had become a guard.
After thinking about this, Zhao Hai's face couldn't help but reveal a smile. He felt that all of this was very interesting. However, Zhao Hai didn't want to see what the Third Miss of the Rong Family looked like. He already had Laura and the others, so he didn't want to provoke women.
Laura and the others had been with him for a long time. From the lower realms until now, their relationship had reached a point where nothing could separate them. In this case, Zhao Hai didn't want to provoke women. This was because if he did, then it would be harmful to Laura and the others. Zhao Hai wouldn't do such a thing.
Because of this, Zhao Hai was now playing the role of an ordinary Rogue Cultivator. In front of the Rong Family, he naturally had to be honest. Therefore, he just stood on the carriage and played the role of a bodyguard.
The carriage's speed was very fast. Moreover, the driver was very familiar with the road. At noon, they arrived at a small town called River City. In River City, there was a river that flowed through the city. This river wasn't very famous, nor was it a big river. However, it was one of the most famous water transportation routes in the area.
Although River City wasn't a big city, because it was near the river, the city's climate was very good. The city was also very clean. The food made by the restaurants in the city were also very good.
When the driver stopped the carriage in front of the hotel, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. He thought that with the status of the Rong Family's Young Miss, she would find a decent hotel. But now, the hotel that they were in was just a small shop. However, looking inside, one could see that there were a lot of people inside.
After the carriage stopped, Zhao Hai got off and stood next to the carriage. At the same time, the steward also got off the carriage and entered the small restaurant called the Yu Family's Old Shop.
Zhao Hai knew what the steward was doing. With the status of the Rong Family's Young Miss, eating in a small restaurant like this needed to be arranged in advance. The Young Miss couldn't just look for a place to sit after entering the restaurant. Therefore, the steward needed to prepare everything in advance.
Before long, the steward came out of the restaurant and went to the side of the carriage. He bowed and said, "Young Miss, everything has been arranged. Please get off the carriage."
A girl's soft and weak voice was heard, "Thank you, Uncle Gui." After saying that, the door opened and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl walked out. The girl was dressed as a servant, but she was very pretty.
After the little girl got off the carriage, she stretched her hand to the side of the door. Then she stretched out her hand. The hand was wearing a white silk glove with a lotus flower embroidered on it. The hand gently touched the girl's hand. Then the girl slowly came out of the carriage.
Zhao Hai looked at the girl who came out and didn't look at her. He couldn't see anything, but the girl's figure was very petite. However, her face was covered with a veil, so he couldn't see what she looked like.
Zhao Hai also didn't intend to look at her for long. He looked at the girl and then turned his head to look around, maintaining vigilance at all times. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Zhao Hai always felt a pair of hostile eyes staring at them. In particular, those eyes were always on the Young Miss of the Rong Family. This made Zhao Hai very uncomfortable.
Zhao Hai was uncomfortable, not because he wanted to have something to do with the Young Miss of the Rong Family. In fact, he wouldn't do that. He was uncomfortable because there were already people who had ideas about them. He was afraid that there would be a lot of trouble in the future.
